Samsung s4 rooted unknown method unknown firmware stuck in download mode - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

So I was given this phone that is stuck in download mode and am having quite a few problems getting it flashed with odin.... it seems to fail every time. not sure on the original android version it was rooted on .. The only information I was given is that it was rooted at one point and then they did a factory wipe getting it stuck in download mode... Seeing as Im new to this whole scene any help would be much appriciated
Tried 3 different firmwares from a post here
and also tried to get kies to recognize the phone .. It will not ,It is stuck at connecting

Update:
On download screen : sw rev check fail....
If i have to choose a certain version of the firmware is there anyway to check the version I need without having to turn on the phone?

Does the sw rev check fail error mention a fuse and or binary with a number next to it?

So .. I got the phone working by doing a firmware upgrade or initialization in kies, So I suppose It is fixed now .. I would still like to know what the problem could be using odin? I tried 5 different firmware upgrades from oldest to newest and couldnt get it to work. It is still kinda vexxing me, im sure I was doing somthing wrong . Any extra insight would be helpful to avoid this headache in the future?

You should go back to kies and see what version it flashed. That way if this ever happens again you can download that version and flash it through odin

Can you explain how you did this? I am running into a similar problem and neither a firmware upgrade nor a kies initialization is working.

Same problem here, I also don't know what my phone bootloader or firmware, I'm also stock in download mode...hope someone can answer and help us...

[Q] Problem with pit part after flashing 4.2.1 of leak rom

Guys, first of all, if there's an answer for my q in previous posts I apologize and thank beforehand for the directions.
This is the deal, i flashed this rom in my gs3 intl version over mobile odin.
Everything went well, loaded fine and all, and the phone overall is working fine, the issue is, as i tried to inject root over odin on my pc, odin returned me the error "no pit partition" and failed.
Same thing happened as i tried to flash again my previous oficial rom.
Is there any solution for this? Can i get root? How do i go back to my ofw?
Thanks Thanks thanks and sorry again for my inexhaustible search.

Sounds like you flashed the wrong cfroot. Whats the filename of cfroot you flashed.
Also maybe a screenshot of the failed odin message.

Hi

Are you saying softbricked not booting or just that Kies no longer recognizes firmware due to conflicting firmware codes ??

Not booting, stuck at the "Firmware update has encountered an issue..." screen.
Can get into download mode only, not recovery. Cant flash cuz NAND write error fails on odin.
Thread reads as Nand damaged probably due to partition information table part of the nand faults .

Youre using the wrong factory image. Once upgraded you cant go backwards in firmware you can only go forward or flash the same one. So whatever version of the firmware you had on your phone you need to use that factory image in odin.

Trying to flash to stock firmware in Odin, NAND write fails?

As the title states, I am currently trying to flash my phone back to stock to fix a soft brick. I was trying to get the latest update since I was on a custom ROM and couldn't get the OTA. I got the firmware from Sammobile, from what I understand to be a reputable place to get them. The flash in Odin seemed to go normally until it had the phone restart, It is now is a loop of flashing the "Galaxy Note II" screen. And I had CWM installed, but I cannot get to the recovery with it in this loop.
Yes, I have read the sticky before posting this. I am doing the only recommended thing I can find to do for this sort problem, flash it back to stock. I have the stock firmware, directly from the link in the sticky, and when I go to start it on Odin this is what I get:

Is there something I'm missing/doing wrong? I have installed a few ROMs before, but I am fairly new to using Odin and flashing the firmware.
I would greatly appreciate any help with this
Thank you!
Hi,
Hope you used pit file in odin along with rom file. Also, do a factory reset after successful odin.

Yep, I believe that was the problem. I didn't know it needed the PIT for this.
The phone lives again, but it's strange. The flash was almost done, got to the sboot, and failed. My phone had "unsupported version" in red on the Odin screen. I rebooted the phone, it went to the android update screen, and now it is working like it did before all this.
Now the question is, why did the 4.3 firmware send it into a boot loop? Is the file on Sammobile the right one? Would it be better to just get my phone back to stock with a stock recovery, and get the update OTA?
It is possible that the usb port I used was bad, I seriously need to remember not to use the front ports for something like this...
I need to read up more on this so I don't screw it up next time.

