Hey,
I have following problem:
Few days ago I bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 Lte (I9505 jfltexx). I wanted to root it and then flash CM onto it.
Rooting went fine but when I flashed CM it aborted with Error 7. After that it was soft bricked but i managed to flash the Stock Rom back and everything was fine again.
But today I tried it again but got following problem. CWM was gone and i had to reflash it. But then everytime I tried to get into recovery mode the phone freezed at the "Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505" Logo with the little blue "recovery booting" in the left upper corner. I tried to flash CWM and also twr but it did not help.
SO my final thought was flashing the stock rom again to at least have a working phone. But when I tried to flash the Stock Rom ODIN failed and my phone gave this error "SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused:2, Binary: 1".
Then every time it started it booted into download mode and said "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again". I googled how I can solve this and someone said that it has something to do with root. So again I flashed the CF auto root and thank god it booted up normally.
But now my problem: I have no root on my phone(superSu says that there are no SU-binarys), I can't update my stock-firmware because the software update says that my phone has been changed. What can I do to 1. gain root access again 2. flash a custom rom(best would be SlimBean)?
Hope you can help me

What is this great advantage that rooting and installing cf brings, that makes you run the risk of destroying your brand new, very expensive phone?

Ok, I'm just wandering what big difference it makes. What extra does it enable your phone to do? I mean it must be really good to run this risk.

First of all it's the principle that I don't want to have a phone where Samsung tells me what to do and what not. Then there are things like root which are necessary for me because I'm also using it to test my apps which require root access. And also of course apps from the play store which need it. I'm currently using Slimbean because there's no AOKP build for the I9505. It requires less space on the phone, it's heavily customizable and it has the look of vanilla android. And a huge portion of why I am doing this is just me being curious about such things.
In the end it worked and I learned very much new stuff.
Sry 4 bad english
Hey your English is very good mate. And I was just curious as to why you run the risk, thanks for explaining it to me. I rooted and put a new rom onto an orange san francisco (zte blade) once. But that was not an expensive phone. My wife would kill me if I messed up this s4 with almost 2 years of contract to go lol
Hi, please help me with this as I am at a complete lost with what to do. Also please forgive any errors as this is all new to me (and yes, I realize I shouldn't have been fooling around in the first place if that was the case...), and forgive me if I am posting in the wrong spot. I'm also a little confused as to where I should post this question.
I recently rooted my phone using towel root and followed the steps from wolfdroid for samsung galaxy phones with 4.4.2.
I had some problems with wifi so I wanted to go back to stock firmware. Following another wolfdroid video on reflashing stock for S5 I did the following...What I did was I downloaded the firmware from SamMobile, with the correct phone model, etc. I then put that into odin (the AP option, and then hit start), and it failed. My phone managed to reset and work normally, but I tried it again (and to be honest it's a little hazy what I did next), and that failed, and now my phone wouldn't work and shows the 'firmware upgrade encountered an issue' screen.
I managed to write this info down before I rooted if this helps the cause...
Android: 4.4.2
Model: SGH-I337M (Canadian)
Build: KOT49H.1337MVLUFNI2
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

For whatever reason using an older 4.4.2 firmware and doing the process on my laptop solved my problems (instead of desktop).
This thread helped: (title) [Q] Soft Bricked sgh-i337m. Please Help
I am newb to android world.
I have Samsung Note 3 SM-N900.
1. Succesfully installed lollipop 5.0 on this phone after reading for a week on this site.
2. Was planning to root the phone, followed instructions from here:
CF-Auto-Root is pretty much only method for Lollipop at the moment. Yes, it does trigger the KNOX Warranty Void flag though, look it up if you want to know what it means (voids warranty in certain regions apparently, definitely not in EU).
Instructions are in the first post of the CF-Auto-Root topic - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2466423

