[Q] S4 Doen't reboot. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a major issue.:silly:
I have a S4 with the latest Lollipop firmware.
Because te sound of the headset is to low I wanted to make it
louder by changing these 2 files.
snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3
snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3_auxpcm
Problem is that these file where saved as TXT and put back in the location.
The S4 did not reboot anymore.
I did a factory reset and still it doens't reboot. KIES doesn't recognize the S4
Does anybody know what I should do?
Please help:good:

Are you still able to get into download mode? If so, download a stock firmware image from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com and flash it through Odin. Make sure you download one appropriate to your model number, which will be found beneath the battery.

Soft Bricked Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-i337M Rogers Canada

So to make long story short, I was on Official 4.3, then I rooted it, then installed CyanogenMod, by going here: beta.download.cyanogenmod(DOT)org/install
Then I wanted to go back to OFW, so I re flashed 4.2.2 and my WiFi didn't work, so I found out I got the older version of Android I wanted 4.3, so I re download it and it goes thru, and EVERYTIME it fails at the end, right after a file called "aboot.mbn". I'm getting all my firmware from Sammobile.com. What can I do?! I also tried a .pit file, and Samsung Kies, nothing works, I'm using the original cord I've tried different ports, and everything. Works fine with the older version of Android, but it does not update to 4.3 and the WiFi STILL doesn't work. HELP! It has shown a error saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". However I can get into Download mode, but not recovery mode.
Thanks in advance!

SOLVED! Can't flash new firmware i9505

Hi guys,
I've wrote another thread with no response. Lemme ask like this:
i9505 with 4.3, want to flash to 4.4.2. Problem:
I can't flash any firmware, not by KIES 3 or ODIN. Both give me errors, KIES 3 saying S4 is disconnected and ODIN failing everytime, with and without pit file. Switched USB ports, KNOX is 0x0, System Status CUSTOM? Never touched it (branded).
Phone is working fine in the meantime.
Any help?
Anybody? At least tell me I can reflash the phone again...

Which firmware was the latest on your phone and which one did you try to flash?
Your phone has got an branding, right? Do you want to debrand it or just to update it? Did you want to update with a branded firmware?
What does Odin exactly day in the log?
More information please, then we can help you better.

Thanks DarkerTimes,
My firmware is i9505XXUEMK9 ver 4.3 Vodafone Spain branded.
I just want to update it to official Vodafone Spain 4.4.2 KitKat , OTA doesn't work anymore because it says my device is modified (which it isn't, at least by me?)
I can't use ODIN anymore because the phone doesn't enter download mode when I press down+menu then power, it used to a few days back tho. This is weird. So I can't tell you what ODIN says, although I remember saying something about bad partition thus I've tried flashing it when download mode worked with and without pit file without results. ODIN always told me FAIL!
Also, SDcard or system file is getting weird these days, it rescans whole library of music and Winamp crashes everytime. Reinstalled it and now it seems to work... storage chips going south?

Hi ,
step by step
Download mode , you said I press down+menu then powe I do it the 3 of them at the same time
Before using Odin kill all kies processes ( task manager), make sure no one is running in the background....
Odin troubleshooting: If Odin accidentally gives you "fail" try the following:
- Repeat procedure.
- Make sure that all actions of Kies are disabled from task manager.
- Change usb port.
- Try another usb cable (make sure it is the original).
- Try another Odin version.
- Uninstall and re-install driver.
- Use pit file.
- Try another computer.
from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
try with a different tar file , try for example the PHE unbranded version of firmware for Spain
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9505&pcode=PHE#firmware
Regarding your sdcard ...maybe so much flashing left orphan files all over a good flashing should clear that problem
Hi MAX 404
thanks for your reply
I don't have KIES installed now, I've removed it after a couple fails last week... I've tried everything the guide says beforehand, I've flashed a previously owned S2 a lot of times before. Cable is samsung original, tried different USB ports and my laptop with no success.
Also, how can do a good flashing to clear that SD behaviour? Lost here.
SOLVED! It seems I have a ton of USB ports wrecked EXCEPT one. This worked so far so good.

