My samsung galaxy s4 (GT-I9500) does not go past the samsong logo with the i9500 and the samsong name.
I put a new simcard in my phone, and after my phone started it asked me to update the phone to a new release. I obviusly clicked OK.
my phone started updating, just like it normally updates, but this time the screen goes black in the middle of the update. I turn on my phone, and it starts installing, then suddenly it turns off again.
when i turn it on it loads the first boot logo, then i get a black screen like the phone was never on.
i tried everything:
battery of and on
wipe data/factory reset (from - volume up, home button, and power button)
wipe cache partition
and apply update from cache has an empty recovery folder.
i tried to boot in safe mode.
and nothing worked
I want to reinstall jellybean(or any os that works) on the phone, but since i can go to settings and allow usb debbuging, my computer does not recognize it even when it is on doenloading mode (volume down, home, and power button) from my ubuntu turmenal.
I am willing to root my phone or anything to get it working without paying money.
How do i fix this? please help!

You can't just use downloade mode in Ubuntu. You need to download Heimdall to use download mode. You can use this guide for flashin the stock rom.

Once you see the Galaxy S4 Logo, release the Power button and continue holding the other two buttons. Click Volume Up to continue into Download Mode), have USB drivers installed in your PC , have the stock rom of choice in your PC ( what version you had before the problem?) and Odin program

Plan B
No need for debbuging , you have to root ( using Odin) and you have to install a custom recovery ( using Odin) ...then after that you copy in your SDcard ( take SD card out , use your pc or other phone) the custom rom of choice , insert SD card again in your phone , enter recovery , go to the menu , choose install zip from SD card select custom rom and flash.
Either plan A or Plan B you do not have to enter in OS of the phone ( you cant anyway)
Read well all the threads before you do anything , you must be 100% clear , ask all the questions you need BUT read first until you have an idea of what you want to do

Just a sidenote:
You don't need to root if you want to use a custom recovery. You can just flash the recovery and flash the rom you want.

i have problem with SGS i9000 i go to in recovery mode cwm i upgarde it without wipe it
with this rom (I9000_Alpha_HTC_Sense_v0.5)

ithink it understand my problem
plz quickly solve my problem
Go to download mode (volume down+home+power) and flash any stock rom with repartition checked. your phone should be okey
Remove battery and try again.
Can you get into download mode ??
If so flash a stock rom with pit 512 and repartitioning checked via Odin .
The rom you installed is Alpha that means not ready for Beta full of bugs use only if you know what you are doing .
ROM does not work is what the post says where it says must read .
jje
i do all
i use odin
i remove battery
im not have (software now ,2e recovery and 3button v up+home+power not working to go in recovery mode)
but my sgs when i connect it with pc usb plugin 3sec and restart
If you have any other ROM zip on your SD card then just flash speedmod kernel with odin to get CWM recovery back (see my signature for link)
If you don't have any other rom zip to update with CWM recovery then you will need to flash a stock rom with odin.
i try with odin but useless
if you have program anther odin give me plz
may be try the reset button, which in the middle of the cam and speaker, search in forum for details

I thought it would be a great idea to try flashing from to Froyo from Eclair anyway, and while it was going on, my pc disconnected the phone and bricked it COMPLETELY... I pulled the bat, tried all the 3 button combos (they worked before I flashed, I tested to make sure), and nothing worked...
I spent hours looking through the forums and the only advice I saw was to try a jig, before reading that for a 100% bricked phone it would not work...
What to do
- Take of the back case of your SGS, inbetween the camera and the speaker, you will see a little circular hole...
- Take a pin/pen and poke it...
- Hold the hole pressed in and press the 3 button combo for download/recovery mode
It should go into download mode and from there you can flash on a fresh firmware!
I saw NO mention of this hard reset's existence anywhere on the website at all, it worked perfectly for me!

unless you mess with your bootloader (in this case you didn't) you must be able to go into download mode and flash a fresh odin rom with pit 512 and repartition enabled

I think your phone is bricked ( Soft )!
Solution :
Go into Download Mode By Pressing Volume Down Key + Home Button + Power Button.
Download Odin and the ROM you want to install
Flash the ROM using Odin.
If you don't know how to use Odin to flash the ROM, see this thread
what part should i read in this insane thread?
haha
Soft bricking often happens in when you try to install a ROM which is not optimized for your phone e.g:Installing i9100 SII ROM on your i9001.
Here is a basic tutorial on how to unbrick a i9001.
Requirements:
For unbricking your phone you are going to need these:
1.An official Samsung firmware
2.ODIN downloader
3.AriesVE.ops for ODIN usage.
4.USB cable
5.Samsung KIES drivers installed
6.Patience!!!
OK.first of all you need to check things above and make sure you have them all.
Fortunately when your phone is soft bricked(when soft bricked your phone doesn't boot into the OS And instead of that you'll see picture of a phone connected to a computer and on the connection line there's a warning sign) can get yo the download mode. So first get your phone in download mode by pressing this button combination: volume down+ home key+ power button
So then get set to use ODIN.
Connect your phone to the PC and make sure you have installed drivers and also killed every KIES process.(If you have done well till now you can see one black gets yellow and in Terminal you'll see 2 lines "detected","added") So start ODIN and place AriesVE.ops as the ops file then use your official firmware (extension should be like this |..... .tar.md5|).To get your firmware working tick "one package" and place you "MD5" file in "one package" location. Then after MD5 checking start the process and go grab a beer.
Wait about 7 to 10 minutes to see PASS on the block.
Then your phone would automatically reboot into your android OS. Then you can start rooting, Tweaking and other stuff again.
At least one you have your phone and your warranty back.
FAQs:
1.my phone gets stuck at setup connection. what should I do?
Chill out! Don't panic! Simply remove your battery for 10 seconds then do these things all again and proceed!
2.my phone boot loops what do I do?
Simply reboot your phone in the Recovery mode "volume down+ power" and wipe cache/dalvik cache if you can.
(Once I installed FOTA from stock recovery and that worked for me)(I suggest you install the official TWRP recovery from SDcard to have more options)
3.you tell me your questions!I'll edit the topic later!
At last feel free to ask any dumb question. Dumb questions are muck more valuable than dumb mistakes!

