first of all, before you flash this arrow room, which version of samsung android u had?, if u had 4.2.2 u can still flash official rooms via odin, from 4.3 u cannot, the only way would be if you make a backup of ur sgs4..., customs roms can brick your phone (for me the safest one is cyanogenmod, but in a sgs4 only when the phone never were updated with android 4.3 on 4.4.2), try JTAG to fix it(not u, an expert needs to do this...)
PS: sorry for my bad english(still learning)

Phone stops booting

Hi guys,
My galaxy Y start booting but after a while is shutted down and is restarting. "A while" means Samsung logo or samsung logo and after boot animation. Even when I go to recovery or download mode after a while galaxy y stops working. I think it's hardware related. What I have to do to repair my phone?
Try flash stock rom via ODIN.
I can't. Download mode dissapear after a while
Your power button was damaged maybe.
U changed the kernel? Some of kernels have this prob in some roms maybe this is the problem...if u dont want to lose ur data try flashing stock kernel

Rom: Cyanogenmod 7.2

Hi,
Your power button seems stuck. Try hitting your power button on hard surface and see if your phone can boot. Please ignore all workarounds by other users above. Instead, try my workaround first.
If it's still not booting, you need a power button replacement. Let me know how it's going.

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

GT-I9505 unable to boot; freezes constantly in Download Mode; can't flash anything

Hello,
my Galaxy S4 got soft bricked recently and I am looking for a solution for 5 days now and now I decided to ask you guys for help since I can't find anyone with the same problem.
I had Albe95 LolliROM 9.0 (15/05/16) [HPA1] flashed on my phone for about 3 weeks and everything was perfect.
I was using my phone when it suddenly restarted itself and it got stuck in a bootloop (SAMSUNG animation). After many attempts I could boot into recovery (TWRP) but it would freeze there and I had to remove the battery...
I could also boot into Download Mode so I decided to flash a stock rom (I9505XXUHOJ2_I9505OXAHOJ2_I9505XXUHOJ2_HOME.tar) which I downloaded from Sammobile. Odin would always stuck at system.img.ext4 but again after many attempts it workted and I had success. When it was booting my phone froze at "optimizing apps". So I had to turn it off and restart again, but this time the phone was always freezing at the first samsung logo and wouldn't go further.
I can still go into Download mode but can't flash anything because eather Odin fails (complete(write) operation failed) or my phone freezes. Sometimes when I boot my phone into Download Mode the screen would do strange things like flickering and weird colors would show in DL Mode.
So my problem:
- booting into Download mode after works though it freezes sometimes
- can't flash roms because phone is freezing all the time
The model # in download mode is 9505? Was the phone ever dropped? You're using the original Samsung USB cable to flash?

Thanks for the reply.
-yes modelnr is 9505.
-i have not dropped my phone recently. I mean its over 3 years old so of course I've dropped it but never really bad and it has no scratches or anything.
-I've tried different cables and samsung cable was one of them.
I also tried all ports of my laptop even tried another pc
Maybe flash the stock rom with a pit file?

I didn't try this pit file thing because I don't understand the meaning of it exactly..
But after many many Odin flash attempts I got a success with a stock rom 5.0.1.
I think I figured out what the problem is but I can't really tell why it's happening (Hardware broken maybe, but which one?)
So after the flashing the stock rom successfully the phone restarted and started the first boot but it froze during the samsung animation again...
I thought maybe if I try a lot of times eventually it will work, so I tried and tried and it always got stuck at samsung animation. (before every boot I had to remove the battery and wait ca 10 sec because otherwise the phone would not start booting at all)
I did not come further than the samsung animation so I removed the battery and placed the phone (I almost gave up).
But after one hour I tried again and this time it passed the samsung animation and got to the Optimization part of the apps. aaaaand it froze there again.
I thought maybe if I wait again for 1 hour I can pass the optimization part. So I did and it really worked. I got to the startscreen.
So the current problem is:
- The phone boots and makes it to the homescreen and freezes after ca 10 seconds. And also I have to wait for about half an hour or one hour to get that far. If I try again right after the freezing I can't get passed the Samsung logo.
What could cause this freezing? Maybe the cpu has to "cool down" in the one hour of waiting and freezes because it gets to hot? I really don't know what it could be.
Something on the motherboard, likely either CPU, EMMC chip, or GPU, is failing. Why or how I don't know, but I'd have a tech look at it.

try a 4 file package, download it with SamFirm
Your phone does not seem dead, if it boots to the logo, there is still hope.
You can to boot into recovery, you just do it in the right way!
