Alright, So I bought a brand-new Galaxy S4 i-9500 a couple of weeks back. Ever since day one, the phone has major problems working with my Sandisk Class 10 64gb sdxc card, which I was using in my Galaxy Note N7000, without any problems. The card also works perfect in my wife's Galaxy S3 i9300.
The problems include:
-> The phone showing card as "Damaged" and not mounting it.
-> Sometimes it mounts the card, but shows the card as 'Blank' or 'Wrongly Formatted'
-> And yet sometimes, it mounts the card, but does not read some specific files. Opening those will give a message which says "File format not supported". In the process, the phone heats up to pretty nasty levels, and the battery drain will be massive. The phone also becomes very slow, gets stuck, and sometimes even restarts, and the problem keeps continuing.
If I remove the memory card, the phone works like a charm. I tried a 16gb memory card which also produced more or less the same results.
Now, the real problem is this. Recently, I had tried to root the phone, and for that purpose, I tried flashing CWM from cofface, through ODIN 3.07 and 1.85. Both the times, the flashing process was successful, with ODIN giving the green "PASS" message. However, nothing seemed to change on my phone, and CWM was never installed. I could never get the CWM screen no matter what I tried (every instruction on the net, literally). I then left the matter.
When my aforementioned card problem bothered me a lot, today, I decided to re-flash the stock firmware to my phone. So I downloaded the stock ROM from Sammobile, the correct pit file from XDA and started the flash process. Flashing was successful, as shown by ODIN, and the phone rebooted. But to my horror, the phone was exactly in the same state, when I had switched it off. Nothing was ever changed, all my files and everything were intact, and nothing had happened at all!!!!
How is this possible??? The bootloader shows "Downloading" and the blue bar while flashing, ODIN shows everything and even says it succeeded, but then how come things on my Phone remains absolutely unchanged??? So then what did it re-flash and where to?? And is there any way to get rid of this memory card problem??
I googled a lot to see if anyone else is experiencing the same problem as mine, but never found anything, which leads me to believe that my device is one weird thing!

Odin doesnt wipe your device or delete anything of your data...
If you flash the same firmware with your device firmware then nothing's really happened..
But if you root or change anything to system - boot - recovery - modem partition then simply is going again to stock or to the version you flash..
Thanks
Maybe there is something wrong with flashing memory (emmc).
There is an app on play store to check it, but i dont know if it works on s4.
I suggest to replace your phone. Or send it to service center
Edit: flash another different stock firmware, and check pda and csc if has changed

OMG. I just experienced the EXACT same issue with a Galaxy Exhibit (MetroPCS) SGH-T599. I picked up this phone 2nd hand. It has Philz Touch v6.25 recovery already installed on it. But the phone is stuck in a boot loop. So I decided to flash the stock ROM, a custom ROM via ODIN and later even via flashable zips from the Philz recovery! I even tried to flash TWRP to replace Philz Touch thinking there was something wrong with Philz recovery.
No matter what I did, EVERY TIME, the phone remained in EXACTLY the same state, i.e., with Philz recovery still on there.
I have searched everywhere for the last 3 days including XDA but never found anyone else with the same ODIN flashing issue. Thank goodness I found your post. I'm reading the thread now looking for a solution.
I've noticed a couple other things beneath the surface. When I flashed a CM custom ROM for the phone, the default.prop indicated that there was a new system on the phone (I can access the phone via ADB and look at the files including the system files). It also appears the phone was rooted by the previous owner. Another thing I noticed is that some cases when I tried to install a custom ROM via the custom recovery, the phone would suddenly reboot just at the point the recovery attempts to write the ROM.
Yes, it is clear the phone is good and bricked. But how on earth to unbrick it if ODIN isn't actually changing ANYTHING on the phone and installing a ROM via Philz recovery changes little to nothing either.

