A partial Brick? "Recovering Boot" message - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
The situation is more or less this one: my phone stopped to work since the Lollipop has installed on it automatically, I allowed that update of course. Since then became very unstable, till start looping constantly...
FYI: Bought the phone in US but I'm living in Portugal, so Samsung over here didn't gave me any support due to warranty restrictions.
So I tried to solve the issue by myself and completely messed up with the phone.
I downloaded the Firmware version: I9295XXUDOD3_I9295OXXDOD1_I9295XXUDOD3_HOME.tar.md5
Model GT-I9295
Model name GALAXY S4 Active
Country Portugal (TPH)
Version Android 5.0.1
Changelist 4556221
Build date Thu, 16 Apr 2015 07:43:33 +0000
Product code TPH
PDA I9295XXUDOD3
CSC I9295OXXDOD1
Followed all the instructions:
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.10.6
Extract Odin ZIP file
Open Odin v.3.10.6
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes.
The Odin is showing green "Pass", after 07' and 18'' of installation process.
But the phone simply reboots at the end and shows on the screen (on blue) RECOVERY BOOTING and nothing else happens.
Just freezes there...
I've tried to press and hold Home + Power + Volume Up buttons, and stays always on the same.
Tried several attempts to "flash the Rom", and something went very wrong, failed on Odin, etc... I know that I'm completely out of my league!
So, what can I do now to recover it? Is there a way or the phone is permanently lost?
Thank you so much for your help guys!

First question, you mentioned that you bought the phone in the US. Did you purchase the AT&T model i537, or international model i9295? Since you can't boot your phone you can check which model underneath the battery, or if you have the AT&T version there will be an AT&T logo on the back cover.

I think is the "international model".

At least it is not the AT&T version, cause there isn't any logo on it. Here is its ID data:
"MODELO": GT-I9295
FCC ID: A3LGTI9295
SSN: -I9295GSMH
S/N: R31D70S6ZBF

download mode still working? if yes try to flash 442
you flashed 501 over 422?

If I fully understand what you are meaning, I think I can say I've flashed 501 over 501 already.
The phone was already with Lollipop. It upgraded it via OTA as I'm saying initially. As the phone stooped to work, I've downloaded the Android 501 - Firmware version: I9295XXUDOD3_I9295OXXDOD1_I9295XXUDOD3_HOME.tar.md 5 and the situation now is as the one previously described.

you did't answer, Vol.down+power for download mode is working? try to flash custom recovery .

Yes, it's still working.

I've downloaded the tar file from download link. Used Odin and "Pass!" the flash process.
Then the phone Recovery Mode is showing one more line after the "Recovery Booting....": the line in red says "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING".

Tried to flash with the 4.4.2 and still freezes on "Recovery Booting...."
Thank you for your help.

Every time you flash a stock rom through Odin, your phone will return to stock recovery too.
Yes I think you'll need pit files.

Where to find the correct ones for this phone?

The web page shows "404 Not Found".
But, should be in a Zip like this one with the necessary files to a complete process:
At least on the page instructions of androidbiits.com it's mentioned about several files to choose with Odin:
a ".tar.md5" file plus a "modem" file plus a "csc" file + a ".pit" file.
Any suggestion to find an alternative?
Again, stuck...

Firstly, I would recommend to use Odin 3.7 or 3.9. You can get the firmware from sammobile.com/firmware, put the device name and select the one for your region.
I would recommend a clean install with factory reset.

He can't make factory reset. Phone is stuck in recovery starting.

[Q] Flashing with ODIN

I'm currently stuck in a position where my phone will not boot at all (the boot screen displaying "GT-i9000" and "Samsung" in white font does NOT appear AT ALL), nor can I boot my phone into recovery mode—absolutely every effort produces no effects, and leaves the screen in a solid, lifeless black. The only thing that has any effect is booting the phone into download mode, which is successful; however...
I am unsuccessful in flashing a ROM with ODIN. I have the proper drivers installed, and the phone shows up in ODIN just fine. It also goes through the entire ODIN flashing process as if everything has worked fine. The end result is, at the end of the ODIN flashing process, when the phone restarts and boots, it has the white font (GT-i9000 + Samsung) cycling—it appears, disappears, reappears, and seems to cycle infinitely. The only way to stop the cycle is to do a battery pull. At this stage, my phone repeats the symptoms of the first paragraph: pressing/holding the power button does NOT boot the phone, but does nothing; pressing/holding the volume up + home button + power button does NOT enter recovery, but does nothing; however, I can successfully enter the download mode.
My phone shows up in ODIN without a problem, and I have attempted to flash various original stock ROMs via their respective TAR files—but to no avail. I am in a cycle that produces no effect.
If anyone could advise me as to whether or not ODIN is flashing incorrectly, or what is going on, I would greatly appreciate it. If anyone could point me to the next step, it would help tremendously. Thanks in advance.
Try flashing firmware with PDA, Modem and CSC with repartition?
Maybe some Eclair firmware...
i was in the same situation as u were. i got the (asian version)I9000ZSJP2 ROM and flashed my mobile using odin. I used pit, pda, phone and csc files from the same link from samfirmware (cant post links)
(also had re-partition checked against website's address).
it was a chinese rom and had to change language in settings..> locale...> english.
hope this helps.
Hi,
You can make a flash to the last stable version JPY. In the arhive provided by samfirmware there is a single file "*.tar" select that file on PDA option on ODIN. You try first without cheking "repartion" checkbox. If not working check repartition. That it's all.
REMENBER: JPY is for european model of samsung galaxy s.
I have tried with "repartition" both checked and unchecked. My phone is an i9000m, but I'm assuming JPY would work fine on it, considering every custom ROM I've ever used was based on that firmware. Is this an incorrect assumption? Should I find i9000m firmware (if so, where)?
I'll try getting some files from samfirmware. Fingers crossed! I'll report back on the results.

