Hi
I bought 3 weeks galaxys4 I9505
suddenly before few days the phone charge the phone very slowly. i thought its the charger so i bought new 1 and now the phone is not charging at all.
i replaced battery and its not solve the problem.
factory default will solve the problem?
any other idea?
Thank you Ran
Are you using the official samsung charger and USB lead they supplied? Some micro USB leads can be dodgy. One I borrowed at work wouldn't mount on the PC. If its brand new I'd send it back otherwise

Replaced 3 battery. still same problem
It's looking like it could be a hardware fault. It will need sending back for repair.
If you are using a stock Kernel on your current rom I would look into trying to reset the binary counter using Traingleway. Obviously you will need a charged battery for this. Use a friends phone or something

This will reset the flash counter on the device but I can't confirm if this will pass an engineers inspection. Make sure you read the thread thoroughly
Once reset, use mobile odin to flash an unrooted copy of the official firmware on the device. Using odin will only increase the binary counter again but mobile odin does not.

delete the offical firmware from the internal SD and send the phone back for repair. In it's current state your phone is useless so you may aswell try

I'm running a totally stock Sprint Galaxy S4. I recently updated my firmware and I'm now unable to connect to Odin or use MTP for file transfer. My phone will mount as a camera. I have used various cables to rule that out. I also went to the Samsung website to get the latest usb drivers. I went so far as to wipe my phone too. Does anyone know how to fix this? I would like to root my phone. I have a stock recovery so I'm limited on what I can flash. I also downloaded official firmware but had signature issues. Please help Lord Vader. I must destroy Jedi Scum

I know it's the wrong section but must answer. My S4 refused to connect. I tried x3 cheap-o-usb connect wires (even a HTC wire which I was told was high quality) and as a last result I used my Western Digital Portable Hard Drive cord which is notably much thicker and it connected.

Try uninstalling the Samsung drivers then reinstalling? If Odin doesn't recognize it, it seems to be a driver issue. Or try to connect your phone to a different PC.

My S4 is currently running MF3, i rooted while in MF3 so it was that soft root stuff without the bootloader. i figured it was time for an update to 4.3 so when i went to Unroot the phone it literally just sat at the Samsung Custom Screen. I tried to access the TWRP and restore that way, Nothing happend, i took it to best buy and tried to reflash it that way, their computer couldn't see my phone.
So my last option would be to connect it into Odin correct? Would this work or am i wasting my time?
Try Odin. There is a thread with the correct files.
Also, please do not talk about smashing or purposely damaging your phone for warranty. That is warranty fraud and is not allowed on XDA.

Lol True , sorry bout that. I'll give odin a try, i have the thread...just hoping this really works
It should work. Make sure you have your drivers and your device in DL mode when you connect it to your PC. Also use a back USB port.

Hello guys,
I have encountered i problem after i updated my international note 3 officially.It said there is a new update for my device so i downloaded and updated it then it wouldnt recognize my pin.I took the sim card out then it said there is another OTA available.I downloaded and updated again in hope for a fix but it didnt recognize this time either.I blocked it and tried the PUK1 and PUK2 codes neither them both worked.Im using it now without my sim card.Its not rooted btw.
Thank you have a good day!
Only thing I can think off is boot to recovery and factory reset, see if it fixes it.
If not then you'd probably need to flash stock via ODIN.
However you need to note that reactivation lock must be off -- do you remember/know if it is off or on?

Its off sir under the Security settings.
You can re flash your stock rom via ODIN, have a read around and make sure you are 100% confident in doing so, then when your phone boots back up, you should be able to enter your puk code to unlock your sim.
I cannot stress enough the importance of reading as much as your brain can take in so that you are absolutely confident in what re flashing etc entails.
Good luck and keep the thread posted on your progress

Did you try a full factory reset and downgrading to the latest BTU 4.4? Including the modem and bootloader.

Just flash it in odin, but make sure the phone is off for 30 seconds or so before you do the button combo for download mode, as modems sometimes don't flash if you boot straight into download mode.
Tick bootloader update in odin, obviously a full data wipe from recovery as i doubt it would boot otherwise

So I just take any country's n9005 4.4.4 tar file and flash via odin? The only think new is to just tick on 'bootloader update' ? So basically downgrading to 4.4.4 only requires a tick on bootloader update?

Hello,
I have s4 i9505 5.0.1 . I want to root it because i want to install custom roms or downgrade to kitkat. I have read many artical on rooting from pc but the problem is my pc windows 10/64 bit latest version didn't recognize my phone after i turn on "usb debugging". I have used kingroot & iroot but no result. if anyone knows any other method to root my phone or downgrade to kitkat plz share.
My phone touch is not so responsive,
i installed new battery but didn't give much higher result
& it heats up.
I think this problem is because of 5.0.1 version.
The best way to root is with a PC.
Have you install the Samsung drivers? Without those, the PC won't recognize the phone.
my pc is not even installing samsung driver

I installed the drivers on a Windows 10 64 bit system and they worked.
I don't think there are any "No PC" root methods for Android 5.
Thankfully samsung driver is installed but now the problem gets bigger, my s4 is now completely not recognised by pc.

Can Odin see it? If it can, then it's no problem.
If it can't, then I suggest trying another USB cable and USB port.
Hi thanks for reply but i changed
pc,odin version, usb cable but odin is not recognizing.

If the phone gets really hot when connected to a charger, the motherboard is probably defective. I have an s4 that does the same thing and changing the motherboard solved the problem.

I used to have trouble with my PC recognising the phone. I tried 3 different cables and it would work 1 out of 10 tries if lucky. I eventually tried my PS4 usb cable and it works every single time i connect it now.
Thanks all for comments. I'm now rooted with kingroot apk app. Thread closed.