Phone was rooted properly, checked from Chainfire su https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en
3. Installed Rom Manager PRO, was trying a custom rom boot animation, which warned but I tried anyway and now phone will not boot.
I am getting series of errors:
Unfortunately Gallery has stopped
Unfortunately text-to-speech engine has stopped
Unfortunately Settings has stopped
Unfortunately System UI has stopped
Unfortunately Task Manager has stopped
Unfortunately Internet Speed meter has stopped
even after clicking ok for several times waiting since last 15 minutes, phone will not boot.
Please help.. sorry for being a newb..
BRO just reflash same russian rom again using odin.... problem will be solved.....
Or try to flash lollipop 5.0 bootloader may be it can solve booting problem
Sent from my SM-N900 using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks mahi,
I am able to boot into download mode hoding volume down button and recovery mode holding volume up button. Should i try to do following in present condition without Reflash lollipop rom
Wipe cache
OR
factory reset
Data is not important as I have all my important data on memory card (video/images)
Phone is alive again:
Did following things to recover the phone which was not booting:
1. wipe cache partition
Nothing happened, was still getting those application stop issues, phone was unable to boot.
2. wipe/reset data
Phone came back alive.. all applications got uninstalled except Super-Su Free from Chainfire.
I am able to open the application Super-su properly.
How can i confirm.. If there is nothing wrong and proceeding ahead with setting upon the mobile again.
Edit 2
Went to Recovery Mode and Download Mode, did nothing..
Again started having the same boot issues, all applications getting stopped
WEIRD !!
Probably.. should reflash entire thing again.. ?

Reflash the ROM via odin, then factory reset and clear cache before first boot.
you have one solution go to download mode , go to sammobile download the official firmware for you device and your country connected your device with pc download the lateest version of odin . install and oppen odin go to pda .chose the firmware that you downloaded from sammobile install clik start and the problem soved
Not sure.. How i updated lollipop last time or rooted device . (local mobile repairers who work for rooting when paid are not at all knowledgeable)
I always got STOCK recovery MODE option, just tried to get into recovery MODE on a Note 2, and got same menu options.. like i have in NOTE 3.
Few minutes later, followed all instructions in this thread again:
Thanks to dr.ketan and cryostasis25..
I used same file again = n900-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.0-kk_L5.0(0812).tar
And now I am getting a different recovery MODE option..
(PROBABLY, i have to MYSELF spend more time reading/understanding terms.. before going ahead).
Now top title of recovery mode displays "CWM-based reocovery v6.0.5.0"
Giving few many options to select from list. (I never got this recovery mode before ??? )
All my last wiped applications are intact as well.. (wiped around 6-8 hours ago)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58775300&postcount=5
I am not sure still, what i tried/did.. Any guidance shall be a miracle.. for a newb
Tried going to recovery mode/download mode several times now, and phone wont crash
Kindly let me know what/where i did wrong..
Edit 1
I am also getting an option now to install dr.ketan ROM from recovery mode.. will try that for sure 
Once I receive some responses (to a newb)
Edit 2
I can still find I am rooted, Chanfire su app still appears installed and runs perfectly fine..

Yeah xda is just.....you know after a few years you'll be laughing at all the stupid things you did as a noob......u know what brought me to xda in the first place .....I wanted to install iOS on my puny galaxy 551.....lol.....
Another one .....once I replace the build.prop file of my galaxy 551 with that from galaxy note......device choked while booting up.....that was the first time i flashed something with odin....
So the point is every one has gone through the same thing over here....so other's understand your situation.....and are willing to help....long live xda
Please can anyone help? "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" N910C Apologies in advanc
Hi,
I realise that this is a common problem and that the usual response is "go read"
Here's the short version:
Bought the phone secondhand ROM installed is some varient of 5.1.1 afaik, tried to back up the ROM before trying otrher ROMS, CWM didn't work - read some threads - tried TWRP which seems to be installed, got into a boot loop, read some more threads - tried to install glamour S6 from TWRP, nothing happened now getting "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing"
Absolutely no idea where to start - I've had android phones before and always successfully rooted and installed ROMS before.
If anyone could help I would be very grateful as I don't want to make it even worse.
TIA....

You could have flashed a Stock ROM first / fresh and then try out other ROMSs.

Yes, possibly...
However, what I did was try to back up the supplied ROM first.
So that I would be less likely to bugger it up
I'm not sure that it has the OEM ROM tbh.

Hi,
I don't think I can flash anything at the moment ?
All I'm getting is "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" in a loop.
Not sure where or how to start
V+ & home & power does go to Team Win Recovery Project v2.8.7.0
Can I do anything useful from there ?
TIA...
well, by flashing i meant downloading a frimware from sammobile or... and using odin to install the stock rom , dont let that "kernel not seandroid enforcing" get on you nerve that one doesnt really matter , only way to solve your prob is to install a stock frimware...
about the slow download speed try searching the latest frimware name on google and a direct link from another download site might probably come up...

i bought the phone when i was in india and i flashed the ROM which was released in some other country. Now im in saudi. Its working for me perfectly.
I guess the only solution for your problem is to download a stock version and flash using Odin. Then you can start trying other ROMs and so.
It will work 100% for sure.
Thanks.

