Galaxy s4 in bootloop, just can enter to download mode

Hi guys, as i said, my girlfriend's galaxy s4 is stucked in a bootloop when she was playing farmville.
The phone is completely stock and with the last firmware.
I cannot enter into recovery, just can go to download mode, in which the phone is perfectly stable (is stable also when is charging on the pc).
I've tried almost everything and one time i was able to boot the device and enter to the home launcher, turn two pages and then bootloop.
Sometimes (two or three) the device stuck on a green screen like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've tried to:
- reflash the stock firmware with odin, i get no problems and the device PASS the installation but the problem isn't resolved.
- remove sd card
- change battery
- play with the power button
I've no idea on how to fix this, why i can enter into download mode and bootloops finish?
A big thanks to everyone.

Probably hardware failure. You can try to flash the rom with .pit file and re-partition as a last resort. If it still wont boot then, then you have hardware failure.

Thanks Lenny, but how is it possible that in download mode the phone is perfectly stable?

Flashing Bootloader & Modem via Odin Problem

Hi everyone, I'm having a couple of problems flashing the required Rom's Bootloader & Modem (XXU1COI3 & COI3) for my phone (N910G - 32Gb).
So the problem look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I had also try to extract the pit file from the phone using terminal emulator on Android. Used that pit file along with the flashing of Bootloader & Model. This is what it shows:
I have previous problem similar to this before. But it seems to work when I used the PDA tab while flashing both the Bootloader and Modem as a single tar.md5 (or tar file can't remember exactly).
I would be very appreciated if someone could merge the 2 file together (so I can give a try) or come to a solution for those problems.
Cheers!

untick autoreboot

Second this.... also unticking AR did not help.

Don't use Re-partition !
And don't forget to power off the phone (minimum 15 seconds) and start in download mode directly before flashing BL and CP

Picture of bootloader to spot a fake one

I need help!!!
Previously I have purchased S5 phones which were on lollipop. So when I used to boot them up by holding volume up+home+power button, the bootloader would show me information about model number and Knox warranty, knox kernel etc.
Today I went to buy an S5 which had MarshMallow. I booted up in odin mode, and the recovery looked very similar to TWRP. Also there was no mention of Knox anywhere.
Can someone post a picture of 6.0.1 odin mode (obviously removing sensitive information) so I can get an idea what I am looking for?
It would save me from buying a clone S5

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And thats on MM 6.0.1? If yes then I definitely avoided a fake one today. Thank you so much.
At one point I thought I was overthinking it and may be samsung updated interface with MM for Odin Mode but the lack of Knox information really gave it away.

Doesn't change between ROMs, same through KitKat > Lollipop > MarshMallow
Volume Up & Home & Power is recovery though
That screen above is Volume Down & Home & Power for Download mode

Remove ENGBOOT completely

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930V. It has installed Android 7.0. Some months ago I'd installed ENGBOOT to get root, but I want to get rid of that. The phone is too slow, WiFi doesn't work, and I have a padlock on the boot screen as shown in the picture.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I alredy flashed the stock ROM with every file (AP, BL, CP, CSC), wipe data, wipe cache. And it stills showing the padlock on boot screen and WiFi is not working. How can I definitely remove the ENGBOOT?

Try this ROM for a modified non-rooted experience. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...sungpay-norootrequiredtoinstallorrun-t3748755

I realize this is pretty late - but in case someone else needs this answered :
The trick to removing the padlock on newer phones / firmwares is once you flash stock via Odin and perform a factory data reset, let it boot to the system and go through the setup wizard like normal. Then boot to download mode afterwards. Once you boot back up, the padlock will be removed.

Problem Installing Combination Rom on Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

I need help with a galaxy S7 Edge that is stuck on boot screen.
I am trying to bypass the FRP lock on this phone using the guide by techeligible3322 (link here).
I had software build G935TUVS4QC1 running on this phone, which didn't support the bluetooth headset method. So , I ended up flashing Combination ROM on it. Here is the rundown of what has happened so far.
1. Tried to flash Combination file G935AUCU2APG2 with Odin 3.12 which got stuck. Had to close odin after waiting for hours. Phone was stuck in download mode.
2. Dowloaded Odin 3.13 and flashed combination Rom G935TAUCU4AQB1. Flash succeeded. But phone stuck on boot screen.
3. Flashed G935TAUCU4APL2 combination rom with Odin 3.13. Success. But still stuck on boot screen.
Download screen shows the following info.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here?
