unrooting fails in ODIN

Hello,
I am unrooted my note 2 before, at that time it didnt give me this problem. Now this time i followed exact procedure, but Odin gives me failed notification and now i can only go to download mode. My fone was only 31% charged when I tried to unroot, Now I also don't know if the phone's charging or not. I would really appreciate any help. Thank you

Go to kies software and click tools.. repair firmware.. will ask for S/N numver located in the battery compartment behind the battery.
Kies will do the rest. Ur successfully unrooted and on total stock rom from Samsung.
Allbur data will be lost.

ive loaded CWM boot its stock at the boot screen.
i need help fast.
i checked my IMEI and it say my device is the europe region version...but that stock rom doesnt flash with odin..i have tried the the india and the new 4.3 leak as well same result.....im crying now.

I have tried emergency firmware recovery from kies, its not displaying my phone model (I think not detecting my phone). I tried upgrading the firmware, it got stucked in downloading the firmware from server( I waited for more than 2 hrs).
By lot of searching various threads, I tried different region stock firm...I tried different versions of odin....I tried different USB ports, but still failed.....
I almost lost hoped but when I changed to different usb cable (original samsung note 2)....EUREKA....IT PASSED......I think the problem was usb cable (I was using nokia usb cable).......
If anyone has similar problem...pls try changing usb ports...use samsung usb cable(note 2 only).....try charging ur battery.....try latest firmware...try different versions of odin...try kies emergency recovery firmware.........AS LONG AS UR PHONE GOES TO DOWNLOAD MODE DON"T LOOSE HOPE COZ UR PHONE CAN BE RECOVERED..........

yes i can.
i flashed cwm 6 root with odin. now im back to a very slow cyanogenmod.
can i load custom roms from here?

If you can into recovery mode (CWM) and if your phone is rooted you can flash any custom rom from there....
Check the threads of the roms which you want to install.....procedure is always there...

[Q] I need some help please

I'll try and give as much info as possible so that hopefully this is easy to figure out.
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy s3 sch-r530u the US Cellular version. I didn't see a US Cellular forum and read someplace that it's the same as the at&t one so that's why I'm posting in here.
About a month or so ago I rooted and installed cyanogenmod with the installer and it installed I believe 11.1 maybe 11.2. The Android version my phone said it was I'm pretty sure was 4.4.2. Today in about phone in the settings I got a new version available message so I tried to do an update, which I was understanding that it was a cyanogenmod update and not a stock update but maybe I was wrong.
Right after the update my phone would boot to the boot screen with the blue robot guy on it and freeze basically. I was able to get into CWM and also into download mode. I did a little looking around and went into CWM and did the factory reset/wipe and cleared the cache and dalvik and that changed nothing.
Then I tried to flash the cyanogenmod 10.2 from inside CWM because I read someplace that it fixed the problem for someone else and it just failed when I tried. I also tried to fix via Kies and it isn't accepting my serial number for some reason. Then I found the teamuscellular website and grabbed both roms that say are stock roms and tried to flash both of those (not at the same time) via Odin and when I did the first one I got the something happened during firmware upgrade error.
I eventually fixed that by flashing the pit file with Odin and now I'm back to being stuck on the blue robot boot screen. When I try to flash either stock rom from teamuscellular in Odin they fail at some point and then I have to reflash the pit file again.
Somewhere along the line I couldn't get into CWM anymore and had to reflash that and I now have the philz touch 6.09.2 version of that.
I currently can get into both CWM and Download mode but for the life of me nothing I try works. When I go into Download mode what reads in the top left corner is this
odin mode, in red letters
Product name: SCH-R530U, in white letters
Custom binary download: Yes (4 counts), in white letters
Current Binary: Custom, in white letters
System Status: Custom, in white letters
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable, in grey letters
Waranty bit: 1, in red letters
Bootloader Ap Swrev: 1, in grey letters
When I try and flash a rom and it fails I get some other line of text in red but I forget what it says
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
EDIT - Also a number of places directed me to samsungs updates websites to get the stock mod for my phone but there isn't one there for the SCH-R530U.
Also I'm looking at the how to guide for unbricking and I see something there about the status 7 error, which I do believe I got when I tried to flash the 2 teamuscellular stock mods but I don't remember for certain. I know one thing I didn't try was updating my bootloader.
I've also tried fixing with the simple upgrade tool and it fails also.

