S4 galaxy i9500

Yes... It happened after i tried to update a firmware to lollilop...
After it happened i tried to fix PIT with a stock rom...
Now it turns on while connected to a usb shows the galxy logo and then reboots...
If disconnected from usb or power it just dies...
I can access download mode and cwm while connected to usb.
At some moments it even reaches the android system and tries booting but then goes to a reboot loop again.

Greetings,
Thank you for using XDA Assist. Please provide your device make and model so I can guide you to the correct information and help you need.
Thank you.

What problem did the phone have that prompted you to flash the phone?
Did you perform a factory wipe in stock recovery before booting the newly-flashed stock rom for the first time?

The original problem was that all processes started halting...
I did the wipe to lollilop and then installed a rom... That is when tthe device bricked.
Later i downloaded a firmware which was supposed to be stock firmware and tried flashing it but it didn't help.
No matter what i try it keeps looping without the ability to power on without a usb connection being plugged (pc or power).
I am looking for an original firmware which would contain the files for the bbotloader and other in order to flash again...
Will appreciate any help.
The device was bought in Israel.

Did you try flashing a stock ROM with a pit file?

Hi and thank u for your response.
As far as i know it os a galaxy s4,
Gt-I9500 bought on Israel. Was running the cellphone company' stock version 5.0.1 with base version i9500xxuhhog1.
It started doing some problems after it was lost and found.
The cell company bllocked it and we had to replace the imei.
Then every process we tried to work with, halted.
So we decided to flash a new version and new firmware.
We tried moving to lollilop and cm12 but the dvices got to the point where it is now.
I am sure it is something we did with odin...
But not sure what.
Now the situation is as follows.
The device doesn't boot when pressing on the power button.
For booting we need to plug it to a usb power supply or pc and just go to recovery.
From there we choose the option of reboot system and it boots, but keeps looping.
If at any moment we unplug the ub connection it dies.
Following to some advises i tried getting the stock rom online and found a version i9500xxuhog1.
And a pit file.
I applied them to the device, though nothong changed.
10xs for any help.

Yes... Several times.
With several different firmwares.

So Odin never finished flashing a stock rom?
You may have to use a jtag service to repair the phone.

Samsung Galaxy S Update Faild, Phone won't Start or Boot

Hi,
Today I wanted to update my Galaxy S via Kies and I get "Update Fail". From then my phone won't start, won't boot, won't do anything. On screen appears a phone with exclamation mark and a PC. I tried vol down + home + power but that symbol

You can see the exact symptomes if you will search on youtube "Re: Samsung galaxy s upgrade FROYO 2.2 fail ! ! HELPPP "

In Kies select "tools", "emergence firmware recovery"....follow on screen instructions
This happened to me more than once.
Just pull out your battery and push the powerbutton for 3 seconds.
Now put the battery in, start in downloadmode and flash via odin
Time for a custom rom if you ask me...
You will never look back trust me...
Custom ROMS are always problematic and the OP is not asking about custom or stock roms..
@gabi Whenever such a situation occurs, just reinsert the battery and enter the phone to download mode and flash again and make sure your USB connection is solid and you are flashing with the correct files.
First of all.. that's a load of crap..
2nd.. he is using kies, not odin .. so what correct files?
Facepalm.

We know that he was using KIES but as Timmey806 advised him in the 3rd post to use Odin for convenience, So I was talking about Odin and the firmware files you dumb-bell.

Also you are able to flash a stock firmware with odin but the OP has to find the right firmeware on his own.

I don't understand the part I bold. Is it bootloop still, even after flashing a stock ROM via Odin successfully? That's weird!
I think you can wipe your phone via ADB, not sure though.

Happened to me but on the note 1 i flashed the pit files also for the phone using pdin and it fixed my problem. Maybe if all else fails try flasing stock rom with pit files using odin.

I understand the need to enable usb debugging in settings before using ADB.
is it important? because my phone does not start so I can access the settings to enable usb debugging

Yes mate, I think its needed to be enabled. Still you can try and see if your phone shows up on ADB or not, there will be a six or eight digit code appearing on the ADB screen if the phone is successfully connected, but I guess you know that already by reading that topic.
You can ask ADB related queries in that topic too, I guess.
Do update here whatever happens.

So you type adb device, and the device isn't showing up? Ah, that's normal I guess, knowing you can't turn on USB Debugging. I am out of help sadly. You need to get in touch with more advanced users now. I don't know if it's possible to turn on a phone's USB debugging mode without booting into the OS. You could ask in that topic though.

Seems like the EFS partition is broken (IMEI Invalid)
If You don't have any backups done by custom recovery, well... You're probably done.
I am having a similar problem. After enabling KNOX, which I thought was just another antivirus, my phone rebooted, and just got stuck. It would go to the boot page, with the name, and then it would act like it was gonna go to my home screen, but the screen would go black and it would start over. I cleared the cache and factory wiped it, but still no luck. I didn't enable usb debugging, and from what I know there is no way to enable it. I need it to use odin to flash a rom and start over. any suggestions?

Hey, thank you for the help!
It starts and it doesn't! With the battery, after I try to turn on, it keeps blinking repeatedly and stops only if I remove the battery. And my issue with any fix that I try to flash is that the computer doesn't recognize, probably cuz the blinking blue light is just a random light and not the phone actually trying to turn on... so Odin, for example, doesn't catch any device!
Is there any way to make the computer recognize it? I already tried some usb drivers, but nothing so far... BTW, I have a windows 10.
Thanks!

