Shuts off randomly after multiple ROM Flashes - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i tried my best to install cyanogen mod 12 and it eventually worked but it was so buggy, i flashed my original ROM using ODIN and now the phone just shuts off every now and then and gets stuck in a boot loop until i connect a charger, it is not the battery though as it is always around 50% when it does it, i tried Re-installing my original rom but it still continues to do it. I tried to install philz touch to be able to reset the phone for a new ROM but when i press the buttons to boot it up it just turns on, does the stuff it usually does before going into philz touch but then shuts off, can someone please help? Im going to austria in a few days and need my phone fixed for then

Hi mate
What S4 model do you have , what rom are you installing?
Do a factory reset and flash rom again
Check your power button...just in case
if you root a stock rom you have to remove all knox related files , did you?

Ah thats not good,i suppose you dont have a Nandroid either? i suggest you do a nandroid backup right now, format data & cache and try rebooting. If it still doesnt work , your /System partition may be corrupt. best to go with the above mentioned post by klebengan which would return you back to stock.
Mind you, in both cases you would lose your data. so do a nandroid right now, atleast wou would have a chance to extract important data later once you are up and running again.
BTW, This is the wrong place for this thread, it should be in Q & A and i m pretty sure there would be similar or related posts

ok, thanks for the tip but I tried to even follow the Klebengan post but the main problem is that I am not even able to go to the download mode with the volume key up and Plugin in the usb cable.
I have the flash tool and the kdz file but as i said I am not able to go to the download mode so I am not able to use the LG flash tool also.
If somebody can help me with the steps of transfering the zip file in to the phone memory I can atleast try to install the custom rom once the phone goes on and starts than I may try to flash with the kdz file.
pls help

Try this mate , boot into recovery do a factory reset/Wipe cache and then reboot and Quickly press and hold power+Voldown in order to boot into downloadmode , Flash the stock rom and once its done... the phone should reboot automatically , and then Hold and press Power+VolumeUP that should boot your phone into recovery mode... Now do a factory reset/wipe cache and reboot your phone.. .Before the initial setup, Just dont do anything to your phone for atleast 4 to 5 minutes, Let it settle and then proceed with the initial setup.

I would suggest reflashing your firmware. To do this, go to sammobile.com and download the correct firmware for your device/region. Then go in to download mode on your phone by turning the phone off and holding Home + Volume down + Power button. Then loading your firmware into odin and flash. I think if I am not mistaken odin 1.85 is suggested for use (Please someone correct me of I am wrong). If I havent been clear enough how to use odin, please refer to many of the online guides!
Hope this solves your problem.

Hello, thanks a lot for the quick answer i was reading some posts and the firmware is already downloading.. so i think im in the correct way to solve it.. so thank you, i post later what happened.
Next time you have an ads popup problem, use MalwareBytes...
LOL... Factory reset wipes most data but when you format system you REALLY need to have a firmware ready to re-install... Is like formatting your system drive in your PC and expecting it to work without an OS installed...
I solve the issue, of course was the firmware that i didnt re-instaled. I have a question, i downloaded the firmware that is for my country AND for the cellphone provider.. and was jelly bean 4.3 BUT there was another firmware for my country but didnt say nothing about the company and it was kitkat 4.4 ... i installed the jeally bean.. but could i install the kitkat firmware?

[Q] Trying to factory restore the phone and nothing seems to work

So last night I tried installing a custom boot animation for my Samsung Galaxy S4, but I somehow misread the instructions and deleted some files in the /system/media directory. After a restart I noticed that I was led to a boot screen that has the Samsung logo and a padlock with custom written on the screen, after this screen passes there is darkness for a minute or so then the phone is booted into, yeah sounds okay, right? Well, after that happened I realized that my lock button won't actually lock the phone, the phone will actually continuously stay on, no matter what settings I tell the phone to lock, it's as if locking the screen now is not an option, but the lock button works if I hold it down which will give me the option to shutdown go into airplane mode and restart. I then proceeded to see if I could restore the phone to factory settings by going into the settings to factory restore but that doesn't do anything, just restarts the phone. After that I tried hard resetting which didn't work either, I wasn't even led to the GUI for hard resetting. I'm running a stock ROM on 4.4.2 Kit Kat that's rooted, an At&t I337 model. I'd just really like to factory reset the phone and I'm not sure what to do? Thanks.

If factory reset doesn't work all you need to do it is flash the stock firmware again.. So that would restore all the system files again, if u flash the official one you would have to root the phone again, or u can just install a custom ROM.
Hit thanks if I helped!

You would need Odin to flash the ROM, and a stock firmware for ur particular phone and region available at sammobile.com or you would just find one in the android development thread of this forum and the Odin just google it..

Help!wifi and bluetooth not working!

It started suddenly a day after I installed a custom rom,all i get is wifi is turning on...same for bluetooth,3g works tho.I tried factory reset,same problem,i also tried installing another custom rom but same.When I intalled the new custom rom I did all the wipes needed(format system data cache...).Do you think it's a hardware issue?
If you're still running the custom ROM, try to reinstall it but do not do the wipes, just reinstall and reboot. Good luck.

Still the same!how much will it cost to fix the issue?
Which Note 3 do you have and which custom ROM are you using? Try installing a different or stock ROM and see if the problem still persists.

What do you mean default ???
Default is whatever you flashed last .
You have done something that has broken it firmware wise hopefully .
So i suggest you boot to recovery Mounts and Storage .
Format system data cache .
Boot to download mode and flash stock rom through Odin .

Say According to the technical service is that my problem is hardware (wifi-bluetooth module) is the same module for both functions. It is difficult to repair because if it goes wrong you lose your phone or get a new motherboard.
Your problem seems software but does not work with stock firmware.
you have to buy another phone or change the motherboard if you use a lot these functions.
There is a possibility that the EFS folder was modified.
so it is recommended to back up this folder periodically changing ROM
I excused my English (google translator) I think the idea is understood ...
