that's just a soft brick...
If u have orignal bill and have not rooted the phone before,go to a Samsung care and have it fixed.
Dont mess with it anymore,u may trip Knox,resulting in warranty void
edit:wait,u have custom system status,download a 4.4.2 for ur region and flash it

1. Uninstall completely the Samsung drivers.
2. Download and install THIS ones.
3. Try with other USB port to flash the firmware 4.4.2 again.
4. Good luck :highfive:

are u worried abt ur warranty?
coz if u flashed stock 4.3 then knox was installed too ..
and with knox tripped, u loose ur warranty ..
If u don't care abt that, wipe clean everything then flash any rom, it will do fine..

Hey guys,
I got jamals google edition installed on my S4 and when I forgot to charge it and I started the device I got a bootloop. I dont know why, but I also could´t get into the recovery mode, so I flashed an originial Samsung firmwar via Odin on my S4 (4.4.2)
After that, it restarted but I got a "android.process.acore has stopped" message and I couldn't use the S4 because the message kept popping up and the S4 automatically restarted and when it restarted the message appeared again, so i had a very strange loop i couldnt interrupt. So i flashed another 4.4.2 firmware and also again the same firmware, but nothing helped, I still got the message and the S4 kept restarting.
So I flashed the Omega Pre-rooted 4.4.2 firmware via odin (and the exact same thing happened). But whats strange is, that before it started it said "updating 1 of 172 apps) so that must mean, that even though I flashed 3 firmwares via Odin, my apps somehow stayed on the S4? And also the wallpaper was the same wallpaper I had before, what was very strange.
Then I installed Philz CWM Recovery because I waned to perform a factory reset. But after I installed it and tried to get into recovery mode, I couldn't and only this was displayed :
Recovery Booting...
Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing
Set Warranty Bit: recovery
So it seems like nothing works and I'm getting really desperate, does anyone of you has an idea how to fix this? Otherwise I guess my S4 is bricked
Regards and thanks for your help

I'm assuming you know about KNOX now that you've flashed an official firmware you will have KNOX and you've already tripped KNOX by installing recovery but you won't be able to use a lower version firmware just bare that in mind when flashing official stock again.

@BlackMonkey It happened to me several times. What I had to do: flashed the stock ANE2 rom from sammobile (it allows to download for free, but it is slow). Flashed the BL and CP from ANE2 (I don't remember where I found it but it was on google. Actually, you should try the next step first, as I am not sure that it is required). Rebooted in recovery mode. Wiped cache. Rebooted. Root with towelroot. Install mobile odin. Flashed rom with option everroot. And you got lollipop in knox 0x0. Once in lollipop, mobile odin as failed each time for me, the same as you describe. It could be an issue with rom that use AROMA which are not supported. I had to use flashfire which works great.
ps : i did that as I wanted to keep knox 0x0. If you don't, you should install TWRP.

Thank you for your answer. I alredy did exactly this because i wanted to use again my phone and didnt see other solution. I hoped for a solution without a factory reset but it was necessary. Lost some picture and messages and have work for some hours So at that point be warned:
DON'T USE MOBILE ODIN WITH LOLLIPOP!!!
The problem is MOP doesn't support Lollipop.
So if u want to save data flash via odin the same rom but stock.
Hi everybody.
I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 (6) 2016 (SM-A510F) with android 6.0.1.
I tried to root with CF-Auto Root and did everything as supposed to. But when the phone reboot it says always recovery is not seandroid enforcing.
So I did the same procedure again with the ODIN always and I unchecked the AUTO Reboot. But now ODIN says with green letters RESET. Did i just reset my phone?
I flashed the same file. I followed the procedure to the letter as said in the CF-AutoRoot thread. But I can;t understand whats wrong. I always use to root my phones but was Sony not Samsung. :crying:
What can I do?
The phone now suppose to be 6.0.1 or 5 android version? If it reseted it fully i mean.
Plus my knox warranty void number is 1. So that means that the first time worked but i didnt know what to do after that message.
Is the Ashyx method [TWRP 3.0.2-1][ROOT] GALAXY A5(2016) - sm-a510 - UPDATE 5/4/2016 capable of rooting my phone now? Or i have to put the stock rom inside and after try to root?
Save me please! I hope i didnt brick it.
Thanks a lot guys. I hope for a quick response! xx

If your device is bricked and not getting it back with Odin, try out the smart switch from samsung, there youll have EMERGENCY RECUPERATION, which leaves your device as it was.

The smart Switch requires the S/N but I don't have it anymore! Is there any way I can find it?
