Okay, so I'm resetting it back to stock firmware through Odin as we speak. And yes, I had an SD card and have already taken it out and left it out and reset but still the problem has persisted, I will definitely try the solution you just mentioned, here I go. And thank you for replying...

Edit:

Hold on, which do you want me to try first? kias3(can you please link it if possible) with emergency firmware recovery tool? OR the Unified Android Toolkit?

Also... I don't exactly know how to use the toolkit, can you verify the steps to take to use the toolkit properly if I should use this solution? I'm sorry but I'm not very advanced at Android development, just intermediately experienced I suppose...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] beachbum40:
Try kies first that dont work try toolkit. Just Google how to use the toolkit it's pretty self explanatory but I don't think you'll need to use the tool kit anyways. http://www.sammobile.com/kies/

HOW TO USE RECOVERY TOOL IN KIES

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ahmed12534:
okay, I tried resetting it using Kies3 but the device was not recognized so I had to find a different way because the guide on how to use Kies advised using Odin if Kies didn't recognize your phone. I don't have a code either, So I tried reflashing the stock firmware through Odin and it started up, froze and went into what I presume to be a bootloop as it is stuck on the T-Mobile splash screen with the notification light pulsing continuously. Did I also mention where my phone says Knox warranty void 0x1 there is another statement that says "Counter: 4" or something like that, while I am in download mode, does this have any significance? but yeah, other that Kies and Odin, I'm not sure if the android toolkit will help, because it's basically doing that same thing as I am with Odin, just more automated... Or am I wrong?

but as far as I know, that toolkit is literally the last option I have left, I guess I'll be trying that out tomorrow, with option 10 I believe where it says "10. Download, Extract + Flash Stock Firmware via Odin" but I'm not sure what ADB mode means... I can't really boot up the device so I don't know if that applies

Also, on a side note, how much do you think this will cost if I were to send the phone to Samsung and pay for repairs out of pocket, and do you think they could even repair it at all?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ahmed12534:
You know what... Do you think if I somehow installed CM12 on the device that the problem would fix itself? Because to me it seems like it's the Samsung software itself that is causing all this trouble along with a few Google apps. Now how would I root it and flash CM12 if it won't boot up fully...

Not sure if this would brick my phone either, let me know if it would if I tried to root through Odin and try to install CM12 through CWM recovery or something

Just throwing ideas, hoping this thread doesn't die before my problem is solved :confused:

Also, does geeksquad repair Samsung phones one time for a low fee if you've voided warranty?? If so then this could possibly be my final solution.

Also Never EVER buying a Samsung device again, they just aren't what they used to be back in the day, the other OEMs have caught up and left Samsung and their revenue in the dust...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gspears:
I disagree with this completely. Very few other handsets can hold a candle to the S5 or the Note 4. I don't know of anybody that has the problems you are describing with their phones without a hardware issue of some type or bad app. The Samsung software runs perfectly on millions of devices without the issues you're having. Therefore it's probably a bad app you've gotten a hold of, or you have a bad phone. CM12 will only introduce more issues and probably won't solve anything.

A stripped down custom rom might be a good bet because you can then start adding your apps back to find out where the issue is, or if it still has the same issues then it almost guarantees that there is some kind of a hardware issue.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedGoblinz:
I recently upgraded to the Nexus 5 two weeks ago, before this I was using a nexus 4.

When I first set up the custom ROM on the N5 (I don't think I bothered setting up the stock Lollipop, this may be a cause), the only options shown at the Restore page was from my Nexus 4 on the google servers.

The problem is, even after 2 weeks, setting up a new ROM only shows the Nexus 4, it looks like the Nexus 5 isn't backing up to the google servers (WiFi passwords and user dictionary etc), what's wrong?

My theory is that the backup only worked on the stock Lollipop ROM because if I remember clearly, when i stopped using stock on the N4, the backups never updated.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upndwn4par:
Could be the gapps package you flashed with the ROM. Try a newer or different one.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedGoblinz:
Yeah thanks! Thought of that just before you replied haha. Will report back.

