that's just a soft brick...
If u have orignal bill and have not rooted the phone before,go to a Samsung care and have it fixed.
Dont mess with it anymore,u may trip Knox,resulting in warranty void
edit:wait,u have custom system status,download a 4.4.2 for ur region and flash it

are u worried abt ur warranty?
coz if u flashed stock 4.3 then knox was installed too ..
and with knox tripped, u loose ur warranty ..
If u don't care abt that, wipe clean everything then flash any rom, it will do fine..

Hello guys,
I need your help again!
I recently changed my i9100g with this other device, GT-I9505 Italian version, no brand.
The history of this device was quite this: stock FW until 4.3 (just my suppose) --> CM11 --> try to flash 4.2.2 stock --> brick @[email protected]
Now I tried to put the original 4.4.2 firmware by flashing with Odin v3.09, because I don't want custom rom for the moment, just make it work.
The problem is that the phone stucks at Samsung logo, and when I tried to go in recovery mode, it stays on the same logo but there's a blue write in the top left corner "Recovery Booting".
Do you have any suggestion?
TY in advance

Flash the stock rom again..and do NOT check autoreboot in odin.
The straight away boot into recovery, factory reset it..and you'll boot

-Open odin
-Uncheck autoreboot
-Add your firmware file to the AP/PDA section
-Start the process
When this will end, your ohone wont boot automatically (obviously)
After 2-3 minutes start it, if it turns on properly congo..
If it doesnt..just boot into recovery (volume up+home button+power button) and perform a data wipe.
If this does not helo at all, download the LATEST KITKAT 4.4.2 UNBRANDED again for your phone as it can be a bad download issue too.

I would try another firmware less recent, just to see what happens...
But I have great news: Philz touch works, so now I have a working custom recovery!
the problem is that I can't just flash a custom ROM to repair
I think I need the pit file, but I can't find one on the internet @[email protected]

Y do you need a pit? Pit files are not to be played with and can possibly brick if not flashed with utmost care.
Try a stock firmware first. Dont try any stock firmware till you have a working phone..

Have you an idea on what to do?

The pit file is right there in @samersh72s thread
In the attachments.
Flash properly after reading the OP very carefully and DO NOT SKIP ANY STEP OR MODIFY any
Still IMHO a data wipe after reflashing can fix your bootloop.

Help?
Sent from my GT-I9500 using XDA Free mobile app
I was thinking about a possible cause: could it be that I'm using a wrong firmware?
this device is used, so I supposed that it was ITV the correct firmware, but not 100% sure...
I'm just sure that it is no-brand.

On top of all advice given here...
Can you boot at all? what is the status at the moment , rom recovery?
I would try to flash a recovery first ( twrp , philz) see if it works , do a factory reset ( backup first) and try flashing a stock rom,,see if it helps

The situation is still the same, so in order:
I cannot boot a complete system, I just stuck on samsung i9505 logo with blue "Recovery Booting" written in top-left on the screen;
At the moment I'm reflashing ossessively the stock rom, and philz touch; I can go in DL mode and not in the stock recovery, but when I flash philz touch I can enter by double clicking vol up when I see the blue, red and yellow writes.
I cannot do a factory reset, that is the real problem I suppose, 'cause when I enter in philz recovery, it says: "error mount /data etc etc..." as you can see in previous posts.
In DL mode this is the situation:
PN: GT-I9505
Current binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0
Knox Warranty Void: 0x1
csb-config-lsb: 0x30

