[Q] S4 keeps rebooting.

My GS4 i337 keeps rebooting. I flashed Wicked v10 and everything went well except I had no wifi or data. I also noticed that the model number changed. I then proceeded to flash Wicked v10 and it said it was succesful, but when I started it up it would say safestrap enabled and then when it actually tried to boot up the screen went black and after a while it would vibrate twice and try to boot up. I have the AT&T GS4 (i337). What do I do?

Do a data wipe. Sounds like old user data is interfering with boot. Factory reset/data wipe should fix you up. If not, reflash with a dif cable. No data bc most roms require you to manually enter the apn after flashing. I woumd follow a guide while flashing if you're new at this. Dont mean to imply you are. I always wipe after every new rom flash, can fix a lot of "bugs".

I tried to do a data wipe but it says
E: error opening '/datamedia/media'
E: error: No such file or directory
Also I didn't use a data cable I just flashed it from safestrap recovery. Also I have done multiple factory resets, just doesn't boot. I'm gonna see if I have to do a different rom slot.

Idk much about safestrap as im on a Canadian variant and dont need it. You didnt overwrite your default slot tho did you? Can you boot into stock at all? I have seen a lot of safestrap issue threads and fixes, any luck searching the threads?

Yes I overwrote my stock (Yeah I'm a dumbass I know)
No I can't boot into stock.
I didn't really think it was a safestrap issue but I did look for some threads and found someone with the same problem on a different device though.

Would it be a problem with the model number or anything? It has a weird model number now.
and BTW: I'm not THAT new but I wouldn't say I'm an expert. I've rooted multiple devices (GNex, HTC Evo, Kindle Fire), but this is the hardest (Stupid AT&T)

Not sure of the implications of this, bc again, i dont use safestrap. Can you use odin yo flash your device back to official stock, and stock recovery. Reroot, reinstall safestrap etc? Might be your best bet. If possible. I wish I could be of more help, but i really am of no use with safestrap. Dont worry, weve all made mistakes, you arent hard bricked so must be recoverable.

Samsung-updates.com has all the stock firmware for all devices. Make sure you read the safestrap faq to ensure you flash a stock compatible with it. I know 4.3 with safestrap is giving ppl fits, may be best to go 4.2.2. Use the firmware archive for older firmwares. I uploaded 4.2.2 to the android section of the thepiratebay.org or thepiratebay.se a month or so ago, as many had requested it.

Wait scratch that
I might not be an idiot.
I have the i337 (snapdragon)...
Which is essentially i9505
So I download the i337 right?
But the regions are canadian...
And there is no MK2...
So does this website have it?

I9505 works on i377m, dunno about the i377. Gimme a sec, ill see if i can find your mk2. Big difference that kittle m makes. Your bootloader is locked, hence safestrap, mine isn't (i377m). Not sure if the Canadian wilk run on yours, gimme a few minutes and ill see what i can dig up. If it is compatible, you could just use csc changer to set proper carrier. You will also want to lookup and identify your apn, thats what gives data on roms, without it, no data. Proper region stock has proper apn set auto. Back in a few.