Hi,
I could really do with being pointed in the right direction.
I am trying to get a working ROM onto a N910C - nothing I've tried so far is even close to working.
The N910C has WKRP installed now, which I am not familiar with, having only used CWM before.
Will this work ? http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/samsung-releases-android-5-1-1-ota-update-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910c-1517429
Can I install from TWRP ?
How do I tell if a ROM is compatible ?
Is there any way of telling if on of these might be work ? http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910C/
Still very stuck

Download this. This is the latest Lollipop ROM for SM-N910C. Download and flash this using Odin.
Vol down + Home Button + Power Button, Then connect the phone to the Pc and flash with odin.
If its confusing for you then READ THIS tutorial. Read completely and follow the instructions . . . this will work because i used the same method.

Hi,
Thanks that's what I've been trying to do, downloaded 3 ROMs before you suggested that one. Finally worked out that unzipping them in windows was causing errors (reason unknown) switched to a different zip program and the ROMs are ok now. Still wouldn't install in Odin, switched to a different PC - same problem - bought a new quality USB lead and I've now installed the ROM suggested by you, I don't know whether the other ROMs would have installed as I didn't try with the new USB cable.
All the operations in Odin carried out successfully, I've now got a slightly different problem - when Odin finished, the phone booted:
"Samsung Galaxy Note 4" "powered by Android" then just SAMSUNG logo in the middle of the screen with some music - then back to the "Samsung Galaxy Note 4" "powered by Android"
I've had to take the battery out to stop the bootloop - I have looked for answers to this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358554645
I'm a bit reluctant to randomly try fixes in case I make it worse ?
If anyone can help me out of the boot loop ?

Maybe the version that your phone was running was "coj5" Build of 5.1.1. this is the latest build of 5.1.1 and it basically locks down your phones bootloader you can't flash any old 5.1.1, 5.0.1 or 4.4.4 firmwares just go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910C/PAK/ and download the top firmware which is coj5. flash it and it might take you out of the bootloop (do a factory reset first) it will lock your bootloader to run only 5.1.1 or newer builds but since you have already tried other roms i think its worth it atleast you will have a working phone. (don't worry about csc being PAK it does not have any additional bloat)
Just in case it's of any help to anyone in the future.....
The unzipping problem was down to unzipping inside windows - as soon as I used winrar, no more corrupt files.
The install from Odin problem was down to a knackered USB cable.
Many thanks to Captain Droid and everyone else.
I got out of the last bootloop by repeatedly wiping the caches, after about 3 wipes it booted and seems to be running ok...
I'm very pleased to have it working again
Is there's a safe/best way to try other ROMs or is it a case of best leave alone ?
Less bloatware would be nice - or is there a way to properly remove some of it ?
I have N910CXXU2COL2_N910COLB2COL1_THL installed atm
What's the best currently available custom ROM for the N910C ?
Do not be afraid to ask dumb questions; they are easier to handle than dumb mistakes
Is there any obvious reason why Rom Manager can't install a custom recovery with this Rom ?

Hi,
I've installed this and am grateful to have a working ROM. I thought that after installing this, I would be able to install other ROMs ?
I would like to back up EFS and the current install before trying to install another ROM, ROM Manager won't work, so I have tried to back up EFS from Philz Touch Recovery, that hasn't worked either. It couldn't write to SD1 but claimed to have written to the phone, but hadn't.
I've also tried to install Sixperience from Philz, without any success - another bootloop. I eventually managed to reinstall the THL ROM via Odin.
Is it possible to back up EFS from the THL ROM ?
Can I install sixperience from Odin ?
Is sixperience the best ROM to try ?
TIA.....

Hey Guys,
I hardbricked my phone by flashing 5.0 with flashfire...
Can someone help me, and give me a clear instruction what to do?
I can´t boot it; Recovery/Download Mode doesnt work.
In my device manager it only shows " QHSUSB_BULK ".
The firmware i flashed: usp-forum.de/downloads.php?do=file&id=2431
Thank you

Just lol. Definitely not Samsung's fault. The 9005 is hard to brick, only user error is the culprit.

User needs to post information if any progress is to be made.
Download mode ??
Recovery mode ??
Nandroid backup ??
NO roms on here say use Flashfire do they ??
i've flashed devices before, htc, lg and other brand, but samsung are the hardest one to understand lol...
btw no download mode, there is no recovery, no backups..just dead phone..my windows 7 reads the phone in device manager like: qhsusb_bulk...cant find any drivers for that...cant pass in odin too..i tried debrick.img method, nothing worked so far..last i was using twrp with 5.0.wont..i think its eMMC...
If the following approach works, un-brickable Note3 can be claimed.
