S4 i9505 stuck at Samsung logo-can't access to recovery boot

Bought an Australian model galaxy S4 off ebay which was stuck at Samsung Logo with a hope I can unbrick it.
I have tried to flash with an official firmware twice. ODIN confirmed flashing Passed. But the phone still could not boot pass Samsung logo with model number.
+ Pressed volume up + Home + power button to enter into recovery mode but the phone still stuck at recovery mode with blue text "recovery booting ". Have tried to take battery out and redo few times. . All I can do is go to download mode to flash official firmware again. However I do not want to mess thing up as I have tried twice without success.
Please help me out if you have any idea how to fix it. I am much appreciate.

I am not sure if it will help or not but you can try flashing TWRP via Odin and then boot into that one (maybe recovery is corrupted as well?)
Clear cache / dalvik cache from TWRP and try booting to system again

Good idea of @th3cr0w.
I will add: It's important know what firmware had before you start to flash things. I supose you don't know it. What you can do is:
1. Flash TWRP recovery in DOWNLOAD MODE via ODIN unticking "Auto reboot". Take out the battery when the process finish. Wait 30 sec. and push it in again.
2. Boot in TWRP and wipe all (Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Select system, data, cache and dalvik cache).
3. Reboot in DOWNLOAD MODE and now yes, flash the firmware you wish via ODIN normally.

Same happens with my Galaxy s3 while ago, Problem was the EMMC chip was corrupted, And the problem was solved after replacing it from a local shop.

Thanks for your and TH3cr0w's suggestion. I will try it tonight and let you guys know. Hope I will fix it. A quick question before I do, once I install TWRP it is anyway I can remove it and reinstall official receovery?
I am using this firmware:
PDA I9505XXUGNH6
CSC I9505XSAGNH1

i have tried to install TWRP with this file twrp-2.8.6.0-jfltexx.tar 9.9M. However my phone still stuck and can not boot into recovery. up the top of screen i have following messages:
Recovery booting...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
Have i done anything wrong? Thanks

What you're seeing is normal, but recovery not installing isn't. I know you don't want to try it again, but flash your stock ROM through Odin. Do it this time with the following changes:
Add a PIT file (easily found on the forum).
Make sure "Re-partition" is selected.
The combination of the PIT file and the re-partition function should wipe the S4's internal storage and partition it properly. If there is no physical damage to the internal storage you should then be able to boot into the device. Otherwise you may have no choice but to have this beast repaired.

Only boots into recovery after TWRP update. Please help.

Hi guys,
I am using Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 with v4.3 (Jelly Bean) and 4.3 bootloader. I have been using TWRP version 2.8.0.2-hlte-4.3 for quite a while.
Decided to update to twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.3 today. I followed the "DD Install method (terminal)" mentioned in http://teamw.in/devices/samsunggalaxynote3internationalqualcomm.html and installed the new version without any problem. Rebooted into recovery, cleared cache and delvik and restarted to go to system.
However it is showing the following message and rebooting into recovery, and not system -
RECOVERY BOOTING...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING...
Set Warranty bit : recovery
Recovery is working fine. I have put lastest TWRP image file in Sd card and flashed again from recovery. I have restored 'boot' from an old backup. But still no go.
My gut feeling is that everything is fine and there is an easy solution to this problem, without factory reset. May be a command line, something similar to the one found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 will do the trick. I tried this very command, didn't help.
Could someone help? Thanks in advance.

In case it helps, this is the command I used to update TWRP -
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
Then rebooted into recovery and cleared delvik and cache.

anyone solve this problem? I have the same issue.
TWRP 2.8.7.0
Once I'm in recovery, rebooting system reboots back into recovery. I can only get back into system by booting into download mode then cancel out of it

How to solve problems after last official update (signal and soft keys) FOR NOOBS

So my soft keys doesnt work after last update, and there is a thread about that but people there know their way around all those softwares and ROMs and all that really good, and this should be thread to help noobs.
So I would really appreciate some good person to write and explain here all steps, with all needed links. I have never installed something on my S4 via Odin, or rooted it, or "flashed" custom or stock ROM (dont know what flash means). Thx very much

Joku1981 said:
I explain how I did it. Step by step:
1. Download and flash this ROM (via TWRP): HERE (follow the steps of the custom ROM thread to flash it correctly).
This ROM will force a new firmware to be flashed to the IC, firmware 0x1c, which works with the newer updates (at least with OJ2 on mine)
2. After you installed this ROM, go to the *#2663# screen and check to make sure it says 0x1c on 'Part's Touch key FW version'. Continue step 3.
3. Boot to recovery and choose (via TWRP): Wipe --> Advanced Wipe --> Dalvik, System, Data, Internal Storage and Cache. Then Swipe.
4. Reboot in DOWNLOAD MODE and flash via ODIN normally the latest Lollipop to your device (OJ2 on mine)
5. Wait the booting. Done. Signal and soft keys working again.