Totaly same problem with my Galaxy Note 10.1 (N8010). Tried flash stock ROM over Odin a totaly nothing changed. It is in bootloop everytime with totaly same Marshmallow logo, even if I flash stock ROM which is KitKat... Only sometime it boot to system where it say to me "Encryption unssucessfull" - WTF? i never have password, and when i click on something it just reboot to BootLoop...
I have TWRP recovery on it, but when i want to flash some ROM it flash it but nothing change... Maybe EMMC memory chip is death or I dont know...
Fellas, try on other PC/Laptop or reinstal Windows/Ubuntu whatever you use... That helped me..
Hi everyone I just recently purchased a used S4 the GT-i9500. Everything seemed fine until I got home. It detected my T-Mobile Sim fine but I could only access 2G data and could not connect to any WiFi network I came across. The rom was stock 4.2.2 and the phone was rooted pre purchase. So after fiddling around for a few minutes I discovered the previous owner had flashed TWRP v2.4.1.0 as his choice for a Custom Recovery. Now at this point I had decided to flash on a Custom Rom and of course I first made a backup before flashing on WanamLite. Now after attempting to flash it I immediately received a failure. I tried turning off the signature verification and it did not flash. Now in my frustration i attempted to wipe everything and tried flashing Omega Rom v14. Now i was able to go through with the installation and choose what I wished to install and when I pressed Install things went along smoothly until I hit the app SecSafetyAssurance.apk where it freezes. This is a bump that I've run into at least 5 times already. I changed certain options I wanted to install and eventually made it past this and I am prompted to reboot. Now when I do this to my dismay I just receive a black screen. Upon pulling out the battery and attempting to reboot I still receive a black screen. when I boot back into the Recovery and attempt to reboot the system from within TWRP it warns me saying No OS Installed Are you sure you want to reboot. Im at a loss of what to do. I have read about other members suggesting to use ODIN but I am very confused about how to access Download Mode in order to flash a stock rom from SamMobile.com. I could use a few tips or maybe a few options that I'm left with in order to obtain the operation of my phone again. I would like to get my phone back and Im sure some users can relate to how Im feeling so any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advanced!

Well first thing is get the latest stock firmware for your variant from my sign and get odin 3.07
For download mode power off phone unplug,, press volume down home and power all together till something pops up and release then press volume up and connect to pc
Open odin click pda and select that firmware u downloaded start the process
For more info check my sign help thread link it has more options on the same

Flashing through odin is one option.... some users have reported that there were some hiccups when installing omega 14 because of the aroma script.....try a different rom...there are many others to choose from....or you could flash stock via odin as said on the earlier comment good luck
Feedback
Today I attempted to use ODIN to flash now I am still currently attempting this. When I press the volume down key, power, and home button it takes me to the custom recovery TWRP instead of download mode. The phone did this when I first purchased it. When I still had what appeared to be the stock rom it would always take me to the recovery. When I would use the volume up instead of down it would take me to the factory test mode now mind you this happened when the OS was still installed. When i try that combination now i just receive a blank black screen. Are there any other ways to boot into download mode?
Hey guys
Just got a S5 (previously owned a S2 and S4 Active, which I have rooted and put custom ROMs so many times. Hence I'm familiar with Odin, Recovery, etc etc).
About a week ago, I installed Shohat v5 ROM, everything went fine. I was quite happy with it.
I installed back my app from my S4 Active through a big update.zip (backed up with Titanium paid version) thanks to custom recovery.
And just now, when my battery was like 5% left, I decided to make a hard reboot (as Xprivacy warned me that I needed to restart to have my changes into effect).
I charged my phone and THEN I push the reboot button (not the hot boot).
While charging, the screen went normally black, but stayed black with the blue LED notification ON (not sure if that info is important).
Then, black screen stays forever:
- no logo
- no download mode
- no recovery
- When phone is connected through USB to my laptop, I hear the usual "tadaam" sound from Windows, but no "USB notification".
It seems a JIG would be the solution, but no idea if that would work for a S5 (I guess Samsung has now worked to avoid that solution)
Well, if anyone can help, that would be cool
Obvious I know but you have pulled the battery for a while and tried again right?

Hello
Indeed, I just removed the battery for a few hours a tried, no success.
But is it normal that a hardbrick can occur 1 week after installing a custom ROM?
Right now I can't bring it to Samsung store for repair...
(Adding a new post as editing is not working properly)
Isn't there a way to use ADB with commands through Windows (as there is the "tadaam" sound when I connect it through USB)?
A friend of mine bricked his Nexus tablet and went through such solution to remove the brick ...
OK ............
Here's the magic
After removing on and off the battery many times, trying to boot in recovery or download (trying about 15 times)
Now I managed to boot in recovery (I was like "huh?" and "wooohoooooo")
Did Wipe cache
Did Wipe Dalvick
No Factory reset
Fixed root (seems like I lost it, no idea why)
Let's see if I can reboot it
I think maybe the issue came from the huge update.zip created from my S4 Active (i9295) with Titanium backup (I was in Android version 4.2.2).
Maybe the reinstalled apps, messed up something as the ROM was in version 4.4.2...

