Hello to everybody from xda!
I'm facing a problem with an Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 and since i've tried everything I knew, decided to post my problem here, looking for a solution.
Thank you in advance!
The background:
- international variant (i9505), unlocked, bought second hand in september 2014 and working fine for about two months; at the moment of the purchase it was running 4.4.2 and was rooted with TowelRoot; as I said the phone was running very well for two months, untill I (wrong!) decided to flash it with odin;
- downloaded from samfirmware.com the ROM
I9505XXUFNB8_I9505COAFNB1_I9505XXUFNB8_HOME.tar.md5 and flashed it;
AFTERWARDS I READ ABOUT CSC AND EVERYTHING AND I UNDERSTOOND THAT I HAVE A CSC NAMED SIM, APPARENTLY COMING FROM SI MOBIL Slovenia.
- rooted the phone with TowelRoot, everything was ok 'till one day when started to freeze and restart; considering that i had a large number of apps installed and was a hard work to try looking for the one wich determined the restarts I decided to flash again;
- after the second flash, using the same archive as before, the phone became insane;
a. freezing multiple times at the configuration screen which appears after flashing (where you config your language, Google account etc);
b. if successfully pass the config part without crash, it was inevittably crashing after;
c. sometimes i succeeded to use it for about 24 hours, installing everything when it freezed again;
The freezing is happening like that: first the screen refuses to respond, in about 3-4 seconds it appeared like in my attachament (black lines) for about 1 sec., then restarted itself.
After restart sometimes is entering into software again, sometimes is stuck at the Samsung I9505 logo or ar the simple Samsung Logo (with that blue flame animation). Stuck here, sometimes is restarting itself, sometimes gets just blocked here and nothing to do.
Also, sometimes is easy to enter in Recovery Mode, sometimes i keep pressing the buttons but not a chance.
Tried with TWRP, CWM or even stock recovery.
Once, when I had the chance to use it more that 2 hours without restart, I installed CyanogenMod. It worked well for about 3 days and then restarted again and the sympthoms are the same ar above.
I thought that it's because of the battery, but no. I have two batteries, both of them starting with AA (S/N and one starting with TH.
It's the same with any of them.
I flashed multiple types of ROMs, all officials from sammobiles:
I9505XXUFNB8_I9505COAFNB1_I9505XXUFNB8_HOME.tar.md5
I9505XXUGNG8_I9505OXXGNG2_I9505XXUGNG8_HOME.tar.md5
and others.
Other details:
- all the flashes were made with odin 3.0.9, with full wipe and cache wipe, and dalvik;
- all flashes were made with original USB cable;
- sometimes when blocked at the logo boot animation it gets very hot at the upper part of the screen and camera, and also battery;
- sometimes it accepts to restart if I get the battery out for 5 minutes and then I repower the device; or sometimes only if i put it to recharge.
I flashed the .pit file (for this model, i'm sure), because in odin i was told INVALID PIT INFORMATION or something similar.
What can I do? Please help!

Flash this custom rom it uses different firmware which is super stable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706844 (Imperium Rom) Custom roms are always far better than stock mate. Good luck! just use TWRP and you are good to go. dont forget to factory reset first before flashing.
xDroidZz thanks for your reply, I'll try.
Anyone else has some other suggestions?
*** LATER EDIT ***
Now has some other sympthoms: it enters in Download Mode, but it refuses to enter in Recovery Mode (actually, keeping VolumeUp+Home+Power pressed starts the device but the blue text in the upper left corner is not appearing because immediately after powering up, the I9505 logo appears and the device restarts).
It could be a hardware problem? I hope not, since I have no warranty.
*** LATER EDIT ***
Later I told you that I flashed the .pit file (for this model, i'm sure) for several times, because in odin.exe i was told INVALID PIT INFORMATION or something similar.
The exact error was:
<ID:0/006> Added!!
<ID:0/006> Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..

