Help my gt-i9505 stocked on samsung logo..

i will tell all the information here..i have my samsung gt-i9505 carrier locked to globe telecom here in the philippines..
i tried to factory unlock here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683 but i have no luck on it..i have change my baseband several time via odin but still i pin request always shows after i reboot..i have android version 4.2.2, stock firmware DXUBMF8.
so i stopped from there..i moved on to try to root my s4,before having this phone i had owned a s4 factory unlock and i have had rooted it but i already forgot how to do it again..so started anew by looking again at forum threads,i have tried omega custom rom but if i goes to recovery mode my screen only shows the following options: reboot system now, apply update from ADB, apply update from external storage, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, apply update cache..my question here was,is this the default recovery mode of s4 now?because i can still recall that my last s4's default recovery menu shows with advance option with wipe dalvik cache etc..and my recovery menu now shows no apply update from internal storage..when i tried flashing the custom rom save on my sd card: apply update>omega*something*.zip..it all well done but after rebooting my phone didn't any stuff from that custom rom nor rooted at all..can you help me solving this?
and lastly this is my main problem now,i searched again the thread and went down to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824 i downloaded the pre-rooted rom XXUBMF8..flashed it with odin PDA..passed and from then my phone was stocked every time i reboot to samsung logo..
i have tried to flash again on a stocked rom. odin>PHONE>(the stock rom)>start>passed then reboot it still stocked to samsung logo..
sorry this was too long to read but i have to tell what all i have been done resulting to this..can someone help me..i will be very thanful for your help..

can anyone help me with this?i have been searching the forum for hours..i have done flashing through odin with stock rom and pit file but it ended up failed..done factory reset with default recovery mode but nothing happens still stucked on boot logo..

The recovery your talking about is cwm not default s4 recovery you'll find that recovery here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281367
After its installed try wiping data then cache then going into advanced and wiping dalvik cache
S4 Info

did you try from the stock rom to go to recovery many and wipe to factory default again...
Have you tried to install a recovery like Philz and see if you can access the file system of your GS4.
You'll also find more wiping option
Edit: oh great some1 posted before me.
also try to do it from your official rom

In the Thread you point out... read AGAIN about PIT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Download the PIT and follow the exact procedure... it's not like flashing a new firmware so read which boxes you check
Try the PIT file with / without the firmware
check also this thread... in case you have a pit related error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283919
I'm sure you have all you need to recover your phone.
When you will have recovered your phone, update this thread saying you solved your problem.
check also this thread... in case you have a pit related error.
OH, don't forget to update my thanks counter

Hello,
I saw an answer to this problem in another thread. You have to swipe the phone by starting it with VOLUME UP + HOME + POWER, and then whatever options you have to swipe everything.

Problem SOLVED!!!
hey guys i have solved my greatest problem since i started rooting back on my N7100,my 1st s4 and now my new s4..
thank you for all who helped me,after more than 24hours of reading and waiting for you replies and doing some intervention on my s4,i have recover it..i will post here how i did it for reference for others who might encounter this problem same as mine:
first of all i have noticed this just after successfully revived my phone, you have to WIPE THE DATA/FACTORY REFORMAT via recovery mode before and after doing any firmware update,then i just removed my battery may be a minute and put it back again every time i do flashing..
i used odin version 1.85 not version 3.04..i first chose the pit file and flash it.(when i tried flashing the pit and stock rom together it always ended up to fail)..so i decided to chose to flash the pit file only using odin v1.85(it automatically ticked the "repartition option on this odin version" then it passed..after that as i have said remove battery,wipe data,then i removed again the battery,then put it back and do download/odin mode on my phone,then i flashed stock rom from www.sammoble.com, i searched for globe carrier since my phone was locked on that carrier, then after 2-3minutes(be patient and don't do anything while waiting) my phone backed to life!!!