OK ... bad news again
I performed a hard reboot to check that everything was stable, and phone rebooted fine.
then I turned off and removed to battery to put back the SD card and the SIM card, and now the phone is not being turned on again.
And now the phone is not able to be turned ON again...
What's going on, any idea?
*** EDIT ***
I managed to reboot in custom recovery totally randomly after playing with the battery (removing, putting it back, trying to boot)
I made a full factory reset and reinstalled the custom ROM Shohat.
After rebooting, it went directly to ODIN as it was displaying error messages "ddi: MMC_read failed"
I guess the internal SD card is dead.
Questions:
1/ Is warranty OK if
- KNOX counter is at 0 (no idea why it is at zero)
- Current Binary is set to OFFICAL
- BUT SYSTEM STATUS is set to "CUSTOM"
2/ Can a custom ROM do this or is it a hardware failure?
Did you try with another sd card did you have apps installed on this sd card for me this sounds like a dead sdcard issue with some apps on it. I had the same issue with my X8 when a lot of apps ware running from the sd card btw sd cards are totally unreliably for storing important data as they usually die after some writing on them.
Change the SD Card and I think your phone will come back to normal.

I don't know if this helps but I had an GS-900H (S5 octacore version) and struggled with it for a week trying to debug this problem, ordered new memory cards, installed different ROMs, etc. only to find out that the card reader was bad.
In my case it would corrupt the card every time so that my PC would need to 'repair' it before I could begin using it in the PC.
Maybe the card reader is a common point of failure?
EDIT: I also had issues with different cards working and not working based on the speed of the SD card (different S5). I know for a fact that it will switch you over to main memory when taking pictures that require advanced features -- I got a popup telling me that my memory card wasn't fast enough.

Hello guys
Thanks for your input.
Unfortunately I do not have an external SD card, the issue is with the Internal memory
So i can not request new ones or try to replace it, or work on the card reader...
Amazing that you are about to lose your phone forever and you don't even consider installing the original Samsung firmware.
What da f*** are you doing?
100%. Numb nut doesn't deserve the great phone It's like he got OCD.

Hello
Well, not sure that ODIN will work as the internal MMC is not recognized, so where would that be installed?
Furthermore, I'm waiting for the feedback from Samsung (as knox counter is at 0, Binary is set to OFFICIAL and only status is set to Custom).
I did not want to change these counters with manipulating ODIN.
If Samsung gives it back to me with a new one, then wooohoooo
If Samsung says "f*** off, you manipulated it, warranty is off", then I'll use ODIN with STOCK ROM from Samfirmware + PIT file (they are ready for use on my computer)
If you can't get to download mode how do you propose to use Odin to flash stock ??

So, I have gotten myself in a bit of a pickle I however think I can get out of it by sideloading using EXT. SD, Im not sure what to flash to solve the dillemma however. So this is the situation. I have a (had) a rooted Galaxy s4 (sgh-i337 ucufnc1) with 4.4.2 android. It had safestrap installed and back ups of everything else in sd card and other locations just in case. The phone was acting buggy, so I formatted the phone with safestrap, the problem persisted, ill get into the issue a bit further down. So I booted back into safestrap, and did a complete wipe, however my sd card must've bumped out, because it didnt delete any media files or so it said, and then after the wipe it crashed. and refuses to boot into safestrap or even past the splash logo. I can get into download mode, but usb debugging isnt on anymore since i wiped it, I can get into the other mode as well ( cant for the life of me remember the name of it atm although i use it frequently) with some luck. I also happen to have all .md5 files from a backup i did about 4 months ago in tact, I cannot for the life of me get them to convert properly to apply them to the phone without safestrap however, if anyone has any insight to this please let me know also.
I can/will list any other information I have if anyone needs it, and if anyone can help it would safe a life!
The reason i reformatted it to begin with, was because media would stall, and when i plugged in the audio jack it'd freeze the entire app using it, then the whole phone would freeze. I believe it was due to lucky patcher but im unsure. The issue began when I altered the auto update file, and even after i rectified it, it persisted. At this time i have a phone soft bricked because it didnt delete all the media files and I assume something bugged onto the kernel image but Im not sure. If I can simply try to restore it to stock kernel then im fine with that.

