Wipe data doesnt wipe at all

I have the Galaxy Y of a co-worker, it suddendly started FC everything, till it just reboots.
I tried to open recovery and do wipe data / factory reset, and yet its like nothing, it goes up right where it was.
Its stock rom with hebrew, and I couldnt find this rom to re-flash it with odin, so im kinda stuck.
Anyone has recommendations what to do in such situation?
The hebrew menus (& RTL of course) is very important

Have you tried with CWM recovery by first going to mounts and storage then mount /data and then wiping it?

Actually, download this cwm zip:
http://www.mediafire.com/?22sf24gvospcf20
Now go into recovery mode, choose to apply update from sdcard and locate the downloaded zip and choose it.
You will be in CWM recovery, now follow the steps i told you on my previous post.

I found hebrew rom for the device, which i neeed to flash with odin.

Im familiar with the process, i do it on my wife's S2 several times..I plug the phone when its in download mode, but odin doesnt show it recognizes it.
Its like the entire computer doesnt recognize it.

its drivers are nt installed...
First disable/uninstall kies for better response...
Now install samsung drivers found in doky's odin thread...
..
Boot ur phone in download mode..
Now connect usb nd ta-da...
Its done.. Just flash now..
Make sure u hv nt ticked on re-partition, bootloader or pit file..
** rooting is new for me,
nd i am a noob to root....**

well, it worked eventually, i managed to flash a new rom but its stuck on boot screen, the one with model name and code .."Samsung Galaxy Y young GT-S5360"
I tried two firmwares, it happens with both..
What should I try next?

strange...
Try another flash..
** rooting is new for me,
nd i am a noob to root....**

tried, but then it bootloops
all the times i tried to flash both pda + phone or pda+phone+csc
when i tried pda only, it flashed ok but now its stuck on the start screen again.

Odin shows success right...
Post the coding at the down-left side of odin application with pda in pda...modem in phone nd csc in csc...nothing else..!!
Just copy paste...
Sry bt u hv to flash stock rom via odin again..
** rooting is new for me,
nd i am a noob to root....**

try to use another odin...

I downloaded the "S5360_XXKK6_OXXKK2_XXKK5_by_Doky", inserted all files to odin and the output is:

then the screen flashes with the device model, and it passes to next screen..the samsung audio & logo is on screen
and then it keeps looping in that situation

use this odin bro maybe it will help...

it doesnt seem to help..
i tried with one rom, with pit or without..it ends the same
could it be some hardware defect? :|

If boot loops comes then do wipe data from recovery
NOTHING TO SEE HERE

i did it every time (also cache) when i flashed with odin
could it be something else?
i tried pit + pda, pit+pda+phone, pit+pda+phone+csc
all of the above without pda, or any sub-group of these items..
it ends the same

Then service centre is the only option...sry..
Now flash ur region's firmware
And go to service centre and tell them it happened all of a sudden..
Nd act like a dumb who don't knw
Anything abt xda or rooting or odin or recovery mode or anything

Put phone in download mode, press vol down + power + home button all at the same time until the warning message appears then let go of the buttons. Finally press vol up. You can check there if reactivation lock is off or on.

Yes, I was able to get superuser working on 4.4, but when I tried to install TWRP via goomanager, something happened and I got stuck in a boot loop, I think it screwed up my recovery. I never got CWM or TWRP working so maybe I didn't actually have it successfully rooted.

That is because that file is for 4.3 and you already have the 4.4.
I checked twrp and it doesn't have an updated one for sprint 4.4 but it has a N9005 4.4 which actually worked on my phone even though I'm using a N900W8. If you want to try it out, download here.

I'll give it a shot, I don't really have anything to lose. I just bought the phone 3 days ago and I noticed I tripped a Knox 0x1 - but they said I have 30 days to return the phone so I might be able to get away with a swap....... hopefully

I337UCUFNC1 for Odin?

Hello guys... I was given a phone that I can keep and use if I fix it, but this phone is stuck on the open padlock/custom logo just stays there (if I try to go to recovery it says AT&T found unauthorized software). I fixed that by flashing stock NC1 Recovery but that only eliminated the unauthorized software message. I have read every thread and tried everything... Even flashed NC1 Modem and Kernel also since I found them... Only thing I have yet to try is flash a full I337UCUFNC1 via Odin but cant find it (At least not free). It seems this phone will only take NC1 stuff. Any help on getting the full I337UCUFNC1 Rom for Odin will be appreciated. I have the zip version but that does not work form DL mode...
More info:
Galaxy S4 i337
Binary: Official
System Status: Custom
Knox void: 0x1
CSB-Config-LSB: 0x30
Write protection: Enabled
eMMC Burst Mode: Enabled

You can Odin flash NB1. That will work even on NC1.

