Samsung Galaxy S4 Rooting Problem. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
Recently i tried to root my Galaxy S4 I9505 XXUHPA1 with android 5.0.1 lollipop via Odin 3.10.6 (i tried with older version as 3.0.7 too but same result) but it kept telling me that there was no PIT Partition so i downloaded the PIT file for I9505 but then it says: Complete(Write) operation failed.
how do i fix that problem?

lol nvm i used my brothers galaxy S6 usb cable and now it just happend to work fine! rooted at last..

[Q] Flash kernel fail

Hello, after i read up on this whole thing with rooting your phone and so on i finally tried it.
So as i tried i downloaded Odin v3.04 for the kernel root, Samsung Kiev for the phone drivers and Samsung Quick Root for the Root process.
So, i downloaded a compatitble kernal for my Samsung Galaxy Sll Gt-i9100, version 4.0.4, kernel xxlq6.
Then i put my phone into downloading mode and USB connected it. PDA'd the Kernel file in Odin and rooted.
As it turned out it bricked me as the kernel didn't Flash and that infamous Triangle appeared and my phone just sat like that.
It did not permit me to enter the Recovery mode but i could enter the Downloading mode again.
So after that i downloaded Siyah's "all in-one kernel" and tried with Odin again and here's what happend.
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1).
And now this happens on every single kernel file i try to download root on my phone. Thoughts? Do i have to USB-jig or is there an solution for me?

[Q] GT-I9300.pit installed out of Desperation!

I will not go into detail but suffice to say I was running my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 on a stock Samsung Android 4.1.2 ROM and it was rooted and had a custom CWM Recovery.
I then flashed to CM 10.0.0 but encountered problems and tried to revert to my original ROM. This resulted in my phone displaying the initial black background boot screen with the words "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300". It stuck there and I could not switch it off nor could I get into Recovery Mode.
I was able to get into Download mode and connect to Odin to reflash my original ROM but Odin continually got stuck in the process at "Setup Communication" and on the odd occasion it got past that it then stuck on "Get Pit Mapping".
After much research of this and other forums found one lone article about Samsung introducing new ROMS from July 2013 onwards which had efs2 and that once upgrading to an efs2 ROM you could not go back to a previous efs1 ROM which I think I tried to do.
I eventually decided therefore to bite the bullet and I downloaded GT-I9300.pit and flashed it using Odin with Re-Partition selected. I was then able to flash Samsungs latest Android 4.3 (I9300XXUGMK6) ROM for the I9300.
The result is that whilst the phone is again fully functional I am unable to install a custom recovery nor can I root my phone.
I thought that if I used the GT-I9300.pit file it would re-partition the phone as a I9300 should be partitioned but it seems I was wrong.
I am happy with my phone now that I have recovered it but would like to be able to backup my rom but I need root to do that. Does anyone know what I have done with my phone and are you able to advise as to how I might now root it again?
Thanks

After flashing the stock rom when coming from a custom rom is always best to do a factory reset to clear the phone.
You can root with CF auto root from my signature it works perfectly well on stock 4.3 MK6, then use TWRP or Philz recovery both are in the Dev section

As you can see from the above it looks as though the process falters at "<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping.." which would appear to have something to do with the fact that I had to re-partition using GT-I9300.pit and that is what prompted my question in the first place.
It appears to me that the GT-I9300.pit file has altered my partitions in a non I9300 way despite having I9300 in the filename and that is why I posted the question in the hope someone would know what I had done and hopefully know a way I could either reverse what I had done or suggest a way to root despite my apparently new partition format?

Have a look here then you my be able to recover your device, it is Korean based so will default to KOR not BTU but it could repair the PIT problem if that is what you have.

Please read my initial post(#1).
I have already recovered my phone and it is working correctly on Samsung Official Stock 4.3 ROM (Android 4.3 - I9300XXUGMK6) EXCEPT that I cannot flash a custom Recovery nor can I root the phone. I have several apps that only operate on a rooted phone so just rooting it without a custom recovery would suffice.
If someone tells me that it is no longer possible to root my phone then I will be disappointed but I can live with it. I just thought someone might know the answer.
That problem in Odin might be related to incorrect drivers for your phone.
Remove any kies or Samsung softwares and reboot pc. Reinstall kies and connect phone 2 pc for drivers install. Then try a different usb port to flash smth on the phone.

I think i had the same problem with rooting and done reinstalling drivers and change the port so it is now rooted.
Also try unticking autoreboot then after the instalation is done disconnect the phone and remove/reinsert battery and boot to recovery so the auto root files start to install...
Of course everything you do is at your own risk...

Hi!

Flashing "cm-12.1-20151016-UNOFFICIAL-temasek-i9300-V18.0-ds94-FIXED.zip" (Android 5.1.1) and running smooth for 2 days. Recharing battery overnight causing bootloop.

whats about hard brick sd card recovery bootloader?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166
i have same working s3 on android 5.1.1 -> one idea is to safe working bootloader to sd card and flash the bricked phone.
I found out that "cm-12.1-20151016-UNOFFICIAL-temasek-i9300-V18.0-ds94-FIXED.zip"
using 4.1.2 bootloader (i9300xxemc2) which can cause bootloop on i9300.
Another i9300 with stock firmware using i9300xxugna8 with bootloader 4.3 should avoid bootloop, however forbid downgrade to earlier versions.
Based on this information, anyway to debrick phone without replacing emmc?
greets
