After this the device shuts down, and tries to boot into recovery mode (after manually restarting), wich hangs.
After this i tried rebooting via download mode. Again phone hangs at spash screen.
Can anyone provide me with a solution. I would like to be able to boot into recovery and/or flash a new rom (witch is not possible atm because of the device not being rooted)
If I forgot something. Ask me, and i'll update the start post with the info necessary.
Thanks in advance.

Can you add a pic of your "DOWNLOAD MODE" pls? Ty :highfive:
* Maybe?: You are flashing wrong firmware if you own a SGH-I337. You must flash this firmware via ODIN: HERE

Everytime i try too flash it, It always FAILS. There is a type of firmware i can use "I9505XXUAMDE_I9505TELAMD8_I9505DVUAMD8_HOME.tar.md5", But this particular one installs SU, Which i don't want, It also causes several features on my phone to stop working. Such a the clock and i can't even use my wifi.. I have tried several times, Over and over to try and fix it through Odin, But it will not budge, I can load the phone to download mode, But can't get past that. I am now stuck on the upgrade issue screen and i am literally stuck on things to do.. Any help will be appreciated as i am in desperate need to have my phone back too working order! I have tried Kies, Installing it uninstalling it, Disabling my firewall.. EVERYTHING.. I am trying to install the original firmware "I9505XXUBMG4_I9505XSABMG1_I9505DVUBMG1_HOME.tar.md5" But Odin will not let me!!

[Q] Soft bricked (hopefully) my phone when rooting. Help, please?

A few months ago, I got a (Verizon) Samsung Galaxy S4 (it was "free" with contract). I successfully rooted it not long after.
Just a couple weeks ago, an update was released through the verizon network, so blindly I decided to use the update, only to find out afterwards that it removed my root. I tried the same method I used before to root it, only to find people saying that the newest OTA (Over The Air) update made rooting impossible.
After a fair amount of searching, I found a method which supposedly would work (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487142). I used the method, however it did not work, and my phone was stuck in download mode.
After previous reading, I learned that the only way to manually exit download mode was to take out the battery. Though the root attempt had failed, it was obvious that something had occurred, so I was hesitant to use the brute force method of exiting download mode. However, without knowing an alternative, I removed the battery.
Now, whenever I try to turn on my phone, I merely get the message "Firmware update has encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
If it helps, the text displayed in the upper corner with this message is:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I545
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enabled
eMMC BURST MODE enabled
I have tried firmware upgrade and initialization in Kies3, but an error message is shown saying "SCH-I545 does not support initialization", When I tried Kies2, it just told me that the device was not responding.
I am still able to enter download mode.
When I try to flash an os using odin, I get these results:
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..

After some time spent on really deep and sophisticated analysis of your problem, I think that you will have a very good option of solving your problems described here
I don't have the Verizon version but maybe try reflashing stock file in odin

You can get it to repair to service center.

Samsung Galaxy S4 (I9500): Bricked After Trying To Install Custom Recovery

Hello.
I got a new Galaxy S4 (I9500) this October, and decided I would go ahead and install custom recovery on it. Me thinking I can get anything to work did not heed the warnings that this model does not support it go ahead and try anyway. After several failed attempts I find some software on the Play store that seems promising. Long story short, I no longer have a functioning recovery partition, and my phone will always try to boot into recovery mode unless I boot in Odin mode.
I have tried to follow several guides, most of which tell me the same thing:
Get Samsung drivers (not Kies)
Download Odin (one version or another)
Get the I9500 Firmware and install using Odin.
My phone is (from the sticker below the battery):
MODEL:GT-I9500
FCC ID: A3LGTI9500
SSN:-I9500GSMH
It is also factory unlocked.
I did notice however that the text in the top left when in Odin mode says it is a SGH-I337
The full text:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC BURST MODE: enabled
I have tried flashing both 4.4.2 (as it was delivered with) and 5.0.1, but I get the same error:
<ID:0/005> Odin engine v(ID:3.1100)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..

The error that is displayed on the phone is:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Note 4 Boot Loop - Tried KIES and Flashing Stock ROM - Still Looping

Hey ya'll, this past Saturday my Note 4 started a boot loop while using Baconreader. I was using stock ROM, unrooted, T-Mobile. I first deleted the cache partition, then did a factory reset, but neither worked.
I tried flashing with Odin v3.09, using ROMS from SamMobile:
4.4.4 ANK4
5.0.1 COD6
5.0.1 COG2
Each time I would get
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/003> FAIL! (Auth)
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
And on the phone in download mode was:
Odin Mode (High Speed)
Product Name: SM-N910T
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Reactivation Lock: Off
Knox Warranty Void: 0x0
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable (CSB)
AP Swerv: S1, T1, R1, A2, P1
Secure Download: Enable
UDC Start
SW Rev Check Fail : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1
[1]eMMC write fail: ABOOT
I then used the latest ROM from SamMobile, 6.0.1 EPE3, and everything worked. Odin flashed it and the installation was good. But as soon as it finished and booted for the first time the boot loop started again. I tried using KIES to do a emergency firmware restore but it would not pick up my Note 4 (Using a Samsung USB Cord) I tried it with and without Samsung USB Drivers installed. I'm starting to think it may be a hardware problem, honestly though I have no idea. I would like to get some other opinions before I send off for a new one. (No warranty over a year old) Thanks in advance, and sorry if the formatting is long, I figured it would be easier to read if everything was spaced out. Thanks in advance.

G930A stuck in update bootloop

My G930A will no longer turn on. When I try to boot it into recovery, it shows the blue letters saying 'recovery booting' then, it shows a blue screen with the android logo that says 'installing system update'. It will switch between those screens over and over and sometimes boots into recovery but the screen is frozen so i cant do anything there. I am still able to boot into download mode though. the firmware version was G930AUCS8CRL1. I was able to flash the G930AUCS8CRJ2_ATT8CRJ2 firmware that is linked on xda, but it still has the same issues.
When I try to flash G930AUCU4CRE4_Oreo on Odin, it says:

As background, I had some success with rooting my device when it was in nougat, but I decided to revert to stock. I'm not sure if this is a residual effect of that...

Replied in other thread as well, but I believe you need to use the key combo to access recovery.
After the screen with the blue letters that say "booting recovery" give it about 10 - 30 seconds and press and hold power while you tap (press and release) volume up, then release power. That will open your recovery menu.
Factory reset and should be good
Cheers and best of luck
Feel free to PM me if that doesn't work.
