that's just a soft brick...
If u have orignal bill and have not rooted the phone before,go to a Samsung care and have it fixed.
Dont mess with it anymore,u may trip Knox,resulting in warranty void
edit:wait,u have custom system status,download a 4.4.2 for ur region and flash it

1. Uninstall completely the Samsung drivers.
2. Download and install THIS ones.
3. Try with other USB port to flash the firmware 4.4.2 again.
4. Good luck :highfive:

are u worried abt ur warranty?
coz if u flashed stock 4.3 then knox was installed too ..
and with knox tripped, u loose ur warranty ..
If u don't care abt that, wipe clean everything then flash any rom, it will do fine..

HI Guys,
I flashed the Lollipop 5.0.1 CHN firmware and rooted the phone to install the Google apps, then when the India Firmware came i tried to flash that via Odin, it failed. and bricked the phone, could get into download mode but all firmware i've tried fails.
i tried numerous thing to a point where i can now only get CWM- recovery or TWRP open recovery on the phone, and then it allows me to get back into download mode with swver A3, but Odin still fails almost immediately.
help would be much appreciated
regards
Brendan

So this means you can into Download Mode which is quite a good thing.
Now what you do is download the particular Kies for S4 from the OEM site and connect it when your phone is in Download or that wierd Yellow Triangle with the sign to connect to PC, and then kies will try to save ur phone.
came accross this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2269941
Odin completed success fully, but now phone just hangs just after it askes to select the OS language ps. i used the lollipop india rom with the pit in the mentioned post
install a custom recovery using odin like philztouch and do a full wipe to install new rom
will i need a new PIT file?, after full wipe just Odin and lollipop 5.0.1 as normal?
Bricked note 3
Hello,everyone. So I recently downloaded on my rooted Note 3 (n9005) TWRP Manager. I wanted to install that recovery mode but I didn't download the latest version. A pop-up noticed me that that stuff did not installed correctly. It asked me if I would like to boot into recovery mode and I hitted ''Yes''. And after that it runned Odin Mode. on the first line;''could not do boot normaly''
Now I'll install again the Lolipop Android via Odin but I'm not sure if it'll work.
if it won't,what shall I do?
Btw,when I put my phone on the charger it opens Odin Mode and it's not showing to me the battery image.
sorry for my grammar mistakes
try flashing first!

But I lost all my data
So for those people who will probably have this experience,try to flash the bootloader with ODIN
This is why we need to "do a backup" before playing with the System files
