M919 Stuck on Booting but loads( Can access download mode) - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I bought this S4 on craigslist and I am and cant get it to completely boot.
It can go into download mode and appears to flash properly but never actually boots into Android. It is on 4.3. It makes it to the Samsung S4 logo but also doesnt boot into recovery.
I tried flashing with Odin and Kies.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Does anyone have a pit file for the M919?

Most likely you are trying to put the phone into recovery the wrong way.
Try this, remove the battery from the phone for 20 seconds and replace
the battery.
Press the Power and the Volume Up key at the same time until you
see tiny neon blue writing on the top left side of the phone's screen.
As soon as you see that let go of both of the phone's buttons and it should
go into recovery mode within 15-20 seconds or less.
You do NOT need to flash any PIT files.
The PIT file is the partition information tables used for partitioning the phone.
If you do find a PIT file and flash it your phone has a excellent chance to transform itself to a very nice shiny brick.
Good luck!

I appreciate the intent but that is the exact same reply word for word to the one that you posted in a similar thread that came up on google when I initially googled the topic.
I am aware of how to get into recovery and that is not the issue which is why I posted that I couldnt get into recovery. This is the second backup s4 not my main s4 which I can get to and from recovery,download, and regular boot and is rooted and unlocked.
I am aware of the purpose of a pit (this isnt the first unix based system I have encountered I run Linux as my daily OS (partitions/fstabs... are not unfamiliar) which is why I didnt ask what the purpose of a PIT file.
The JTAG guy I contacted already had suggested I reflash with a good pit file which is why I asked for the pit file.
I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas outside of the suggestion I already had.

If u cant get into anything and the phone wont power on then, sounds like u got yourselg a nice paperweight, sorry, you may have to get a new phone.
And if that's the case, congratulations! You're the first person I've ever seen brick the Epic. See definition below.
BRICK: RENDER 100% USELESS AND MUST EXCHANGE. THERE ARE NO RECOVERY OPTIONS. YOUR DEVICE LITERALLY BECOMES NOTHING MORE THAN A PRETTY BRICK.
have you tried pulling out the battery, putting it back in and going back into download mode?
I was able to get it going again. i removed the battery and held down the 1 and power button and inserted the battery and the download came back up. hooked to usb and was able to get odin to run and i am know at eb13.

If you can put your phone in download mode you're not bricked.
Use Odin to get back to stock

Are you using the cable that came with the phone? I had the same problem and its because I was using another cable. If Odin isn't working. Kies should work as well. P.m. me if you need more help.

If you are stuck in a bootloop after running the recovery file in odin (it's 1.6 GB unzipped), which is the way things sound, pull the battery and go into stock recovery. Do this by replacing the battery, holding volume up, home, and power button until the ble recovery shows in the upper left then let go. In stock recovery, scroll down 9using volume button) to wipe data/factory reset. Coose that option with the power button. You will lose ALL data on your phone and you will have to go thru setup again. When it's done choose reboot in the menu and let it reboot. Don't freak if it takes a while. In a minute or 2 you will see the screen dim and it will boot. Go thru setup, root again, install custom recovery, and if you were wise enough to have done a backup tp your SD card, you can get it back.
Good luck, there are tutorials on Youtube if you care to search for them. Here's a good one -

Good suggestion :good:
I think the issue is that he's making things more complicated than he needs to.

Op, you're a little confusing.
Are you able to successfully use ODIN and flash stock firmware, but get stuck in a boot loop or freeze on Samsung splash?
Or ODIN fails?
From you're posts it sounds like both issues are occurring, but I think it's a posting conflict, and your issue is one or the other, unless I'm wrong, which I've been before
when i try recovery it goes to boot saying loading recovery than it goes full off and after boot screen again...i tried twrp and still nothing but the good thing is that odin passed that ..the only thing it didnt fail....maybe i didnt have the right rom ...i am downloading the official i9505 rom and i hope it will work this time....but plz if any1 can help i would apriciate it
Odin problem
I am also having a odin problem. I have tried jdownloader2 as well. Everything is giving me an error on extraction. My phone is stuck on the pulsing T-Mobile 4G LTE. Please help...my wife is looking at me like I just wasted money on a useless brick :silly:
Make sure you guys ODIN the correct Stock Firmware for your model device.
Make sure you ODIN the correct Custom Recovery for your model device.
And if you're Rooting, for example with CF-AUTO-ROOT by Chain fire, make sure you ODIN the proper version for your device.
In addition, check your USB cable to ensure it's working properly 100% of the time and have enough battery juice to perform the above procedures.
Odin problem
I have double check all the stock firmware. Got the files from 247extreme.com, given to me by DarkMenace. Several downloads of the same files...nothing seems to pass the MD5 check. The USB cable is 100%.

