Impossible to get out of BOOTLOOP: soft-bricked - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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
Start
A bad pit can bricked your phone and bootloops

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.

The Only thing you can really do is Flash Stock ROM with Full Wipe, Or take it to Samsung for servicing
I cant flash the stock ROM because there isnt any Stock ROM with 4.4 for my phone -.-
Samsung/the repair service wants 250€ for the repair .
Any solutions ? :/

The Note 3 efs partition doesn't contain nv_data. All Note 3 are like that.
You say you upgraded to Kitkat, but the details you listed are of JB.
Did you flash a CM based ROM?
It dosent help
My phone wasnt booting so I flashed N9005XXUENA6 4.4.2 KitKat OXX .
Now my phone boots but still the same issue with IMEI.
I think I need an stock rom or? I need 4.4 for XEF (France/Europe)
Or is there any other way? can anyone repair things like that?

Did you try flashing that zip over the NA6 ROM?
That zip has helped out many people. And frankly, I don't think there are many ways of restoring a corrupt EFS partition.

I found this. It could be a potential solution, but unfortunately, it only works on 4.3.
Though the author says that he will update it soon. So keep an eye out, just incase he updates it before you find another fix.

Yeah but I need the box or?
I think it´s not so easy or cheap to get it in germany.
If you lose IMEI the EFS fire script won't repair it, it'll make it worse. French region devices have had issues as have NEE and HK - Install CWM or TWRP (you lose warranty) then go to wipe and wipe out /system --
Put your phone in download mode, and flash a STOCK ROM NB4 (German DBT) will do and grab a PIT file from one of the threads around here (DBT OTA thread I think has it HSD-Pilot posted it). load up the PIT file and the ROM .md5 - tick re-partition and hit start.. it'll rebuild your EFS - If that doesn't work, you'll need to ADB via terminal and do some trickery to restore your IMEI from your box. There is a tutorial in the forum for it.

Nice, more hope
Should I delete the efs folder before or check efs clear in odin?
Edit:
I flashed the ROM with the PIT file. Re-partition is ticked but *#06# says IMEI NULL/NULL
Where is the adb tutorial. I found a few but they say I need to dial *#7248# or something like that and choose ....... but there isnt somethin like that.
UART > Modem and PDA is only there and Modem isnt tickable
Can anyone help me ?
The XEF Kitkat ROM is out now.
What now?
IMEI is still NULL/NULL

[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

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.

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

Correct. As long as you use the CSC file and not the HOME_CSC file.

I want to flash the latest firmware for the S7 Edge - https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/122404/G935FXXU1DQB3_G935FOXA1DQB1_BTU/
Anything I must pay attention in Odin or just flash it the normal way?
Also, in the instructions they say to use odin v3.11.1, is it ok if I use the latest odin which is v3.12.3, or it's better if I use the version they used to avoid any surprise problems?

Just flash all 4 files, ignoring HOME_CSC.
Any Odin version should be fine.

Thanks! And besides my phone isn't originally from the UK I'll start receiving OTA updates from the UK? Or will the OTA's be received from the original country where the phone was bought?
