Hi to all,
my galaxy S4 got wet and stopped working. After cleaning it with several fluids and 12h in the oven it works again!! ( )
The phone kepps showing the S4 logo and then restarting again.
**I can enter the download mode!
What i'v done so far
apply CF root with ODIN
installed CWM via odin (failed) - i get "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing" when trying to enter
installed TWRP via odin (failed) - i get "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing" when trying to enter
currently i have no chance to install a ROM in .zip format using the recovery mode.
Does anyone of you has usefull tipps for me ? I would really like to get my S4 back into working mode!
thanks and best regards
chris

i have not so far, alle ROMs i found for donwload are only in ZIP format. Do you have one in the suitable .TAR or md5 on hand??
unfortunately no. Try to look in i9505 original android development thread

i guys!
i managed to find a stock rom version with the needed mD5 file for ODIN. i flashed it using ODIN and after the flash there small "android" came to the final installation steps.
after rebooting the the S4 the Samsung loto appreas and start "shine" as it normaly does but thats it. After removing the battery i can restart it but it does not load more than the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen - loop
maybe the water damaged some parts of the flash memory?
any idea?

1. Flash new firmware through ODIN in DOWNLOAD MODE (uncheck autoreboot).
2. Shutdown ur phone when the process finish.
3. Reboot in STOCK RECOVERY then.
4. Wipe all/factory reset.
5. Flash again stock firmware (same as step 1).
Look. If it got wet and now malfunctions, then you have damaged your hardware.
Trying to flash roms is pointless, because it's not a software problem.

You still can't load into recovery? You used the right odin file?
You should be able to load recovery then wipe data/factory reset and it should work.

I think you can't fix that, im almost sure the phone will need a motherboard and/or screen replacement because the digitizer being damaged when flashing a wrong rom.

How much are you sure? in other threads they say its just bricked and they recommend to install stock rom with .pit
damn
I don't know, I just know that if you use the wrong root file that happens, i hope in your case it can be fixed.

Tell me did the flash process completed while u tried the wrong firmware ?
If not
Go to stock recovery u try reset and wipe cache partition and reboot
.
it stuck,it said "wrong binary executed" and i rebooted.
I had flashed twrp recovery,and i cant get into that,now.I can only get into, download mode (power+menu+down button) and the normal download mode.
Complete(Write) operation failed.
Now?
I'm not saying this is exactly the solution in your case, but perhaps you can take a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984717
I can only assume the same principle could apply in this case if you say you can get the phone into download mode.
well, i closed kies,i changed usb port and now, i made to install the stock rom.Now appears "Samsung galaxy s4 i9505" and it stucks there.I made to install recovery again.And now i am trying to install a rom,besides stock

Lucky one
.
after I had succesfully rooted my phone, I wanted to install a custom rom.
I am sure I did something wrong ofcource otherwise I wouldn't be here.
#1 Battery in
#2 power on
#3 vibrate
#4 screen on RECOVERY BOOTING
Recovery is NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warrenty Bit : recovery
Samsung
GALAXY Note3
SM-N9005
#5 screen off--> reboot -->goto #3
how to brake in the loop so I can use odin ( or whatever ) to install (at least) a normal boot again?
Which custom recovery did you flashed Twrp or Cwm?

You installed a 4.3 recovery on a 4.4 phone.
Most likely you downloaded the TWRP on the main page and did not download the latest 4.4 compatible one.
Please flash this in Download Mode: http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/hlte-recovery.img.tar
To get into Download Mode, remove the battery, wait a few minutes then put it back, Hold the Download Mode Combination then it would boot directly into Download Mode.
hey nicho, thank you very much
so that was the trick. REMOVE THE BATTERY --> PRESS THE DOWNLOAD KEYS AND HOLD THEM --> THEN ENTER THE BATTERY BACK.
it costed me the whole day yesterday searching for a solution.
at least now I can continue to install a new rom
Thanks man
TWRP
during twrp it told me, there was a newer one. 2.x.x.9
so stupid me, if I had sticked to the plan, nothing would happend.
I used twrp b4 some days ago, for my samsung note 10.1 (2014) without trubbles,
I guess, I overread something
but I'm happy it is all fixed now.
thx for show ur interest

thank you

Solution To Loop SM-N900P
I am new to XDA and have only been with android for 6 months but i figure this will help new comers to this issue. Power+Volume Down+Home at the same time to enter download mode. Flash CWM via ODIN. This should work to fix the loop. I found out the hard way but it only took me an hour. I am not sure if this will work if you have not already rooted your phone but it should (since this is the major step in rooting). I believe i deleted my CWM file (accidentally) when i was trying to clear space for my recovery with ROM Manager. Be sure to download the Samsung drivers if you had not already done so during the rooting process.
Hope this helps.
Gives me same error message
But after that it boots into recovery.
Should I proceed installing custom rom or is there anything else to be taken care of
Thanks!
Thank you very much,you save me a lot of trouble.

Based on my experience, using rom manager to flash recovery always results in a problem. I suggest you use odin to flash this in download mode.
Btw, 4.4.2 is Kitkat

should I root my phone first using cf-root. Then flash the cwm recovery. What happens if I get stuck in a bootloop after flashing the recovery

The way I did this is, first install the cwm recovery then flash cf-root after. You can always use odin to flash back the original firmware.

so there is nothing else I have to do before flashing the recovery?
what boxes should be checkmarked in odin

Just make sure reactivation lock is off.
When you first start odin, F.Reset Time and Auto Reboot are ticked off so let them be and make sure only those are checked and nothing else.
You probably know this but just to make sure, load the recovery on the AP slot before hitting start.
Hey guys,
I got jamals google edition installed on my S4 and when I forgot to charge it and I started the device I got a bootloop. I dont know why, but I also could´t get into the recovery mode, so I flashed an originial Samsung firmwar via Odin on my S4 (4.4.2)
After that, it restarted but I got a "android.process.acore has stopped" message and I couldn't use the S4 because the message kept popping up and the S4 automatically restarted and when it restarted the message appeared again, so i had a very strange loop i couldnt interrupt. So i flashed another 4.4.2 firmware and also again the same firmware, but nothing helped, I still got the message and the S4 kept restarting.
So I flashed the Omega Pre-rooted 4.4.2 firmware via odin (and the exact same thing happened). But whats strange is, that before it started it said "updating 1 of 172 apps) so that must mean, that even though I flashed 3 firmwares via Odin, my apps somehow stayed on the S4? And also the wallpaper was the same wallpaper I had before, what was very strange.
Then I installed Philz CWM Recovery because I waned to perform a factory reset. But after I installed it and tried to get into recovery mode, I couldn't and only this was displayed :
Recovery Booting...
Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing
Set Warranty Bit: recovery
So it seems like nothing works and I'm getting really desperate, does anyone of you has an idea how to fix this? Otherwise I guess my S4 is bricked
Regards and thanks for your help

I'm assuming you know about KNOX now that you've flashed an official firmware you will have KNOX and you've already tripped KNOX by installing recovery but you won't be able to use a lower version firmware just bare that in mind when flashing official stock again.

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

Try flashing the recovery again with auto-reboot unchecked.
But it sounds more like a hardware failure to me.

And yes. It was a Hardware failure.
