Help my gt-i9505 stocked on samsung logo.. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i will tell all the information here..i have my samsung gt-i9505 carrier locked to globe telecom here in the philippines..
i tried to factory unlock here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683 but i have no luck on it..i have change my baseband several time via odin but still i pin request always shows after i reboot..i have android version 4.2.2, stock firmware DXUBMF8.
so i stopped from there..i moved on to try to root my s4,before having this phone i had owned a s4 factory unlock and i have had rooted it but i already forgot how to do it again..so started anew by looking again at forum threads,i have tried omega custom rom but if i goes to recovery mode my screen only shows the following options: reboot system now, apply update from ADB, apply update from external storage, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, apply update cache..my question here was,is this the default recovery mode of s4 now?because i can still recall that my last s4's default recovery menu shows with advance option with wipe dalvik cache etc..and my recovery menu now shows no apply update from internal storage..when i tried flashing the custom rom save on my sd card: apply update>omega*something*.zip..it all well done but after rebooting my phone didn't any stuff from that custom rom nor rooted at all..can you help me solving this?
and lastly this is my main problem now,i searched again the thread and went down to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824 i downloaded the pre-rooted rom XXUBMF8..flashed it with odin PDA..passed and from then my phone was stocked every time i reboot to samsung logo..
i have tried to flash again on a stocked rom. odin>PHONE>(the stock rom)>start>passed then reboot it still stocked to samsung logo..
sorry this was too long to read but i have to tell what all i have been done resulting to this..can someone help me..i will be very thanful for your help..

The recovery your talking about is cwm not default s4 recovery you'll find that recovery here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281367
After its installed try wiping data then cache then going into advanced and wiping dalvik cache
S4 Info

did you try from the stock rom to go to recovery many and wipe to factory default again...
Have you tried to install a recovery like Philz and see if you can access the file system of your GS4.
You'll also find more wiping option
Edit: oh great some1 posted before me.
also try to do it from your official rom

In the Thread you point out... read AGAIN about PIT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Download the PIT and follow the exact procedure... it's not like flashing a new firmware so read which boxes you check
Try the PIT file with / without the firmware
check also this thread... in case you have a pit related error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283919
I'm sure you have all you need to recover your phone.
When you will have recovered your phone, update this thread saying you solved your problem.
check also this thread... in case you have a pit related error.
OH, don't forget to update my thanks counter

Hello,
I saw an answer to this problem in another thread. You have to swipe the phone by starting it with VOLUME UP + HOME + POWER, and then whatever options you have to swipe everything.

Problem SOLVED!!!
hey guys i have solved my greatest problem since i started rooting back on my N7100,my 1st s4 and now my new s4..
thank you for all who helped me,after more than 24hours of reading and waiting for you replies and doing some intervention on my s4,i have recover it..i will post here how i did it for reference for others who might encounter this problem same as mine:
first of all i have noticed this just after successfully revived my phone, you have to WIPE THE DATA/FACTORY REFORMAT via recovery mode before and after doing any firmware update,then i just removed my battery may be a minute and put it back again every time i do flashing..
i used odin version 1.85 not version 3.04..i first chose the pit file and flash it.(when i tried flashing the pit and stock rom together it always ended up to fail)..so i decided to chose to flash the pit file only using odin v1.85(it automatically ticked the "repartition option on this odin version" then it passed..after that as i have said remove battery,wipe data,then i removed again the battery,then put it back and do download/odin mode on my phone,then i flashed stock rom from www.sammoble.com, i searched for globe carrier since my phone was locked on that carrier, then after 2-3minutes(be patient and don't do anything while waiting) my phone backed to life!!!

Samsung S7710 Xcover2 - device memory lost (0.00B) !

