Hi guys, I realize that there are several threads about this issue, but trust me, I have read them all over and over for 2 days, and nothing seems to work.
The story:
I bought a new i9505 a few days ago, and straight away wanted to root it and flash a GPE rom (becouse touchwiz makes me vomit in my mouth, so to speek). I rooted with FC-auto root, flashed a custom recovery (TWRP) and using that, flashed the GPE rom. What I did wrong, I think (tried so many things now so it's hard to remember) was not doing all the wipes before flashing the rom. It didn't boot, so I thought I would flash a stock rom with Odin. So I just flashed it (again, without any wiping), and then... darkness!
The current situation:
Right now, I cannot boot into recovery, despite numerous recovery flashes with Odin. When I try to boot into recovery (Vol up + home + power) the phone showns the galaxy logo and a small blue text in the upper left corning sating "Recovery booting..." and then just hangs. Sometimes the phone reboots.
What I have tried:
Everything, it feels like! Thankfully, the phone can enter Download Mode without any issues, so I can flash with Odin with no problems (so it seems, anyway). As my priority is to be able to boot into recovery mode, I have tried flashing them all (TWRP, CWM, phils recovery), but whenever I try to recovery boot, the phone freezes or reboots. I have tried different versions of odin (1.85, 3.07 and 3.09) and even different usb cables (but am mostly using the white original one). Odin always says that the flashing was successfull (no error messages).
I've also made sure that there are now Kies processes running in the background.
I have tried flashing the stock rom together with a pit-file. Again, the flashing seems to go just fine, but the phone wont boot afterwards (hangs at the galaxy logo). The recovery wont start (hangs as the galaxy logo, but with the blue text saying "booting recovery).
I've tried fallowing all the different tips about how to use the buttons to enter recovery; hold them all untill the recovery starts, or release the all just when the tiny blue text appears, and even release the power button but keep holding down vol-up+home, but there is no difference. I think that as long as the blue text comes up, the phone is actually trying to boot into recovery, so I don't think my fingers being too slow or too fast is the issue.
I've tried flashing things in all kinds of orders, for example;
flash pit file alone, check only f.reset and re-partition. when it says pass, remove battery, reinsert it, boot in odin mode again, flash firmware alone as pda, check only f.reset and auto-reboot.

flash a stock ROM via Odin 3.07 but don't reboot, then manually power-off and reboot back into download mode and flash the CF-Auto-Root by Chainfire and then let it restart on it's own.

No difference. The recovery just wont boot.
So I'm pretty desperate. I have a 5000 Swedish crowns (you know what it costs in your country) paper weight right now
Is it time to give up, or is there anything more I can try?

which rom GPE you have flashed? in the description was reported as compatible with gt-i9505 or S4 intl?
This one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272
But the rom is not my primary concern right now, I need to get recovery (any recovery) working.
Try this: pull battery for a couple of minutes, flash stock MGA with Odin, NO PIT FILE. After flashing let the phone sit for some time (sometimes up to 10 minutes). If after 10 minutes the phone doesn't start, press and hold ONLY the power button until the phone reboots and let it try to boot on its own.

So you mean I should uncheck "auto reboot" in Odin, flash the stock rom, and after the flashing is done, unplug the phone and pull out the battery, then after 10 minutes, put in the battery and turn it on like normal?
Why would it help leaving it off for 10 minutes? (Not meaning to sound sarcastic, it's a genuine question.) I have never waiting between flashing and rebooting (as most of the time, Odin auto-reboots the phone after flash).
But shouldn't I forget about roms for now, and just focus on trying to get a recovery working? As I understand it, the rom and the recovery are actually completely independent from each other, right? So shouldn't I try to somehow flash for example CWM somehow (in a way that I haven't tried already, I guess)?

I think missunderstood you before, this is what I did now:
The phone was unplugged and without the battery since yesterday. I put in the battery and booted it into download mode. Flashed a stock rom (I9505XXUBMF8_I9505VDSBMF1_VDS) and after Odin said "PASS!" and rebooted, I let it hang at the samsung logo for about 10 minutes, no effect. Rebooted manually using just the power button and let it hang for a few minutes more, nothing

I don't know how many times I've flashed it by now, but it simply wont boot
How exactly did you flash it?
I'll try flashing with another computer tonight, that's the only thing I have left to try.

before installing android 4.3, i flashed advance philz touch recovery then flashed 4.3, i already have flashed 2 android 4.3 both by jamal and omega but after 2-3 days of used, the phone just shut down and won't boot. it just keeps on booting up to samsung galaxy s 4 then shuts down so i had to flash back world premiere odex xxubgma pre rooted. i'll stick to this because omega v9 gives me a lot of fc's.

I thought the only way to flash the stock recovery was by flashing a stock rom! Is it availible somewhere for download?
I really cant do anything at all without being able to boot into recovery.

