I've made a bit of a mess and I need help please. My s4 is softbricked, but as softbricks go, it's rather hard.
I have an early S4 i9505 bought from Carphone Warehouse (UK, unlocked, pre knox). I rooted it, installed TBackup, greenify and got it how I wanted it. Then I downloaded a stock firmware from Sammobile and tested to see if I could get it back to 'warranty' condition, which was a success.
Confident that I could obtain warranty if I needed it, I re-rooted it, installed TB and greenify, and it ran sweetly for months from that point onwards.
I read about the arrival of updates (and knox) and concluded I didn't need them. It was working, leave it alone.
Then out of the blue, my nice stable machine broke. I didn't change anything I was aware of to cause it.
No normal boot.
No recovery.
Download only.
Using Odin, I tried allsorts, eventually getting the same Sammobile firmware to run.
2 days later, it broke again, same as before, but worse!?
Then I tried all sorts of stuff downloading no end of things trying to get it to boot or even go into recovery. The most promising approach was to reload the firmware along with a .pit file, but still no joy. I've lost track of the other things I tried, but I've been doing it for a week, so a lot has been done. In desperation, I even tried downloading the latest firmware, so I now have signs of knox of the odin page.
I now have the following symptoms:
Booting into recovery brings up the blue 'booting recovery' message then just blackness.
Normal boot is exactly the same as above.
Unpowered conection to my laptop gives a 5 second boot loop featuring the buzz only.
I can reliably boot into download and download stuff with Odin and change the little Odin page status messages. After (foolishly) trying the latest firmware, these messages say
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME GT-I9505
CURRENT BINARY Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB 0x30

Please can anyone give me some advice on what else I could try?
Thanks

If anything else is not working (especially, if you're unable to go to recovery) I'd call sammy service center. Your download mode says that you did not rooted your phone, and knox is untouched either.

Thanks for looking spamtrash.
I was wondering if I could get away with that. It does look good from the Odin display, but the flash counter must have a pretty high number in it by now! Won't that show up somewhere?
Do you think it does actually have a fault on it, rather than just some software that's messed up and needs tweaking?
Thanks

1. Are you able to go to recovery mode?
2. Assuming that your previous communicates were taken from the screen in download mode - you're clean.
If answer for 1 is: NO, and assuming 2: do not bother the flash counter. Flash counter does not means you messed with custom ROMs, it just means amount of the ROM update tries. As they are unable to prove that the counter was not increased by failed KIES updates, you're safe.
To go deeper, service will have to flash and wipe your phone.
One thing: remove your sd card prior to giving/sending it out.
Try a different usb cable.I was in same boat as you (after stupidly thinking mobile odin pro liked modems).
Luckily I had an unused cable off my tab 3.
Hi to all,
sorry to use the bold character but it's REALLY an unbreakable enigma. It regards My fiancee Galaxy s5 g900f no brand ITV and that one of another user.
The thread in wich we found to be in the same situation is T H I S.
The phone was never touched, modified or altered in anyway as my fiancee doesn't even know what "root" or "rom" means. It was bought in november 2014, used with whatsapp, facebook and two games.
It was updated using wifi OTA to lollipop BOA3 ITV. Update was successful, she didn't wipe data as there were only 4-5 apps on it and the phone was working normally. It stayed this way for more than one month, no problems at all.
It was never touched in anyway, never diverted from the original. A very noob utilization to clarify.
At mid April one day when the phone was on the table in standby , we saw it rebooting. Then worked normally.
The day after it, two more reboots while doing anything , on the third one it appeared "SET WARRANTY BIT KERNEL" and BEGAN TO BOOTLOOP.
The bootloop starts right after "Samsung Galaxy s5 powered by android " and never ends.
Sometimes it gets stuck at "set warranty bit kernel".
THE PHONE ENTERS DOWNLOAD MODE always when pressing vol down,home,power.
IT DOESN'T ALWAYS ENTERS RECOVERY MODE. Sometimes gets stucked in "booting recovery. Recovery is not selinux enforcing. Set warranty bit recovery"
Me and one other guy on androidforums have tried everything:
-1. wipe cache, data and dalvick from stock recovery (it was difficult to enter it but done multiple times)
-2. flashing with ODIN stock images (OFFICIAL ITV FOR ME) . Kitkat and Lollipop officials. ALWAYS GREEN LIGHT PASS!
2.1 Updating bootloaders when going from kitkat to lollipop and viceversa.
2.2 Checking repartitioning using the right ITV PIT files.
2.3 wiping before and after that.
-3 flashing from KIES in FW UPGRADE MODE and emergency mode.
-4 flashed custom recovery. It gets stuck multiple times but the other guy managed to boot into Philz, formatting every partition,
-5 installing CYANOGENMOD 12 but it loads the cyanogen bootanimation for 1 sec, then bootloop.
With lollipop it gets stuck on the samsung bootloader logo.
With kitkat it gets to samsung bootanimation (led and audio working) but never ends.
ONE TIME IT MANAGED TO ARRIVE TO "upgrading android applications 1 of 1" for 2 seconds then bootloops (and it was data clean! so what app is it upgrading?!?)
the status in Odin mode is
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G900F
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
REACTIVATION LOCK(KK): OFF
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0*1 (1)
QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
SECURE DOWNLOAD : ENABLE
UDC START
But it was never modified with anything! and it stays this way after an original rom flash! (shouldn't be at least reporting "official" ?)
SAMSUNG SERVICE IN ITALY REFUSED TO REPAIR IT SAYING THAT WARRANTY IS VOID DUE TO CUSTOM MODS.
Don't know what to do. I've tried almost everything.
WE BEG FOR YOU HELP , PLEASE.
P.S. sorry if I have mistaken the thread section or the title

