Hello!
Please help me...
I just had this phone, Samsung Galaxy S4 SHV-E300L (Korean Variant), a week ago from someone I know. I received this with Kitkat 4.4.2 firmware. So, as I was using the phone, I noticed that it is over heating, then suddenly it will freeze, and the only way to turn it on again is to pull the battery. There's also an instance that the display will have scattered pixels, which I can see when I try to screen shot it. But will disappear after moving the display. After still trying to figure out what thing is probably wrong, I updated the firmware to Lollipop through Samsung Kies 3, but the problem still exist, I don't know now what to do...
Can you help me find out what can be the solution to this? 'cause I like this phone and it's precious to me!
Thank you!
It sounds like it has a custom kernel maybe over clocked. When you bout does it show a security kernel warning to left or is it blank?
Best thing is to go to samobile or XDA and download an Odin flashable firmware for you device. And flash stock then factory reset.
Its very easy you download Odin run on windows and boot into download mode by holding power volume down until you enter download mode.
Open the firmware you download in Odin in the PDA slot. The flash.
Glitchy pixels sound like your GPU is simply overheating

Start with performing a factory reset. Make backups of your files before doing so.

Hey there guys! The one and only Slenderman8090 here! I recently tried to flash Touchwiz from AOSP using ODINMobile, and it rebooted and tried to boot into Recovery but stuck at "Recovery is booting". Now, I cannot do anything on this device! Anyone wanna help, it would be great. I cannot flash anything cause it leads to "Fail" on Odin PC. I've tried multiple times with different software, but leads to the "Fail" screen.

I think you try volume down, power, and home. If you can get into download mode...he can fix it.

Make sure you ODIN the stock version of the Rom first. I have had this happen before, and had to revert to stock to get it to work again.

I've tried and as I said, it said "Failed". Also, it is not detected by Odin anymore on my PC.

so pushy!! jk jk jk
i do agree with what he is saying
failed odin flashes are usually caused by very few things, and if you can get to download mode, its not likely hard-bricked. Things to do when odin fails 1) get a fresh download and verify the MD5 sum 2) try a different cable 3)different computer 4) get a different tar.md5 and verify its checksum too. 5) pray to the deities of cellphonedom 6) get a tarball from sammobile 7)unistall and reinstall drivers
Long story short is that if D/L mode is accessible, all is not lost (usually)

I just gave in and had Sprint check it out.. Yes they found out the the Knox was void.. But they are only having me pay 25$ for a new one. Which to me is very surprising.
Heya, In a previous forum thread I said that I had soft-bricked my phone due to a failed rooting attempt. I had help fixing the soft brick, but now I want to try at rooting again. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S5 Verizon Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 (g900vvru2dpf4) and I am having trouble figuring out to root. Please help!
First of all make a backup with Samsung smart switch or whatever way you prefer and backup all other important data to your computer
Downgrade to pb1 or ok3 firmware flash in Odin in pda /as slot in odin
download firmware from sammobile. Com

Hello, a guy gave me a Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910F) which had random reboots and screen flashing issues.. He took it to samsung and they gave it back bricked.. When i took it, i tried to power it on and it was stuck on booting screen with Recovery booting in blue font on the upper left corner. I tried to boot in recovery mode by pressing Volume up+Home+Power Buttons it didn't do anything. It can boot in download mode with no issues. Things i've tried..:
Flashing stock firmware from Kies and Smart Switch,
Flashing many different stock firmware versions from odin,
Flashing cwm , twrp , stock(extracted from stock firmware) recovery from odin, with any of them i couldn't boot into recovery,
Tried to root it and then install a custom recovery still nothing works..
Of course i have tried pulling out the battery and pressing power button for 1-3 minutes and try to boot up... it didn't work.
I also got a new battery so i am sure that it is not just a battery related issue..
This cannot help in any way i suppose.
I could really use some help here.
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to explain me step-by-step the process i should do from scratch because i have tried so many things and i'm a little confused.. Thanks!
Also one more question.. in a stock firmware there is the bootloader inside it isn't it ? So why do i need to flash a different bootloader than the one of the stock firmware ?

I had the same kind of issue.
I had an n910s but inside my android, it showed as 910c.
I got a refurbished model. If your hardware is toasted then nothing well help.
If its a software issue, then there is hope.
So when in download mode check what is your exact model. You say its 910f what does it says in the download menu ( n910XX)?
Then download the corresponding ROM and flash it from Odin. ( Don't forget the bootloader)
Try different Odin versions, USB cable and Ports. Disable Firewall and Antivirus while updating.
Sometimes silly things like that matter a lot.
It's very hard to brick a Samsung.
Or try to flash a recovery from Odin and copy a compatible ROM to an SD card and flash from recovery.
All the Best
Booting, freezing and rebooting issues of galaxy note4 n910f
Hello =Dimitristhras;71230260] I had the same issues on my galaxy note 4 sm-n910f and I tried many options the way you did but could not succeed. Finally I got the solution which is very simple. Just go to google play store and install 'WAKE LOCK - POWERMANAGER' . Open the app and from the drop down list select the 5th option 'PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK' and boom.
I hope you will have no issue at all. :
Good luck...by the way are you Greek?

eMMC chip failure. Wake Lock will work for a time..
You have the same problem hundreds/thousands of other people have had/will have. The eMMC chip is crap and they knew it. Wake Lock will keep it going for a while.. While eating up batteries. Replacing the motherboard might gain another couple months, to a year or two. Eventually it will die. A slow frustrating death... There is a class action lawsuit against them. They will fix it for $70 plus maybe more. You have to have all original parts and never have opened it. You can argue the $70 away, but if it has a diff battery when you send it to service, they will send it right back and blame the battery. I'm fighting with them right now about that. Good luck.. I finally went and bought a Asus Zenfone. Tired of fighting with my phone.
hello. im in the same situation .
is there a fix for this. ?? can someone post a link for a bootloader

Hi guys,
So yesterday i was trying to install the One UI rom to my S7 Edge, but i messed up in the process. I think the problem started when i installed the latest version of TWRP (twrp-3.3.0-0 i think), and then i reinstalled a previous version of TWRP over this one (twrp-3.2.3-0).
Anyway, after doing this my phone went into full bootloop with the logo "SAMSUNG S7 EDGE ...." on the screen. No big deal i thought, i'll just flash a stock rom with odin, but everytime that i try, i keep getting the same error "sboot.bin -> FAIL!".
I already tried :
- Using differents versions of odin, especially the latest (3.13.1)
- Downloading differents roms (marshmallow, nougat, lollipop)
- Using a different usb port
- Restarting my pc multiple times
This is the SM-G935F btw.
Thanks

Yup that is why you are getting the sboot.bin error. It means the bootloader on your phone is newer than the one you are trying to flash. That's why it fails. On you phone screen you would have a error binary 4 device 5. Something like this.