Mentioned in pa gapps thread, someone said it wasn't a gapps issue so, I'm not sure. Looks like BaNks has an issue with this too.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] varxtis:
A while back i used to "try" to root stuff. I sucked at it BAD. Anyway, I have a Galaxy Note 8.0 (GT-N5110) that I had rooted to a certain point (very superficial) and I just kept it the way it was, that way I could use Multi-window for any app. This morning I unplug my tab from the charger only to be disappointed that it will not turn on. Ive tried different power outlets, different cables, different base chargers, even the whole "power+vol_up+home" thing... nothing. I never updated the tab when Kitkat came through the pipeline. Im freaking out that a new major update automatically happened overnight or something. Im sorry to trouble you all, but does anyone have suggestions? Since it's rooted I can't take it to Samsung or Best Buy. Honestly if I could just get it back to stock, that would be awesome, but im more concerned about getting it to simply turn on. Any Ideas?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] User_99:
If your device is rooted you won't get an OTA update so that could not be the problem. You can try to unplug battery (mus open the device)"and see what happened. Maybe your battery is faulty or someting else.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] varxtis:
K... I appreciate it :) Ill take a look. But, lets say I actually open it (without making things worse), how do I determine if the battery is in fact faulty? If it is, can I get a replacement? preferably an official samsung one.

EDIT:

Scratch that. Sry, Im just always scared of doin stuff, so I always feel like I have to ask the question, but I'll look it up. Im confident at least this should be easy enough for me to do :) Thank you again.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] User_99:
The problem with this device is you cannot pull out the battery easily. Maybe after that steps it boots up again.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] varxtis:
Battery removal wasn't bad... now I'm just waiting for a new one (ordered on ebay, crossing fingers hoping it was legit). What did you mean "after that steps it boots up agin."? Will the tablet boot up without the battery if it's plugged in or something?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Mr.201:
Wow, that suck. sorry for you man. For now, try to plug the tablet to a computer and while device manager opened and see if there is change. If the change say "qhsusb" or something along that line and not your model number . . . changing battery wont do anything because it's already hard bricked. if not, finger cross. :(
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] User_99:
No. But sometimes after this step and reconnecting the battery the device boots up. Also a battery calibration is done.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] varxtis:
I tried plugging in the tablet to the computer with the old battery and then without any battery. Neither one prompted anything in the device manager. Today I got the new battery (assuming its legit and in good condition) in the mail. I plugged it in, and nothing. Plugged the tablet with the new battery to the wall charger, nothing. Plugged the tablet with the new battery to the computer while running device manager, nothing.

I'm going assume that the new battery is dead and let it stay connected to the wall charger for 8+ hrs, and see if there are any changes.

I just really don't understand what the deal is and why this would randomly happen. Ive never had problems with the firmware or anything. I have felt like there was an issue with the battery being that it doesn't seem to be keeping much of a charge... but for it to just Hard Brick like this seems so out of the blue. Can anyone provide me with additional suggestions please?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] varxtis:
Maybe I'll ask it this way...

Is there any way to test if the batteries are food? That way I can at least determine if the tablet is in fact hard bricked or just bad batteries.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] rtiangha:
Might not be what you want to hear, but if different cables, chargers and batteries don't work, then maybe there was a power surge overnight while the device was plugged into the wall that took out the device (I once lost a computer that way and now I only use surge suppressors (note that not all power bars are proper surge protectors! See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_protector ) that are UL 1449 certified with a low clamping voltage and high energy absorption rating as a minimum; the fancier ones can even tell you if your wall outlet has a grounding problem). Or your tablet's USB port is broken, but that doesn't make sense based on what you've said thus far. Or you're just super-unlucky and all of your replacement parts are also faulty (it could happen). Either way, I've got my fingers crossed for you!

In the meantime, a multimeter would be able to tell if the batteries hold a charge, and whether or not power flows to the device when the battery is attached or the device is plugged into the wall or computer.

Just make sure you read up on how to use one first so you don't accidentally electrocute yourself:

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] varxtis:
Ill definitely be looking into this option in depth tomorrow, and deeply appreciate it. At least it's something. T_T I don't want my tablet going to electro grave. This sucks so bad. This has been a month from hell

First my printer decides its time to start printing crooked over a couple of months, getting so bad that it jams up a few weeks ago, requiring me to get a new printer, which has been a fiasco in and of itself that still hasnt been resolved. Ive gone through 4 printers in one week, all of them different model printers, all from HP, and each and every one of them defective.

