that's just a soft brick...
If u have orignal bill and have not rooted the phone before,go to a Samsung care and have it fixed.
Dont mess with it anymore,u may trip Knox,resulting in warranty void
edit:wait,u have custom system status,download a 4.4.2 for ur region and flash it

3. Try with other USB port to flash the firmware 4.4.2 again.

are u worried abt ur warranty?
coz if u flashed stock 4.3 then knox was installed too ..
and with knox tripped, u loose ur warranty ..
If u don't care abt that, wipe clean everything then flash any rom, it will do fine..

Hello guys,
I need your help again!
I recently changed my i9100g with this other device, GT-I9505 Italian version, no brand.
The history of this device was quite this: stock FW until 4.3 (just my suppose) --> CM11 --> try to flash 4.2.2 stock --> brick @[email protected]
Now I tried to put the original 4.4.2 firmware by flashing with Odin v3.09, because I don't want custom rom for the moment, just make it work.
The problem is that the phone stucks at Samsung logo, and when I tried to go in recovery mode, it stays on the same logo but there's a blue write in the top left corner "Recovery Booting".
Do you have any suggestion?
TY in advance

Flash the stock rom again..and do NOT check autoreboot in odin.
The straight away boot into recovery, factory reset it..and you'll boot

-Open odin
-Uncheck autoreboot
-Add your firmware file to the AP/PDA section
-Start the process
When this will end, your ohone wont boot automatically (obviously)
After 2-3 minutes start it, if it turns on properly congo..
If it doesnt..just boot into recovery (volume up+home button+power button) and perform a data wipe.
If this does not helo at all, download the LATEST KITKAT 4.4.2 UNBRANDED again for your phone as it can be a bad download issue too.

I would try another firmware less recent, just to see what happens...
But I have great news: Philz touch works, so now I have a working custom recovery!
the problem is that I can't just flash a custom ROM to repair
I think I need the pit file, but I can't find one on the internet @[email protected]

Y do you need a pit? Pit files are not to be played with and can possibly brick if not flashed with utmost care.
Try a stock firmware first. Dont try any stock firmware till you have a working phone..

I'm flashing this firmware: I9505XXUGNG8_I9505ITVGNG1_ITV
I was thinking about pit because the philz says strange errors:
failed to mount /data to setup /data/media, or something like this... and also other problems related to /sdcard
Have you an idea on what to do?

The pit file is right there in @samersh72s thread
In the attachments.
Flash properly after reading the OP very carefully and DO NOT SKIP ANY STEP OR MODIFY any
Still IMHO a data wipe after reflashing can fix your bootloop.

Help?
Sent from my GT-I9500 using XDA Free mobile app
I was thinking about a possible cause: could it be that I'm using a wrong firmware?
this device is used, so I supposed that it was ITV the correct firmware, but not 100% sure...
I'm just sure that it is no-brand.

On top of all advice given here...
Can you boot at all? what is the status at the moment , rom recovery?
I would try to flash a recovery first ( twrp , philz) see if it works , do a factory reset ( backup first) and try flashing a stock rom,,see if it helps

The situation is still the same, so in order:
I cannot boot a complete system, I just stuck on samsung i9505 logo with blue "Recovery Booting" written in top-left on the screen;
At the moment I'm reflashing ossessively the stock rom, and philz touch; I can go in DL mode and not in the stock recovery, but when I flash philz touch I can enter by double clicking vol up when I see the blue, red and yellow writes.
I cannot do a factory reset, that is the real problem I suppose, 'cause when I enter in philz recovery, it says: "error mount /data etc etc..." as you can see in previous posts.
In DL mode this is the situation:
PN: GT-I9505
Current binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0
Knox Warranty Void: 0x1
csb-config-lsb: 0x30
write prot: enabled

Followed that guide many times, but the result is stuck in Samsung Logo.
Even tried flashing PIT file, but nothing changed.
maybe flash just a stock recovery after the firmware could solve the problem?

Any time my friend
Help! I am still on stock kitkat and I have reactivation lock (yep I know thats the problem) on. Then I decided to install a custom recovery (twrp) via flashify and then I booted into recovery, now it says "custom binary blocked by reactivation lock" and "secure fail: recovery". If I try to reboot my phone it keeps booting into recovery mode.
My question is do I have to install the firmware all again or can I also install only the stock recovery with odin and make the phone work all again? If it is the second one... Can someone PLEASE upload a file of the kitkat recovery? Thx in regards!
dude install stock kitkat firmware for ur device and extract recovery.img inside the tar file then convert recovery.img to tar hope u understood

Hi Everyone,
So My Samsung Tab A 2016 wifi only T580, is literally dead, but not physically, so the problem is exactly the same as Saznat is this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/help/samsung-t580-update-failed-frp-locked-t3914729
My tab is like new not a single scratch on it :crying:
the tab is:
running android 8
frp locked
can't boot into recovery no matter what stock rom I flash, all I get is no command
I can't flash twrp, the tab won't allow it because of frp lock.
any new tricks to try to fix it from the experts will be appreciated
Anyone??

Hello @Leboboy19 ,
Can you try using Odin (newest version ) and flash the original stock rom that you had before messing around with custom rom. make sure to uncheck re-partition. you may have to flash the stock boot and stock recovery .img which you will find on shellbox firmwares.
If that does not work can you try flashing the twrp md5 for that device . let me know

Thanks for your message brother, you reminded me of the tab after giving up on it, after months of trying finally found a fix.
to anyone having this problem:
1. Download your latest stock
2. extract it and swap the recovery.img with a recovery.img from a combination file that matches your binary number
3. Enjoy Your Recovered Tablet or sell it like me:laugh:
