Hi guys,
I have a galaxy S4, I9505 bought from Singapore. I accidentally did a factory reset on my phone. Everything was lost. As I wanted to get back my lost contacts, I bought this data recovery software called mobisaver from easeUS.
In order for the mobisaver software to work, I had to root my phone. As I am a novice to this, I asked the customer service how to root my s4 and they asked me to download Kingo root and use it.
So I downloaded kingo root and used it to root my phone. It showed success on the Kingo root software. But my s4 is now stuck in boot loop. Damn! So i googled and tried my best how to solve it myself. I can go into recovery mode, I cleared cache, did factory reset again, but still stuck in boot loop.
I can go into download mode. I downloaded Kies, but kies gave me this error "GT-I9505 does not support initializing kies".
I read that I must use Odin but if I used the wrong firmware then my phone could get bricked. And I am a complete novice at this. Some guys from a local forum suggested asking xdadevelopers for help. So here I am. I only wanted to root my phone because it was a requirement for the data recovery software to work. And now I am stuck!
Please help me save my s4! Thank you very much!!!

Hey, guys good afternoon. I have a Cubot Note S which I manage quite stupidly, to brick. The phone was rooted with KingRoot and I accidentally press to update to the latest software version from the Update Center of the phone and before it managed to complete, it showed an "ERROR" message. After that, I stuck into a boot loop. I've been searching the internet for a stock firmware of the phone in a .zip file because the Cubot has something like a stock Recovery mode, which I can boot to, to factory reset my phone, to boot into bootloader or apply an update through an sdcard etc. So far I only found a rom on needrom and it is in .rar and has many other irrelevant files in it. It has instructions below how to perform a clean flash of the ROM, but something goes wrong at the process. Either the SP-DMT (Flash Tool) doesn't work properly or my computer doesn't recognize my phone and I can't find the proper drivers for it. Has anyone ever been in this situation before with a chinese phone? Please help out with this because the cell phone belongs to a dear friend of mine and I can't afford to buy a new one these days. Thank you in advance.

Hello guys,
A few months ago, I rooted my phone using kingroot. After a few weeks, i tried to install TWRP custom recover to unlock bootloader. I accidently downloaded a wrong version of it and flashed it using flashify app, after which i booted into recovery to check the new recover mode. But, something awkward happened. THE BOOT MODE DIDN'T OPEN AND THE SCREEN GOT STUCK AT "Booting into recovery". I read on the internet and realised that my device has got soft-bricked. Also, phone wasn't rebooting. So, i found a solution atleast start my phone. I took out my battery, pressed the buttons for download mode and then placed the battery back in and pressed the buttons for download mode and somewhow rebooted my phone (i read about this technique in xda forums). Now, although my phone works but i cannot access the recovery mode as it has got soft-bricked. Thus, i cannot perform a hard reset as it gets caught in that "recovery booting stuck cycle". So, can anyone tell me how to fix this? PLS QUICKLY. aLSO, i don't know much about ADB, so pls explain that too as my friend suggested me to use ADB to fix softbrick but im not sure!!

Hello all,
This is the first time I attempt to root my andriod phone, in this case S2.
I have read through the steps and downloaded all the relevant software, rom etc but just I got stuck on the very 1st step.
I went into recovery mode and install "GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9" through Odin 3.12.3. It says successful however my phone boot up with a yellow triangle and just blank off. When connected to pc, I can access the files and folder but the screen on the phone is always black. I tried flashing a few more time and it is always the same.
I can't even root my phone using "KingoRoot" let alone upgrade an custom ROM.
Please advise.