so I flashed TWRP via odin ( I followed instructions found online)
then i started following instructions on thread you gave me link to, I did updated modem and bootloger (2.Update your Modem & Bootloader to the Latest Lollipop Ones vby following this Guide)
then I copied that ROM (albe95) on my phone and shut it down.
next step is boot recovery and with twrp go first to wipe then to install. and this is where I have stuck. there is no install, and there is wipe but it says wipe cache and wipe something else. there is no difference between recovery mode i had before flashing twrp and now when i flashed twrp. the only difference is that now when i go for recovery boot (press power, vol, home) , in the left up corner there is line of blue letters, then underneath line of yellow letters (somethng says Sandroid) and then line of red letters (it says recovery something). before I flashed twrp there was just in upper left corner of the screen small blue letters saying recovery boot.
and then I enter recovery boot mode and it says like this:

Hi,
Looking at that list I would guess that the TWPR didnt flash correctly as that is the stock recovery options.
Try flashing it again via Odin, if it still doesnt work, maybe try rooting the phone with CF Auto root flashed via Odin, then flash TWPR.
cheers

Uncheck auto-reboot in Odin before flashing TWRP.

"no command" after installing TWRP in recovery mode

hey guys! first post but I have been lurking here and there before registering.
Sorry if this is the wrong section to post this in. I am trying to root my note 4 and I installed TWRP using Odin. Now when I go into recovery mode to flash SuperSu, it says "no command" with the android guy laying on the floor. I tried the factory reset option and I installed TWRP again but still same problem. I can still load my phone and use it as usual but now I can't go into recovery mode with TWRP and flash supersu to root it. Anyone know how I can fix this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

No one knows?

What is the model number of your Note 4? When you are at the "no command" screen, try holding the volume up button and then press the power button to take you to recovery. I'd that doesn't work try holding the power button and tapping the volume up button quickly and release all buttons and see if it allows yoj to access recovery. I'd these do not work keep trying different button combinations. I'd you still cannot access the recovery menu you may have to Odin the factory firmware and start over. Let me know what happens.

none of those button combinations work. I will install stock firmware on it again and see if that fixes the recovery.

I had this problem in the past, I think the problem was that when I was installing TWRP via Odin that I had not powered off the phone so it looked like it installed but actually didn't, try taking out the battery and then boot into recovery or download mode whatever it is that is used for Odin and install again

If you cannot get into recovery with any button combination boot to download mode and use Odin to flash all 4 files of the factory firmware. That will give you a fresh start. Let me know how it goes.

Use the VOLUME UP/DOWN BUTTONS to scroll to WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET and let it do its thing. When it's done select REBOOT SYSTEM NOW.
Tell me what that does.

but this will erase all my data from the phone

Yes it will but it is the most likely way out of your bootloop. Before you wipe, connect your device to your PC and boot to recovery. Once your PC recognizes your device internal storage, transfer everything that you can think of.

That looks like TWRP didn't stick when you flashed it using Odin. Try a different version of Odin and flash TWRP.

So idk if you've gotten it fixed, but what worked for me was: I had been turning on the phone after odin did its thing, and that caused the oem recovery to reinstall itself. So instead of letting odin auto boot be ready to push the volume up button to put it into twrp recovery. I had to remove my battery to keep it from booting fully.

We need to try another time flash. Conditions - old Odin 3.06, configured to remove reboot.

In ODIN go to 'options' and uncheck 'auto-reboot', then flash TWRP. When it's done, it won't reboot, just pull the battery for several seconds, reinsert it and boot into TWRP Recovery.
Enjoy!

When I try to flash any thing it gets stuck on boot.img

Note 3 stuck on Samsung logo

Is there a way to copy the data from the internal memory. My phone won't start (out of the blue), it's stuck on the Samsung logo. I tried Safe mode, Wipe cache partition but it didn't help.
I know I should have taken some backups but I didn't. Samsung authorized service didn't help me either.
Phone is not rooted and it's running Samsung ROM.

Search question posted multiple times.But if Samsung failed then its a waste .
Personally I would flash custom recovery and custom rom without wipe .

What I read I need to have USB debugging enabled. I'm not sure whether it is enabled and if not how to proceed.

If you can boot to download mode, flash TWRP custom recovery using odin (pc). After that boot to TWRP and from there you can copy your files to memory card using twrp file manager.

I think I'm able to boot to download mode. I'm little bit worried not to mess anything up (such as delete the internal memory). Is there any step-by-step manual on how to do that? What about that USB debugging?

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494245

Does the installation process wipe internal memory? I don't want to loose photos/videos that I didn't backup.

Flashing twrp should not wipe data.

I succesfully flashed TWRP but note 3 still boots in the "regular" recovery mode. What I read Samsung ROM's replace custom recovery with the stock one. How can I fix it?
Do I need to flash TWRP again?

This worked for me:
Before you flash the recovery, untick the Auto Reboot option in ODIN. Then flash the recovery. After flashing in done, reboot your device directly to recovery mode from download mode by pressing Vol up + Power + Home button together. Now you will see the TWRP recovery is booted in your device. Now you can reboot normally and your TWRP will be installed.
