Hi All:
I am not experienced with smart phones and therefore would like to seek your advice/assistance regarding an issue that came up with my S 4 GT-I9505 International.
What happened:
- The 4.4 Kitkat update came out on my phone through my provider (Rogers, Canada)
- I downloaded the update via Wifi and began its installation at a relatively low battery
- During the update, precisely after the reboot while the % bar with the android guy was filling up, I plugged in my phone to ensure it would not die (wall outlet)
- Coming back to the phone after some time I noticed it was OFF
My phone is the international version, unlocked and was going to be sent to Europe (Portugal) based on the language of the manual and the fact that it came with a North American adapter.
What I have done since then:
- The phone turns on and the Samsung words appear on the screen with the model number and then it goes BLACK
- When plugged in, it turns on and shows the ''very low'' battery symbol and stays like that
- It is recognized through USB but does not connect to Kies
I have done the factory restore and cache wipes, those work fine. But when I do go to reboot the device I notice that "Error!" appears under the little android guy momentarily before booting up.
Any help is well appreciated. Thanks so much.

Are you really sure your charger works? Are you sure your battery is not damaged? Try with a different charged battery and you will get your answers.

I think it's a case of soft brick..
If your warranty is intact then go to Samsung care they will fix it for you.
Don't tell then what exactly happened. .
Say I updated and it's not working..

Thanks for the replies everyone. I will attempt these solutions.
Does anyone advise against going to one of those kiosk style cellular repair shops?

Before doing that, try to buy a new battery and test it. In the worst-case you will get a new replacement battery ; in the better case you will save a lot of money trying to repair something that it is not needed to be repaired.

Hey all,
Good news. So I got on SamMobile.com, grabbed a UK 4.3 Android file and used Odin to flash it onto my unresponsive S4. It worked like a charm and the phone is back up and running.
Just a few questions as I am new to "flashing":
So now that I will have to flash UK releases of the latest firmware as my Canadian network provider will probably brick my phone every time they release the latest firmware, should I simply wait for the internet to have the latest firmware of my regions version and flash it every time via odin?
Also, is flashing over time going to decrease my phone's performance in terms of processing speed and memory (RAM)?
Finally, any suggestions that are different from what I plan to do as described above?
Thanks to everyone who contributed, I "thanked" the posts.
Jay
You can flash the latest release of your region nd then follow ota updates .....

Aren't OTA updates from my network provider which would mean that installing their firmware update would result in bricking? May you please elaborate?
Thanks.
Why would it brick installing their firmware .....u r on 4.3 without root so why would I m not able to understand ur question either

Well OK I use my phone in Canada but since its a UK phone I went out and got the UK firmware. So now when I get the latest firmware update (4.4) from Canada, won't it brick?
I mean that is what happened last time...
The phone is unlocked and I have never rooted it. Just used Odin to throw on the firmware.
Thanks.

Ya I mean I did updates BEFORE the last one so that got me thinking, maybe it WAS the battery...
So do you think its safe that I go and try to update my firmware from my network provider on top of the UK firmware I put on it just last night?
Thanks!
U can flash any firmware on any othe bt just cant downgrade from 4.4.2 if u flashed it

No I mean like, is it safe if I just do an "update" in my settings on the phone? That won't brick my phone if my battery is charged?
Yes updating in this way is the safest but u should have adequate battery

I have a EUR model so I will have to wait. But is the bug that the LG G3 had since the update to Lollipop solved? The bug where the screen goes on every 10 seconds after the battery is fully loaded using a wireless pad? Since the update to lollipop I cant use wireless charging anymore since this is a very anoying bug.
Wouldn't know. This is my first time on Lollipop.

My SEA/20b version has intermittent weirdness with wireless charging. It often wakes in the night to say its charging slowly. I'm using an LG WCP-700 charging pad.
Guys, for some reason I feel that 20b is better than 20e (had that before the official launch of lollipop for SEA).
after updating via pc suite and checking for another update, it shows two upgrades available with version that is still v20b.
can someone please let me know if they have successfully upgraded their phone with both upgrades?
thanks.

well that didnt go well, it was a two part update to 20b, after the first part installed it got stuck in a boot loop and then second part installed still in boot loop, after install finished it just kept boot looping, i had to put it in recovery mode and do a factory reset, that worked but it loaded up with 10k 4.4.2 kitkat, so pluged it back in and ive just updated back to 20b, think ill leave it there unless somebody wants to try it

Same thing happened to me, except i think i only got the boot loop after the second update.
Did you happen to catch the firmware file name of the second update?

