Help! Just softbricked my gs4!

So i was trying to upgrade cyanogenmod 10 to 12.1. So i download a cm rom off of the intenet and put it onto a micro sd card. I boot my gs4 up into recovery mode and try to update it. And the screen turns black. I try to boot up my gs4 normally and it gets stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy IV" Logo. So, i turn it off and try to boot into recovery mode. The "Samsung Galaxy IV" Logo flashes for about 1 second and then dissapears. So i go on the internet and get the stock samsung rom and try to flash it using odin3. It doesnt work. I already backed up everything i wanted prior to all of this. At this point i just want to get my phone back up and running again. Any Help??

Samsung Galaxy S5 Stuck at Samsung Logo

Hi guys first i want you to know that my english is bad...
My phone is G900K - SpaceX Rom 5.0
I am using SpaceX Rom 5.0 for weeks and it is buggy, i experience random boot,app crash,fast battery drain and freezes.
Yesterday i reboot my phone and after "Android is Starting" i got message that System Crash or System UI i am not sure what it is but it has System word in error report. Then my phone didn't start so i remove the battery and put it again. After pressing on the Power on Button my S5 starts and i notice the Blue Light in Upper Left didn't Light Up and my phone didn't boot to 2nd Samsung Logo. When i press Power On Button my S5 will turn on and 1st Samsung Logo will appear then It will Turn Off then Vibrates then goes back to 1st Samsung Logo it keeps repeating. Also i try Recovery Mode but i can't enter to it my phone will repeat the same process as i Turn On my phone. I can go to Download Mode, And i flash Stock Rom and after flashing Stock Rom there's a blue text in upper left Recovery Booting... but its not booting into recovery, It will just turn off again then vibrates then goes to 1st Samsung Logo.
If anyone experiencing the situation right now you can comment​
Same issue here. My phone is stuck at RECOVERY BOOTING. Is there anyone who can fix this issue? Thanks.
Boot to download mode (Vol down & Home & Power)
Flash stock ROM from sammobile .com with ODIN
Instructions under the download on their site
Go into download mode and do a firmware upgrade and initialisation through kies3. You will need your serial number and model number( on the white sticker behind the battery. in kies3 go tools> firmware upgrade and initialisation, then follow the on screen steps. I used this when I soft bricked my note 2 when I had it, I personally find it's the best way to restore a samsung device.
You should try first with kies3, it did help me to recover from custom ROM installation.
If it fails, flash stock with Odin3 from phone download mode is your last option.
I'm having the exact same issue! Been trying to flash the stockfirmware, but still stuck in recovery booting loop! Even trying to get into recovery mode has it looping. Kiess 3 says that my serial number is invalid, so matter which number I put in too. Hoping for some help!

Mine is the SM-G900W8 with Telus, so if we have the same model, I could probably give you my serial number cause I never had issues with mine. I know I have read places that sometime when people get stuck in recovery like that, they do a factory wipe and cache wipe in the stock recovery to get it to boot.
This same thing is happening with my s5 Verizon.. Need help to fix this i've tried flashing via odin, factory reseting..nothing worked
Can anybody help me please....thanks

Bootloop and firmware upgrade encountering problem I9505

Hi,
My galaxy S4 decided to poop itself yesterday. I was browsing my emails and the phone restarted by itself. . but then it kept restarting over and over again (Boot loop). The phone felt hot, so i took the battery out and left the phone for a while.
Once i put the battery back in, the phone kept boot looping. I managed to get it into safe mode and make sure all my photos were safe – I've just returned from a holiday in Hawaii, so this was very important to me.
After i was able to make sure photos were backed up on the computer, i cleared the cache partition and even did a hard reset. The phone kept boot looping. My phone now gets stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT I9505" start up page. I read about issues with the power button, so even atempted to open the phone up and wiggle the power button around a bit by squeezing it with some tweezers. This made no difference. I've even swapped batteries and tried charging it.. this also doesn't work. Currently my phone has the "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505".
I have been on whirlpool forums and it was suggested that i reinstall the firmware through odin.. i did, but with great difficulty and many attempts. My phone was able to boot up and i was able to send one message and make one phone call before it went into bootloop again or just switches off and doesn't want to be switched back on again. When the phone was on, no sound was apparent when a phone call/text message came through for testing. I've retried dowloading the software on odin, but when i try to switch my phone on it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again".
I've also tried putting the phone on the charger and no sound or green battery coloured animation comes up on the screen now.
Please somebody help
It was the latest stock firmware from sammobile.com that was flashed to the phone? Was the phone factory reset from stock recovery before booting the phone after fllashing with Odin?
As far as I know it was the latest unbranded firmware from sammobile.com.
A factory reset was one of the first things I did after starting the phone up in safe mode and trying to recover files.
The phone has never previously been tampered with. I've only ever upgraded the software through WiFi or Samsung kies. Using Odin was a learning experience for me.
Maybe the factory reset needs to be done from the recovery screen rather than from the ROM settings?
The factory reset was originally performed from the recovery screen. I can no longer get into recovery mode though. It only seems the phone wants to get into download mode
Have you tried flashing a ROM designed for a particular carrier in your country?
This is going to sound silly.. But I thought that's what I was doing when I went through Odin and got the firmware from sammobile.com
Which version of Odin and firmware was flashed?
What errors occurred during the flash process according to the Odin log?
Tried flashing with a pit file?

S4 GT-I9515 Black Edition XSG stuck on logo screen

I have Samsung S4 GT-I9515 LTE Black Edition bought in UAE. I had official Android Lollipop updated through air.
Few days ago my phone switched off automatically and when i tried to switch back on it was stuck on Samsung S4 Logo screen. I tried getting in into Android System Recovery by press VolUp+Home+Power but i see the same logo screen with Recovery Booting.... message on the top right corner of the phone, it does not go any further than that.
I am just able to start the download mode in my phone. So i tried flashing it with the stock rom of ver. 4.4.2 which i downloaded from sammobile I9515XXU1ANL1_I9515YJV1AOB1_XSG. After many failed attempts i was finally flash the rom successfully but the problem was not solved.
If i start the mobile in recovery mode it gets off after been stuck on recovery booting screen. if i connect the charger while keeping the mobile off it keeps on vibrating every one second. if i try simple power start it is stuck on the logo screen forever.
Please help me to start my phone i am new to learning flashing phone so please tell me if i am doing anything wrong. Thanks.

You do not need to flash 4.2.2 as the boot loader has now changed. Find lollipop 5.0.1 for the phone you have on Sammobile and flash that instead. Make sure it is for UAE black addition.
