for some reason, I cant enter recovery. I managed to enter in the Download menu and installed a new ROM (Odin) all went well, the phone rebooted, and guess what ? The phone was exactly the same , lik eI didnt do anything...
Im so glad its my last Samsung...
Do you have a custom recovery installed? Twrp or cwm?
after odin flash, did you try rebooting to recovery and resetting from there?

My s4 doesn't boot anymore.
I can get into recovery.
I can flash another custom rom but still stuck at booting.
I did read somewhere that i need to wipe data/factory reset, but once i do that my phone just reboots and gets stuck again?
I can't flash a rom/recovery through odin since i can't boot my phone and so odin won't see my phone connected...
Any ideas how to get my s4 working again?

Flash philz recovery using odin and for that to work u need to have your phone in download mode
Unplug Power off then press volume down / home / power button all together till a screen comes there press volume up and connect to odin and flash recovery
Then goto recovery and wipe dalvik cache and wipe cache then reboot
If still stuck at boot flash stock firmware using odin using above method and then wipe cache / reset the reboot
Edit : also be clear abt what u saying I can go to recovery and flash rom it's confusing

- Install the new drivers: HERE
- Update ur ODIN
EDIT: How to use ODIN -> HERE
Tryvthis first:
Boot to recovery by pressing VOLUME UP + POWER.
when you see blue writing in top left corner release the power button but keep holding volume up until you're in recovery.
P.S The Home button is not needed on i9505 to boot to recovery or download modes.

This worked, and phone booted in recovery mode (not touch that was previously installed), wiped data/factor reset however phone is still not booting. I think phone has no rom manager installed, how can I proceed to install rom manager and flash stock rom or root it again?

Hi everyone!
Today I attempted to install a ROM for the first time using ROM Manager. I flashed Clockwork Mod Recovery and then downloaded CyanogenMod and tried to install it (pressed Reboot / Install in ROM Manager). My phone then went into Download/Odin mode. It then didn't do anything for ~10 minutes, and after taking out the battery, the phone still went into Download mode. I got it to boot normally by pressing Home + Power + Volume Down and then pressing cancel when it prompted me to enter download mode. However, every time I attempt to boot into recovery, normally or ClockWork, the phone just goes to download mode. I even tried to do a factory reset, and the phone booted again into Download Mode.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks!

Hi. Having a issue with my girlfriends phone. Don't know what happened, but it got stuck in bootloop. So I did a Odin flash, phone had custom Rom before this.
Now it's stuck on bootloop, and some times ends up like pictured.
Can enter download mode, but not recovery. I guess this has something to do with it having twrp before I flash stock on Odin?
That no command screen is shown first when recovery is booted. You either have to wait a bit for it to show or need to play around with a combination of keys to unhide the recovery menu.
Also when you go back to stock firmware from custom Rom firmware you have to factory reset your phone to boot it up again.
Finally, after about 3 hours I finally got access to recovery menu. First time I could not make any selection, 2nd time I got to factory reset and wipe clean. Now it's booting normally!
Key combination
Hi, which key combination did you use to get access into recovery menu?