I had trouble getting into recovery when I first had my S4.
Try holding power+volume up+home and as soon as you see the blue writing let go of the power button but keep volume up and home pressed. That's how I always boot into recovery now.
You can also try without home button. So just hold volume up+power, that's worked for some people.
Again if this doesn't work try releasing power butto as soon as blue writing appears so your only holding power up.
And if all this fails try flashing the latest .tar.md5 version of Philz recovery in PDA section of Odin and try again

Thanks Obagleyfreer, I tried all the different button combinations, including the ones you mentioned, but the phone behaves the same, shows the blue text, and after a few secons, reboots. I't actually started booting Phils recovery once or twice, I could see the CWM logo, but it hubg there for a while, and then rebooted.
Yesterday, I even tried flashing from another computer, just to be sure, but no difference. If no other tips turn up today, I'll send to a service center.

thanks so much, will give it a go!
So I should flash the factory firmware, then reboot the phone into download mode again, and flash the stock rom?
Edit: Do I even need to flash the stock rom afterwards? The file you linked to is 1599.2 MB, so I assume it contains a stock rom aswell.
My plan is to flash CM10.2 if I manage to get the phone working, so it doesn't matter if the stock rom that is provided is good or not.
after flashing the factory firmware it should boot normally, because it is a factory firmware, you need to re-flash your stock rom.
EDIT:the main point now is to unbrick your device, so try to fix the issue first, after you can do whatever you want to flash, either a custom or a stock rom.

Don't throw the word Bricked around so easily, your phone is NOT bricked
You made the error, if you read properly you would see that TWRP is not yet compatible.
Reboot into download mode (take the battery out to power the phone off) , then flash CWM by chenglu (you can search for it right?)
and it should fix your issue.
Before you start messing around with a £600 + device, you may wanna read up a bit, or you're gonna have a Samsung paperweight.
Finally working again.

WOW, what a night. After countless boot loops I removed the battery and waited for a few minutes.
I put the battery back in, pressed volume down, power and home key at the same time.......and BINGO !!!
I was in Download Mode. Just flashed the leaked firmware again and didn't even loose any apps and data.
I guess lesson learnt, do your research before flashing anything.

I was trying to root my Galaxy Note 3, KitKat, SM-N900T with Odin 3.9. Everything went fine and I got the PASS! message. I disconnect the phone and I expected the automatic booting. That never happened. The screen started to flash the RECOVERING ROOTING (blue), RECOVERING IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING (red) and SET WARRANTY BIT : RECOVERY(yellow). Nothing that I did after that worked to get rid of those messages. I wonder if my new phone is bricked now or if I have a chance of recover it. Taking the battery out and putting in again plus holding all the buttons doesn't stop the messages from flashing. Please help!

It just keeps bootlooping you mean?
Keep trying to get into download mode, might be that you're catching the power button first and powering the phone back on.
Can you get into recovery ? Volume down and power/home button.
You should be able to get to one of them at least

Try this.
Remove and put battery back in, don't power on.
Hold Vol Down + Power + Home Button all at the same time until the warning message comes up then let go of the buttons. Finally press Vol Up only and you'll be in download mode. Connect phone to usb.
Flash this CF Auto root courtesy of Chainfire thru odin. Not sure if CF updated it for 4.4 but one poster said it worked for him on his Tmo.
Optionally flash a custom recovery cause you will have a stock recovery after rooting.

HI there, guys! I just read the whole thread and maybe you can help me also! I'm facing a less critical, but similar problem.
I use Omega ROM (Android 4.3 yet) and just after a reboot my device is stuck at boot animation forever. The only thing I did before rebooting was freeze S Finder using Titanium Backup (after it was enabled again because Samsung updated it a few days ago) and move some apps to SD Card using Clean Master.
The critical part is that I can't enter Recovery Mode to try to solve wiping caches because my Reactivation Lock feature is enabled, so I can't access it.
Is there anything I can do except from flashing stock ROM over Omega itself? I can't lose my files on internal storage. There are pretty important ones! =/

I have 4 sprint Note 3's I rooted with CWM for all 4 but one is "stuck" at recovery like this any time I turn it on it always tries to boot into recovery and gets stuck.
I can get into download mode. will cf auto root fix this? (trying to avoid a full odin restore)
the only thing different about this sprint note 3 that I am aware of is that its flashed to boost (if that matters it should not matter)
the other 3 went flawlessly. yes I tried to odin the cwm root a second time no change.
Thanks!!!
Thanks for the link. Just unboxed the note 3 (sprint) with version 4.3 and followed qbking77 and it was stuck on that same screen (tried it 3 times).

