[Q] Omega v20.1 - Stuck at boot - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to install Omega v20.1 (coming from v13) on my galaxy S4 I9505
These are the steps i followed:
1. Backuped phone (nadroid backup + titanium)
2. Flashed the new bootloder and modems with odin v1.85 -> I9505XXUFNA1_Bootloader_Modems.tar (PDA slot)
No auto reboot, waited 3 minutes after odin was done before reboot
3. Booted to Recovery (TWRP newest version) and flashed Omega v20.1 and then restarted phone.
The spinning logo apperas at boot and stays spinning for 15+ minutes (stuck at boot)
Any ideas on what went wrong? And how to make it work? According to all threads I've read this is a school book example on how to do it.
Plz, anyone? (nand restore and v13 is back with a 0x1 know but that was expected)

then try this way mate
Wipe current ROM
Installed STOCK LEAKED NA1 (made sure wifi etc was working after flash)
Installed/flashed latest TWRP
Flashed Omega 20.x with full wipe
Set up phone etc (again making sure wifi and everything else was OK
Optional = And for good measure then performed a no-wipe install!

I'll give it a try, thanks.
Will reply in thread and let you (and anyone else interested) know

1. Full wipe
2. Install I9505XXUFNA1_I9505OXAFNA1_I9505XXUFNA1_OXA.zip via TWRP
3, Error flashing zip '/external_sd/I9505XXUFNA1...........
Fail
Will try a re-download tomorrow

Hehe funny mate You need to Extract the file and I9505XXUFNA1_I9505OXAFNA1_I9505XXUFNA1_OXA.zip, Then you get a file called I9505XXUFNA1_I9505OXAFNA1_I9505XXUFNA1_HOME_OXA..tar.md 5 and flash it with odin by selecting PDA/AP , then follow the tutorial on top , Or follow this
Remember Flashing this or Omega will void your warranty.
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
- Download Odin3 v3.09
- Extract Odin .ZIP file
- Open Odin3 v3.09
- Restart phone in download mode (Press and hold Home + Power + Volume down buttons)
- Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
- Add - Add I9505XXUFNA1_I9505OXAFNA1_I9505XXUFNA1_HOME.tar.md 5 to AP
- Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
- Click start button, sit back and wait a few minutes.
- If you encounter any issues with the firmware (Any FC, Bootloop etc)
- Boot into recovery mode (Home+power+vol up)
- Choose to wipe/factory reset. (THIS WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA INCLUDING YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD!)
- Then choose reboot and you should be good to go!
Next step after your done flashing Stock
Again via odin pc flash the latest recovery TWRP or philz recovery Im not really sure about TWRP if they have .tar to flash ....
Wipe cache, dalvik cache data and system (Clean wipe!)
From recovery flash Omega 20.x with full wipe
Set up phone etc (again making sure wifi and everything else was OK)
Optional = And for good measure then performed a no-wipe install! Done!

LoL
That made me feel silly, thanks for straightening me up. Will try the right way

did you do it via CWM app? i've had a softbrick as well while using that
try enter recovery via Vol Up + Home + Power button ....
after that try install once again the zip file
as of for me, fixed my softbrick just now by flashing back my nandroid 2.3.6 backup
What was the result of PC odin flash? Did it get stuck at factoryfs.img?

I believe you did not do a factory wipe after your GB from PC Odin boots, right?
Because the GB flash via PC Odin only put the necessary files into your phone, the residue data from your previous Rom is still in it, upon boot, your system read theses data and do not understand some residue instructions, therefore you are stuck.
Just do a full wipe and cache as well... try it and let me know if I am right?

after flashing stock GB after reboot stuck.. then go thru CWM to wipe data successfully wipe and complete.. but after i reboot the system.. im still stuck on logo.. im tryin to think if flashing cf root via odin then flash abyss4.2 kernel then flash an ROM LPY based.. do you think it will work?
After flashing the STOCK GB (very imp)
Get into the stock recovery by pressing vol up+ home+ power button and do a factory reset, you are good to go.
Edit: Do not flash Abyss yet, you would get a yellow triangle.
Also first boot takes sometime, how long are you waiting before trying again. Just do a factory reset on stock GB rom, power off, remove the battery and wait for sometime. Put the battery and boot again! It may take some time but it should boot.

