My phone just suddenly stopped working earlier today.it was running the latest omega rom with the latest modem and boot loader. ...
I cant get into recovery either. When I try it just reboots and goes to the samsung boot screen.my phone is a sim free insurance replacement and im not sure what stock rom to flash...
Could some nice soul just tell me the exact rom thats needed.
Its a uk based I9505 .
Please some one help as im away from home atm and have no way of contacting anyone.i have laptop and a dongle so can at least download and flash.
What ever has happened has corrupted it somehow.
I can still get into download mode how ever.
Id be eternally grateful if there is some nice soul to.help me
Just download and flash this with the latest Odin. Boot in download mode.

This is the latest German FW that Omega is based. It has the "OXA" Multi-CSC, which also includes BTU (United Kingdom)
After flash you will not have any problem retrieving all your data, as long as you don't factory reset.

If it remains on the Samsung boot logo, then try to flash the same firmware with the .pit file and "Re-Partition" flag checked in Odin.
If still doesn't boot, then you have to enter recovery mode to wipe data/factory reset the device

do you have any more ideas my friend?
im so desperate for this to work. im on vacation and have no phone to use for taking photos or facebook
managed to get into recovery....................
i had to hold down volume up for recovery it said it was booting into recovery then it rebooted and i had to quickly push the up button again and repeated the process a few times.
did a factory reset and i now have a basic system again! yay! although the phone is getting hot??
might just be being paranoid but i can feel the heat from it through my trousers lol

How do i know which is the exact correct latest rom from my internation i9505....thanks people.
phone is almost getting so hot its dangerous!
If anyone can point me in the right direction id be eternally grateful.
Or even a older one than i could then OTA update?
hi all.. im a beginner at installing custom roms.. i own a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500.. a few days ago, i updated it to CyanogenMod c-11 (kitkat 4.4.4 based) ROM, then to CyanogenMod c-12 (lollipop based) ROM, so try out its new features.. however, since yesterday, my phone is not booting up.. neither is it able to go into recovery mode.. (the boot logo displays endless).. i can only go into the download mode..
so i downloaded ODIN.. and tried flashing I9500XXUFNI2_I9500ODDFNI1_INS.zip onto it.. however, no matter what i do (removing battery, restarting PC, restarting ODIN), i cannot go past the "initialization" step.. no matter which ROM i try, it never goes past the "initialization" step.. please help..

yes i did.. the .zip file contains two files:

Change USB cable/port, other pc or close Kies 3 on the task bar.
It sounds more like a hardware failure.

Ive already tried changing USB ports.. I dont have Kies installed in the first place.. I'll try repeating the procedure on a different system though..
i certainly hope it is not a hardware failure.. i literally slept with the phone on charge and woke up to a dead phone.. the phone boots up into the bootloop.. the recovery mode ends in the bootloop as well.. only the download mode ends up in the correct "downloading.. do no turn off target" screen.. and odin detects the phone just fine.. but upgrading any firmware via odin gets stuck on the "initialization" step.. i can answer more questions if required.. at this point i dont care which ROM works for my phone.. or if i lose data.. i just wanna revive my phone..

Bro's, gotta start somewhere, right!
The fact that you're phones are boot looping is actually a good sign - it means that they're not totally useless but salvageable.
Question: Are you able to boot into your custom recoveries, e.g. TWRP? If yes, please reply.
If no, kindly uninstall your old samsung driver, reboot pc, install new driver, put your phone into "Download mode", connect phone to pc, run Odin & hope for the best! If you can get passed this step, then it's smooth sailing...

The obligatory obvious question here. Do you have the Samsung driver installed?
Just repartition the eMMC chip using .pit file with odin that it is suitable for galaxy S4 i9500.
If anyone has tried, please tell us, that it is work or not.

Hello guys, I noticed this morning that MM was officially released today. I followed the steps on to update my phone. I downloaded the rom for 551ml put it on my root of my internal storage, after that a pop up showed that there was a system update. I did the update and now my phone wont turn on now. It vibes twice and nothing comes on the screen. I have no idea how to fix it. I was on the latest firmware that system update would give me (184). If someone isn't busy could they possibly help me out. thx..

I think mm system.img boot.img splashcreen.img need mm bootloder to run and at the moment twrp doesnt work with it, if you install mm via twrp you only updating these img and bootloader still lp that causes your phone cant boot. (Correct me if im wrong)
So now you need xfstk downloader to recover your fastboot and then flash .194 raw firmware using asus flash tool then adb sideload mm firmware from stock .194 recovery, theres guide how to do that in here but im forget where
Sorry my english are bad too..

If you don't need to use twrp everyday (maybe just a backup from time to time) you'd better keep stock recovery and whenever you need something from twrp, you just boot into it without flashing with the usual "fastboot boot twrp.img" command. That way if you ever upgrade again you don't have to remember whether you removed twrp before. But that's just an opinion, since if done that way, you'd need to have yor phione hooked to a computer to get into twrp, an that's not always possible.
thanks

Hello guys, thank you for helping!
I have a N910F that was working on a Lineage OS 14 ROM, I've decided to downgrade it to Marshmallow (It was Nougat) Stock ROM, I did that on Odin and wiped the user data and everything was working fine..
until one day the phone got back on 0% of battery and it just wouldn't boot normally, it was stuck in bootloop, I went and downloaded a Lollipop firmware(Because the MM ROM was deleted) and I flashed the ROM via Odin, and now the phone is stuck in "Recovery Booting..." maybe each boot is like 3 seconds or 2
Please help

Here's a link to the latest sm-n910f from updato.com. Maybe the 910f can't be downgraded from MM to Lp.
It's this firmware:

United Kingdom (EE) (EVR)
N910FXXU1DRD1
Edit- Link is broken, please go to updato.com for firmware.

Oh, I see that hotlinking message now. Lol, I had tested the link but was worried something like that would happen. I updated the other post just in case anyone else is looking.
Yeah, just unzip it and flash through Odin.
I have a N910T, but perhaps someone in the thread I link to will be able to advise if this can help you as well.
This is the only method that helped my Note recover from the recovery bootloop, constant random reboot etc. To be honest, Fire Kat v21 is actually pretty good....very fast and nearly all of my apps still work on Android 4.4.4.

I've got similar problems. Even Odin flash didn't brought the device further. My battery was completely dead so I supplied with an external powersupply (around 3.9V).
That also doesn't work. I needed to add 2.4kOhm resistor between battery GND clip and thermistor clip to fake the non existing thermistor.
If you've got some electrical equipment at home give it a try. It worked for me.
Else you can try a new battery.
Besides that reboots occured after that again. Now I'm going to test the famous Wakelock app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl&hl=en. Nearly all reviews are from Note4 users there. Really sad...
EDIT: Can you measure your battery voltage with a multimeter?

So you flashed stock ROM with Odin via download mode, right? It's exactly the same behaviour as my phone had. Entering download mode is working flawlessly - recovery isn't working. It booted up, blue font "recovery booting" then turns off and on again. Endless loop.
Did you try charging the phone some hours? Is offline charging working?
Another thing you can try is the fridge. https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/bootloop-fridge-t3155586 or here https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxynote4/comments/4to05k/note_4_freezer_reboot_trick/.
Just search for note4 and fridge :laugh:
You have a fridge, right?
If that helps (I hope for you :good you need to install the wakelock app afterwards. For me this worked (at least for the last day.) Without I had spontaneous reboots (especially when using the cam).
