S4 turns on in download mode :(

Hello, I'm having problems rooting my s4 i9505 v4.4.2
I would try and install a different version than the one I had on my phone but this did not go as I thought.
I used Odin v3.07 and try me out, but something went wrong I did not finish what I was doing, and will now cancel all together.
Now comes my problem. When I turn on the phone (after empty battery) comes into download mode. If I use the phone, I only use it in Safe Mode.
Could you be so kind and help me to make my phone back to normal? What do I need to do. I am using android 4.4.2.
My phone must be switched off in mist 15 hours before it turns on "normal" (with all apps) Trying to connect it to Odin again, but what must I do to get your phone back to normal mode?
Excuse my English, but googgle translator is my friend now

flash stock firmware 4.4.2 via odin. you can not downgrade to 4.3 or to 4.2.2 because of the new bootloader
if you want to root go here http://download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip, scroll down and click on CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip. Unzip it and flash it via odin as ap. flash root after you flashed stock 4.4.2 firmware

Hello, and thanks for a answer
I have not installed 4.4.2 on my phone. This version was upgraded by samsung its server. (original) for a good while ago
My phone was put into download mode AFTER I tried to install a different operating system via Odin.
so my question is: How can I disable the download mode on my phone?
( I don`t know how I use Odin ) Who should I choose: Bootloader, PDA, Phone or CSC ?
Best regards from Norway

Good Lord, have mercy....
So, in post #1, you have stated that you used Odin... in post #3 you are telling us that you do not know how to use it...
OK...go here, pick your preferred stock ROM (from 4.2.2 options). It will lead you to download page, which contains a short but good instruction, answering your question what to flash as well.
And, DO NOT interrupt the flashing process.

I know but if the server (I think you mean OTA) updated it to 4.4.2, odin will fail to flash 4.3 or 4.2.2 so download 4.4.2 firmware and flash it via odin as pda.
Go to settings->more tab->Device Information-> Press home + power buttong. it will take screenshot.
plug in usb cable to pc and to galaxy s4
go to internal storage-> screenshots upload it here so we can see which version you have

Hello
Ok .... sorry. I tried using Odin, but could obviously not, since the phone is in download mode.
I do NOT want to install anything. Just want back my old phone as it was. Then again. How do I disable download mode?
Do I need to install anything on the phone.... to get it back to normal startup .... WITHOUT download mode?

IF your phone boots to download mode, it usually means: corrupted update of ROM or not completed update. This means: currently there is no operational ROM on your phone, sorry.
Furthermore, you CANNOT use Odin WITHOUT going to download mode. To use Odin, you MUST set your phone to that status.
Now, going to your situation:
You have two options:
1. when phone is in download mode, download and install Samsung KIES to your PC, connect phone and follow the procedure. It will most lokely download and install the latest firmware available for your phone.
2. Go to mentioned by me earlier page, download manually firmware of your choice, and follow the instructions there.
NO OTHER OPTIONS.

Hello
I have installed KIES, there are no updates available
also .... KIES do not get contact the phone when it is in download mode.( I try that now )
Sorry that I ask, but what is ROM? is the operating system android 4.4.2?
ps: you say: Furthermore, you CANNOT use Odin WITHOUT going to download mode. To use Odin, you MUST set your phone to that status.
I can not connect to Odin when I put my phone in download mode.

Jon

1. Yes, ROM is operating system. no, it is not necessarily the 4.4.2 version.
2. Odin shall see your phone if you'll connect it to PC. On PC: start task manager (using Ctrl+alt+Del), go to processes and kill everything with KIES in name. Then start Odin, then connect the phone, wait approx 20-30 secs and make the screenshot from PC. Put it here.
3. I did not asked you to perform the update, but to perform emergency recovery according to this procedure (may slightly vary depending from the KIES version.
However, if the phone is not visible on your PC by KIES and by Odin, it is something wrong more deeply... Connect the phone to PC, go to device manager and take a look if it is visible there (like samsung phone, android phone/device or adb device).
IF your phone is not visible by PC (assuming that the Samsung drivers are installed correctly on your PC, it shall be installed with KIES), you may have to go to the service center as your only available option.
You may try the JTAG option (use Google to look for it), but it is too complicated for newbie, sorry.
PS: sorry, for me it is obvious, but may be not so obvious for you: battery shall be above 60% while starting connection to pc in download mode. I'd recommend you to charge it fully on phone turned off, then start checking connections.

ok

So just to summarize:
You have no idea how to use Odin, yet you decide to flash your phone?
You don't have any backups?? That's the number 1 rule to do.
What rom did you try to flash? Did the flashing succeed? Or didn't you flash any rom, but where you just trying to root it?

Assuming you can go into download mode, you can the appropriate firmware for your tablet from http://sammobile.com. You will also need to have Odin installed on your computer. When you're booting up your tablet, you need to hold the power and volume down button until you see a screen with an exclamation mark. Run Odin on your computer, load up the firmware file into the PDA, then plug your tablet into your computer via USB. Press Start on Odin and let it run. When it's finished, your tablet should restart and everything should be working like new.

hey.. thanks to answer me
but i`m searching in sammobile and no firmware (((

nope i dont where to download the STOCK and even the procedure

I would DL stock KitKat with this link:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=33706
You might have to register to DL but sammobile is the only place I can find a decent DL for it.
Once it downloads unzip the file.
Download Odin 3.09 (you can find a free download everywhere).
Make sure your device is off, then hold vol dn and them power till it says to hit the button for download mode.
Once in download mode plug into your computer and if windows 7 or 8 let the drivers install fully.
If it does not find drivers then look for them manually.
Once you've got the drivers open Odin. It should be a green light on comm 1 or something like that showing a device is plugged into it.
Make sure ONLY F Reset Time and Auto Reboot are checked and nothing else.
Hit the AP button and find the tar file or md5 file you unzipped earlier.
Once it loads up hit start and hope for the best while it flashes.
Warning; read more about this before you try it. Once KitKat flashes do not try to downgrade, but read all about it.
I linked you to firmware for device SM-T231 so that had better be your device. Triple and quadruple check to make sure the file is the right one for your device...
Hope this helps.

Try connecting your phone when its in download and try with Odin, if it recognize your device than just flash stock rom.

Try a different version of Odin first. For me only 3.09 and upwards works.

Install Samsung kies 3 to make the phone recognizable by pc and try flashing stock firmware with odin 3.09

First of all, you should download the drivers and stock rom from Sammobile.
Found the drivers here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/k93a92c9rpyg4r5/Samsung-Usb-Driver-v1.5.55.0.exe
(not sure if they work, go and ahead install them and boot to download mode, then see, if odin recognizes it)
Latest Odin download: http://odindownload.com/
If the drivers work and your device is connected to the computer(also boot into download mode) and odin recognizes it:
1) Choose bootloader, then search for your downloaded firmware.
2) Head to the options tab and tick "Nand Erase All", "Phone EFS Clear" and "Phone Bootloader Update".
3) Then hit start and wait it to finish.
It should delete everything on your phone, restore it like it came out of the box.
If the drivers don't work let me know, I'll search for other working ones.

Thank you for your reply, but I cant flash new fw because my PC dont see phone and phone itself cant go to .proper download mode, only to this fail screen. I have drivers installed and PC and odin sees other galaxy s7 so its probably not driver issue..
