Hello and welcome to Android Forums Sahar10501 :)

Sorry to hear that you are having problems.

Can you post which method you used to root your GT-i9505, prior to installing the TWRP app and attempting to change to a custom recovery?

Sounds like you installed the rogue 2.8.5.0
Install 2.8.4.0, or Philz and you will be fine
 
The exploit has been closed off for about 8 or 9 months. Are you able to boot into Download Mode?
ive manged to boot up my phone normally and everything is okay i checked with root checker and my phone is rooted and its rebooting okay but when i want to go into recovery mode its shows this anoying message i mentioned above0

If we can now discount TowelRoot rooting as being the problem, I would suggest installing TWRP via Odin and use .tar file for TWRP 2.8.4.0 from here...

as my apprentice, Hawker, mentioned. See how you get on with that, first.

OK... PLAN B.

Re-root your phone using the instructions in Rooting Galaxy S4 - Dummies Guide. Check that you have rooted successfully and then try flashing TWRP via Odin again.
 
But my phone got bricked isnt it?

Your phone is, "bricked", if it will not power on and usually indicates a fried motherboard. You may need to download the stock Samsung firmware for your model of phone and CSC code, as per the instructions an links in #1.5 of
29 Galaxy S4 models - know yours?
You can then re-root it using Download mode and the guide I mentioned previously. This will get you to a known, good, rooted configuration again. You should also install the PhilZ recovery that is mentioned in that guide and take a nandroid backup before attempting to install TWRP again.

How odd! You are, I take it, in Germany and on CSC code DBT? Have you now, or in the past, tried to re-partition your .PIT file in Odin? This, as a matter of course, should be left unchecked.

Never re-parition it.
Does that mean i need to buy a new phone? :(
 
You didn't get this PIT error after flashing recovery initially, but this seemed to have started the PIT issue. Are you SURE the recovery you flashed was the correct one for your specific device?
You may have to re-flash the PIT partition, but before doing so, try the following:
Are you using the original USB cable? If not, do so.
Also try another USB port.

What version of Odin are you using? 3.09 is the "latest" but it if you are already on this, then it may be worth trying an older version (eg. 1.85 or 3.04)

Have you tried a Factory Data Reset in Recovery Mode?
