...but after flashing hundreds of times I've never had this problem before.
Flashed one of intratech's frankenstein roms (GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKJ3_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI3.tar.md5) and it just stayed on the booting page for seriously more than an hour.
Went back to download mode and flashed the kernel that goes with it (Kernel_I9100XWKJ3.tar.md5) and now I have no recovery mode and no download mode!
I do know how to get into both modes, it just isn't doing it. Instead of going into download or recovery, it just tries to boot as normal, so it's properly stuck.
Not sure Samsung would take kindly to me walking into their service centre with a custom rom etc, what do you reckon?
Try to buy a USB JIG off ebay, plug it in to see if it works

JUST done that actually lemin, thanks.
I guess if that doesn't work I'll have to take it to be fixed.
Wonder what could have gone wrong with the flashing...
Have you tried to remove the battery?

Seems all you needed in the first place is a factory reset from recovery, if the phone is trying to boot, it means the boot partition is intact and you are probably not executing the button combination properly.
Hold Volume up and home, then press power, keep holding the buttons until you are in recovery mode, then do a factory reset and reboot, enjoy your phone
Achilles, you might have thought so, and I wouldn't normally rule out the possibility of me being a dumbass, but really there is no recovery or download mode available. It just doesn't go into either. :-(

You are not being a dumbass, just probably not timing the button presses correctly, if you don't hold those three buttons down until the recovery is actually on the screen, the phone will try to boot normally, talking from experience here
If you are doing this but the phone is still trying to boot normally, then a jig might be the only way to force download mode as you have said that it is trying to boot, so the partitions are intact, a full brick shouldn't boot at all....
Also, I flashed the same ROM, it is not really a custom ROM in the true sense, just a stock ROM with different CSC and MODEM, I really doubt "they" can call that a custom ROM and I doubt they would be able to tell anyway, "it's all stock parts" so long as you didn't flash any custom kernels or anything.
Good Luck.......
Just my humour achilles.
Trust me, as sure as I am about putting one foot in front of the other to walk, I know how to get this baby into download/recovery mode, and it aint playing.
Jig, then service centre it is. Until then, have to use the Galaxy Tab a la Dom Joly.
i've been searching for roms, and i downloaded a rom that need to reboot, after it switched off my mobile and switched it on again, i've been stuck at the boot logo ever since. im using Kingo Android Root to root my phone, any good suggestions to help me solve this head wrenching problem?

I was trying to root my Galaxy Note 3, KitKat, SM-N900T with Odin 3.9. Everything went fine and I got the PASS! message. I disconnect the phone and I expected the automatic booting. That never happened. The screen started to flash the RECOVERING ROOTING (blue), RECOVERING IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING (red) and SET WARRANTY BIT : RECOVERY(yellow). Nothing that I did after that worked to get rid of those messages. I wonder if my new phone is bricked now or if I have a chance of recover it. Taking the battery out and putting in again plus holding all the buttons doesn't stop the messages from flashing. Please help!

Thank you for the suggestion but no idea how to do it with a phone stuck in the booting screen. Any help on how to get rid of it? Once that is done then I can proceed with your steps.
Take the battery out, put back in (dont turn back on)and hold volume up, home and power button. It'll take you into download mode.
Then flash your stock ROM via Odin

I tried that many times. It doesn't take me to the download mode but again to the screen I mentioned. Frustrating!..
It just keeps bootlooping you mean?
Keep trying to get into download mode, might be that you're catching the power button first and powering the phone back on.
Can you get into recovery ? Volume down and power/home button.
You should be able to get to one of them at least

Try this.
Remove and put battery back in, don't power on.
Hold Vol Down + Power + Home Button all at the same time until the warning message comes up then let go of the buttons. Finally press Vol Up only and you'll be in download mode. Connect phone to usb.
Flash this CF Auto root courtesy of Chainfire thru odin. Not sure if CF updated it for 4.4 but one poster said it worked for him on his Tmo.
Optionally flash a custom recovery cause you will have a stock recovery after rooting.
help me!
I had the same issue, I did as you said, but now I am stuck at RECOVERY BOOTING... RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING Set Warranty Bit: recovery.
(it never shows the orange pirate rooting guy)
however, against all judgement I tried it with the sm9005 instead of the sm900t file and it passed into the orange pirate root guy, however it gets stuck at the boot logo, do you guys have any Idea what could be wrong?

I've got myself stuck a couple times... both times I booted into download mode and selected reboot phone... it worked both times. As stated in another reply, make sure you pull the battery then replace and make sure you are holding home/vol/power... and make sure you get the home/vol buttons before you press and hold power.

HI there, guys! I just read the whole thread and maybe you can help me also! I'm facing a less critical, but similar problem.
I use Omega ROM (Android 4.3 yet) and just after a reboot my device is stuck at boot animation forever. The only thing I did before rebooting was freeze S Finder using Titanium Backup (after it was enabled again because Samsung updated it a few days ago) and move some apps to SD Card using Clean Master.
The critical part is that I can't enter Recovery Mode to try to solve wiping caches because my Reactivation Lock feature is enabled, so I can't access it.
Is there anything I can do except from flashing stock ROM over Omega itself? I can't lose my files on internal storage. There are pretty important ones! =/

my galaxy s4 is always boot looping into Samsung galaxy s4 screen. only the download mode screen appears but it reboots again after 5 seconds and keeps on rebooting . any help ?
Do you run with stock or custom recovery? Have you tried to (re-)flash a custom recovery (CWM highly recommended)?

