[Q] i9505 don't start - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Sorry for my english.
i've actually the S4 LTE with I9505XXUAMDF + CF-Autoroot and TWRP 2.5 for recovery
i would like to flash the last Wanamlite and i reboot in recovery wipe the phone and try to flash the zip. the wipe was ok but i don't find the zip file.
lol just see after that the wipe data/factory reset wipe the internal sd card so i reboot the phone and copy again the file on the external sd.
i try too reboot in recovery but it don't work. Maybe cause of the wipe don't know.
so i try to install another recovery, the cwm6
Just after the flash the phone never reboot. Odin succefull but the phone freeze at the Boot sequence ( Samsung Galaxy S4, GT-i9505 )
Ok so i tryed to flash the last I9505XXUAME2_I9505OXXAMDB_NEE
I put it in pda and start again. The flash was succefull but idem, the phone don't start.
I allways have access to the download mode, but not to the recovery. And i don't know why it don't start with the orginal firmware.
if someone have an idea, it will be great.
Thank a lot

Turn the phone off, pull the battery and wait 30 seconds and reinsert the battery and hold the volume up button + menu + power button and do a data factory reset and wipe caches in recovery.

Great, it works again
Why wait 30 seconds? Is it time for capacitors to discharge?

To shut everything down.

In any case, thank you very much

But there is something i don't understand,
When i flash with odin the twrp recovery, i can boot in recovery and boot my phone.
If i install any samsung firmware without custom recovery my phone don't want to boot, but boot again if i flash the twrp recovery
if i flash the cwm6 i can do nothing too.
why my phone work only with the twrp recovery?

Soft bricked my phone, tried stock fw and it's still stuck

I was on a coolboyz GE4.3 rom and flashed faux kernel and the device wouldnt boot even to recovery. I flashed a stock samsung firmware via odin and now it boots all the way to the samsung logo including boot animation but will not boot from there. I think I may have flashed a TW kernel on a 4.3 GE base..
I can't boot to my recovery, should I flash one via odin?
Is there anything I can do?

well a strange issue here may be you can try rooting the device if it goes to download mode and then flash philz recovery and see if it goes to recovery from there you can wipe cache / dalvik and reset the device

[Q] Galaxy Grand Duos Boot Screen Hanging

Hi all
I'm new, so not sure if this is the right place for this post, please bear with me.
I installed CWM-touch_i9082_chotu.tar on my galaxy grand phone wanting to install CM-10.2
.
When I boot to Recovery mode and do "wipe data/ factory reset", all I see is "No" on every row. When I touch the screen, it returns to the Recovery mode screen. I do not know how to uninstall CWM-touch_i9082_chotu.tar.
So I downloaded and installed PhilZ Touch 6, and tried again, but the phone hangs. So, I rebooted the phone and did a factory reset.
Now everything is hanging on the boot screen. If I reboot the phone I see only the boot screen
Please, how do I get my phone working again?
Tanx.

Take the recovery .tar file from here according to your firmware (4.1.2 or 4.2.2) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315529
Then follow this step by step instructions : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46395577&postcount=19
You mainly need the fix-recovery.zip to give your recovery proper permissions after switching from stock. This will have to be done each time you flash a firmware through Odin.
If after flashing you get a bootloop, simply boot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache and you'll be good :good:

try booting your phone in stock recovery with pwr+up volume, then in recovery with the volume keys navigate to wipe data/factory reset and then wipe (or clear) cache, then reboot.

so i tried this it allowed me to get to the Samsung logo and this is where it has gotten
99% of the Odin problems are solved by using a different usb port and/or different usb cable.
Ps Did you use cf-auto root for rooting? That's the only rooting method that works. Because I never heared of cf auto-root causing those problems.

Well, you could try another solution that for others is risky but it's not, if you follow the steps carefully. Flash your correct firmware with odin 3.10 and check f reset time, auto reboot and Nand Erase All and Phone Bootloader Update. When flashing process is finished, the system will reboot to stock recovery and will appear an android repairing, after it it will reboot in Samsung startup but it will not boot, so you must boot to recovery with power+volup, wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache again. Then reboot and wait, it may take up to five or six minutes approx.
i leave attached an odin version that is woking fine.
I hope it helps.
regards
* at last, maybe obvious, check that the firmware is appropiate for your phone e.g. if your firmware is i9505XXXXX and your phone is i9500 or any other it will never boot.

Samsung Note 3 N9005 - ODIN TWRP but still boots into stock recovery

I downloaded odined TWRP to my Samsung Note 3 N9005, but the phone still doesn't boots into custom recovery.It goes to stock recovery. I have attached the TWRP odin log for reference. I have flashed roms and rooted phones earlier, but with Note 3 this is my first attempt.
Flash again but don't check auto reboot. When you see the word reset in the status window, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, wait about 5 seconds, replace battery, boot to recovery using the buttons.

I did that. But it says cannot boot into recovery mode and goes to download mode. So I did it auto reboot checked again and now it's normal, but didn't solve the issue. By reset in the status do you mean I pull off the USB as soon as it says "RES OK!"? and not wait for Completed?
Try a newer version of Odin. Wait for it to complete the flash.
Sure you have the right twrp file?

I tried a cwm recovery instead worked for me. Can now boot into the custom recovery. I installed Dark Lord Room, stuck at Samsung for more than 2 mins. Should I wait or is this a boot loop?
Update: I wiped dalvik cache, cache partition and factory storagr and then tried Phronesis with a Full Wipe in Aroma, still stuck at SAMSUNG Logo for more than 5 mins.

After the wait it worked and booted the Phronesis. So my solution was to odin the CWM.
Best Regards!
I don't recommend cwm as it is hasn't been updated for years.

Did I brick my phone?

Hello
I have sgh i377 from at&t. I would like to change my custom rom from ManuProN5_N5_ASTRA_ROM_Reborn_FIXED to GE-XXUHOD7-53. I
I installed busybox, intall safestrap and nc1 flasher. I run nc1 flasher and reboot phone to safestrap. I wipe data, system, cache and Dalvicache.
Then I go to install and add firmware, module and kernel flash OC4 and GE-XXUHOD7-53.zip. Then i press install. While install modules i saw an error with perrmision.
I tried install again and the same situation. So i reboot the phone and i think it was a mistake, because my phone stack on logo "sasmung custom". I have access to recovery mode. I wondering make wipe data/factory reset but I don't know is t safe? On recovery mode it shows me LRX22C.I337UCUGOC4.
When plug phone to PC it doesn't detect phone. No sound, no device in explorer, but Odin3 v3.12 detect successfully. Do you thnink I can flash it by ALL_ATT_I337UCUFNB1_I337ATTFNB1_505595_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.rar ?
Is it any chance to bring it back to life? Please help and forgive my poor english.

You can flash the stock OC4 ODIN file if there is one. You might can flash NB1 in odin without bricking, but i am not sure. Or you can wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode and then flash the golden eye ROM .zip file from there right after. That should clear up the errors.
Tanks. Flashing by Odin with ALL_ATT_I337UCUFNB1_I337ATTFNB1_505595_REV06_user_ low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar solved the problem.
