Brick? Hardware/Software bug?

Hi guys,
Yesterday, i turned off my device to sleep. When i turnet it on, it restart 3 times in sequence, than i take off battery , waited 1min e turned on again. But, it wasnt load OS, it freezed at Samsung logo.
So i decided to try restore the custom room (Google Edition), but i cant entered at cwm recovery, freezed downloading mode screen. Than i tried to flash with odin cwm again. Flash sucessfully but could not load cwm.
Than im started to getting panic, nervous and patience gone. I downloaded from sammobile the stock room and flash with odin. It isnt work again. After flash, the phone boot and freeze for loooooong time at screen with blue text recovering boot and Samsung logo.
I tried from KIES too, but have no sucess...
I dont know what I must have to do anymore. My ideas, knowlodge are now over. Is that any possible about triangle way cause this ? My device doesnt boot anymore. Always freezing screen. I waited for many minutes, like 20minutes and nothing.
Files that i downloaded:
- I9505_VJUBMG3_STOCK_RECOVERY.tar.md5
- I9505VJUBMG3_STOCK_KERNEL.tar.md5
- I9505VJUBMG3-PRE-ROOTED-ODEX-FULL.tar.md5
- I9505VJUAMDM_I9505ZTOAMDM_I9505VJUAMDM_HOME.tar.md5
- and Philz recovery, CWM recovery.
Guys, what really happened?

funny thing
tha same happened to me last week.
I fixed it by downloading another version of Stock Rom for s4 and flashing it with odin.
The stock rom I used had only 1 file (1.7gb) and flashed it using only the pda button.
maybe it will work for you also.
oh and by the way
I used team win recovery project instead of CWM recovery

Yeah, i think my problem isnt the room, because i have 2 here, one default from sammbile and other I9505VJUBMG3-PRE-ROOTED-ODEX-FULL.tar.md5
My problem is after flash the room, it isnt boot. It stop at Samsung logo with blue text recovering boot. How long did you waited for this? Or you just disconnect cable after reboot and flash again to teamwin ?

Flash the new Brazilian rom with odin ( http://www.hotfile.com/dl/234152687/723aa16/I9505VJUBMG3_I9505ZTOBMG3_ZTO.zip.html ).
Wait reboot. Power off, and reboot in recovery mode, wipe data + cache (Vol Up+Home+Power).
The first time, you need wait a lot of time (1~20 minutes).

TWRP isn't CWM, didn't see you mention it yet.

Today i must to give up, because time is against me. I leave the device at samsung assistence. Lets see what they will say for me.
I dont have screenshots, but im sure that i follow all those steps correctly. I tried many ways with odin, ticking unticking things, step by step.
By the way, im so happy with all here tried to help me. The beautifull word that i can say is Thanks, thanks guys!
Weird think: Switching from S4 for X10 is a punishment! My old and warrior X10 have no more battery life, like a mini screen now, slow cpu... but its ok, is better than my x810i.
Thank You guys (all people that help me), for everything.

[Q] GT-I9505 with CM10.2 Bootup Sometimes Hang Issue

Dear all,
I followed the CM webpage wiki to install the latest stable ver 10.2 on my S4 i9505.
Heimdall in download mode to install CWM
then boot into CWM to flash CM10.2
It didn't went smooth at start so I did a few times with the Heimdall and flash CM10.2 a few times.
Now everything works except once a while when reboot the Bootup screen hangs there before entering the CM loop logo. It only happen once a while and need to long press power button to reboot. There was once the 2nd reboot also hang there.
Any idea what's the possible cause and how to fix it?
Thanks a lot.

Thank you for the reply. I doubt that can solve the issue..
Could this be related to knox bootloader? I checked I got this void line 0x1 in download mode.

I think I might figured out the problem.
Might because I didn't do properly during rom flash. I forgot to wipe the system when flash cyanogenmod.
Could be because of this. I've switched to a different rom now, so won't be able to verify until decide switch back to cyanogen.