Two brand new original cables, brand new usb/charging connector (Tried connector in another i337 and works fine), all usb ports tried on both pc's. It starts flashing then after a while I hear the usb disconnect and reconnect sound and Fail. I can flash nc1 modem, kernel and recovery all day without problems that gets me out of the Kies screen but no recovery either It gets stuck at the "Custom" logo with the "Recovery booting" on top left. if I flash a custom recovery i get the AT&T unauthorized software message. I'm writing this thread because I read and read and read and can't find a solution. Tried Odin 1.85, 3.07 and 3.09 all with same results. I was thinking maybe if I flash a full NC1 rom for Odin I can get it to work since all NC1 stuff flashes ok.

The only way I can get the progress bar to reach at least 98% is if I discharge the phone by briefly connecting the battery backwards (1-2 seconds). I have tried the NB1 file from different places all with the same result. Is there any way to convert the NC1 flash for TWRP recovery to .tar?

Ok... I was able to do a full flash "Pass" in Odin... BUT still stuck on Custom Logo. I Used JFLTE_USA_ATT_16G.pit and AP_I337UCUEMK2_1921628_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5. Recovery also not working.

Seems I can flash MK2 all day long but nothing... Stuck at Custom logo and no recovery... If emmc is bad would it do a full flash at all? Did 2 full flashes with MK2 but everything else that I try to flash fails...

MK2 still does not make it boot but... Any ideas why I can flash MK2 ROM and not NB1 ROM???

I extracted system.img.ext4 from NB1 rom then converted to .tar using cygwin, all the bars loaded in odin but right at the point where it is supposed to reboot it failed. Should I try flashing with z3x?

I was going through the posts and realized how helpful you were to a noob like me who helped me to install a stock custom rom i think i forgot to turn off the updates or something apprently my phone was initially stuck in bootloader the atnt now it wont even show the atnt logo keeping my fingers crossed that i havent screwed my phone
My phone can go in the android system recovery <3e>

if i am not wrong i cant just install any custom rom since bootloader is still locked i dont know for sure
in the screen below

applied the csc-code: ATT
Successfully applied multi - CSC
what have i tried uptill now
just wipe data/factory reset
can you help ?

Can you get into recovery mode? If it is just stuck booting to download mode only, then it sounds like you need to ODIN back to stock or use a debrick image. Your bootloader is locked so no TWRP recovery can be installed. You can use flash fire, which is like safe strap sort of, but your phone has to be booted into Android for it to work.

You are on the OC3 bootloader right? Try to install golden eye ROM, which is touchwiz based. Since the bootloader is locked, you can only install touchwiz based ROMs and I think Google play edition ROMs. Trying to install cyogen mod or any other AOSP ROM won't work. Have you tried finding the debrick image or the stock ODIN tar file? With all those errors, I would try one of those routes.

Nope It won't brick it. Odin is pretty much the best fall-to option for every Samsung device whenever stuff like this hapoen. If you said you had developer mode on and USB debugging on then Odin is your best choice. First get Odin. Then get the latest Samsung usb drivers. Install the drivers and I'm sure when you connect your phone to the pc while Odin is opened it would detects your phone. Then we'll be good to go forward

First of you need to get your phone in download mode. Im guessing you're on stock recovery so that won't be of much help. If only your recovery was twrp recovery. But then I know your variants come with locked bootloader's so that won't be possible. Turn your phone off and press the hot keys to get your phone into download mode then connect your phone to the pc and open Odin. If it detects then we download a stock firmware of your phone's rom and flash it using odin. You can get a firmware to flash for your device from here:

all the links are dead one more thing i have some roms downloaded but they are not in the tar or md5 format is there anyway around it while using odin

This is another link I found to a lollipop firmware for your phone. And about converting ROMs to tar files yh it's possible. Mostly they are just different compression methods and could be extracted and modified to make a .tar file. But it can be tricky and can **** up if you miss any step. Let's try and make that a last resort

in my previous recovery i got it restart to bootloader this recovery KOT49H doesnt have it i cannot connect it to odin anymore is phone gone ???

Nope....on the contrary we are actually making progress. It's now shifted from a bootloader problem to a bootloop problem. I did some research and found out that the lolipop update was actually causing some bootloops on the s4 after installation. I'm going to dig in and try to find a fix for the bootloop. There are a lot of threads on xda addressing fixes for that problem. I'm sure we will find a working fix for it. You can try searching too.

Ok let's review what we have going on so far. Sorry for being away for so long though. Have been tight for some time now. So now:
No recovery mode? And by that I mean no stock recovery mode?
No download mode?
