Hello, I'm using Samsung s4 (GT-I9505 carrier free) device and I tried to root my device with ODIN. But the process got failed and now my device is briked. When I switch on my device I get an error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again". I tried recovering my device using kies but kies was unable to initialize my device model. Please help me to unbrick my device. Thanks in advance.
So I was trying to root my phone last night and watched some guides but none of them matched my Samsung Galaxy S4 4.4.2 SGH-1337m Sasktel so then I finally found an article: I cant post the link but the title was Samsung Galaxy S4 Android 4.4.2 KitKat Update: How To Root SGH-I337M Variant On Latest OS And Install Custom ROMs [TUTORIAL] Please look at it.
And so I used odin 3.09 exe and AP'd cf-autoroot and in the middle of the download it said failed rather than pass. After that I just pressed exit and pulled the plug, now my phone is saying Firm Upgrade encountered an issue...please selyatta yatta yatta.
Help is appreciated!
Hey dont take tension your phone is still alive it happened to me alao while rooting.It has simple solution just connect your phone to pc and open download mode in your phone then start odin and select that cf autoroot file and start rooting and after some minute your phone will be rooted and it will be working properly.

Hi guys. help me pls.
Yesterday I just installed custom recovery ( file name was : galaxy grand prime TWRP )which I flashed it in my galaxy grand prime SM-G530FZ using 'Flashify' from playstore. It asked to reboot, now it says 'can't do normal boot' and going to the odin mode. Please help. One more problem with this.
I have a laptop of my company and its admin protected. I can't install Samsung USB drivers to C drive in PC, therefore ODIN does not detect my phone. ADB and all requires TWRP when I searched for it. KINDLY TELL ME A SOLUTION.

Hello all, Ive been reading on these forums for years and ive always been able to find an answer using the search feature. However, Ive finally found a problem that I cant solve with a simple search. I was given a samsung galaxy j7 crown sm-s767vl that the person tried to remove an frp lock with miracle thunder. Now that I have it, It doesnt boot into android or recovery. The boot screen only says "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." It will boot into download mode though. Ive tried the recovery function in smart switch, but to no avail. Ive downloaded multiple stock firmwares, combination files, and repair files for it. Ive also tried to flash it with just the stock boot .img and stock recovery.img with odin. no matter what I try to flash with odin I get the same error " Kernel rev check fail. DEVICE:5 BINARY:1 (recovery)". I know im just not getting the right firmware, I had a similar problem with a galaxy S8, but I had it when it would still boot into android so I was able to get the exact firmware needed. this j7 crown doesnt boot into anything but download mode. heres all the info I can get from download mode.

Any help or guidance you guys give me to finding the right firmware version or fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. I have fixed or rooted many android phones over the years and have bricked a few, but have always been able to recover them with the help of XDA solely. Or even possibly an explanation of what im seeing on the downloading screen that pertains to the right firmware version
thanks

I attempted to flash my SM-T970 XAR with stock firmware using Odin. It failed, and now says "An error has occurred while updating the device software". Is there any way I can recover or have I just bricked my S7+? Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Try the Samsung smart switch(PC) to recovery if not you need fine the frp hijack by hagard do recovery(sofebrick)...reboot it will got you back to download mode.
Smart switch was unable to locate the device, but I tried flashing again using Odin and it worked this time! No idea why the first time failed - I did it exactly the same way.