Followed that guide many times, but the result is stuck in Samsung Logo.
Even tried flashing PIT file, but nothing changed.
maybe flash just a stock recovery after the firmware could solve the problem?
hello everyone, after rooting and flashing lots of phones, i have probably managed to brick one
since i am using linux, i tried heimdall wich detected but couldnt flash , not even read pit
i tried to root it, with kingroot, failed
then i tried kingoroot desktop app, it seemed to work then after flashing philzcwm using rashr, it went into download mode
at some time i may have flashed a recovery img onto BL, wich i NOW know is the bootloader
i knew that i shouldnt mess with the bootloader, but didnt think BL was bootloader
now using odin 3.10.6 in win xp it doesent seem to do nothing
it automatically goes into download mode with first line saying
"could not do normal boot"
i am now downloading an original firmware 4.4.6 from sam mobile
can anyone help me or is it bricked?
Lost count of how many things you did wrong there
Get a Native Windows 7+ PC running, boot the phone into download mode, flash stock ROM with ODIN 3.10.7
If it fixes it - spend a long time reading threads here on XDA before trying anything else
i dont think i flashed the bootloader, i remembered, odin was crashing before i ever hit start cause i was selecting the md5 and it didnt have the tar
now after flashing twrp 2.8 it boots fine, but if i try to boot in recovery, it goes to download mode "cant do normal boot"
flashed cf autoroot it also goes to download mode
i remember on galaxy s3 if you didnt restart straight to recovery just after flashing it would overwrite with stock recovery
but now if i try to restart to recovery after flashing it doesent do anything, i have to unplug it and take out the battery
edit
if i press vol[-] home power it goes to normal download mode
if i press vol[+] home power it supposed to go to recovery but goes to download mode with "could not do normal boot" message
if i press power alone it boots normally
in download mode it says
product name: sm-g901f

i dont mind learning but android is pretty ugly with all the lack of documentation and standards
i learned a lot of stuff reading this forum, and will always respect people who know more than me
i just dont understand what the hell just happened, didnt encountered this before
Yea.. So follow my instructions
i am following your instructions precisely , will spend the day installing crap win7 wich i am running away from, to use with 3.10.7
in the meantime can you explain to me what happened?
i read somewhere something about odin bad usb on xp, would that pe hardware, driver, odin or usb protocol error
fixed, was flashing klte recovery, damn dozen versions of every phone
only clean rom i found was cm12 and dokdo7, both 5.1 based
waiting for network unlock, and case and im good to go
would have loved more after-market roms omni,aokp,pac, maybe 4.4
5.1 has the crap pie (position independent executable) so i cant play with perl 5.20, im stuck with 5.7
if anyone knows where to find more clean roms for g901f / kccat6xx i would be greatful
a more recent version of perl to work on 5.1 would also be nice
did you ever get this fixed?
having the same trouble with my Note4...just happened out of nowhere.

How did you fix it ??? if i flash a custom rom i get the same issue and my device is the same as yours. I flashed back stock rom, samsungs own recovery works well but as soon as i flash a custom recovery (twrp-3.0.0-0-klte-klte.img.tar or philz_touch_6.57.8-klte.tar.md5) i get your issue. How can i fix this and install a custom recovery ? When i install CF-Auto-Root-kccat6-kccat6xx-smg901f.tar.md5 the recovery is back but even when i flash within the os (terminal) the recovery is broken "again"
FIXED!!!! Installed CWM-based Recovery v6.0.5.1

Download stock rom and flash by odin.They are plenty of websites online.Just search for ur phone model followed by stock rom and u will find the exact rom for u to download and flash via odin.
The problem was the recovery, same as the user on page 1. See my last notes in prev. post
hey guys,
first of all: S5 was not rooted and I did never flash a custom rom on this phone
a few days ago my S5 hang up and then rebooted.. it then stucks at the bootloader ("Set Warranty Bit : kernel").. I tried entering the recovery, but it doesn't work..
I tried to flash the recent stock rom (6.0.1) using download mode and Odin 3.12 and managed somehow to get to the recovery (couldn't boot android).. I wiped data and cache but that doesn't help either..
I tried flashing
- 6.0.1 (stock)
- 5.0 (stock)
- CWM recovery
- Bootloader and Modem
after flashing the rom it stucks at "Set Warranty Bit : recovery", after flashing bootloader and modem at "Set Warranty Bit : kernel" again..
thanks for your help..