30 minutes is like too long. Just try one more time and see or flash a different ROM, a wipe one, preferably?
If the PC Odin is flashing it successfully, then you do not have to fear, all is well

POSSIBLE FIX FOR PHONES THAT ARE STUCK AT BOOTLOGO AFTER LQ5/LPM + Wipe

THIS GUIDE IS INTENDED ONLY FOR THE 16GB GALAXY S2 I9100 (but a similar procedure can be applied to some other samsung devices)
BIG THANKS TO USER HG42, ALL CREDITS GO TO HIM AS HE IS THE ONE THAT MADE THIS POSSIBLE. THE ORIGINAL GALAXY NOTE THREAD IS HERE
THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL WORK, IT DID FOR ME AND A FEW OTHERS BUT YOUR PROBLEM COULD BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE
AFTER FLASHING THE PIT FILE, YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATLY FLASH A SAMSUNG ROM OR A KERNEL VIA ODIN, ESPECIALLY IF YOU STILL HAVE THE LQ5 KERNEL INSTALLED, IN ANY CASE, DON'T TRY TO WIPE DATA AFTER THE PIT FILE FLASH, FLASH A ROM OR A KERNEL BEFORE DOING ANY WIPE
As you must know by now, some users experienced hard bricks after flashing the leaked LQ5 firmware and doing a factory reset or a data wipe, some others, like me, can still access Odin or recovery but no matter what we try we can't get the phone to actually fully boot.
SYMPTOMS:
-You can go into download mode and maybe in recovery
-When you try to wipe data in recovery the phone gets stuck and reboots eventually
-Flashing a firmware through odin doesn't do any good even when the flash was a success
-During the Flash through odin it may get stuck at data.img or fastoryfs depending on the firmware you're trying to flash
If your symptoms aren't the same as those, i would advise not trying this procedure
THE REASON FOR THE "BRICK"
It seems that during the factory reset or data wipe you made after flashing LQ5, the data partition got badly corrupted somehow, and because of that, neither CWM nor Odin can write or format this faulty data partition. This is why you can't boot into any rom.
What you need to do if you're in the same situtation i was into (make sure of it) is to flash a modified pit file which is gonna create a new data partition on your internal sdcard, leaving the faulty one aside, and thus getting a brand new data partition which is gonna make your phone work again, but at the cost of having a smaller internal SD. Other than that, your phone should work exactly as it did.
WARNING / BACKUP
By doing so, you're also repartitionning the internal sdcard, which will result in the loss of everything you have on it, to backup the content of your internal sdcard, you must follow the steps described in THIS THREAD which is the thread started by the man that found the solution to this problem. The thread is a galaxy note thread, but the backup procedure is the same.
Once you have backed up what you wanted to backup, and made sure you read everything carefully, you can proceed to the flashing of the modified pit file.
AFTER FLASHING THE PIT FILE, YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATLY FLASH A SAMSUNG ROM OR A KERNEL VIA ODIN, ESPECIALLY IF YOU STILL HAVE THE LQ5 KERNEL INSTALLED, IN ANY CASE, DON'T TRY TO WIPE DATA AFTER THE PIT FILE FLASH, FLASH A ROM OR A KERNEL BEFORE DOING ANY WIPE
The zip containing the modified PIT files can be found in THIS THREAD at the end of the first post.
STEP BY STEP
-Put your phone into Download Mode
-Flash the modified pit using odin, NOTHING ELSE
-After pit flash, the phone will try to reboot, and will get stuck. Remove the battery
-Go into Download Mode.
-Flash a clean, unmodified, samsung firmware (like KI4) WITHOUT PUTTING ANY PIT FILE
-Reboot in stock recovery, do a factory reset
-Reboot phone
-Format internal sdcard
-You should be good to go
ALTERNATIVE WAY (NOT RECOMMENDED)
-Put your phone into Download Mode
-Flash the modified pit using odin, NOTHING ELSE
-After pit flash, the phone will try to reboot, and will get stuck. Remove the battery
-Go into Download Mode.
-Flash a custom kernel with Odin.
-Then Boot into recovery and install a rom from a zip which must be on your external SD
I hope this works for you as well as it did for me. Good luck, and congratulations to hg42 for finding a way to get our devices working again
edit: OP entirely changed his post since my response, rendering it incorrect.
Worked for me too
Tried everything was beginning to give up tried this and my phone works again thanks alot
Glad it worked for you mate.
Next time we'll think twice before flashing a leaked firmware.

Heeyyy!!!! Bro, i found an alternative for us. It worked for me so with you will work to!!!
Im from argentina and my english is not good. So, sorry for that.
Ok, do this:
1/ Download resurrection remix v2.5.3
2/ Flash siyha v3.3.2
3/ Enter to the recovery
4/ Go to "dual-boot options
5/ Select "install zip to second rom from external sd. Automatically siyah will create a second data partition.
6/ select the rom from the external sd and install it. Then restart and enter in recovery again
7/ go to "dual boot options / wipe second rom dalvik-cache.
8/ go to dual boot options / fix second rom permissions
9/ go to dual boot options / wipe second rom data cache
10/ reboot and you will see during boot the next reading: press home o volume button to enter to second rom.... so, press the home buttom and the phone will revive!!!!!!
I must say that every time the phone starts you have to choose to enter the second rom. This solution sucks, but at least your phone will work.
good luck