[Q] 4.4 Update via Odin Fail, Phone Bricked

I tried to install the 4.4.2 N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_N9005XXUENA2 update on my Note 3 via odin 3.09.
Got an ext4 update failed error.
After this, the phone's bricked and is stuck on the Kies Recovery Screen. I tried to go into recovery mode in Kies, but it says this model does not have initialization.
I tried installing a 4.3 N9005XXUDMK3_N9005TNLDMK1_N9005XXUDMK2, but again failed. Download mode shows SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot] Fused 3 > Binary 2
Can someone please guide me to unbrick my phone?
I don't know what ROM I was on initially. It was the stock ROM that came with the phone.
I dont have CWM and TWRM installed.

This is not a brick at all. Just add a .pit file and restart the upgrade via Odin again.
You should be fine.

Thank you for that advice. How do I add a .pit file, and would you happen to have a link where I can download it from?

I tried a variety of N9005 .pits and each time, it shows PIT FAIL: TOTAL SECTORS (30777344) :crying:

(Read OP) . Try flashing the polish firmware again with odin v1.85 and try using different usb ports. Close most of your running applications such as firefox skype etc that can interrupt the process and flash official firmware.

You won't be able to downgrade back to 4.3 - Use the PDA slot on ODIN and try flashing again.

Solution
I also have Hong Kong N9005 32GB with N9005XXUBMI5 PDA, tried to flash 4.4.2 with Odin and stuck at "invalid ext4 image", was't able to flash anything after it.
But after 16 hours I finally found a solution:
1. Get leaked Polish ROM (that one with 4 files, do not use the official - it has one file rom)
2. Extract archive
3. Extract "CSC_OXX_N9005OXXENA5_327209_REV03_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar" and get your pitfile - HLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit
4. Flash your phone with this pitfile and other 4 files from archive (I used Odin 3.09) with repartitioning enabled.
After this procedure I have fully working android 4.4 :victory:

Try with different cables, PCs, or put files in BL. And make sure you're not on Chinese Pit.

Already tried mentioned method. Except Chinese pit. How to check that? And i think Chinese pit change can be issue because this happened after i flashed the first Chinese lollipop rom when it was officially launch for Chinese.
Can you guide me through this and help me?
Thank u so much.

Get an International pit arround XDA or use SamFirm with "Binary Nature" checked and flash it along firmware with Odin.
If you use SamFirm method, you'll have 4 files (Pit is inside CSC tar.md5). Put these 4 files on Odin and tick Re-partition.

Hi. I tried every thing. But still the deep sleep, random hangs and slow working of phone continues on lolipop rom.
This all started when i tried to flash some miui rom and i not able to flash as i think it was not for my i9500. After that i again flashed aurora v4.0 but started facing deep sleep, and slow working issue. Then i tried flashing ozcan kitkat rom and the again all become normal.
So basically my phone is not working good at lolipop rom (earlier it worked great) and works good in kk rom (ozcan).
So can you suggest what can be done? or how could i locate the problem and rectified it.

I don't have any idea for this.
I loved CM-based ROM and I would stay on it as long as it doesn't have any major bugs.
For MIUI by gtbluesky, use CWM. Or you can remove 'assert' word on first paragraph until 'abort{This is for ja3g...}' on updater-script file.

I tried installing the proper firmware but when I try using that it fails and my phone then reads "SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 3 BINARY 2"

Can you still get into download mode? I'm thinking you rooted with the wrong version. Are you on 5.1.1 or 6.0.1?

Can you still get into download mode? I'm thinking you rooted with the wrong version. Are you on 5.1.1 or 6.0.1?

Okay so I tried it but since my phone doesn't turn on I cant put in the files from that link, I tried using oden and it failed again. On Odin it says Pass but my phone continues to say Kernel is Not seandroid enforcing, I've been at this for so long and I can't find a fix :'(

Where did you get your stock firmware from to flash with odin?
Is it a 3 file flash or a single large file which you place in the AP slot?
I find the 3 file ones are better as it contains the firmware, bootloader and correct files all for the same version/model.
Try sammobile, the download is slow if you don't have premium access to the download site.
You can also try the program kies or whatever the recovery program is these days, I remember with my note having exhausted all possibilities using it and it actually worked. It's slow but might bring your phone back to life.
Looks like the recovery program lies is now called smart switch...

It's a three file flash I believe, I've just been putting one huge file in the AP, I haven't heard of the three file thing, I've tried the Sammobile firmware stock too and it hasn't worked. It fails on Odin. Do you know anything else I could try?

