Flash a custom recovery like CWM and try with that.
If it still doesn't work then format your cache partition using CWM, that should fix it.

Did you try to flash an official stock rom for DBT (MDM) through pc odin ?After flashing go to stock recovery, first do factory reset and then wipe cache.

If after wiping cache, your phone reboots, then its "normal".Same happens with my s4 and my nexus 4.
In order to change CSC, in now days you must be root.Sorry for misunderstanding,but your phone is under BTU or DBT?
If you are rooted try the application https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tYW5uaWFray5jc2NzZWxlY3RvciJd
,tick the box (root enabling) and check your current CSC status (you can check it through stock recovery as well)

He reboot without wiping cache because normally when i stuck on the bootloop Samsung Galaxy S4 logo he don't want go more far than this he just stuck so i thinked the Wipe cache partition isn't wiped because he don't wanna work... 2 days ago i could wipe the cache without getting a reboot my phone is under BTU cause of the pre-root (I9505XXUAME2_I9505OXXAMDB_I9505XXUAME2_HOME.tar) i think so.

About the CSC i know this part need to be root for use CSC select then i can change the CSC and need to make a wipe factory/data of it
The problem is only even i install custom recovery for wipe the cache partition => he stuck.
Then i need to use this method: For not stuck on the boot
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265477

Even reinstalled the recovery stock it make same... he reboot and don't wipe the cache

Edit: re installed CWM recovery wiped 1st try the cache partition = stuck
then removed battery try again it work only but it have the message error

Error:

When i push on the Wipe of Davilk cache he add this message before the yes or no

Code:

E:unknow volume for path [/sd-ext]

After i reinstalled the stock recovery, he dont wanted to make the wipe of the partition

I don't like this way to always wipe the cache partition by CWM and it's bugued because need remove the battery i don't find issue with the stock recovery cache ...

Broken cache partition / recovery stock

Hello, i have got a problem with the stock recovery of the S4 i-9505 the Wipe Cache Partition dont work, always when he reboot..

Hi,

I think I have the same problem with the same ROM XXUAMDM (DBT). When I try to wipe the Cache Partition the phone shows for a while the android logo and then reboots. I had a Galaxy S3 before and after pressing the start button to wipe the cache it just showed the messages:

-- Wiping Cache
Formatting /Cache...
Cache Wipe Complete.

I personally didn't even tried to flash another ROM because I wasn't sure I could recover from a Soft Brick. I would be very interested in finding a solution. I ask if flashing a PIT file could help?

Regards

Hello,

Yeah, i got this problem just after to started to flash and root or reset counter at 0 with triangle away.
The problem can't be resolved for now i think so... i searched since 3 full days, nothing.

Even if you flashing with a PIT file he can't help you the Stock recovery is broken a bit from the Wipe cache partition.
I'm not even sure all of this is due at the PIT file who make this bug to the recovery cache partition

The cache parition don't work well. So he still have always or sometimes the old code CSC- on the Recovery. By example the XXUAME2 BTU (U-K) then i flash on the STOCK MDM DBT (GERMANY), i noticed the CSC-code don't change he stay on CSC-BTU (U-K) when i starting the phone at select language by default.

I just found a trick to wipe the cache but he don't work always, with the CSC:

I have a STOCK XXUAME2 BTU (U-K) the after I tryed to flash the Stock rom MDM DBT (GERMANY), then I gone gone on Recovery Stock and Wipe Data/Factory x1 time, then i Wipe the Cache Partition x1 time and he reboot, before he try to reboot i remove the battery behind when the screen is dark. Then I restart in Recovery Stock one more time. I Wipe Cache Partition one more time and let it reboot the phone. After this the CSC-code may change into the new rom stock flashed. It don't work always but it may fix temporaly the problem of the CSC and the Wipe Cache Partition would work. (PS: he don't work each time... but it's the way i found, waiting for people found the problem)

Edit: this can't solve really the problem of the Wipe cache partition... someone have idea?

Vanhai · Jun 8, 2013

Up any idea guys?

I did test on 2 i9505. one is root and one is factory never touch. both give error.. i check the log and found this.
warning: wipe_block_device: Wipe via secure discard failed, used discard instead

I think that's the bugs on samsung stock recovery ?

nunoabsilva · Jun 11, 2013

one more with this problem!!

Out of Box wipe cache work, the error appears after upgrade to other rom
or after running triangle away

Try flashing PIT and stock firmware at the same time, using odin3.04. Don't use any pre-rooted or modified roms. Use the PURE stock roms which can be found at http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9505

After that, enter stock recovery and wipe data and cache. Phone will reboot. Flash stock rom again and see if there's anymore problems.

Edit: When and how did the cache partition problem happen? Sorry couldn't understand what happen in 1st post. Is the cache problem gone when u flash stock rom AND never perform any root process or CSC change?

There is no way to remove the apps without rooting your phone.

xMGWx · Jun 12, 2013

...

Is it behaving something like this?
(my first post so i can't link but paste this on the end of youtube)
watch?v=8Ypsm5xflVQ

Hard to find a video on someone wiping their cache partition on an s4 :silly:

Mine is behaving like the one above, and i was previosly on a pre rooted XXUBMEA but i now on stock firmware without root.
Behaving a bit diffrent if compared to the S3 who wiped the cache then you had to reboot i manualy.
