Turned off while updating - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

now, when i turned it on, there`s just Samsung galaxy s4 on black screen, nothing happens..
any idea can i try anything?

There's a reason it says "Do not turn off" while updating.
The update did not install properly and now your system is corrupted.
The only way to get your phone up and running is to flash a ROM. Of course, this is not guaranteed to work since the reason for your phone shutting down in the middle of the update may have been a hardware failure. And that's not something it can simply recover from.

i can get the menu (vol up, power and home button)
Android system recovery , and there is
reboot system now
apply update from db
apply zodate from external storage
apply update from cache
wipe data factory reset
wipe cache partition
reboot to bootloader
power down
view recovery logs
enable cp logging
disable co logging
...
i dont now whats my next step???
Anybody? would be really thankful..

You need something called Odin and and stock firmware. Stock firmware can be downloaded from sammobile.com.
As for Odin, just Google it.
After you have everything, Google for a tutorial, there are a bunch that tell you how to do it and there's also videos.

You can find those here on the S4 forum. They are called Custom ROMs. I would recommend Resurrection Remix or Optimized LineageOS.

Stock Recovery and Device Status

If I have a stock device (firmware, kernal and recovery) and I enter recovery, will that trip the customer rom or flash counter? I recently did so, and my device status is now saying "custom". Meanwhile I did not root, or flash anything.
-------------------------
Resolution:
Thanks for both of your help.
Here are the steps if anyone else is interested:
0) Back everything up, your phone might get bricked... so if your scared don't do this!
1) Root Device (CF Auto Root preferred)
2) Download, Install Triangle Away and run triangle away
3) Go to download mode (volume down + home button when restarting) and ensure you do not see custom for binary and system status
Click Here for Image
4) Go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and download the latest firmware
5) Go to recovery mode (volume up + home button when restarting), factory reset, clear delvik cache, format partition.
6) Go back to download mode and flash the latest firmware
7) You now have warranty back, and completely stock

After doing so, allow the phone to boot up fully, and let it sit for about 2 minutes. Then restart and see if the custom status went away.

I've installed triangle away, reset the counter, download mode shows everything as official. I've installed a fresh copy of the latest rom via odin, removed SD card, removed battery... still no luck!!!!!

That is strange. Normally the following would always fix the custom logo:
- Odin to stock
- Allow device to reboot
- Let device sit for 2 minutes
- Reboot
(The 2 minutes is to allow SysScope to scan the system and subsequently mark the system as "Official" - you can check on its progress in Settings -> about device -> about phone -> Device status. Usually it only scans for the first :38 sec of a normal boot, but I've seen it take up to two minutes before. This timer doesn't include the time it takes your phone to do the "Android is Upgrading" thing.
So I managed to fix it... I downloaded and flashed the AMG1 July tom after wiping my partition entirely. Thx for the support.

The issues is related to the 64GB SD, don't ask me why, i've been on an intensive month long troubleshooting session to find out why but i never did. If you took out the SD and rebooted twice, official status would come back, although the new firmwares dont have that issue

I would suggest reflashing your firmware. To do this, go to sammobile.com and download the correct firmware for your device/region. Then go in to download mode on your phone by turning the phone off and holding Home + Volume down + Power button. Then loading your firmware into odin and flash. I think if I am not mistaken odin 1.85 is suggested for use (Please someone correct me of I am wrong). If I havent been clear enough how to use odin, please refer to many of the online guides!
Hope this solves your problem.

Hello, thanks a lot for the quick answer i was reading some posts and the firmware is already downloading.. so i think im in the correct way to solve it.. so thank you, i post later what happened.
Next time you have an ads popup problem, use MalwareBytes...
LOL... Factory reset wipes most data but when you format system you REALLY need to have a firmware ready to re-install... Is like formatting your system drive in your PC and expecting it to work without an OS installed...
I solve the issue, of course was the firmware that i didnt re-instaled. I have a question, i downloaded the firmware that is for my country AND for the cellphone provider.. and was jelly bean 4.3 BUT there was another firmware for my country but didnt say nothing about the company and it was kitkat 4.4 ... i installed the jeally bean.. but could i install the kitkat firmware?

Need FULL WIPE

Hi. I have the Galaxy S5. I updated it to the latest firmware which screwed my device. It is overheating for nothing. Many time I flashed back to stock roms but nothing's changed. I suspect there is still left in the device from the latest firmware "virus". I want to do full wipe. I heard wipe cache and wipe partition only delete user's data. Isn't there a way to start from FULL scratch? Thanks.

If you reflash your device and you do a full wipe from recovery, then your phones software should be like brand new. It might be a hardware issue.

No it doesn't delete everything. Because when I downgrade to KitKat from Lollipop, the power off battery animation is still from Lollipop, just for an example. That's why there is TWRP recovery (just discovered it) which allow you to delete the Data, Cache, System and Preload partitions of your internal memory. Since I am not rooted "yet", I am looking for an alternative for it. Anyone?

When you flash a full firmware from sammobile it should reflash everything, including custom recovery or the boot animation.

MAYBE it should but it doesn't in my case. I'm telling you the device has Lollipop power off battery animation while KitKat firmware is installed. There are still something left in the device. Look for the thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983489
Why should TWRP or CMW recovery separately add System and Preload partitions options if not for a reason?
I think I have to root and lose my warranty. Damn you Samsung...
Because no OEM in their right mind is going to give people a device with a recovery capable of wiping the system partition, that's completely inane.

