Dead Galaxy S4 i9500? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Folks,
I've a S4 i9500 which simply died... I live in Brazil, I've travelled 14 days and left it powered off at home. The day I got back, I've turned it on, answered messages, etc, turned off the screen, put it away. The other day, when I woke up, nothing...
I've took it to Samsung here in Brazil, but as it was bought somewhere else (I think Panamá, the box was in spanish) they said it can't be fixed in Brazil eek:).
I'm trying everything I can, all ideas would be welcome.
I've tried to restore it using firwmare + pit on ODIN 3.09 with windows XP 32 but nothing. it gets like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
so, any ideas since samsung won't help me?

This is a very simple and stupid thing to tell you but have you tried charging the phone?

Yes, it's fully charged. A colleague here has another i9500 and he already charged and used my battery for a while to test it...

<ID:0/006> There is no PIT partition

Forgot to say, it doens't do anything by combining keys (Up+Home+Down or Down+Home+Down)... When i press power, after a while, it blinks that Samsung i9500 screen for less than a second and reboots. And goes like that until gets out of battery. I can only enter download mode by using a JIG....

[Restore to Defaults] ODIN for AT&T i537 (good for a soft brick!)

How to restore to factory MF1 (Warning this is a pre-release version with no way to update MF3 yet. There is no noticiable differences in MF1 to MF3 but you can't get OTA updates. Once a way is found I will update this post)
Thanks to designgears for posting the ODIN, and the anonymous user that provided designgears with it.
1. Download the ODIN flash from here (this is the pre-release MF1 firmware)
2. Extract using the password from the website above
3. Put your device in download mode by rebooting while holding volume down
4. Run ODIN and enjoy

Hello. Can help you with that.
This is the stock recovery for the active i9295.
You can flash it with odin.
http://db.tt/krkethQk
After flashing the recovery reboot to it.
Wipe /data factory reset.. From there.
If the problem persists. Than your second option would be to search a stock rom for your active @ sammobile. Can send you the link for the Dutch FW. But for others you need to search them yourself.

Just want to clarify:
No AT&T S4 Active users should attempt this.
ODIN will most likely tell you to screw off but flashing this on the AT&T version(SGH-I537) will cause the recovery partition to fail a signature check.
There seems to be confusion in this forum because the international and AT&T version are merged into one forum. This is okay to flash on the international ones.

I'm confused... The title says for i537 at&t but you say above its not for this version?
Well before I raid this I tried the oneclick an at last step it failed.
I have tried searching everywhere for the single tar file needed for Odin v3.07 an no luck after hrs of searching. I did actually find it in a few forums but was greyed out an replaced saying "this is all u need" well my PC internet connected runs off hotspot an a few minutes ago I used up all my 2.5gb of data for hot spot. So Anyways I'm lost an just bought the s4 active used, hated the tw an wanted Google experience ROM an I ****ed up by doing a factory swipe an can only get into android recovery or Odin on my phone. I did a back up but its not loading it.
Help just spent $250. on this junk box

You cannot install custom ROMs on the i537 because the bootloader is locked. You need to be in download mode in order to flash anything with Odin, and if you're looking for i537 firmware, go into the General section and read the i537 Firmware Thread. It sounds like you need to do some more research before you completely brick your phone. Everything you need to know is in this forum, you just need to search.

I have been in download mode with Odin one click, tried 3 times an re-read the instructions many times. I will probably just pay someone to fix this for me can't spend much more time on this. (Single father losing his mind)

You're going to have to start from the beginning and tell us what you're trying to do, what firmware you're currently on, and the steps you tried that failed.

Fixed an lies or Odin couldn't do it, had to go to Best buy an a Samsung rep used "smart" program an that did it. I tried all steps covered in different forums. O'well.
I'm trying to salvage my I537 after botching a noob attempt at getting lollipop onto it...
So now I can't boot recovery mode, only download mode. Download mode is the only thing my phone can do (besides the warning if you try to boot normally, saying that you have unauthorized software, go to AT&T store blah blah blah).
As far as I can tell, the method outlined in this thread is my only option, correct? I've followed the steps, and I don't think the Odin oneclick is working properly for me. Once I click "start" the process takes less than 5 seconds and says "all threads completed", and 1 success/0 failures, however my phone does not reset or anything. Just stays at download mode screen (with the blue bar full). I waited a long while just to be sure (nothing happened of course) so I unplugged my phone and restarted it manually. No change from before.
Here is the entire log shown by odin oneclick when it's done:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> Completed..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
Any idea why I'm not having any success? Did I just screw up my phone bad enough to have an eternal soft brick? Thanks!

You can't use the file in the OP. You have to use this file: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952608110
Download to PC and extract using 7zip or WinRAR. Then you have to flash all 4 extracted tar.md5 files simultaneously with Odin

Thank you, this worked like a charm. I'm not sure how I missed this; I searched through the main thread on the i537. I am new to this though.
The OP is highly misleading, and even the following comments don't make this clear.
So since I'm on NE3 now, I'm not stuck the same way people were stuck with MF1, correct? I can get up to lollipop (the right way), if I decide to do so, correct?
Thanks again!