Hi
For the beginning i want to say thx to the people who will try help me.
Samsung Note 3 SM-9005
Rom: NB3 4.4.2 (kitkat)
I should post it as a reply to the chainfire's post on cf auto root but i can't cause i am a new on xda (and he didn't allow me )
So what is my problem ?
When i tried root with CF all is ok but when odin say 'PASS' there is no recovery boot (the install process, the red android logo)
What i have ? > After my flash my phone try to boot (with Se Enforcing + 2 other stuff blue red and yellow i guess) but my phone can't boot (yes even boot) he only reset and try re-booting.
chainfire's say
*NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.*

So i tried it, i unchecked the auto-boot, flash my phone pull the battery and press the button (without the battery), and after my phone turn off.
When i turn on >> same issue boot loop all time
And to have access on the phone i must go on the downlaod mode and click restard phone...
Well if u could help me .... 90% of my app require root x) :laugh:
Is this the file you used? There's 2 files, one for 4.4 and the other for 4.3. Try flashing the file again.
Yes i used this file
i forgot to say that kingo root is so buged i mean i try also to root with him (on 1s)
He put my phone on download, install the recovery ect
Result: a fake root, in fact even if i have SuperSU (he installed) He said me that i have no binnary installed
I also checked on "Root Checked" no root here
BUT on download mode: custom os + custom binnary
And his chinese recovery work
1 hour ago i used my GN2 to see if maybe it's my computed who have issue with kingo root
Result: Root perfectly my phone
I also forgot to say that i used different odin (1.85,3.09 ect) on admin
And i tried the NA6's rom (maybe was the rom ^^' but nop still no root)

I re-read your reply and I'm a little confused. Did you pressed all buttons after removing the battery? Also, there is no restart phone in download mode, you can only get out of download mode by pressing power button for a few seconds or remove the battery.
Lastly, maybe check you have the correct samsung usb drivers and reactivation lock is off.

Well i know but i didn't even really understand the process to manually boot the recovery (the chainfire's quote)
what i did ? i flash my phone when odin say "reset" i just pull the battery on the table and next press buttons (Volup+home+power)
My phone turn off i replace the battery and i get the booting loop
Maybe my way to process is wrong, i don't even know chainfire don't really explain in details the way to do it....
For the driver i deleted all and re-installed by kingo but in fact all time my device is detected (in all mode) and COM if alway here (also the flash is correct)
I think maybe my process is badly done (maybe i can't understand cause im french)
Here's how I would normally do it.
- download the file and extract to a folder/location of choice
- put phone in download mode by pressing power + vol down + home button all at the same time until something comes up on the screen then let go of the buttons then press vol up then connect to usb on pc
- go to where you extracted the downloaded file, open odin and put the tar.md5 file in the PDA slot and click start
Odin will flash file and automatically restart to apply root ( red android with red letters ) then restart again to android.
OMG dude that work thx to you :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Ok the last post i mean i didn't understand the process of the boot recovery manually (with autoboot unchecked)
But i least this time i used a different thing- what ?- A nokia usb cable
And this time that work and im sure before i did all u said to me.
I worked on 2 night x)x)
Anyway dude thx to help me
No problem.
Enjoy your phone :good:
I have a Samsung galaxy note 4 with stock android. My phone shut itself off while I was listening to pandora, and when I tried to turn it back on, it got stuck rebooting.
It gets to the Samsung splash screen, and no further. Even when I try to enter recovery mode using volume up + power + home, the splash screen appears with 'RECOVERY BOOTING..." in the corner, but it just reboots again.
I have tried turning the phone off completely using the power button, then turning it on again. I have tried removing the battery, letting it sit, and trying to restart again. I have tried charging it to see if that was the problem, but it's not. If I use volume down + power + home, I can get to the custom OS options, but I have not rooted my phone, so I don't know what the 'continue' options does.
How can I get my phone working again?
Turn off the phone. Enter download mode instead of recovery (volume down + home button + power) and open Odin on your PC and under AP add your .tar file (via Sammobile) and hit OK in order to get stock Touchwiz on your Note 4 again.

hi
firstly ,
If you cannot "factory reset " in recovery ....then and if nothing else works ? and you don't want to take phone to service provider /Samsung service centre .............
last resort is to( but you have to know what you doing !!!!)
is to reflash your device /phone current stock ROM,(that you were on),with Odin /pc..laptop
If you are unsure "how to flash ?" i suggest to Google /search for an straight forward video ,on web /Youtube ?
if so and you can get into download mode ( phone off ,pull battery..... insert battery , volume down + power + home button ) When in download mode ,volume up again and follow normal procedure to flash your stock ROM with Odin
Remember ..that above to flash stock Rom with Odin ,you don't need root.
Also ,in your post above you refer i quote......
"I can get to the custom OS options, but I have not rooted my phone, so I don't know what the 'continue' options does"
i think what you actually mean that you can get into download mode ,???...................
and the volume up is when you" ready " to flash your device and connected to pc/laptop with Odin ...
Also make sure if you know how to reflash ..... that before reflashing with Odin ,you have ticked correct boxes in Odin( .....and how Odin works )
Bottom line ...if nothing else works ,
a reflash of your correct phone ( current stock ) Rom you were on ,should fix it .
good luck