OK so I went ahead and tried the simple upgrade tool again to see the errors it gave me and in the bottom left corner of the program it had gone through a few things and failed when it said ABOOT.
And also at that same time on the download mode screen it added this line in red text at the bottom of the list in the top left corner on my phone screen
SW REV CHECKFAIL: FUSED1>Binary0

Based on a quick search, your phone supports CDMA and the AT&T version is GSM so they are not identical.
Your phone has the 4.3 bootloader with knox security. Since you flashed a custom recovery, it tripped the knox counter which voids any existing warranty.
The 4.3 bootloader cannot be downgraded to an older version and attempts to do so, either in download or recovery, may brick the phone.
In order to flash the phone in Odin, you would need to have a full and completely stock 4.3 ROM and not just a OTA update of the 4.3 ROM.
I suggest that you upgrade your recovery to the latest version and flash a custom ROM to try and get your phone functioning.

OK. What exactly should I be looking for when you say I should upgrade my recovery? If I remember right I thought I removed that stupid Knox crap or maybe I just disabled it I forget exactly.

You can try and fix your phone by updating your recovery to the latest version of CWM for your phone. Then, download an install a custom ROM for your phone.
If you are not sure of what or how to do upgrade your recovery, don't do it until you have done some research and really understand the process.
As with any software change, there is no guarantee you won't brick your phone in the process.

Yeah I understand, I just wanted to make sure you meant CWM. So you think I should try reflashing a 4.3 custom rom over a 4.4? It was running 4.4.2 totally fine for a month ish.

If you want to install another ROM, I recommend doing a full wipe, including the system, cache, Davik, and data, before installing the new ROM.
I have switched between older and newer ROMs without a problem on my i747m.

Ok. I'll definitely wipe everything as I did in the past maybe there's one that I'm missing somehow. I wipe everything and somehow the blue robot boot screen is still there.

Thanks for all of your help. Your suggestions definitely led me in the right direction. I ended up finding a modified stock 4.3 with the bootloader file removed and since it seemed like my issues were related to that I figured what the hell I'll try it, I was almost at the point of going and getting a new phone anyhow. Because it wasn't completely bricked I wanted to try everything I could though and this worked!!!
Thanks again!!

[Q] Custom Binary to Official binary Galaxy s3

I recently tried to initialize the firmware of my galaxy s3 running 4.4.2 to factory settings. But samsung Kies tried to install 4.1 into my phone and it bricked my device. It wasn't booting since then. So i tried to install something using odin according to a website and my phone started working properly. But now the issue is, when the phone is in download mode, it shows that the current binary is custom, the System status is Custom and the warranty bit is 1(in red color). I tried installing an app from google pay to check whether its rooted. and it says the phone is not rooted. Also i checked the phone by putting it in recovery mode, and it says its running android system recovey <3e>. So that seems fine too. But im confused why the phone is showing that the current binary is custom and also the system status is also custom while the phone is not rooted? Ive included a before (pic with three fail messages) and after screnshot of the download mode of my phone. Please help

Flashing non-stock software via Odin will cause this.
To reset everything, it is best to root, run triangle away, remove root. and it may go back to official.
The status may remain at custom since AT&T never released a full 4.4.2 ROM as KK was only available via OTA.

[Q] Back to stock from Lollipop

Hi everyone
Long time xda follower, newly registered, since I needed to ask a Q.
I rooted and switched to Lollipop on my ATT S3 (i747) a few months ago, Lately, I've started noticing battery issues as well as network issues with this ROM. I figure it is time for me to go back to stock.
However, if I remember correctly, when I tried previously the phone refused to downgrade back to stock. Kies was helpless because the trip counter had been reset (or something similar).
Please, is there a good how-to on downgrading this phone from Lollipop back to stock? If yes, would someone please point me to it?
Much thanks in advance.