Maybe I'm getting dumber, or maybe it's getting more confusing to root. Seems like there's a crap load of how to root this device pages and it takes a long time to figure out which one actually works. Then once I find it, I'm faced with dead links to the downloads.
I read on many posts and comments that everyone is able to boot in download mode. My Note 3 just stuck on recovery boot and I can't get it to boot in download mode. I tried all of the suggestions about pressing three buttons, removing battery etc.

i know this thread is old....but sometimes i have to access download mode, and then chose cancel in order for it to boot. usually from recovery when i tap reboot system, it brings me back to recovery. so i have to pull the battery and button combo to download mode then cancel. does this issue have any familiarity?
Someone please help I have a Samsung note edge that I just reset through the menu settings backup and reset option and phone turned off but did not fully come back on its just sitting on black Samsung Screen and on top left corner it says recovery booting set warranty bit : recovery in blue and yellow letters and I am able to got into the download screen but I press volume down just to cancel and reboot and stars coming on but gose back to same black Samung screen. Like i said I did not try rooting it or any such thing.
Wrong forum this is not EDGE model .
Download mode and flash stock rom through Odin is generic advice .
"Recovery Booting" Bootloop fix
A few months ago, my rooted Galaxy Note 3 (sm-n900t) was force closing and freezing my apps often. So I decided to boot into recovery to clear device cache. The 'recovery booting' would appear on the screen with the logo, but after 7 seconds it would reboot normally instead of opening recovery(I had version 3.2.3.0). So I did reboot recovery with Rom Toolbox and it began bootlooping with the message:
Recovery Booting....
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
It wouldn't boot normally, in recovery or download mode.
STEPS TO FIX:
1.) Let phone Bootloop until completely dead
2.) On PC downloaded (2.8.7.0) twrp file for device from twrp.me/devices
3.) Press and hold volume down + home + power until phone reboots into download mode.
4.) Plug device into PC USB where drivers are loaded.
5.) Start Odin or Samsung Tool z3x flashing tab
6.) Load twrp in AP or PDA section and flash
7.) Phone should reboot normally!

i never flashed/rooted/modified my Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 before. Sitting on my desk, my phone turned off suddenly. At the first moment i thought, that the battery is just empty. After i charged the phone and went away, i got back and saw, that it was rebooting (the whole time?)
As i said, i got never in contact with modding/flashing, so i had to read pretty much about these things. After several days of reading and trying i did this:
Tried to get into Recovery Mode with VOL Up and Power button to wipe - "recovery is not seandroid enforcing set warranty bit recovery" in blue, red and yellow.
Flashed several Stock ROMs by Sammobile. After every flash i flashed TWRP - no change.
I get easily into Download Mode to flash the Stock ROMs, no errors in Odin, didn't check autoboot and repartition
Yesterday i flashed I9505XXUFNA5 - Open Europe - KK 4.4.2 (four-pieced) sucessfully. Then i flashed TWRP and tried to get into Recovery Mode - same results, i thought. But after i put the phone on my desk to think about what to do next, TWRP Recovery Mode was starting. I was totally happy, but didnt want to do something wrong in my euphoria. So i put out the battery to read about what to do, allthough i knew i wanted to do a wipe. After i read i wanted to try it again - no chance! I couldnt get into recovery mode again. I waited, nothing happened. Tried it again and again.. and again. Then i flashed the Stock ROM again, flashed TWRP again - no change. Meanwhile did this 8 times again and i didnt get into recovery mode again. Thats absolutely illogical in my opinion.
Please help me to get out of this, i dont know what to do now... THANKS
Recovery is volume up, home, and power button?

Yes, home is optional (as i read) but i press this 3 buttons. I pressed it in several variations, for example like one user here in xda: "right after it vibrates release the power button only, keep pressing the volume up and home buttons for another 5-10sec as Whosebat recommended..."
Home button is not necessary, just vol up / down + power button. I also have the same issue as you. I went to a GSM service earlier today and over there was another S4 with exactly the same issue. Looks like lifespan of our phone reached to an end?

Just speculating, but: I didnt update to the firmware version, from which you couldnt get back to the earlier versions. The reason would be some safety reasons. I thought about a relation to that for a short period of time.

I think "bump" is the word you're looking for
After you flash the stock ROM, does it actually boot into the stock recovery?

No, i have never seen the stock recovery. I was 2 times in TWRP Recovery, but meanwhile i dont get there anymore. I have no clue why i get after doing exactly the same things into TWRP Recovery and 3 minutes later i dont get there anymore.
I came two times into TWRP with flashing I9505XXUFNA5 - Open Europe - KK 4.4.2, then TWRP 2.8.6.0.
With other Stock ROMs i got never into Recovery Mode.
Please help me

So stock recovery doesn't work either?
It's really weird.
Have you tried flashing TWRP using the app Flashify (requires root)?

Unfortunately i cant start to install apps, because i am caught up in bootloop.
I tried to flash now a GT-I9505-Factory-Firmware-Full-Wipe-DBT with following files, but nothing changes except i get Warranty bit : kernel if i want to start normally without booting into recovery mode.
