Galaxy S4 ( GT- I9515L ) - restarts and do not have access to recovery!! - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good evening guys , well I have a Galaxy s4 ( GT- I9515L ) .He hung from nothing and when I restart it, came into infinite lopping , I tried to access the recovery order it, but when I try ..he hangs in the message recovery booting and sometimes it restarts again. I've tried several ways to resurrect it , how to install other rom's and even install TWRP recovery , but it remains the same thing not out of it and is caught on the home screen . It works only download mode. Wanted a help to my case because I'm researching for a week and not find answers .. only people in the same situation as me. Thank you very much in advance!!
Note: He was routed , but I root it late last year.

I have the exact problem as you. Also, these guys have the same issue:

I've reached a dead end, maybe you'll have a better luck. My phone is dead, it will not even charge my battery. Dead, nada, new phone i guess.

I assume you tried stock ROMs, right?

it happened with me also, so here is the solution
1. remove ur battery and wait for 5 min.
2. insert ur battery and enter download mode
3.connect ur device to odin
4. now select a recovery file and tick nandroid erase and wipe partition
5. after installation is complete remove the battery and cable
6. insert battery
7. boom u can enter recovery
8. now install a custom rom.

Charge the battery using another phone and then enter download mode.
Then download a custom ROM on your PC and using the adb sideload function push the ROM to your device.

CWM + ROOT

This guide is no more. Due to the fact that seedrom193 had a guide made before this but with missing file issue, I did this one
to provide an easy way with more than one option.
seedrom193 fixed his guide now so I deleted this as I promised.
I leave the thread still existing for now. There might be some usefull info for someone to find.
Thank you.

First file still missing, and supersu wont be seen in app-drawer unless you download it from play as well.
Every app who wants su will just hang unless you do that because you cant grant or deny access.
I made total unroot today to figure this out, and that was what I came up with. Everything else failed.
About pictures - You can upload them directly to xda. No need to use another host.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong but when I rebooted the phone in 'download mode' it's stuck, saying "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!". What do I do now? I tried running Odin3 but it just said successful but I'm not sure if anything happened.
Update: I noticed that Odin doesn't recognize my drive so I guess it's just stuck in that 'download mode' and I think I know why. I read that the IMEI needs to be recognized and while this was probably not a smart move I followed this guide to root the phone before I put in my SIM card because I have to break it loose and after that I can't use it in my old phone. Question is, what the hell do I do now? Since it says I can't reboot it and I can't use Odin it's a bit of a dilemma.
Update 2: Nevermind, I had forgotten to update USB drivers and then reboot. Question, is it possible to continue without TriangleAway? They warned about potential bricking the phone and I'm not planning on flashing any ROMs at the moment.

Make sure to go to google playstore and download SuperSU and update it, afterwards just download Triangle Away and use it. I rooted my phone 2 days ago and everything is perfect.

Yes but I don't want the risk of bricking the phone. Assuming I don't get a power outage during activation with TriangleAway there's minimal chance that something gets screwed up?

No, it's not needed then but are you sure? Did you flash firmware or recovery?
On this phone you don't get a triangle on boot, but it's seen only in download mode.

I flashed it with CWM then rooted according to the guide, I don't think I know the difference between firmware or recovery.
Anyway, I haven't booted into download mode again to see as last time I could restart the phone so what do I need to do once I'm there to reboot again to normal mode in case I only want to see if the triangle is there?

[Q] Need help with my Nexus 4

Hi Guys, I would really apreciate some help with my nexus 4.
I think i wiped all the data and the image as well. basically there is no ROM on it any more.
Is unlocked and rooted. I can boot in recovery but i don't have any rom to pick up.
And now when i try to boot in recovery pops up on a black screen DOWNLOAD MODE do not unplug the device and it stays there stuck.
What can I do now?
Thanks

First thing first. Just go get the stock image here:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjwr66y
Then run flashall. That will get you back to a working device.
At that point you can go break it again.
I would suggest using efrant's guide on returning to stock. It may seem a little complicated for first time users, but once you get the hang of it you will understand it very easily. Also his guide is much safer than any toolkit

Most of the toolkits are perfectly safe and easy of used correctly. I can't see any reason a beginner should try to do this manually.

Have you backed up all of your SD card data?
To sort out this X logo loop..Try going to the recovery & do a factory reset.If it doesn't work then just lock & then unlock your bootloader..You will get your Rom Booted just fine

Root cause G9350 front camrea capture black

My English is bad, sorry.
I rooted my G9350 by odin flashing a TWRP recovery, but there is so many bugs that I can not stand, so I flash official ROM back.
But when I test front camrea by using system camrea app, I found the first shot is overturned, and after the second shot the photo become deep red black or color detached......
In "*#0*#" service mode, the front camrea is no any problem, in third-party camera app, the captured photo is also overturned.....
I have flashed back official ROM by using odin many times, but it does not work....
I have asked Samsung's support, they say they have no way to solve...
Who can help me? Thanks!
Have you tried a full factory reset? If you have, try to change storage location to SD or vice versa

How long do you wait? I have done this well over 18 times and all it does is go to the Samsung GALAXY Note 3 logo with the "unlocked" lock and stays there. I've waited for an hour to 45 minutes and never a thing. I always have to re-install OF1 wait a day for it to settle then er-root..... always.

How long do you wait? I have done this well over 18 times and all it does is go to the Samsung GALAXY Note 3 logo with the "unlocked" lock and stays there. I've waited for an hour to 45 minutes and never a thing. I always have to re-install OF1 wait a day for it to settle then er-root..... always.