But I saw that if I remove and reconnect the USB cablu (original), this error stops from appearing.
When I initially got my device off Swappa, it had come with SI Mobil firmware (I9505XXUGNG8, I9505OMDGNG1, I9505XXUGNG8, CSC SIM). After encountering an issue where the phone's carrier locking reactivated and having the SIM card slot fail at the same time, then fixing that issue by replacing the slot, downgrading to Jellybean and running RegionLock Away, I upgraded to an unbranded UK Black Edition firmware (I9505XXUGNJ8, I9505YXYGNK1, I9505XXUGNJ8, CSC BTU). The current version of the firmware has been updated since then, and in the case of my phone actually sets the CSC to AUT. But it's still unbranded.
I've never had to use the PIT file on this device, but from what I recall, running the PIT file too often can cause issues. What I would recommend here would be to use the original cable and install the aforementioned Black Edition firmware to see if that can correct your issue. From there, once you've determined the phone is working properly, then you can go and install a custom recovery and ROM.
P.S. Not all cables are created equal. I personally am lucky in that the dollar store USB cable I have on my PC works perfectly with Odin. For best results however, both you and I should be using the original cable.
Thank you very much, Strephon Alkhalikoi!
I started the download of the Black Edition firmware from the link you gave me, hope it will work..
I'll write as soon as the flashing process is finished.
*** LATER EDIT ***
Nop, it's not working.. even if odin says everything went ok, after the auto-reboot the phone remains at the i9505 logo screen and with the blue text in the upper left. So is not entering into Recovery Mode.
What should I do? Sell it for 99 EURO?
Situation update:
Last night I flashed with odin the UK Black Edition firmware which Strephon Alkhalikoi recommended me; after the "OK" message odin gave me the phone restarted, the i9505 logo appeared with the blue text in the upper left part and nothing more. It refused to go further into that part where the tiny android looks like working and a blue bar in loading below (see the atachament for figurind out what I mean).
As I tried more than 20 times to enter into Recovery Mode, I ceased and went to sleep, letting the phone with the battery out!
In the morning I gave another try and at the second attempt it entered into the screen I showed you before, loaded untill, maybe, 50% and then stopped (freezed) and restarted itself.
I then tried to enter into Recovery Mode and worked from the first time. I tried to install Imperium ROM which the other user recommended (also, even if I had the microSD installed, it said install microSD, I took the card in and out and worked), but I received some error regarding header.
I restarted the phone and booted succesfully from the first time. I configured the phone and started using it.
I made some config. and installed some software, it worked like a charm.
At 6 PM I installed several apps from Play! (so nothing like GravityBox, rooting things and so on), things like DropBox, RedBall 4, Timely etc. and in the meantime I was listening to some music also in the Music section of Play!, when, suddently, the phone freezed, a black thin line appeared in the middle and the phone restarted, freezing itself at the i9505 logo and refusing to go further.
I booted into Recovery (from the first time), I wiped the cache and after that the phone was successfully booted again.
Aldo I like that it works again, I am afraid that the problem did not solved and I cannot use it day by day since it may freeze over the night and I could miss some important events in the morning because of that..
What else do you recommend me to do?

dont know else what to do. but great it worked.
Try to flash stock if you still can.
good luck!
Today it happened again, this time it shutted down itself, right after I connected it to the PC via original USB cable.
Took the battery away, powered it up after, successfully booted.
In 3 minutes from booting it restarted again, and booted again successfully.
Battery: 84%, not the BD series.
I also had a microSD of 64GB inside it, made by Hama.
Wtf is happening ?

try to remove your sdcard and your sim card and use your phone and wait when it happens again. i know it isnt really related to that but maybe worth a try. and Factory reset after doing that.
For God's sake, I'll destroy it!
It rebooted again and this time remained at the i9505 logo.
Even after wipe cache and factory reset still refused to boot properly.

Thank you for your support, also thanks to the other user.
I did not managed to make it useable for more than 24 hours and since my phone is part of my life, keeping almost everything in there, including my morning alarm, I decided to sell it and buy another one, hopefully that I'll get a trustfull device.
I am thinking at a Nexus 5, or maybe another S4? Dunno, but i would nou go back to S4 .

Go straight to new flagship phones if you can like the OnePlusOne,LG G3,S5,Note 4,Z3,Z3 compact,One M8 etc,NEXUS 6.
But S4 still great phone for me doe with its specs and camera. If you want to be the first in line for upgrades go for the nexus 5. But lolipop on the s4 is almost here. Good luck choosing.
For How much did you sell it?

I sold it to some guy which will make it parts and sell them separately, for 550 lei, meaning about 120 EURO.
Hi! Well, This is quite different from other cases. A time ago, I decided to reflash with Odin because reboots and crashes. After restart, and after the "installing updates" screen and reboots the phone dies , keeps rebooting or just powers off... When I try to enter in recovery mode the screen gets like the picture... Then the phone gets totally black, not even charging signs, screen or led... and... have to wait a day or two for a completely battery drain, charge it and start all over again... Sometimes it works and last for a few days, sometimes it doesn't... So I'm wondering if maybe is something wrong with the mainboard...
Thanks in advance!
Maybe youve flashed the wrong files in the first attempt, try using switch update to latest update via it and the Odin with correct files.
Does Odin detect your phone e in this state
Mnop... Im pretty sure the files are correct... The phone is an SM-G935FD unlocked and I use ARO version (I'm from Argentina) ...what do you mean to try with Switch and Odin? And the phone gets totally dead until the battery is completely drain , then it charges normally and can enter download mode again...
The phone is (i think) from UK, and imei number is /07 (both of them)
I was thinking next time not choose auto reboot and nand erase all, and try to go directly into recovery to power off and then restart again into recovery and make a reset... but I'm not sure... :-S
Well, I've tried again and now it get stuck on the blue screen with "Erasing" word ... wait a few minutes and force restart and it goes to the "no command" screen... Any ideas...? Should try to re-partition and nand erase all?

