[Q] Galaxy S IV GT-i9500 No Recovery Mode - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a problem with my galaxy S iV. I tried all hard reset buttons on the net. i done did search also before posting. Unfortunately I cant open recovery mode its stuck in logo.
and the logo is different from others that i have seen also here is a sample of what it looks like
the one in this :
w w w . gadgethelpline . c o m/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Galaxy-S4-Boot-logo.jpg
or you can search Galaxy S IV GT-i9500 Logo
so i was thinking it must have something to do about it. so any one can help?
i tried
Volume up+ power
Volume up + Volume Down + power
Volume up + home + power
Volume up + volume down + home + power
Volume down + home + power
Volume down + power ( when i do this tho i get to enter test mode)
so any one got any idea?
i'd appreciate any tip. Thanks.!

Flash stock rom. That should sort things out.

But i cant enter download/recovery mode so how can i flash it? and its stucked to logo so i cant really turn on usb debugging mode

Your "SIV" is likely a fake. The logo is a dead giveaway, as Samsung stopped using Roman numerals after the SIII. To test, try to enter download mode using volume down, home, and power. A genuine S4 would present a warning and prompt you to press a key to continue. If nothing happens then your device is definitely fake.

For real? wow, so that explains why I cant get it to work. thanks for the info. I guess this solves the problem. thanks alot

you can also reboot ur phone to recovery using adb. Have you tried that?

It may help, but without a ROM to install he's stuck. These Chinaphone fakes don't generally have ROMs available for them, as their only purpose is to defraud the buyer. These things are the fake Rolex watches of the 21st Century.

i9000 brick!

Hello Everyone,
I have succesfully bricked my i9000.
I bought it for my dad, for fathers day.
But there was a crappy cm9 rom on it and i wanted to flash it to stock.
So i downloaded the I9000XWJW1_I9000XENJV5_XEN rom from Samfirmware, together with an s1_odin_20100512.pit file.
I loaded into download mode, booted odin, flashed and it failed at 20-30%
The phone was still in download mode and the bar was filled at 0-10%
I didn't know what to do, so i unticked repartition and tried again. nothing happend.
I rebooted, and all i get is a black screen.. the JIG is not working either..
When connecting, windows notes: SEC S5PC110 Test B/D
Please help!!! The solution that works i will give €10,- with paypal!
Put into download mode make sure reparation is checked and use 512 pit, make sure the .tar file is in the PDA section you only need them to files

do a battery pull first, reinsert battery, than press Volume Down hold + press Home hold + than Power hold
till you enter download mode..give it a try
To enter recovery mode, shut down your phone and wait for it to be completely turned off then (do a battery pull) you hold the Volume Up + Home + Power and when you see the screen flicker with the B&W logo of SGS let go of the power button

[Q] Galaxy Note 4 stuck in boot loop with No Command window no acces to recovery mode

I've encountered the following problem with my Galaxy Note 4: I just bought it online from a guy who turned out to be a fraud and I was not able to find or contact him again via the internet market place. So that was really stupid of me...and expensive...and I regret it very much and with hind site I should have picked up the signs but...o well you got the picture...I got ripped.
Anyways after careful inspection it turned out to be a real genuine Note 4 N910F with 64 Gb but with a korean or chinese or something recovery mode (I saw it once when I got home), an imei not to be found on any stolen phone list and working correctly with an european rom that includes English and Dutch at that point.
That's when I decided to factory reset it and then I got into trouble again: For some reason it got stuck in a boot loop with just a No Command message. Normally you can reach the recovery mode by pressing Volume Up +Home +Power but now nothing happens. It's not a real brick but with just the No Command message and no access to the recovery mode I don't know how to fix this.
Can anyone help me with a clue on how to get out of a No Command loop without recovery mode? Or how to get into recovery mode if start with Key Up etc does not work? Or any other clue that could help me?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Rene (aka the guy who got ripped off but hopes to save the phone)
Can you get into download mode?
Thanks dr.mOx for responding!
I tried both volume up+home+power to get into recovery mode and also volume down+home+power to get into download mode but in both cases the device starts and shows me the android robot on it's back with a red warning triangle containing an exclamation mark and below the robot the message "No command." . The screen blinks every two or three seconds. The power button is not shutting the phone down in this state. I have to remove the battery to retry.
Battey out. Then in. Go to download mode. Flash stock rom with odin

