im in need of urgent help..i think i soft bricked my s4 when trying to restore my efs backup.
i tried downgrading my firmware to mf8..and the modem was flashed as well.
When i checked the imei it was null.

After i put everything into the terminal and it was restored, i rebooted my phone.
Now my phone is stuck at samsung boot logo!!

Basically no matter what i do, its not booting and its stuck at boot logo.
I can access download mode and cwm recovery. On stock recover i get the error message "failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)"
is there anything i can do at all?
i still have multiple backups of my efs folder..i just dont know how to restore it

I'd suggest doing a flash of the stock firmware via ODIN.

Tried that, still no luck
You can try via kies. Do not connect the phone yet. Pull the battery out and use the information you can see there. Ooen kies Go to upgrade settings and find the one that ask you for your model. Fill the blank, then enter your s/n. A window will show up asking you again. Accept. And kies is suppose to start dowloading the firmware. Make sure to conect the device in dowload mode before it finishs dowloading.
Im not saying it gonna work 100% for you but i had restore a couple samsung devices using this method.
I prefer odin btw.

Tried this, didnt work.
I've had the issue with being stuck on the boot screen before - and it was because I wasn't deleting my cache before flashing the new firmware. Do this from within recovery :good:

Flash an older modem with Odin, that should solve your poblem, look in my signature for available modems.

Dear XDA Members
I have a Galaxy s4 GT-I9505 i had an old version of Omega Rom on my galaxy and everything was workin smooth. But i decided to flash a new rom and do a factory reset and delete all data then i flashed A modifyed stockrom with TWRP it was working fine until i restarted the phone and it stuck on the galaxy s4 Boot logo so i went to recovery and flashed it again with wipe/dalvik etc. I saw in TWRM the system was unmounted so i mounted it again. and flashed the same rom again. it was booting and after i was able to us the rom again until i restarted the phone and it stuck again
I then downloaded the Google stock rom for s4 and flashed it via TWRP after i could start the rom and could use it but when i restarted the phone it was stuck again on s4 boot logo. After dath i wiped and factory reseted many times and tried 3...4 other roms but i allways had the same problem.. i also tried an original stock rom via ODIN but this wont start at all. One thing i mentioned in TWRP under Mount it allways kiks out the System mount.
I tried to fix it for 8h now and cant find a way.. so i need Your help have you got any Idea what is wrong with my galaxy ?
thanks in afford
hey guys ... i was running cm12.1 on my duos s5 nicly then i wanted to move back to stock so i wiped all and flashed a rom i was using before and usually works i mean tested ... all goes well until the samsung logo appears and the phone sits there ! ... i tried flashing stock boc using odin and it booted so i went back and flashed the rom again and still stucks on logo again .... im using the kernel from the stock and also the flashing script is tested before its not something new ... why is this happeing ? what can prevent the rom from booting even to animation rather than a faulty kernel ?
Have you tried wiping again after Stock flash? I have had issues before where something seems to linger with the booting if wipe is done before flash.
Yea, I'd try factory resetting, if that fails, try flashing the PIT file for that mode S5 along with the 100% stock ROM - if that boots, flash your modded stock again
Flashing back
Hi man
First of all be sure you picked the right firmware. Clear the cache and try a factory reset. Then try to flash it again using Odin's latest version. Hope you'll make it.
So...I was using CM13 for my N910C and decided to go back to stock.
First I simply tried to flash the stock rom on Odin, but I got the FAIL message every time, so I did some research and figured it could be some problem with the PIT file. Download one for the N910C, flashed it with the stock rom and Odin did the process normally.
After that, I got in a boot loop, so I entered the recovery mod, did a factory reset and wipe cache and the boot loop continues.
It just shows the first Galaxy Note 4 logo for like 2s, then screen goes black and it repeats over and over again.
I tried to flash the rom again, tried to flash the pit file again, tried a different pit file (obviously for n910c) and no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks! And sorry for the poor english!
You have to backup your imei, then format efs partition and flash with odin.
