Help! Just softbricked my gs4! - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

So i was trying to upgrade cyanogenmod 10 to 12.1. So i download a cm rom off of the intenet and put it onto a micro sd card. I boot my gs4 up into recovery mode and try to update it. And the screen turns black. I try to boot up my gs4 normally and it gets stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy IV" Logo. So, i turn it off and try to boot into recovery mode. The "Samsung Galaxy IV" Logo flashes for about 1 second and then dissapears. So i go on the internet and get the stock samsung rom and try to flash it using odin3. It doesnt work. I already backed up everything i wanted prior to all of this. At this point i just want to get my phone back up and running again. Any Help??

[Q] My i9505 stuck logo" samsung galaxy S4..."

hi, today, My i9505 stuck logo" samsung galaxy S4...".
I tried to start a firmware from the Odin app
When I restart my devices can't start, on display "samsung galaxy s4 GT-i9505"
I tried to do the process from rooting the phone, with odin without any luck.
I cant boot into recovery volume up + home + power. It only comes a red pirate android. And it reboots to the Samsunng logo again?
Is there any hope for me?
Please help

Hi Terje
I had almost the same issue since yesterday with my Gt-i9505, with the only exception that recovery mode was still accessable. But everytime i tried to restore a prevoius backup i was stuck again in the logo screen.
Sadly I can't provide you with a link directly since i don't have enough posts. But try to google "droidview unbrick galaxy S4"
My galaxy is finally working again. It is an easy and well written tutorial, so I hope it will help you too.
Good luck!
you don't have to go to recovery, but into download mode and try to reflash with Odin. One thing to be careful: you need to make sure that Odin recognizes the phone...

flash a recovery TWRP
wipe /data /system /cache /dalvik
then flash a fresh/latest firmware through odin and remove mem card and sim card re-insert

A. You may have flashed the wrong rom (wrong model). If so you need to reodin (search for odin to stock).
Edit: Before you odin I would pull the battery. Allow the phone to sit for 30 min without the battery in it during that time... ENSURE the battery had enough power to odin before you try it.
B. Or You are in the wrong thread (this is for At&t and your splash screen is international model)
Flashing anything from the 9500 is a no no on the Snapdragon models man. As the guy above said you need to Odin stock rom. Since you were able to flash a rom through recovery you weren't on a locked bootloader. So Odin the amdl stock tar in the pda slot

[HELP]

I had an AOKP rom on my sph-l720 and was working properly. Then I tried to install this stock rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486134
Somewhere around the time i was flashing the rom from within mobile odin, my phone stopped booting.
Now on boot i see the Samsung s4 logo screen then phone turns off. If I try to boot into recovery, i see the blue writing "Recovery Booting..." but then phone turns off again.
Can someone help me atleast get back to recovery so I can try flashing another rom and get my phone running properly again.
I can get into download mode and have tried flashing TWRP a few times with odin which says it PASSED then phone restarts and turns off again.
Anyone have any advice for me?
Thanks!
Personally, I think I would go into download mode and odin back to stock. Then if you want you can reroot and flash another recovery. Here is a link to really good post that probably has everything you need. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303917

S4 GT-I9515 Black Edition XSG stuck on logo screen

I have Samsung S4 GT-I9515 LTE Black Edition bought in UAE. I had official Android Lollipop updated through air.
Few days ago my phone switched off automatically and when i tried to switch back on it was stuck on Samsung S4 Logo screen. I tried getting in into Android System Recovery by press VolUp+Home+Power but i see the same logo screen with Recovery Booting.... message on the top right corner of the phone, it does not go any further than that.
I am just able to start the download mode in my phone. So i tried flashing it with the stock rom of ver. 4.4.2 which i downloaded from sammobile I9515XXU1ANL1_I9515YJV1AOB1_XSG. After many failed attempts i was finally flash the rom successfully but the problem was not solved.
If i start the mobile in recovery mode it gets off after been stuck on recovery booting screen. if i connect the charger while keeping the mobile off it keeps on vibrating every one second. if i try simple power start it is stuck on the logo screen forever.
Please help me to start my phone i am new to learning flashing phone so please tell me if i am doing anything wrong. Thanks.

You do not need to flash 4.2.2 as the boot loader has now changed. Find lollipop 5.0.1 for the phone you have on Sammobile and flash that instead. Make sure it is for UAE black addition.