facing exactly the same problem , any Devs kind enuff to enlighten us on this ?
No one could help?
Looks like a broken NAND(The 16GB storasge of the device) chip to me... It should be replaced with a new one to fix the problem. Repartitioning it won't fix it at all and 1 thing you've done wrong is flashing it with custom ROMs after it broke. You should have claimed warranty first before you tried the custom ROMs solution.
Now the only solution to this is approach samsung again and ask how much would it cost you replacing your S5's NAND. Nothing can be done here software wise. The explanation you made points only to this problem.
Being stuck in "Samsung Galaxy s5 powered by android" only means that the kernel won't even load at all and you flashing the kernel with stock & CM version and still encountering this issue only means it's a NAND problem.
I claimed the warranty repair before trying custom rom. I haven't had the possibility to try custom roms at all because the phone is not mine. But xtaeyeon who has the same problem did and cyanogenmod didn't boot.
Now, being you so kind giving your advice, is there any possibility to restore broken sectors on the nand? Or is there a way to have the nand chip only replaced? Do you know any repair center that can do that without buying a new motherboard?
It is so strange that it came out of nowhere exactly the same problem for me, xtaeyeon and another guy on a Spanish forum who changed the board to have it repaired.
As we are on different countries I couldn't tell if there's such a way for you to do that. Here in our country local phone technicians buy broken phones and salvage their parts to repair phones such as this. Hence if you were here I could say yes there's a way to fix it without having to replace the board.
Next is you said that you didn't flash custom ROMs on that device then why not claim for a warranty repair then? Is it out of warranty already? If it's still under warranty then I suggest you return it for replacement to them. You have every right to have it fixed for free and if they say that warranty is void because you modified the software then insist that you didn't and have a real technician from samsung decide.
As for restoring broken sectors... I don't think this is the problem at all. Cause if it is the filesystem configured on the NAND should have isolated the bad sectors automatically and allocate the files to good sectors indeed. I believe that the NAND chip here is totally broken like when you transfer files in there the file you transferred gets corrupted.

Samsung said it is out of warranty because of Knox 0x1 and "custom" condition of binary and system. But it was never Flashed with anything different than the lollipop ota.
I don't know what to do. If it really is the new motherboard, my fiancé cannot afford it cause the Galaxy s5 was a gift. :/

If you live in the EU the knox thing is irrelevant, they're required to service you anyway by law.
You have a right to flash the OS of your choice in EU. Sometimes they try to get rid of customers, basically they have an unofficial policy of avoiding giving you free service when possible. You just need to literally tell them you won't take no for an answer (this makes miracles happen) and that you won't leave until you get the service they owe you.
But if you live outside of EU, well, then I don't know.
Hello all, I've got a AT&T S4 sgh-i337 with the locked mk2 bootloader. Bought new, still under warranty (well.. supposedly
I'm trying to go back to bone stock to return it; I think I did because when going into odin download mode, I see the following:
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC BURST MODE enabled
I did lots of reading and found some info I don't completely understand (go figure haha). I read that even when the S4 does not DISPLAY the binary counter, said counter is still there and reviewed when the phones are returned.
My 2 questions are...
1) if the custom binary counter is indeed there, is there an adb shell command I can run to READ the counter?
2) if the binary counter is there and I need to reset it... will the triangle away method work with my locked (and "unlockable" mk2 bootloader? -- under supported devices for triangle away, I see "Samsung Galaxy S4 AT&T SGH-I337 UNLOCK BOOTLOADER".. I'm afraid they meant to say "UNLOCKED" bootloader... in which case, I'd be out of luck.
Thanks a bunch!
R
No one knows? any info or guidance? Thanks
The following is just my opinion.
Both Samsung and AT&T offer a 1 year warranty on the Galaxy S IV phones. Since you are on MK2, I would guess your phone is at least 1-1/2 years old, so any worry about the warranty is pointless, since the phone is no longer under warranty.
You want to return the phone to AT&T? If that is the case (you don't state where) then the likelihood of anyone checking any of the counters is extremely unlikely, let alone any hidden counter, if it exists.
In my opinion, I wouldn't worry about it. Just flash it back to full stock, whichever version you can put your hands on, and you'll be fine.

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply creepyncrawly! Much appreciated.
I was going to return it to Samsung as I bought it refurbished at BB a couple months back.. I believe they honor the 1hr warranty on factory refurb phones (but I might be wrong)
Anywho.. I kept working on it, testing new stuff, different stuff and finally was able to get everything working nicely by forcing it to take the I337UCUFNB1 upgrade.
Thank you again, cheers!
Hi there, I have a problem with my phone and I was ponited in the direction of this forum to see if anyone would be able to help out. Any assistance woud be very greatly appreciated
I am based in UK and I recently bought myself a Galaxy Note 4. 2nd Hand but as new condition. I tried to do an over the air software update to see if the phone would be able to get a more recent version of Android (it was running 5.0.1) and the phone wouldn't connect to the server. Also whe I tried to connect to Android Pay I got an error saying the device was rooted so I couldn't use the app on this phone. I therefore wanted to unroot the phone
I must stress my real technical knowledge of Android phones is basically at novice level but I tried to unroot the phone using SuperSU which I downloaded from the app store. I ran the unroot option and restarted the phone as prompted but this resulted in my phone being stuck in Bootloop. It wouldn't go past the Samsung load screen
I probably did the worst thing which was panic, went into recovery mode and attempted to factory reset to return the phone to out of box settings. I wiped the cache and did the factory reset but, of course, this hasn't resolved the problem. I then done a bit more reading and downloaded Odin and attempted to find the stock firmware for my phone (Model SM-910F), which i did, but unfortunately when I tried to flash this firmware back to my phone through Odin I get a failed error
So basically i'm on my knees trying to get some technical advice as to what else i can try or how to proceed. I did try taking it back to the Samsung Store and plead ignorance for help but the best I got there was that my main board would need replacing which would probably set me back another 200 nicker. For that money I may as well just buy a new phone. any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm currently left with a very expensive paperweight
Many thanks in advance guys

Go to odin download mode and tell me what exactly your model shows there? Maybe I can help.
Press 3 button combo while phone is turned off to go into download mode.(volume down+home+power)
Or even better if you can take picture and upload it while your phone in download mode.

Hello there.
Sorry to say but you dont have N910f international model.its refurbished and faked by n910F software.as you can see your download mode shows n910t that's the orignal motherboard model.and also it shows binaries and status custom and not official as it should.also knox is 0×1 it means it was rooted before and warranty was void.
You have sm-N910T that's T-mobile usa model.
You can download latest N910T firmware from www.sammobiles.com/firmwares and flash through odin.
Dont try to flash n910f firmware otherwise it can be bricked and unusable.
Hope this will help.

You're welcome.
Make sure after flash firmware go to recovery by pressing (volume up+ home+ power ) while phone is off and do (data factory reset & wipe cache)otherwise it will stuck on Samsung logo at first boot.
First boot will take approximately 15 minutes.
Not getting much response in the Q & A section, so I'll try here:
So I tried to root using an old youtube tutorial (which I since have learned is a bad idea), now it's stuck in a boot loop. Tried to factory restore from boot menu, didn't work. Took my S7 SM-G930V to Geek Squad at Best Buy, and the Samsung guy basically told me he couldn't fix it and neither would Samsung, as a punishment for trying to root. Maybe if he comes into the ER needing life-saving treatment, I'll tell him I won't help him as punishment for doing one of the stupid things I see every day.... I was just going to throw the damn thing away and buy a new phone, but he pissed me off, so now I want to fix it just to spite him.
Tried kies (said to use smart switch), smart switch (unsupported device), and Odin, all fail. Used the links for the correct firmware here. Tried Verizon's software assistant... also fails. During flash with Odin, it gets about 3 seconds into the bar that goes across the bottom of the phone, then Odin says failed. I'm on android 7.0 snapdragon.
I can get it into download mode, but flashing fails nearly immediately. In download mode, at the top left it says: "ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED), PRODUCT NAME: SM-G930V, CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official, SYSTEM STATUS: Official, FRP LOCK: OFF, QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE, AP SWREV: B4(2,1,1,1,1) K1 S3, SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
Also, I wrote down the Build # and baseband in case they help... Build #: NRD90M.G930VVRS4BRA1 Baseband: G930VVRS4BRA1
Im sure you experts need additional more specific information, so ask away. And thank you!

Maybe try using a different variant of the s7 firmware(like att) and see if it flashes with the prince comsy version of odin.
Edit: nvm guess you figured it out.
Dude believe it or not, I just did the exact same ****ing thing. Somebody please help me. Same phone. Same video. WTF. Please somebody with a heart, help us.
Chances are you flashed the root kernel for Marshmallow. Here is the root kernel for Nougat. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120714389 Try flashing this and seeing what happens.
---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------
If that doesn't work, follow this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...sungpay-norootrequiredtoinstallorrun-t3748755. It will put you on the modified BRA1 build. You'll lose all your data in the process, so I would try flashing the Nougat root kernel in Odin first.