Hmm.. I am going to give this a try:

Nope! No go!!
Triangle away reset the counter.
The stock recovery works well. I was able to boot to recovery and wipe the data and all that.
Odin says "SW Revcheck Fail" when trying to download the stock rom.
I rebooted into Lollipop, downloaded Triangle away again and reset the counter. Still Odin fails with the same message.
I tried flashing ROM first then the recovery as it was suggested in that link. Nope. Again "SW Revcheck fail". For the record, my SWREV appears to be 3. It is supposed to be 0. Triangle Away does NOT reset this. It did reset another counter (as reported by Triangle away itself - was 5, got reset to 0).
I remember *this* was the problem previously as well, hence the original Q:
How *do* you get back to stock from Lollipop on the Galaxy S3/ATT?
Meanwhile, although Keis failed to recognize the device, I tried to run a firmware recovery manually. It took a long time and in the end failed. It also messed up the recovery, so I had to flash CW again to make it bootable. I'm still back up with Lollipop at this point, but I don't want Lollipop.
Anyone anything else I can do? Any other guide out there to downgrade?
Thanks again

The thread you linked is for the international version of the s3.
Before flashing anything else, you need to confirm the bootloader on your phone to ensure that you don't flash anything that attempts to change the bootloader if your bootloader is mjb or newer.

Right. I finally figured it out.
First the 4.1.1 FWs weren't flashing (in other words SW REV CHK FAIL) was basically indicating that my Bootloader was far ahead of the 4.1.1. I dropped 4.1 after I figured that part out.
Next, I tried to flash a 4.4 (UCUFNE-rooted-odex is available as a zip-flash) through CWR, which didn't work (no boot, stuck at splash).
Next I got hold of a 4.3 (UCUEMJB-2024954-REV04-user-low-ship), which successfully flashed through Odin (repartition checked), but there was no sound, IMEI indicated null. Service Mode yielded a blank screen.
I flashed TWRP through Odin (was working on CWR since the beginning) and then flashed the UCUFNE-rooted-odex above on top of 4.3 through TWRP, which was successful, still no sound/IMEI/service mode.
Finally I got hold of the UCUFNE-Modembaseband zip (a small one - 20MB) and flashed that through TWRP. Both sound and IMEI came back.
I'm at 4.4.2 now, but an OTA update from ATT failed (probably because it went through TWRP)
Now I'm back to stock, albeit rooted ROM (because of the Rooted-Odex 4.4 flash), but I am a happy camper.
Thanks to XDA for various bits of info here and there. But essentially *this* is how you go back to stock from Lollipop.

[Q] [Samsung Galaxy S4 ] Problem after flashing a ROM (Firmware upgrade encounter)

Hello everybody,
I bought Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919V ( Videotron) 3 days ago worn. This one worked on the version 5.0.1 of Android. I wanted it to be unlock. I saw the technique of * 0011 * (http: // bit.ly / 1ipFgwB), but it did not work because, according to what I read, it worked)only before Android 4.3. I thought that maybe if I flashed Android 4.3 I will able to unlock my S4 and go back in 5.0.1.
I rooted my telephone with no problem with CF-Auto-Root. I then installed TWRP. I did not made a backup. Then, I downloaded a ROM of Android 4.2.2. I put my telephone in Recovery Mode and I tried of wipe it as in tutoriels. Accidentally I pressed on Factory restore. I realized that the ROM was not on my device. I closed my phone and I reopened it. The screen was stuck on the logo Samsung. Because of that, I tried to restore it completely. I tried with TWRP, but it did not work. I tried to install the ROM that I had put on the micro-sd. I tried to flash with TWRP, but it did not work. I tried with ODIN, but it did not work too and the little box was red and had spelt FAIL. Since then, my telephone shows " Firmware upgrade encounteredand issue". I cannot go recovery mode. Kies does not recognize my telephone.
I tried to glash my phone with several other official ROMA than I got at Sammobile and of other site. I also tried with ODIN 3.07, 3.09, 3.10. I have the last drivers Samsung also.
I would send screenshot if you need it
Thank you very much

You can not downgrade that phone below version 4.4.2. Believe me, I tried. Try using 4.4.2 or 4.4.4. I unlocked my phone using the steps I outlined in this thread-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/unlock-method-m919-m919n-t3138503
Going to anything less than 4.4.2 gave me the same error. Now with the Google Play roms that are floating around, you can downgrade from those to 4.42 and 4.4.4, but again, nothing below.
SamMobile.com has those for download here---> http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-M919/
