[Q] S4 Bootloop no root after lollipop OTA - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
yesterday i have received the (in)famous update 5.01 on my S4 non rooted.
Everything went ok, but after i manually rebooted this morning, now i'm stuck in bootloop
I can enter recovery mode, i can enter safe mode but it reboot by itself..
tried to wipe cache but nothing changed.
Can you give me an hint about what to do? i know the solution might be the factory reset, but how can i backup everything before that?
Thanks in advance!

Bootloop after the factory reset

Hi guys.
I was planning to install CM 7.2 on my Galaxy Ace for quite a long time and decided to do it today. I have rooted my phone and installed CWM on it, following steps described on the forum. I have made some backups with CWM and My Backup Root. Everything was fine, I have turned my phone off and back on without any problems. However, after doing the factory reset and clearing cache partition via CWM I cannot get past the bootloop animation, it keeps showing my network logo and Samsung logo. After about 5 minutes I have pulled the battery out and restored the CWM backup, but it didn't help. Any idea of what to do to bring my phone back to life?
Thanks,
Draggy
I have flashed my phone with the latest Samsung Galaxy Ace firmware using Odin, but it didn't help - instead of O2 logo there is only the Samsung animation now. I really don't know what to do.
Try a FULL Odin package, and make sure your phone model is the exact one of the rom you are flashing (5830/5830i etc)

After flashing the new software I had to take the battery out and then go to the recovery mode and do the factory reset again. I think I now need to root my phone again and install CWM, as I've got the stock recovery now. Thanks for help.

The problem is that I haven't done anything wrong. I followed the steps from the forum and I would have never thought that the bootloop may happen because of factory resetting the phone. Anyway, I'll try and get the CM working tonight. :silly:

N7000 Stuck at samsung ):

Hi guys. Recently I have been using my phone and it hit 1% battery then went dead.
I charged it and rebooted it but it was stuck on the samsung logo.
I cleared my cache and dalvic but no luck ):
I also tried to Go back to GB stock and when I did it it works but keeps saying android something as crashed and every time I hit OK, It just popped up again.
I tried using Odin on my PC to go back to ICS but STILL stuck on the logo.
Made a NANDROID backup but still no luck...
Please help me!
are you on ICS now? if so, install philz kernel from recovery , reboot into recovery and perform a wipe data / factory reset. this should boot up the phone. if on GB, just go into recovery and do a factory reset

Hi, I did a factory reset. Although it was my final resort.
Do you think my phone will still be stuck when I recover from NANDROID?
if the nandroid has bad data then it will. but still worth a try as you can do a factory wipe to get booted again

Ok I will give it a try thank you I will report back if anything is gone wrong.
+1 thanks
this happened with me a month ago , i installed an app from store and it asked to reboot my device , when i did so , my note lagged on the shining samsung logo .
All what i did is flashing my note with original stock firmware using Odin , and the device still working perfectly till now ..
** my device version is ICS .
** most devices won't loss their data using this method , 'cuz it's like a software update ..
best of luck

[Q] I I think I softbricked my phone.

Hello, I have Galaxy S3 Mini I8190. I have rooted my phone today to Pack-Man 4.4.2. There was no problem while I am using my rooted phone. After all that I decided to unroot my phone and I tried to do that with Odin. I did select Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time and I did install official I8190 4.1.2 firmware. My phone reset himself after installing and stuck on samsung logo. Is there any way I can fix? Thanks.

I tried to look but I only find this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642274 and it didn't help me. I think because I have installed 4.1.2 version. Kies can't downgrade I think...

After you installed successfully a stock rom then you have to do a factory reset in original Android recovery (factory reset with original Android recovery will delete all your data also on internal storage). Or try to reflash the Firmware
I think my problem is I didn't do any wipes in teamwin recovery. I installed the official firmware with Odin and I got bootloop. I don't know how to fix it. I tried the solution examples in this forum and I still have bootloop. By the way I had Cyanogen Mod 11.0 and I rooted Pack-Man 4.4.2 with Odin without doing any cache wipes etc, and I got bootloop after installing it. I really appreciate helps. Thanks.
Yes you ned to wipe cache, dalvik and data when moving from one android version to another. Searxh for a "wipe"-file for i8190 to flash in odin.

Download your device's stock firmware and flash it using Odin.
Read this or this.
You wiped cache?

Stuck in CWM Recovery!! Please help!

So, this morning I had a notification saying that an update to v20c is available for my stock LG 4.1.2. So, after the update data was downloaded, the phone needed to restart in order to install the update. When it restarted, the CWM Recovery came up and that's when I knew I shouldn't have tried to update the phone. So I tried restarting it again and the CWM Recovery was still the thing that came up. And so on... I also tried to wipe cache, I did a factory reset... Nothing works. Please, help!
Flesh another rom from it.Or Flesh kdz file.