Well finally decided to extract the pit file from the CSC tar file and did a full nand erase all + repartition and so far it's working and downloading updates
Update: The phone freezed some times, showing lines and glitches and the reboots itself...still working... but seems that I'll to replace the mainboard at the end...
I have the S7 Edge originally the ATT version but I rooted and flashed the unlocked version firmware. I was trying to unroot the device and restore everything to the factory settings since I am using the trade in program through Samsung and have to send it back in stock. I tried to flash it using Zodin, the Mac version of Odin, but was unable to get it to work because I was not able to get the proper pit file, it always returned with the error that there is a corrupt file. Since I do not have Windows, I could not Flash the firmware using Odin. Out of desperation, I looked online and a website (the article was on Android forums with the title restore stock with flashfire no PC) said that I could use the Android app Flashfire to flash a firmware and return to the factory unrooted settings. I downloaded and inputted the full firmware file for the original AT&T firmware version and checked the boxes to wipe boot, system, internal data, and trusted Zone and also maintain everroot. It seemed to work and was processing with the fast scrolling command text on the black screen but after a few minutes it said there was an error at the very bottom of the screen. Eventually, it restarted but nothing has come up and the screen is black without any light from the LED indicator. I tried to restart it with the power button several times, holding down the power button and the volume down, holding down the home button and the power button, and holding down the power button, volume down, and home button. I left the phone unplugged overnight and plugged it in this morning to see if it would turn on but nothing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I am hoping that I did not brick the phone.
Since Im not sure now if you also tryed to go in download mode again but ussualy you are always able to do that.
If not try to remove battery and put it back in after 10 minuts. And connect it to your laptop and let it charge for a few minuts. Next Hold buttons for dowload mode. Hold em for 5 secconds. Even if still have a blackscreen open samsung kies or switch. One of them has the emergency recovery option. It will detect it then and will say something like you need to repair the software want to continue etc. Lwt it do its thing and make sure you are on the internet. You drink some coffee and give it 30 minuts atleast.
Still not work? Try to put in a spare battery or charge it with another phone. If that not even works. I cant help you.
First of all, I do not have a battery that I can remove. I tried to enter download mode and recovery mode but nothing worked. It will not boot up into any mode.
Just hold the button combination for download mode for 10sec and connect it to a PC with installed smart switch on it. Smart switch should detect your phone, even if the display of the phone stays black.
I tried what you recommended but nothing works still.
I seem to have encountered the same problem, albeit not through exactly the same method. Essentially I managed a full stock firmware flash through ODIN, all the right messages came up and I got a pass from Odin. The phone rebooted and brought up the blue "updating" screen, which very quickly changed to a "removing" screen, at which point the phone froze. When I tried to reboot, the screen went black and now.... nothing. No recovery, no download, no light to indicate that its charging... nothing. My computer doesn't register there is even a device attached.
I've done heaps of flashing and never seen anything like this!
Would greatly appreciate any advice or assistance!
same issue here accept i was just using odin like usual. anyone figure this out yet? the phone was not rooted or anything. i had flashed the g935u firmware and then decided to put it back to stock g935t firmware. then it started doing this.
reflash but this time it check nand erase all
NEVVER EVER CHECK NAND ERASE ALL, dont advise others what you don't know yourself. This is for manufacturer and is not intended for repairing, if you nand erase your phone its just a paper weight then, beyond recoverable. But this issue is caused by wrong partitioning i suppose, but still it must go in download mode, try plugging it in when smartswitch is open in pc while holding home+vol down+power , if it wont detect then i suppose its nand failure due to any reason. And motherboard replacement is required.

I recommended it because I had the same experience of the black screen and blue led that lights up and I flashed more than 50 times without any result and the solution that was given to me and which walked it's this one

If it really did nand erased all, your phone wouldn't even boot, your phone working is a proof it isn't nand erased. What people don't understand is that nand isn't the internal memory, its the non volatile memory holding vital info about functioning of phone just like a bios of computer, so if it is erased you are beyond recoverable damage. Here , i must say i dont know if odin can really nand erase all, because if your phone is working, nand is definitely not erased. And as far as what fixed your issues, there must have been some other reason. But for everyone, leave that option empty just to be safe.

Ofcourse it doesn't effect S7 edge, because it DOESNOT wipes the nand.. so its not working simply..
On older phones it will wipe nand totally and thats a dead brick..
First search what nand is.. its the non volatile memory.. or simply nand chip .. if you delete it.. your phone won't be a phone anymore.. its the non volatile memory that is equal to a bios of a computer.. delete non volatile memory and your phone is completely dead..
Thanks to the latest phones that don't erase non volatile memory and instead selecting nand erase with s7 edge simply deletes userdata before flashing.. which is equal to a normal hard reset ..

