[Q] Need Help!!!!!! Phone Stuck at Samsung Logo

I am currently new to all this stuff so i dont have an exact idea what i was doing
First of all i rooted my Device I9500 Which had 5.0.1 Android
then i installed TWRP Recovery and then i was not able to backup any stuff to External SD Card so i installed some Boot.img which i exactly dont remember which i installed from watching any youtube video then later some problem occured It showed some error like "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" then i flashed Philz touch recovery which then worked and i was able to backup my data but i was not able to Boot into my Original ROM or couldnt see an option for that. Then i downloaded The Ozcan V6.3 ROM and tried installing it it succesfully installed but after that its not able to boot uo and stuck at SAMSUNG Logo Screen.
Please Help me What to DO !!!.
Thanks In Advance

If your device can still get into download mode, download the stock Android 5.x image for your device and flash it using Odin. That will get you back to square one so you can start over with rooting and installing the custom ROM.

I had the same problem on my gs4. It would only go to galaxy logo so I flashed the lollipop firmware via odin and all is well.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app

Just have to flash the default one with Odin ?
i also backed up my old data with philz to my sd card that also and i also downloaded a new Default 5.0.1 ROM ?
Which one should i flash ?
and whats the critera for finding ROMs leaving the model number ? (noob question)

Is the S4 unlocked? If not, what country are you in and what carrier do you have?

My Country is India and its the International Version I9500 and i am not pretty sure that it was unlocked or not .but it was rooted and recovery was installed
Added later :
I just installed recovery back and then tried to install ROM the ROM was also stuck on the Boot Loop I think my boot loader isnt unlocked and ima stuck there because of that

I9500 isnt bootloader locked. And u must be flashing the boot.img on other partition that not in the odin package. So u must search how to repartition ur device. But. U MUST VERY CAREFULL WITH REPARTITION OPTION! U MIGHT BRICK UR DEVICE IF U DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT U DOING!. And if u wanna flash recovery and boot.img or bootloader thing. U must ONLY flash for I9500 version!. And if u successfully repartition ur device. U will lose all internal storage too. Ok good luck

You would know if you were carrier unlocked as you'd be able to put a SIM from a different carrier into the S4 and have the device work. To get you the correct ROM we still need to know your carrier.

secure download : enabled
Hi my galaxy s4 gt i9500 is stuck in a bootloop. When is boot I get "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again"... when I boot into download mode I see "secure download : enabled" which wasn't usually there. Am trying to flash the pit file with twrp but Odin is failing.... is it because of the secure download enabled?? Please help me

You can't flash the PIT file with TWRP.
Do you have Odin? Do you have a copy of your stock ROM, downloaded either from Sammobile or samsung updates? If not, you'll need to get them. You then flash the firmware through Odin WITHOUT the PIT file. This should restore your device to operating condition. Afterward, you will of course need to root the S4 and flash a copy of TWRP to be able to install a custom ROM.

Carrier is Airtel

-help- SM-N910f with SM-N910p bootloader

Hello every one
I have bought a Note 4 " SM-N910f " from ebay and when I tried to root it ,I have found that the version of the bootloader belong to another Note 4 (910p).
about device
Model Num: SM-N910F
Android Ver: 5.1.1
Baseband V: N910FXXU1COH4
Build Num: DONGCHAO.A929
CpuZ
model : Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910F)
Bootloader :N910PVPU4COG5
Kernel Ver: 3.10.40-5303209(N910PVPU4COG5)
Build Num: DONGCHAO.A929
Odin mode
product name : SM-N910P
current binary: samsung officiel
system status : officiel
reactivation lock off
Knox warranty void : 0x0
the ticket on the back also show the same thing as ''About device''
but when I cheket my IMEI in ""imei.info"" it tell me that my phone is a galaxy s6 edge !!!!
the same IMEI in both (back ticket & software (#*06#))
so what should I do?
because I can't root neither flash a new firmware
Can I relace the bootloader by the one of N910f ?
(I have only try to flash the firmware of N910f ,I did not try n910p firmware's because I am afraid if I succeed I'll finish with locked network phone)
thanks a lot

have same problem. did you succeed to resolve the issue?

I realised that someone has been changing "Sprint Note 4" to look like the international version.
so I decide to install the latest stock rom ( downloaded from sammobile)
Now I am so glad because I didn't get any problem.
I don't Know how but a Note 4(n910c) IMEI was restored not an IMEI of n910p according to "Imei.info"
Hotspot and Network unlocked including LTE

Hi, I am having the same problem as you.
Can you please give me the rom that you used? And which odin version did you use?
thanks.

what version is the modem? when the moden is from n910p too then its a n910p spoofed as n910f. that can be done by changing backcover and mount a sim reader and it works like n910f. so you have a n910p mainboard in it with changed imei with jtag box

Do this only if your bootloader is a N910P**** (Use CPU-Z to check it, you can download it from the market)
You must have a least 60%
You should remove your SIM card
I've used the latest rom from this link.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/60440/N910PVPU4COJ6_N910PSPT4COJ6_SPR/
I assume that you've already installed Samsung driver
and that you have the latest version of odin v3.10.7 and that you're familiar on how to use it
but before you proceed you have to :
1- Instal a custom recovery (Twrp)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...nt/tool-utility-twrp-2-8-1-0-teamwin-t2915591
2- boot into TWRP
3-in advanced wipe dalvik cache
4-wipe data/factory reset
5-Format /cache
6-Format /system
7-Format /Data
8-go to advanced and reboot to download mode
9-flash the downloaded rom
wait (10-15min) until your device come to world
Now you have a fresh and clean note 4
10-check your IMEI (*#06#) in http://www.imei.info/
11-restrict data and wifi usage for the following app
Sprint ID
Mobile Installer
Sprint Zone
MyScript Resource Manager
12-Update Your System (settings > System Update > Update Now)
Because this is not the latest build You should upgrade to N910PVPS4COK1 (150mo)
to correct some issue with Google Play Store and other things
13- Update you Play Store and Google Services thru the Store
14- shutdown your device when finished
15-insert your SIM and wake up your Note 4
16-you should root it to profit
(remove unwanted sprint apps it's recommended check the forum to find them out -Use Titanium Backup pro #1 )
enjoy and wait for the Marshmallow =)