[Q] HELP! CWM Recovery Mode Wont Go Away???

I'll try to keep it short, just a few days ago my phone started to boot to CWM Recovery mode every time i turned it on, and I never installed anything or heard about this 'CWM' before it happened. (It says on the recovery mode 'Version 6.0.4.5' if this helps). It is also in Chinese language :/
My phone has been rooted for a few weeks and has worked perfectly until now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
So Is my phone screwed? Or can I fix this?
P.S. I heard flashing/installing (or something like that) new ROM can fix this, so I've downloaded a custom S4 ROM onto my SD card incase I need to use it (It's just the entire ZIP file with everything in it)
(EDIT: The top of my volume buttom is slightly jammed, could this be making it behave like this? ( Its never turned up my music automatically though)
Thanks in advance!
- Eddie

Hi mate,
it looks like something happen to your OS like part of was deleted or formated , the jam button is possible but is a 3 buttons combination, try to factory reset from the CWM if not i think your best shoth would be to try a custom rom or flash a stock rom

The factory reset using CWM doesn' work just reboots to the cwm recovery again :/
I have a zip file with an S4 ROM in it, If i had clear instructions then I'd do it, but the text is also in chinese :/

So before going to cwm reloader, it used to say ''Recovery booting.... Set Warranty Bit: Recovery''
After flashing the cwm to my device (it done everything successfully), not it says ''Recovery booting.... Recovery is not seandroid enforcing Set Warranty Bit: Recovery''
:/

oh and it just stays like that now, doesnt load cwm :/

SOLVED! So remember I tried flashing it before and it didnt do anything? Looks like I had to boot it in 'kernel mode', i did it accidentally and the new ROM booted up to setup and the phone works
Thank you so much for the help

Used an older version through odin

This ended up being sorted for me, as it just booted after about a half hour. But how, if you hit this red screen can you reflash? You aren't getting to dowload mode or recovery with that perma-red screen

lol, I spoke too soon again, was reflashing twrp after going back to a stock rom, this happened again for me only its not budging from red screen now. I can't get into download mode as I mentioned above too

hey guys I have the same
the phone dont even switch off
how did you fix it?
edit SOLUTION : I managed to reboot the phone with adb
add reboot
then I flashed the version 3.0.0.0 of TWRP and it worked !

Help!

I am having the same problem. Odin is stuck in "Setup Connection"
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks

You have probably flashed a wrong kernel.
The solution is to flash the right kernel for your device.

Lol. I have the very same problem: Flashed The Galaxy Project ROM and hit "update bootloader etc...." and now all I have is this red screen..... - Though the ROM worked for a couple of hours, but when I tried to enter the recovery I stock with this red screen. Cant even go into download mode...
Any help? How did you solved this issue?

I didn't, ****ty Rom just bricked it.
Just reflash the recovery or flash stock. I can't, my pc doesn't recognize my s7 anymore.

Same here. Only in my case I use this ROOM for weeks

Got Stucked at Bootloader screen

I was rooting my device and was successful l in that. I flashed TWRP and Magisk and after that I decided to install a custom ROM. While going for it I again wiped the - Delvik Cache, System, Data and Cache. And when I tried installing that ROM it doesn't gets install. Moreover I can't boot into System anymore and now I'm stucked at the screen saying "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted." Also the screen is showing "ID:N/A"
So please please please help me with this problem ASAP. I can't use my phone now please and I regret for what I've done.

Try booting into fastboot mode. Hold down volume down and power for several seconds. If you can get there, you can flash the stock ROM and hopefully get back to normal. There are other threads that show you how to install. Make sure you use a version that is greater than or equal to what you last had installed.

When you installed a custom ROM your stock ROM was gone. That's how it works. But the reason you're stuck at the screen you're at, I don't know.
Restoring back to stock is the first thing I'd try to see if you can actually use your phone
