Hi. So i've got an issue with my galaxy s4 9505.

KIES running in background as process?
Tried another USB cable?
Tried to use another USB slot?
In order to turn it off ... did you try to push Powerbutton and hold it pressed until re-boot?
BTW what did you do to get into this situation?

Try flashing a Stock ROM with ODIN
PS: Give more informations please

hi
​Thank you for your quick reply. Fortunately i've resolved the issue. Indeed i've flashed a stock rooted rom(XXBMEA) and it worked. Unfortunately my goal was to flash the new Omega v5.0 rom but it looks like i cant flash the new TWRP 2.5.0 kernel. I can flash it successfuly but nothing happens. Can you please help me in this sittuation. At this momment Im using the XXBMEA stock rooted rom with the wifi and data fully working. So i think i could flash at any momment the Omega rom if i could flash a working TWRP or any other way if u know. Please help me.

UPDATE:
FLashed stock germany lollipop leak rom and its successfull, still no recovery, flashed twrp, still no recovery

UPDATE:
- Tried going safemode, it doesn't
- Tried flashing lollipop bootloader and modem ( ticking bootloader update ) flashed but stuck in "samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9505"

- Did you uncheck auto-reboot before flashing a custom recovery?
- Did you use .pit and checked re-partition before flashing the rom?
Though it sounds more like a hardware error.

Custom recovery issue - help please

Hi Guys,
trying to flash a custom Rom on my Note 3. It is a UK model supplied by EE but is unbranded.
Flashed several phones before, just running into some issues this time round.
Got my Rom, Autoroot, CWM and Odin downloaded.
Flash Autoroot with Odin - no problem.
Flash CWM with Odin - no problem - until i try to boot into recovery anyway.
No error message etc on Odin but when i try to boot into recovery it keeps saying "cannot do normal boot" and puts me into download mode.
I can get to download mode to reflash and have tried TWRP with the same results.
It is saying "custom binary" when in download mode, and my Knox counter has tripped to 1 (phone out of warranty so not fussed).
Ive searched online and cannot find a thread where they actually manage to sort the problem.
Presumably what I want to do (install a custom Rom) is not impossible as there are so many Roms etc available for the Note 3, I am just a bit stuck as to my next step.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Use TWRP or Philz Recovery .

Thanks for the reply JJEgan, I tried Twrp also to the same effect. I did try Cwm first though, is this a common thing when using Cwm or have I done something wrong?
Im going to flash a stock 4.4.2 from SamUK and try again from scratch to see if it made a difference coming from 4.4.2 instead of 5.0 and then TWRP

S5 Prime SM-G906K ODIN FAILED after ROOTING and Twrp Installation Need Expert Opinion

Hi guys i need expert opinions as i am worried about my device. I have S5 Prime G906K with Marshmallow installed. The set is super fine. I wanted to root and flash custom recovery my S5 Prime. I followed the direction of Kyntik (recognized developer of TWRP for my G906 Device). The procedure was successful. Set rooted and recovery installed but two major issues which appeared were:
1) I tried to flash stock Samsung firmware for my model from Sammobile with latest provided ODIN on their site. ODIN failed and i was unable to boot. i tried to boot in recovery but it said UPDATE INTERRUPTED Try Kies etc. I tried again but ODIN Failed when writing System.imge. I tried it around 5 to 6 time and SUDDENLY entire .md5 file was flashed. I dont know what was worng? Have you guys ever faced this issue? if so what was your loophole how you managed to get out of it? Is it me or others have faced it if so tell me the possible reasons where i was wrong? I am asking this because i love trying different roms cooked for our devices but i am scared now.
2) After i rooted and installed twrp on my handset, it always displayed a yellow message on top left corner which said "SET BIT WARRANTY:KERNAL" And when i tried to boot recovery message used to be "SET WARRANTY BIT:RECOVERY.
Whats going on here? I have come back to samsung after 3 years of enjoying LG so i dont much about recent changes. Your opinions will clearify my in :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Thank you but this was my method and as i mentioned i followed the procedure of Kyntik. I had no problem after installing twrp and getting rooted. Only problem i faced was while flashing stock firmware again now m confused was it caused by custom recovery or this was random error. fortunately ODIN flashed my set after trying it 8 times its working perfectly on stock. but i want custom roms thats why m cautious

Softbricked A5(2016) A510F - can't install firmware

Hey there!
So it seem like I bricked a friends A510F
Wifi, bluetooth, mobile data all weren't working properly and there were some minor difficulties with performance so we decided to install AOSP...
All her data is secured so I seached for a good ROM and tried to install TWRP from here. Installing via Odin sadly failed so now I have device without Android, only OdinMode is working, but all attempts to install either twrp for a custom ROM or Samsung original firmware failed...
Any clues what I'm doing wrong? Haven't done a Samsung device so far...
All suggestions welcome
yanness

Download repair firmware from xda and flash it through odin.it will probably work!

What happens when the phone is turned on? Does it get stuck in boot logo and stays like that? Try flashing stock bootloader. Also give details on which firmware u were on. What error do u get in odin?

Hello Sirs,
Please, can anybody help me? It is very weird what is happening!
After to go and download the original firmware in Sammobile, I used odin to install a stock rom! Odin is OK (process completed) but when it is trying to start, the logo samsung is blocked (bootloader). I have tried to modify the hidden.img to hidden.img.tar and I have use Odin but nothing looks like to work. Can anybody help me?
Thanks so much in advance!
Additional info: The device has not been rooted, etc.

hey i use a galaxy a510F currently and evertime i get FRP locked, software deleted, broken rom or twrp, my final solution is to odin flash a PERFECTLY WORKING STOCK ROM (which i had to try downloading from 3 or 4 different sites) and then i'd flash twrp ( official ) and restore one of by backups if needed. last time i had to flash because i hot frp locked tring out a new rom. i flashed over a stock rom and i got my phone working surprisingly without even losing my apps.
file i used is:" INS-A510FXXU8CSF1-20190710103917.zip"
pm me if u need a link (its in my drive)
