Quick FYI and correction -
Hard Brick = Won't power on or do anything.
Soft Brick = Can still access the device - bootloop/power up/bootloader/recovery.

Did You ever tried a full wipe several times before and after flashing?

Post some more information.
1. Where did you buy the phone
2. PDA/CSC/Baseband
3. IMEI still displayed as a number or is it null/null
4. Do you have EFS, FSC, and FSG backups
5. Which stock rom(s) did you flash
It sounds to me as though you have been flashing the wrong stock rom for your device. The behaviour you describe sits in line with that.

i bought it From official Samsung Shop, and it was running like normal before this problem.
IMEI is ok, not showing null or anything like that.

didnt help

Okey you need to get EFSBackupPro and use it to backup efs and fsc and fsg partitions. Just Google it and you will find a link to the thread here on xda.
After that you need to tell us what is the phone model. Look at my signature to see what a model looks like.
I think you flashed the wrong stock ROM. We need to find out which model phone you have so we can link you to the correct n9005 stock ROM.
You must make efs backup first. You can lose your imei and I have not seen a working method to fix the phone if that happens.

Efsbackuppro has bricked Note 3's previously. I wouldn't advise it.

Not sure about what happened in those case. It is quite literally a GUI that runs a few dd commands, that's it.

I have the exact same problem and I think it's a hardware problem. This was happening to me yesterday and is not related to software. I think it's the sound IC or dac.

After flashing stock rom, do FULL WIPE using recovery.
You did not mention doing it.

I did this and no change. As I mentioned I don't think this is a software problem. I did remove cameras and usb charging port even the upper hedfone port and is the same behaviour. One of the iC is malfunction . I did stop everything that is related to sound and I use now my phone as a tablet with no sound and recording capabilities.

L.E.
After I was looking over schematic of motherboard and online for similar hardware defect I think is the audio codec IC WCD9320 that need to be re-balled or replaced. On the MB it has the the code U707. I will try this tommorow.

CHECK
I did not seen any Note 3 with full sound hardware bullit , but I faced to not have sound when I flashed a different firmware and I tryed t update trough ODIN to the last firmware nf3 nf4 TRY THAT AND put your news here , DON'T TRY TO OPEN YOUR PHABLET DOES NOT HAVE PRB AND ALSO SAMSUNG INFO app from play... you will se your hardware is ok and also your sound codecs )::)) ODIN 3.07 is the most stable >LAST FIRMWARE (UPGRADE) PROBABLY TO TRY INSERT YOUR CSC AND PIT Country files ( AREA CODE for example XEO mine )

I did reheat al the components on the main board. Nothing happened. But... i did reflash (as a last try)with mobile odin the last build from south est of Europe and miracle happened is up and working well.

[Q] Hardware keys not working properly after update

Hello everyone,
Here's my situation. Today i updated my phone had a chinese 5.0.1 android and flashed UAE 5.0.1 (using the adonis pit since i believe i had used another for the chinese). Started the phone everything ok. As soon as the screen went of (screen timed out) i couldnt get it to work using the power and main button im not sure if theres is just long delay or i need to click the buttons multiple time or its the fault of the screen not reacting fast enough. All i know is that when i start the phone keys work good i can start in download or cwm with no problem.
Please help. Its very frustrating. Any advise is welcomed. Please give me even the most basic advices cause i got no idea what to do.
FIXED ! it fixed after i flashed ap, bl, cp and csc. idk why...

Gps problem GTI9505

Hi everyone. My rom is cm 13 but not defined on rom. my problem is actually interesting. i see in view 25~30 but in use 0 on gprs test. i tried clear a-gps , update agps but says clear agps request made. see this problem anyone without me ? thank you in advance.
My trieds..
1-Not working on stock rom. i tried
2-Clear gps or another gps apps i tried but its useless
3- i install modem &boot loader its useless

Hi there - same problem here.
Many solutions suggested points to pay attention to S4 body screws and attach them firm with a screwdriver.
In my case, it didn´t work.

My problem is not hardware problem. i tried everything but its not useless. my signal is good but gprs status & toolbox satellite in view 25 ~30 but unfortunately in use "0"

I had OMEGA´s ROM and since the begining, GPS worked like a charm.
All of sudden, it stopped and I tried all the hints and tutorials found on GOOGLE and here.
I just step back to Stock ROM again and...voilá! GPS working again, 100% functional.

really ? i going back old stock rom on twrp but doesnt working. your stock rom flashed on odin ?