Yeah? What makes you think it is completely insane or insecure to do this? Are you saying TWRP developers (and others who put that choice to their recoveries) are stupid? Do you think they put that option just for hobby?
Jesus Christ, I'm saying giving that option to the average customer is stupid because they would delete their system partition, brick their phones and then blame the makers of the phone. Why do you think you break your warranty when you root or install custom software like TWRP?

Here is what I do so far:
Revert back to factory settings
Delete old app infos via Google
Wipe cache and full wipe via stock recovery
Flash full ROM via Odin
Root and custom recovery to wipe system, cache, dalvik, boot, simply anything can be erased
Yet nothing helped. Using KitKat 4.4.2 now and still have Lollipop animations that indicates there are datas AFTER all of those wipes. I'm absolutely furious!!!
Will my device be okay if I flash another country's stock ROM?
I can't understand this situation really: Why even after all those wipes I still end up with the Lollipop battery animation while I'm using KitKat (even very early builds)? Let me be clear: I am no against the Lollipop battery animation but it confirms some data are erase proof. And because of it, I think there is no way to get back the phone to its very roots. Is there a logical explanation for this or shall I stop trying by calling it Android's stupidity?

Can't restore stock rom s5 verizon

I installed the Rom VZW_BOK3_ODEX_DEODEX_V1 after the 3rd or 4th time I rooted it, and now I'm not able to restore to stock rom with odin. or get into safetrap recovery or flash through flashfire and I don't know what else to do, and it's lagging so much, can't install app most of the time, can't open apps after a long time I restarted it. Please help me.

There's no reason you shouldn't be able to restore if you can get into Download mode, unless either your USB port is messed up or the restore image is corrupted. Check the md5 of the stock restore image you're trying to use, and try a different cord and/or a different USB port on your computer.
Also make sure you're not trying to downgrade to BOD5 or earlier if your bootloader is BOE1 or above, because you can't downgrade.
I can get into download mode, if I flash something else via odin works also it flash the .img it's the bok3 I've done it before, but now nothing work and it's hellllll! I also flashed PB1 that is post on the tread.

What exactly happens after you click the button to flash the stock image file in Odin? Odin should say OK and the phone should reboot. What happens after that?

Indeed, it says ok, then it flash the .img and says successful and it reboot the phone like it should. But, then when it start, it's just like it was before, but without root
Make sure you got installed buisy box and safe strap . Install recovery from ss , go to super su and update and make sure is granting the app . Now install NI2 SS flasher for lollipop and make sure super su grant access . Run NI2 and go in the ss. Full wipe then install whatever rom and whatever match firmware with no bootloader then reboot.

Try booting into stock recovery mode (hold home + vol UP + power), and clear cache from there and then reboot.
If that doesn't work, do the same thing but do "factory reset" from stock recovery.

In the safestrap , wipe and just flash the rom then the bok3 firmware ( your choice for rom and firmware , bok3 or pb1 ) .

Done , wait 5 minute , if not working reboot recovery manual and wipe data , factory reset and cache. Is this clear enough ?
Yes, was CLear enough, but it didn't work...
as the last resource I try to fix it with the Verizon app and also with kies. Both reboot and reset the phone, but it is still laggy and the apps wont open soon but after long time... also will freeze for a long time. do you think have something to do with core system?

A reset will resolve just about any issue caused by software. You might be looking at a hardware issue.
Install a system monitor app of some kind to see if any processes are really busy.
It's a long shot, but the only thing that comes to my mind is to remove the microSD card: if that resolves the issue, it means your processor is busy chewing on indexing all the media files on your microSD card and may be getting hung up on a corrupted file. If that does nothing, you might have bad RAM or something.

And maybe the SD card as it won't read it fast.. and when I try to access to the SD it maybe freEze or slow down... I'll check it out
Yes, for being slow I'm pretty sure was the SD car as I removed it and it feels more smooth, do you know if there is a way to keep the SD in the phone?

First, try opening the SD card on your computer and searching for files of size "0 kb", (that's zero). If you see any media files that are zero kb, delete them. They are corrupted and are causing your phone's media indexing to get stuck in a loop. Symptoms of this issue are slow performance and the phone running hot from trying to process the file continuously. A battery-use examination or performance monitoring app will reveal "android media process" as the offender.
If this does not resolve the issue, you need to take more extensive action. First, copy everything on the SD card to your computer, then format the SD card using the phone, and then copy the data back to the freshly-formatted SD card. Then double-check it for files with a "0 kb" size.
If the problem persists, a last resort would be getting a new microSD card.

SM-G900F problem with odin

wipe cache, factory reset, then turn off straight away.
Turn on into download (opposite vol button from recovery)
Open odin
put device in, get port blue
make sure odin is set up properly
flash again
thats all i can think of

if reset didnt work then that would be his next step, reflash via odin, but didnt want to jump the gun and give him too much to think about.
theres also another step if reflashing fails lol.

it could take well over 10mins to completely bootup, being warm is actually a good sign, blow onit to keep it cool or take off battery cover to help keep cool

ok..it started..in the end
if you wanna answer, i have some quiestions:
1)after the next update OTA, phone's owner will make it(because she is noob..she doesn's listen to me to update it with pc), if the phone will have problems again, can i only wipe cache => wipe data/factory reset=> restart now to make it like new, from factory, or i have to flash the latest firmware with odin?
2) she will instal a lot of trash on it, and it will have lag and won't work properly.... can i wipe cache=> wipe data/factory reset => restart now to make it like new? (in this case, the phone is on the actual firmware, no updates)
