[Q] How bricked is my I9505 (part II) - stuck on Samsung logo. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I've been running with SuperDroid on my I9505 and this morning tried to return to stock, as I have done so before (see "Q] How bricked is my I9505?" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258408 from which I recovered).
After flashing I9505XXUAMDF_I9505OXXAMD8_I9505XXUAMDF_HOME.tar.md5 using odin, PDA mode, I'm __still__ stuck on the Samsung logo screen. Eeek. It's not responding to adb of course.
EDIT
For anyone else in the same boat, if you can hit recovery then wipe your cache and data. Fixed it for me. Problem solved.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy 3 stuck at "SAMSUNG" logo

Hello.
After installing NDrive, I rebooted the phone by shutting it down and powering it on.
Now the phone is stuck at the SAMSUNG logo boot-screen.
Before that, I installed root and also flashed it to version I5800XXJPB.
Root and flash worked fine (there was some lag though).
I tried reflashing the same firmware version but it still stucks at SAMSUNG logo
Edit: I forgot to mention I also did a Factory Reset, Wipe Cache but still nothing.
What should I do to get past the samsung logo?
reflash your phone with the firmware of your choice
I ran into same problem reflashed with I5800XXJPF
problem solved

In fact, the real answer is: You should flash a firmware with datafs.rfs on it .

[Q] My i9505 stuck logo" samsung galaxy S4..."

hi, today, My i9505 stuck logo" samsung galaxy S4...".
I tried to start a firmware from the Odin app
When I restart my devices can't start, on display "samsung galaxy s4 GT-i9505"
I tried to do the process from rooting the phone, with odin without any luck.
I cant boot into recovery volume up + home + power. It only comes a red pirate android. And it reboots to the Samsunng logo again?
Is there any hope for me?
Please help

Hi Terje
I had almost the same issue since yesterday with my Gt-i9505, with the only exception that recovery mode was still accessable. But everytime i tried to restore a prevoius backup i was stuck again in the logo screen.
Sadly I can't provide you with a link directly since i don't have enough posts. But try to google "droidview unbrick galaxy S4"
My galaxy is finally working again. It is an easy and well written tutorial, so I hope it will help you too.
Good luck!
you don't have to go to recovery, but into download mode and try to reflash with Odin. One thing to be careful: you need to make sure that Odin recognizes the phone...

[Q] Infinite bootloop on GT-I9505

Hi everybody,
I'm writing here because of a problem I had on my Galaxy S4.
I was calling a friend, and when I Hung up, the screen didn't switch up.
From then, my phone is stuck in an infinite boot loop... First of all, I wiped the cache. No result. Then I did a factory reset, which didn't work. After that, I tried to flash my phone from the SD card (the Omega v19 ROM), which was unsuccessful because the phone didn't escape the boot loop, and via Odin (the original Samsung ROM). After the flash with Odin, My phone starts normally, it lets me set the first settings (Wi-Fi connection, Google/Samsung accounts, etc.) but suddenly freezes and goes back to the recovery mode...
So I'm asking for a solution.
Thanks

S4 stuck in bootloop on stock android

My Galaxy S4 VE (GT-I9515) crashed. (the screen went black) It was not rooted and ran the latest Andoid 5.0.1 ROM.
When I turned it on, it went into a bootloop, randomly crashed during booting, or turned on normally. I removed sd and sim card and tried a different battery. Furthermore I tried to boot into recovery mode and wiped the system data and the cache. It did not help.
Sometimes it was not possible to get into recovery mode because the phone's screen went black and it rebooted.
Then I tried flashing multiple stock ROM files using Odin, but it did not solve the problem.
After that i tried rooting the device and installed a custom recovery (TWRP), but i still got random crashes during booting and sometimes it got stuck showing the samsung boot animation. The only things that work reliably are the Download Mode and the charging animation.
Now, what can I do to fix my phone?
I read a bit about flashing a .pit file but I don't think that will help?
Is this a hardware or a software issue?
How can I find out, what caused the problem?
