Firmware failed to install

[kostas90]

I have a 9195 running 4.2.2 stock. it was under the EUR csc and I tried to install a 4.4.2 through odin but it failed and now my phone is bricked. kies won't recognize it and it keeps turning when I insert it so I cant emergency recover the firmware. trying to download my old one but its not on sammobile anymore and its taking hours to download from this other random website I found. any clues as to why I couldn't flash it? does it have to do with my CSC? I was on EUR and I was trying to flash a branded one. but the brand is the my phone carrier and even though I dindt get it from them I figured it'd be okay

i wouldn't suggest to flash branded ones for non branded phones but anyway, you could try flashing mine from the unbrick/downgrade guide.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751224

make sure to follow the guide completely

This is what i do when it appears to say failed, i flash a stock recovery that should be in the attachments added to this post, put your phone into download mode, connect it up, wait for odin to see our device, then load the recovery into odin and hit start then it should restart and be in 4.4.2.
