Hi,
This is my first venture into phone mod-ing and I appear to have failed at the first hurdle
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 (EE UK sim locked), That was happily working on cyanogenmod 10 a few days ago but I bought a Sim unlock code and found it wouldn't take it.
So in my infinite wisdom I decided to reflash back to a stock Rom (I9505XXUGNI2_I9505EVRGNI2_EVR to be precise)
Now this appeared to be turning on and working except from the WiFi so again I researched a bit and found it was due to the modem version so I reflashed the above as a modem install. This is where things got tricky as now the phone is stuck in a loop on boot where it is trying to initialise the android apps and crashes out.

I have tried reflashing the rom PDA back still same issue. I also tried CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505 same issue and I9505ZHUFNB3_MODEM.tar as a replacement modem.
I'm at the point I don't know what to try next I can still flash the phone but don't know what software to use and ultimately I need to get the device sim unlocked and with a good working rom.
CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE?

No idea. But it will get you started. It's probably a proces of trial and error.
Ok so I have a working phone again,
Next problem the sim unlock code I have from simDoctor advises that the 'EFS' files may be blocking the unlock code.....is this possible? if so is there any way to restore them? I don't have a backup of this :-/

Hi,
Same thing happened to me. There are 3 problems;
First is that you do not have enouch battery power to run RDS.
Second is that you have to load SBF file again with RDSLite.
Third is that you have to unlock your bootloader not to have the same situation.
But to make you feel happy, I can say that your phone is not bricked.
We shall go step by step for your problems. First of all, do you have second battery or can you supply it because it is necessary to overcome second and third problem ?

Hi,
Please use search.
Thanks,
I'm having the same problem "failed to boot 2". Minus the battery part.
I did all the following steps a few months ago to update to the new gingerbread firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
Claims I would have an unlocked bootloader, root, and CWM. Which, I have root, CWM, and evidently still on a locked bootloader per a post I read on androidforums.
I'm lost as I've been reading so much that I've done confused myself on what I should actually do, and feel worse off than I was before I started reading.
Overall, my phone works fine. I just wanted to flash a different ROM. I'm just not sure where to start to fix my problem (redo all the steps in the post I linked up, or flash a whole other SBF file). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Please help during flashing stock firmware got error and mobile can not start just logo displays.

Errors whie flashing and now I'm stuck
Even I got some errors while flashing the stock rom of Moto G4 Plus as I had a bootloop while rooting. I downloaded the file G4_XT1641-XT1643_ATHENE_6.0.1_MPJ24.139-13.1_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml_2 from FileFactory. Though my phone booted successfully but there is no wifi, bluetooth, cellular network, imei number etc are working/showing. I formatted as well as re flashed the device but still no success. I'm stuck now. Can any body provide me any other link for stock rom which isn't uploaded at FileFactory. Please help devs

Vipul try this it solved my issues also. Don't see about file name It contains all Indian devices firmware for Moto G4 Plus http://www.filefactory.com/file/64moez43420x/XT1626-XT1640-XT1641_ATHENE_6.0.1_MPJ24.139-23.1_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
Yes this worked for me as well.. Thought I found the solution before you quoted.. Still thanks for replying
This is very strange...
Okay, it's the second Nexus 4 that I own (my other one works well, even has Nougat installed on it)
For some reason, it only works on Jellybean version 4.2.2, I've tried to update it to all of the factory updates and yet it gets stuck on a endless boot loop at the start. Very weird.
I've tried to wipe the cache: it does nothing.
I've also tried to Side-load a custom ROM: it still does not work.
I've tried to update it via 4.2.2: it still does not work
I've made a 3 hours research on the internet and yet I found nothing. It's very weird that it does this, and I'm probably the only one who has this problem.
The reason why I am working on making this phone work, despite having a working one with version 7, is because I wanted to gift it to my sister. Yet, I find Jellybean a bit too old for this phone, and would also be cool to have all the features that is include in either Lollipop or Marshmallow.
It would be awesome if someone who found a solution to this problem, to share it with us.

Have you tried flashing factory images? I think that must work

Fix
I just just fixed it!
I've realized that the screws where missing on the bottom, so I've opened the phone. I took the plastic shield off and realized that the Earphone Jack was not plugged. After plugging it back, I tried the update thinking it might be the solution and it is!
So basically what android does, it initializes the hardware while booting. It discovered that there is a component missing, so it got stuck on the initialization.
Thank you for trying to help c:
I still appreciate it!
The Australian Version of S8+ (SM-G955F- XSA) had no firmware update ( AQG5), however, I just notice on Sammobile that there is update AQG7. according to the code of the update, it's more current than AQG5. and was released 2 days before AQG5.

3 days ago i attempted to install twrp and root to an s8 950f in australia installed with that update, the AQG7. Needless to say all attempts failed, luckily it left the device unharmed. For the last 72hrs ive attempted to find a solution. Thankyou for observation. You have given me an answer. Patience, till someone better than i solves this hurdle.

I have tried many ways offered via xda and google search
to show up this setting and none seems to work.
- 7 days method
- fix No OEM Unlock by removing SIM
- etc.
What can i do to unlock the bootloader to
- install TWRP
- install LineageOS
- install root etc.
Thanks for your support.
Have you already tried connecting to the internet and checking for an update?
I'm a few days beyond this step, and this vid seemed to help me on a Tab A SM-T295. Lots of stupid back and forth stuff but hey I got there in the end
I tried this steps several times no sucess with it. Also no software update available.
Now i am looking for a general software image from samsung (no Vodafone stuff) to install it with Odin.

It appears you have a tablet that is locked by the carrier. You may need to get Vodafone to unlock it.
