I tried installing CM7 but accidentally downloaded and tried to flash an update. I can get into recovery and download mode but my phone can't get past the "Galaxy S" screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Start from the start and reflash.
Go to the download mode n repeat the same procedure but make sure u flash the correct file

flash stock 2.2.1 with odin and start over.
Earlier today I was trying to install the 4.3 Slim Bean Build.1. I was coming from the latest 4.2 Slim Bean ROM. So I did the usual process of wiping everything then installing the ROM and then the GApps. When I rebooted the system from recovery, my phone was just stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 loading screen. Now I cannot even boot into recovery, as every time I try to, it will show that the phone is attempting to boot into recovery and then it will just reset. I had TWRP touch recovery installed and everything was working fine until I tried installing this ROM. Are there any suggestions of what I can do/should do? Thanks in advance for any help.
Can you get in download mode(power+vol. Down) if so use odin to flash back to stock.

Yes I can. Is there a guide on how to Odin back to stock? Also, will I lose my root if I do that? Thank you

Download Odin and the latest firmware for your device,extract firmware zip file,it will extract in tar.md5 file.now extract Odin and run the Odin application and connect the device while it is in download mode. click on PDA and load the firmware extracted file. Don't touch anything other than that click on start and leave for some time to complete.
Samsung lies should be installed before the process start.
Download firmware file from sammobile.com.
Your device will be automatically unrooted.

I have run into a similar issue and was able to get into recovery by pulling the battery for about 5 minutes then using the hardware keys to boot into recovery.

after I had succesfully rooted my phone, I wanted to install a custom rom.
I am sure I did something wrong ofcource otherwise I wouldn't be here.
#1 Battery in
#2 power on
#3 vibrate
#4 screen on RECOVERY BOOTING
Recovery is NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warrenty Bit : recovery
Samsung
GALAXY Note3
SM-N9005
#5 screen off--> reboot -->goto #3
how to brake in the loop so I can use odin ( or whatever ) to install (at least) a normal boot again?
Which custom recovery did you flashed Twrp or Cwm?

You installed a 4.3 recovery on a 4.4 phone.
Most likely you downloaded the TWRP on the main page and did not download the latest 4.4 compatible one.
Please flash this in Download Mode: http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/hlte-recovery.img.tar
To get into Download Mode, remove the battery, wait a few minutes then put it back, Hold the Download Mode Combination then it would boot directly into Download Mode.
hey nicho, thank you very much
so that was the trick. REMOVE THE BATTERY --> PRESS THE DOWNLOAD KEYS AND HOLD THEM --> THEN ENTER THE BATTERY BACK.
it costed me the whole day yesterday searching for a solution.
at least now I can continue to install a new rom
Thanks man
TWRP
during twrp it told me, there was a newer one. 2.x.x.9
so stupid me, if I had sticked to the plan, nothing would happend.
I used twrp b4 some days ago, for my samsung note 10.1 (2014) without trubbles,
I guess, I overread something
but I'm happy it is all fixed now.
thx for show ur interest
greetz, fred
thank you

Solution To Loop SM-N900P
I am new to XDA and have only been with android for 6 months but i figure this will help new comers to this issue. Power+Volume Down+Home at the same time to enter download mode. Flash CWM via ODIN. This should work to fix the loop. I found out the hard way but it only took me an hour. I am not sure if this will work if you have not already rooted your phone but it should (since this is the major step in rooting). I believe i deleted my CWM file (accidentally) when i was trying to clear space for my recovery with ROM Manager. Be sure to download the Samsung drivers if you had not already done so during the rooting process.
Hope this helps.
Gives me same error message
But after that it boots into recovery.
Should I proceed installing custom rom or is there anything else to be taken care of
Thanks!
Thank you very much,you save me a lot of trouble.

Based on my experience, using rom manager to flash recovery always results in a problem. I suggest you use odin to flash this in download mode.
Btw, 4.4.2 is Kitkat

should I root my phone first using cf-root. Then flash the cwm recovery. What happens if I get stuck in a bootloop after flashing the recovery

The way I did this is, first install the cwm recovery then flash cf-root after. You can always use odin to flash back the original firmware.

so there is nothing else I have to do before flashing the recovery?
what boxes should be checkmarked in odin

Just make sure reactivation lock is off.
When you first start odin, F.Reset Time and Auto Reboot are ticked off so let them be and make sure only those are checked and nothing else.
You probably know this but just to make sure, load the recovery on the AP slot before hitting start.
I have a Galaxy S4 i9506 model SHV E300S from SK Telecom (Korea). I can't update it via OTA as I'm currently in the Philippines and don't have a SKT Sim which is required. Kies is also not pushing any updates for me. So I searched the web and saw a firmware here: http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=SHV-E300S
My question is how to install this firmware to my phone? I only have Philz recovery installed but my phone is not rooted as I don't know why the guides aren't working for me. I also have another problem, as I can't boot to download mode since I have a Philz recovery installed. Please help me as 4.3 is really and eats up the battery of my phone. Thank you very much!

Hi sir, thanks for the reply. I already tried once using odin when I installed Philz recovery CWM. And now that I have to use Odin again, i have to go to download mode again, right? It's actually one of myproblems as I don't know how to go to download mode since i have recovery installed and therefore when I press home + volume up + power button goes to recovery mode... Please help.. Thanks!

I tried to flash a custom recovery tonight onto my note 4 using the app rashr from the play store. It flashed the .img file that i downloaded tonight. after the device rebooted, it was stuck in download mode. it says "Could not do normal boot" and "ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)". it will not download into recovery no matter what i do. literally every time i turn it on, it just goes straight into download mode and says the same thing. i looked around and people were suggesting to reflash the stock firmware for my phone using odin. I was going to try this in the morning because my internet has been too slow to download the firmware i needed. i just wanted to know if i was taking the right approach to this. any other help would be much appreciated.
U have ro download the firmware no optiom
