I guess not but its kinda weird really the stickers were off and no signal network so im thinkin its a demo unit,On the link i have posted you can give it a shot if you able to boot the unit u can check it better.
Try to flash the files on that post first and check

Ok Downloading ... and will tell you the result ..
Update:
I tried the demo unit firmware (given link) but the result was same .. it failed the same way.. i tried flashing boot-loader only from that file and its seem my mobile have newer bootloader than that provided in the unit demo firmware.. Trying from last 2 days but no success .. Hope you will find any other way ..
Update 2:
Now i able to flash the Philz Recovery though it says nand write failed but it was flashed and i wipe everything and tried the cm11 nightly but it gives boot loop.. i tried the fix but same .. i dont know what is going on . i can't flash anything through the odin all firmware fails .. recovery fails., kernel fails and the single pit also fails.. by saying nand write fail .. i think the emmc is set to read only but don't know how to remount it to RW .. hope you understand what i mean.

You are at the wrong forum. This is not for the verizon s4. Go there for anwsers.
Probably you just need to reflash stock firmware or something.

i was using the stock ROM when i tried to install cyanogen few months back but the processed did not go through successfully so now when i start the phone i get the samsung custom logo.
so i was using that for months now because it did let me go thru normally even though the process of installing cyanogen didn't completed. So i think i messed up some internal files.
but phone was working good and everything until when i wanted to factory reset , it goes into odin mode and then gives me that error no matter
what version or Stock rom i use

boot screen kernel is not seandroid enforcing

hello guys
i have i9505 here when it boots it shows in top left corner this massage in red and yello and it just stuck at that massage with galaxy s4 logo
(red) boot screen kernel is not seandroid enforcing
(yello ) set warranty bit kernel
TBH with you guys i Don't know what happened with this phone beside someone tried to flash it with a rom and it went wrong
and what do you think about this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2594483 did anyone try it and what happened to phone ??
how do i know phone region ?? CSC_config_LSB
a friend of me said i need Z3x samsung tool box to fix it is that a box or a program that i can download ??
I'm sorry to bother you
That method should work
Edit: and no you don't need any toolbox
thank you another question how do i know My Phone CSC or region or any firmware will be ok ??
I honestly don't know, for my model I just download the firmware for it and flash it but it may be different for the i9505.. I would think you download the firmware for your country/carrier if available from sammobile.com and flash it through Odin.. There may be a guide for this try searching the forums
on which model you tried this ?? and how did it go , did work ??
I didn't have the same problem but I know this solution works, it fixes many problems.. I have M919 USA model
ok i will try it nothing to lose and About Z3x do you really think I don't need it , because my friend said its only solution for this problem !
Yeah I'm pretty sure you don't, as long as it turns on you shouldn't need it for the most part
i tried that on 1st attempt it failed however in 2nd attempt odin doesn't detect phone ??
i did try it 3 times i only got a firmware upgrade enncoutered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again !! AND kies is not connecting the Phone.
Uninstall kies, reboot and try again
did that nothing changed
Try changing usb ports and try every last available port, if that doesn't work try reinstalling drivers
did it all and nothing changed
will downgrading help ??

Nope.. Can you try a different computer?
Edit: what version of Odin are you using? Try a different version, or newest if you don't already have it
It's just a normal message when you use a custom kernel. A custom kernel is always included in a custom rom. So nothing to worry about.
You can do 2 things:
1. Flash a custom recovery (if you don't already have on), flash the custom rom you want.
2. Flash one of the latest stock roms. The rom from the thread you posted is outdated and can't be flashed to your phone if you have the latest bootloader.
They are right, I actually thought about suggesting that but for some reason I thought you didn't have custom recovery, if you do you can just flash a ROM without having to worry about connecting to Odin
sorry for late respond i will try to flash recovery and see if i can boot to into it

Help please

Install app called "phone Info" from google store, it will take you to correct firmware as per your country origin.

That shouldn't have failed, CSC mismatch is not a cause of flash failure. Can you provide more details?
Hm...
Hi guys,
I had an issue similar to this and have no recollection what I did to fix it. I don't even think that I fixed it, ever. Meaning - no stock ROM install for me for months and months now.
I just downloaded some AOSP/TW ROM and flashed. Are you able to get to the custom recovery? Please confirm - I've read somewhere that you can flash stock from custom recovery. I did try a few "PIT" files, with no help.
P.S. I remembered a bit now. I was finally able to flash it through Odin, but entered boot loop. So, no go!
My eyes are on this thread.
Good luck,
Sonny B.

If it was a pass message on odin it shouldve worked go into recovery mode and do a factory reset from there it should work it happened with me too but remember dont leave the phone switched on as its stuck in boot loop cause when the powers dead ur phone wont charge any more it would keep thinking as if its not bieng charged if thats what u did i recommend making a factory cable search it on google and charge from that so the device knows its bieng charged once the wipe data is done reset and hopefully it would work if not i think u should flash another stock rom again i hope i helped

Good luck!