I have tried every combination of repartition, pit files (or no pit files, as suggested on samfirmware), firmwares, etc. that I can possibly think of. All with the same result: the phone displays the intial boot screen (not the animated one, but the one that says "GT-i9000" and "Samsung" in white font) and get stuck showing that (it flashes the screen, goes away as if it is going to boot, then shows the screen again, cycling forever until I battery pull).

This did not work. It produced the same results as any other attempt to use Odin, being stuck looping the screen with the white text. Download mode continues to work, but powering on the phone normally AND trying to boot into Recovery BOTH get stuck looping the screen with the white text.
Has anyone heard of this problem before? I'd really like a definitive answer before I write my phone off as bricked/dead.
Man, if you have a i9000m that means you have a USA phone model. So go to samfirmware.com and flash with odin version I9000BVJJPD, this is the last firmware for your specific model.

Galaxy S i9000m is the Canadian version of the i9000, which is the European model. USA does not have such models; the closest is the Vibrant, which is quite different.
Nevertheless, I'll take your advice assuming you know something that I do not. i9000m's are not sold in the USA (as far as I'm concerned), so samfirmware's site having a "USA" section for i9000 left me confused. Considering every custom ROM I've ever flashed onto my phone was based off i9000 firmware, as well as the fact that I once tried flashing USA firmware on my phone which left it unusable, I assumed I should be looking at the European versions. I'll try the latest USA version and see what happens.
I will report back. Fingers crossed!
Good luck! I hope that will work.

Using the USA firmware (I9000BVJJPD) gave the exact same result. I still cannot get past the white text. I do greatly appreciate the suggestion though.

[Q] Phone stuck on the Samsung logo and won't go into recovery

Hey everyone
I've got a Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N and I've got a huge problem.
It first started out with me trying to root my phone, everything seemed to go well until i tried to turn my phone on, which resulted in it being stuck on the samsung logo, I snooped around the internet trying to find a solution and was recommended to reflash with different tar files but nothing worked. I tried to reset to factory settings through recovery mode but I couldn't even access the recovery mode. I then tried to get back to factory settings using Samsung Kies but after the whole installation it didn't seem to work either. I tried almost everything possible, I checked out every link on the first page of google relating to my problem yet nothing works. The only thing I can do is enter download mode and that's it.
I wasn't aware of how rooting actually works and simply followed a tutorial on CNet (I can't post a link yet as I haven't reached 10 posts). Not sure if this helps but so far that's all I can remember from memory, if you need more info i'll happily share that.

Did you flashed firmware for N variant, and no special carrier firmware downloaded? Did it gave "pass" on odin?
If yes, try to reflash it and wait a little more to reboot (maybe)

You must be flashed wrong root file from the first. Usually, flashing stock firmware could solve this problem.

Just so you know, and MD5 file will do you absolutely no good unless you need to fake a program into believing the file you have with a bad checksum is legit. All an MD5 file does is contains a checksum for an installer or bootloader to validate. It does not have any files, or data in it whatsoever. it is just a text file with a string of numbers in all essence.

How to finish Rooting my phone via KingRoot

Hello this morning I tried to root my phone using the KingRoot app trough the purify app I downloaded yesterday. When my phone started to "root" it turned off. And when I try to turn it back on it doesn't power up. Instead I am met with a small red message at the top left of the screen that states "KERNAL IS NOT SEANDRIOD ENFORCING Custom binary blocked by FAP Lock" I went to a local phone repair shop and they tried to factory reset my phone and that didn't work. The employee stated that the root is already started and needs to be finished and referred me to this site to seek help. Please help I have no technological back round and just want my phone to work again.

Please Help..Sprint Note 5..Boot issues?

Ok here is my issue. I have been flashing droids for years without a single issue. I got my Note 5 about 2 months ago and decided to flash it since it was possible for the Sprint model. Flashing went as normal, perfect. I flashed a custom ROM, MOAR, and it was working great. No issues, very amazing ROM by the way. I then went and made a back up with TWRP and saved it to my OTG flash drive. I then proceeded to change the boot image, the one that says "Samsung" logo, because I had seen a tutorial on how someone did that on a Note 5. Now comes my problem. After flashing the new boot image, my Note 5 WILL NOT boot up. It will charge, as it does show it charging, I can get it into Download Mode. and that's it, just Download Mode. No recovery mode, no boot image, just Download Mode. I want to know if it's possible to use the backup that got from TWRP, which was a full backup, and use it with Odin to flash it back to the way phone was before this mishap, reinstall the correct boot image, or WHATEVER I need to get my phone up and running again. Thank you very much to anyone and everyone that can help me out
I would use download mode and a full firmware package to get it back working and booting , and once that works , I would use my backup to return to where i was.

Do you know where I could get one? I need this phone up and running really bad. I just went to Sprint and they said they were going to charge me $75 to look at and if it needed to be fixed it would be $350. I can't afford that. So ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Sorry about not answering earlier. You should get your firmware from www.sammobile.com , just search your model # (Note 5 are : SM-N920XX ) where the XX is carrier dependant. Sign up to their site and take the slow download. Then flash the firmware in download mode , using odin on your pc.

Just wanted to say thank you for the reply. I've been downloading the firmware for the past 2hrs now.lol. It was the "newest" upload they had for the firmware. If for whatever reason this doesn't work, GOD please it work, what should next? Thank you.
Well I flashed the new firmware(N920PVPU2BPG1_N920PSPT2BPG1_SPR) last night with Odin and to no avail it did not work. I still get only a black screen when trying to normal boot, still can't boot into recovery, but still can boot into Download Mode. I don't know what to do at this point. I have never had this happened.