in the box on the screen on the second update it was already showing 10 k 4.4.2, i can only think that the first part of the update rolled it back to kit kat
Reporting after update
Update sucks, a bit laggy, and usage bumped up from 14% to 20% in smart cleaning. And there's really no need for T-action, though quick remote did get its very much needed upgrade.
I think this has some added bloatware to it, guest mode is gone (i mean half-a$$ed), quick memo+ does not activate when pressing its icon from the integrated home button, but I did discover a way to use it.
First, open the quick memo icon (green), close it, then press the shortcut on the home tray, now it works!
does anyone of you know what's the difference between the brightness slider on notification widget having C on it and without C? I cannot understand what's the difference, it seems the same for me.
I've been chatting with Samsung Support through Twitter about Kies not taking my serial # for my Note 4. They asked for my serial # and my imei #, so I gave it to them and they asked what version i was on and told them BOK3, they wrote back saying there is a newer version, so I asked which one is it. So here is a screenshot.
OTA Update provided by @hsbadr thanks to @doinsvelt
Official Firmware & OTA Update from N910VVRU2BOG5 to N910VVRU2BPA1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...mware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937
Safe Upgrade N910VVRU2BPA1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=65278655
Update: if your battery takes a dump with the OTA, it is recommend that you do a repair via the Verizon assistant or via Kies. But if you are on a safe upgrade version then this will take you out of safe upgrade and keep you on BOG5 incremented bootloader.
Maybe a new Samsung version, but maybe not a Verizon version?

Here are the screenshots.
They responded back that it is 5.1.1 with security patches
So Samsung says there is another version they have out. But has Verizon released it yet? The manufacturer releases versions to the carriers who then release it to the phone owners after they do their "branding". Case in point, Samsung released 6.0.1 for the Note 4, but we don't have it yet. So

Hopefully it fixes my battery life problem, after the 5.1.1 update my battery life is TERRIBLE. It is the worse it has ever been and that's with trying to different factory OEM batteries.......The Note 4 really was a disappointment for a phone with such awesome hardware...
If anybody able to pull OTA and link it, I would put in the OP, I have it downloaded, but not installed. If anybody can guide me to pull it, I would appreciate it
Interesting

Hi,i was wondering how you go about installing 5.1.1 zip. Well my question is ,are you using a retailer edition and what recovery you went into flash?,is it stock recovery if you're using RE?,am just little confuse about it.Thank you in advance.

Its quite simple indeed just download the zip file from the forum 5.1.1 then save it in ur sd card, press up volume, power and home button at the same time to access stock recovery, navigate to option where is says update from a file, there you go it will update to 5.1.1, batter been slightly different (not a big improvement) im indeed a very very heavy user.... i received emails all day from my job, need to check whatsapp several times, there is some annoyances however... like wifi notification that is connected never go away... the wireless and fast charging notification remain in 5.0.1 now in 5.1.1 just says it once time and disappear, album cover full screen its completly gone.... performance in task screen and some apps display faster and also navigate throught touchwiz its a little bit better... not a BIG BIG difference... they put connect to at&t network (even thou its verizon), everything its fixed in BPA1 update so if you want to give a shot go ahead... i mean its not a big big diference but if you are bored of being in 4.4.4 or 5.0.1 go ahead! good luck
This may need to go devs but notice every time you boot into recovery on this update it says "installing update". Not sure exactly what that means cause I am no dev but it seems like the the recovery is more locked down on this update.
I also did factory reset after update. So not sure why it would do that every time booting into recovery.
for last week battery been dropping fairly quickly to about 40%, then stopping abruptly. Got the update last night. After almost 12 hours on battery, it is still at 88%.
My battery wasn't doing very well until I disabled fast charging and charged regularly. But have always noticed that even on kitkat
Hello everybody,
I've updated from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 last week, and i had a lot of issues with the battery since then.
Each night, the phone battery drops from 100% to ~25%-30%
I tried clearing cache, no luck
I tried doing a factory reset, no luck
I did a full reflash, no luck
Whatever i try, the battery drain is still there.
No root and KnoX0x0
Is there anything i can try ?
If i can't fix this issue, i will probably replace the phone with another model, because this is really frustrating.
Thanks
Root and deep sleep fix.
Same for me! Supposed DOZE would work, but when I'm home from work around 17:00h I have only 30% battery left, with 1h of SOT! This is ridiculous!!

OTA update doesn't have such issues.. G9287C just got 6.0.1 update 2 days ago and it worked well on my device.. The issues is just rolling text when there is a notification doesn't appear anymore and just shows the icon.
I tried with OTA and the issue is still there. I noticed that if I turn off 4g and Wi-Fi, the drain stops.
weird

How much your battery drains when you do it? If I forget to turn off my wifi and cell signal, it will drain around 7-9% overnight.. I believe the phone will trying to maintain the stability of the signal and if we are in an area where the signal is unstable, then the phone will do more effort and it will take up the battery.
G928F with stock XEO ROM, stock kernel and rooted by TWRP 3.0 and SuperSU Beta. No Problem with deep sleep, everything fine.

I had the same problem almost at the same time as you... But I had Android 6.01 at the time. I was able to charge the phone in Factory mode only (like other people say), and only charges about 70%-80%.
Two days ago, I got the notification of Nougat update and obviously I updated the phone, hoping it helps me with the battery problem. Well, the only thing that changed was now I'm not able to charge the phone in Factory mode, only when the phone is shut down (With android 6.01 it won't charge when turned off).
So, now I don't know what to blame, a software or hardware issue...