Have you tried flashing a samsung rom? Are you still on LQ5 kernel?
If this still fails after trying to flash a samsung rom using odin, i think you should indeed flash the original PIT, which will make things back the way they were before, even if it didn't work then
when i use Odin to install original rom , it stuck on data.img
and when I use recovery to wipe factory or cache , it stuck on formatting data
(( I used pit stock and i9100_u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4-patched-standard ))

arf man, you should have stick to the step by steps and just that. There is still little hope though, send a PM to hg42 explaining that you flashed his modified galaxy s2 pit file but that you did the same mistake again (that i did too, but only once) , which was to wipe data using LQ5 kernel. Basically i think you now have two ****ty data partitions, back to square one.
He might be able to build a new Pit specially for you to flash in which yet another data partition will be created, next to the one you just screwed.
I modified my post to make it even clearer that you shouldn't wipe data while using LQ5 kernel.
Good luck man
is this guide only for people who can access to download mode?
my phone not response to any thing
what the solution for me?
Unfortunately some people were lucky enough to only soft brick their phones when other hard bricked them.
No solution for the hard bricked ones for now.

You are my S2 saver! Thank you! Thank you!
Since Thursday, when i lost my S2 because of LQ5, i have been trying to find any possible solution through ODIN, but the same result: S2 stacked on logo screen.
Today i decided to send my S2 to Samsung, but the last minute i saw your thread.
I had nothing to loose so i decide to give it another try and I GOT MY PHONE BACK!
After formatting internal card i got back 9,54 Gb. I remember that i had 11Gb free before LQ5 but right now its not major problem.
Once more
Thank you!!!!!

Problem to Install Creed's Rom 3.5

hii, I am a user of Galaxy Y S5360 also a new comer member of this site, guys please help me. Well now tell you myphone was in good condition. last night I installed creed's rom 3.5,(before installing it I had Ultimate Sonic Rom). as usual I did every steps properly but while the logo is caming after rebooting the phone (Samsung Galaxy Y) its stuck, I waited for 5 hrs but still same.. So I removed the battery and turn the phone again and do the steps again but no effect still the same its stuck.. Guys please help me out from this situation? Can any one tell me why it happening? though I did properly. . . . Thanks for your listening.
why it stuck after rebooting, while other Rom works properly? Or Can I never installed creed's rom 3.5 in my phone? please help.
one of my friend was told me about some process that CWM recovery and some Nandroid backup, (but as I dont did before), So I dont understand, dont get that point exactly.
Can you please show me a way, What should I do now?
have you tried reverting to stock with odin and then flashing again?
i've this sort of problem when flashing to other ROMs whenever the ROM i was on had a non-stock kernel
in any case hope this will help you
People often dont follow the exact steps to install a ROM and get stuck on splash screen. This applies for ALL ROMs.Follow this exactly. If that doesnt work, let me know
1) Boot to Stock recovery mode by holding power+Home+volume Up
2) Wipe Data(factory reset)+cache
3) Click Install from sd card
4) Select the CWM by madteam or by skin 1980
5) In CWM, again wipe data+cache
6) Select Install from sd card and select creeds rom (any ROM its the same procedure)
7) Reboot after the process completes
8) Wait 4-5 mins max if the ROM get booted up, if it boots up ignore all the steps below, your installation is complete (since some ROMs need the next steps and some dont need).
9) Else, Go to stock recovery mode again (dont worry, pull the battery and insert, just keep on holding the combo buttons and try till the recovery comes)
10) Wipe Data+Cache ( DONT DO IN CWM only in STOCK and DONT flash anything!)
11) Reboot and wait if the ROM loads up.
If it still gets stuck on splash logo, you need to flash back to stock and try again. Refer this post for how to do that. Download the latest firmware of your region and follow the steps given in post 2 :

3) Click Install from sd card
4) Select the CWM by madteam or by skin 1980
5) In CWM, again wipe data+cache
6) Select Install from sd card and select creeds rom (any ROM its the same procedure)
7) Reboot after the process completes
8) Wait 4-5 mins max if the ROM get booted up, if it boots up ignore all the steps below, your installation is complete (since some ROMs need the next steps and some dont need).
9) Else, Go to stock recovery mode again (dont worry, pull the battery and insert, just keep on holding the combo buttons and try till the recovery comes)
10) Wipe Data+Cache ( DONT DO IN CWM only in STOCK and DONT flash anything!)
11) Reboot and wait if the ROM loads up.
If it still gets stuck on splash logo, you need to flash back to stock and try again. Refer this post for how to do that. Download the latest firmware of your region and follow the steps given in post 2 :

it happened with me also. i just flashed sgy via odin. some rom may get softbrick while flashing..
Creed's 3.5 would mostly work if flashed from stock rom. my suggestion should be to start from stock rom using odin and the flash creed's 3.5 since creeds is using a different kernel that does not support flashing from some custom roms