Hi Ozzyblack. The thing is that, if I'm correct, when I press volume down+home+power to get into download mode I expect some sort of menu to appear asking to go into download mode or not. Am I correct? I saw same sceendump about that. And now I keep getting the No Command window. Do you think I miss something here? I do press volume down first, then home (keeping volume down pressed), and them the power button (keeping all buttons pressed). After a few seconds the display turns a bit more grey for a sec and then the android robot appears. But no message of sorts about getting into download mode.
Hi reborn67.
**Only if you have a galaxy note 4 N910F model**
If you can get into download mode your safe, and you can reflash an offical ROM, there is no menu system in Download mode so don't worry.
Don't stay in download mode forever or a long time, i.e. power off and wait till you have the ROM and Odin before you go into download mode as it sometimes times out even though it still shows in download mode.
Go to here http://samsung-updates.com/details/37086/Galaxy_Note_4_Snapdragon/SM-N910F/DBT/N910FXXU1ANK4.html download the ROM, and then download Odin here https://mega.co.nz/#!UdRRyCAT!H4FyVxYynNWvXqRNmnpMGQRCP-dG3uykgP2pT4rh8Ek
These are the instructions from sammobile on how to flash ROm with Odin.Instructions
1-Extract (unzip) the firmware file
2-Download Odin v3.09
3-Extract Odin zip-file
4-Open Odin v3.09 (make sure the extracted rom file "N910FXXU1ANK4_N910FOXA1ANK4_N910FXXU1ANK4_HOME.tar.md5" is in the same folder as Odin before opening up Odin.
5-Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
6-Connect phone and wait until you get a blue/orange sign in Odin (above text top left ID:COM)
7-Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
IMPORTANT** Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes
I always do a hard reset after flashing new ROM's (settings, backup and reset, factory data reset)
I have a network locked UK N910F on EE and use this German ROM with no problems, this ROM has little bloatware.
Thanks gadjet. I do have odin and a stock rom ready for use now:
1-I tested odin and the usb port plus driver setup with my 'old' galaxy s4 and within a second the ID:Com in Odin turns blue. So that seems to be working fine.
2-So now I put in the Note 4 battery and connect to usb WITHOUT ANY KEYS PRESSED...just to test! And the usb connection bleeps from windows confirm a device is connected...so far so good.
3-Last and most important step fails: Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons), the 'no command' robot is still there, and also connect phone and wait until you get a blue/orange sign in Odin (above text top left ID:COM) never happens. And also there are no windows usb connection bleeps so apparently there's a difference when I tried to select download mode.
Please know that I'm really thankful for all the great tips. But I guess I'm still missing something here.
Kind regards,
Rene

This is different
Turn your phone off or make sure it’s turned off.
Press and hold the Volume Up, Home and Power buttons simultaneously.
When the phone vibrates, release the Home and Power buttons, but keep pressing Volume Up button.

OK, corrupt boat-loader Samsung service centre repair job, or local phone repair job.
Requires boot chip to be reflashed at board level.
Sorry we couldn't get you going bud..:crying:
Thanks for trying guys!
I'll see if I can find a local phone repair store.
I used to have the same problem with my SM-P605 when I flashed some ROM in the summer, the only special thing I did was not giving up and after all I got to the Download mode. Hope it'll work for you without Service.
Good Luck
Today I went to visit an official Samsung store. They told me I bought a very good but fake Note 4 and it is not likely it can be recovered. The weight is incorrect...a bit to heavy. Also the serial numbers are unknown in the samsung database and some other details were not correct. Thanks again for trying to help me! I now officially have a really expensive brick that looks like a note 4.:crying:
same issue i am facing..i tried all..but it shows no command error and no menu shows up
ill be going to get my phone checked today..if i get any way out ill let u know
What you did later to recover ? I'm facing the same problem I've visited samsung service centre but they are unable to solve it.
Can you guys help me for my phone Samsung note 4 because its just keep repeating in a logo SAMSUNG...
I tried pressing volume down+home button+power then got "WARNING CUSTOM OS... and stuff and then I press volume high+home button+power then I got the logo SAMSUNG that keeps on repeating. Please help me what to do

