[Q] Soft bricked i9505

I tried flashing Omega ROM v21 but it kept me stuck on the bootscreen so I tried to reflash my phone with the stock firmware. Whenever I try this it however fails on aboot.mbn. I've read some stuff and it appears to be caused by the fact that OmegaV21 required the new bootloader and you are unable to flash to an older firmware than the bootloader. Is there a way to flash the old bootloader or flash a ROM via Odin that uses the new bootloader?

If u had new bootloader with OmegaV21 you cant come back to one older bootloader.
- Reboot in Recovery
- Wipe all (factory reset, data, system, cache, dalvik cache)
- Reboot in DOWNLOAD MODE
- Open Odin in ur pc
- Unrar and flash this FILE
- Wait till the process finish

You have to unzip and use this .PIT file and flashing it by ODIN with the firmware

Still does not work. Have tried Odin 3.07 and 1.85. Whenever I add the .tar to 3.07 it gets stuck on "Leave CS...". If I flash it it gets stuck on aboot.mbn. Same goes for 1.85 but this doesn't give me the Leave CS message. Afaik you only need to have AutoReboot ticked on right?

Think I'm better off taking it to a service center or just dropping my phone so it's broken and call up insurance? KNOX is 0x1 so I don't know if they'll repair it at a service center or are able to.

Mmkay I'll go bring it by a service center tomorrow then. Hope they can fix it even though I'm on a new bootloader :\

If you have the new Bootloader you'll have to flash Samsung latest 4.4.2 firmware using odin 3.09. If you want I can provide you a download link on pm

The link you provided is MKF and yes this is the last firmware release for Holland but it still uses the 4.3 Bootloader since its 4.3 firmware. That's the reason it gets stuck during flashing.

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..

[Q] [HELP] i9505 Recovery Booting Stuck

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.

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..

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

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?

i downloaded the root (but not from this website)on my note 3 (4g)
when odin finished ant type (pass) in green square my device restarted but didnt work correctly

i heard that there is a non erasable ROM can it helps?
Note: when i press Home+Power+VoiceUp the same problem occures (can't inter that mode)

Go to sammobile.com and download the firmware for your phone and flash it via Odin.

Thanks for replay audit13
but i want to ask, dose it erase the phone or not?

It will erase everything but should leave the data partition untouched. If the phone will not fully boot to the rom, you may have to perform a factory wipe in recovery.

please if you know any way help me
i did the big wrong when i didn't get backup

Data partition
can it helps me later to restore my data??
or NO WAY?

Any help please

You can root it with Kingo Root App.
Search on the Internet about this app

Reads as a failed flash to me .
Recovery wiped .
I would flash a recovery via Odin .
TWRP CWM or Philz Recovery .

Download your device specific TWRP 2.8.xx not TWRP version 3, Flash it with Odin in download mode...
I had similar issue in the past.
Download a device specific custom rom, dirty flash, connect to your computer, back up data and after that if there are force closes etc.,
Do a proper flash.
Hope this helps.
FYI., Kernel seandroid not reinforcing and Recovery seandroid not reinforcing warning appears when you run custom kernel & recovery.
Nothing to panic about. Just ignore it.

Exactly which model # do you have? Did you try flashing stock recovery?
You could try this: you could flash TWRP with Odin, boot into TWRP, mount the data partition, and pull the files from the partition.

Thanks every one
I solved the problem by reinstall cf-auto-root....
The file I downloaded was incomplete (29.7mb) but the new one is (30.6mb) it worked
thank you all.

I get it. You have issues with recovery i guess.
Where did you buy the phone? And also where did you download the firmware? and reply the name of the firmware you downloaded (ex:N9005XXUENC2_N9005OJVENB2_KSA)
Hope we can find a solution
EDIT: Didn't see that it was fixed... xD lol

Wow...

Cant boot, cant eneter recovery after flashing TWRP

hello everyone, my galaxy s8 was on stock rom, it was rooted with odin and super su, i made a mistake....
i installed twrp and wanted to flash it, it said that that it all flashed correctly, when i rebooted the phone it got stuck on the galaxy s8 logo, wont turn off and wont enter recovery mode, only thing i can do is enter download mode.
i tried to do whats written in this topic:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/stuck-bootloop-flashing-aqg5-fix-t3636857
im not 100% sure of my firmware version, its the one that came out with galaxy s8 when it launched 6.1 or 7.1
so i download the BL file to use it in odin, i tried the 1AQF7 and 1AQG7 also 1AGDG...
nothing helps, whenever i enter download mode and press START on odin with BL file added and straight away after pressing start hold down the volume down, plus bixby plus power i get the writing in odin NAND write start, i can never get beyond that, does that mean no matter how fast i try pressing all 3 buttons down, bixby and power i will never be able to fix the boot? or am i to slow?
can i push the needed file to fix the bootloader with ADB?
what else can i do now? is it anyhow possible to fix the boot, or if not to somehow please recover the data and transfer it to my pc memory? and start from scratch again with the phone as a last solution.
thank you all so much for your help in advance, been trying all day to fix it with odin, but no luck.
when i enter download mode this is written on my screen, maybe it helps:
odin mode
download speed:fast
product name: sm-g950f
current binary: custom
system status: custom
fap lock: off
oem lock: off
secure download: enabled

WARRANTY VOID 1 (0x0500)
RP SWREV: B:1 K:1 S:1

EVT 1.1

rest is chip id etc which i think cant help anything.
thank you all once more

i do not think you will b able to recover or boot back into android but you should be able to flash an official firmware using odin to get your phone up and running again.
you should always back up important stuff on your phone before attempting any flashing

How about using Odin to 'dirty' flash the exact firmware last working on your phone? For "dirty", I meant flashing home_csc which doesn't force a data wipe.

I have issue too. I flash custom binary and bootloader don't allow boot to recovery via hard buttons. Now I boot to recovery via computer or rooted rom.