It is important to note that if you take the OTA, it WILL relock your bootloader. This means no custom recovery and no custom ROMs.

s7 edge odin issue please help

so i am attempting to flash stock ATT firmware to my s7 edge from sprint. the phone is unlocked, fully paid for and has no issues. i went through developer mode and unlocked the bootloader and checked usb debugging. i keep getting sw rev check fail s7 edge fused 5 > binary 4 and it fails just after reaching <ID:0/003> hyp.mbn.

Hi, is your phone working fine when you flash the same version of OS what you had before ?
SM-G935P
the phone is originally sprint, it was working, had it unlocked, put it on att, last time it did that i got stuck in recovery bootloop and i had to "flash" stock sprint firmware. sad thing is it didn't fully flash to the original but it got it out of the loop, i suppose because whatever the file or system block is that stops it at hyp.mbn there is all that is needed to be fixed. in short yes it works fine. but i do not like the sprint bloatware and i need to at least get the att modem on the phone so that i can get proper signal
I think the only way to remove sprint bloatware is to root your device , and uninstall all that bloatware with root Uninstaller.
Do some research how to do that and look if is safe or not .
I can't provide anything here because is not tested and I don't want to bring your device in BRICK state .
SM-G935P has just firmwares for Sprint , so if you try to flash DBT unbranded firmware I think you will got Bootloop , I don't know because I don't have that device to make test .
from what i understand the only firmware you can flash is unlocked firmware, essentially SM-G935U from my days of research on it.
I'm really not sure , but if you think about flashing that firmware look with 5 files repair 5 file is .pit to wipe completely os and reflash that new one .
I think is better to search for people who has experience with that , to knows better what is risk and what not .

SM-G955U Unable to flash stock firmware

***EDIT*** The problem was that I was trying to flash firmware that wouldn't work on my bootloader version, I was running version 3, and the firmware I tried were all version 2. You can check the bootloader of firmware by starting at the right side of the firmware number, and counting back 5 spots.
Trying to get root, so I am downgrading the firmware, I have had nothing but trouble with it thus far, though. Any help would be appreciated.
SM-G955U - US Cellular Version
G955USQS3CRE2
Bootloader Version 3
Android 8.0.0
History of the phone, tried rooting quite a while ago, softbricked it, then went back to stock rom no problem. Flash forward a few months later, used the SamFail and PartCyborgRom method to have root, did not have mobile data, though, so I went back to stock, again. I was told after a bit that updating the modem would have fixed that issue, but oh well. Now, I want to use the SamFail mehtod to have root again, and fix the modem issue in the phone. I am trying to downgrade the firmware so that this will work.
However nothing is working properly.
List of all firmwares I have tried:

SM-G955U1_1_20170428100826_id2grime7e_fac
I have uninstalled the Samsung Drivers, rebooted and reinstalled, same for ADB. I have enabled USB Debugging. I can not enable OEM Unlock, locked bootloader.
For the Odin settings I have tried loading just AP. Then All of them. Then everything except for BL. Then all except for CSC.
The options I have checked are Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time.

My phone still works just fine, have not bricked it trying all of these. I am open to all suggestions at this point. I know I had the stock firmware at one point in time, and I am trying to find it at any cost.

I don't have this device and there's really not much on the forum regarding the US Cellular variant for your device.
Your best bet is to take a look at the following link to a very good forum that's specific for US Cellular devices.
http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/forum/481-samsung-galaxy-s8/
I don't often recommend members to another forum unless it's a much better solution for what's needed.
When i used to have a US Cellular device (like my older Galaxy S4 that's long gone now) I used to use that forum and it was extremely helpful there.
Good Luck!