Where to start ?....soft bricked S4.... unknow delaer/firmware :-[

Hi folks!!!
I know is very annoying this question....
But already look in a lot of forums in XDA, but without luck....
So I first start with my background about restoring and flashing devices.....
MY first flashing device was a Galaxy S1 with Cyanogenmod.
Later a flash 1 Galaxy Young, and after I fixed a different and default random soft bricked Galaxy Young.
My last flashed device was a S5 with LineageOS 3/4 months ago....
Im did so installing CWM when was possible, using Odin , or ADB....from Linux and W$.....
Until I get lost my last phone Galaxy S5...
So I had to buy a 2° hand phone quickly....he was working OK... for a while ....the time has passed and become more and more slowly....so I decided to make a reset factory .......very BAD IDEA... I didn't take build information....just the model...GT-I9500....
The same info appears in the Odin download Mode....
But there is no tag with SN, and IMEI neither on the back... :'-(
So I get stuck in the Download mode ...but there IS NOT TAG about ODIN mode in this screen.....at least if
unplug the battery, and restart the phone holding PWR+HOME+VOL. DOWN .
[ EDIT ]
Trying to flash stock firmware with Kies ( who request a valid SN, what I take from web ) in the next models
GT-I9505
GT-I9500
give me this message ( in spanish =) ) ==> "este modelo no admite la inicializaciòn" , which means " this model cannot be initialized" .
[ end EDIT ]
I also tried smash (softly...covering with a canvas ) the power button...but without luck...
Seems like the phone is factory locked..... what I had read may be by AT&T or Verizon....any way to know which dealer?
Any idea or recomendation where to start ???
Its ( maybe ) JTAG cable the ONLY way/solution to fix this, or even this is NOT a solution...?
I will waiting for your answers....
TIA
PS: sorry if I made some mistakes with the english

Hello Rhoban, and thanks for your reply!!!!
and YES, Odin recognize the phone, the flash result is PASS, but the phone continues stucked on the same "Download" screen...
Because I dont have SN and IMEI neither, I dont know which ROM to flash..
After tryed to reset factory whithout luck, I tried to flash lineage, without any result.
Also because I cant unlock bootloader, I supposed to the phone was from Verizon or AT&T.
I tried to flash this ROMS's , setting the image on AP field from Odin
Verizon
I545VRUAME7_I545VZWAME7_I545VRUAME7_HOME.tar.md5
I545VRUDMI1_I545VZWDMI1_I545VRUDMI1_HOME.tar.md5
From doidview ==> I545VRUGOC1_I545VZWGOC1_I545VRUGOC1_HOME.tar.md5
also i tried to flash the next PIT files and same result...nothing changed
SCH-I545.pit
SGS-I337_16GB.pit
adonis.pit
an this bootchain and bootloaders setting up on BL tab:
I545_OC1_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5
NB1-Boot.tar.md5
VRALEC.bootchain.tar.md5
From droidviews.com ==>
I545_NC5_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5
I545_NG6_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5
I know all above is a mess , but the list is the most detailed I can :silly:
thanks again!!!!
PS: I want to put the source link where I take the kernel images and ROM's , but because I'm newbie
( --- ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. ----), I can't

Hi, the same download screen before you started flashing? Do you have "no reboot" ticked? (Heimdall user sorry) After pass just restart the phone and wait 10 min or so.

Never read into this, but resources are there( Seen some topic titles), there is hope for Verizon and AT&T users.

Did you have a backup? Flashing the wrong pit file might hardbrick your phone. I guess the above where blocked bij Odin (Lucky you).
In short:
Connect your phone in download mode> open Odin> click PDA or AP > Select the stock firmware > start.
You mentioned your device being a GT-I9500, but the ROMs you said you have downloaded are for I545 and I337, both of which are Snapdragon models. The GT-I9500 is the Exynos model.
So that may be your problem.
Thanks LexHimself for your advices! I had backed up already the contacts and pics.
and thanks Rhoban ....for you suggest I have to start again from the beggining, looking for the rigth ROM for my device... so thanks for put spot on the processor model !!!!
So I gonna start again, looking for the right ROMS...
I will post as soon has news about flashing Exynos rom´s....
thanks guys!!!
[SOLVED] !!!!
Hello guys!!!!
As Rhoban point me, I have to look for the right recover image ,and ROM for my phone GT-I9500, with Exynos processor, who has code JA3G, so with that code I can address well .
So I download this recovery image "philz_touch_6.12.8-i9500.tar.md5", and after install, I download and install the right LineageOS ROM for my system.....
but this would not have happened, if I would started for look for the processor model as FIRST STEP...
so THANKS SO MUCH RHOBAN, and thanks LexHimself for your advices!!!!
??????
Cheers!!!!
