Help S4 I9500 soft bricked and can't recover with ODIN

[Mamboz]

Hi,

I have a Galaxy S4 I9500 and tried to update the ROM a few days ago. ODIN crashed before completing and I am now stuck in the yellow triangle screen with " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue....."

I downloaded the stock firmware from Samsung and when I try to install i get the following message:

<ID:0/004> Added!!

<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

Also the phone has a red message in the left corner: SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE:3 BINARY:2

I have also tried with to ODIN with a PIT file and looked at various forums and tried different things however nothing seems to work. Is there anything else i can do or is my phone busted?

Welcome to Android Central!

Are you using Samsung Kies to try to recover the phone?
