Hey guys.

So I had been running Haylcion ROM (lollipop) on my i9500 for a few months, but then it started performing really poorly. So I decided to update to the latest version of the Haylcion ROM. After that, the phone won't work properly. It would get stuck on something, the screen would not turn on after pressing the power button etc. I had performed a clean flash.

After that, I decided to try another ROM. So I flashed ResurrectionRemix (GearCM build), latest version as of 24 July, '15. It booted fine, I changed the settings and stuff as we all do after flashing a new ROM. Then suddenly it rebooted, and was stuck on the RR Bootlogo. Even when I entered recovery mode and wiped the data and cache, it would still be stuck on the RR Bootlogo.

This is very strange to me, this has never happened before, and it seems there's some kind of problem in my phone, unrelated to the two custom ROMs that I've tried today.

Shall I try a third ROM or is there a way to get either of the two mentioned ROMs to work properly?

Thanks.

Rooted phone, Stuck in boot samsung sparkling image

Hi guys, I am not amazing at manipulating a rooted phone yet but after 2 years of having a rooted phone i decided to go one step further and start flashing roms. I started off by downloading rom manager and creating a backup from there. I tried flashing something that would make it so my phone would have super mario flying through instead of the conventional samsung logo when my phone started. After the process the only thing that changed was that the phone would not show the samsung logo any more (ut i could hear the sound). So I decided since I screwed up to just recover my phone. So I went in my clockworkmod app and asked it to recover. After then entire recovery process my phone just satys stuck on the samsung logo, not the first logo but the one with the colors shooting out. The reason why im posting here is because when I attempted to recover again i noticed the message .android_secure.img not found. skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure . So now all I want is my phone to turn back on, and I have no idea what to do next? Can anyone point me in the right direction, and if I do have to bring it back to the store , how do I remove clockworkmod before going so that they don't know i rooted my phone?

Thank you for your help, it is much appreciated

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbomodder:
ROM manager has a bad reputation for screwing phones up, always boot to recovery and do a backup as log as its a custom one, also restore from recovery, does it charge? If so boot to download mode and flash a stock ROM for your device, then flash custom recovery, ( twrp personal choice as cwm development dropped) and root your device, then its prob best to flash a custom ROM and correct gapps and start a fresh, both custom ROM and gaps flashed in recovery,

Sent from my GT-I9195
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
As Jimbomodder said, do not use third party apps for stuff like that. Do it manually from the recovery. It's really simple.

And do not use CWM. It's hightly outdated and should not be used anymore. Instead use the latest TWRP. Flash it trough Odin.

Considering your backup, you will probably not be able to restore it anymore.

Hey people!

I've been asking for help in this post, and I STILL NEED IT!

But you don't really need to read the post linked above, I have major updates:

My i9505 goes into Bootloop everytime the battery charge level goes under 30%.

I've been making dirt/clean flash of the custom/stock v5.0.1, v5.1.1 roms; 1 file with/without PIT.

ATM using stock rom v5.0.1 clean flashed after full wipe (everything Philz CWM of last version offers) with PIT, it still goes into bootloop.

HELP, please!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

It seems you have quite a complicated issue there. Thanks for sharing many details about it. I'll try helping you, I'm not sure if it will really fix anything or not, but I can think of some possible issues on your device, one of them is software incompatibility, which will be solved by fully wiping and installing stock, or it can be a hardware problem, which unfortunately are harder to solve.

I'd like you to try installing a custom recovery - I highly suggest using TWRP - and fully wiping your device - that means, perform a /system (system data) wipe, a /cache (cache data) wipe, a /boot (kernel) wipe, a /data (in this case try formatting even your internal storage) wipe -, remember to make a backup of everything in your computer to don't lose data, that way we can make sure nothing is wrong with the system having some kind of trouble when installing itself.

Second, install latest stock firmware to your device. You don't need to update your bootloader if you don't want to, but installing it together will give another way to assure it's not a problem software wise. Remember that after you install latest stock firmware on your device to check if modem matches the system build, sometimes modem doesn't stick and need to be reflashed. Do not use PIT file as it can damage your partition table if anything goes wrong.

Check if everything is working fine, if it is, then it's pretty likely that the problem was in software, if it's still having issues it can be a problem with your device hardware. Which by the description you gave can be in the device's antenna and/or battery and/or power supply. If that's the case then you should take it to a maintenance center.

Hope you can fix your problem,

~Lord

---------- Post added at 20:12 ---------- Previous post was at 20:09 ----------

Hi,

Can you please try installing TWRP using Odin from Download Mode, and see if you can manipulate your device from there. If you manage to do that, then maybe it can still be easily fixed. However, your backup probably won't be of use now.

All the best,

~Lord

Hello there, thank you for answering my plea!

Well, I did a full wipe, installed BT, Modem, Stock 5.0.1, and still the phone bootloops when battery charge is < 30%.

Seems that it's really a hardware problem, but it's strange due to the fact that brought this problem: all I did was flashing 5.1 custom rom from official cm 11.

If there is nothing else to do, I'm going to check the phone at some maintenance then...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

Well, it really seems it can't be a problem with software. As you wiped and changed everything. Can you try a spare battery? Let's hope for the less worse. Also, can you try now installing again a custom recovery and reinstalling CM11 and check if the bug is still present?

If those don't solve, I'm sorry but better check some maintenance. Unless some other expert here can solve your problem.

Um... I didn't try just yet, but is it even possible to flash CM 11 after flashing whichever LP? I thought it's something about bootloader and inability to downgrade to KK?

If there is a way, could you guide me how to, please? I've tried to flash 4.4.2 stock, but Odin failed to do that, so I came up with the idea it's not possible.

And no, I don't have a spare battery, unfortunately. So, this case leads me to maintanance center in anyway, if only flashing stock KK won't help.

Hi,

You can't downgrade stock after flashing a newer version due to Knox, however you can still flash custom ROMs AFAIK. Just flash CM11 the same way you did before ;).

My g4 m919n origin is metropcs. I can't get the mobile hotspot to work on tmobile, despite changing apn, etc. The apn seems to keep defaulting back to metropcs. So I decided to take advice from member and flash tmo firmware. The selections for android version 4.4.4 is nk2 or nh7....my baseband version is m919nuvufnk3. If I use 4.4.4 nk2 version will that negatively affect phone if I need nk3. I don't see any tmo firmware for 4.4.4 nk3.....or does that even matter? Tia

Well, today I did try to run my phone on CM 11, but problems still appear... As I wrote in my second message in this thread (you didn't read it, I believe), I've managed to fix the modem issue with flashing the latest modem and BL.

So now there are two issues left: random restarts/bootloops when battery charge is below 35% (actually, it varies from time to time, starting with 40%); and another thing I've noticed: when I pull the cable out when charging is complete, most of the times battery icon would jump down from 100% to some point, like 75-95%. I plug the cable again and charging continues.

Might that mean it's a problem with battery?
