Why don't you be a little more honest, what you bought was NOT a clone.
If it was a clone then it would be an identical duplicate of the REAL galaxy S4
and you would have no problem fixing the issues you are having with it.
What you bought was a FAKE galaxy S4 and a FAKE galaxy S4 is not compatible
with any of these custom roms, kernels, custom recoveries and mods found here in
these xda forums and threads.
About the only things which will work in your fake phone are apps and games which can
be found and downloaded at the google playstore and don't expect all of those to work.
Perhaps you can ship the fake phone back to Bangkok and get it repaired
or just buy a new one,
I heard that fake phones from Bangkok and China sell for about $100 bucks which
most likely is less money than it would cost you to have it repaired.
Good luck!

Download a official Rom (google for it)

Best way is to give it to the service center . Seems like you haven't done anything that voids warranty.
Get it fixed from them costs a max of 1000 to 2000 bucks in Rupees
It's almost impossible that a factory reset won't fix it. Or are you rooted?
Are you sure you waited long enough when you booted?

Hello guys,
So today I did a stupid thing with my Note, running Kitkat stock 4.4.2, CMW, N9005 variant and ended up with a bootloop.
The problem is related to the launcher, I'm using TSF shell launcher, for some reason I converted the TSF app to a system app and then uninstalled it, afterwards I restarted the phone and the problem happened. However, TouchWiz is working properly, means I didn't debloat or freeze or did any thing to it.
Now if someone plz could help me restoring TouchWiz to work post boot so the problem will be solved I'll be all grateful.
I'm attaching a screenshot of my device general info in case needed. Thanks in advance.
Update: The problem escalated after I decided to master reset my phone.
What happened again is i gave up to factory resetting my phone, I use Philz Touch 6 CMW based recovery, I headed to the options > Wipe Data/Factory Reset > Yes - Wipe all user data
What happened after this is :
-- Wiping data..
Formatting /data. . .
Formatting /cache. . .
Formatting / sd-ext. . .
E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Data wipe complete
press any key to continue.
--
Then I went back to reboot the phone expecting that it will successfully boot and all the settings will be reset but instead the bootloop only still happening..
PLEASE HELP ME NOW
Help!

Reflash the stock firmware that you are using via ODIN. You have new updates too: HERE.
Okay, so this is a silly and weird question, I have recently rooted my phone, an S4 GT I9505, and due to certain circumstances (buying an S6 on a sudden whim cuz of a great offer) I want to unroot my S4, now, I wanted to back up my data so I am using the Samsung Smart Switch program on my PC, and it says there is an update for my phone, so I was wondering if I do that update, will it unroot my phone? Also are there any risks of losing my data in the process? Thanks for help in advance ^_^

1. You can backup your data only copying internal/external memory to your pc.
2. The best way for unroot your device is booting to your recovery, wipe data/factory reset your device (will delete all your internal data) and wipe cache partition. Boot in DOWNLOAD MODE and flash the new update directly via ODIN.

Can't I just use the unroot function in SuperSU? I have no intention of rerooting this phone.
The unroot function of SuperSU should work fine, rather than going through Odin. The next person who acquires your S4 will likely end up doing what I did and start from scratch anyway.
Hello.
My Galaxy S4 was dying so T-Mobile just replaced it with an S5. It came with:
LMY47X.G900TUVS1FOJ4
I clicked on Software updates in About device and it did whatever updates, but the version stayed the same. Then I went to autoroot [dot] chainfire [dot] eu and downloaded the correct file to root. I unzipped the file and ran Odin 3.10.6 that came with it. I was able to root the device no problem.
What seemed like a problem afterward was that I couldn't find SuperSU in the Application list. I know the phone was rooted though because I could launch Titanium Backup to restore all my stuff from the S4. I went to the Play Store to download SuperSU. It kept complaining that I needed a new binary, but it would fail every time to update. I even tried downloading the latest SuperSU zip to install in the recovery mode, but that failed too. I really wasn't too worried about this.
While looking up how to root the S5, I saw some posts where people mentioned their root access stopped after 24 hours. I just experienced this when I launched Titanium Backup to begin uninstalling bloatware. I was informed that I didn't have root access anymore.
I figured I'd try to reflash the auto-root through Odin. According to Odin, everything passed, but looking at the device, it said it's already patched and the restore failed, so it aborted.
Now the device is stuck in an infinite reboot loop. I can access both the download and recovery modes, but that's it.
I'd really really like to not have to do a factory wipe as it was a pain to get everything copied over from the S4.
Can I flash it with something else?
Once I can get back in the device, how do I keep the device rooted? Do I have to flash TWRP or CWM?
The only root program I use is Titanium Backup and would really really like to keep using it to makr regular backups.
Thanks a lot.
Try booting into recovery and wiping the CACHES
If it still won't boot, grab a stock ROM from sammobile .com for your model S5 (G900T by the looks of the ROM name) and flash it with ODIN from download mode
That won't wipe your data or anything you've restored, as long as you don't reset
If it still won't boot, you might have to suck it up and factory reset after flashing stock
Was the TiBu backup you restored, rooted? Maybe restoring the backup restored an old version of SuperSU and broke the CF AR version
Might need to go down the TWRP and SuperSU from TWRP recovery route to get it rooted properly if CF AR isn't woprking 100%, which it doesn't for a fair few people
I tried clearing the cache, but that didn't work.
Is there a way to download the stock ROM without having to create an account on the download site?
The Titanium Backup I restored was rooted. Everything was totally fine, until I went back to TB and it suddenly told me I wasn't rooted anymore.
I did try TWRP after I made the original post. I think messed up the device, but I can get in now. I flashed the latest version and booted into Recovery Mode. I clicked on Fix Permissions and possibly one other thing. It let booted farther before the infinite bootloop. It'd show my lock screen and give me 1-2 seconds before rebooting. If I swiped quickly, I could see the home screen with most of my icons gone. Clicked on Apps shows most of the apps are gone. When I removed the SIM card, I stopped getting the infinite bootloop. Here are the list of important programs I have left:
Contacts (all cleared out), Gallery (all present), Messages (all present), My Files (shows files from previously installed programs that I can no longer access), Phone (works when I put the SIM card back in), Settings
Unfortunately, TB and the Play Store are both gone. I might be able to install stuff using adb or by copying files over. I haven't tried, but it doesn't look good. I tried reflashing the CF ROM. It didn't change anything. I suspect I may be looking at a factory reset at this point. I'm happy to try any other suggestions.
Thank you.

Wut? lol, just make one, it's free...
XDA does not spoon feed
I created an account and downloaded the stock ROM. I flashed the device and got most of the programs to appear again though the Play Store was still missing. I decided to cut my losses and just do a factory reset. I rooted again and put everything back in place. Now I'm experiencing the problem where I lost root after a day or so of use. I'll start a new thread.
Thanks for your help.

Calm downn dude..
Can you acess TWRP ?
If you can, do this : (you will loose all your data (unrecoverable))
Just go to format section, then change system folder to ex4 or any else, then reformat back to stock.
Flash Magisk and you're done