These instructions assume you started with MJ6.
First, make sure you can boot into recovery. If not, download and apply the MJ6 recovery.
recovery-mj6.tar.md5
It should apply without error. If not, report the failure.
Download and extract the following files...
mf3-emergency-part-1.tar.md5.7z .....>>>>>MIRROR<<<<<.....
mf3-emergency-part-2.tar.md5.7z .....>>>>>MIRROR<<<<<.....
If you don't already have it, download the mf3-mj9 update file...
update-mf3-mj9.zip
1.Start Odin, connect your phone and boot into Download mode.
2.Flash mf3-emergency-part-1.tar.md5 which contains modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin and system.img.ext4.
3.The flash of system.img.ext4 WILL FAIL at the end. That's OK.
4.Force Reboot the phone back into Download mode (Voldown+Home+Power) and restart Odin.
5.Flash mf3-emergency-part-2.tar.md5 which contains cache.img.ext4.
6.The flash WILL FAIL at the end. That's OK.
7.Force Reboot the phone back into Download mode (Voldown+Home+Power) and restart Odin.
8.The phone should now reboot to a black screen with the pulsing notification LED.U need to install recovery-mj6.tar.md5 or i337MK2stockRecovery.tar.md5 (also confirmed work with some users) via ODIN first if u stuck between step 6 and 7 since u are on DOWNLOADING MODE....and then force reboot to get u back to recovery if u coming from MK2 by using combo button (VolUp+Home+Power) or use this Odin Force Reboot .tar File to reboot
9.Reboot into recovery mode and choose apply update via adb and open your adb command from computer and use MF3>MK2 update zip files from OP .....HOPE THIS HELP......
Code:
adb sideload update.zip
I recommend sideloading instead of flashing from sdcard because the sdcard method reboots the phone whether the update was successful or not and you lose the error messages.
10.Reboot the phone and let it initialize.
11.You should now have MK2. and last step is to Hit THANK button......

I can't say thank you enough. I have been fighting with my phone ever since I tried to downgrade from 5.0.1 to 4.4.4. I finally got it to boot by using ODIN to flash the pit file but could never get it to stop showing that the partition verification failed. This worked.

Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910C Exynos Bootloop after flashing sctock rom

Hi, Is anyone here can help me about my problem, I cannot install any stock rom or custom rom in my device, maybe the problem is the knox bootloader now is equal to 1. Every time I flash Official rom or custom rom, I always end up with bootloop,. The only custom rom works for my device now is the CM13 unofficial trextexx and CM12 Unofficial. Can somebody help me,,thanks

Boot into recovery mode and wipe CACHE and DALVIK CACHE after you flash the stock rom. Or tick the "NAND ERASE" when flashing via odin

I have the same issue, my device is 910H.
UPDATE:
I tried nand erase all, didn't work

plz>>>>>> Tell me more in details >>> what did you do

try downloading the latest 5.1.1 from sammobile and flash it. Dont use the 5.1.1 which you have downloaded earlier *USE ONLY THE LATEST* because some versions of 5.1.1 lock bootloader and wont let you go to earlier version of 5.1.1 so try with the latest.

Anyone found a fix yet?
I also have this problem and haven't found a fix yet.
I downloaded the latest stock rom "COJ5" 5.1.1 (N910CXXU2COJ5_N910COXA2COJ5_N910CXXU1COJ5_HOME.tar.md5), but I still have a bootloop :crying:
(I have the COJ5 bootloader successfully installed).
PLEASE HELP ASAP

I wish someone provides us with a right solution to this boot loop problem when reverting back to stock rom !!

Hi community!
First time posting.
So, my SM-G900I (shipped from Taiwan to Aus) recently started bootlooping so i decided to reflash a stock rom. I initially flashed an XSU version of the G900I stock and then a BRI version of stock. This didnt remove the bootloop. I then installed TWRP and cleared all the necessary caches, formatted data and everything else. still in bootloop.
I installed CM13 in TWRP install menu and it still didnt boot. I've also tried pulling the battery for extended periods of time. I dabbled in terminal commands but it was all a bit above me!
is there anything else i can do or is the phone dead? it can still enter download mode and TWRP. is this a battery problem? in TWRP the battery says it's 80% charged so it seems to hold charge.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers.

Did you try flashing the stock rom and PIT file with ODIN?

I did. 16GB G900I pit file was flashed alongside BL, AP, CP, and CSC files (got directly from Kies).
I am able to install a custom recovery and access those menus but i can't get in to the stock recovery menu.

You need a repair firmware find here http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...ader-csc-pit-files&catid=55:samsung&Itemid=82 flashed whole firmware bootloder pda modem csc press thanks if i helped

Hi!
Thanks for the quick response but there are none there for G900I models. Just a question, how do these differ from manually putting in pit, AP, BL, CP and CSC seperately?
cheers.

