SOLVED
I just upgraded my Galaxy A7 SM-A700FD to 6.0.1 and needed to root it. I used cf auto root and odin. Said pass but now it can't load anything. Home+vol down+power = logo + "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" + "set warranty bit : recovery". Vol down + power = same thing.
Am I screwed? I believed I downloaded the right file (I checked, the file is for SM-A700FD and based on 6.0.1). I read somewhere the battery pull trick but I can't even open the case. What do I do now?
SOLUTION:
My phone was stuck in a bootloop in the logo screen. But apparently I can still access odin mode by resetting by pressing down voldown + home button, then when the screen turns black quickly press the home button to get into odin mode.
This is done with a guide by noahajac in reddit.
What you'll need:
Odin (I'm using the latest version)
Samfirm (the tool itself is deprecated by now you can use updato if you want)
Steps:
Open samfirm, make sure "Auto", "Check CRC32", and "Decrypt automatically" are the only ones that are checked.
Input your model and region at the respective fields.
Press "Check Update" and wait, after the firmware has been found, click download and save it. Wait for it to download and decrypt the file. After it finishes, close samfirm.
By now you'd have a zip file that contains the stock firmware of the phone, extract the zip file to retrieve the tar.md5 file.
Pull and reinsert the battery and then hold the Volume Down, Home, and Power buttons.
My phone has a non-removable case so in that case just turn it off and then go to odin mode with the key combo above.
Open odin, make sure your device is recognized by checking that the value inside the COM field on top exists. It should also say "Added!" in the log.
Now make sure in the "Option" tab that the only ones that are checked are "F. reset time" and "Auto Reboot".
Check the chekbox next to "AP" button, then click the button to browse the tar.md5 file that you have extracted.
Click start in odin
After it's finished you should be able to reboot back normally.
Thank you!

Hey guys, I did a search on the topic but to no avail.
I have a pretty specific probably and am willing to pay a few bucks to anyone who can help me fix this issue.
I work for a mobile repairs place and we have an S4 9505 that a customer bought in, he took it upon himself to flash the latest firmware from sammobile which has resulted in the WiFi not working, you hit the button in the notifications panel and it goes half lit but not connected and never moves past that point. I tried flashing a different firmware and the WiFi fix from the WiFi fix and firmware post and that works initially but after one or two connections to a WiFi, it greys out again.
Thanks in advance.
Anytime there's wifi connect problem I've found that its the kernel.
Well, it is official firmware so there shouldn't be any software bugs. Unless, maybe, he flashed the wrong firmware on the wrong phone model.
check the wi-fi mac addres or make and efs restore, that happend when the files in efs/wifi/ where messed with, and thats a bad thing, flash a custom rom or flash a custom kernel see if it works

Hello,
You should try to flash the latest stock Lollipop firmware available.
-Download Odin 3.10 here
-Download and install USB drivers (skip this if you already have Kies or drivers installed)
-Download the firmware I9505XXUHOB7 here
Open Odin3.ini (found in extracted Odin package) and edit PhoneBootUpdate from 0k to 1, save and close. Then:
Extract downloaded firmware
Download and extract .pit file from the attached zip
Open Odin 3.10, choose PIT and load the extracted file
Load following files from extracted firmware: BL in BL, AP in AP, CP in CP and CSC in CSC
In Options, tick Repartition & untick Autoreboot
Put the device in download mode: power off->Volume down + power key->confirm with Volume up at Warning screen
Press Start
Once done pull battery out and put it back, then press and keep pressed Volume up + power key (you'll see a blue text, "Recovery booting"). Once in recovery (navigate with Volume up/down & power key to confirm) choose "Wipe data/factory reset" and confirm with "Yes", then choose "Reboot system"
Now your WiFi should work
I found it a crazy effort to download this file, but here it is if you want it on dropbox.
