[Q] Help! Rooted Samsung GT-9505 stuck on samsung logo

Hi!
I just rooted my Samsung GT-I9505 a few weeks ago with Odin v3.07 and CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5.
Note that I didn't install any custom ROM.
It worked fine until now.
When I turned my phone off, it got stuck in reboot. The screen is black with a "Android OS is upgrading.. Opening all applications."
It's been 30mins and it just stayed there so I decided to take the battery off, put it back in and turn myphone on.
Now it's just stuck with the samsung logo. And whenever I factory reset and reset cache it, it just get stuck with a black screen with a "Android OS is upgrading.. Opening all applications."
Did I just bricked my phone? Is there any way to fix this?
Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks!

Wrong section maybe?

From your post I see you got gt-i9505 and that is plain Galaxy S4, not Galaxy S4 Active (gt-i9295). Although the phones are quite like twins, try S4 forum instead.
But if you really have S4 Active (again, it's gt-i9295, it has 3 physical buttons insted of just Home under the screen) and you flashed 9505 as root method, this forum deals with your approach and this particular post might be of interest. There is however even easier way and that is to root from now working CWM recovery for i9295.
Either way good luck with your phone :fingers-crossed:

Yeah! Sorry. Posted it in the wrong section. Just don't know how I'll delete this post.
Aww.. Thanks! Hopefully it'll be fix before the morrow.

Please pay attention to the device forum in which you seek help
There are many models of S4 and use of some software will turn your device into a $700 paperweight

Secondhand device seemingly soft-bricked - need help

My sister acquired a Galaxy S5 on Craigslist that is seemingly soft-bricked. It boots up until part way through the animated Samsung logo and black screens.
The model is SM-G900A according to the sticker under the battery and it is an AT&T phone. I've attempted to follow one of the recovery guides floating around here to reflash the stock firmware, but I'm still stuck at the exact same place where it goes black during that Samsung logo.
If someone would be so kind as to point me to the correct guide if one exists on how to recover from this.
If more information is needed I'll try to provide it as best I can.

Phone won't boot anymore

HI guys. I have a bit of an issue with my phone.
It's the Sprint variant of the Galaxy Note 3 and I had been running Temasek's CM12 build on it. However, I wanted to try Sacs S6 port that was posted over at the Sprint Galaxy Note 3 forum.
I flashed it, but now when I try to load it, it gets stuck on the Samsung loading screen.
I tried to restore my phone back to the backup I made right before I flashed it but when I do that my phone shows the Galaxy Note III screen then turns black and nothing happens.
Any advice would be very appreciated. I'm very confused at the moment.

Sprint forum Q&A as its a different product .
Suggest recovery mounts and storage format system data cache preload .
Boot to download mode and flkash correct stock rom via Odin .

Any suggestions for what to do with Samsung T355Y Galaxy TAB A 8.0?

Samsung Glaxy TAB A 8.0 SM-T355Y (LTE version)
I need to get this Tab off Nougat (7.1.1) as it's dead slow and almost un-usable, even with rooting and debloating. My wife has stopped using it and I don't want it to become another piece of e-waste. I appear to be out of options and wondered if anyone had any suggestions.
Note: it appears there is also a T355 for the Asian/Arab market that it different to the T355Y. This model only shipped with 7.1.1.
So far I have tried the following:
a) Root/TWRP/debloat of stock ROM. This seems to work initially but any usage in a browser is painfully slow.
Then in an attempt to find something other then the stock nougat ROM
b) [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][LineageOS 16.0][Android 9.0][SM-T350]
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/development/rom-t3903258
Modifying the config to remove Assert details means that it flashes fine but during boot the screen distorts and when it recovers the touch screen is out of calibration and it emits a high pitched whine. Might be able to find a solution for the screen but we can't put up with the whine.
c) I then tried flashing the 7.1.1 stock boot image for the T355Y in combo with the above and it hangs at the Samsung screen and never goes any further.
d) I then tried flashing the 6.0.1 stock boot image for the T355 in combo with the above and get:
Kernel is not SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : Kernel
and it then hangs at the Samsung screen before rebooting into TWRP, any reboot just goes back into TWRP.
e) I then tried the FENIX V2 Rom based on 6.0.1 for the T355
[ROM][ROOT][STOCK][DEBLOATED][6.0.1] [FENIX ROM] Galaxy Tab A Series
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/development/rom-galaxy-tab-series-t3514996
This flashes fine from TWRP but the Wifi doesn't work, the solution by the creator of the ROM is to load a stock Russian 6.0.1 ROM via ODIN first but this won't work as I get Secure Check Fail: aboot as clearly its a ROM for a slightly different model.
Now I seem to be out of options that I can find. Anyone got suggestions for what to try next?

Any updates?

Bump!
Desperately looking for a way to make this device workable!
Any option including building own ROM, installing pure Linux, etc.is acceptable at this point. All I need is for WiFi to work.
PLEASE HELP!