Go into Stock Recovery
Wipe data and Factory Reset option
Boot
And everything will be good
I had the same happen to me regarding the Android on his back with a Red X.
I had to research to find what this mmeant and what to do.
After ODIN, I would freezeion Samsung splash twice.
Pull battery
Install battery
Press Power and Vol up buttons till you see the upper left hand blue script, andtrelease buttons to get into Recovery.
I went into Stock Recovery and chose the option where it says Factory Reset.
I then Booted Successfully.
Afterwards, I ODIN'd Custom Recovery, TWRP 2.5.0.2

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 soft brick

Hello all! Let me start by saying that i have researched a ton and there is a lot of great information on here. The info I've read however doesn't seem to work for me.
My situation is I spilled a little bit of water on my phone (really not much), but it got inside my phone a little, which was already rooted using auto root. My power button thinks its constantly being pushed (i think). It doesn't bootloop, but as soon as i pop the battery in it turns on, and my phone was unresponsive to me clicking the power button. The rest of the phone was fully functional and i checked with Tmobile and it is still under warrenty (didn't mention the water). They told me to backup the phone which i was able to do in kies with no problem. Then they said do a factory reset, which again I did with no problem. It didn't solve my issue which i kinda knew it wouldn't, so the next step for me was to unroot my phone so i can return it. I popped it in odin, selected the original firmware and it started , then it disconnected by itself. Now the firmware upgrade screen pops up, but i am still able to get it into download mode (for me since the power button is suspect) i just have to hold the home and volume down, pop in the battery and it goes to download mode. The problem is that every time i try to hit start in Odin it gets to the part about the PIT partition and disconnects and says there is no PIT partition. Everywhere i've read says to either use a PIT partition (can't find one for the M919) or that the partition is in the m5 file, which as far as i can tell it is not (at least not it's own file). I've tried downloading the stock firmware from a multitude of different places even Sammobile with no luck and I've also tried different computers, different cables, and all the USB ports available to me.
Can anyone please tell me where to go from here please? I need to get this replaced asap!
Are you asking for a .pit file to repartition? If so, I've attached one for a 16GB SGH-M919 ONLY, dumped from my own SGH-M919 through Heimdall. Download the .zip, unzip it somewhere. In Odin, check repartition, and click PIT and select this file. Hopefully this fixes your problem, but use this at your own risk.

Need Help! S4 Mini LTE Showing White Screen!

Hi All.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini LTE (GT-I9195) which displays a White Screen when powered on.
The only thing that I can see is the SGS4 splash screen at boot and after that the screen turns to White. When I try booting into Recovery Mode, The splash screen pops up saying "RECOVERY BOOTING" and afterwards, the screen turns white. I can, however, boot into download mode which leads me to think that this is a software problem
I have opened up the entire phone and ran an inspection on the parts and they seem to be fine. I have tried flashing the JB software using a guide posted on this forum but it failed as I'm stuck on Bootloader v2 (Curse you Samsung) from the update to KK some time ago which makes it impossible to downgrade the OS.
Another thing to note is that the device responds to touch as I have an assistive light widget and it turns on when I tap the place in which I have it on my homescreen.
The phone is not under warranty anymore as my carrier only has a 1 year warranty for phones purchased from them and I would like to try and fix it myself instead of having to pay a sum of money to get this device working again.
I have spent several hours searching and have basically landed myself back at step 1 - with a non-working device.
I appreciate any and all help provided with this issue and will try and provide more information if needed.
Thanks!
Why don't You try to flash it with 4.4.2?? If You can see splash and nothing after that it's not related with screen but firmware or memory. Boot Your phone in download mode and flash it with Odin to stock 4.4.2. If it doesn't help Your eMMC can be fried. Unfortunately it's common issue in S4 Mini but the first time I've heard about white screen with fried eMMC. Anyway good luck.

Okay, so after getting around to downloading the files for my country (I chose the South Africa (Vodafone)) and trying to flash that, I'm now recieving an error near the end saying invalid ext4 image while flashing some hidden.img (something like that) file. After some googling, I found that I need to Flash a new Partition Information Table (PIT) with the OS because of different file sizes, however, I am unable to find that PIT file. What do I do now?
First try to flash different file. For example choose stock GB without any brand. Sometimes branded flashes are corrupted.

