I've tried the "brick fixes" on this forum, but without luck so far... I can get into download mode, and I've tried flashing with odin from this post which says "passed" to me. After this is reboots into a black screen after the "galaxy S" screen, and nothing can be done except making the capasitive buttons light up...
All help is appreciated!!
FYI I don't have a SD card installed during odin...
Solutions in #6 and #7...
Thanks a ton

Sounds like a boot loop, but I can't figure out why you would get one with the stock odin flash. Try doing a factory reset? it shouldn't be needed, but who knows?
how? tried the "hard reset" whitout luck

In recovery.. there should be a factory reset option. I thought odin did that though.
when it is resetting I can read "mbr checksum error" or similar in yellow text before it's wiping data etc...
Try this ...turn you phone off but keep it plugged into you cpu usb cord and open oidin, next put your phone in download mode and put the needed files in oden and click start I had a hard time getting odin to work right for some reason this may not help but it worked for me. Good luck I don't think you bricked I think you can come out of this.
I assume that you used the partition in ROM Manager? If so I had the same problem as you. The phone would boot up to a black screen with only the buttons working. What I did was flash Eugenes 2.2 Froyo Rom, I surprised that it booted up and worked. After that I flashed back to stock rom and it work as it did before!

I turned the phone off while the usb was connected when the phone if off open odin ounce its open boot up the phone and boot it into download mode from there odin will connect and you can put the files you need into it and click start. This worked well for me when I needed to revert back to factory vibrant after flashing the "Real lag FIX" kernel that made my ear piece not work and some of my buttons not work but boy was my phone snappy and my benchmarks were awesome but what good does that do when your girl calls you and you cant hear her and all she can hear is you saying hellllllllooooooo .
I"ve been trying to flash with odin now for about 2 hours. It gets stuck on DO NOT DISCONNECT. And never finishes.

Ya it was like that for me until I did what I said in my last post, you do have the samsung drivers installed ?
Edit: And you are using this method or this thread HERE

You have managed to get into download mode right? My device is up and running stock now, but gonna try some other ROM now =)
Glad to hear your phone is back up and running .
i know this is an old thread, but i figure this can help someone later... brick is a common search term, and i figure this will come up in a search and this will save time for others...
here's what happened to me. i was flashing back to stock and was in download mode. the blue bar was moving etc and murphy and his dumb law decided to kill my my usb port... i thought the phone was DEAD! nothing i did woke the phone up. no battery indicator, buttons didn't do anything... it was all black. holding up/down and power didnt turn the phone on and into recovery or download mode... the phone was DEAD...
then after scouring the forum forever, i finally got the phone into download mode...
NOTE: i don't recall if the usb wire was plugged into the computer or not... i think it was though...
NOTE2: samsung drivers should have been installed already...
- remove the battery
- hold vol up and vol down buttons
- reinsert battery
i thought WOO HOO!! I GOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE!!!
the next issue i had was getting odin to recognize the phone... it didn't detect what com port i had. but after a lot of reading, i finally got it to work...
- open odin first
- then get into download mode using the steps above...
after odin recognized the port the phone was plugged into, i flashed back to stock rom using the instructions given on this site... and my dead phone works again...
i was able to fix a dead phone!! this phone could be un-brickable!!
i hope this helps...

Hey Guys,
My Phone is completely stock and i have not installed any firmware but last night my Phone suddenly entered a boot loop which woke me up.
At that moment i just pulled the battery. But this morning my Phone wouldn`t start anymore, it just shows the logo
What i tried:
Boot into recovery: No go, it just displays the blue text booting into recovery
Normaal boot: No go, just shows the samsung logo.
Tried emergengy recovery via samsung kies tool: It ends succesfully with the same result, no boot
What else can i try without voiding warranty?
I want to try anything i can before sending it back to the store because that will take a few weeks before i have a phone again

Turns out that mine had a hardware fault, just got it back and they replaced the main board
i think i have same problem something with main board, after all reflashing phone still make many reboots and other problem, thinking of how to send it to repair
I've been running a prerooted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2250824) rom since july last year but I wasn't receiving OTA updates so my Galaxy S4 I9505 was still stuck at Android 4.2.2.
I tried to unroot and remove with the SuperSU app but I still didn't get any updates through OTA or Kies.
Then I tried to reflash it with the same rom I installed last year which failed. So I decided to grab latest 4.4.2 rom from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=27642 and flashed it with Odin which also failed.
Right now my phone is off and its not turning on anymore, how bad did I screw it up? Is there any way to get it working again?
Thanks!
Do you have a gt-i9505 black edition phone? If you dont have it, your firmware is this ONE
If you can still get into download mode, then you did not mess up.
So can you still enter download mode?

If you can't get in on and you are sure that your battery is ok, then you messed up really bad. The screen just stays black?
I think it's because you flashed a firmware that is not for your phone. You probably have bricked it and there is no way to recover it.
Good afternoon, someone there knows some link to a program that to partition a rom : CSC , PDA, MODEM and BOOT ?. Or if you know the CYGWIN and reliable program partition the roms ?
PS : I have a Galaxy S4 GT- I9515L and could not find rom partitioned into place some ! Thank you very much in advance
If you want to flash a stock rom, look for the rom on sammobile.com and just flash the entire rom in the pda slot of Odin 3.07. There is no need to split the file for flashing.

yes and so I'll explain my case. he hung from nothing and when I tried to restart it , it just came into infinite lopping . I tried to make a recovery on it however, when I clicked on power + home button + up he gave a message in blue writing recovery booting and restarted again. I tried to install a rom stock and even the TWRP recovery but he is not out of the infinite lopping and not access the recovery . I wanted a solution to my case because I'm already researching ha two weeks. You know what can be ? and how to solve? I would greatly appreciate it if you helped me
Try again by opening Odin, uncheck auto reboot, flash rom, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, boot into recovery. When you boot to recovery, release the power button as soon as the phone powers up but keep holding home and volume up.

Is there any custom rom can be flashed via odin?
Looks like you are doing every right and it could be a bad memory chip in the phone.
I think the last hope would be to take the phone to a shop with a riff or octopus box and have them force flash the phone. If that doesn't solve the problem, memory chip is probably defective.
Thanx for everyone who provided his help, knwoledge and experience to solve my issue.
Appreciate it from my heart????
Have you solved the problem ? If yes can tell us what did the trick ?

Hi Alitaleb,
I read back the posts, and it seems you have a problem close to mine (not exactelly the same but similar..) see here :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help/help-understanding-to-wipe-device-t3679424
I was thinking of something about your problem, are you sure that the volume button is not defective ? I explain myself:
when you want to go to the recovery mode, the volume up has to be pushed, if the up button does not respond correctly then you may think you push up but in fact it is the down position that is detected by your phone...
I would suggest you to dismantle the back of your phone and check if there is no some dirt or simply broken part in the volume button..
Cheers,
