this one in the image, ignore the red writing, what happen is if i select wipe cache or any other option it just freezes
i can access the menu with button combination, once in the menu i can go up and down with vol buttons but once i press home button goes to a android in triangle screen and stays like that. i downloaded the euro bootstrap from market and thats the main cause of everything.
Its Euro Tab Recovery Bootstrap i downloaded from market.
You select an option in CWM by pressing power.
If you still have the phone-pc icon, power off, go into download mode (home-vol down+power) connect the Tab to your PC, open Odin and flash a new firmware.
I had the exact same problem after a bad firmware flash

[Q] gt-19505 stuck in splash screen

Hello to everybody , i am new in this forum so excuse me for any mistakes.
i own a samsung galaxy s4 gt-19505 with an omega rom installed . the phone was running perfect untill today . i tryed to ota-update a mod with odin app (direclty from the phone) and since the phone reboot it stuck on splash screen and dont boot . I tryed to rewrite the omega rom from my pc but odin dont let me . Also when i try to use the recovery mode ( volume up-home button-power key) there are no options for wipe data factory reset etc
any help would be apreciated
thank you
Just curious why you are asking a question about a i9505 device here?
Anyway, are you saying it can NOT get into recovery at all? or you can get into recovery and there is no options.

Are you sure you're not talking about download mode? (vol down + home + power)
Recovery mode is vol up + home + power. Release just the power button when the phone vibrates

yes download is fine
in recovery are not any options
You have 2 options, get into some type of recovery, or ODIN back to stock. and that will require some reading to get that up and running...try here first.
You will need to post in your i9505 forum about this issue where to find original stock image, I looked there, but didn't see anything right off the bat.
god luck sir.

if stuck on bootloop go to recovery and wipe data..
you can use cwm to wipe system and data and root/flash a custom rom
or you can use odin to flash stock rom (see dokys thread at top of dev section for firmware)
my device isnt rooted so i believe i cannot do the cwm method?

no, u can go into recovery without rooting
Steps:
1. Power off ur mobile
2. press volume up + home + power buttons
when u r in recovery the touch screen is disabled so u should use
volume up/down button to scroll up/down
power button to go back
home button to select

Before flashing check in option Auto-reboot and UNtick that checkbox.Start flashing,when it will say Complete disconnect data cable,press Vol- and power button and Home until the display will go dark.At this moment move your finger from Vol- to Vol+ with pressed Home and Power.After that you will see your custom recovery.This should be done only once.