Hi!
I have big problem with my Xcover2
I have uploaded accidentally recovery from another model Galaxy S3 mini (i8190) from here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390334956548391158 after reboot i saw stock recovery, i reboot device. System start normally, but after this operation I was no longer able to enter recovery mode Only download mode works.
So I have uploaded the original ROM using ODIN3 v3.07, firmware i got from here: http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-S7710 but i still can`t get in recovery mode using keys Vol-up + Home + Power, phone reboot after that keys So i can`t wipe data.
A few times I've used the ODIN and Kies trying to fix the phone. Flashing was done without any problems, there were no errors. But the phone reboot just after boot screen with the name of 'Samsung' and the phone model - bootloop :/
And then in the ODIN uploading another ROM again ticked the option "Nand Erase All" - after was done, there was no bootscreen at boot, on the display instead of startup screen was blank screen like this for 3sec
and after that was startup animation, system start normally I setup language, date etc, but then i discover that device memory was lost 0.00B
can`t receive SMS because there is no memory space :/
When the phone restarts then I have to set up all the settings again
When connecting the phone into the computer I see something like this:
Download mode works fine :
How can I fix the device memory ? (( Any suggestions, ideas? Every time I reboot device I can see blankscreen for ~3sec, and when phone boot I have to set up phone language and other settings again.
Sorry for my English

Does anyone have the rom and pit file? It would be very much appreciated.
Thank you
Fixed
Turns out I didn't need the full ROM after all. I was able to flash CWM and then mount and format /data. I'm not sure why this worked when a complete reset didn't but I'm thankful it did.

First thing - can you get back into Download mode?
If so take out battery and leave things for a while. Then when you put battery back in, hold down the DL mode keys and enter DL. Then connect phone to computer and in Odin, flash your Stock v5
You could also DL the Odin-flashable version of CWM or TWRP and flash that before you restart. (untick the Reboot option in Odin BEFORE you flash the firmware)

What phone do you have?
Do you know which region it is from?
I think that firmware is Austria and some of the Asian phones seem to have different partitions.
Also have you tried re-downloading the file - sometimes zips get corrupted.

[Q] -CM- What to update to

Hi guys, I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 from Canada, specifically Rogers. The phone is currently on the CM11 Nightly ROM. (I can check specifically which nightly, my phone is just backing up at the moment so I can't see!)
I have this problem, which is, when the phone automatically locks or I myself lock it, the radio signal completely drops. Sometimes the signal will come back, but to get it back for sure is to turn the phone on airplane mode then off again. It is annoying because when the phone is locked for a while, it will receive signal at some point. During that time I'll get a call and it'll ring but once the screen turns on the signal will drop, also dropping the call. I have a slight understanding that it could be a problem with the phone's radio firmware?
Now that you guys have an understanding about my problem, this is what I am hoping to accomplish. I want to update the phones ROM, as it is probably old, along with the proper fix to the phone's radio firmware. How do i go about doing this? The kind of ROM that I want is something in between stable version and nightly (not nightly as I think nightly was the one that caused my radio problem), I think that's SNAPSHOT M12? Please correct me if I am wrong. I would rather not lose any of my data but if I have to then I will but please do guide me because I am scared to lose any of my data.
Thank you guys for reading my long post, I hope my English and grammar is fine! I look forward to hearing from you guys!
The current version of Cyanogenmod is 12.1 (Android 5.1.1). The two release channels for 12.1 are nightlies and snapshots. As of yet there has been no CM12.1 snapshot I'm aware of, meaning all CM12.1 ROMs are nightlies.
You haven't said what version of the stock ROM you had before moving to CM11, but if the radio is too old, you'll want to update it. You'll need Odin and either the modem file, or a complete ROM, which you can download from here. If you choose to install the stock ROM, be aware that you will have to root your device again, using CF-Autoroot. Flashing the stock ROM or modem won't wipe your data unless you tell Odin to partition the S4, so you don't want to do that. What you do want to do before you attempt to do anything is make a nandroid backup as well as move any important files off the internal storage. While you won't need to wipe the S4 prior to installing the new stock ROM or the modem, you will need to do so when installing the new version of Cyanogenmod.
P. S. In the future, you want to direct your questions to the AT&T Galaxy S4 forums as this is the International S4 forum, which doesn't cover North American S4 devices. Your question however is general enough that we should still be able to help you.
Thanks for the reply!