Hm, if I understand you correctly, you can boot into download mode but it just lasts a couple of seconds before it reboots on its own, right? You cannot boot into recovery as the screen simply stays black. Can you boot successfully into /system or does it bootloop as well?
Sounds like a hardbrick to me, the only thing I can think of before sending your phone in for repair is to pull out the battery for 1 hour or so, reinsert it and boot directly into download mode and see if it stays there. If it does, flash a custom recovery using Odin and check whether you can boot into it afterwards.

I'm, I was actually, on stock everything, rom, kernel and recovery
30 68336826
OK so I left my phone without a battery in it for the afternoon, just got back home and gave it a try.
It booted. No idea why or what actually went wrong.
Lets hope it doesn't happen again!
OK, So the point that the phone just start booting just the moment the battery is inserted got me thinking
IS IT THE POWER SWITCH?
and indeed it's, the power switch is stuck on, although I can feel the click when I push, still, seems like something is wrong with it
so I tried to suck it out, hit the phone softly few times while the power switch is facing the ground
inserted the battery, aaaand, it didn't start booting, pressed the power softly, and horaaaaay, it's working
Had the same issue and indeed I knocked the power button several times and it worked very well. Thank you! You saved my day

I have similar problem... and identified its power button.
How i identified is as phone switched on i hold menu button and volume down button together and
it booted in download mode, for download mode you have to keep pressing power button, volume
down button and menu button but it went without pressing power button.. so i assume that its power
button.
Try it... hope will identify your problem

Hello!
I have the same problem, and disassemble the cell and saw that the button will operate properly .
Someone has managed to get out of this problem?
thanks a lot... i was facing same problem... i hit ma phn near power switch...again n again... it worked... love u xda
whoa, I just got this problem recently, because some of bezel around my phone has cracked, then I try to glue it roughly.
at the other hand, I tried to install new kernel. I tought that kernel make my phone bricked. then I found this thread. so I open my case. and found my glue sticked to the power button, remove it and. voilaaaa~
thank you XDA. you never cease to amaze me. lol
Hello,
I loaded my SM-G900F with a custom rom and it suddenly died... There is no way to switch it on and when I connect it to my laptop it shows QHSUSB_BULK under device manager. I read a lot of posts and I understand that I need an unbrick image to boot from an sd card. Is that the right thing to do?
I would really appreciate is somebody could help.
Thanks in advance!

What rom, and what version were you on when you started? Which recovery, and which version do you have loaded? What, exactly was the procedure you followed, and what version of which custom rom did you try to flash?

Hi hexavoodoomal!
Thanks for replying to my message. The ROM was Sixperience 7.0. I am not sure about the recovery... I am sure I had TWRP installed.
Everything was working fine. The ROM installed properly and worked with no problems for a couple of days but suddenly the phone died. I am sure that it was updating something from Samsung. ANT+ may be?
Can you help?
Thanks!!

I hope so. Can you boot into recovery by removing the battery, and waiting for 10 secs, replacing the battery, and depressing the volume down button, the home button, and the power on button all at the same time?

No. I cannot boot in recovery mode. I tried several times...
Volume down is download mode
Volume up is recovery
A ROM can not break download mode, it's hard coded into the hardware, if removing the battery hasn't worked, power it on, and hold the power button for 30 seconds, remove the battery for 30 seconds, replace and try again
Oops, ha-ha. I called it recovery' didn't I? My bad. Get into download mode, follow the prompt, get odin, and flash the stock ROM for your phone. You can find links to the latest firmware on this site. There are other sites that have it too, but yiur best served geting it here. That will get you back where you started.
Hey guys,
i never flashed/rooted/modified my Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 before. Sitting on my desk, my phone turned off suddenly. At the first moment i thought, that the battery is just empty. After i charged the phone and went away, i got back and saw, that it was rebooting (the whole time?)
As i said, i got never in contact with modding/flashing, so i had to read pretty much about these things. After several days of reading and trying i did this:
Tried to get into Recovery Mode with VOL Up and Power button to wipe - "recovery is not seandroid enforcing set warranty bit recovery" in blue, red and yellow.
Flashed several Stock ROMs by Sammobile. After every flash i flashed TWRP - no change.
I get easily into Download Mode to flash the Stock ROMs, no errors in Odin, didn't check autoboot and repartition
Yesterday i flashed I9505XXUFNA5 - Open Europe - KK 4.4.2 (four-pieced) sucessfully. Then i flashed TWRP and tried to get into Recovery Mode - same results, i thought. But after i put the phone on my desk to think about what to do next, TWRP Recovery Mode was starting. I was totally happy, but didnt want to do something wrong in my euphoria. So i put out the battery to read about what to do, allthough i knew i wanted to do a wipe. After i read i wanted to try it again - no chance! I couldnt get into recovery mode again. I waited, nothing happened. Tried it again and again.. and again. Then i flashed the Stock ROM again, flashed TWRP again - no change. Meanwhile did this 8 times again and i didnt get into recovery mode again. Thats absolutely illogical in my opinion.
Please help me to get out of this, i dont know what to do now... THANKS

Yes, home is optional (as i read) but i press this 3 buttons. I pressed it in several variations, for example like one user here in xda: "right after it vibrates release the power button only, keep pressing the volume up and home buttons for another 5-10sec as Whosebat recommended..."
Home button is not necessary, just vol up / down + power button. I also have the same issue as you. I went to a GSM service earlier today and over there was another S4 with exactly the same issue. Looks like lifespan of our phone reached to an end?

Just speculating, but: I didnt update to the firmware version, from which you couldnt get back to the earlier versions. The reason would be some safety reasons. I thought about a relation to that for a short period of time.