You could try grabbing TWRP recovery and flashing that with odin. That could give you access to a recovery to wipe and factory wipe. You could grab a custom rom and use TWRP to install that.
If you could find the 3 file flash it might help because it will have the right bootloader/firmware/csc for your phone.
Just a quick thought... Have you tried running odin with administration rights in Windows? And is it the latest version of odin?

Sorry this is really late, apparently nothing worked, I took it to the uBreakiFix and they apparently had to install the firmware by it's build number which took like a week cause I had to go through every single build number. But thank you very much for your help

Soft Bricked S4

*****************Thread can be closed as issue has been resolved*****************
I think I have soft bricked my phone.
I tried this tutorial and everything went according to the instructions except that the wifi couldn't be turned on.
So I opened a thread asking for help regarding my wifi, I was advised to flash a custom ROM (Android 5.0.1 Lollipop SDK 21) thru TWRP but I must have done something wrong because the phone was stuck in Android System Recovery.
Then I was advised to flash the original firmware thru Odin (Android 4.2.2) and that's where I think the brick happened.
The phone can go into download mode but there is a gray line that says "Write protection: Enable" and everything I try to flash thru Odin gives the same fail error:
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Urgent help is much appreciated as I have no other phone and I have been incommunicated for a week+ now
UPDATE:
I just tried to go into Android System Recovery just now it worked! I swear I wasn't able to. It says on top:
LRX22C.I337UCSGOK3 (I was on NB1, where could have this come from?)
And has a couple extra options I had never seen before (last 3 or 4 from the list:
reboot system now (tried it and gets stuck on Samsung logo)
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
apply update from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
reboot to bootloader
power down
view recovery logs
Enable cp logging
Disable cp logging
At the end of the recovery screen there are 2 lines in red:
failed to mount "/system" (Invalid Argument)
E: failed to mount /system (Invalid Argument)

What is the model # in download mode?

It says:
Product Name: SGH-I337
PS: Sorry I didn't specify because I thought this forum section was only that model.

The bootloader on the sgh-i337 is locked while the bootloader on the sgh-i337m is unlocked. which means you cannot flash TWRP or CWM to the sgh-i337.
Look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-to-update-to-i337oc3-5-0-1-keeproot-t3075814 and note the following comments from that thread.
Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.
2. The process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, and Stock Recovery.
3. No need to wipe prior to flashing! The ROM will automatically perform a factory data reset.
4. If you are not already rooted (or to unbrick) you must first flash the I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.tar (use Odin's PDA slot (AP in Odin v3.09+).​

Mine is not the "M" version.
What am I supposed to get from those notes? Are you suggesting I follow the steps in that thread?
I'm not too technical, but I can follow steps.

If you are to unbrick you must first flash the I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.tar (use Odin's PDA slot (AP in Odin v3.09+)

What bootloader are you on? Only the MDL bootloader can use the 4.2.2 Odin firmware.

Is the bootloader that one at the top of the Android System Recovery? If so, mine says:
LRX22C.I337UCSGOK3

It seems that I already had tried this because when I extracted the file it had to be replaced on my Desktop. Anyways I tried it again and it said the same thing:
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

UPDATE:
Somehow I can go into recovery now and it says LRX22C.I337UCSGOK3 and unable to mount /system. Please refer to first post for complete info about this.

Publish the Odin log of possible.
You tried using different usb cables and usb ports?

I have successfully flashed stuff using this cable. I do swicth usb ports every time I get a fail just to make sure.
I really think the fail is due to the "Write Protection: Enabled" legend that appears on my screen as it wasn't there before and I was able to flash without mayor issues.
I'll try using a new cable now but I don't think I'll get a different result.
Will post the entire logs when I do.

You were on the OK3 bootloader. Now you're on the NB1 bootloader. You're stuck with using safe strap recovery and can only boot custom ROMs based on touchwiz as your bootloader is locked and can no longer be exploited with loki doki.

Thanks for the info! I won't be messing with my phone any more, haha :victory:

Glad you got it fixed
I always have a few Samsung cables on hand for flashing.