I believe it was due to lucky patcher but im unsure. The issue began when I altered the auto update file, and even after i rectified it, it persisted. At this time i have a phone soft bricked because it didnt delete all the media files and I assume something bugged onto the kernel image but Im not sure. If I can simply try to restore it to stock kernel then im fine with that.

UPDATE: I resolved the issue, by rooting, safestrapping, ripping the image files, from another galaxy s4 with alike descriptions. then i managed to side load it, then it booted properly, i then reformatted it completely back to 100% factory everything. Now my original problem persists, and i cant help feel that google services is causing it. (examnples of issues" proccess.gapps has stopped. anotrher process error code. phone calls can be made, but not recieved as it seems the server is too busy to n otice it, massive battery drain, audio takes several seconds to play, while video continues to play fine, audiojack is mostly unresponsive, phone calls that are made cannot recieve or send audio during call session, phone may freeze at unlock screen, or any time during operation, may even reboot from process overloading" now keep in mind. i removed every system file and app that the natural reformat will allow. so nothing applied by the user is on the phone, other than natural factory applications. Im digging a bit into the phone as i can but its a slow process whenit starts freezing. if anyone has any idea of what can be causing this, or how to fix this please inform me lol.

The best solution must be installing the stock firmware via odin. Since you are on NC1 , You can installed the stock NB1.
Here is guide explaining you using odin, installing NB1, root with towel root, updated NC1, install the safestrap. The guide was not specifically written for that but you can find those steps in the guide.
I will attempt to do this, since nothing since has work. I am about to get a new logic board for the system in the next 2 weeks. Towel root DOES typically work on this system, however the last time I attmpted it it failed to work outright. Im not sure what has changed with the device, but i believe reflashing stock is the best method. The phone now, will boot up, then skip the lock screen and go straight to the home screen, which is black with no pull down bar, or with no signal and there is no way to rectify it. Even if there were, it boots back down and launches back up and becomes locked at the ATT logo.
After a fair bit of messing with it, and recovery mode it will sometimes boot normally where it tells me that processes has failed and askes me to cancel the ''app''. This is the best option to update the phone and attempt root, but getting it here is so difficult because it reboots itself and the mode is rare to acquire. This problem either is due to the kernel, or the rom i believe. I also am to believe the powercell may have some issue, as i replaced the battery a few weeks back and it worked fine for about 1 week.
Booting into safemode doesnt work either as it skips over the lock screen straight to the home screen. Outsidce of replacing the logic board, or attempting another flash im at the end of the short rope i was already on in terms of options.

UPDATE: I found therein two methods to flashback to stock. I did so, then proceeded to attempt to flash from nb1 to nj4. Progress stopped there when it flung an error 7 at me. So this means either something in my phone is corrupted or the file i downloaded from the above mentioned forum is corrupted. I also attempted flashfire, but seen as it STILL crashes at random due to process errors thats almost impossible to attempt.
I have had the s7 edge for a while. I root it and change the rom to superman rom. I made several formatting, installed xposed, uninstalled xposed, installed again ... I changed several times of rom (Superman Rom, King Rom). I alternate between stock and custom.
I do not remember when the crashes started but I tried to format the sd card, it did not work, I tried to take the sd card, it did not work. I formatted the cell phone several times, put up stock MM, it did not work. Now it is stocked Nougat and it continues the same thing. It locks up and has to restart, when it hangs fully - like now - I have to wait until the battery zeroes and plug the charger back to life.
Yesterday it gave a drizzle on the screen and a noise of interefencia and locked everything and then I tried to restart and I could not, it was when a warning appeared on the screen;
Bootloader Exception, etc ....
In another forum I was told that the problem is in a piece called flash memory, only changing it that this problem will stop. What do you think?
someone?
You need to flash your stock bootloader and modem via Oden
