Was running Paranoid Android ver 23/10
Tried to restore the Note back to the latest UK stock ROM via ODIN
Forgot to wipe/davlik before hand
then got stuck in boot loop
Then tried flashing a rooted GB rom in ODIN
stuck now on the Samsung Note boot screen occasionally looping.
Then tried flashing an original non-rooted GB rom in Odin
got stuck on Data.img
Now the screen shows three images and the message
firmware upgrade encountered an issue
Now with the Samsung Repair centre in Eastbourne and they are failing to be able to do anything...In fact they have just told me the phone is plugged in set in ENGINEERS MODE...???
Is there any advice I can give them, I was lead to believe it was bricked and thought they had sent it away to have a new board, but now its plugged in engineers mode.
Confused any advice would be very helpful.

If they don't know nobody knows!!!
If it was in Boot loop how do you thought it was bricked. After this "latest UK stock ROM via ODIN" you told it got stuck in boot loop. There was nothing to worry, you could have gone to recovery wiped data, cache & Dalvik you should have been fine. You don't have to do all other things.
And please don't post it in "Dev" thread please take it to general section. I think you know this already :angel:
Sorry, have asked mods to move this thread
Sir ensure stickys are read and understood, Moved & Thank you.
I tried to install CWM earlier today and its gone wrong and now i get the dreaded error message
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue etc
Kies wont recover it either.
Now im hoping i can get it going again quickly
Just from skimming through here while trying to pack i gather i need to use odin to reflash the stock firmware.
I wouldnt normally ask but could some nice person spoon feed me given the circumstances of time constraints

All you need to do is search google. No one spoon feeds you in real life so no one shouldn't spoon feed you here also.

You need to follow these instructions but you need to download your correct firmware.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
Use Odin to flash stock firmware by following this guide, I assume that you have the i9505, if so then flash this CWM,
thanks i need to find the right rom now
thanks fingers crossed
EDIT
im guessing this is the right rom
I9505XXUBMEA_I9505OXXBMF1_XEF.zip
thanks guys weve done it!
its resurrected!
cheers
I stuffed my phone up again and thought id post here instead of making a new thread.
flashed the latest modem which in turn has for some reason fubored all my dialling out and messages etc so i cant use the phone for anything other than browsing .....
I9505XXUBMEA_I9505OXXBMF1_XEF.zip<<<<<<<<<<<<this is what i used last time and it didnt work this time
so ive now tryed this one I9505XXUFNB8_I9505BTUFNB3_I9505XXUFNB8_HOME.tar.md5
my phone is a sim free s4.
the second one appears to work but wont get passed the lock screen with out continuous errors. (i note i now have the knox label in the bootloader)
How do i find the latest stock rom for my phone? so i can start again?
thanks
I had exact same issue so i falshed XXUFNB9 from sammobile and now im rooted runnin cm11 m9 .
Do suggest UNISTALLING samsung usb drives from pc and reinstalling fresh new ones for your device snd then flashing. I flashed 4 different firmwares. It was only until i reinstalled s4 usb drives my phone becsme alive. Dunno how but i reckon usb drives is the issue
hello guys
i have i9505 here when it boots it shows in top left corner this massage in red and yello and it just stuck at that massage with galaxy s4 logo
(red) boot screen kernel is not seandroid enforcing
(yello ) set warranty bit kernel
TBH with you guys i Don't know what happened with this phone beside someone tried to flash it with a rom and it went wrong
and what do you think about this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2594483 did anyone try it and what happened to phone ??
how do i know phone region ?? CSC_config_LSB
a friend of me said i need Z3x samsung tool box to fix it is that a box or a program that i can download ??
I'm sorry to bother you
That method should work
Edit: and no you don't need any toolbox
thank you another question how do i know My Phone CSC or region or any firmware will be ok ??
I honestly don't know, for my model I just download the firmware for it and flash it but it may be different for the i9505.. I would think you download the firmware for your country/carrier if available from sammobile.com and flash it through Odin.. There may be a guide for this try searching the forums
on which model you tried this ?? and how did it go , did work ??
I didn't have the same problem but I know this solution works, it fixes many problems.. I have M919 USA model
ok i will try it nothing to lose and About Z3x do you really think I don't need it , because my friend said its only solution for this problem !
Yeah I'm pretty sure you don't, as long as it turns on you shouldn't need it for the most part
i tried that on 1st attempt it failed however in 2nd attempt odin doesn't detect phone ??
i did try it 3 times i only got a firmware upgrade enncoutered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again !! AND kies is not connecting the Phone.
Uninstall kies, reboot and try again
did that nothing changed
Try changing usb ports and try every last available port, if that doesn't work try reinstalling drivers
did it all and nothing changed
will downgrading help ??

