Samsung S4 SGH-I337 (AT&T) Soft Brake - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, I need some serious help to get back my phone. I am noob in such things so pardon me if I did some stupid stuff.
I was tiring to upgrade my phone from Android v. 4.4.4 to v. 5.0.0 following "droidviews.com/update-att-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337-to-lollipop-and-keep-root/" this tutorial "Update AT&T Galaxy S4 to Lollipop and Keep Root" every thing was going smooth but my phone automatically reboot it stuck on Samsung boot logo I waited for around 30 to 40 mins but nothing happened.
As I told earlier that I am a newbie so only thing for me was to Hit and Try.
First I tried downloading same file Android v. 5.0.0 from some other source and repeated the process but no luck. Afterwards I start following some other tutorial to get back my phone, I tried Part. 2 and Part. 3 both from sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26464" this tutoria and I was having these errors:
Part 2: 4.4.4(Farsat Sagvan).zip file
Code:
Error Sideload package.zip status 7
Part 3: 5.0.1(Farsat+Sagvan).zip file
Code:
Signature verification failed
I didn't new how to solve "Error Sideload package.zip status 7" but for "Signature verification failed" I tried installing both CWM and TWRP using Odain but every time I tried installing it Odain throws FAIL message (tried couple of versions of Odain as well as CWM)
After failing each time here is the last thing what I tied "trueandroid.com/i337ucufmld-android-4-4-2-kitkat-firmware-on-att-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337-test-build-how-to-guide/" from this site
How To Install I337UCUFMLD Android 4.4.2 KitKat Using OneClick Executable

[Q] Firmware upgrade encountered an issue

Hi all,
I have a Samsung galaxy S3 GT-I9300. 2 days ago it crashed and won't boot anymore. The reason was can't mount /cache, can't mount system ... on recovery mode. I tried only the wipe cache option and it did nothing.
I started looking at the forum to understand how to fix it. I deciced first to make a backup of my data if possible so I downloaded Odin v3.07 and philz_touch_6.07.9-i9300.tar.md5. I read in another thread that we can manage to copy data from the phone using philz tools.
The problem here is that flashing philz tools with Odin fails all the time. Now I can only access the download mode. At boot, I have a "Firmware upgrade encountered an Issue..." I tried with Kies recovery but it failed too.
In my sdcard, I have no folder clockwordmode ! In download mode
PRODUCT NAME : GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD : Yes (3)
CURRENT BINARY : Custom
SYSTEM STATUS : Ofiicial
I am bit lost as there seem to be a lot of options in other threads. I don'y know where to start or what to do ? is it the PIT files to restore ? the firmware, the kernel ? the whole OS ?
Many thanks
Don't use pit file. pit is Last resort!!!! Get stock firmware from sammobile.com and flash it through Odin. Forget kies. Read about Odin before flashing.
You'll need to flash with a *.pit file, and the ROM downloaded from sammobile in order to restore your device. Use the *.pit file as the absolute last option to restore your phone. It will repartition your phone, and any power loss of either the machine you are flashing from, or your phone will render it a permanent brick.
Thank you
I am downloading the latest firmware from sammobile (1.1 GB) and Odin 3.09. There are specific instructions for Odin on sammobile website so I don't think i'm goint to mess it up. I will let you know if it did work for me.
I tried to flash the image from sammobile but it failed. There is no log I can read to understand why
Here is the name of image I downloaded I9300XXUGML2_I9300FTMGML2_I9300BVUGML1_HOME.tar
Concerning Odin, its the 3.09 GS3 by l0gan

Shall I try with an older image (this one is the latest) ? or retry by messing the PIT ?
Nand write fail = motherboard replacement.
Keep trying to flash and don't give up but please leave pit till the end. Yes try three part recovery firmware and older firmware "not ics" SDS on ics firmware and you don't want that. But at the end of the day nand write fail means hardware failure.

However, I still have the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" at boot I removed the phone when I saw the message Removed in Odin. I am not sure whether it didn't let the process finish well or I did right. Any ideas or suggestions ?
I succeeded to reinstall the latest firmware and I got back the samsung logo at boot. However It still doesn't go any further and no recovery mode ... Is there a way to check the status of the system ?
Omg its alive!! Odin said pass! Just keep flashing that firmware till you get recovery and then factory reset.
Try the rescue firmware in general thread, follow the instructions exactly.

Hello
An update of my case. After struggling 2 days with NAND write fail and trying lots of firmwares... I succeeded to install CMW recovery tool. From that, I installed Cyanogenmod 10.0.2. I struggled to make it boot too as it looped on cyanogen logo many times.
Now I must confess that I am afraid of rebooting the phone as I thought it was dead :angel:
Hope it helps someone else :highfive:
Great feed back for others. and go's to show never give up flashing with Odin. Odin is a pain in the ....
Congrats :thumbup:

What model of s6 edge you haw??Look on samifirmware for yours model.Use odin 3.10.6 i think
and use the right region code BTW branding code..for free Germany it's dbt as example..
I hate to say it, but I have the exact same issue...
I tried to install TWRP, now the screen just goes blank after the Samsung logo.
I have downloaded the latest O2 UK firmware, flashed as normal using odin 3.10.6, and I get a "fail" too
Please could someone suggest something?
Thanks
EDIT: Re-flashed root, and all good again!
Guys i was upgrading official firmware through ODIN, but it failed. Tried flashing TWRP Recovery as well and below error occured. Need help as my S6 Edge 925F is stuck and won't boot. One more thing, i can enter download mode just fine.

