Help GALAXY S5 IS STUCK IN UNREPAIRABLE BOOT LOOP

Yes! Right! When I tried to flash twrp the set warranty bit was recovery!
So you say to just get in kies and follow the Normal procedure, not the emergency one right? And at some point it will ask to put the phone in download mode and attach the USB cable?
 
Mmm...john were you on kitkat when it happened? And kies put lollipop?

Clonier, have you formatted every partition and Flashed the cm12 yet?

No i was in a version of lolipop which i bricked and then restored the official fw with this way did you try it?
 
I don't have the phone in my greedy hands because it is returning from a repair center who didn't manage to do anything about it. But I'll get it asap once it arrive to my girlfriend.
The cm12 seemed to me the only solution as it is Samsung bloatware free.
It happened one month after lollipop official ota. Phone never touched in anyway because my girlfriend doesn't even know what root Or rom means
 
Shit. If it's also with cm12 with its custom kernel and system, then I don't know any solution. Some portion of the nand is the culprit for sure, not sure wich. Tried Cm11 with kitkat bootloader?
It cannot be a defective hardware because recovery is booting
 
With twrp file manager you could replace the file from sd to internal storage, or I'm wrong?
From recovery is not possible to push files in internal memory with adb?
 
O.o still Bootloops with a custom rom and kernel?
Does it get stuck on cyanogenmod boot animation or what?
Did the recovery see the external sd?

Still Boot loop or i think its a dead boot loader.
It gets stuck on cyanogenmod boot animation once max twice. afterwards it gets to samsung logo and thats where boot loop occurs.
And yes recovery saw external sd.

I swear its getting extremely annoying.
If nothing can fix it then what can?
 
There shouldn't be any Samsung logo after cyanogenmod boot animation. Does It show after it?
A dead bootloader would result In the impossibility to go into download mode or recovery. There should be something else

Actually Samsung galaxy s5 powered by android appears with two lines above saying set warranty : recovery and recovery seanforcing.......

Then it goes to cm12 for like two boot loops then it goes back to samsung galaxy s5 powered by android. then off , then on the same thing, then off and so on.
 
Got it.
I have no idea of what happened. There should be some hidden security partition gone crazy. Did you open a xda thread?

I haven't opened a thread in XDA and I think what u mean by security partition gone crazy u mean knox right?
 
Yes Knox has hidden partitions, not accessible. Some are hidden but accessible with root. One of them should have gone crazy but I don't know how to restore it :/