Hi.
So how to I get the phone to work? It is in a bootloop when switched on and I cannot go into recovery mode since the phone restarts itself when I try to do so. However I have access to download mode.
Also how do I check the version of the modem?

hello, how do I make sure if my bootloader is a N910P? I cannot download CPU-Z on the phone since the phone is in a bootloop and not switching on.
Before I had the problem, it was written SM-N910F in the about device of the phone. In download mode, it is written N910p and at the back of the phone it is written Sm-N915F.

If you can access the download mode, you simply flash the custom recovery and follow the instructions

you can get it working by flashing n910p rom with odin (download it from sammobile) after that i can say you how to get it again full working with a n910f rom so that you dont have anymore any sprint apps on it

after flashing sprint odin rom install twrp recovery fot it. after that download any rom for n910f and flash it with twrp and then flash a kernel for n910p and it will boot without sprint apks. so you have now n910f rom an no more sprint things

S4 issue with Recovery Menu

Hi everybody,
It's been a while I tried to flash CWM touch using odin... and after it failed, my phone didn't started it displayed :"firmware upgrade encountered an issue"
I followed this video instructions and it started again
I didn't realized the file used in this video was made for SIII (i9300) !
philz_touch_6.07.9-i9300.tar.md5
May be that's why I can't access to the inbuilt recovery mode and not that flashed recovery either...
Last night, I tried to flash another CWM version. It failed and I had to do the same thing again
Anyway, I could restore original recovery menu or install an appropriate custom recovery on my phone ?
Please I don't like to flash a new rom these days. Phone is doing great !
Thank you

Download twrp for your device from twrp.me and flash the tar version in Odin.
https://dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/

Does your phone boot? If it boots and is rooted you could use the app Flashify to flash the twrp.img file. No Odin required.
You can download the img file from the link in the previous post.

Thank you guys
I didn't found your replies in the notifications !
That's a good idea. I went to official CWM website and flashed the appropriate version using SGS4 flasher

Now I'm ok with the last CWM touch version.
Thank you

You should take into consideration that CWM is outdated and you may have flash issues due to that reason.

Galaxy S5 G9006V

I have galaxy S5 with lollipop 5.0 showing model G900F under the battery sticker and in about device and other my phone info apps but when I switch to download mode it shows model G9006V. what is all this? what actually is my model. I tried to root using kingo pc file but it failed giving error "recovery is not seandroid". I recovered using samsung kies 3 now device is working but still can not go to recovery mode giving same error. When I try to update using device setting software update it gives error as "u have tried to modify ur OS in an un authorised way.

Hi!
Label in battery is the actual model. I think a wrong ROM was flashed.
Download from sammobile the right version ROM.
You can flash MM
Then flash TWRP recovery and flash superSUxxxxx.zip to root your phone

If wrong ROM were flashed it would not match with the lablel. I tried to flash the firmware from sammobile that matches with the label i.e. G900F but it failed. When I connect with Kies it shows G900F but while upgrading with Kies I have to write G9006V and S/N otherwise Kies says model is incorrect. I think its actually G9006V flashed with G900F but I am confused.
Samsung Knox app shows baseband and bootloader as, G9006VZNU1B0E3. PDA G900FXXU1P0EC. CSC G900F0JV1POF1

Did you try with Odin?

G9006V
I had the same problem. I had lollipop 5.0 international version, with all Google apps and all features. In "about phone" was info that is G900F. Every G900F root, or stock upgrade via Odin failed. What I've found out Is that only I can do is flash stock rom of G9006v, and that is only I can do. And I done it. But when I done it, I had only English and Chinese option for language. And I could not install any Google application, I did not had Play store. Everything from Google was blocked. In "about phone" now shows the info G9006v. I root it, install aptoide, but what I need is Google can enyone know what is the problem. Also I found out, when I searched for network and country to I can download stock rom is,in application Phone info *SAMSUNG* was showed that my phone is from UAE, xsg network, but stock ROM from sammobile didn't work. And now in same application is showed that my phone is from China, network " unicom"... WTF!? I worked with so many fones,I never saw anything like this.

[Q] How do i know firmware of soft bricked I9500?

My GT-I9500 is stuck at Samsung logo after installing TWRP recovery and rebooting. I used flashy app. Now i am trying to find solution to recover my phone. When i enter recovery mode it is shown as stock recovery(IMO). i am newbie.
However i don't know my phone's firmware number. All i know is there is "LRX22C.I9500XXUHOAA" in stock recovery mode. Is this firmware version? what is it? Just like shown in this pic: (i can't post link. cuz it's my first post)
cdn.droidviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/galaxy-s6-recovery-screen.jpg
Using Kies 3 is no option. It doesn't show firmware version when i enter my S/N in firmware upgrade. (some error)
So my question is which version of stock firmware/rom should i download? Because there is no specific version for my country.
Please Help me. Thank in advance

Any for your device.

Put phone in downlad mode. Flash with Odin the tar version of Twrp.

What do you mean there is no specific one for your country?
It has to be one, flashing a firmware different from your country's may cause signal lost issue, or no sim card detected or imei problems, where are you from?
from where did you buy the phone?