I don't know how to answer this, It's been quite a long time since I moved to CM11. Basically what I did was, when I bought the phone I went home and installed CM11 on it, haha.

I am quite confused, sorry. What I'm doing right now is I'm downloading the newest radio firmware from the link you have given me. After that I'm going to follow the instructions of:
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.10.6
Extract Odin ZIP file
Open Odin v.3.10.6
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
That will fix my radio problems?
Now to update my ROM. This is where I am mostly confused. In your opinion, should I stick with CM11 Nightly? Can I somehow go from nightly to a more stable version like cm11 snapshot m12? Should I update to CM12? Will my phone keep up with the CM12 ROM?

Sorry I will keep that in mind! Mind you, I carefully chose this and looked at all my other options. I didn't see the AT&T forum to fit because AT&T is in the United States and my carrier is in Canada, I just didn't want to have problems with anything else
Guys, I think i screwed up.... So when i downloaded that firmware from Sammobile. I flashed it with ODIN and made sure re-partition was not checked. Everything looked fine and when my phone rebooted (its still rebooting at the moment) the welcome screen was the default "samsung" splash screen, not the Cyanogen Mod . I thought this method was only going to flash the phone's modem, not the ROM too
EDIT:
No....my worst nightmare came true .........NO!!!!
So my phone finished rebooting and its just a black screen. All I can see is the status bar at the top right that displays the WiFi signal and the Phone's network signal and the battery. Okay so I figured something out. When the phone is locked and I press the Home button, Battery Doctor's charging wallscreen shows up, meaning my device wasn't wiped ? When I tried to unlock from Battery Doctor's charging screen, it would just show the black screen with just the status bar .... PLEASE HELP ME !!!
It flashes a complete ROM, which is part of the reason I mentioned making a backup. Now you'll need to root your S4 again, as I mentioned, install a custom recovery, and then you can install Cyanogenmod (12.1 recommended). By flashing the complete ROM it also ensures you have a clean slate from which to move forward. Now all the firmware pieces "match" and you avoid any odd effects by having a mismatched bootloader and baseband.

D'awww Well I guess a clean slate isn't so bad. I backed up my text messsages and my photo's should be backed up onto the google drive anyways. I don't know if you saw my edited post but the UI is not loading. Its just showing the status bar at the top right (signal, wifi signal, battery).
Thanks.
If you're going to install CM12.1 I wouldn't worry about Touchwiz not starting. Just go ahead and prep the phone for Cyanogenmod, as the most important parts - baseband and bootloader - are apparently working properly.
EDIT: ROM installs don't wipe data when done through Odin unless you tell Odin to partition the device. Thus you'd need a factory reset to ensure Touchwiz works. But where you're going to put Cyanogenmod on, don't worry about Touchwiz.

The problem is, I can't. There's nothing there on the phone. Its just a black screen. Unless, thats what you meant.
I tried searching for a CM 12.1 Canadian version and I found this thread. http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/104233-jfltesgh-i337m/
apparently theres no canadian version of the CM 12.1
what should I do ?
Use the Optimized CM12.1 here in I9505 Original Android Development. It's supposed to work with all Qualcomm S4s except the Value Edition S4.
Oh, and you don't need CF-Autoroot. Simply install the recovery using Odin, then install Cyanogenmod. Wipe data and cache, then reboot. Everything should be back to normal about ten minutes after rebooting, as the ART compiler compiles the apps.