If you want to be on lollipop rooted, follow the guide in the following thread, just skip the parts about "download" mode (that was actually meant for another device) it's pretty straightforward: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-active/general/how-to-update-to-i537oc6-5-0-1-t3089355
I'm new to this forum... I tried using the 1 click Odin method listed above to try and recover my sgh-i537 mf1 but I got an error saying get pit... I tried to copy the log to post it but was unable to right click in the log field... I am completely at a lost as to what I should do to get this phone un-bricked. I've been reading post and trying methods for the last 3 days and I'm beginning to feel hopeless

Download your rom of choice I recommend ( Jasmine Rom 2.0 ) but others might fit you better ...
1. Install towel root
first open it and click on make it rain in about 15 seconds your phone will reboot
2. download root checker from the play store and check to see if you have root access open it ..it will pop up and go ahead and grant permission then it will say congratulations you have root access ....
3. then download supersu from the play store install that(optional) ... Open it and and it will ask something about the binaries click OK and it should install them if not that's OK just close out Reboot:
3. Now Install SafeStrap: follow these how to instructions ...The latest is 3.75
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517610
3a.(YOU MUST INSTALL THE NC2 FIRMWARE IN ODIN AT THIS TIME) unified kk firmware see below pic:
4. After you install safestrap successfully hit reboot to recovery button there in SS..
5. First thing you want to do is create a backup of your Stock Rom...***
6. Then Hit the Back key til you get to the tabs that say install ,wipe etc..hit wipe hit advance wipe check Dalvick, Data, cache, and system then slide.
7.then hit back again to get to the install tab..Now find the rom of choice I recommend dl ing (Jasmine Rom 2.0 awesome rom) or follow this...

Is your phone in download mode?
1. turn off the phone.
2. press "down" volume key + "home" button + "power" button. When you see some message shows up, hit "up" volume key.
I had the same problem with Odin when I first tried to flash my new modem. First, if you have Samsung Kies installed and are not using it, unistall it and the Samsung USB drivers that came with you phone. Install the latest Samsung USB drivers from the Samsung website and then Odin should see your phone and work like a charm.

Softbricked my Phone

Tried factory reset through safestrap like and idiot and wiped system data and started the phone up with nothing. Now, I get as far as the Samsung with the unlocked padlock and that's it. I've tried Odin back to NB1 but can't seem to find any NC1 Odin files. I was on NC1 Hyperdrive 18.1 i am clueless and about to throw the computer along with the phone out the window. Please tell me what i need to do. Thank you much.!!
Also Knox says it is 0*1 which I think is bad
In download mode it says that

There is no odin file for NC1. You have to odin back to NB1 and then update to NC1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53431153&postcount=1944 has details about the update file.

Dont worry much about the knox flag. It could become an issue only if you take your phone for warranty replacement and they check that. Also, knox enabled apps cannot be installed. Otherwise, your phone will function normally.
I've tried to Odin back countless times and it always fails at set partition

I've tried to Odin back countless times. It always stops at "Set Partition" and then fails 5 minutes later.
Do you have re-partition option selected in Odin? If so, unselect and try? The phone is in download mode right?

Yes. It's in download mode. And reparation is unchecked. Only thing checked is "auto reboot" and "F. Reset Time"

this is as far as it gets
The picture shows that you have re-partition selected. If it still doesnt work even after unselecting, can you try with Odin 3.09?

Did both of those. You think if I flash the nb1 kernel, it might have a better shot?
I'm honestly losing hope
Change your cable and the USB port it's plugged into between flash attempts. Odin seems to be pretty sensitive about this on "Set PIT File..."
It'll almost always show up in Odin, but sometimes the connection isn't solid enough to actually start the flash.

I will try that. What if I take it to Best Buy? You think they could do anything?

Use the nb1 tar and don't check re-partition checked. It'll work

If you're lucky enough to have the guy not notice the "KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1" they'll flash it to stock for you. He will most likely notice because checking that is one of the 1st things they look for.
Doesn't hurt to try if you're out of options though.
I would keep at it if I were you. Switch cables, computers, and 2.0/3.0 USB ports. I'll go through eventually.
Also, see if you can flash just the PDA slot and no PIT

Odin is finicky. Changing ports and cable usually works

Odin error to get the latest update BOC5[N910F]

Hey guys, the problem that I have is that when trying to get by odin version Boc5 either of Switzerland, Luxembourg or any Boc5, I eventually pulled mistake odin, are all from a single file.
Flashes properly until the end of the green bar and is there when it reaches the end where you get the error, now upload a screenshot to see him
Anyone know because it happens ?? and that solution is.
A greeting and thanks.

md5 check hast passed or failed?
it seems, the archive tar.md5 is corrupted or the system/cache/hidden file has a not valid size... (*.img.ext4)
download the package again. and try again.
unpack the zip and flash the tar.md5 again. the md5 check MUST pass through odin .

Md5 file is ok valid but something wrong with ext4 file becouse you need flash custom recovery and phone will be ok.

A small GIFT (especially for KNOX 0x0 users)
>> N910FXXU1BOC5_N910FOXA1BOC3_alexndr.7z << (ultra packed using 7-Zip)
- PC Odin flashable (*.tar.md5 file)
- pure stock, NOT rooted, the only change is replaced multi CSC pack (putted multi CSC OXA package instead of OJK)
- contains CSC: BTU, CPW, DBT, ITV, KOR, XEF, XEO
- can be flashed on ANY N910F without a pit file
- it will NOT trip KNOX if you still have 0x0

Thank you all for your help and advice.
But I hope that future updates fix the problem.
