Sup guys. I have a problem with my S4. I doubt anyone will be able to help me find a fix but its worth a try. I hope someone will help.
Anyway, I flashed my GT-i9500 (Galaxy S4) from 4.2.2 to 4.3. Now it doesnt boot, It just gets stuck at the 2nd boot screen. Its not even a bootloop. It just hangs there. The S4 sound that plays gets cut like halfway.
I tried flashing a lot of different ROMS, and it still does the same thing. When I rooted it, I noticed the boot welcome sound plays full, but it still hangs after that.
I used Philz Recovery and mounted all the folders etc, but efs says invalid. So that means the EFS folder is messed. I get that, but I cannot repair the EFS if I cant boot the phone, I need the Samsung MTP **** for Samsung Tool to work. I have an N7100 (Note 2) Where I repaired the EFS with Samsung Tool, I was able to boot the phone.
I looked ALL over the net including this forum and found nothing. Right now the phone is just worth nothing. This is my last option, to ask here myself. If it cant be fixed I just cut my losses and get another phone.
I also flashed a PIT file, CSC file, Modem file during the period I was trying to get this fixed. If anybody knows this problem, It'll be very helpful.
Thanks.
you could try upgrading to 4.4, i have all the files for omega v21
heres the link for all the stuff from my google drive.

instal the bootloader and phone file via odin, bl = bootloader cp = goes into the phone part of odin
then fash the rom via philz recovery, worth a try !!
good luck
That wouldn't work, thats for the Snapdragon variant I think. The i9505. I have the i9500. I'll download the Omega ROM for i9500 and try it anyway.
Thanks.
Still doesnt work.

Did you tried complete of phone, than power and vol up, at the buzz lose vol up and at loge lose power button.
and then flash with odin bl. and modem
etc.
I've flashed with Odin & Recovery.
I flashed another bootloader, XXUEMK8 & Odexed Knox Free Stock ROM XXEUMK8 & it still does the same. I dont know whats wrong with it.
Another thing I forgot to mention is if I root it using Odin, the welcome sound plays full and it hangs, and if I reboot it, the welcome sound goes back to cutting off again.
This phone probably cant be fixed. I dont know wtf's wrong with this phone. This is WORSE than hard bricked.
oh & as I mentioned before, I have a Galaxy Note 2 & had an EFS problem with it. I fixed it, the difference was this Note 2 actually booted properly with any ROM installed. I used a Z3X Box & Samsung Tool to fix up the EFS. Maybe this problem is only with i9500 or with i9500 & newer models.
Eeeer don't mean to point out the obvious here but you did do a factory reset in stock recovery after flashing stock 4.3 in Odin? That's all you needed to do at the start.
When I went from 4.2 to 4.3 I couldn't get it to boot at all unless I performed factory reset after flash.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium HD app
I came from a rooted Samsung org. rom 4.3 to omega v21.1 Android 4.4.2
After this i tried slimkat, and had from first start the same issue, no booting.
Nothing works
only starting with power and vol. up as descried above, I could flash XXUFNA5 bootloader & modems.
After this twrp.
And at last I flashed S4 Google Edition - 4.4.2, a ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S 4
Thanks for the help people.
I gave up on trying. I tried everything even factory reset after flashing, different ROMS, different Android versions. 4.1.2, 4.2.2 & 4.3. Today I ended up selling the phone's LCD. Atleast I didnt everything. lol. Wouldn't be buying another Samsung EVER. I was thinking I need another box and stuff, like NSPRO but I dont have that.
hi all i have a note 4 910g from australia. the past 2 notes i have had were 910g's and when i root it works fine but when i install a recovery half my screen does not work like the calibration is all off. i got a new one today but i am afraid it will happen again. 1 thing that has happen in the notes that didnt happen with the new one a software update. if anyone from australia has got one from jb hi fi, that is where i got it help me please. i miss root access. i find root works fine but when i install a recovery the calibration is stuffed in both the samsung fm and in the recovery, i have tried cmw, twrp and philz , also downloaded xnote to see if it was just the stock fm but it put my phone in a boot loop. i have used sony for the past year, so i might be missing something. the steps i took was first download the root for 910g go into odin then put to pda and flash second i did was first flash the recovery on my phone which was the first note 4 , second note 4 i flashed the recovery using odin. i then when it didnt work i did a format, didnt work. then i flashed the australian latest firmware and still nothing. i got a new note 4 today and i am scared to try and root and flash a recovery, in scare of what has happened with the last two notes. thanks any help is much appreciated if you are on facebook i can send you videos of the problem i uploaded it to a note 4 group .

It's been almost three years and you've never got a response?
I'm now having the same problem and want to keep my Note 4 alive as long as I can.
Did you ever find a solution to this problem?
Hi everyone, my Galaxy Note 4 is running a aosp rom (one like CM13) and I don't know how to go back to stock. I tried before installing this but it was saying the firmware is corrupted while i was extracting the md5 file but i kept going and then the phone wasn't turning on (it was stuck on the 'Samsung Galaxy Note 4' message) so I had to root it again and install this rom. With touchwiz roms i get bootloop if i try to restart the phone so I only have this right now. Please somebody can help me with this one?

I meant with the stock touchwiz rom via odin I get bootloop after it restarts from the process.
HI
My friend need help with his NOTE 3 SM-N9005 LTE
Phone wont boot anymore. It only bootloops. I installed stock rom 2 times with ODIN and still phone stuck on recovery booting and then reboots only.
Then i flashed TWRP with ODIN and cleared everything on phone and wiped then installed MagMa_NX_UX9.7_Premium_XDA ROM
and everything sucess and seems fine, but when comes to boot it only stucks at Note 3 Splash some time and reboots.
I wonder if his partitions are ****ed up or something? ODIN dont show any errors neither.
HE said that this came after some update or something but i dont know if he tells the truth about what really happened
with the phone.
Any way to reparition whole phone and maybe update bootloader or something?
I forgot to mention that he replaced the LCD with new one but could it realy be issue? Because everything works in recovery and i can see Samsung Note splash screen.
I manage to fix it.
I flashed EUR version of STOCK ROM instead of NEE and phone finnaly booted. I dont know what the heck problem was.
