that's just a soft brick...
If u have orignal bill and have not rooted the phone before,go to a Samsung care and have it fixed.
Dont mess with it anymore,u may trip Knox,resulting in warranty void
edit:wait,u have custom system status,download a 4.4.2 for ur region and flash it

are u worried abt ur warranty?
coz if u flashed stock 4.3 then knox was installed too ..
and with knox tripped, u loose ur warranty ..
If u don't care abt that, wipe clean everything then flash any rom, it will do fine..

hello i have a problem
every time i try to flash 4.4 with update boatloader it gave me fail in odin
try another firmware it boot but never leave the n9005 logo
what it the problem ?
i can install x-note ROM 4.3 with recovery and work fine
but x-note 4.4 boot but never leave the n9005 logo too
is my phone hate kitkat?
Is my due to bo you gi di eg?
Why even touch your phone when you can't basics or at least learn some by reading and searching and Google translating some. How about to sell your note and get a dumb phone.
What logo? Samsung?
Just clear dalvik cache and factory reset from recovery. Turn phone off. Pul battery out. Volum up, home and power button at same time and do it from there. You will be find after a reboot.
i did that
and i did every thing here

Hello.
When upgrade to kk with upgrading bootloader sometimes will have a bootloop. This is normal.
I read few website they all suggest same thing.
When u face bootloop just go to recovery do wipe data and wipe cache partition.
I upgrade few note 3 already from 4.3, all the same. Have to do wipe.
Some I use nb7 germany some I use nc2 czech. All have to full wipe.
Sent from N9005 NC2 ROM.
i tried what you told me but the same no boot to system whin tick update bootloader on not tick it
tried two firmware
no luck
back to xnote 4.3
Use odin 1.85, correct usb drivers, uninstall/kill kies. If you can still run a 4.3 rom like you said then obviously your bootloader hasnt been updated. Or 4.3 wouldnt boot at all.
Also you say odin gives you a fail, but you dont even give the details as to what fails? A simple copy and paste is all that is needed.

Hi all.
I have big problems with a Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505).
A friend gave it to me becouse it doesnt start anymore. He was licen to Musik whan the screen turn black and the phone doesnt start anymore.
So it stucks at Bootscreen. I can start Odin mode and i tryied to flash CWM and TW Recovery. Also i tried to flash original Rom from Sammobile.
Odin passes with the recoveries but it doesnt work. The rom failed.
I got a error message when i try to start recovery mode.
Recovery Booting
Recovery is not seandroid enforcing
Set Warranty Bit: recovery
I cant get into fastboot mode. The informations in the Internet are that there is no fastbootmode for the gt-i9505.
Is there anybody who can help me? And sorry for my bad english

Hi mate,
Some more information would be nice.
Which was the latest firmware and which version did you want to flash?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Take a look at this, especially to the "Odin troubleshooting" part.

Hey. Thank you for the answere.
I tried to flash I9505XXUGNF6_I9505DREGNF2_I9505XXUGNF6_HOME.tar
The latest firmware was 4.2.2 (Austria 3)
I tried now another Odin version and i flashed it with PID file. The only result is that i get a recovery booting
in the top left corner but it still stucks... i cannot open recovery to wipe cache / factory reset.
The last thing i tried was to flash the original recovery. <- back to the 3 errors.
now i try another odin software with another usb port. odin passes with everything but i cannot open recovery. just stuck at Recovery Booting

Hi,
does Odin give a fail log? Or does it finish successfully?
Which Odin versions did you try?
And the firmware you want to flash now is a Austria 3 one as well? You can also take another version (but still with the same csc) in case that your current one is damaged or something like this.

Hi again.
I used Odin 3.04 and 1.85. Also i tried diffrent USB Ports.
I tried to flash CWM 6.0.4.7 Touch and Non Touch, also twrp.
It passes with all the recoverys as well with the rom from sammobile and the stock recovery rom from the other tread.
i tried with and without pit file. Odin passes everytime.
Afther restarting the phone i just get the blue (booting recovery) or the 3 error messages in the top left corner and it stucks for hours.
Iam not able to boot recovery and wipe the cache... and iam not able to boot into the system do something else.
the only thing working is the download mode.
iam out of ideas.

You can try to flash a three or four part firmware with Odin 3.09, it will wipe your device itselfs
Sent from my Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk
Try flashing the recovery again with auto-reboot unchecked.
But it sounds more like a hardware failure to me.
Thank you all for your help.
And yes. It was a Hardware failure.
This time i think i blow it....
I own a G900F with knox tripped, rooted, with stock but already with custom recovery (TWRP 2.8.0.1)
I updated using kies to latest firmware (ANE2->ANG2)
Now when booting it's stuck on "RECOVERY BOOTING"....
I can enter download mode, but I don't want to screw it more without an advice...
Can somebody help me?
Thanks in advance
