Have you flashed the right firmware you cannot downgrade it must be the same or newer for it to work, you can get the latest updates from www.sammobile.com

I followed your instructions but it still gets stuck on the logo

I have done everything I could. I also tried to install CWM but it gives me this error "secure check fail : recovery"

okay for those with the same problem as mine, I finally managed to fix this problem by going to recovery, then wiping data factory reset.

i've the same error,
it was because i use bobcat v2 with abyss kernel so after i would use echoe V5 but reflash a stock rom MJ7 to clean my phone
but ===> error the message just apear
I fixe the problem with a flash stock kernel ^^

Galaxy S4 bricked?

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.

Odin passes with the recoveries but it doesnt work. The rom failed.
I got a error message when i try to start recovery mode.

Recovery is not seandroid enforcing
Set Warranty Bit: recovery
I cant get into fastboot mode. The informations in the Internet are that there is no fastbootmode for the gt-i9505.

Hi mate,
Some more information would be nice.
Which was the latest firmware and which version did you want to flash?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Take a look at this, especially to the "Odin troubleshooting" part.

Hey. Thank you for the answere.
I tried to flash I9505XXUGNF6_I9505DREGNF2_I9505XXUGNF6_HOME.tar
The latest firmware was 4.2.2 (Austria 3)
I tried now another Odin version and i flashed it with PID file. The only result is that i get a recovery booting
in the top left corner but it still stucks... i cannot open recovery to wipe cache / factory reset.
The last thing i tried was to flash the original recovery. <- back to the 3 errors.
now i try another odin software with another usb port. odin passes with everything but i cannot open recovery. just stuck at Recovery Booting

Hi,
does Odin give a fail log? Or does it finish successfully?
Which Odin versions did you try?
And the firmware you want to flash now is a Austria 3 one as well? You can also take another version (but still with the same csc) in case that your current one is damaged or something like this.

Hi again.
I used Odin 3.04 and 1.85. Also i tried diffrent USB Ports.
I tried to flash CWM 6.0.4.7 Touch and Non Touch, also twrp.
It passes with all the recoverys as well with the rom from sammobile and the stock recovery rom from the other tread.
i tried with and without pit file. Odin passes everytime.
Afther restarting the phone i just get the blue (booting recovery) or the 3 error messages in the top left corner and it stucks for hours.
Iam not able to boot recovery and wipe the cache... and iam not able to boot into the system do something else.
the only thing working is the download mode.
iam out of ideas.

You can try to flash a three or four part firmware with Odin 3.09, it will wipe your device itselfs

Try flashing the recovery again with auto-reboot unchecked.
But it sounds more like a hardware failure to me.

Thank you all for your help.
And yes. It was a Hardware failure.

Please help me save this great phone.

So my beloved note 4 is very poorly and I'm unsure of how to fix her
Phone turns on and boots, sometimes takes longer than others, and I can get to Download mode and recovery.... So maybe there's hope?
It's back on stock kit kat..... Here are it's issues.
Random freezes and reboots,
Sometimes the imei is unknown, pulling sim and rebooting and dialling *#06# brings it back temporarily.
This all happened very suddenly after a MM OTA update but maybe just a coincidence.
What I've tried so far, flashed stock KK with odin and wiped in recovery, none helped.
I've downloaded the n910f 4 file repair firmware that was kindly posted in another thread, but I've read conflicting advice about ticking the repartition option in odin.... Some said do it and someone else said this would wipe my imei... Which would be obviously bad.
Has anyone had similar issues to me and found a solution? I'd be eternally grateful for any help, I love this phone and want to save it. Please help.
Kind regards steve.

Thanks for the reply, I've tried that already but the flash failed in odin, KK will flash. I thought this strange but after I reset the phone when the issues first started it went from MM back to its original firmware KK. Now only KK will flash successfully.
I'm open to all solutions.

grab 4 files lollipop repair firmware with pit file from www.tsar3000.com.
Flash in odin.
Once complete do factory reset.
Now go ahead and flash MM firmware with pit file that you get from repair firmware.
Again factory reset.
Done.

In odin options dont tick on "erase imei"
Just tick on re partition , nand erase all & auto reboot.
Make sure do factory reset & wipe cache from stock recovery after flash.

Firstly I'd like to thank you for your time and help.
Thought I'd share what happened. I flashed the 4 files and pit file and it failed right at the end, tried 2 different odin versions with same results. This left me without recovery and the triangle of death saying please connect to kies.
I could still get into download mode so I flashed just the ap file from the recovery firmware, It passed but the boot took 20 minutes and at that point I pulled the battery and got Into recovery and after 2 minutes or so the blue line went by itself and it rebooted to lollipop 5.0.1
I can make phone calls and install apps, it's just a little laggy but may improve after it settles down.
Do you think I should quit while ahead? Flash MM In odin or let the phone OTA update?
Thanks again and any further thoughts appreciated.
Cheers

Did you wip cache & factory reset after flash ?
Yes you can flash mm with pit file but must do factory reset after every flash to get clean operating system and avoid bootloops.
I suggest flash in odin mm instead of ota to avoid any issues.
Once your phone boot do not touch just let it rest for atleast 10 minutes to settle down.

I've flashed MM and all is working great except I've still got the unknown baseband imei null.....

Help with note 3 9005 loop booting

Hil
I have a similar problem. I have a note 3 with original UK ROM and wanted to flash my operator ROM to get wifi calling. Both are android 5.0
The problem is after trying to flash the first time I had a problem that the new ROM would not fully flash. reading posts I understood I had to flash PIT file which I downloaded and flashed. After flashing PIT the new ROM did not go in so I flashed my original UK.
After reboot I kept getting security warnings that something has changed and I should reboot. After several boots the problem did not go away.
So I tried to flash ROM again, different tries between UK ROM and my operator ROM, but the phone now only loops at booting. Sometimes it gets stuck at first Samsung screen.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you

What original rom.
What rom you updated to ?
Probable you flashed the wrong size PIT .

Hi,
So the following:
Original ROM: N9005XXUGBOK6_N9005BTUGBOJ1_BTU
My operator (EE): N9005XXUGBPB1_N9005EVRGBPB1_EVR
Now I tried: 4.4.2.N9005XXUGNG1_N9005OXAGNG1_BTU
I tried the following PITS:
SM-N9005 FTM pit
SM-G900F EVR pit
Any suggestions, would be very grateful.
Thanks

SM-G900F EVR pit
Thats not for N9005 .
Have you tried Samsungs KIES ??

So which Pit to rectify?
Yes I also tried Kies 3 but cannot connect. I have tried under recovery mode and download mode. Odin connects fine though. Not sure why.

SEE

If you have N9005 32GB only

From closed thread .
You changed to the wrong model firmware and that's a guess as you give no indication .
Another guess is that you ticked the wrong boxes in Odin .

I installed TWRP 3.1.1 as per link above and tried to backup my DATA partition but it is 0MB
I'm afraid Factory reset also failed. I get a bunch of error messages such as:
Failed to mount /data
Formatting cache
Unable to mount storage
Any ideas?
The good news is I still have access to recovery and download.