Hello,
I am totally desperate...
I've try to update the firmware of my old Samsung GT-S7390G. I did not use it for a years, and he did not want to boot, so I upgraded the firmware using Odin. I believe I picked up the wrong firmware (one provided for Orange operator), but the upgraded worked well at first: the phone was working well. Next, I updated several android/google apps.... and problems started. Now the phone keeps rebooting... It starting normally, but once it started to work (I can see the menu, etc. but the sim card is no more detected), after several seconds the screen dim out and the phone reboot. I cannot access any settings, since it keeps rebooting very fast.
Using Odin, I could "PASS" another firmware upgrade... but it has no effect. The phone boots with Orange logo, and crashes/reboot after several second, it's like the firmware upgrade had no effect at all. I've tried different firmwares... some can pass, other not, but nothing works, nothing change. I wanted to use re-partition options, but it never works, Odin is asking for a pit file... I cannot find any pit file for this model on the net.
I can enter recovery mode, I can enter download mode. But I cannot get rid of this update.
Hard reset seems to work... but change NOTHING!
What can I do? Help!
Thank you...
Okay, it sounds stupid but hear me out here:
I have had the S7 Edge for 2 years now, the screen cracked and then i tried a glass repair, causing the LCD to bleed out, long story short i bought a oneplus 5t, which is perfectly fine, stock android p port from pixel xl...
ANYWAY
i bought a new screen for 190 €, a new backcover for 20€ a new charger and headphones for 20 € and now i wanted to repair it, screen works fine, BUT! Battery issues, it just wont accept power, i already ordered a new battery.
Now where you people can help me: when i turn it on, it just sends me straight to the "recovery" telling me: "NO COMMAND" <-- no big deal, volume up + power
NO SUCH FILE DIRECTORY NO RECOVERY
DO I NOT HAVE A RECOVERY???
i flashed the stock rom, it passed, i turn it on:
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
Powered by Android
all good.
"NO COMMAND"
i press volume up + power
NO SUCH FILE DIRECTORY: RECOVERY
i can't find anything on the internet
did i finally soft and hardbrick that thing?
Did you flash the stock ROM with non-home CSC instead of the home CSC? non-Home CSC may be required in some cases depending on how bricked the phone is.

Yes, i tried multiple versions. 6.0.1, didnt work. then i tried 8.0.0, it passed, but still "no command" and no recovery...
i have downloaded android nougat for it, and will try today...
im adding BL and AP, if i do BL, AP, CSC and the other thing in between it just stops at a random second, so i unplug and unbrick it
What should i try?
For flashing 7.0 Nougat you use Odin v3.10 or newer, for Oreo you use v3.13 or newer (Older wont work for oreo as the flashing tool does not flash or recognise oreo firmware properly).
Another thing to note is that most of the time you will not be able to flash firmware that is older than what has been flashed on there as samsung blocks downgrading firmware too old.
You need BL, AP, CP, and CSC or Home_CSC if you want to flash all of the samsung firmware properly. When you mean stops at a random section, is it stopping on a certain file and failing in a way displaying on the odin flashing text or on the phone's screen displaying red text?
If you can't get past the no command screen it could be that one of your volume, power or home buttons are faulty maybe damaged during disassembly / screen replacement of the phone.

I used the latest one for both, latest rom on sammobile and the latest odin.
i just want it to work so im going for the latest one
okay thanks, no it does not say anything red, if i try to flash twrp it says failed, if i try to flash older version like 6.0.1 it stops at "SYSTEM" like 13% are green and the phone just shuts off
just so you know, the phone has to be plugged in, since i think i punctured the battery while transferring all the components, it gives me a temperature warning and wont charge, i was 2 times inside the rom telling me to cool the phone off even tho the back was off and it wasnt warm
so i ended up flashing it, cause i could stay in download mode without a the cable plugged in for around 5 minutes, which is weird... i thought it was a software problem, thats why i flashed in in the first place.
if you could help me flash twrp and get me into it
that'd be great
thanks anyway for your help!
For the 'temperature warning and wont charge' is this a battery temperature too low or too high message?
Too low indicates a fault coming from the charging daughter board that plugs into the bottom left of the logic board.
Too high may indicate the battery going faulty or damage on the battery connector. Battery temp warnings will stop the battery from getting any charge while on or off.
Sorry to say this but if you want to get this phone working best to take it to a reputable phone repair shop to get the hardware issues sorted first (Sounds like a lot of pry damage) before doing software.
If the phone goes off immediately on unplug and requires phone to be plugged in to work the issue is also caused by the battery being faulty.