PIT related error bothers me .......
@aneeqkhan I know this thread is a bit dated now, but nobody has replied to you question either? I am trying to recover my friends Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925I, his bricked after a failed standard OTA update. Flashing stock firmware worked for about 1 week then the whole thing crashed and is un-bootable. Attempting to flash the exact same firmware again in hopes that I could boot into recovery (recovery by button combination DOES NOT WORK!) so was hoping to just boot and factory reset (I was thinking that maybe a data corruption was the cause we didn't wipe his phone because he didn't back it up)...upon putting the device into download mode and flashing the exact same firmware package that worked the week before I get the same error that you are getting? Not only that but none of the claimed fixes online for these devices has worked!?
Note: This is a 100% stock device never had anything flashed to it before I got it and still hasn't had anything custom flashed to it either
I am more interested now if you managed to recover your S6 and if so how did you do it?

Galaxy S6: Bricked After Trying To Install Xposed

Pretty sure i bricked this to no repair.
So got my Sprint s6 edge few months ago and rooted it a week after. Sadly i dont know what i used rom wise to root it since its been a month+. Sadly i reformated pc awhile back so can't see the files i used.
Got bored and wanted to try and install xposed to add some new features to my phone. So just tried and i'm prety sure i bricked it hard...
what i followed
gs6.wonderhowto.com/how-to/install-xposed-framework-your-samsung-galaxy-s6-s6-edge-0163918/
It said make a recovery so i did by following
gs6.wonderhowto.com/how-to/install-custom-recovery-your-galaxy-s6-s6-edge-0161619/
I did what he did and after it asked for a reboot i rebooted and it got stuck on samsung boot logo saying "Recovery not SEANDROID Enforcing" in top left corner.
So i googled how to remove root and how to get past this screen and many suggested stock rom. I tried that and odin (v3.09) wont get past "Write NAND!"
I let it set for 20 minutes and nothing happened so i googled and everyone claimed trying different usb hubs and cables so i did that. I've tried every usb hub on my pc(8) and all 3 cables i had. So then tried different version v3.10.7 of odin and it fails with following

SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 1
So now i'm just lost and scared at what to do. I googled "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 1" And my findings are just to use stock rom...but thats what i did in first place. So now i'm stuck with a phone that is continuously rebooting itself to the samsung boot logo....
G925PVPU1AOCF_G925PSPT1AOCF_G925PVPU1AOCF_HOME.tar.md5 is the rom im trying to flash with and i believe it is stock because got it off this forum from a post claiming it was the new stock updated rom.
Can someone please help? I can skype or teamspeak or ventrilo or just use this forum to help me but i'm beyond confused on what to do now...
edit- phone is continuously rebooting itself to the samsung boot logo...but i managed to make it stop by making phone sit in download mode...
edit2- i can not go into recovery or safe mode. All i can do is wtach my phone go to the boot logo "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge" screen then to black screen back to boot screen. And i can put it into download mode.... Thats it...The brick is real...
edit 3- 40 views and not one help lol, seems i'll be craigslist shopping soon.
You tripped the Knox counter, that is for sure. Since you can enter download mode that means it is still possible to install the stock firmware. Did you use the correct firmware for your model?

i tried G925PVPU3BOJ7_G925PSPT3BOJ7_G925PVPU3BOJ7_HOME.tar which is a 5.1.1 stock rom and still same results!!!
Try performing a log cat. That is a low skill technique of diagnosing problems in android during a boot loop.

Samsung S6 Edge SM-G925F Stock Firmware Flashing Fail

Hi everyone, i firstly apologize if i'm on the wrong page with this question but i'm desperate and totally new to all of this, in way over my head really.
Here is my problem i have rooted my S6 Edge then i wanted to install TWRP Recovery before installing Xposed?...
But what happened is, my device got stuck during TWRP (i used Flashify).
After failing i looked for answers online i'v dowloaded Odin .6 and .7 i went into Odin mode and tried to flash stock firmware SM-G925FXXU3QOKN but it failed near finishing on both Odins. Now i'm not even sure anymore whether anything after "SM-G925FXXU3" is right or whether it even matters because i couldn't find the firmware for my country but on sammobile the firmwares of all our neighbouring countries end on "QOKN" so i guess what are the odds?
Now my device doesnt startup at all, unless it's plugged into the pc it displays a BLUE SCREEN: "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software"
(Smart Switch doesn't give me any options, Samsung kies is disabled by Samsung)
while the device is plugged in and showing the text i can get into Odin mode.
If anyone of you guys could help me out, that would mean a lot to me.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT; My device was running 5.1.1 lollipop

Hi Jamie, you probably have the right firmware BUT right after you've flashed the firmware and it fails at "hidden.img" you need to open the firmware file you have flashed and extract the "hidden.img" file.
Okay, when you have done so rename the file to "hidden.img.tar" (you may receive a warning that the file may become damaged)
Don't worry, proceed!
When the file is renamed, open Odin and add the hidden.img.tar file to the AP/PDA tab and flash it unto your device.
Be patient.

Getting this kind of log from odin. note this is copy from another thread, otherwise same but buildnumber is different..
I can't even flash twrp/philz recovery. without getting some error, PIT related.
I can't access recovery by anymeans as it wil boot up to that ''smart switch blablabla'' and pc will say it is not supported etc.
I only can access download-mode.
I have tried flash stock 5.1.1 PIT but it makes no difference.
This is 32gb model. How deep i'm in brown?
Got this working!
First i used odin 3.10.7 -> all fails
Then tried 3.10.6 -> first try successfully only that hidden.img was failed but i extracted from firmware and and flashed it after that.
Hope this helps someone.
if you had used smart switch on your pc, it was a lot easier............:good:
