OK. First some info about the phone:
GT-I9506
S/N: RF8F20W841T
PDA: PL2 / PHONE: OJ2 / CSC: OK1 (NEE)
I replaced the screen few days ago and got the phone working at last! It was with STOCK 4.4.2. So i used OTA to update it to latest STOCK 5.0.1. After this I have rooted it with CF-AUTO-ROOT and it was fine for two days.
After two days wile charging with S CHARGER COVER (OEM) it just restarted. Was working ok but after few minutes hanged and rebooted again. Then the bootloop appeared. First screen with GT-I9506 logo and then blue flash and again.
CAN'T BOOT IN TO THE SYSTEM (no matter what I can't make it to boot properly)
CAN'T ENTER RECOVERY (it's showing that's booting in to the recovery but instead of recovery it just restart)
CAN ENTER DOWNLOAD MODE (no problem with entering DM)
What I have done so far:
- Kies recovery with phone model number and serial number (still bootloop).
- Odin flashing STOCK rom from SamFirm download (still bootloop) (single and 4 files flash).
- Re-partitioning (flashing PIT file).
- Reflashing bootloder (still nothing).
- Tryed CWM, TWRP and other Recovery, non of them boot up.
Using those files to flash:
AP_I9506XXSDPL2_CL6069869_QB11747892_REV03_user_low_ship.tar
BL_I9506XXSDPL2_CL6069869_QB11747892_REV03_user_low_ship.tar
CP_I9506XXUDOJ2_REV00_CL1318424.tar
CSC_NEE_I9506NEEDOK1_CL6069869_QB7017077_REV03_user_low_ship.tar
I would really appreciate help from someone more skilled then me.
Is it possible that I should flash 4.4.2 STOCK ROM instead of 5.0.1 to revive it? I came with 4.4.2 so maybe to make him work again I should start from flashing STOCK 4.4.2 NEE?
UPDATE:
STOCK FIRMWARE 4.3 and 4.4.2 does not help... I'm out of ideas...
After flashing bootloader it self I manage to get to the point when Green Droid appear and after 30% of progress it restarts and bootloop is back again...
Uninstall any old drivers and install new drivers.
Download the official file latest for your device from here
And try to reflash again, it should work or ultimately you will have to buy a new motherboard for your device....
You are likely to have encountered a hardware fault, assuming everything you tried were done correctly. The only fix is to buy a new phone, because of Samsung's stupid Knox policy D:

Okay first post on this website.
4.4.2, i9505
So, as i am a compete android n00b, i rooted my s4 with the KingoRoot tool as i thought it was an easy method, later i found out ChainFire made an easy auto root .
After i rooted with the kingo my device would randomly reboot, when i called someone, when i locked my phone and random stages throughout the day.
After some reading online i found the solution was to re-flash my phone to stock fireware. so i downloaded odin, drivers, fireware from sam and tried to re-flash it. however my phone failed after aboot.mbn. I then got the unexpected error saying the phone had to be plugged into kies etc.
I then used "philz_touch_6.07.9-i9300.tar.md5" to get rid of the error message which worked. however the phone still would radnomly restart.
Again i turnrf to the web to find a solution for the radnom booting and found this -

1. The error that give u ODIN is coz you are trying to flash an older firmware that the one you have installed in your device.
2. You have to flash a STOCK recovery. Flash this file via ODIN in PDA/AP (like in the pic 1 attached): HERE.
3. Turn off your device manually when the process finish. Boot it into STOCK RECOVERY by pressing and holding Volume Up, Home and Power.
4. Take a look the CSC (pic 2). "Applied the CSC-code: ............" <- This is your REAL CSC. Turn off your device again manually and boot it into DOWNLOAD MODE by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power.
5. Go to Sammobile and download the LATEST firmware for your device with correct CSC and flash it via ODIN.
6. About KNOX and reboots: Delete all KNOX reminds less "Lib = libknox_encryption.so".
7. Good luck
My S3 Neo I9300I ran stock 4.4.4 KitKat with TWRP 2.7.1 and I tried to install a custom Lollipop rom which did not work so I had to reflash the stock firmware.
After reflashing the firmware with Odin, everything was fine except that the Wifi option was greyed out and unresponsive so I coudn't connect to Wifi. I tried many of the options specified on threads related to this particular issue but to no avail.
Second time I tried to reflash the firmware with Odin, Odin showed "PASS" after which I unplugged the phone and found out that it didn't boot at all, even into Download Mode. No key combos etc worked.
After some Googling, I found out that writing a debrick file to an SD card and inserting it into the phone could get the phone into a bootloop while booting normally and into Download Mode while holding VOL DOWN+POWER+HOME. Without the SD card though, the phone was completely unusable as above.
I then tried flashing the firmware and TWRP again with Odin but still the phone won't boot at all, and inserting the debrick SD card could only get it into Download mode.
Would flashing a firmware from a different region help? Or have I ruined the bootloader? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

