Stuck at Boot.img via ODIN update

Hi, I am trying to install the XXUAME2 pre-rooted ROM as I have that version but it is now stuck at boot.img for the last 10 minutes and has not changed. Anyone know why this is happening? What shall I do?
OK So I cancelled the update and it rebooted fine. Anyone know why I can update via ODIN? I tried the CF-Root method and the same thing happens. It gets stick at boot.img.

GalaxyS4 I9505 not charging

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

Slow charging on CM12

Hi guys. I am using Cm12 on my d802 and the phone is charging very slowly. I checked with many apps and it charges with 310ma only. I have original LG charger and with stock kitkat i never had any charging issue, it was very fast. What can I do? Thanks in advance!

Try a different usb cable.

Why should I try? It was ok with stock 4.4

You're right, trying is the first step towards failure.

How to root official/stock 5.0.1 i9505 without pc

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.

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.
