[Q] CF-Auto Root Endless Loop

I was trying to reflash Stock Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 stock ROM via Odin but it got stuck, had to restart phone and got the yellow triangle telling that firmware upgrade encountered an error and asked me to use Kies to recover it. I used Odin again to flash CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.tar.md5 instead as PDA, now after completion of the process, I get an endless loop of rebooting with the Red android background logo and CF message.
I'm unable to access Download mode nor recovery! Did I brick my phone?!
Any tips to recover this issue? Please help!

if you cant get into download mode then yes i believe you have :S but if you find a way to get into download mode you could just flash back using odin and putting the stock fw in the PDA section.

Don t panick. I did that already... You need to disconnect the cable and take out the battery. Then you press on the 3 buttons for a while (to empty the note completely) and put the battery back in. When you press the 3 buttons again it should be in download mode again.
To me it happened i think due to the fact i didn't tick update boot loader in odin 1.85. After ticking it and flashing no problem any more. Good luck

Thank you both for help. I fixed. Now i have kitkat with root but is another problem about cwm recovery. I was flashed by odin 6.0.4.5 and was successful but not working on my phone i cant get in. Always when i pressing tree buttons is "RECOVERY BOOTING" and restarting phone and booting system normal. Any advice?

Reflash stock firmware with Odin and after that data reset, then find a custom recovery like this one http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hltetmo and flash it with Odin and flash the latest superSU.zip in recovery and you`re rooted.

Guys, I have a problem
I was stuck on recovery rebooting and now i'm on download mode and have problem with uploading stock rom

And - after "Start" of flashing

please help!

Write the stock 4.4 ROM for your phone in normal Odin.

I suggest you do the following;
First boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset, reboot and see if it boots up to android.
If that doesn't work, you can either odin a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM. Make sure you flash the latest one for KK as I've seen lots of people flashing one for 4.3 when they have a 4.4 bootloader.
Lastly, you can odin the stock firmware for your phone which can be downloaded off sammobile.

If your Phone is Not Rooted & Still Official Recovery You are using Try to Recover with Samsung Kies Most of the issues it'll solve...
Did you Check before Flashing the Drivers & Proper AP/PDA section??
More important are you Flashing the Correct Firmware for your Device???

Yeah cant connect to kies back then but i found a trick to passe that fail in odin when upgrading to 5.0.1 : when it freezed i reopened the download mode and put the n910h root in odin and then it succeded and the phone rebooted and bootlooped i then could access the recovery mode , i wiped everything and the phone just worked but with the 4.4.4 .
I tried one more time with the same procedure but when i opened the recovery mode i just hit reboot and the phone now has a rooted lollipop 5.0.1 even though i got a fail in odin.

But i v got very strange stuff going on with my phone :
-First i checked my s/n and imei with phone info and it showed a N910C not N910H
-I dont have a csc code and when i want to check it with phone info this popup shows up :
Error type 2
android.util.AndroidException: Can't connect to activity manager is the system running?

I just dont find the csc code ..

A dm-verity verification failed shows up in the recovery mode

S5 G900F stuck in a bootloop

somebody can tell me step by step what to do? I'm stuck in a bootloop and i tried to install the stock firmware with odin but it keeps failing Odin says that after i started it, everything is ok and i get a "pass" in Odin but it just keeps rebooting i only can get into download mode, not into recovery mode And when the phone starts to boot, i just get this black screen with the samsung galaxy S5 on it and in the top corner in blue letters "recovery booting ..." and then it goes black and restart ...
Can anybody help me i'm kinda desperate

Hi, try with pit file check your pm´s

Whatdo i do with the file? Flash it with odin and then? Do i flash a new rom after it?

i tried to flash it again and used that PIT file but still the same result any other suggestions? Or is my phone ready for the recycle bin? :crying:

Flash it whit the rom

Does it say G900F in download mode?

Odin mode
Product Name : SM-G900F
Current binary : Samsung official
System status : Custom
Reactivation lock (KK) : Off
Knox waranty void : 0x1 (2)
Qualcomm secureboot : Enable (CSB)
Ap survey : S1, T1, A1, A1, P1
Secure download : Enable
UDC start
Thats what it says ...

Sounds like something in DATA is corrupted, which ODIN does not wipe
So flashing ROMs with ODIN won't fix it, you need to wipe the phone
Almost the same thing was happening with another member the other day, using ODIN option "Nand erase all" while flashing the ROM to wipe the phone, and then using KIES3 to recover the firmware was their fix
After Nand erase all, the phone would only enter download mode, KIES3 fixed that with the firmware recovery process
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/
--
Or you could try flashing TWRP with ODIN, and see if you can get into TWRP recovery first, factory reset from there

I tried to put TWRP on my S5 with odin but that didn't work ...
Now i just flashed the phone with a new rom and with "Nand erase all" ticked and then do a firmware upgrade with "Kies" but unfortunately that didn't worked either :crying:

any other suggestions?

In ODIN, uncheck "Auto reboot"
Flash TWRP
When it completes disconnect USB and remove battery to power off
Replace battery and immediately boot into recovery
Volume Up & Home & Power
ANd you need to add more details other than "It didn't work" or we can't help

Ok i did what you suggested and at first it starts up with this on the screen :
Recovery booting .... (in blue letters)
Set warranty bit: recovery (in yellow letters)
then it just reboots without this text on it but it just keeps rebooting ... i dont get to see any thing else but the samsung galaxy s5 powered by android screen ...

And what does KIES firmware recovery say?

With the kies program i get thesame result ... it just stucks in the bootloop ...

No, what does KIES say when you run the firmware recovery?
I'm going to leave you to it, can't help you when you just keep repeating the same thing "Doesn't work"

Im not home at the moment,i will give it another go when im at home and tell you what it sayw

Ok, i opened Kies and searched for that emergency recovery firmware that you talked about but i don't see a option to select my phone??
Here is a printscreen from kies and my phone connected i download mode ...

Ok, you may close this topic, i brought the s5 to a repairshop and they are gonna check what the could do ... possible even necessary to replace the touchscreen and lcd according to the salesmen :s