-------------------------
yes he is right & i totally agree with him
Flash a Stock rom first using Odin ( use a stock rom of your region & correct model)
& then use recovery to install Creed's 3.5
because some custom kernels do not allow other kernels to be installed over them
so this results in boot loop (soft brick)

pls pls help!!
yesterday i installed creedv3.5 rom on my samsung galaxy y before that i was using stock rom. Now when i plug in my earphones nothing happens, my phone is not detecting my earlids please help.....
Creed 3.5 does not have their own kernel, so one can easilly swap from any rom(Stock R custom) without ODIN flash..
The only thing you have to do is Do Wipe Cache And also wipe dalvik cache in CWM
Thats enough..

[Q] Booting Problem

Hey Guys,
i have a problem with flashing custom recovery on my I9505(jfltexx).
When i flash "DBT-I9505XXUBMEA-20130601103235" via Odin and in addition the "CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505" my phone boots up, most of the time but not all the time. Now when i try to flash custom Recovery via Odin, my phone stucks at the Samsung Galaxy Logo and it wont continue. Even if i enter the standard recovery from Goomanager and i select "reboot system now" it stucks on the Logo!
Any Help?
Thanks in Advance

Yeah but thats the problem. I can't enter the recovery mode and when i try to flash a PRE-rooted rom from djembey my device stuck at the BootLogo.
In a nutshell: There is no option performing a wipe!

Ok now i get it as per what i see i can still get your device back to normal but myte take multiple try rest assured it will work
1st flash a stock firmware again (not rooted pure stock) this time using pit file along with firmware
and while flashing the firmware using odin and pit do check re-partition also
Note with out pit file do not check the re-partition box
and once the flashing is done device should boot if its not booting
go to stock recovery like how i told u earlier and do factory reset and wipe cache
and reboot
and tell me the status.. all the best

So let me get this clear. In Odin i should check the stock Rom in PIT instead of PDA? And check the Re-Partion box?

Re- partition should be check follow the image and flash
If Re-Partition is checked u must have pit file also do not forget that else u myte brick ur device

Based on what you said, it seem like you still have all the partitions intact. Just that they are empty right now.
Did you do a full backup before all this problem happen? Or did you do a custom backup?
Are your backups stored in external memory and is a full backup? If so, try using custom recovery to restore your backup?

Chill. Your phone is definitely not bricked. I encountered your problem before when i was experimenting with something.
- Right now, boot to whatever recovery that you have. Try to wipe cache, dalvik, and any other partition if possible.
- After that, boot to download mode and try to flash STOCK rom using odin. Check that flash was success.
- Try to boot your phone and report here on what happens.
Edit: You might want to consider restarting your computer and changing usb port. "Faulty" Usb port will affect the flashing part.

Behave your speech smart guy, they are trying to help!
general rule on how to fix a bootloop:
1- Wipe data and cache. If not,
2- Restore a nandroid backup if available. If not,
3- Flash stock firmware, If not,
4- Flash stock firmware with pit file (you can try pit file alone).

[Q] i9505 bricked, can't turn on after Hard-Reset.

Two days ago , I had to reset my device to factory mode; for that, I used the recovery mode (Hard-Reset) the device turned on properly, I used it without problems until the time I had to connect to the charger i turned off the device, when I tried to turn it on again (with battery 100%), appeared the logo of Samsung and freezed the device, i leaved it alone at least one hour, maybe two... it's a brick.
I tried:
-Hard-Reset again
-Install another ROM using download mode
-Install Stock ROM using download mode
-Change of recovery and Hard-Reset again
-Change of recovery + ROM and Hard-Reset again
-Throw it from the seventh floor window (well no)
Extra info:
I HAVE ACCESS TO RECOVERY AND DOWNLOAD MODE
ROM: I9505VJUHOC1_I9505UUBHOC1_CHO (Oficial ROM for Chile, 5.0.1)
Recovery: STOCK (Came with the ROM)
A friend said to me i need to totally reset my phone, bootloader, recovery, ... basically, he said i need to flash ALL the images again, but that would need all the original files, ¿no?.
P.S. Im estupid, please teach me how.
P.P.S. Sorry bad english.

1. Flash TWRP recovery via ODIN.
2. Boot in TWRP and Wipe all (Wipe - Advanced Wipe - and select System + Data + Cache + Dalvik cache - Swipe to Wipe).
3. Reboot in DOWNLOAD MODE and flash via ODIN again the stock ROM like in the pic attached.

Thanks, but ... WI-FI it's now dont working, tried at least 3 official roms and 1 non-official to fix it.
Flash the ROM again to fix the WiFi. Sometimes it takes multiple flashes before everything works.
