Can you send me the exact
Sorry to bug u .............can send u me the exact i am confused

I tried below but my phone is struck at intital logo Samsung galaxy S4 screen its not turning on.
Install and run Chainfire's TRIANGLE AWAY (I9505 ONLY, I9500 is NOT SUPPORTED YET)
NOTE: There is an option "System modified workaround", please tick this and restart your phone. Device Status should be back to OFFICIAL!! Use it with caution!!
Next few steps are ONLY for people who couldn't reset it with Triangle Away...
1. Reboot into Download Mode and check if Binary & System are OFFICIAL.
2. Only if the BINARY Status is still Custom, download and extract OFFICIAL STATUS MOD(.tar.md5): GT-I9500 or GT-I9505 - open in Odin as PDA (password: djembey2013)
3. In some cases FACTORY DATA RESET (Phone Settings=>Accounts=>Backup & reset =>Factory Data Reset) is required to reset Device Status.

You probably just need to do a factory reset. If the Odin flash was successful, simply boot into recovery (volume up+home+power) delete user data. reboot.

not working
still struck on samething no progress after logo

need serious help
my phone is not working need urgent help

Why do you start messing with your phone when you have no idea what you are doing? Thats just dumb.
What are you doing with Triangle Away? Do you have any idea what it does?
Stop messing with your phone before you make it worse! Just chill and start reading the forums!
Tell us STEP BY STEP, what you did with your phone. Stop saying help my phone doesn't work. That's USELESS information! We need details.

Omega Pro had helped me
I tried to install Google android 4.3 (nexus) on my phone i was successful but i didnt like that as it disable all the samsung features(palm,autostay) i tried to remove that but i messed something here i tried reset in TWRP after that my phone didnt start it was struck on samsung logo.
I tried to install google 4.3 again and it worked i had installed Omega rom its working fine but i do see my phone is slow i am still thinking of going back to actual android 4.2.2 version if u can help that would be great.
Thanks all for ur help.

Download Samsung Kies,
Go to tools and click firmware upgrade and initialization
If you have 9505 type in Model: GT-I9505 If you have 9500 type in Model: GT-9500
Now it will ask your S/N Number. If you cannot boot to android then pull out the battery and there must be S/N Number (NOT Battery S/N)
If you can boot to android, then go to Settings, touch more then scroll down find and touch about device, then touch status, scroll down and see the serial number
type it in Kies
Then follow instruction from kies
you must boot to download mode first (you can do this with: turn off the device then press Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button and then if you release it and press volume up to continue it)

not working
When i tried got error saying GT-I9505 does not support intializing

Kies won't work because you have a custom rom installed.
Why dont you just flash a custom rom in the recovery?
1. Do a factory reset in recovery. Wipe system/data/cache.
2. Flash a custom rom.
3. Boot.
It's as simple as that.
Or do you want to flash a stock rom? If so, make sure you flash a knox disabled stock rom.

I'm sure you can get it running with odin. Download Odin ver 3.07. Download the stock mh6 firmware from sammobile.com. it's a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that file in odin, PDA slot. Only have auto-reboot checked in Odin.

In order for me to help u ....i need to know from which part that u don't understand.....as per XDA rules u need to READ before posting ....... STOCK phone is always recomended ......let's start with the easier way:
1. Put update.zip in your Sd Card
2. Reboot phone to recovery by power off your phone. Use combo Button ( VolUp+Home key+Power button) hold them together and when u feel vibration let go power button while still holding VolUP and Home key .....and then u would see samsung galaxy S4 black splash screen and small tiny reboot recovery..... on top left and u can let go both Vol Up and Home key......that's should bring u to android stock recovery.
3. choose apply or install update zip from external sd card......wait...... and reboot system when is done or it might reboot automatic.....Woollaa.....now u have 4.3 android MK2 firmware
But IF doesn't work u need do these following in order for u to do
Code:
[B][COLOR="Red"]adb sideload update.zip[/COLOR][/B]
4. U need Samsung USB driver install to your PC ......Install SAMSUNG KIES and plug your phone.....it will install latest driver for your phone
5. Make sure u unable USB debugging mode on ur phone.....go to menu>settings>more> it should be on top of about device ( Developer options ) but if u dont have it go to about device and click build number 4/5 time....so that will unable developer optins and CHECK USB DEBUGGING.
6. Make sure u have latest ADB ( Android Debugging Bridge ) version 1.0.31.... ANDROID SDK
Well u might already knew all these step.......and hopefully this wil get u start it if u dont...... please PM me if u need anymore help.....

Well For Verizon is different firmware ( I545VRUAxxx ) and ATT firmware ( I337UCUAxxx ) If i were u i just keep 4.2.2 ....root it,install custom recovery....and since u still on 4.2.2 is alot easier to install custom 4.3 base rom or even GPE 4.4.2 KitKat,AOKP, AOSP,CM ....but with 4.3 MK2 bootloader are locked so tight your only hope is Safestrap recovery for now but very limited to install custom 4.3 TW rom maybe 2 or 3 would boot up.People are dying to have older firmware so they able to do what ever they want to their phone. The reason they update is because ATT and VRZ want to lock the bootloader so we are not able to flash custom rom beside OTA ...u can always go to SAMSUNG FIRMWARE UPGRADE to check if there is update.zip files or u can always go to Verizon Galaxy S4 FORUM

Hello,
Can you please help ? i have a hard brick S5 Verizon. can you pm me ?
Thanks

similar situation?
I can get into recovery and download on my sm-g900v going into recovery it says insalling system update then no command. I have wipe data/factory reset or wipe cache partition as far as wipes go. I got here by removing a bunch of KNOX stuff, then I got stuck on the boot screen and cant get any further. Been trying mixes of stuff on Odin to no avail.
"android system recovery <3e> KTU8P.G900VVRU1ANI2"
Really could use some advice.
Thanks all.
I may be stealing my self a new phone lol.

Okay thanks

The method never worked for me, I found out if your computer does not recognize your phone via USB before you attempt this method it will never work, my phone would not come up at all when connected to my USB port. I ended up contacting Verizon and sent my phone back, told them it died on new update, it's been 2 weeks haven't heard from them.

How did you brick your phone? I know it sounds weird but I'm looking to really mess up the bootloader on mine without simply triggering kies and having it lock up my phone. I figure if I can brick the phone then use an insecure debrick image I may be able to flash an unlocked bootloader to it without having to use JTAG and everything.

Same as the galaxy s3 LTE variants, and so long as this works then there is hope to unlock the bootloader. I'm so excited this works here! :fingers-crossed::good:

here is screenshots. when i try to boot to recovery or download mode appears android man with red sign (last image) and when i try to open any app even file manager screen becomes dark (8th image) and i have to remove battery. any ideas?

If your phone doesn't have knox then it's very precious!
Try the JIG (no other way) then flash a non-knox 4.2.2 / MGA 4.2.2 firmware :angel:

Sounds like the rom is corrupt or not present, you would need to kies or odin back to 4.4.4 and reapply.
If you cant do anything BUT download mode, you gotta get odin and go to sammobile download your phones official rom and apply it. After this you can attemp the OTA update again.
PLEASE READ THE GUIDE CAREFULLY as this procedure is risky if done wrong or on a bad usb connection.
Lollipop uses a new system it's not a normal update.

Don't use Kies , use Odin.
Kies can easily break your phone.
Just use Google for ROM searching and install them over Odin.

Good to hear it's fixed, Kies is a "supported" program so when it screws up you usually can get it fixed for free. Odin is not (even though it works better)
