Canadian S4 Bricked after LCD Density?

Okay here's the deal, I just got the Galaxy s4 bell canada SGH-I337M couple weeks ago, and I rooted it recently 2-3 days ago using the motochopper method, succcessful, I downloaded LCD Density Modder because I was googling up nifty apps, and later the day I forgot how to use it... so I just winged, and set the DPI I think it is, from 480 DPI to 520 DPI, I let the phone reboot and it turned on and showed the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo then just went completely black, and the blue LED light would stay on steady... I then attempted to go into recovery and did a hard reset, wiping everything cache and data, noticed that the the red triangle error was in recovery mode also... still didn't work
I decided to try and flash a custom recovery and root it with TWRP and I flashed it with odin and it is now successfuly with twrp, but it still not working and now I have no idea what to do from here, I tried googling and searching but no one has had problems with galaxy s4 yet....
If I recall on the Galaxy S3 a black screen and blue steady led light is whats called sudden death??
Can anybody help me? I tried downloading multi odin but it always closes whenever I use the stock firmware for the package portion..

Get into twrp recovery and wipe everything, system, data, dalvik/cache, preload, then format data. when that's done power off and go into download mode and Odin flash the stock ROM. you should be good to go after that

Samsung Galaxy S5 Stuck at Samsung Logo

Hi guys first i want you to know that my english is bad...
My phone is G900K - SpaceX Rom 5.0
I am using SpaceX Rom 5.0 for weeks and it is buggy, i experience random boot,app crash,fast battery drain and freezes.
Yesterday i reboot my phone and after "Android is Starting" i got message that System Crash or System UI i am not sure what it is but it has System word in error report. Then my phone didn't start so i remove the battery and put it again. After pressing on the Power on Button my S5 starts and i notice the Blue Light in Upper Left didn't Light Up and my phone didn't boot to 2nd Samsung Logo. When i press Power On Button my S5 will turn on and 1st Samsung Logo will appear then It will Turn Off then Vibrates then goes back to 1st Samsung Logo it keeps repeating. Also i try Recovery Mode but i can't enter to it my phone will repeat the same process as i Turn On my phone. I can go to Download Mode, And i flash Stock Rom and after flashing Stock Rom there's a blue text in upper left Recovery Booting... but its not booting into recovery, It will just turn off again then vibrates then goes to 1st Samsung Logo.
If anyone experiencing the situation right now you can comment​

Same issue here. My phone is stuck at RECOVERY BOOTING. Is there anyone who can fix this issue? Thanks.

Boot to download mode (Vol down & Home & Power)
Flash stock ROM from sammobile .com with ODIN
Instructions under the download on their site

Go into download mode and do a firmware upgrade and initialisation through kies3. You will need your serial number and model number( on the white sticker behind the battery. in kies3 go tools> firmware upgrade and initialisation, then follow the on screen steps. I used this when I soft bricked my note 2 when I had it, I personally find it's the best way to restore a samsung device.

You should try first with kies3, it did help me to recover from custom ROM installation.
If it fails, flash stock with Odin3 from phone download mode is your last option.

I'm having the exact same issue! Been trying to flash the stockfirmware, but still stuck in recovery booting loop! Even trying to get into recovery mode has it looping. Kiess 3 says that my serial number is invalid, so matter which number I put in too. Hoping for some help!

Mine is the SM-G900W8 with Telus, so if we have the same model, I could probably give you my serial number cause I never had issues with mine. I know I have read places that sometime when people get stuck in recovery like that, they do a factory wipe and cache wipe in the stock recovery to get it to boot.

This same thing is happening with my s5 Verizon.. Need help to fix this i've tried flashing via odin, factory reseting..nothing worked
Can anybody help me please....thanks

Infinite boot loop of destruction.

So I was going through instagram like every other day when suddenly my phone boots and the boot just looped and looped... Then I made the hard decision of resetting my phone completely. Did cache wipe and data wipe and thought that it would work now but nope. Still in boot loop. Then when I got home I thought that I'm going to Odin and installing the stock ROM from this site. Then I continued to install the ROM, NEE version (since I live in Finland), and it got installed. Booted and looped. Looping and looping and looping right next to me. I tried using Samsung Kies but it was not doing anything when I was in download mode. Tried the emergency thing but nothing popped up to the list that it should have popped on. Don't know what I have done or what my phone has done. I didn't have root at the time it started the looping nor I have now and don't plan to get it again. Didn't have any other recovery than the stock recovery and have never used triangle away. Suggestions?

Using Odin, flash a rom with a pit file. That should repartition the phone and, hopefully, solve the issue.

Stuck at installing update s7 edge sprint

I have this galaxy s7 edge from sprint, from day 1 i was using it ok but there was an update available so i went for it OTA. the phone completed the process correctly, everything was fine. Then i powered off the phone (i had not done that since i got, kept it on and plugged during the night) that's when it started to bootloop into the logo.
I tried to flash the stock firmware, as the phone is able to go into download mode. Unfortunately as soon as the phone restarts, it wants to install an update, then the process stops at 25% or 32%, it changes every time.

Any luck ? I got same problem with my s7 edge

Do you all have disabled apps? Did you root? If you install an update with certain apps disable that's known to cause a bootloop but that's just my guess. If you say you don't have disabled apps I don't know then.

Before flashing the stock firmware, try this: Boot into stock recovery & perform a factory reset. Then boot into Download Mode & flash a firmware again.

Same issue. Factory reset from revovery. Downloaded lastest firmware for the model from SamFirm. Flashed with ODIN. Rebooted phone then stuck at 32% system update then erasing, now stuck on SAMSUNG logo. Cannot get into recovery mode by pressing Vol Up and Home button. Phone will just not respond. Will only respond once battery dies. all Lights are still on including blue light on top of phone. Any help?

hello i had this problem while i was trying to root and unlock the phone
this is what i did hopefully it works for you too
1* download the latest firmware according to your android version
use odin3 v3.13 patched version
2* boot into boot loader
chose Bl on odin and the pit file , uncheck re-partition
and press start , that will get your phone unbrick then flash the ap file and then cp and csc that shoud do the job :good:

S4 stuck in bootloop on stock android

My Galaxy S4 VE (GT-I9515) crashed. (the screen went black) It was not rooted and ran the latest Andoid 5.0.1 ROM.
When I turned it on, it went into a bootloop, randomly crashed during booting, or turned on normally. I removed sd and sim card and tried a different battery. Furthermore I tried to boot into recovery mode and wiped the system data and the cache. It did not help.
Sometimes it was not possible to get into recovery mode because the phone's screen went black and it rebooted.
Then I tried flashing multiple stock ROM files using Odin, but it did not solve the problem.
After that i tried rooting the device and installed a custom recovery (TWRP), but i still got random crashes during booting and sometimes it got stuck showing the samsung boot animation. The only things that work reliably are the Download Mode and the charging animation.
Now, what can I do to fix my phone?
I read a bit about flashing a .pit file but I don't think that will help?
Is this a hardware or a software issue?
How can I find out, what caused the problem?
