I recently updated my Rooted GS4 to 4.3
I started by downloading the sofftware then when i went to install it, it brought me to Clockwork recovery saying that what i was trying to install was unknown or something but i knew it was the firmware so i accepted it. It all went through installing and was booting up but stayed at the Yellow Sprint screen. for a long time
I read multiple forums looking for what to do, i reset it first by taking out the battery(over 5 times), then i tried it without the sim or sd in. Nothing. I tried wiping the data and cache from CWR still yellow screen. i am about to try restoring it to the stock rom (currently downloading it) but before i wanted to come here for help on how to do it or anything else i can possibily do.
Please help. :crying:
Hey guys, I just f***ed my phone up.
This is what happened
First of all, I'm sorry for my bad english, as I'm not a native speaker
I'm using Archi Droid v3.0.2, while playing a game my phone suddenly rebooted, I thought it was just overheated, but I got a bootloop, I tried to wipe cache & dalvik, reboot my phone... bootloop. I made it to the lockscreen though, but after 5 seconds it will reboot again. I'm wiping my phone through Philz & clean install the Archi Droid ROM, aanndd, still, bootloop. So I tried to restore my Lollipop backup (I downgraded my device to Kitkat because Lollipop is not as sweet as Xposed & A.D. ) and ... I can boot, BUT I CAN'T connect to the Internet, everytime my phone got "H+" signal on the top of the screen, the screen will flicker and signal will be lost (over and over). I can still make calls & sms though (if i turned the mobile data off). Then I tried to factory reset my Lollipop, and at first boot, it says "Installing Apps (or something) ... of 98" I thought it wouldn't install or upgrade any apps after factory reset. THEN I got bootloop again. I gave up, flashed stock firmware via Odin, succeeded. Going through setup & realized I still got this network problem, so i factory reset my stock 4.3 rom & after it finished... Planning to setup my phone and after 10 seconds I got bootloop again. I got a feeling (my feeling sucks) that this is a partition problem. So I tried to flash .pit file with samsung 4.3 stock firmware, and I'm stuck at "NAND WRITE START!!" in Odin. After praying for 1 hour I decided to remove the battery and disconnect my phone from the PC. Now everytime I flash something via odin, it will always stuck at "NAND WRITE START!!"
I want to try this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-pit-bricked-dead-problem-gt-t2535367) though, but I'm afraid to mess my phone up even more.
Now I'm unable to flash ANYTHING into my phone, I need some (a lot of) help here. I'm going to university and asking for a new phone will get me into trouble (they will give me a $10 phone for sure). Thanks in advance

Fixed the problem by using this, Rescue Firmware . Flashed 4.3 rescue firmware with pit file, it worked.
The battery caused boot loop on my phone, guess it's solved then
I had the fabric format Android (4.2.2) and my friend helped me to upgrade to Cyanogenmod by using TWRP. It didn't work so we kept it in the lastest official 4.2.2 from Samsung. After a pair of days of working perfectly, I woke up and my phone was in the "Samsung" loading screen. I kept it for a couple of minutes and nothing happened, so I pulled out the battery and put it in again, same thing happened. Tried again, then it started normally and worked fine for a few seconds, until it froze, so I repeated the battery thing. Samsung loading screen a pair of times, then it loaded again, froze... And it kept doing that
Then I tried to format it with TWRP, but the OS was deleted too (guess I selected the wrong choice?) and it's not loading anymore.
Today I've been trying to re install the firmware via Odin with a friend, but it keeps failing at the system.img file and the error is not very descriptive...

Also, sorry for the repost, nobody replied in the last one, so I just copied the message. I hope you can help me, please :/ Is it hard bricked? Should I just forget about it and get another phone? Or is there any way to install another OS?
Ok, first up I know there are many posts out there about this issue because I've looked at most of them and tried them so please bear with me.
I have a Samsung Galaxy GT-N8010, about 4 years old. I have never rooted or done anything to the firmware in all that time except OTA updates & the occasional factory reset to clean things up.
Couple of months ago it was on, i had been using it and put it down and when i came back it was on the Samsung logo screen and has been ever since.
Since i could get into the download page even though it was already bricked I figured i'd try rooting to see if i could fix the problem. Now possibly i should have attempted to get into recovery mode first but I attempted to install CWM (as per posts here). It appeared to install fine. But no recovery partition, screen blinks and goes back to the logo.
I've tried flashing stock firmware, TWRP, CWM - all 'appear' to install successfully according to ODIN, but nothing changes, still stuck on the logo screen.
So does this sound like a hardware issue or am i missing something? The Tab A 10.1 with s-pen looks great, would be a perfect replacement, but is not available in NL
Thanks guys (& gals)