You made a wipe of System, Data, Cache and Dalvik cache? If yes you tried Wipe Internal Storage too?

AP = Android Platform
BL = Bootloader
CP = Modem (radio)
CSC = Region & Network operator
PIT = Partition table
Lunch Odin tick ap and select pda' ap' code acoding your downloaded firmware tick BL select bootloder
Tick cp and select modem
Tick csc select csc
Tick pit and select pit

Download update to samfirmwar it is 1 package file home tar md5 put on PDA and flash make sure download correct firmware of your country region

best way : download samsung kies, go to download mode on your phone, connect it to pc, open samsung kies, go to tools->firmware update settings, this will update your phone to latest firmware fixing any software related problem. after that you can root and flash any custom rom.

Gratz

Hi man, Congratz. I'd like to know which version did you download? Because I also have Taiwan version but is not in the list, just India and Australia options.
Thanks for your help.

[How-To]Install Vodafone-Branded Marshmallow firmware to your G920F ONLY!!!

Hi to everyone!!!
I saw that many of you are having issues about the installation of the Vodafone-branded OS. If you want to install it very easily and fast, just follow this guide! You can follow this guide to install any branded OS to your G920F ONLY
WARNING: This procedure will delete all of data, however it wont trip KNOX
1. Download the Vodafone branded OS (here mirror not mine)
2. Download this pit file if your phone is the G920F ONLY
3. Open Odin and put the pit that we downloaded in the pit section and the firmware in the AP selection.
4. Start flashing
5. Voila. It is recommended to wipe the data and cache after flashing the OS to ensure the best performance out of it.
That's it. This pit file is made from @yakapa40 and make sure you press the "Thanks" button to him too.
Don't forget to press the "Thanks" button to me to for letting you know about this trick. I have tested and it works like charm!!!
No extra help will be given from me

Thanks for this PIT file, and if we want to go back to the original pit file do you know where we can find it ?

My version goes like this
1. Unpack G920FXXU3DPB8+Service+firmware.zip (Link)
2. Put the files where they say they should go (AP = AP / BL = BL ect)
3. Press Start
4. Done
This wipes you're storage so backup beforehand!
EDIT: Not sure if this trips KNOX, it shouldn't as its official firmware, but I cannot tell you as I already had KNOX tripped from the beta

You're right, this wipes all of your data.
But it wont void the KNOX counter

It is not harmful to the SIM(Slovenia). It is operating normally. The only restart 10 minutes.
Work normally. I updated by the method as described above. Data is not deleted if you do not want. Root disappears.

Guys, how about Voice Quality?
We have new modem...

Guys one question i used this pit to flash from BTU to ORO firmware , then i did factory reset and flashed Xef without this pit and again did factory reset so i got csc from xef active...After doing ota 6.0.1 i again did factory reset so now everything is clean i dont have root or knox 0x1...My question is do i have to flash some kind of original pit from 6.0.1 xef or i am good to go like this ?? Thx

I downloaded the PIT And FW and followed the OP's instructions, worked perfectly. My question is, With tha new security update a while ago, where you can't downgrade your Android OS version. Now that I am on the 6.0.1 from the OPs post, am I able to revert back to my original PIT and Android 5.1.1?
If so, how do I know what PIT is my original one, and to reflash it do I need to follow the OPs instructions, only changing the PIT used and FW used? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Forgot to say, I am on the Meteor Network, in Ireland.

Thank you! Running 6.0.1...Couldn't wait any longer! I'm on 3UK

Hello everyone, sorry once again to bother you all, but does anyone have any help on this matter?

Frequent reboot after installing 6.0.1 to Samsung S6
After updating to Marshmallow, my S6 is rebooting very frequently. Please help.

Hi,
Just to clarify can I use this method to flash Vodafone firmware on to my O2 branded and network unlocked G920F?
