Hi guys,
I got a N910C, CSC XXV , Softbricked it because I was overconfident and skip Nandroid back up ( I know ) when install Bliss rom
The installation went fine, but after my battery dead a few time , it stuck into bootloops. still able to get in recovery and download
So tried the Stock From Sammobile with Odin with no results , Wipe cache and dalvik cache with no result, I even wipe EFS and Erase Nand, and using Pit file (Im sure I used the correct one) with no lucks at all
Right now i can access to adb thru CWM recovery, and Odin thru download mode, and that's all it going to. It does say Kernel/Recovery is not SEAndroid enforcing whenever I tried to flash TWRP or a custom kernel tho ( I still able to get in TWRP)
So if anyone have a similar phone I can have a nandroid back up it'd be great, or anyone have any insight of this bootloop.
TL;DR: Softbricked, Tried everything i could think of except Nandroid restore, so if you have a N910C CSC XXV( Does it matter?) and able to share it then it's brilliant
Thank you very much

Hi,
i will start at the beginning. i got my S4 (i9505) with contract and branding Germany - Deutsche Telekom.
Today i rooted it with CF-autoroot and put twrp recovery in it - It was working.
Then i tried to flash Hox Hound Rom - bootloop. So i made a factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, cache. Put the battery out for about 3 min - many many times Still bootloop.
then i decided to go back to stock rom for a clean install - bootloop. (I9505XXUBMF8_I9505OXABMF8_I9505XXUBMF8_HOME.tar)
i can go to Download mode and recovery sometimes the recovery doesn't show up just the wallpaper.
Can someone PLEASE help.

Flash Philz Touch recovery with Odin 3.04 in downloadmode, that should solve your problem.Link http://d-h.st/wSF. TWRP and CWM are buggy atm. After that you can flash Fox Hound Rom again.

did odin says "pass"?
bootloop fix:
-wipe cache and data from recovery, if not,
-restore nandroid backuo if present. if not,
-flash stock firmware with odin, make wipe after flashing, if not,
-flash pit file with the firmware in odin, make wipe after flashing.

Guys, I need some help with my Galaxy S4 - 9505.
I'm running Omera rom with TWRP recovery.
I had one random restart and decided to wipe cache and dalvik. But I can't. , recovery report that cache could not be mounted.
I changed recovery with PhilZ but its the same. Also the partition size is shown 0MB.
This is the second time i got this issue.
Could anyone of you help me to understand why this happen?

First you should do a nandroid backup.
Your best bet is to do a system reset (under settings in the phone) and then download the stock odin
flash pre-rooted i9505 rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409867
Odin flash it and then check out the phone make sure all is well.
After that get the Odin flashable Philz, CWM or TWRP recovery and flash it, (or simply use goomanager to get twrp)
then get the latest update of SuperSU and flash that in recovery. (both goomanager & superSU are free apps at the playstore)
Then after checking everything out making sure everything is working properly make another nandroid backup.
After that flash any of the i9505 compatible custom rom you like.
@Misterjunky, thanks for the reply.
I actually have done this first time i got this issue, so did same and now.
More or less I try to understand why cache got corrupted? And could this be some kind of hardware issue with the internal memory.
Hello people my phone getting old i think 1.5 year so far my phone started to freeze having lags getting too hot while browsing. And bootloops started without flashing anything. First bootloop happened 2 weeks ago. Today happened again twice i wiped dalvik cache and everything is fine how can i fix it? I thought rom cause it i flashed stock firmware rooted it and removed bloatware. Still happens lags,freeze,getting too hot and bootloop. Is it lollipop update? I never had this issues with kitkat. How can fix this and keep my alive?

Try a full factory reset. Be careful as this will wipe your internal storage.

Thank you for your answer but I did it after flash stock rom via odin. Wiped data / factory reset , cache partition , mounted cache , system , data , wiped dalvik cache..
Wiping data does not equal a factory reset. Wiping data does just that, wipes user installed apps. But generally leaves the internal storage alone.
A factory reset returns the phone to the settings it came out of the factory with, including a clean internal storage(If you have the stock rom). I heard that changing roms and just wiping data, dalvik and cache will still leave behind some files.
But it could also be untrue.

Flashing stock rom is same with factory reset i think clears everything.
I don't know. Haven't flashed stock on this device yet.
But don't most guys recommend doing a wipe before going back to stock?
I dont know i'll try that when i have free time. I did research some guys saying lollipop causing these problems. I'll try wipe before flash stock rom again , if issues keep happen i'll use lates 4.4.2 custom rom. Thank you for your answers i'll report back.
Real reset
This method will wipe everything, including operating system and efs files. Before you do this:
you must root
Download twrp recovery
Install the recovery using the app from the play store
Boot into recovery mode and have twrp backup everything
save your backup to an SD card and the computer (can't hurt to have two backups)
Doing the above will preserve your phone important data like your imei and efs
in case something goes wrong.
NOW
after you have backed everything up use twrp recovery to wipe data. Have twrp wipe everything except for your SD card (don't won't to lose the backup)
After everything has been obliterated have twrp boot you into download mode.
Download Odin from XDA preferably 3.09 (most stable release) and then grab an official stock firmware from a trusted source. The latest stock firmware should be at least 4.4.2
If you have carriers other than t-mobile you will also need to find a PIT file for partitioning.
When you have all of this open up Odin with your phone connected in download mode and make sure repartitioning, clear efs and nand-erase is checked along with the defaults.
Select pda button and choose your firmware (unzipped tar.md5 format.) Then select repartitioning PIT file button and direct to where you have the PIT file downloaded.
now click start (be sure that the Com port is recognized by Odin: will be highlighted in blue or yellow.)
This will take a while depending on your computer.
when it finishes your phone should reboot with a fresh os and filesystem. If you get stuck in a bootloop reboot into recovery mode and do a wipe data and wipe cache. Reboot and your phone should be good as new.
IMPORTANT!!! It is vital you keep your TWRP backups for as long as you have your phone if you lose them and something goes wrong while flashing your phone you will lose important things such as IMEI baseband which will prevent you from connecting to your network and Sim card recognition.
Thank you so much i'll try this now.

Is that another custom recovery?
If so then yes just make sure you have all of your system files and most importantly your efs backed up.
Run odin as administrator if that doesnt work, try using another version of Odin.

What carrier are you using, model number of the phone, etc.
Have you backed everything up? And can you flash the custom recovery through Odin if it fails?
Try it without wiping efs first just to be safe
Look here for your device you will be able to find standalone flash able versions of twrp that should work through odin.

Hey,
i have TWRP installed and had the samsung galaxy s8 port running for about 1 year without problems. Since a couple of days it doesnt boot into the ROM anymore. So i went into TWRP and tried a restore of a backup. The backup process just freezes somewhere and i have to restart the phone. I also tried clean flashing a couple of ROMs but every installation is crashing.
TWRP has never crashed before so i'm guessing Hardware is broken?
Or is it possible that it ****ed up my partition table? it always crashes when trying to install or restore system partition. Also repairing the file system fails with error 4.
Any help is welcome, thx!
flash newest twrp again, partition, full wipe and install rom. of that doesnt help thsn flash stock with odin and go all the way to custom
