What you did to get it bricked?.
Just try to flash same stock firmware version the phone came with. If you can't remember flash the one for your region.

If you can still boot into Download Mode, follow any unrooting guide out there.

GT-i9505x Recovery

Hello, i own a 9505x not a normal 9505, and flashing the existing custom recoveries, do nothing, since i cant boot them.
The root works fine.
Since this 9505x is a demo unit, it has some software restrictions i want to eliminate, like it wont turn off the screen and will keep on playing a Samsung demo, it wont take over 20seconds videos and some other annoying stuff, i am trying to make it a retail unit.
Any suggestions ?
Why did you post this here in "Android Development"?
Can some admin post it in q and a?
Noone owns one?
same here mate!
i got my hands on a i9505X at work (with sim tray and mmc slot) but i can't deactivate demo (retail) mode. everytime you poweroff the device it wipes every change.
it tried flashed a i9505 stock rom via Odin and it fails in the modem.bin part...
i was sucesslfull at rooting the device, but now my i9505X takes ages to boot (stuck in Samsung Galaxy S4 for a while) and has no wifi
i tried almost every i9050 kernel available with no luck...
any ideas?

Mate can you pull the stock recovery and send it to me? I can tell you how to unlock retail mode and the security dongle.

Kernel wont do anything for you, restore it and it will be fine. Did you succeed in pulling the recovery?
Why do you need to make the demo unit work?

Its working, i just messed up the recovery mode by flashing a i9505 recovery and now i cant restore it. I want to unroot it and flash the mew firmware from kies. Thats why i need the stock recovery
Any chance you can extract the stock firmware for your GT-I9505X and upload it please. I have the same device given to me by a Samsung Rep and I stupidly tried to install the stock formware for the i9500 varient and now its had it. It loads the samsung boot screen as soon as you turn it on and then just keeps restarting every 5 seconds. Im hoping if I can get hold of the original firmware and reflash it will work! Cant find the firmware anywhere!

That is fine my friend just a matter of time there are many things I too donno and take my other expert help
And ya i also can't say exactly what cud have caused bootloop may be some bad files £ apps etc
It won't be under clocking as u did stock flash and was stuck so device was trying to boot in new os u installed
May be something u removed after rooting could have caused boot loop

Yes, mate! I actually using no bloatware app to

But the boot loop when we turn off the phone ourselves
and when turn it back, it stuck seems no way to pass samsung logo. Maybe I underclocked the phone and it causing the phone to fail to boot past?? I am right or not

No you don't have to its already unlocked

Repair Samsung Galaxy S4 IMEI – Fix Galaxy S4 GT 19505 IMEI error

After repair my phone from bad boot, as it was stuck on the attached image i repair it through kies. but now it's showing IMEI problem. it's showing NULL
That's forced download mode. First thing you need to do is flash a stock rom (preferably for your carrier) with Odin. Then, if you're lucky, you may get your IMEI back. If you don't & you don't have an EFS backup, it's either a service centre or local mobile repair shop job.

I had this problem when I first got my s4 I flashed a ROM everything went fine I booted up and imei was null, so what worked for me was booting back into recovery and wipe everything and restored my backup and all was good again!!

No one that is smart will share their IMEI code with an other person. I would highly recommend that nobody should share their /efs backup.

If you don't have backup then you should get acces to a samsung box: http://z3x-team.com/

SM-G530T1 Stock or Cutstom ROM

Okay, I have a Samsung Galaxy Prime with Metro PCS. I was just texting the other day and then my phone reset and I got a black screen saying Blocked by Binary FTP. So yes i made the mistake of bricking my phone and flashing the T-Mobiles SM-G530T firmware. I've looked everywhere for the Stock Rom but can't find it and not sure if there are any Customer Roms for this device. Can someone get me going in the right direction or am i best with just sendng it back to Samsung and letting them flash it?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/development/odin-5-1-1-sm-g530t1-oh9-metropcs-t3280445
I know it says "Core Prime" but I assure you its the Grand Prime SM-G530T Stock. it's just a little typo.
It is the T-Mobile version but compatible with MetroPCS 100%. Metro PCS is under T-Mobile in the first place, pretty much the same thing except for the Start-Up & the apps. But it works! & the developer(s) that made the package did an amazing job!
If anyone needs further info feel free to contact me! I would be happy to assist in any way possible.

