[Q] S4 9505 stuck in Bootloop - Even after installing new firmware

I have a Samsung S4 9505 mobile which is stuck in a bootloop.
In order to fix it I have installed a new firmware (Android 5 and 4.4) via ODIN but that does not change the boot loop.
USB debugging is not active on the device. I have wiped the cache several times. I do not want to make a factory reset because there is still some important data on it.
Is there a way to fix this or to rescue the data?
Thanks

If the data is in the internal storage, install TWRP and use its file manager and try to recover it that way. It's odd that reinstalling the ROM via Odin didn't help, but regardless of that, a factory reset is likely in your future. If the data cannot be retrieved using the TWRP file manager, it's lost.

[Q] Problem after update to 5.0.2

i updated my yureka to 5.0..2 ota but now i am facing problem my google apps are not working properly and i got an update for security and power improvements its not installing please help

First wipe cache & dalvik cache... Reboot.
If error not fixed,
Do a factory reset, wipe cache & dalvik cache (if rooted, make data backup using titanium backup or similar app & later restore the data if needed for every app)

Goto setting and then go into security and there go to device administration and then untick android device administration and then update your Google play services and then yu can tick android device administration again and your problem is solved

Flash twrp and wipe from twrp. Flash stock ROM via Odin, reset from the ROM settings, then factory reset from recovery mode?

Boot to twrp and "format data" from wipe section and then restore your old backup.