did you use the india firmware? Yes try different regions.
YES!! The firmware I tried to flash earlier was the Sri Lankan firmware but I flashed another version from Trinidad and Tobago and now everything's back to normal Thanks a lot!!
1st time flashing my S4. i have experience flashing custom roms and anything on my S3 before and never encountered problems. phone specs are:
Model: I9505
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband Version: I9505XXUGNG8
Write Protection Enabled
Burst Mode Enabled
i have turned on debugging. no kies on background and installed USB drivers.
I used odin 3.07
tried to flash latest version of CWM recovery
flash was successful but when i try to go on recovery the screen says "No Command" and i only get the official recovery. i have tried other versions but the same results I get. Help please. This is the first time for the phone to be flashed.
The FAQ is for you too.
for anyone with the same problem i have a fix for it i have solved my problem. you have to uncheck the AUTO REBOOT from Odin then flash the recovery .tar file you will see that the flashing is complete remove the battery and the USB cable. wait 10 sec. put it back together then go to recovery mode immediately otherwise it wont work.
After flashing a German Note3 with stock 4.4.2 using Odin with the official Open firmware from Poland XEO N9005XXUENB3 the phone is really slow, the SIM card is not recognized and the device has boot loops. The flash process succeeded and factory reset and cache wipe were executed from recovery mode.
Only from recovery mode KOT49H.N9005XXUENB3 it successfully boot when it is again stuck with the boot logo.
In the recovery mode the yellow lines below indicate that the CSC-code DBT (Germany)
The official file was flashed using the AP field and the file: N9005XXUENB3_N9005OXXENB1_HOME.tar.md5
The reason for flashing was to be able to switch to Vietnamese which is available in the XEO firmware.
The phone should have been unlocked because a Lebara SIM card worked before which is no longer being recognized.
Is there a way to restore the functionality within this firmware or do I need to go back to a different firmware ?
I would not mind also trying a Lollipop stock rom but currently do not want to try tripping Knox.
EDIT: Baseband and IMEI is UNKNOWN
EDIT2: Flashing back the DBT firmware N9005XXUGNG1 resolves all these problems but I would still like to be able to switch to Vietnamese (Viet Tieng) language
Hi,
I really am in a hurry. Using this phone for work as well as personal.
My phone is SM-N910C. Had 5.1.1 COI4 installed, rooted with cf-auto-root through Odin and after checking everything was ok setting SeLinux to permissive with the app found in this forum. Installed latest TWRP and flashed this with it (zip on first post) http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/guide-how-to-make-viper4android-lollipop-t3075794
Phone got stuck on Android is starting... Starting apps. After 20 minutes or so, wiped everything on the phone through Advanced wipe on TWPR. Phone doesn't restart, stuck on initial Note4 white letters (no Samsung splash screen) and recovery doesn't work.
Download (volume down etc) works. Tried to flash the COI4 again through ODIN but it fails all the time. Phone says sw rev. check fail device 2 binary 1... and now everytime I connect the USB phone gets stuck at a grey battery charging icon, even when I unplug it.
What can I do?
THANKS!
Got it! It was because phone installed an OTA update thus blocking bootloader to lesser versions. Updated to COJ5 and everything is fine.
