Samsung S5 Plus (SM-901F) bricked? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All,
Before I throw this in the bin (which would be a hellavu shame!!) I thought I would quickly see if I am missing something obvious.....
I bought an unlocked device (previously on vodafone - from the apps i saw) SM-G901F from ebay.. I enabled developer tools, and tried to flash TRWP (but it never took ... on each reboot, the stock recovery would appear ... I read countless threads that you needed to not reboot (which I tried to no avail) ... i then read a thread that the bootloader may be locked, and followed a guide to try and fastboot unlock it (fastboot never found it but ... This is where it all went wrong .. I lost the ability to boot into the recovery and the phone boot loops infinitely ... however I can still get to download
I tried the downloaded a complete official firmware and tried to flash using Odin .. this was successful, BUT again the phone continues to bootloop.
I then managed to flash Clockwork mod onto it, to deleted the caches, etc ... but again bootloop
Finally I tried to wipe the phone and load lineageos (through CWM) ... Again all said it was successful ... but bootloop...
I think I might have knackered the phone when i went near the bootloader? Yess ... Im a muppet!!
I have tried 1000 different approaches .. odin/firmware (various) ... all seems to install fine .. but bootloop
Im out of ideas .. Is the bin the only thing now?
Thanks

Morning. I would appreciate any opinions iona please.
Thanks

[Gt-i9505] Stuck for 2th on boot

Hi, I apologize for my English but I'm a guy Italian .
I bought my s4 from a friend at 100 euro because he could not fix it after it had gone into bootloop , The phone turns on but does not want to get into recovery, and remains on the written galaxy s4 .
With the help of Odin and the last firmware SammFirmware I managed to unlock it , and after several attempts , using also deep clean 1 & 2 , it worked perfectly for a week , has only made ​​two sudden reboots but then it turned on again .
This morning, however my girlfriend was sailing on facebook and has restarted staying again in bootloop .
What can it be? I tried again with odin and pit file but does not want to leave I tried to flash three different recovery, but we do not want to get in, hangs on booting recovery written in blue .
Help? Odin always positive result , I have tried three versions 3:07 , 3:09 and 3:10 always result success but stuck with the inscription recovery booting .
I tried to turn it off with the keys but nothing always crashes on recovery .

Probably a hardware failure. Nothing you can do about it.
The last thing you can try is to flash the recovery with auto-reboot unchecked in Odin. If it still doesn't boot into the recovery, then you got a hardware failure.

Hi,
Can you please give more information regarding your device model and the recovery you tried to flash? By the looks of the problem your device can't find your recovery... This may be a hardware issue (as already mentioned) caused by a non working NAND, and also it can mean a problem with the recovery file you're trying to flash.

My phone is a GTI9505 warranty europe, since after several attempts it worked a week with the latest ROM ITV available I think is still the same, I also tried to do the deep clean Guide kit kat, but without results, Recovery booting in blue ..

Hi,
So you're running a complete stock build? I'd recommend you trying to flash a custom recovery, like PhilZ or TWRP. If you can boot into it you'll be able to at least format your system, cache, data, etc. And flash a custom ROM, as the problem can be with your current ROM package, what makes me wonder is why the problem only appeared recently.

Thanks for the reply. I tried three retrieves The TWRP, CWM and Philz Touch but nothing ever written itself, odin never gives no problem with any version, always success in all operations

Hi,
It unfortunately really look as a NAND problem. It appears it isn't being able to write anything in the recovery partition.
Similar problems already happened on Nexus 10 forums, and the only solution was send it to repair. The thing is that this is the first time I've seen this problem on S4. I know you probably already tried this, but even the stock recovery doesn't stick?

S4 DUOS, GT-I9502, can´t finish “Odin updating” even for stock roms

Hi everyone, I´m really pissed about that issue; I´d really appreciate any help and thanks in advance to you all.
Story: I was using Sva´s rom for kitkat, everything normal, then I´ve seen Sasikas´s for lollipop and decided to try it out. I flashed the original firmware and then the custom, both via odin, used them normal as usual. For some reason, I decide to compare the new sva´s, also for lollipop and when I tried to flash, THE ISSUE BEGAN!
Issue: after doing the normal odin process, when the message “complete” shows up and the phone reboots, the bar of updating progress stop about 25% and the phone reboot to the normal mode, but only with a black screen. This is the screen I´m talking about: 3w generacionandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Android_updating.jpg
What I already tried and it didn´t work:
1 – factory reset after the “boot”; I think the problem is that the “system isn´t being write” so …
2 – different roms, both custom and stock; something interesting about this is that the point of the bar that resets the phone varies according to the rom I use, just as follow:
Rom lollipop: at 25% of the bar the system restarts;
Rom kitkat: the bar jumps from 25% to the end and boots the system until Samsung logo. I noticed that the carrier logo sound is cutted in the end.
I can freely install any recovery and enter dl mode.
By the way, the bootloader file must be flashed at pda or bl in odin?
Flash the bootloader file in the BL slot.
about the bootloader...
I´ve installed a bootloader to try the new lollipop in sva´s rom, maybe because of this I can´t flash anymore? I´ve found this info about bootloaders, could someone tell me if I´m thinkg right about it?
"In literal terms, bootloader is code that is executed before any Operating System starts to run. "
This way what I need is a bootloader for kitkat or previous? Where can i find it?
cry for help
almost givin up...
so, happy new year to everyone, I´ll wait until January to check any replies, otherwise selling for parts. ='[.
Shortening: I can enter recovery and dl mode BUT not getting to install roms;
I know I fixed selinux permissions once and installed a bootloader said to be to install a version of lollipop, that´s all new stuff I did.

Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 SM510F Only Download mode no booting

Hello, a friend of mine gived me an hard bricked phone.
As written in the title the phone is a Samsung galaxy A5 2016, SM510F.
Is not the first time I do things like that, but this phone is quite frustrating to work with.
I tried everything on this phone but the only thing that it does is the download mode.
It has no hardware problems, everything is working fine. The battery can't be removed.
I obviously tried to let it charge for long time. It does not even shows the battery icon while charging.
No boot, no logo.
I tried flashing 2 different version of the original ROM downloaded from SamMobile with Odin.
I tried an old and a new one.
I tried Flashing the Bootloader extracted from the ROM.
I tried flashing the 4 part ROM.
I tried flashing the PIT, since i suspected that my friend somehow cleard NAND while he was trying to flash the Root.
But out of this I get nothing. Odin gives a success but the phone only turned off and did not reboot.
I ask you if you have some different ideas, some similar experiences or some advices.
If you have some files please remember that I'm italian, so I need ITV.
I have no more ideas. Otherwise I will tell my friend to try to go to a samsung center.
Thanks.