Download the firmware from fw.updato.com(IMHO is better than sammobile because you can download firmware without speed cap) then extract boot.img and recovery.img from the firmware archive (tar.md5) that you have downloaded and using 7zip make a .tar archive with those file and flash the tar with odin

So smart switch and firmware restore didn't work...the last thing you could try is that method but IT WILL ERASE ALL YOUR DATA exept external-sdcard but pull it out of the phone to be sure,if you have one...
So the method is:
1)Download samfirm from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
2)Config it like that: Region= DBT,Model=SM-G900F,check this option: auto,binary nature,check CRC32 and decrypt automatically
3)extract the firmware from the zip in a folder and you should have 4 tar.md5 archives: BL,AP,CP,CSC (with their infos)
4)Download the latest version of odin (3.12.3 as of now) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451,open it and control that Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and be sure that Re-Partition is NOT checked put the archives in their right place and flash the phone
5)If the phone doesn't boot,pull the battery for 20 sec and reboot in recovery then wipe data and cache

No, stock recovery was flashed nearly the whole time.. CWM recovery only 5min to check whether it would help..
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Knox Warranty Void: 0x1 (2)

Are you really sure that you have a G900F lol,the possibility are 2
1)the bootloader keys are corrupted so every recovery get recognized as custom(that's quite impossible)
2)you have a different phone number
I think that's the 2 because a stock recovery signed by samsung can't get recognized as custom and after a complete firmware reinstallaton custom binary status should be "Samsung Official"...
Try to pull the battery and read the info at "Model"

If it doesn't then probably the eMMc is broken...

The last things i could think will solve the problem is try to downgrade to lollipop or kitkat or try another marshmallow firmware...if that doesn't work your phone is broken and you have to take it to a samsung service center and hope they doe sn't refuse your warranty due to knox 0x1...if they notice that you could try to say that the recovery error tripped knox even if it's stock
P.s.: Is your phone refurbished?

1)flash twrp boot it and place a boot.img on sdcard then go to advanced->terminal and exec:
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
If it doesn't work
2)go to the folder where you have extracted samfirm firmware open the csc archive with 7zip and extract the .pit file in the same folder,then open odin place all the 4 file in the right place go to pit and place there the pit file you have extracted and this time CHECK the repartition flag if is not checked check it by yourself or the pit will not have any effect

1) can not boot to recovery again..
2) failed to boot to recovery after reboot.. removed battery and started again.. show up "Installing system update" and after that "Erasing" but still failed to boot (rom / recovery).. Still the same information in download mode (Custom, Custom, 0x1 (2))

I'm sorry but if even the repartition doesn't work your phone is probably dead ,i think something in the motherboard(that would mean it's a hardware failure and not software problem and i think is unsolvable even with a jtag) like an eMMc partially broken and/or some printed circuit "burned" and/or other hardware part necessary to boot the recovery,kernel stopped working and that would explain:
1)why only download mode work(download mode is in sbl(secondary bootloader) partition that it's a part of the bootloader )
2)the bootloader behaviour("Set Warranty bit" even on stock partition)
3)and why none of the solutions worked
You could try to change the battery but i don't know if it will work...at least we tried
Samsung Galaxy A5 2016
Guys, a major problem here. So i cant turn on my phone..
Its stuck on boot screen with the following message "Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock"
Can't boot to twrp custom recovery (power+home+volup)
------
The only thing it can do is boot in to Odin downloader (power+home+voldown)
So i have already searched for a solution but all of those require a computer and a total hard reset of my phone. Which i don't want to. Because i don't want to lose all of my apps etc.
Is there a way i can bypass this frp lock? Without any major reset?

Sammobile or updato for samsung firmware make sure to download the correct firmware
For steps its pretty easy
Just download the zip extract it
Open Odin and in the AP section select the file
Make sure your phone is connected to pc in download mode
And start the flashing wait for it to complete
Done[emoji1303][emoji1303]

Just an update for future users passing by.
So basically everything went ok. Even better then ok!
I used Odin to flash a ROM which i found on Updato.. Used the PHN ROM version.
And surprisingly it didn't erase anything of my phone. It just gave it an update. Everything is the same again, data is intact, apps are still there. But with some updated apps from Samsung itself. I guess they included some security patches too.
Previously my phone wouldn't be able receive OTA updates, because it would say. You phone is modified/rooted or something like that.
Seems to me that flashing, updated everything without losing anything.
Good, couldn't be happier. Thanks again!.