Then my laptops video card tweaks out because of installing Splashtop Stream, which starts a domino effect requiring me to do a factory reset on the laptop.

Then my Tablet just decides to kill over.

Then my Microsoft Arc mouse decides it doesn't the want to wheel to work requiring me to purchase a new one, and when I receive it, the cover for the battery compartment is missing and the wheel click is defective. It took 2 and a half weeks to resolve

Then I get bronchitis.

all in less than a month.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] varxtis:
Alright, ya... it's dead. Oh well. Here's me trying to make the most of it: are there any places that buy bricked tabs? I figure the parts have to have some sort of salvage value.... maybe.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] misternagoya:
You can't go to a Samsung service shop? They might not fix it under warranty, but I assume they'll have a look at it and give you an estimation? I feel for you, we all have had these awful weeks... I soft bricked my pad, my computer started to play up, my other computer decided it wanted to die after years of hard work and not skipping a beat, my son got the flu, the missus was on her monthly(grumpy wife..take cover), and when I took a break from it all on the toilet I found that we had run out of paper! To make matters worse, my favorite football team lost from a second division team.. This all happened in one single day! So chin up, it might take a week, but when all it's fixed again you'll experience deep appreciation for the things you have taken for granted.... (xda fixed my tablet, time fixed my wife)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] varxtis:
Sry for delayed response.

Im very very doubtful that Samsung will help. I have two more... ideas, before I go to Samsung. Non-invasive of coarse, wouldn't want to make matters worse.

K, So first off I took the tablet with extra battery to a tech place in the area that said the batteries are fine, but when they put a multimeter to the motherboard nothing came back. Basically its dead according to them. There's one more shop in the area I want to get a second opinion from. Next, does anyone know anything about an app called "Splashtop Stream"? I'm a fond user of Splashtop to control/view my computer straight my tablet, but when I installed "Splashtop Stream" to use the tablet as an extended screen (not just a cloned second screen), my tablet and both computers I tried it with did NOT like it. I immediately uninstalled it, but it dawned on me that it was just a matter of days later that my Tablet died. I hate to grasp at straws, but if an app like that is too resource intensive, I'm okay with seeing a connection that it fried my tablet. I can't just ask Splashtop "Hey, does your app fry motherboards", so I need a way of researching legitimate known problems. I can't afford a $400 tablet right now.

The reason why I'm using Samsung as a last resort is because it's outside my warranty time, and the moment they know that I did even the simple fast-mod on it, they'll slap it down and won't help. There no custom boot or Roms on it.

With all this said, any suggestions anyone?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] varxtis:
O_O That does suck!! Sry man.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] bradipovsky:
I randomly bumped here and I'm no expert, but if your tablet's motherboard is indeed dead, I believe there is absolutely no way they can tell that the device got rooted at some point. You did not "hard brick" it, that's a whole other thing, or at least so I've learned in my not-very-long experience. "Hard brick" should be the result of flashing a kernel made some other device, which definitely is not your case. Moreover, that does not kill the motherboard, it just makes anything unbootable: it's a software problem, so it can actually be detected. You had a hardware failure that most likely completely wiped any proof that you have ever modified your device, so the only problem that you might have, I think, is them telling you that they take no responsibility for what your power outlet has done to the device, but they shouldn't be able to detect any modification that you have made. In my opinion technical support is worth trying.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] varxtis:
Awesome!! Thank you so much!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] bradipovsky:
You're welcome, good luck!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] varxtis:
Just thought Id let everyone know that I managed to get Samsung to compromise on the matter since the Tablet is only 5 months past warranty (1yr 5mnths since purchase). So, not much longer and hopefully Ill have a tablet that works yet again.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jiannist:
Introduction

I was using the S Health app on my Galaxy S5 LTE+, which included stress measurement. Suddenly, this feature disappeared. I looked at the app's changelog, and saw that since November, certain features were made unavailable for certain countries. So I looked up the S Health code and came up with my first Xposed module, which enables these features.

Features

Enable stress measurement, which is disabled in the following countries: AO, ZA, GB, FR, AT, HU, CZ, GR, SI, DZ, TH, CA, CY, JP.

