HELP!

I installed IceCreamBread Apocalypse. After a few days of fine using, I turned it off and now it's stuck on the galaxy y logo! I flashed some stock ROMs from download mode. But then it just kept showing the logo, the logo vanishing, and the phone turning off! What's worse is that this problem REPEATS until I take out the battery!!!

Try to flash an stockkernel first and than a new firmware.maybe its help.good luck.
GREEEEEEEEEETZ!!!

when you flash stock rom does it boot up to recovery after flashing?

No. Just Download Mode.
EDIT: I sent my phone to Samsung to fix. They haven't noticed

S4 won't boot up, only SAMSUNG logo blinks

Hi,
I have this problem with my Galaxy S4 i9505 LTE. I was using this rom:
[ROM] Google Edition S4 rom for i9505[17 Dec][deodexed & odexed 4.4.2, 4.3 & 4.2.2] with I9505XXUEMKE_Modem.
I had some issue like random turn offs during call, lately the phone started to turn off more often and today it got worse. When I turned on the phone only the logo appeared, but the download mode worked. So I sad nevermind, I will flash back original ROM, so I flashed via Odin: ETL-I9505XXUEMK8.The flashig process went smoothly with no errors, but after the phone restarted the problem is still present (it didn't boot up).
Any suggestions? I am really desperate. Flashing back the original ROM was for me the solution for everything in every phone I had before.
Download mode still works fine but I am not sure what to flash and I don't want to just try everything. At least for the warranty issues I now have an original ROM inside.
Thanks guys!

I see u are using O2 company. The correct firmware for u is this one: HERE. Flash it and I think all will be ok :fingers-crossed:

Are you using the correct Odin version for i9505?

Thanks guys for the reply. I am using Odin 3.04, see the attachment.
The problem is still present, although a slight different. it looked promising because after the update the boot sequence started Samsung i9505 logo->O2 logo->SAMSUNG logo but then after 2 mins the phone turned off and now it turns off at this point (it stays on 2 minutes on the logo and then shuts down). I also removed my SD card and SIM card no difference.
I am really worried that some piece of HW is broken. I will have to take it back to Euronics, but what can I do to make it look like original?
On the other ROM it turned down after 2sec on this logo:

now it gets stuck for 2 mins and turned down on this logo:

Any other suggestions?
There are a lot of other options in ODIN, is there something I can do more e.g. reflash bootloader or something like that?
EDIT: I am suspicious about the battery because on the charger, it stays on longer also I discovered that without the cable plugged in, it turns off even in download mode after 10-15sec! Is this the case? I heard that some S4 had battery issues.
Thanks guys.

It's a battery problem, on charger the phone works.

Correct odin version for s4 i9505 is 3.09, it was made specifically for LTE version of s4. With others versions you can get errors like yours...

GT-I9505 unable to boot; freezes constantly in Download Mode; can't flash anything

Hello,
my Galaxy S4 got soft bricked recently and I am looking for a solution for 5 days now and now I decided to ask you guys for help since I can't find anyone with the same problem.
I had Albe95 LolliROM 9.0 (15/05/16) [HPA1] flashed on my phone for about 3 weeks and everything was perfect.
I was using my phone when it suddenly restarted itself and it got stuck in a bootloop (SAMSUNG animation). After many attempts I could boot into recovery (TWRP) but it would freeze there and I had to remove the battery...
I could also boot into Download Mode so I decided to flash a stock rom (I9505XXUHOJ2_I9505OXAHOJ2_I9505XXUHOJ2_HOME.tar) which I downloaded from Sammobile. Odin would always stuck at system.img.ext4 but again after many attempts it workted and I had success. When it was booting my phone froze at "optimizing apps". So I had to turn it off and restart again, but this time the phone was always freezing at the first samsung logo and wouldn't go further.
I can still go into Download mode but can't flash anything because eather Odin fails (complete(write) operation failed) or my phone freezes. Sometimes when I boot my phone into Download Mode the screen would do strange things like flickering and weird colors would show in DL Mode.
So my problem:
- booting into Download mode after works though it freezes sometimes
- can't flash roms because phone is freezing all the time

The model # in download mode is 9505? Was the phone ever dropped? You're using the original Samsung USB cable to flash?

Thanks for the reply.
-yes modelnr is 9505.
-i have not dropped my phone recently. I mean its over 3 years old so of course I've dropped it but never really bad and it has no scratches or anything.
-I've tried different cables and samsung cable was one of them.
I also tried all ports of my laptop even tried another pc

Maybe flash the stock rom with a pit file?

I didn't try this pit file thing because I don't understand the meaning of it exactly..
But after many many Odin flash attempts I got a success with a stock rom 5.0.1.
I think I figured out what the problem is but I can't really tell why it's happening (Hardware broken maybe, but which one?)
So after the flashing the stock rom successfully the phone restarted and started the first boot but it froze during the samsung animation again...
I thought maybe if I try a lot of times eventually it will work, so I tried and tried and it always got stuck at samsung animation. (before every boot I had to remove the battery and wait ca 10 sec because otherwise the phone would not start booting at all)
I did not come further than the samsung animation so I removed the battery and placed the phone (I almost gave up).
But after one hour I tried again and this time it passed the samsung animation and got to the Optimization part of the apps. aaaaand it froze there again.
I thought maybe if I wait again for 1 hour I can pass the optimization part. So I did and it really worked. I got to the startscreen.
So the current problem is:
- The phone boots and makes it to the homescreen and freezes after ca 10 seconds. And also I have to wait for about half an hour or one hour to get that far. If I try again right after the freezing I can't get passed the Samsung logo.
What could cause this freezing? Maybe the cpu has to "cool down" in the one hour of waiting and freezes because it gets to hot? I really don't know what it could be.

Something on the motherboard, likely either CPU, EMMC chip, or GPU, is failing. Why or how I don't know, but I'd have a tech look at it.

Note 3 SM-N900L bootloop issue

hi guys..so I was using phronesis rom on my Korean note 3 with custom kernel..when I used to turn the phone on it to say set warranty bit kernel on the top and used to get stuck at the logo then I would remove the battery and turn it on again and it would turn on..but yesterday my phone turned off automatically and was stuck in bootloop.it was not booting into twrp..so I flashed stock rom via odin but the bootloop was still there and I can not boot into recovery it would just restart and go back to booting normally and again bootloop..but if I remove the battery for a few minutes and then turn it on it works fine until i turn it off..now
thanks in advance.

From what I can tell, a possible issue you could have is with the battery. I used to have this problem, my phone would re-start for no apparent reason, couldn't even get to recovery. I switched the battery for another and it worked again. So maybe you could try that
