So I made the stupid mistake of forgetting to unroot before trying to flash the OTA and ended up soft bricked. I followed the instructions in the OP and everything seemed to go good but when my phone reboots I get the Samsung splash with the little unlocked symbol and then all I get is a black screen and the notification LED is blue and pulsating bright/dim. Phone is completely unresponsive and have to pull the battery to even reboot. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Below is my Odin log.

Have you tried a factory reset in stock recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] coitus:
My first post here so please be gentle

I'm pretty much an Ace at research but this is a question I have cannot find an answer to.... I have a soft brick S4 SCH i545 and the only thing she'll do is boot into download mode so my quandary is I don't know what build number I'm working on is there is there a way to cross reference the build number with the serial number or some other number in The Battery compartment that I can get to? Thank you kindly for any help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
When the S4 is in download mode, there's usually (though way small) the firmware version stated at the very to of the screen. I think it's red letters but, I can't remember.

I found that when the device reflects this issue, it usually means that the firmware flash didn't install correctly or at all (with errors) and the device isn't able to boot up correctly.

Grab the firmware information and re-flash that version with the appropriate PIT file.

This is my opinion but, if someone else has any additional information, then please post it so i can take note of it too.

Earning my Spurs

So this Galaxy S4 that's led me to post here I was trying to flash it got interrupted and now neither Kies nor Odin sees the phone although my Galaxy on5 is readily seen by both so it's not a cord problem it's not a software problem it's something to do with the phone my question is is there a way to wipe it in flash it or is there a way to force flush it even if those two software tools do not see it

I continue to appreciate and value any any advice or direction whatsoever

---------- Post added at 06:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 AM ----------

I also wonder if one of you experienced people can tell me is there a way to enable or disable the USB debugging on the phone won't boot up that's possiblya problem if it's on or off but I have no way of knowing so that seems like a variable in the equation thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bg260:
Does the device still boot into download mode? If so there may be hope. Check your device manager in Windows to see if it shows up there. You may have a driver issue.

You don't need to have ADB debugging enable in download mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] coitus:
Well yes it does go into download mode but as I stated above neither Kies nor Odin sees the S4 but they both see my Galaxy on5 so I don't think k it's a driver issue or USB cord issue. And really good to know about the USB debugging in download mode cuz I was worried about that

Thanks!!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bg260:
What is device manager telling you? Does the device charge?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] coitus:
??

Forgive my being dull-witted I'm not quite sure what you mean by device manager if you mean on the phone I can't it doesn't boot up so there's nothing to tell me oddly enough it does charge batteries I've been using it to charge batteries for my other Galaxy phone so if I plug it in to charge it doesn't show the little battery thing going up and down but none-the-less does charge the battery ..... So I have download mode battery charges and a little yellow triangle of death if I try to go into recovery .

Not really to judge but I see people screaming and all these sites you Lord help me with my phone Lord help me right away this is at this point in time this is just an intellectual exercise I'm tenacious and I will not give up until this phone works so I just thought I would interject that (if one insist on tinkering around with these things one better have a backup phone, make that two backup phones, handy ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bg260:
On your Windows machine got to Start Menu > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Device Manager. Tell me if you see any question marks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] coitus:
The fact that I have methodically eschewed Windows for the last 10 years, since 'discovering' Linux, is showing beneath my skirt. I see one unidentified device, however, it is still there when I have unplugged the i545. So, it looks like to my untrained eye that it is not seen. Are you suspecting driver issues? I'm near deleting the one Windows 7 install I have since discovering Forget Windows Use Linux, if it were not for the fact that the later exists only in the form of a non-persistent usb iso. I am going to figure out now what the unidentified device is, to rule it out, or not. As always, you've little idea how much I appreciate your help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] coitus:
Is JTAG possible answer for me??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bg260:
OK, upload the file below and run it without the device attached (32 and 64 bit included). This is the tricky part...uninstall all drivers that are not currently being used or that you don't recognize. Attach the device via usb and see if the drivers reload.

No, the device is still responding and JTAG would cost more than twice the value of it.

P.S. Sorry for my late reply.

why would someone even download this if chrome and uc browser don't work those are two good browsers i use on a daily basis
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] commodore65:
is there anyway of unlocking the kaiser when the keyboard is slid open. Why would you slide the keyboard open unless you were going use so it seems silly to keep it locked. Anyone got a fix
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xmoo:
Slide to unlock!

There are some applications that do this. Don't know if there is any for the Kaiser.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] johanromijn:
Unlock the Kaiser when the keyboard is slid open???

Can you explain what you mean?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xmoo:
Just Like the Slide phones.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] commodore65:
The phone is locked i slide open the keyboard and it unlocks automatically rather than clicking unlock on screen. The reason i want to do this is i find it difficult to find the unlock key on screen as the screen is so dull until unlocked. So i want to slide it open slightly to unlock the phone and then slide it back and the phone is unlocked and goes back to portrait mode.

Even more preferable would be say to slide the phone half open and it would unlock the phone and the display mode would stay portaitb i.e. the display would only change to portrait when keyboard is fully out. I guess that would be much harder.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dan13l:
I too was thinking that this would be pretty cool. The phone already wakes up on slide, so it if unlocked itself too that would be superb.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kms108:
using a registry program and goto

hklm/hardware/devicemap/keybd and create a new dword SlideWakeUp

0 = wakeup

1 = stay lock

update: wrong info, this is only for wakeup, it will not unlock.

kms
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cheese74:
I agree this would be a cool app to have. Hopefully someone can integrate it with one of those locking apps out there, i.e. S2U etc...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] halftone:
Did anyone work this out ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] yakleback55:
just put it to sleep without locking it then when it wakes up it wont be locked. its not what you want but it works the phone is still unlocked when it wakes
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zakiwashi:
when i purchased my handset, sim free, from htc this feature came as default but i found it a nuisance. say you have your phone in your pocket, you place your hand in there and nudge the handset, it opens ever so slightly and it is unlocked. you then, unwittingly, call people in your contacts list and end up having changed the clock! slide 2 unlock is a fantastically versatile piece of software and keeps this from happening. plus you can operate the software slider even if you have fingers like hotdogs!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] KewlRobD:
I know this thread is a bit old at this point but just in case anyone else stumbles up on this as i did I thought I would correct this post.

KMS had this backwards:

0 = stay lock

1 = wakup

Also when creating the dword select decimal. Not usre if that makes a difference or not but that's what I did and it worked for me. In my case I was actually looking to turn this off since my phone case has a magnet that would make the phone think the keyboard was opened as I put the phone away.

There is no need of protect_f and s they are not important partitions as my android one also have them but I don't add. Secro is already their its sub partition of nvram so its not showing it backup list but notice the log its also backing up secro at last.

Flickering screen

Hi,

I just flashed TWRP (first time) and I have in interesting problem. I can only see whats on the screen for a fraction of a second when it goes off. Otherwise the screen remains black. ADB confirms the phone is in recovery and from what I could make out it is indeed running TWRP.

Any idea how to debug this behavior?

EDIT: I should mention that in Android the screen works fine (as does the boot animation) but there is nothing on the screen before that (no logo during bootloader/fastboot or boot logo, not sure if there is supposed to be one)

EDIT2: It's a sharp R63315 with black tp and I just realized there should be a bunny in fastboot mode... there is only darkness ^^
