Samsung S4 (i9505) bricked. Recovery doesn't work, only download mode. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
So what I recently did was I plug phone in downlaod mode to pc and install stock firmware (the same that was installed already 5.0.1) using odin. Unfortunetly phone still bricked, recovery doesnt't work. Then i was flash twrp recovery from odin and now phone show me:
recovery is not seandroid enforcing set warranty bit recovery alert. Now I'm thinking about do re-partition and install stock rom again, but i want to save my files.
Maby I'm doing something wrong, please help me.
Sorry for my english ;_;

What is the model # in download mode? Did you use the stock ROM from sammobile.com? Any errors when flashing with Odin?

No errors with flashing, I downloaded rom from stockroms.net, because sammobile download speed is frustrating and...
Model #? I do not understand what you mean. I see only GT-I9505, system status, knox etc.

I would try a firmware from samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com.

Was the phone dropped? What happened that needed you to reflash there stock ROM?
Can you flash twrp using Odin?

I need to flash to stock, because phone start restarting itself and sometimes gets bootloop. When I tried enter to recovery mode phone instantly reboot, after few tries recover stop working.

Maybe flash twrp to see if you can get into recovery?

When I flash twrp and enter recovery mode I have this alert:

So the phone stays on that message or something else happens?

Phon stay on that message and nothing else happeneds. Any tips?

Sounds like there could be a problem with the phone's internal memory chip. You could take it to a cell repair shop to see if they can flash the firmware using a jtag cable or octopus box.

Hmmm. What you think about flashing system with re-partition option? It make sense?

You can try flashing with a pit file. Make sure you get a pit file that matches the phone's internal memory size.

OK, when I do this, there is no way to save my files? Do you think, service can keep my internal data?

It's going to be very expensive to try and recover data, especially if the internal memory chip is damaged.

CANNOT return to STOCK for the the LIFE OF ME

Hi fellas, So here I am up at 5:42am (australian time) trying to fix my phone for the past 12 or so hours.
The Situation:
I can go into download mode as well as CWM recovery
- I cannot flash a stock rom via ODIN because it triggers the: INVALID EXT4 image error
- If I flash a rom via CWM, I can only boot up to the load screen
So guys, this is my last call. I'm willing to try ANYTHING.
EDIT1:
So here's the error message I receive when I try to flash a stock rom in ODIN:

this sounds weird, try to re-download the firmware and flash it again
just to know, how this happend? what do you do after get this error message??
Is it a HK note?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Try following the second link in my signature. See if that works for you.
Though it will flash the kitkat bootloader to your phone. So be sure.
No sweat mate. Had something like that happen to me before.
Factory reset in CWM.

I'm going through a list of multiple stock roms and flashing each one - hopefully one will work
I originally installed sweet rom and then tried to flash back to stock - most likely I accidentally flashed something through ODIN

Always remember Hong Kong edition phone cannot install whole world others country Note 3 stock ROM due to they aren't friend.
The only solution for you now is install CWM for KitKat and later updates to Sweet ROM v7

I've tried flashing twrp through doing several times with no success. Could it be because I flashed the full update (recovery, bootloader and rom)? I got the update straight from sam mobile

No, that wouldn't stop you from flashing TWRP, what error did you get? Which version of TWRP did you try? Did you try different USB ports and/or cables?

Hmmm, maybe the drivers? I have gone as far as formatted my computer reinstall windows and then reinstalled Samsung drivers just to make sure the computer wasn't the issue, turned out it was. Do you have another computer you could cleanly install the Samsung drivers and try flashing on that one?
King root probably works...
You can try King root and then replace King root with supersu. Check this out... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVvmGs_q6n8

Downgrading from 5.1.1 to 5.0.1

I've recently updated to 5.1.1 thru OTA update. Running fine for a few days but now phone keeps random rebooting and frequent crashes or hangs. Suspecting it may have been due to firmware.
Had did a factory reset and wiping of cache partition but issue persists.

Have you ever done this or heard of anyone doing it successfully? Everything I've read over the past 5 years is that will make a phone FUBAR'd.

I've done it multiple times on my phone. Flashing with Nand Erase All option is just erasing everything on your internal sd card, so all your previously installed programs and scripts that may conflict with the new rom will be erased.
It will not affect your EFS or your IMEI.
You just have to save all your important files to your external sd card first.

Interesting..... Have you done it with the COJ5 bootloader? And flashed to a 5.0.1 bootloader?
I understand what you are saying.
I've read some more about it this afternoon. Only a few articles suggested doing it. But they suggesting backing up /efs.
Not sure how /efs survives a internal sdcard erase.
I would think all partitions would be torched.

yes,before COJ5 it could be done,did you try this method(I have tried several times and several stock roms from sammobile)after COJ5,if you did not ,I strongly advice you ,do not try it ,if your phone is still on any other firmware except COJ5
I'm sorry for the confusion. My original post is actually in response to jengkhit's post when he mentioned that he is experiencing frequent crashes after updating via OTA. I recommend flashing the official rom via odin but the same 5.1.1 rom or later, not to a lower rom version like 5.0.1. I know that one cannot flash to a lower rom version once upgraded to the latest 5.1.1.

