I had a similar problem with my Galaxy S5. I could not get past the Samsung screen. I tried everything, Kies, etc., nothing worked. If your device is newer I would suggest going through some sort of warranty replacement. If it is older you may need to send it directly to Samsung for service. My phone was out of warranty so I chose to send it to Samsung for repair. It took about 4 days total time there and back and cost me $70 US. Note I am in the US and bought my phone here (Sprint).

so you tried kies with the emegancy recovery software?

Yes, but it would not work. I was informed by Samsung support that Kies would not work with Sprint branded phones.

I'm sorry if I gave wrong information, all I know is I could not get Kies to work so I could put the firmware back on my phone. When I finally called Samsung, they asked if I had tried Kies and I told them yes. Then when I told her it was a Sprint phone, she told me Kies would not work with my phone because it was from Sprint.

I never meant to imply that Kies would not work for the OP, just that it did not work for me.
