Hey.
I got my new S4 a few days ago. It was working perfectly.
I rooted it and installed (ATOM v1.0 ROM) 5.0.1 Lollipop and few things happened. I had no range - the device couldn't see my SIM card.
I decided to install another ROM and since then I'm stuck in a boot loop. Download mode is working.
Recovery mode? Even when i wipe my phone and reset it to the factory settings it's still stuck in boot loop.
Any help?
PS. Sorry for bad grammar somewhere.
Regards.

Flash stock rom using odin...
That's the main thing - I can't flash anything though the odin, because it's always stuck at "SetupConnection"
Something is wrong with the drivers? Are you using the original Samsung USB cable? Did different USB ports and cables?

Hey,
I wanted to flash the new stock I9500XWUBMG1,
I have quite a bit of experience doing it so I plugged my phone and odin wouldn't recognize it.
Tried a few things, and found out that it was recognized while not using download mode (but just having the phone on).
So I connected it to odin while it was on and then turned it off and put it to download mode, at this point the phone was recognized but appeared twice (the COM of the turned on phone and the one of the download mode).
I proceeded to try and flash it, and got an error quite qucikly.
After that error I can still get into download mode but no recovery or anything.
Tried flashing stock ROM again with/without PIT file, tried flashing CWM recovery with/without PIT file.
Right now I'm basically lost with nothing to do.
Is there a way to fix this that I haven't tried? What are the chances that hardware went bad and in need for replacement?
You could try...
Maybe it is just a soft brick that has occurred and nothing wrong with your actual phone hardware. Have you tried a different usb port? The only other thing I can think of is maybe having a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41072426
Using a different USB port I was able to repartition while flashing only a recovery (Philz touch),
Still I'm getting errors trying to flash the entire ROM.
I am now thinking of trying to flash a custom ROM (wanamlite) from the recovery mode.
What do you guys think?
EDIT: That did it, running on wanamlite.
Hello guys i was trying out the new Kangabean 4.3. ROM for my AT&T and after flashing it in TWRP it appears I has softbricked my device. I can only boot into download (odin) mode and it stays on "downloading now".. Anyhow i cannot boot into recovery it just vibrates to confirm my input and just revibrates and revibrates... Looked all over for guides and tried to return it to factory settings on Kies but it does not detect my phone... Any help would be great i need this phone for work everyday!!!

Please search for similar threads. This same issue is being posted over and over and over again. When you were making this post, what "similar threads" or "similar topics" showed up? Did you check them for a solution?
yes sorry i looked at all of them and they all involved well just flashing the stock rom but i cant get my computer to see my gs4 on download mode...i got the drivers and odin installed.
Well, this thread has a couple of ideas...

You might also want to look at the TWRP thread in the development section.
Try again to get into recovery, the key sequence can be tricky, make sure you are doing it just right. "Doing it just right" has been discussed many times.
Also, look at this thread, maybe it will help...

Yea, I realize that thread is about MF3, but it still has ideas that might help you.
There are also a ton of threads about how to get your PC to recognize ODIN.....search.......good luck.
yeah ive been at it for hours man those links can all access the recovery i cant... i tried everything got the drivers up tried all the odins and its just stuck on "downloading do not turn off target" and my pc doesnt see it...
Odin finally recognized it on the pc in download mode and i was able to flash the stock rom but it seems it wasnts successful...it still just vibrates and vibrates when i press the power...
Try flashing the open recovery.

Take battery out, back in, power+volumedown, download mode, Install Samsung Kies, do Kies update, connect to PC, Tools-> firmware initialization, take battery out and type model/serial Number, wait patiently until it finishes.
Try different USB port or different PC. Use stock USB cable comes with original box.
If Kies screen get stuck at model number section, you did flash MF3 triangle thingy -> unsolveable brick. Have to go thorugh warranty replacement.

Hi, I've got a HUGE problem.
Today I decided to root my G2 d802 (european free distribution) and flash a CM rom.
After cleaning dalvik and factory reset i tried to flash this rom but Status 7 showed up.
So, I tried to launch G2 and find a solution for it but it started to boot loop.
Okay.
Even worse, (don't ask how, but it wasn't me!) there PROBABLY was format /system,,
After that my G2 stucks on LG logo and nothing else happens. No loop no anything. I can only go into recovery while seeing white screen asking if I agree to do format. Everytime, but it never boots normally, it's always stuck.
So, what can I do?
I can't access the phone from my computer while beeing in the recovery (it appears as a device, but i cannot access it..).
I can only use recovery
LG G2 D802
CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.4
Sorry for bad english, not my native language.
Help me, please! How can I unbrick my G2?!
So I tried to flash Stock rom, but when in download mode G2 isn't considered as plugged into a computer. LG Mobile Support Tool can't find the device... Any help?

There is a way to probably fix it but if you cant just put your phone in the water till it breaks and use your warranty to get another one thats what I did with my D801 when it bricked

Nevermind. It came back to boot loop, so it's not bricked.
But i've got some problems.
Mainly - i still can't access my phone through my computer.
When i try to flash Stock Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 this thread) i recive: http://i.imgur.com/ijSgtwp.png - screenshot from Device Manager when in download mode: http://i.imgur.com/kMLCW7t.png and when in recovery: http://i.imgur.com/wGU6qnz.png
So we're back into boot loop.
Any help? Please?
Can you attach an otg card reader or flash memory stick from recovery?
adb sideload helps you. or adb push
The problem is, because of a tutorial on my local Android site which tells how to unloop boot in G2 I've got TWRP now instead of CWM (it was about access to terminal something and writing a command, but it didn't do ****, but it seemed to work for few people), and it would be fine, but... now computer doesn't recognize my phone. Unidentified Devices: LG G2-D802, so I can't access sideload...

I've got OTG Cable (bought for my Nexus 7) somewhere, but none of above.
LOL NEVERMIND
Becouse I had nothing to lose i decided to try to flash CM and it worked.
CWM couldn't flash it for 5 times, TWRP did it immediatly.
Topic closed, thank you for your responses.
You need to first download the kdz and lg flash utility with drivers.
Install drivers
The factory reset deleting system, cache, internal sd.
Then shutdown your g2.
Start to downloaded mode connecting your g2
Flash kdz & voila... Done
I too bricked my phone before. My flashing stuck at 49%. Recovered using above method, all is well now
This works 1000%. I bet on it. Just remember to wipe the phone completely before flashing. You will return to stock with unrooted status in download mode. U will have your warranty back too

Hello!I need urgent help.I tried to install TWRP on my friend's phone using an app called Rashr.After it is installed it says that I need to reboot my device.So I did that.After rebooting it went straight to Download mode.It just stuck there.I have tried everything,from using odin (It won't detect my friend's phone),to using ADB (It also won't detect my friend's).I really has to fix his phone ASAP.Thanks!
(Note #1: Sorry for my terrible English )
(Note #2:I have used ADB before to fix my phone (Core Prime) when it was stuck in bootloop)
There's no way to get it working without Odin.
So try everything you can find online to make the PC detect the phone.
After that you should try flashing a bootloader (the same one that's already on the phone if possible). I'm almost certain that it will make the phone boot.
And then you can also proceed to flash the recovery with Odin.
And maybe this a silly question, but did you install the Samsung USB drivers?
Download the latest stock ROM from sammobile. Use the original Samsung USB cable and a USB 2.0 to flash the phone.
I like using Odin 3.07 as it has always been very stable for me: https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=...168421&usg=AFQjCNEdxqAS5QWImOPDJboTA_V3D5S9eA
