Hey guys!

I'm working with the I9505 at the moment.
I flashed Omega rom (Version 40) and the Wifi stopped working..
To fix it, I went to Sammobile and just went ahead and got the Stock Australian rom (So far I've tried with the stock 4x roms and none are working, even though the phone was at 4.2.2)
The phone won't take anything from Odin.

I get a "Fail" after trying to flash things to the phone.
The messages aren't always the same, depending on what I'm flashing. The most recent from odin is as follows:

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> I9505XXUEMK9_I9505XSAEMK3_I9505XXUEMK9_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
<ID:0/005> Removed!!
<ID:0/005> Added!!


The phone screen itself says:

ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9505
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC BURST MODE: enabled
START: [224,1440]


At other times it'll read things like Fused 4, Binary 1 and stuff like that...


Please help :(

Almost all Odin errors can be resolved by the following:

- Different usb port
- Different usb cable.

I9505XXUGNH6

should flash just fine.

The first one you flashed is 4.3 and you probably can't flash that anymore.

Hi!
I got it fixed (I think. Still got some testing to do) by booting the phone until it displayed something along the lines of 'Firmware update error recovery' and THAT 'version' of Odin allowed me to add the "I9505XXUGNH6_I9505XSAGNH1_I9505XXUGNH6_HOME.tar.md5" file

Not sure how that's any different from Odin but yeah, the phone boots, Wifi is on.. everything is fine. Going to try to add Root and TWRP later tonight though