Nope.. Can you try a different computer?
Edit: what version of Odin are you using? Try a different version, or newest if you don't already have it
It's just a normal message when you use a custom kernel. A custom kernel is always included in a custom rom. So nothing to worry about.
You can do 2 things:
1. Flash a custom recovery (if you don't already have on), flash the custom rom you want.
2. Flash one of the latest stock roms. The rom from the thread you posted is outdated and can't be flashed to your phone if you have the latest bootloader.
They are right, I actually thought about suggesting that but for some reason I thought you didn't have custom recovery, if you do you can just flash a ROM without having to worry about connecting to Odin
sorry for late respond i will try to flash recovery and see if i can boot to into it
Hi Guys. I'm new to this forum so do excuse me if you find my question stupid or in the wrong thread. I have a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900W8) which I tried rooting some time back. But as a result of the rooting, it has gone into a continuous boot loop. I have tried going back into recovery mode and resetting everything along with clearing the cache but that didn't work, Then I tried unrooting the device using ODIN and the stock ROM downloaded from Sammobile. But it showed failed at the end of the process. I thought that it may be because I may used the wrong ROM so now I'm trying to download the ROM used for unknown variants. My question is if there is any other way that I can use to unbrick my boot looped phone or will I have spend money and take to a service centre?
Any help or advise will be sincerely appreciated. It is worth mentioning here that I don't know anything about whether the phone was originally a Sprint or AT&T or Rogers or Bell etc phone.

Try TWRP recovery and flash with ODIN and unpin autoreboot in odin
Thanks for your valuable advise senzatiOn. Much appreciated. I have read about the TWRP recovery and in fact wanted to do that but I believe that there are specific files that are used for this type of recovery. I tried finding the ones suitable for my phone (SM-G900W8) but couldn't. So now if you could please please help me with getting the files and also the procedure to do the recovery using the TWRP method, I would be sincerely obliged.
Thanks

Hello and I apologise in advance for the size of the post. I'll try to be as succinct as possible but there's a lot to say. First off, I had a Wind Note 3. Then sick of the reception I swapped to Mobilicity. I rooted the phone 8 mos. ago and it went well, but a month later when I tried to install a new rom with Odin I did something wrong. To the best of my abilities, i made sure that what I was installing was for my type of phone. My Note ended up caught in an unending rebooting process with the message 'Recovery Booting...Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing Set Warranty Bit: recovery'. So I reconnected it to Odin and let it do its thing and I had a mediocre working phone. The menu and back keys were useless. I lived like that until I saw this post. So I downloaded the first item from this site. For Gapps I got the first choice of this list . However when I went to put my mobile in recovery mode it did the same 'Recovery Booting' message as it did the last time. Then I ran Odin again with this and while the phone was still not working properly when I tried to boot on recovery mode it allowed me to. I then uploaded the new rom but I got this message: (please follow this link for pictures.
So I need some guidance in what to do even if it is to tell me to use it as a paperweight. However, I think there's still hope for it. Any input will be much appreciated it.
I suggest you start over by flashing a stock rom from sammobile.com.

I did found the rom as u advised. The problem still persist, Odin shows no button called PDA as a mention but AP instead. Any ideas?
Sorry for pestering you, I dont mean to spam you. Thank you kindly,

Sent from my SM-G925F
PDA appears in Odin 3.07. AP appears in newer versions.