Thanks for the replies! I'm sorry if im asking for too much but could you please confirm that this is the right one? link
So, I don't need to root? how can i verify that my phone is still rooted? If my phone is still rooted, I download Canadian Galaxy S4 SGH-i337M (Bell, Rogers, Telus) – CWM Recovery v6.0.4.4
Then flash that with Odin ?
edit: I think I know why this failed miserably....On Odin V3.10.6 I clicked "AP" for some reason, when I was flashing the firmware. Could that be the problem? If so, is there a fix ? i can't access my phones SD card .
Right link, but Clockworkmod is not a good choice for a recovery to flash through Odin. Use TWRP instead as Clockworkmod is no longer updated.
Cyanogenmod is pre-rooted, though until you open the developer options in settings you can't access it. That's why you don't need to root beforehand. There is no harm however if you choose to root anyway before installing.
Clicking Odin like that shouldn't do anything. But where you've encountered problems, read the instructions here to wipe the storage. Then install the stock ROM again through Odin to see if that resolves the problem.
i just installed cm-12.1-20150625-NIGHTLY-jfltexx on my s4 with cm-12.1-20150623-NIGHTLY-jfltexx but there is a problem with the phone functions. It can't make any call. .it do not find my sim card!! Same thing with cm-12.1-20150624-NIGHTLY . The last one that works is 20150623 . Is there anyone that can confirm my problem?

I am following this:
Code:
TWRP Recovery v2.8.7.0 is suggested for installation
First time or clean install:
Download the ROM from the link above
Download GApps package for Lollipop 5.1
Put the zip files on your SDCard
Reboot in Recovery
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Optional: convert to F2FS
Select "Install zip from SDCard"
Choose ROM's zip file
Choose GApps zip file
Reboot system
Unfortunately, I am stuck though. I can't put the zip files in my phone because my phone is semi-bricked. I can't access my SD card. I don't have another device that I could plug my SD card into, and I don't have an SD card reader either!
edit: sorry im really like uneasy right now and im thinking that I don't want to lose all my data, so i'm exploring a bit. I booted up CWM because I had a backup made from there. I saw the backup, but when I tried to restore it, it said "MD5 Mismatch" is there ANY way I could get that backup of mine to restore? I would have a peace of mind and then we can restart this process from there.

I assume your model is i337M. Check it in download mode. If that's the case, then follow this.
1. Flash this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/sgh-i337m-canadian-stock-official-t3082758
2. Flash TWRP
3. Flash the rom you want.
That's all. You are making it to difficult.

So step 1 and 2 flash that with Odin? Do I wipe or no? If i decide not to wipe, will i still have my old stuff from my phone back?
I am confused with step 3. How do I flash the ROM? Using ODIN? Or TWRP? If its through TWRP, how do I get the ROM in my SD card?

Flashing CM is easy. It doesn't require root access because this phone has no bootloader lock. Download a custom recovery with TAR file format, install drivers, go to the download mode of your phone, connect your phone to your computer, and use Odin to flash the recovery. Then copy CM zip file to a SD card and flash it in recovery. That's all!?
For recovery I recommend TWRP: teamw.in
If you've installed Kies you should have drivers on your computer. Otherwise install Kies or only drivers if you can find them on Samsung official website.

Use a different usb port / different usb cable.
Thanks for all the help guys I really do appreciate it and I can't thank you all enough. I have the stock rom working at the moment. I have TWRP installed and I put the ROM and GAPPS into my SD card. I booted into TWRP recovery and clicked on install then i chose the ROM zip but, it fails. This is the error attached picture.

Try redownloading the .zip file. Maybe it's corrupt.
So after trying to install the ROM in TWRP and failing. I couldn't load up the phone anymore, it got stuck at the Samsung Logo screen. I am now re-flashing I337MVLUGOC4 - 5.0.1 Lollipop.
edit:
So at the moment, my phone is working fine on stock rom. I redownloaded the CM-12.1 optimized. I moved it into my SD card. I need to know if there are certain steps I need to do to get this right. These are the steps I took the first time.
Rebooted into TWRP recovery mode, then clicked install then I navigated to the CM-12.1 ROM zip and swiped to install.
Was I supposed to wipe anything? The only time I wiped(the default wipe in twrp) was after I installed the 5.0.1 Lollipop firmware. By the way, i noticed that my phone's internal memory is almost full, it only has 2GB of 9.69GB left in the internal. I checked it out and all my old files were still there!

