I soft bricked my at&t s4. I had flashed the golden eye rom and it was working fine. but today i woke up and it was at the black screen with white text saying "samsung galaxy s4". dunno why randomly it happened at night. But does this mean i dont have root? cuz ive never seen this screen since i rooted and flashed roms onto the phone. any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: okay I found the stock rom, but my problem persists, so I'll just state the issue im having and hopefully someone who knows what theyre doing can tell me where I screwed up lol.
So, I had my Sprint S4 on MDC, was rooted with CF auto root, and had TWRP recovery.. I let my little brother play with my new phone, and he saw the lil update notification in the tray, so he updated to MF9 for me... That didnt go as planned.
After the update, my phone rebooted, and went all the way to the sprint logo, and stuck there. for about an hour. My device got reeaaallly hot so i popped the battery out, since power buttons werent responding. Put the battery back in, and same problem. SO, I got the stock rom, and booted it with Odin. It booted to recovery, then rebooted and stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 splash screen. I did the stock rom again, did the same thing. Now im stuck on the samsung splash screen and I have no idea what to do

Go to recovery, do a factory reset, reboot.
Bt I doubt he was able to update you to MF9 since you were in MDC I believe he updated you to MDL.
Edit: here a stock tar of MF9 if you need it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2375523

I'm not sure that will work but it's worth a try. You might have to just use PC Odin and do a full flash then reroot it and get it to where you want it.
Hi everyone,
I'm a noob here but I read the guidelines
You're the only who can save me tonight (it's 3 a.m. here and sry for my bad english).
I rooted my Galaxy S4 (international version - Snap 600 - i9505) and I flashed the latest nightly of cyanogenmod. I started my device and, after 4-5 minutes, the rom started. I felt immediately disappointed, it's a pre-alfa version and I installed it just to try it.
So, I decided to install the Pure Google Rom with Android 4.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341026).
I rebooted my device, but for some reasons (I got a small crash, because I failed, removing my battery during the boot animation), my phone is now stucked at the title screen.
I can see just "Samsung Galaxy S4 - GT_i9505" on an infinite black screen. I'm so sad, I wish to solve this problem...
P.S. I tried to reboot in recovery mode: almost the 70% of the times I tried, it failed entering recovery mode. The only time it entered recovery, I wiped everything, but nothing seems to change.
Please help :\

Usually the international version is i9500 running on Exynos Octa core. Are you sure you loaded the right firmware?
If you have flashed the custom recovery (CWM, Philz, TWRP), you can try to load different firmware (copy to SD card first). Worst case, you can use Odin to flash. Unless it is hardware problem, it is not easy to brick the phone.
Thx

Thank you, I flashed the philz touch version for i9505 and it works flawlessly. I installed the Google Stock Rom and it's working. I'll update tomorrow if I got crashes or black screens.
Thank you so much tingtan
Hi! I just installed foxhound ground zeroes rom to my samsung galaxy s4 i9505 and yeah it got stuck to the bootloader and there's a blinking blue led on the corner. I could go to my old rom but it was foxhound 2.0 and the 4.2.2 would be nice. I didn't wipe all the data because of so many apps and stuff i need. And what about the modem and the other thing that was supposed to flash on odin, what do they do? Any suggestions?
Edit: New thing popped up, i can't go to recovery for an unknown reason.

Hmm, this has happened to me before too.
If you cannot get into recovery, can you get into download mode?
When it happened to me I used Odin to flash the stock firmware to get the phone working again. Hope this helps
Hey guys. I tried to find similar topic but I couldn't.
I'm facing a problem with my Galaxy S4 i9500. Around a mouth ago I flushed kitkat with odin. After that I rooted it. The phone was working properly until couple of days ago. It start freezing and restarting. 2 days ago couldn't start at all. Stuck on SAMSUNG logo. I tried to flash kitkat again , but it failed. I was able to flash CWM recovery 6.0.3.3-i9500 and clean the cache, delvik cache and tried to restore the manufacturer settings. After rebooting, I see Samsung logo. phone restart and stuck on the Samsung logo again.
Hopefully someone can help me out.
Thank you.
Doesn't sound like a software problem. I think you have some hardware failure. I don't think it's your power button though, otherwise you wouldn't be able to stay in download mode for more then a few sec.
That doesn't sound good. What hardware problem might be? The phone has never been dropped and always been in a case.

Did you remove all knox related apps when you rooted?
I recommend..flash stock rom.
After that..flash philz and deknox script..
Then reroot via philz itself..(philz options reroot)

Rooted my phone (Galaxy S5 Android 5.0 Lollipop model number is SM-G900I) a few months ago and went well. Im new to this rooting world so I kinda of messed up. I tried installing a custom using the app Rom Toolbox and once I finished downloading and installing the font, everything stopped working (apps and background apps) so I rebooted. I noticed right off the bat that the samsung logo with the particle burst things went on forever so i assumed it was a bootloop or i got it bricked. Only solutions i tried were wiping the cache and taking out the battery. Sorry if I am an idiot, but any solutions/comments is much appreciated

Hello and thank you for using XDA.
To solve your problem you should flash the stock firmware for S5 using Odin on PC.
For more information and step by step guide go here.
http://itechify.com/2016/05/08/galaxy-s6-stuck-samsung-logo-heres-fix/
That guide is using the S6 as example take the same steps just download the S5 stock ROM instead of S6.
Good luck and thanks to Natalia Schneider for guiding.