I've had this same issue a while back, but solved it by reflashing original ROM and modem with ODIN (which from there I installed TWRP, Cyanogenmod, etc. to get back to business.....).
You should be able to find your original firmware here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9505/
-Goodluck

Thanks mare i know. Some people say if you came back to older android version like 6.0 to 4.4.4 or 5.0 your Phone is not working and always samsung icon bootnloop. This is true ?

No, I've never personally encountered that issue myself when I revert back to original firmware and recovery (via ODIN only).
The issue people do refer to is flashing lower than 4.4.2 due to the previously upgraded bootloader.
Just bare with me and do a nandroid backup, then try ODIN flashing your exact original firmware from the link I gave to you above (no lower than 4.4.2 of course).
It will load your original OS, recovery, and modem. If this fails, then we can better ascertain what exactly is the problem and easily progress from there.
Regards.

Ok. Thanks bro

Dont work i install stock rom via odin but still not working whyy???? İ am insane now. Still im view 20~25 stalite but in use 0. İ am going be crazy. Anyone help me ?

Then, I think its time to try to tight a light bit the screws of S4 body.
To be honest, I opened mine and there was a lot of dust & dirt there...certainly, not good for the contacts.
Start open from the botton, using a guitar pick and the entire part will be dettached.
Then, with the pick you can carefully start releasing the body (starting from the sides) and then, in the top left side, you will see GPS connection and antena in the part dettached. Try to clean it and then, firmly attach the screws again, specially this one.
I hope it works!

Dirty gps area possible it ? Because my phone signal is cool

Touch Dead After TSP FW Update From *#2663#

Hello There!
I am here facing a really annoying problem... I Have Galaxy S4 Verizon, problem here is that I have dialed *#2663# and update TSP FW update and Now After That My Touch Screen Doesn't Respond... Everything is OK. Display, Touch Buttons But No Touch Response...
I Have Repaired Device Using Verizon Repair Assistant, Flashed Stock Rom... But Still Touch Screen Not Responding... Display Is OK But No Touch! Please Help Me... It Is Urgent To Fix This..

I believe you have to take to a service. There is nothing you can do if the touchscreen doesn't work.
Maybe if you connect it to a PC and use that to navigate through the phone.
The problem is: you updated that touch firmware, and I assume it is at the latest version, so you can't update it again even if you manage to get into that menu.
I think the only way now is to force install another touch firmware or something.

Thanks for your reply, your assumption is accurate. By now I am able to control Device through mouse device. but can you help me more to how to find some Firmware for TSP SW updates? Just Need links to learn and do stuff...
I Will Be Thankful To You Or Any One...

Unfortunately I don't know of any links. But this is not the problem, the problem would be getting it flashed on your device. I don't know what it would take to force flash it, but I'm pretty sure you won't be able to do it via Odin.

Verizon Is Not Allowing Me To Flash Via Odin.... I Always End Up Like Failed.
Maybe I Have Bootloader Locked After GS4 5.0 Update, And After That Failed Attempt I Have Left With Unlocked Padlock icon With Samsung Logo And Name On Booting Up And Nothing Changed Else...
Stucked & Confused!
Well Thanks For Your Replies..!

[FIX] i9505 (replaced screen to copy (IPS)) sensors back and menu buttons by flashing stock FW

After market was filled up with display copies that include glued touch buttons, samsung decided to update their firmware. And unfortunately for users with cracked screens that they have replaced with cheaper one, controller of touch buttons began work not correctly. Looks like same story as with popular FTDI 232 ttl converter chip. Original manufacturer has released driver update to render copies useless.
I have got used i9505 with already replaced screen with bugged touch buttons and display looks like IPS, not AMOLED. I have tried some ROMs and found that sometimes flashing with stock ROMs with Odin will fix buttons, but as far as you get internet connection, updates start downloading without any prompt and buttons become dead.
I flashed TWRP with Odin, then flashed in recovery Albe95_S6_Full_PORT_4-7b.zip have boot it and in dialer typed *#2663# , then update FTSP FW and SensorHub FW. There was no "Touch key FW update". Then i played with *#0# to run SensorHubTest. After reboot buttons still had no light and not worked. But after i have flashed I9505XXUGNG8_I9505OXAGNG8_I9505XXUGNG8_HOME.tar.md5 and all become working well. Then i flashed MOD (Optimized-LineageOS-18.1-V7.0.zip) and all working good and with internet. Can anybody explain wtf exactly is happening? At that point i don't wan't to make more experiments. But am pretty sure that if you wanna fix it you should remove sim and block any wifi connections to stay offline while you are trying to fix buttons (what ever?) by flashing GT-i9505 with stock FW.