Well Windows 10 64bit has been creating problems for many many people in the forum and I have seen people running vm and win 7 for the best results. And something very important I must say is that, most of the new computers do have USB 2.0 ports but they are limited in number, so you should find one on ur PC, to us it specifically for phone tweaking softwares. I would suggest you find another PC or laptop around,

Without recovery or Download mode, you'll need to take it to someone with a black box or jtag.
If you can access a working phone of your same model, you can boot download mode from sd

Stuck at bootscreen (no boot loop) and unable to do anything (Galaxy note 4 N910H)

Hi guys,
I own a Galaxy Note 4 (N910H) and have rooted it before without any problem.
Long story short I wanted to install a custom rom and on the instruction says I need to reset my device to factory before I actually install it (because mine is 4.4.4).
I successfully reset it back to factory settings, however when I tried to install the rom an error occured.
When my device restarted it goes into a boot loop.
So I go into the recovery mode and delete the caches and what not (even selecting the reset to factory setting again).
When my device restart it is stuck at the boot sreen (samsung galaxy blablabla) and it DOESNT LOOP, it just stuck there and I am unable to go into recovery mode.
I tried to reflash it using odin (i can access the downloading mode) up to no avail.
My device is detected by odin (com:x) but when I pressed start it stuck at setup connection and after a while I got the Fail message.
Now I am at a loss and have no idea what else to do. Tried kies, doesnt work either.
Kies doesnt even recognize the connection to my phone.
Any help would be appreciated.
NB: I'm a newb at this so please bear with me (and yes I kind of ****ed up)
Thanks

If I'm not mistaken you have Kies installed? If that is the case I would recommend you uninstall it. Then manually download the Samsung USB drivers
http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117
Reboot your PC just to be sure.
Then make sure your device isn't connected to the charger or computer and remove the battery and after 10 seconds reinsert the battery and manually boot into Download Mode (Home + Volume Down while holding the power button.)
Then connect your phone to the your PC and run Odin as Admin and try to flash the firmware.
I would also recommend that the firmware you are flashing is the correct one and is not corrupted.
You can check the firmware from Sammobile and after the download check the MD5Sum and then extract the zip file to get the firmware file.
Good luck and report back.

Thanks Battlehero! now I finally get my galaxy note back to work again.
Now let's say if I want to Root my device again, is it as simple as installing CWM or TWRP and then install a custom rom?

If you want to root your current rom then install a custom recovery (TWRP) recommended then flash SuperSU Current release: https://download.chainfire.eu/740/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip

I was trying to flash Twrp recovery in my phone using flashify. It said flash successfully and i rebooted. It starting bootlooping. I manually tried by pressing Volume up + Home+Power keys it was still doing bootloop. I tried to goto download mode by pressing Volume Down+ Home+Power keys it still kept bootlooping even USB jig didn't work. I need your valued suggestion about what to do next.
Thanks in Advance.

Just flash your firmware from Odin using a PC, I had a similar problem in my tablet, it didn't had download mode either and that worked, try it.
When I connect it to Pc it keeps bootlooping and pc gives sound of connecting then disconnecting of hardware.

How did you flash a firmware, when your tablet didn't have download mode? What ODIN version did you use? please tell us we need your experience.

Turn off your device, keep your finger in the button until the device is off or pull off the battery, connect it to the PC and flash your firmware through Odin, at that moment I used the 3.70 i think but you can use the latest version it's fine, that should install download mode and the whole firmware if that doesn't work I'm afraid I don't know how else I can help, that's what I did and it worked

You are right I did it the same way and it worked for me too. I actually was thinking the phone was quite dead bur or wasn't, I just flashed the recovery firmware 4.4.4 Russian and if you ask me food the step by step procedure it was just like this:
1. I started the Odin 3.07 and connected my device to see is it was detected or not, my surprise the Odin catch it, and shown added and the port number was 18.
2. I just pulled out the USB cable from my laptop and loaded the BL file only to just flash the bootloader file and see what would happen, I was trying it bcz I was totally disappointed with the device i.e. Grand Prime 530H Duos. I also noticed that my device was not stable even with that black screen it used to restart after almost five minutes in that case. And I knew that in 5 minute I will just be able to flash BL file. The BL file was loaded on the Odin now and I inserted the USB cable again while keeping the vol down button pressed to my laptop when the Odin again found and connected with my device, I didnot take any more time to flash BL file.
3. As soon as i had not flashed all the SW therefore, my device didn't boot properly, and I thought it didn't work but when my device was connected to the computer I just listened the startup tone of the Android 4.4.4. From that moment I knew my device was not dead now so i had to select all four files from the recovery firmware of 4.4.4 and connect the device to odin even there was no sign of download mode, as soon i clicked the Start button i saw many things in the Odin which were good enough to see. after the firmware flashed the device got started.

Hello guys! Could you please help me with the same issue? The difference is that Odin doesn't recognize when I plug in my phone! I don't know what else to do. It's a G530H.
Thank you very much!

From that moment I knew my device was not dead now so i pullup the battery, put it again inside to check its status, did this almost thrice, but still the same black screen, yet i heard the startup sound everytime. Now as far as knew the phone is on but showing nothing, I had to select all four files from the recovery firmware of 4.4.4 and connect the device to odin even there was no sign of download mode, as soon i clicked the Start button i saw many things in the Odin bar which were good enough to see. after the firmware flashed the device got started.

Is your USB cable original is it working on other devices? And are you using a USB 2.0 port, that is very much necessary, for Odin and some other hardware/software environment applications. And you also must have Samsung USB drivers installed in your PC, you can also try all this process on some other PCs

Hello!
Yes, that USB works with other phones. And even not being the original one, it was working to transfer files before this issue...
It is a USB 2.0 port, and even when I go to "Device Manage" on Windows, it doesn't show any port with an unknown device or something like that...
Thanks!