When you set flashfire up make sure the last step is to flash the rom. You have to long press on the steps to move them around. Otherwise you may be installing the rom and then wiping it away.

Mike. It looks fine. We can unlock our phones now. So I suggest you unlock your phone so you can put a recovery on it..then you can install jasmine through recovery after you've backed up your stock. And if you still have issues you can just restore backup.. have you seen the threads about this?

Un-lock.........
I saw two different methods and I tried one but it did not work and the video of the other seemed very cumbersome plus the guy in the video keeps saying Verizon Note 3 but his phone appears to be another version, a N9005 not a N900V. His video is the one I use for trying the Jasmine 6.1 install also.
Send me a good link for the unlock if you could with good instructions. Now I have to re-load OF1 and wait for it to settle then try to re-root again.
Thanks,
GoNavyMike

No reason to settle in. Just root. Did you do it twice the adb instructions. Does not take the first time

And if unlock does not work no reason to redo firmware

And undo airplane mode..I'm not sure if that would screw things up but with all the trouble your having that's the only thing that that might cause problems

Jasmine..........
What do you mean by "twice the ADB instructions"? Plus I ALWAYS have to let it settle or it will not take the re-root.
I use to never have a problem rooting or flashing Roms, that was until LL. Not to mention that Titanium Backup is lousy now with LL. It constantly says insufficient space even after I deleted everything off my SD card. My SD card is a 64 Gb so I know I have plenty of space.
Since we're not getting MM, maybe I'll just wait for an exploit on it for my Note 3. I just don't know.

I've applied 0f1 firmware and rooted after setup. And the unlock by adb had to be done twice.. On terminal screen after unlock it stated to do it again..maybe its refined now

That's your best bet Mike. To root and unlock it ..once that is done jasmine through twrp should flow .And I would turn airplane mode off
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA-Developers mobile app
Airplane mode.......
I use airplane mode because where I live I have very lousy reception and it drains my battery fast trying to connect, so I use my wifi a lot at home. I will try regular and see how it works. I re-odined OF1 yesterday and today I re-rooted after I let it settle over night. I then used the .apk to unlock and all is fine it seems, so I will probably try to put either Jasmine or some other Rom on it tomorrow. It seems to always work better if I wait until the next day. I don't know why, but it does. What's the best custom Rom available now for a rooted unlocked Verizon Note 3?

Did you go into download mode and check to see if you have developer edition?
If so did you put recovery on?
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA-Developers mobile app
Checked....
I checked and it shows as Developer but the CID didn't appear to have changed. I re-booted to normal so not to risk losing anything thus far. So no, I have not put a custom recovery on it yet. Actually a little nervous about trying again right now.

No you really should ..download flashify from google .install it and grant it permission when you open it.. hit recovery. Top twrp install reboot..your recovery will start and you can chose to back up . I would call it stock rooted..to change name within backup click on top where it says auto generated and type whatever you want..then after its done hit home on bottom middle..then you can reboot system. Your all set for jasmine or whatever. It will only go into recovery with button sequence
Have you used a recovery before?

Can't you guys run whatever you basically want on sprint kernels? Usc and sprint are so close its sick...i used to have luck with sprint stuff all the time when i had tmo...
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk
I think you would have to do some editing and deleting but ya... I have usc and i can run most thing that is on the note 5 sprint... The only problem i had was. i cant seem to send picture messaging form sprint roms... I did get it to work one time but it was by luck.....im working on porting ux but i cant seem to get past this data issue that everybody is having problems with...im running out of time becasue the note 7 will be here soon.
i have tried a couple Sprint ones, and it gives me a reboot issue...sometimes it will make it 5 seconds, then reboot, other times it makes it 10 seconds'
I would recommend also rooting your stock usc kernel then backing up the rooted boot.img and reflashing it then latest supersu zip after installing any sprint rom...that way BL,CP, and kernel all match up and the rom is the only difference...

I was also thinking this, because i cannot get past phone set up in ANY builds i flash...maybe also the modem...
I have a twrp backup on my phone, i made AFTER i did the rooting, and SU...what way would you recommend extracting and reflashing from it?
im wondering if i can pull out MY boot.img and add it to a sprint rom before i flash it...hmm
Just flash the actual img file in twrp

From a twrp backup I'd use nandroid manager (from playstore) and it'll allow you to pull whatever you want from a twrp backup...
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk
NOPE..the answer it seems was much easier... I went in with twrp and made a backup of just my boot.img and my modem, and after i flashed the rom, before rebooting, i flashed that backup...seems to be working...ill let you all know
still no luck..trying again with just the boot.img

When twrp does a backup, i chose JUST boot.. Then i flashed MOAR and waited for it to boot.. got past the wifi setup to where it says it is seeting up phone for first time use.. this is where i always had problems.. so i waited there until it did a reboot, then button combo into recovery and then restored, using the backup with JUST the boot.img....and....
worked!!!!!!

Yup exactly! You can definitely do it like that, or you can extract the boot.img and flash that alone, either way...and if during this you ever boot loop at Sammy screenthen flash supersu zip nicely done!

Going to try a different rom... for some reason i couldnt connect, it wouldnt read my sim, and there was no "network" settings in the menu so i couldnt look at them. Flashing the backup of modem didnt fix it either

I can send you an edit ver of Moar 4.1 that works with usc ..just flash alway. 4g and everything works. If you are into pic message. Just download Google messaging . It should work just an FYI battery drain a lot.. working on it but very nice rom and I take no credit for this becasue I did not build this..

i think i found the issue!!! I backed up my modem and efs in twrp... Flashed the rom, and after, flashed a kernel i know works with the R4, and then went and restored my modem and efs...then, first boot...fired up with signal!!
