Pull the battery, wait 30 sconds. If you have a Jig insert it in the phone`s usb port to get into download mode. If not press volume down and the power button and you will get into downloadmode and then flash a stock rom with Odin. See item 1 and 2 of my signature.

It's Not Working !
nothing happend

Did this happen after using Kies? If it did (and you weren't rooted), you could either take it back to the store where you purchased it or get in touch with Samsung for a warranty repair.

pull of battery -->plug usb jig --> pull battery --> download mode --> unplug usbjig --> odin flash stock firmware

...sounds like an OTA bricked your phone. If that's the case (and you don't have a jig), you've definitely need to take it back to where you got it.

A totally legit brick by the sounds of it.
Take it to service for fix or replace. Easy

You said you changed bootloader. If u have the new bootloader from android 4.3 you cant come back to the old bootloader of android 4.2.2. You will have to flash Android 4.3 Stock Rom

Brick S4 I9505, really NO SOLUTION??? €10 via Paypal to solve

€10 via Paypal to who really help me to solve this problem!
It's a promise!!!​
Hi, I've a serious problem with my S4 and I hope you can help me to solve it:good:...
I had a samsung stock 4.3 with frequent crash and soft reboot, so i decided to do a wipe (in setting menu), but nothing change.
Then I've flash the KK fw I9505XXUFNB8_I9505BTUFNB3_I9505XXUFNB8_HOME.tar.md5 without pit and re-partition, the process was complete without error but the phone wasn't started and remain stuck on Samsung Galaxy s4. In recovery there are these errors:
Recovery 3e
Philz Touch Recovery
I've retry many many many time to do a wipe data and cache in recovery, try to flash many other firmware with and without pit file, change recovery, flash in odin only pda and with 4 files with/without pit, but i can't find a solution...every time i've the same errors and the phone doesn't start...
If I poll out the battery for a long time (at least 5-6 hours), sometimes start with animated Samsung logo and music and with the control of the installed application, but during the progress it crashes and I must reboot :crying:
Thank you!!!
[sorry for my bad english]

You need to flash a 4.3 UNA4 for this device Links, You cannot flash a GT-i9505 since the product code for this device is GT-I9505DKYSER

Ok, because s4 black mist and s4 black edition are 2 different devices....when download is finished, finally i'll try...

i dont understand where the problem is ?
first of all you need to know your Model Number, for example : i9505, after that you search for an Odin Rom, like I9505XXUFNB8_I9505BTUFNB3_I9505XXUFNB8_HOME.tar.md5. Then you reboot your device in "DOWNLOAD mode", flash the Odin Rom via Odin and everything is fine...
Your problem is, you dont even know what device you got and you try to flash something you have found in here... thats really not that intelligent...

Yeah, you right. @Repulsa was pasting u this link, but Im not sure about coz I was reading this:
"This firmware build has the same changelist to the later update of the original Galaxy S4 LTE GT-I9505 with has the firmware build numbers I9505XXUEMKF. So again, those who got the dark-blue Black Mist and off-white White Frost Galaxy S4 I9505 variants should refrain from installing this firmware build for this is not for your LTE GT-I9505 devices. If you read somewhere else that this is an update for your device you may already have seen it on Kies or OTA. Kies will only tells you that you have the latest software update if you currently runs on Android 4.3 I9505XXUEMKF. Again, those who got the original GT-I9505 LTE, this update is only rolled out in Nordic regions for now, but let’s wait and see this coming few days if we may also have this update arrive in our areas."

Eyy, you dont get it, arent you ? I got the same device like you, an international S4 Black mist model number : i9505. Noone is talking about a black or red or yellow edition .... whats your model number ? remove your battery and look it up..
If you flashed this rom :
I9505XXUFNB8_I9505BTUFNB3_I9505XXUFNB8_HOME.tar.md 5

then you should be fine, cause i did it myself and everything was working correctly, so my next thought is that you dont even got the i9505, because this rom should work just like every other rom.

@Cateye It seems like you're trying to flash the wrong firmware. You've download XXU firmware but your firmware might be XCU.
Do you've any knowledge about this? If your phone boots go to About Phone nd give screenshot.

Printed model is : SM-N9005
In about info phone model is : SM-N900S

The real model # can be found by putting the phone into download mode.

In that case SM-N900S

I recommend flashing the latest stock ROM for the sm-n900s with Odin.
The printed model # sm-n9005 is on the label under the battery?

Thanx

If the label under the battery says sm-n9005 and download mode says sm-n900s, it appears that you have a "frankenphone" whereby the phone is put together with different parts from different models of the Note 3.
Is this the ROM you tried to flash: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note3/SM-N900S/SKT/download/N900SKSU0GPI1/98062/ ?
Did you perform a factory reset after flashing the phone but before booting the phone for the first time?

If everything works on a stock ROM, you try flashing TWRP using Odin. This will allow you to backup the existing ROM and flash a custom ROM.
