[Q] Bootloop on my sgh-i337m with rom stock (Telcel)

Hello to all the community ..
I'm desperate with my cell phone, I have a galaxy s4 (sgh-I337m) and stopped working today ..
I had the cell phone connected to the charger, when the battery finished charging disconnect the cable and cell phone was shut down automatically.
Try to turn on the phone again, but I get into a bootloop, samsuns logo appears and restarts again .. :crying:
I searched a lot about the problem, all posts recommend entering the recovery and make the respective wipes, but in my case I can not do that, the phone does not go into recovery mode.
The download mode works perfectly.
With odin flashie the last official firmware for my cell phone, the installation is correct and odin did not mark any error, but the phone still with the same problem again and can not enter the recovery mode, but can enter download mode .. .
Also try installing a custom recovery, but again can not go into recovery mode.
Any solution for this?
PD: Sorry for my English ..

Well I'm not sure if you've tried these yet but I'll give it a shot. If you're on 4.2 / 4.2.2 I would look at this thread. If you're on 4.3 I'd look at this thread. It should resolve your bootloop / brick issues from occuring in the future if it ever happens again. Hope this helped you out somewhat.

It does seem like you've tried everything. However, try this: unplug your phone and try to enter recovery mode by pressing the power button and volume up button simultaneously until you see "Booting recovery..." in blue at the top left when the screen turns on. Once you see that, release the buttons IMMEDIATELY. Sometimes the phone reboots in normal mode if you try to boot into recovery mode with the phone plugged in.

Thanks for responding.
My cell phone can not enter the recovery.
Booting recovery appears blue, but the phone rebooted again.
What else can I try to fix the error?

Please i need help..
I don't know what else can do

I also have gs4 I337m. important to note that flashing a custom recovery will trip knox, and void the warranty. when you bootbinto download mode, look for knox lines. good is 0x0, warranty void is 0x1.
download jellybean 4.3 from Samsung-updates.com. be sure to use the region code for your carrier.
perform a factory wipe before starting via stock recovery. use odin and make sure to copy any .ini files included in the stock firmware to your odin folder before flashing. this is important step, if.ini file exists. overwrite if you have another ini file from a previous package already in odin.
use pda button to browse to extracted package. img file and be sure to tick *only* auto reboot and f reset flags.
flash. once successful, boot back into stock recovery and perform another factory reset. this is important to clear any left over munged up sys and usr data.
if all of this still fails, use kies3 and the emergency recovery option. wizard based and will also flash back to factory if odin isnt writing. make sure you have the latest samsung drivers before starting, and make sure you use another usb cable other than the one you've been bad flashing with. use another computer if possible, or at least another usb port to rule out bad cable/usb port.
barring all of that, you can use an unbrick package. i have the files to load via adt if needed. i just ran the script to produce the unbrick files, script isnt mine, from another xda dev.
of you arent comfortable using adt, then find your local best buy, they will repair for free most cases, small nominal fee for tripped knox flags or other carriers.
message me for the unbrick files if you need them. via pm. i wont dump them here.

oh, and remove kies when flashing with odin. i would uninstall entirely, and also remove the usb drivers, and install latest from Samsung/attaching phone after uninstall from device manager. if u have questions, just ask. kies will interfere with odin, its happened to me.

Try connecting your phone when its in download and try with Odin, if it recognize your device than just flash stock rom.

Try a different version of Odin first. For me only 3.09 and upwards works.

Install Samsung kies 3 to make the phone recognizable by pc and try flashing stock firmware with odin 3.09

First of all, you should download the drivers and stock rom from Sammobile.
Found the drivers here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/k93a92c9rpyg4r5/Samsung-Usb-Driver-v1.5.55.0.exe
(not sure if they work, go and ahead install them and boot to download mode, then see, if odin recognizes it)
Latest Odin download: http://odindownload.com/
If the drivers work and your device is connected to the computer(also boot into download mode) and odin recognizes it:
1) Choose bootloader, then search for your downloaded firmware.
2) Head to the options tab and tick "Nand Erase All", "Phone EFS Clear" and "Phone Bootloader Update".
3) Then hit start and wait it to finish.
It should delete everything on your phone, restore it like it came out of the box.
If the drivers don't work let me know, I'll search for other working ones.

Hard brick SM-N910F

Tried installing custom recovery didn't work out like I had hoped now im stuck with a phone that isn't detected by odin or kies but by MiFlash
Please tell me there is something I can do to fix it or get it to some sort of working order..? Is there a jtag tool or usb jig I can use?
Update - I found out the phone was still under warranty so I sent it away to be repaired. It was repaired and I now have a working phone !

What have you done to reach that state? I know that you're desperate but you must give some details if you want help.

It was given to me with 5.1.1 installed however it failed mid process and while on 5.1.1 it kept freezing and acting weird such as boot with weird errors and they only appeared after it was updated, I decided to root it with odin and it never fully rebooted after the was root applied. I finally got it to boot to stock and rooted and decided to install a custom recovery which was twrp while selecting the recovery it said if its a wrong location it will brick, with this in mind I checked the model with the one on their site and it seemed to make sense and applied it.
This caused the original problem which made it boot straight to download mode with it saying it could not normal boot. I then googled the problem and one said the pit was corrupted and downloaded the correct file. I then applied this through odin with stock firmware and it refuse to flash. At the time I was thinking a restart on the device would help, but it resulted in not booting at all and not being detected....
It does not light up or make a vibration when its connected or powered on if there is any solution it would be great...

Can anyone help or point in the right direction?

Hard brick SM-910F
Hello! If this is the good recovery for the N910F he would have from start.
Try to boot via the recovery flight up + home + power.
If you TWRP flash a custom in a first time rom

Can you tell us if you can get on recovery screen, either TRWP or stock, or download mode.

You could try installing these drivers:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762636000789
Reboot just in case and try to connect your device again.
(In download mode, with the key combination)

Always first do a complete search on xda, because there's always someone else who had the same problem earlier. This question has been asked a gazillion times. Thats not too big a problem. If you follow correctly, you'll be able to unbrick it in no time. Follow this tutorial and first try the third method. If that doesn't work then try the second one.

You will need to download the original firmware and reflash with Odin, that will fix this error.

To enter 'Download Mode' and recover from the error:
Connect a USB cable to your Laptop/PC.
With power-off on the device, hold down BOTH 'Volume Up' and 'Volume Down'.
Connect the USB cable to the device, while holding down both volume keys, and press 'Power'.
If done correctly, the device will boot to 'Download Mode'.

Hi. Thank you for replying but it doesn't help. Every time i get same screen.
Believe me i did correctly.

Bro its literally easy

I have flashed tweaked rom on my SM-T820. It worked for a good 6 months and then this error has started to happen. Can reboot once or twice then the security error happens. I then need to reflash original firmware and then twrp, tweaked and repeat. Is there a way to stop this happening?

And if this is done, the cell phone data, photos, etc. are not deleted?

Please use English on XDA, per Article 4 of the Forum Rules.
Booting into download mode will not wipe data.

thanks

I have the same problem after trying to flash TWRP on a sm-t295 - tab A.
It seems I need to flash the original firmware - T295XXU4CUF7.
Do you know where can I get it? UK variant.
Thanks