[Q] Somebody give me SCL23's build.prop(original)

I changed build.prop
My android phone is SCL23
AKA Galaxy S5
I am Korean but now I live in Japan for work.
So I used GalaxyS5 for KDDI AU
Some application didn't work on my phone.
Even impossible to install
So I tried to root. Then changed model and vendor from GalaxyS5 to Galaxy S4
But it didn't work for using those apps
So I copy all of texts of build.prop of GalaxyS4.
Then my phone dead.
AU's logo is the only thing I can see.
Before did that
I had do googling and find SCL23's CWM with Chinese letters.
It works well.
Factory reset? YES
Boot? NO
Can not normal boot
Odin mode
I connected phone to PC.
Fail to install USB driver.
I think it cause of phone's hardware and build.prop is not same.
I have external SDCard.
Odin work via USB
And I can go into CWM recovery mode.
So I think if I can find .zip, able to flash, of SCL23's build.prop
I can copy it into extsdcard with friend's android
Then go into CWM and flash it.
I need SCL23's build prop
And somebody make it .zip please
I don't know how to make it.
Please help me.
And thank you for read this poor English.

[Q] Canadian S4 5.0.1 - WiFi Won't turn on

At wits end, but can't get my WiFi to turn on at all.
The setup l had before was stock Bell 4.4.2 but rooted and TWRP (with backups).
Forgot to turn off (replacement phone, forgot to turn off), auto-updates. Phone tried to update to 5.0.1 but failed, telling me to use Kies. Had to flash in Kies as my phone got stuck in Samsung's boot logo. Before plugging into Kies, l tried wipe cache, battery out, and then wipe/reset, none worked. So l plugged into Kies, it did it's thing. Went smooth. Now, my wireless just won't turn on at all. Rooted it with CF AutoRoot. Went to wpa_supplicant folder, to find l don't have the .conf file. Renamed the folder, power cycles, system created the folder but no file again. Created a file named "wpa_supplicant.conf" and power cycled, renamed it, system didn't create it again. So l think l found the issue but any fix to this? Maybe running the wrong version, even though l have stock Bell apps (how l missed them )
MODEL SGH-I337M
VERSION 5.0.1
BASEBAND I337MVLUFNI2
KERNEL 3.4.0-4508315 [email protected] #1
BUILD LRX22C.I337MVLUGOC4
KNOX 2.3 (TRIPPED)
Side note: I do get a WiFi MAC address that appears valid (haven't compared to my router logs) under status.
=================
Update I FIXED IT! YAY!
For those who are having the same issue. Do the following steps:
Download Odin 3 - Make sure Kies isn't running
Verify ID COM has a number like COM0 or something.
Leave everything else alone.
Download ROM from SamMobile or another ROM site Link (filtered to Bell)
Unplug phone
Place phone into download mode (Vol Down, Home, Power)
Using Odin, hit PDA and put the ROM in, give it some time
Plug phone in, and verify COM and message saying ADDED!!
Start it, then give it some time.
If you want to root it, do the same procedures but grab CF-Auto-Root and repeat it. Easy root.
Optional stepsbut l did it anyways:
Before doing this, l rooted it with CF Chain, and installed TWRP. Wiped Cache, Dalvik, System.
Hello dear friend
i wanted to thank you for your solution and specially download links, had the exact same issue which was resolved by the solution you provided.
I recommend flashing with Odin and a stock ROM from Sam mobile.com. kies has never worked for me so no now stick with Odin.

HELP!!!

Hi,
I recently purchased a Galaxy Tab 4.0 Lite (SM-T337a). I successfully rooted it using Kingoroot but upon restart the entire operating system seems to be gone. It is an overseas tablet (AT&T) that I got through the classifieds here in Australia.
There was nothing on there so I am not worried about losing data, I just want to be able to restore some form of OS onto it.
I can get into Android System Recovery <3e> and have tried installing the stock firmware through the SD card, but so far nothing has worked. I'm also having trouble getting my PC/Mac to identify it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

download this and make the process
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862688251
you have to flash the official firmware that you can find in sammobile and flash it whith odin. it should that your device is in download mod : down key home and power bottom on the boot
Look for the stock firmware for your model in this thread or somewhere in SamMobile, the language specified doesn't matter anyway cause you can always change that in setup but make sure that you've got the right one for your tablet. Then flash them using Odin
