[Q] phone won't work with odin

[m4gkman]

okay, so basically, i had 4.3 with ss running hyperdrive.I deleted the hyperdrive slot and then odin'd my phone back to stock, and proceeded to upgrade my phone up to current. I then used towel root, to make sure that i had root, and went on to install the newest (3.71 i believe) version of safestrap. I was running the aroma installer for the new hyperdrive when it just cut out and now my phone won't boot and the exact files i used to restore my phone with odin earlier today won't work anymore. Does anybody have any ideas on what i can do?

Well that was the most recent version I could find, but I just need to get my phone running again. Odin keeps failing and I cant seem to figure out why

hopefully i can get my phone running today. But I had seen on the safestrap sticky that you had directed me to yesterday, that was the most recent version and i even asked somebody on that thread for the modules to flash. I also read that with 4.4 you had to use the stock slot that was the downside. So what exactly do i have to do to get a rom working on 4.4?

Phone still won't comply with odin, it fails every time, even with files directly from samsung. I just want to get my phone back and running
heres what I get when I try.

Grab Odin 3.09 and try again.

I actually had odin 3 but it kept not responding. I took the phone to best buy and they fixed it real quick for me.

I've found that if the cable isn't positioned just right, Odin won't respond. Took me a while to figure that one out. Had to hold the cable and phone just right during my last Odin install to make it take.

Nearly lost my lunch when my first Odin flash failed. It was only due to sure strength of will and some persistence that I figured out what the problem was. At one point I thought I had a $380 brick. :laugh:

Been real hassle for some... Knock on wood... So far I have no issues with odin.