Enable SpO2 measurement, which is disabled in the following countries: AO, ZA, CN, FR, SK, DZ, IR, LY, TH, JP, KR, WW.

Enable blood pressure measurement, which is disabled in the following countries: AO, GB, IE, FR, NL, BE, LU, AT, SK, GR, CY, SI, DZ, IR, CA, KR, WW.

Enable blood glucose measurement, which is disabled in the following countries: AO, GB, IE, FR, NL, BE, LU, AT, SK, GR, CY, SI, DZ, IR, CA, KR, WW.

For more information about the country codes, look at http://www.geonames.org/countries/.

Note that your phone must have the corresponding sensor for a feature to work.

Screenshots

This is my S Health app before and after installation of the module. Note that only the Stress feature got enabled, because the S5 does not have SpO2, blood pressure or blood glucose sensors:

No module

Using module

Compatibility

I have only tested the module on my Galaxy S5 LTE+ (G901F), but it should work in all Samsung phones with S Health versions 3.5.1.0693 and 3.5.5.0036 .

Compatible with Android 4.2.2+.

Usage

Install module

Enable module in Xposed installer

Module does not install on galaxy s3 latest stock rom
[Xposed Framework Modules] jiannist:
What android version is your rom? The module is compiled with API 19 (version 4.4.2+). Do you have any blood pressure/glucose, SpO2 or heart rate sensor? Because without any of these sensors, the module will do nothing.
[Xposed Framework Modules] disthomuc:
Ok i have 4.3.this explains install issues.would be nice to have it also on older roms. So far i have no devices.so no more testing i can offer
[Xposed Framework Modules] jiannist:
Is there a way to connect sensors to older phones? If yes, I could compile it for older roms.
[Xposed Framework Modules] disthomuc:
Yes there are devices unfortunately don't have any

[Xposed Framework Modules] ariefabuzaky:
I dont know but i think note 4 get it cz its latest flagship from Samsung
[Xposed Framework Modules] jiannist:
After a quick search I found you have to buy external devices, like galaxy gear, that have these sensors. The note 4 does only have heart rate, uv and SpO2 sensors.

[MENTION=1672186]jiannist[/MENTION] could you create an app that allow export data from sHealth ? (i do donations :) ) i don't find the data file (they hidded it ?) and in kies i can't backup it ? they secure the app ...
[Xposed Framework Modules] NakedFaerie:
I got S5 4.4.2 and this adds nothing for me. Im after the blood pressure and UV but they dont show up.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jiannist:
The S5 does not have blood pressure and UV sensors. You'll have to use external devices. Read the module description: "Note that your phone must have the corresponding sensor for a feature to work."
[Xposed Framework Modules] NakedFaerie:
S-Health HAD Blood Pressure and they removed it. I had to manually put it on just like Weight but after 12 months of stats its all gone. I want to keep all my stats in the one app and thats the only thing missing.

And isn't the UV sensors just the camera sensors?
[Xposed Framework Modules] jiannist:
My S5 did never have blood pressure. If it HAD, as you suggested, there would be an "export data" dialog, the first time you opened the app after updating, like they did with stress. It simply does not have such a sensor. And UV is not measured using the camera, it is a different sensor, only found at the front of the Note 4.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Crescendo Xenomorph:
Could you please also enable Cigna Coach? Its disabled on Note 3....
[Xposed Framework Modules] jiannist:
I am going to look at it in the next days.
[Xposed Framework Modules] NakedFaerie:
I never said the S5 had Blood Pressure, the S4 did before they removed it about a year ago. I have to use other apps now to monitor it.

They also removed blood glucose and a few other features. I think there was 4 lost with that update about a year ago.
[Xposed Framework Modules] dtunney:
FYI the stress and spO2 are blocked in IE (ireland) as well
[Xposed Framework Modules] Crescendo Xenomorph:
Any news on the development bro? :D
[Xposed Framework Modules] jiannist:
It will be implemented very soon.
[Xposed Framework Modules] compunerd3:
The stress and O2 work for me in Ireland without this
[Xposed Framework Modules] jiannist:
Yes, the country code for Ireland is IE. IE is not included in the countries, where Stress and SpO2 does not work, as you can see in the OP, so they should work without my module.
