[Q] Please Help. Phone stuck on samsung logo - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey. My phone got bricked due to an unknown reason while using the Omega custom rom. I am able to access recovery and download mode. After flashing stock firmware for my region, the phone gets stuck on bootscreen. I've tried wiping data and cache and everything and also using pit file. It says pass but gets stuck on bootscreen. If I try to install any other custom rom also the same problem occurs. If I try installing CM I get a black screen. I can't take it to the service centre as my warranty is void. Please help.:crying::crying:

have u done factory reset in recovery ?

I don't have the phone with me now so can't do that . It's a friend's. He said he's going to give it to the service Centre and he's really pissed with me. I hope they don't discover the voided warranty. It also says it can't mount efs in recovery

[Q] i bricked my phone?

this is the situation...
i want to change ROM from clean ROM to aosp ROM. I've disabled the vodoo before the change. Then i'm going to CWM.. flash like usual, then it works.
Because after changing ROM my app from previous ROM is still there, then i had strange idea...from CWM i wipe factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, then i make a partition SDcard. 512 and 0mb of swap.
I just realized that i use the update.zip from the sdcard, i can't go back to CWM. I take the sdcard out and fill it with update.zip for CWM work, but i can't.. the sdcard didnt detect. I change sdcard the the phone cant detect.
So now im in progress to use the ODIN in here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782204
Is that bricked? can i hav my phone back with ODIN restore?
*sory for my bad english
You'll be fine with a factory reset. I've probably done that 15 times by now.

If you can't access recovery and do a factory reset you need to send your phone in for repair and let them restore it for you.

Stuck in a bootloop

I am having bootloop problem with my galaxy note n7000
I had stock LP8 version of ICS before. I rooted it using cf-root cwm v5.5. I took a nandroid backup of my rom. And then used triangle away app to remove the triangle. It went to special boot mode and resetted my counter.
I tried formatting my phone from clockwork recovery but failed to do so as it seemed to stuck there for long. I switched it on and restarted it went into bootloop showing galaxy note again and again.
I went ahead and flashed LP8 rom via odin. It didnt seemed to help as it was stuck again in bootloop. Tried factory wipe from stock recovery and cache wipe. Still no respite.
I thought rom was buggy and went ahead and flashed gb KK1 rom via odin. But still it didnt helped and i am stuck in the bootloop.
Please help me. Also it shows custom count as 'no' and binary as
'Samsung official'. Does it means I can claim warranty?
Sorry for the long post, but it was my first post and wanted to put all details. Please help me.

pretty sure cf-root v5.6 has the possible fix , 5.5 doesnt , so you have more than likely bricked your phone ( did you read any of the warnings before you started flashing...there are several of them) what is the situation with your phone now , whats showing on the screen? can you go into download mode , also there is an app for checking your emmc condition see if it passes that first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709054
Flash stock Gingerbread firmware then factory reset from recovery
DO NOT perform factory reset on stock ICS kernel or CF-Root 5.5
----
If it is not yet superbricked phone won't stuck at flashing firmware.
My phone is still able to go into stock recovery and downloading mode. And flashing via odin, it completes normally and reboots. But then bootloops. About you suggesting emmc phase check, will search abou it. Thanks for advice.

I think i made that mistake before. I was on ICS kernel and cwm 5.5. And i did a factory reset. I never thought it would be a problem. Should have researched more. But please help me. Is there a workaround for this?
And flashing via odin completes normally.

If flashing succeeds, then do not worry.
As I said flash stock gingerbread rom then factory reset from recovery.
And use only safe kernels on ICS.
Safe kernels:
CF-Root 5.6 Safe but do not use it to flash roms
Franco kernel R3 and above
SpeedMod kernel
Goku kernel
NoteCore Kernel
DAFUQ kernel

I did flash my regional stock kernel xxkk1 via odin and did factory reset too from stock recovery. But still bootloops. Do i have to flash any of the kernel above seperately? The question might seem stupid, but tell me if i got it right.. 1. Flash stock kernel 2. Factory reset 3. Flash one of the above said kernels

Flash stock gingerbread rom with pc odin.
If it succeeds, boot into recovery (volume up + home key + power button)
then select factory reset.
then reboot.

The kernels I mentioned in the previous post are ICS kernels. Do not use those on gingernread.

I am sorry. I really do not know what is wrong.
It does not sound like superbrick though.
Wait till experts help you with this problem, good luck.
I read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633943
and have realized that i have bricked my phone.
Because i attempted a factory wipe on unsafe official kernel and recovery cwm 5.5.
It corrupted a drive and is hardbricked.
However is there any workaround? My recovery and downloading mode both are working.
Again summarizing
1. on official kernel rooted with cf-5.5
2. Attempted factory wipe from recovery - stuck and restarting stuck in bootloop
3. Flashed the official ics kernel again - no boot up, went to recovery wiped, still stuck at logo
4. Flashed an old gb official kernel, still stuck at logo.
Is there anything i can do? Or my SGN is as good as dead?

There are threads on getting it working again with the use of pit files and partitioning etc but you may end up with hardly any storage left and might still not be usable.either take it in to Samsung service center or send it in and tell them you had an ota update and it never rebooted or say you did a factory reset as your phone was acting up..Don't tell them any thing about rooting or roms... it was on stock .you get me! They will change your mobo for free then mate

Yes, thanks for the tip mate.
I was planning to do the same and that too today. Also the counter says no and binary as samsung official on the downloading mode. This means they can never know if it was rooted? Am i correct? Just this last question. Thanks for your replies. They were helpful..

No yellow triangle, counter is zero, custom binary says NO, can't boot up => there's no way to check if it was rooted.

I've done something similar to my note, despite flashing stock gb etc through odin (which goes through with no errors etc..) i'm still stuck at the galaxy note startup screen. If i try an ICS stock rom it'll go a little further to the samsung startup logo/jingle and then sits there.
is there nothing that can be done at this point?
my binary count is 4 now so i'm guessing i will have to pay samsung to get it resolved if it is indeed bricked, does anyone know who much this is likely to cost?
also, is there a way of determining for sure if my phone is bricked/caught he emmc bug?.
thanks all in advance, i spent hours and hours trying to get my phone back so i'm pretty deperate now.

that what happen to my note as well .... i did not read carefully and preform the full wipe and superbrick my note and use the same excuse saying OTA update to 4.0 and after it reboot i got my phone brick
samsung refuse to give me warranty on it as in my recovery screen i have a something like a "phone . . yellow exclamation . . monitor" and stated firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recover mode in kies & try again "
You had a binary counter and the custom firmware yellow triangle it seems :-(. That explains it, it is an indicator that you flashed unofficial firmware to your phone and voided the warranty

Ur note is pretty much hosed. U had the exact same issue that i had. But samsung replaced my motherboard for free as counter was zero. Now they can replace the mobo.. and the associted cost with it.
Are u sure it is hardbricked, have u tried jtag usb jig to recover it back? It may not work..but worth a try

Did you do full factory reset + format /system before installing the rom? If not, maybe try that. But be careful, because all your data in /system will be gone if you format it, such as music, pics etc. So back those up on your computer before formatting /system.