After android update, S7 Edge freezes on boot and won't turn off anymore!!!!!

Hello Everyone,
I never rooted my phone, my Edge S7 after last android update freezes on Samsung S7 Edge, "Powered by Android" logo.. and the worst, I can't turn it off!! Yes, is true, I have to wait the battery to drain totally to see the phone off.
What I have tried:
Tried key combination: VOL DOWN + Power, it restarts, but again I enter in this boot screen logo freezed.
Tried key combination: VOL UP + DOWN + Power to boot off, nothing happens.
Tried key combination: VOL UP + Home + Power to enter in Android recovery mode, nothing helps (I tried in every state possible).
Download mode combination works, so:
Kies using the restore option (with IMEI).. keep the same.
Used Odin to flash last firmware from samsung update site, nothing.
All my tried it keep stay showing Samsung S7 Edge, "Powered by Android" logo without any clue what's going on behind.
My version is from German, please guys, any idea what I can do in this case? Return it back is a very hard option as I'm far far away from where I bought it.
Thanks in advance
Seems like an hardware issue with the internal motherboard. If you did not do any flashing/update before this happened most likely will be hardware failure and you may need to visit the Service Center.
Another possibility is that you may have flashed the file for the wrong model
Did you try getting to recovery mode while pressing VOL UP+ HOME + POWER? Sounds like you missed the home button in that step.

Thats strange. I had a scare similar to that the other day. I thought I would never get my phone to work but what I did was this:
VOL DOWN + POWER Until it reboots.
As soon as the screen goes dark, really fast, hold the VOL DOWN, HOME and POWER buttons until you see download mode. After that, I flashed the original firmware for my device through odin and it booted normally.
The other option is to force reboot it with VOL DOWN + POWER and then VOL UP + HOME + POWER to go into recovery and shut it down from there, and THEN go into Download Mode, but it seems not even that is working for you. If your warranty is still active, I'd recommend going to where you bought it from to get it replaced or fixed. If they say they cant do anything, you can always contact Samsung to file a claim directly with them for service.
Hi there, I have same issue, have s7 edge sm-G935F stuck at logo. I downloaded 2 different firmware from z3x box(shell) and if keep failing when using odin (latest) and also getting error when using Samsung tool.Also I can't get in the phone menu to check the baseband..can only get model from download model.any advice to this?

Help!!! Cannot Access Recovery Mode/Download Mode

So I'm playing around with a Samsung S8 and I'm trying to enter the recovery mode/download mode screen, I'm considering rooting or testing different ROMs I'm fairly new to that and want to try it out.
Anyways log story short.
I turn off the phone, hit the Vol up + bixby + power I hold it till the Samsung logo comes up (even tried holding through the logo as well) and the phone just goes right into android like usual.
The buttons all work I've tested them individually but for whatever reason I cannot get into recovery mode.
Is there something I'm missing?
I've downloaded Odin as another thing I want to fool around with, is there a way for me to use that to enter recovery mode?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Odin will not get you into recovery/download mode
Getting into these modes is a matter of timing and as with everything takes practice
What I normally do is :
If the phone is powered off
Press power button until phone vibrates then immediately release power button then striaght away before s8 powered by android logo press and hold together at the same time vol up ( or down ) + bixby + power buttons together until in desired mode.
Same goes if rebooting from system
Press power button to bring up power menu hit restart when screen goes blank press and hold button configuration until in desired mode
It's all a matter of getting the timing right
