Phone not working after update. - Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530H, the updater asked me to update the Android into Lollipop from its original firmware Kitkat 4.4.4. After finished installing, it started bootloop, it wouldn't boot to the Android. I tried to search from many sources, to fix my phone, and I found some thread that I must to reflash the firmware because they said it's corrupted. After that, I downloaded Odin, the firmware (Android Lollipop) and flash it. It still can't boot to the Android. I tried to flash to Kitkat and it seems that the Odin was failed to flash the firmware. I can't find the CSC and PDA code from the phone because I can't boot into Android. I also tried Kies and SmartSwitch to initialize my phone, but it didn't work.
What should I do now???

[Q] Cannot flash i9505...no boot loader

Hello,
I have an unsuccessful firmware update.
First flashed the last stock rom, cf-autoroot. After it I try to flash the CWM, and this is the end,
Now there is no boot loader, no recovery. I see the "Firmware update encountered an issue...".
The knox is 0x1, Writeprotect enabled.
The only thing is working on the phone is the download mode, but every attempt to flash in Odin fails. (aboot.mng..Fail)
I tried to flash another bootloaders, repartition with pit file, but not works...
Done it on other PC, usb ports...
Now I know what was the wrong with the installation, but I need a solution for this situation.
Please, help me...
You will have to flash through ODIN Kit Kat. You cant come back to 4.3 or 4.2.2 if ya flashed android 4.4.2 and u updated the bootloader. Select one android 4.4.2 firmware in SamMobile for you and update ur phone :highfive:
Thanks for the reply...
The last firmware I flashed was 4.3, and I cannot reflash it.
But I will try a Kit Kat, which one is good for me? I have an unlocked phone and my country (Hungary) does not have it yet.
Can I flash it with knox 0x1?
Thanks for the advice, the phone is working now....
The whole story:
- the phone had 4.3 custom ROM before.
- I flashed the new version with 4.4.2: new recovery, modem and ROM.
- From here I had no sound. I tried to flash everything 3 times, an no sound.
- I searched for this, threre were many good advice, I tried some and the phone not booted.
- Downloaded the latest Samsung firmware (I9505XXUEMKF_I9505OXXEMK3_I9505XXUEMKF), flashed and no sound.
- extracted the modem.bin, flashed, and flashad the ROM again, sound is good, I was very happy.
- CF-autoroot, I saw it was working
- Flashed the CWM recovery, Fail in Odin and...no boot, no recovery, only download mode.
- Flashing the original downloaded firmware (I9505XXUEMKF_I9505OXXEMK3_I9505XXUEMKF) is failed. I don't understand, it is not downgrade...
- Flashing a new Kit Kat (I9505XXUFNB9_I9505EURFNB1_I9505XXUFNB9) was successful.
How can I use a custom ROM again?
I am afraid, if I make an error, cannot flash again the same, I have to wait a new one?

So this means you can into Download Mode which is quite a good thing.
Now what you do is download the particular Kies for S4 from the OEM site and connect it when your phone is in Download or that wierd Yellow Triangle with the sign to connect to PC, and then kies will try to save ur phone.

My phone had the official 4.4.2 then I got the lollipop 5.0.1 and installed with Odin, i disliked by excessive battery consumption and some mistakes.
So after I downloaded from SamMobile the official firmware for my country COL(COLOMBIA) in 4.4.2 but after installation with Odin, does not pass the first ever Samsung logo, then i got an international version 4.4.2 for this, and happened the same this didn't pass the first logo after installation, again temporarily put the 5.0.1 and this shows an error saying Error "Process Android.process.acore stopped, I do not know if I will have damaged something. what I can do to return to 4.4 .2? :crying:
try This reinstall 4.4.2 from odin if you stuck do factory rest and wipe cache in recovery mode
maybe you lose imei and basband this happned to me to fix this use lollipop modem
Note: to have lollipop modem install an lollipop rom from sammobile then extract it and go install 7zip and open the lollipop fimeware(i9500****.tar) you have extracted and you see modem.bin take it and use odin by flashing in cp/phone in odin.
i hope i hellped you

[HELP] G900F Stuck in firmware update mode (odin mode)

Hi, I have a s5 (Singapore) G900F. I rooted it and installed lollipop. (it was initially running kk 4.4.2) However, when I restarted, it got stuck in recovery booting. I tried reflashing the stock lollipop rom from sammobile and that didn't work. I then tried the same thing but with nan erase all. When that didn't work I tried the original kk 4.4.2 rom with a G900F pit file from xda. Now my phone is stuck in the firmware update (connect to kies mode). Any advice at all would really be appreciated. Thanks.
