Try this mate , boot into recovery do a factory reset/Wipe cache and then reboot and Quickly press and hold power+Voldown in order to boot into downloadmode , Flash the stock rom and once its done... the phone should reboot automatically , and then Hold and press Power+VolumeUP that should boot your phone into recovery mode... Now do a factory reset/wipe cache and reboot your phone.. .Before the initial setup, Just dont do anything to your phone for atleast 4 to 5 minutes, Let it settle and then proceed with the initial setup.

Dear SGS2 users,
I'm experiencing some problems.. The device is getting REALLY slow. When I try to open a picture taken with the SGS2 on the device itself it takes about 1 MINUTE before it shows the picture.. And opening SMS/Contacts also takes time.
I'd like to factory reset my device.. I tried a reset yesterday, but it didn't wipe any files, just sms/contacts. Can someone help me? I'm not rooted
Thans in advance
Boot recovery Wipe and factory reset .

No it won't. But you should really try get a backup of it
But if you are using stock recovery and are unrooted, then you can wipe fine
Old stock ROMs did have an issue where they would not boot properly after a wipe, unless you re-ODIN the stock ROM again.

Put this code in your dialer:
*2767*3855#
This will do a complete rebuild of the device and wipe internal storage. So phone will be like when you first took it out the box! ;-)

Hey All,
I flashed Jamal's Google Edition ROM, but now i wanted to go back to stock touchwiz rom.
So i downloaded official firmware from sammobile and flashed it trough odin.
It succeeded and started to boot
But then every app started crashing and the phone kept telling me this and that ended.
So i Flashed it again, only this time it got stuck on system.img.ext4
it wouldn't go passed it...
So after 10-15mins waiting i just unplugged and tried to flash again, but it keeps getting stuck on system.img.ext4
Any help is much appreciated!!!

You should have done a data factory reset after the first flash bro, that would have solved it. Can you still get into recovery and wipe the caches and do a data factory reset?

Do you have a jig to get into downloadmode? If not, pull the battery and try after a few minutes (5-10) reinserting the battery and you might try again.

did you wipe data and cache after flashing?
no, right after flash with odin, now it is stuck on Samsung screen. Should I goto recovery mode and wipe data and cache? Then see if it boots up ?

Why dont you flash a 4.2.2 from your country then ? Try this first . Remove ur battery for 10 sec and put it back . Then press and hold power+volumeup in order to reach recovery . Then wipe cache/factory reset then reboot. Have a nice day.

I have the same issue but my phone refuses to go into Recovery. I'm attempting to flash stock UK ROM via Odin. I didn't do a full factory wipe beforehand, didn't think I had to but wondering now whether I should have?.......have I bricked my S4? I can get into Download mode if I press Vol Up quickly or it reboots instantly, very strange.
Anyone got any thoughts how I might fix this?
Hello, i'm here for helping my friend. My friend's HH is Galaxy 4, bought at Guang Zhou China. Official Samsung China. After went to Mt.Bromo,may that's too cold, the problems are :
HH suddenly can't booting. Just appear until logo samsung and then suddenly off.
Can't launch stock recovery mode (vol up+home+power)
but CAN launch download mode (vol down+home+power).
HH can't appear status of charging when it's charge but maybe the battery is charging. Maybe.
All are still official. Maybe Android 4.2.2, but can't sure.
Anyone can help me fix this phone? Step by step please help...Thanks all
Please i alredy post on another room, but didnt get help
Hey guys,
I have an S4 that is stuck on the Samsung logo. I have left it for over an hour at a stretch with nothing happening except the phone is smoking hot.
I have booted into Recovery (stock) and wiped the cache and rebooted with the same result.
I am completely stock and unrooted ... any ideas?
I would try a factory reset in recovery

See the Samsung guy at any Best Buy. He has the Samsung Tool and will reflash it for free. You will be back to MK2. Easier than fiddling with various fixes. This happened to my wife's Sgh-i747. Init.d prop build error. Recovery flashing updates didn't work. Odin didn't work. Kies same.

Just re-flash the stock firmware from odin. Use the pda button, check auto-restart and f reset flags only. Use PDA button to browse to the downloaded IMG file. You can get your stock firmware from Samsung-updates.com . just make sure you get the i337m or the i337 (whichever you have, as they are not the same) for your region.

So you say LTE dropped and you did another factory reset? If your APN settings are correct, then this shouldn't be happening unless there's a data block set on your account with your carrier. In this case, I would say something is wrong with the modem on your phone.

Figured out that it was the microSD card that was causing the issue. I used the program App2SD to move programs from my main memory to run them on the SD card. Somehow the files that were moved over corrupted the boot sequence somehow. Total chance that I removed the card to send out for warranty repair and tried to boot it one last time.
Hi,
I've followed that procedure to get back from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51361247
At the end my phone has rebooted and is since then stuck in a bootloop... Would you have any idea how to get out of that sh*t ?