so i bought this phone about 3 months ago (SM-G530T1) and i bricked it 3 days after i bought it by installing busybox un-rooted. still not sure how that happened but that is not the point, the point is i flashed the only stock firmware i could find (at the time) and it just so happened to be a mis-marked T-mobile firmware package. i didn't let it bother me though and continued to gain root and flashed ShinySides [AOF8]. It worked like a charm! I was just running T-mobile FW on a MetroPCS phone and it just got confusing if you have to call costomer service lol. so i made sure it worked in every way and removed all the bloatware. the only problem i had was with the hotspot feature, it had a mind of its own and that got annoying but i dont really use it that often so i could live with that. the phone was a champ! so i went to find a recovery or twrp. i was looking and found TWRP 2.8.7.0...it was not for the SM-G530T1 but it sorta worked and when i say sorta i mean it does pretty much everything you want it to do except BACK UP FILES! Lol! (at least for me anyways) so i ran that with the T-Mobile software for a few months until lastnight... see I didnt know about the failure to back up my files issue so you have to understand that i fully expected the TWRP Backup files to work and last night when i went to restore one of the BUps it informed me that i had no OS anymore !! oh man i wanted to puke! Upon further inspection i realized that it was only backing up about 20% of my system only and i should have noticed but i didn't expect that and that is how we learn the difference between knowledge and wisdom right? OK so at that point i had a bricked phone (MY DAILY DRIVER i might add) and i was not to happy to lose all my personal info either, so i went back on XDA to see what i could do. i was very pleased to see that there was now a working MetroPCS Package compliments of TSAR3000 and I went to work. I flashed it via Oden and was happy to see the familiar MetrPCS logo again, but i needed to re-root it so i used the ShinySides [AOF8] just to see if it would worked with the metro Firmware and it did! it trips KNOX but i could care less cause i dont want that crap anyways and i get rid of it right away lol. I debated if i sould put this next part in the message but i decided i would because people should be weary of programs and roots applications and remember that this is the true reason we root and unlock our phones to begin with... so Im not a paranoid person by nature but i dont trust King root or any of those one click apps companies because of some article i read a while back about how the Chinese root apps and downloads could possibly contain spyware but i never found any truth to it but from what i do know about the Chinese government i dont take the chance but its my opinion and i like the good old fashion (though a little more involved) flashing of SuperSU or whatever you like. So yes if you want to use ShinySides root procedure do it cause it works with metro just fine. Good luck.

Put the file in AP slot and the metro pit file in the box marked pit and start. And in about 4 or 5 min your phone will reboot and the if you want root and recovery flash Mr Sunnyside's trap kernel AOF8 then after that flash recovery TWRP SM-G530H it's the one recovery I've been able to find that works.. Good luck

i wish someone would have been kind to me and gave me this little rundown when i started rooting my phones way back in the day. direct and to the point good job! anyways i hope there is no issues... i dont see why there would be since i have been running this exact recipe for 7 days and i must say its a rare moment in the phone modifying world when you can say "perfect" this is one of those times... now if we could only get some rom up in here it would really be awesome. hey i jus want to warn you about that TWRP your about to use. i know it to have bugs personally.... the main issue is that it doesnt back up your Data Boot Or recovery or Cache LOL, but everything else works fine so far. it will however back up about 20% of your system and shut of LOL (Basically just enough to add insult to injury) so my advice is use it cause its the best we have but BACKUP SOMEWHERE ELSE! just use the TWRP to flash or do the little weird TWRP things you gotta do K? Good luck!
SM-G530T1
I'm new to this forum. I've soft bricked my Grand Prime, flashed it, put a custom Rom on it and installed TWRP. What I'm trying to do is find the device tree specifically for this phone. If there isn't, how would I go ahead and build it from scratch?
