your phone then was already MJ5, I got mine back in October and it was then MJ5. then I rooted with kingo and the installed the KitKat rom, the I had to get back to MJ5 to get root so I could install a rooted kitkat, using drakeymcmb method
I see, and in my situation do u think I need to get another copy of the 2400258.zip file as long i am still getting errors there , or what is my chance now ?

Thanks for keep helping me ..

I would check my files and make sure the MD5 number match, I had issues and when I checked the MD5 numbers they showed a bad download of two of my files

After the heimdall step did you make it to 95% and fail? If so, you should have manually rebooted into system recovery and install both sec_csc.zip and the 2400258.zip?
I did make it to 100% and it stop with no error, so I close it and started the next step.

Seriously THANK YOU

I was goofing around with Safestrap, and ended up with no os and a softbrick. I luckily was able to install the KitKat leak, but it is buggy. With this tutorial I was able to return to 4.3, and have root back.

10 is just for root re download the bad files and start from 5 make sure to open as administrator if your still having issues re download all the file's and do it again

I did make it to 100% but i got that error :

ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!
ERROR: SYSTEM upload failed!

Ending session...
Releasing device interface...


** So is that mean MI9 img file not good ? or that is the normal error should come in 95%.

sometimes after you using Heimdall you have to re install Samsung drivers, this has happened to me , after installing drivers, odin would see my phone

Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones 1.5.27.0

or try this one

SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe

Well I followed the steps and now I get a "Direct pen input has stopped working" based on a google search, I need to reflash with the stock mj5 rom using odin.

Where can I find that?

Me Too, and can not find it anywhere.
Its just a MIRROR to the same mi9fix. if you READ the instructions fully you will see they never call for this special file. you are good to go if you have the mi9fix file downloaded.

i JUST did this about an hour ago and saved my phone from a soft bick. and i am now on drakeys knoxraid and running super smooth. all the files are there. dont worry about that mirror file.

follow the steps one by one slowly and they will bring your phone back from grave.

Please and Thanks