When I will be in my service center today I'll look on server for PIT file. I should have some.

Samsung S6 - G920P Impossible to FIX

I have a very strange problem with this device (g920p), Backstory: i got it with the screen broked so i replaced it. There was no problem until the sound stopped working. I pressed vol - and power button but it never came to life.
What i did / Result:
Hard Reset (wipe cache and data, cache partition). / Same status Softbricked
Installed custom recovery and wiped out caches dalvik. / Still Bricked
Download and installed stock ROMS: CPD2, CPB6 (6.0.1) / After the odin procedure, it reboots and then it updates system, later says "optimizing apps" and when finish the phone stucks at "Starting Apps" (for hours) and it never starts. If i reboot it, after the samsung logo it just shows blue light blinking but the screen stays black.
I have downgraded to almost all 5.1.1 ROMS / Same result as above.
I have installed almost all ROMS after wipes (with stock recovery and custom) / no sucess.
I have tried to recover it with Smart Swich but i cant get the s/n, barcodes only shows MEID but no serial.
I have left the battery die then i do all the previuos trys with no sucess, i can just get to "Android is Upgrading - starting apps" screen.
I have tried installing custom kernels after rom installs / NO luck.
Safemode does nothing.
Any clues to get my s6 back to life?

You need to make sure you are flashing the proper stuff. You can't just go throwing random sh*t at it.
This is the proper PIT for your device: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762636008230
If you were to look through the thread, specifically the general section, as I mentioned, you would have found it
Flash the PIT file by selecting "PIT" inside odin and NOTHING else. Then reboot and flash the stock tar.

Thanks a lot, i did look for it and found the other one. After flashing the PIT i flashed the .tar (CPB6) and the result was the same, blackscreen with blue light dimming intermitent. This time the "optimizing apps screen" didnt show up. i havent touched the device yet, im waiting for the optimization screen to show up. Im waiting 30min if it doesnt works im gonna reboot the device and do the wipes and reboot.

Let it die completely. Once it dies attempt to boot into download mode until it wont anymore (completely dead), charge to about 15%, reboot. Should be fixed. If not retry. What happened I think is the minute reboot with no signal/baseband/imei etc., except you flashed a rom or something to try to fix it so now it appears to bootloop but really is doing the same minute automatic reboot no signal issue. I had same happen to me when i flashed a rom trying to fix it, it "bootlooped", but being the first boot taking the standard additional time it never made it to the full boot up, until letting it die, then all was good. Nothing else is needed except complete drain of battery

Thank you im gonna try this for sure. I have worked all day long with this device. and i am not giving up until it totally die or work.
UPDATE (Battery not drained yet):
I realized about some things when i flash the stock rom, after odin finish the phone shows a screen that says "updating system" a progress bar loads but only reaches to 32% then says Erasing and reboots, then just hangs at "starting apps" screen.
Same result as previous ones. Stucked at "Starting Apps". After the flash .pit file, i flash the .tar, then when finish the devices reboots and the screen shows a progress bar that reads "Installing system update" but it only reaches to 32%.
That is odd. Did the sound ever come back? Maybe it has something to do with the hardware fix. Wherever you got the replacement from were there any reviews that may indicate others having similar issues or contacting whoever u got it from? If the sound stopped working and then you reset it and etc and now its not booting fully up maybe it does some type of hardware check and reboots if and when it fails.. idk truthfully, if it were me Id go back to looking at the screen replacement
i'll try doing all the previous steps but with the original screen. i'll update the post ASAP
My g920p got exactly the same problem. It die for 2 weeks. I try every thing i can but it can't get out of "starting apps". So i place it in my desk until today i boot it up and actually, it start. Still have no sound, but when it check for update and i press update now, the "starting apps" loop show up. Have you fixed your phone yet?
Sorry for my bad English.
It looks like you really did a number on it!
Good Luck!

Had same problems with my G920P and nobody even replied to my cry for help....thanks guys! No really,without help i had to learn the hard way. Anyways, I flashed the Pit file then flashed a boot file, then a modem file, then last but not least the complete Home tar. Let me know if this works for you. According to my G920P it took me 48 days, and very long nights to get it back up and running. Hard bricked a Galaxy S7 in the process........next project i guess!

Having trouble uploading those files to you but i will get them out tonight. By the way, theyre PI3 files. i was on PB6 but the only thing that worked was to bump up a couple versions.
