Flash a custom recovery like CWM and try with that.
If it still doesn't work then format your cache partition using CWM, that should fix it.

Did you try to flash an official stock rom for DBT (MDM) through pc odin ?After flashing go to stock recovery, first do factory reset and then wipe cache.

If after wiping cache, your phone reboots, then its "normal".Same happens with my s4 and my nexus 4.
In order to change CSC, in now days you must be root.Sorry for misunderstanding,but your phone is under BTU or DBT?
If you are rooted try the application https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tYW5uaWFray5jc2NzZWxlY3RvciJd
,tick the box (root enabling) and check your current CSC status (you can check it through stock recovery as well)

He reboot without wiping cache because normally when i stuck on the bootloop Samsung Galaxy S4 logo he don't want go more far than this he just stuck so i thinked the Wipe cache partition isn't wiped because he don't wanna work... 2 days ago i could wipe the cache without getting a reboot my phone is under BTU cause of the pre-root (I9505XXUAME2_I9505OXXAMDB_I9505XXUAME2_HOME.tar) i think so.
About the CSC i know this part need to be root for use CSC select then i can change the CSC and need to make a wipe factory/data of it
The problem is only even i install custom recovery for wipe the cache partition => he stuck.
Then i need to use this method: For not stuck on the boot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Even reinstalled the recovery stock it make same... he reboot and don't wipe the cache
Edit: re installed CWM recovery wiped 1st try the cache partition = stuck
then removed battery try again it work only but it have the message error
Error:

After i reinstalled the stock recovery, he dont wanted to make the wipe of the partition
I don't like this way to always wipe the cache partition by CWM and it's bugued because need remove the battery i don't find issue with the stock recovery cache ...

Broken cache partition / recovery stock
Hello, i have got a problem with the stock recovery of the S4 i-9505 the Wipe Cache Partition dont work, always when he reboot..
Hi,
I think I have the same problem with the same ROM XXUAMDM (DBT). When I try to wipe the Cache Partition the phone shows for a while the android logo and then reboots. I had a Galaxy S3 before and after pressing the start button to wipe the cache it just showed the messages:
-- Wiping Cache
Formatting /Cache...
Cache Wipe Complete.
I personally didn't even tried to flash another ROM because I wasn't sure I could recover from a Soft Brick. I would be very interested in finding a solution. I ask if flashing a PIT file could help?

Hello,
Yeah, i got this problem just after to started to flash and root or reset counter at 0 with triangle away.
The problem can't be resolved for now i think so... i searched since 3 full days, nothing.
Even if you flashing with a PIT file he can't help you the Stock recovery is broken a bit from the Wipe cache partition.
I'm not even sure all of this is due at the PIT file who make this bug to the recovery cache partition
The cache parition don't work well. So he still have always or sometimes the old code CSC- on the Recovery. By example the XXUAME2 BTU (U-K) then i flash on the STOCK MDM DBT (GERMANY), i noticed the CSC-code don't change he stay on CSC-BTU (U-K) when i starting the phone at select language by default.
I just found a trick to wipe the cache but he don't work always, with the CSC:
I have a STOCK XXUAME2 BTU (U-K) the after I tryed to flash the Stock rom MDM DBT (GERMANY), then I gone gone on Recovery Stock and Wipe Data/Factory x1 time, then i Wipe the Cache Partition x1 time and he reboot, before he try to reboot i remove the battery behind when the screen is dark. Then I restart in Recovery Stock one more time. I Wipe Cache Partition one more time and let it reboot the phone. After this the CSC-code may change into the new rom stock flashed. It don't work always but it may fix temporaly the problem of the CSC and the Wipe Cache Partition would work. (PS: he don't work each time... but it's the way i found, waiting for people found the problem)
Edit: this can't solve really the problem of the Wipe cache partition... someone have idea?

Try flashing PIT and stock firmware at the same time, using odin3.04. Don't use any pre-rooted or modified roms. Use the PURE stock roms which can be found at http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9505
After that, enter stock recovery and wipe data and cache. Phone will reboot. Flash stock rom again and see if there's anymore problems.
Edit: When and how did the cache partition problem happen? Sorry couldn't understand what happen in 1st post. Is the cache problem gone when u flash stock rom AND never perform any root process or CSC change?

