hi guys
running cognition v1.1, this morning i had configured my work's exchange email and the phone decided to freeze no matter what i tried, it wouldn't even shut down, so i took the battery out and put it back in, since then the phone won't boot, it is stuck on the black GALAXY S II screen and won't go further... i have tried taking the battery on and off a few times that didn't help either.
1 weird thing is that the second i put the battery back it starts itself automatically without me even pressing the power button, isn't that weird?
not even able to go into recovery mode...
please help, i have had the phone for less than week.
Try to get into recovery mode... You need to reflash...
did a full wipe through CWM - reinstalled rom, same thing.
can i safely update firmware using ODING to XXKG2 and go on from there?
KG2 is not a firmware i would update a broken phone to preferring KF3 stock after a full CWM format .

I was running MF9 bootloader and stock rooted rom, with Philz recovery. Phone was working OK except for a weird thing with SMS's not registering on the phone. The phone spontaneously rebooted, but now it will only show the white Samsung logo on the black background before it powers back down. It doesn't make it to the yellow Sprint screen. To get it to restart, I have to pull the battery.
I have been able to get it into download mode by holding power and the down button. I can see the phone with Odin.
Next step? Flash recovery with Odin? Try flashing bootloader with Odin?
Thanks for any advice.
I just got this phone alittle over a month ago. Today at work, my phone randomly shut down and started continuously restarting. The phone will vibrate and boot the logo, then turn into a black screen, vibrate again, and restart. I had not modified my device at all. Just downloaded your typical apps like anyone else. I already tried taking out the battery and letting it sit and booting in recovery mode and wiping the cache and restoring to factory settings. I also tried to use odin to flash what i think is my firmware onto the device. I wasn't able to figure out the firmware of the device before I did it so i sort of guessed based on the model. Though all i did for this is download what i thought was the firmware, put it in odin3.4, entered download mode and plugged my device in and let it download. I didnt do any rooting or enable debugging/disable debugging before i used odin. Did I miss a step? Does anyone have any suggestions of something I else do. I am so confused on how this happened to my phone!
So for a few weeks now, my phone has been having bootloop issues. I've been trying to fix it on my own, but no luck so far.
I can get it into download mode. Up until I tried to restore it to its stock version via the User Tool, I could get it to the factory reset options, which led to the options to wipe cache, reboot, etc. However, none of those options worked. When I attempted to reset to factory settings, I got the "dead" green android with the red triangle. Then the screen goes black and starts bootlooping again.
Once in awhile I can manage to turn it on after having it turned off for hours, or even days and it works like normal, except that if I lock it or turn it off it will end up restarting and starting to bootloop again. Which is bad seeing as it drains somewhat fast due to being overheated while having the screen constantly on.
As for my experience trying to use update recovery, it gets to the downloading part then stops and gives me this message "[011.700.147.062.092]??? ??? ? ? ????". I don't even know if I am using the correct stock rom for my phone, since I only know its MEID and model name.
do u resolved this, i have the same problem
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?