Hey GrippingSphere, thanks for your reply. I was busy over the weekend so no time to see this thread. I'm still facing the same issues. Now my phone often can't boot up. When it boots, often goes to Odin mode with mmc_read failed. Then I have to do soft reset multiple times before getting it to boot. I figured out the only way to prevent hanging/rebooting is to continuously run music/video player. Is this software or hardware issue?
Anyway, I tried to flash same version firmware to overwrite but also encountered the same problem in Odin. What might be the issue? And now my binary is custom although firmware is official.
My warranty already expired so I'm really praying I can fix this if it is software related.
Thanks again, anyone, who can help or encountered similar issues.
I can only think of reflashing your official rom then factory reset as the possible solutions to your phone problem. If these doesn't work then it might be a hardware problem already.

I bricked my Note because i didnt flash the kernel :(

Hey guys,
i tried to flash my note 4 using the openrecovery method
but i forgot to flash the kernel and now my phone is stuck in the booting at the Samsung symbol. Can someone please help? i can still get into the download mode
Thank you!!!
If you can access download mode, your phone is not bricked.
Simply download last firmware for your model from sammobile, and flash it with odin...
ok thanks, will do.
But how do I safely root the note 4 5.1.1? CF-Autoroot isnt compatible
Ok, I just finished download a stock rom for my phone (.tar.zip) but when I click start in Odin it always fails for some reason...<ID:0/003> Can't open the serial(COM) port.
Edit: tried a different port now it fails at:
<ID:0/003> sboot.bin
<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003> FAIL!
What can I do?
Does upgrading via Kies will result in losing all data?
I'm working on this issue for hours now but I'm stuck
Using Odin it will fail at sboot.bin
And kies doesnt recognize my note 4

Restore your backup in recovery
What is your exact model, G or F, what? You download the ROM from sammobile with your exact model no., and then flash.
It's N910H
I resolved it by recovering my phone via Kies though I lost all my data
Then I tried to install Xposed framework and now it's stuck in the bootloop again ...........
Never heard about the H version before! Anyway, make sure you are flashing the correct Xposed, that is Wanam's, but Arter's, and read the installation instructions closely.

[SOLVED] Bricked my Samsung Galaxy J5

I've completely bricked my Samsung Galaxy J5.
I've rooted my device with Odin using CF Autoroot. That went fine.
Then I went on and tried to install TWRP recovery with Odin. This went fine. Then I wanted to install CM 12.1. This ****ed up my phone. I forgot to enable developer options and OEM unlocking. Apparently this is something new since Android 5.1. NOT A SINGLE TUTORIAL MENTIONED THIS!!!
So back to stock firmware. It took 1 hour (!) and like 9000 ads (had to disable Adblock) to download the stock firmware. If you don't want to see adds and download full speed. Samsung must be run by a bunch of lomperds. Holy ****.
It finally downloaded and it seemed to work. Untill at the end:

Error on the phone:

ODIN: Invalid ext4 image
This appears to be a partition problem. So I tried to repartition with a random pit file I found on the internet (I guess Samsung really wants to loose customers). I got the next error:
Code:
Secure check fail: pit
Now I'm stuck. I can only get into download mode. Maybe I need a proper pit file?
Solution: Buy a real phone with linux support. Burn this one.
If you can get into download mode the phone is redoversble, did you ever make a nandroid backup that you can flash with Odin?

I had the same problem once. I don't remember much but what I did was :
Go into download mode by pressing volume down and power and home button.
Go into Odin and flash the latest version of the stock rom (go to sammobile website to download it).
Now reroot the phone using the latest chainfire root files(available on chainfire website).
Flash twrp 3.0.0 or any better version. Version 3 works best on my j500f.
Also if you are still getting the pit file error, it may be because of the corrupt tar file you are using in Odin. So download the latest rom from sammobile. If you still get the error, try rebooting your computer to see if it helps.
Goodluck!

That is what I did. It gives me next error:
Code:
<ID:0/003> hidden.img.ext4
<ID:0/003> FAIL! (Ext4)
Rebooting didn't fix the problem.
I think it is related to the fact that there is something wrong with the partitioning. If only Samsung would provide the right files to fix this...
I should have known that this process would fail since I had to install WINDOWS in order to work with Odin. Wtf?
I've rooted several HTC phones before without any problem. This is complete nonsense.
Samsung made too many mistakes imho. I'm not gonna spend another afternoon figuring out that I cannot fix my phone. I'm gonna send this phone where it came from and I'll probably buy a phone that has proper support. Maybe a Nexus.
Samsung never again.

Yes. Bought the Nexus 5X.

Refund it and follow my steps -
If you remember ur model number, its chance to unbrick it
1. Go to sammobile
2. Go to search ROMs
3. Type in ur phone model
4. A list should appear? Right?
5. Search the country where you live - if its not in the list choose the country that is close to yours.
6. Download & flash with odin

Dude, that is the fix for that hidden.ex4 stuff.
I had this problem myself, and I fixed it by this method. Not trying to be rude here.
Sent from my SM-J500FN using XDA-Developers mobile app
The fix will be easy , after flashing the whole firmware it will only fail once the whole process is done 99%
so the fix will be flash custom recovery (TWRP/CWM) since you already said yourself that you are going to root your phone.
then now you can now boot your phone.
FIX:Flash custom recovery after Flash failed firmware
Another will be : Recovery firmware using Smart Switch (Google it yourself)
Another will beIT partition for your Device
Thanks me for my own experimentation (Y)

Nothing of this crap is working! I istalled twrp and rebooted to it! Deleted all except that one witch has IMEI info and then flashed via odin! Now? Phone works! I'm kinda dissapointed in Samsung! They are like Chinese broken goods from Craigslist! (No racism here)