(my first post so i can't link but paste this on the end of youtube)
watch?v=8Ypsm5xflVQ
Hard to find a video on someone wiping their cache partition on an s4 :silly:
Mine is behaving like the one above, and i was previosly on a pre rooted XXUBMEA but i now on stock firmware without root.
Behaving a bit diffrent if compared to the S3 who wiped the cache then you had to reboot i manualy.
I bought a clone samsung s4 19500 from bangkok last month.I downloaded an uninstaller (uninstall manager) from play store.Maybe by mistake i uninstalled some system file((Android OS,some mediatek file etc) to decrease internet data usage and my phone showed error messages.I quickly reinstalled somee uninstalled system apps using the backup files made by the backup data stored by the uninstaller program.but the error messages stated to increase.i removed my battery and when i opened the s 4 again it only kept on showing the opening message of "SAMSUNG" with some sound).what to do.plz help:
I also did the system restore/factory reset option by using power+vol up key but it did't help.i cleared user data also.What to do now?
THERE ARE THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS
1.its a clone and i cannot go into the download mode.
2. my s4 cannot be rooted or unrooted and its just in a bootloop.
3.I did not have any recovery software (backup file in my phone).
4.help me otherwise I would be in big trouble.plz,plz just once.help me.
IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN INSTALL A NEW ROM FROM SD CARD WITHOUT ROOTING OR CAN I ROOT MY PHONE IN THIS CONDITION.I CAN ONLY GO TO RECOVERY MODE IN WHICH THERE ARE FOLLOWING OPTIONS.
1.reboot system now.
2.apply update from ADB
3.apply update from sdcard
4.wipe data/factory reset.
5.wipe cache partition
6.backup user data.
7.restore user data.
THANK YOU in advance.I believe that u will help me out.plz plz plz plz plz.
The 4.3 stock android is finally out in my country for the i9500, I tried to install it via Kies but I had that "failed to run firmware upgrade unknown error occurred" error so I download the official firmware from Sammobile, so before I flash it with Odin 3.07, do I need to do a factory reset after the update? because I don't want to lose any data.

Rule NR1 - KIES is just for drivers to install them on windows PC
Rule NR2 - Odin is your best friend.
I remember how I did - I went to CWM, I wiped cache, dalvik cache, and files (<-- sorry, I forgot right not what is above "wipe cache partition")
than I flashed RESTORE files with repartitioning (with pit file) and then I turned on my mobile phone - everything worked. than root, than phill's touch CWM than "goldengun" (similar ROM name) and now I have good working functioning Android phone with backup in my SD card

Flash Rox's CWM through odin if you don't have it already.
Boot in recovery.
Mount: system, data, cache & storage.
Format: system, data, cache & storage. (I not sure if it wipes the external sdcard also, so remove it if you have important stuff)
Mount again : system, data, cache & storage.
Wipe: dalvik cache, cache & data/factory reset.
Go to download mode and flash your firmware.
Cross fingers and hope problem is gone.
I rooted my samsung galaxy grand prime SM-G530A, rebooted and soft bricked my phone.It says "secure fail:kernel". Not sure where to go from here. I dont have access to a computer to use Odin. I can access Android system recovery <3e> LMY48B.G530AUCU4AO17. Tried wiping data/factory reset and wipe cache partition, comes up as E: unknown volume for path [/sbfs ]
E: unknown volume "/sbfs". I do have a galaxy tab 2.0
I root my phone and have the same problem. Did you find any soulution to fix that problem?
not yet
Supposedly the SM-G530AZ cricket version has the same firmware. No luck yet, but that's with downloading files off of a windows phone and transferring them to the sd card. Basically from everything I've read so far, we forgot to flash the stock rom and kernel with flashify before rebooting the phone. I'm still trying though.
Hey guys if you do end up with Cricket software be careful as you will lose cellular data.
Solution(but you still need a computer)

You have to go to sam mobile and download your firmware for the specific device and flash it throw odin.It's like a fresh start.You probably messed up you rom and that why what are you trying has not working.Cheers