Reflashing stock rom

I have a Samsung galaxy J5 (2016, SM-J510FN/DS) whose OS I carelessly deleted (while not having a backup nonetheless ) while fixing a boot loop issue. I managed to reinstall Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) from opengapps.org (Arm architecture, 6.0 Android, Full version). The install was successful (I used TWRP to reinstall from my SD card) but I am now stuck on the boot loop. The phone either stays stuck on the Samsung logo or boots into recovery. I have wiped the Davik cache and performed a factory reset with success but I am still getting stuck on this boot loop. I have reinstalled the OS a few times but it #1 fails on zip verification and #2 repeats the boot loop after zip verification is turned off. I have a feeling that this is probably the root of my problem, however, my tool box of solutions is spent. I respectfully ask for assistance from more knowledgeable individuals and offer my thanks in advance.

1) Boot in TWRP.
2) Wipe /system, /data, /cache & /dalvik-cache.
3) Power off the phone.
4) Reflash stock ROM with Odin.

Do just like he said, Wiping is not totally required just make sure you perform factory data reset from stock recovery.

unfortunatly, I've tried this multiple times and still cannot get it out of the boot loop. I'm not booting back into recovery but rather to the Samsung logo now.

I've done this as well with no success.
And if you are not waiting for the necessary time you need to load the system? .. since after installing the stock you have to leave this in the samsung logo about 10 to 20 minutes at least
One thing to note is that you should be flashing AP, BL, CP, and CSC, and not the HOME package only (not sure if your variant has it in the first place!). Also, ensure that the "NAND Erase All" option is ticked before performing the flash.
thank you, I have not tried ticking nand flash before but I will try it.

Are you sure you have got the correct files for your device? Usually, when it errors out at aboot.mbn it is because the files are for another device/variant. What's your device model? I will try downloading for you the stock files and see whether it is successful.
P.S. Just saw that you noted your device model in the OP. Sorry about that! Give me a moment and I will get the files for you!

Can't turn on my phone, can't open twrp, Odin fail Galaxy s8

Hello everyone,
I'm following this forum for mounths but just had chance to register.
I tried to root my phone, then I think something went wrong. Turned on the phone and used for a while, but had a fingerprint sensor error. After that I reboot the phone, but while showing the Samsung logo, I got "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" top of the screen. And phone was automaticly turning off after that.
Then I put the phone download mode and tried to install official firmware. Odin was failed.
I tried to flash bootloader only, and fail neither.

I thought maybe the stock rom that I trying to install is older. But now I can't open the TWRP with the buttons for the wipe data. The Samsung Galaxy logo views, after that it turns off.
Trying to install twrp again, Odin gives me fail too. Now I can only open the download mode.
I need my phone today urgently for contact with my colleagues.
Please ask me for the missing informations and please help me ASAP.. Sorry for my bad and complicated English..
Try to flash an earlier Version of the bootloader maybe QF7.
I found the flashable odin archive at https://mega.nz/#!5Q4TATzQ!DT2OQO01KHfw7HsVNElZSfZ4DHoO9W99k3dJqfumMhg for s8 and at https://mega.nz/#!dMZ0zbDL!oYrcBh8DeOqMFeO9QObu8eNXVrjsajXICJ0o3MJPJ-o for s8+.
I also find a video for this issue at https://youtu.be/VTi3uBkpJic
Try this and reply back..
- ————————————
Or just try to flash the stock rom without the cm.bin/ bl firm.

Thank you for helping but I tried these solutions allready. Now downloading another country's official rom from sammobile. I'm going to try this one but I have no hope
Good luck!!??
My solution did work. Download the latest firmware and install it with Odin. Thanks everyone anyway..
