I'm having a major issue with my phone. I installed TWRP version ending .2 and been using roms with no issues. I also never had an issue with my GS3 in the past. In any event, I recently tried to install the FREEGS4 rom and it initially loads fine. However, when I rebooted, it froze at the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo screen. I tried formating data and reflash rom. It flashes fine and loads fine initially.. but when I reboot, it freezes at logo screen. I tried to flash another custom MDL rom and it loads fine initially but freezes at reboot.
I tried to ODIN back to stock MDC. It flashes fine but when it auto reboots, it freezes at Samsung Galaxy S4 logo screen. I tried to ODIN back to stock with MDL rom. Same issue.. The only way I can get the OS to load is if I install TWRP and I do a quick flash of a ROM. It will intially load the ROM fine but if I power off or reboot the phone, it will freeze on the Samsung Galaxy S4 Logo screen.
Does anyone what could be causing this and any recommendations on how to fix it?

Before flashing a new ROM, did you clear dalvik and cache?
Yes. I always do. I even tried formatting data. I also tried odin back to stock rom. I am using the phone now because it boots the first time after flashing a custom rom. I havent rebooted since but as soon as I do, it will freeze and I would need to re flash custom rom. Stock rom freezes too

When you Odin back to stock did you do another factory reset after boot? You need to do 2 factory resets after boot also wipe system when flashing ROMs.
i have the same issue as you.
idk if this fixed it but i went back to the stock recovery and did a factory reset twice rebooted my phone then installed twrp. flashed freegs4 and now my os boots up with no issues.

So I have an Canadian Note 3, SM-N9008W8 phone.
I had it rooted without issue. I then installed TWRP.
Once I install X-Note, I started to have issues. At first it worked, booted into it fine. Then WiFi & Mobile didn't work, so I found a fix, installed the WiFi fix, rebooted, then the mobile fix, rebooted. Though mobile still didn't work, so I tried factory reset, and a re-install of them all to fix it, but now it just keeps rebooting. Either it gets to the booting screen and keeps rebooting, or sometimes it boots into the OS, but after a bit it reboots.
The original zip file for the OS is not on the phone anymore, so I can't even try a re-install of it, and I have done a factory/data reset a few times, same issue, its stuck.
So now I don't know what to do.

pull the battery out for a 1 minute see if that works, if not have you got the latest TWRP xnote does say only tested with the latest one ,you can download stock from here www.sammobile.com but you will loes root
Yea, that website has nothing for Note 3s...?
Yes latest TWRP, and battery pull did nothing. The phone is completely screwed
Where else would I find stock ODIN files for Canadian note 3?
samsung-updates.com - and a bit of googling if not there, there will be some somewhere.
Found one but no luck.
Somehow after using Odin and putting stock on there, its still boot looping. I have tried it 12 times, differnet ways, no luck. It makes no sense.
Maybe its Windows 8.1? I just tried on Windows 7, but now Odin shows FAIL when I did it.
I was on X-note and I have Same problem since yesterday I did factory reset and install different rom but doesn't work I install original rom by odin but still rebooting and no signal and wifi doesn't work so what's the problem is it software or hardware ..?
Help us guys

It's been awhile since I changed anything on this phone, I've been running CM11 with no issues. The wife was playing with my phone which is on cm12 and wanted me to upgrade it. Great, I hate having to touch her phone but ok.
1. Did a straight upgrade to CM12 nightly (couple nights ago build) with gapps from CM site. After the install everything crashes on the initial load, it's like the baseband is jacked and doesn't know how to handle the new google play services because everything crashes.
2. Went back and wiped internal everything this time, re installed nightly and gapps. No change.
3. Tried step 2 a couple more times and different gapps from PA and other random sites (micro, light, stock versions) and then TWRP just died on me. It's asking for a password when I first go in so now I'm stuck there. Tried to use ODIN to install the latest TWRP after converting it with another script found here (i'll find the link).
so, I'm probably going to have to use ODIN to restore some stock version of S4 ATT but I really don't know which one is stock that would work with CM12. I don't want to get caught in the safestrap crap of dual boot and whatever else. Any help is greatly appreciated.
You'll need to Odin the mdl firmware in Odin. Be careful as it will want to update itself after you flash it. See sammobile.com for the firmware.

Awesome, thanks!
Flashed the stock, towelroot, twrp from google play and cm12 nightly. Perfect and back where I left off. Thanks!!
Ok.. I did a bad thing I guess. after working for a couple weeks I tried to reset the phone while cm12.1 was installed. All it did was keep restarting TWRP and was stuck there. So I figured there was an issue with the twrp install or something whatever, I went to flash back to stock mdl in odin. Instead of selecting PDA I selected Phone and it failed on the first attempt. Then I selected PDA and it installed correctly (Said passed). Now I'm stuck on the AT&T logo on boot. I tried to reinstall the stock rom again and the same results. Where do I go from here??!?

Boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset

Ok, factory reset worked on the second try. Sent it in to a boot loop on the first go around, odd. Thanks!
i have been trying to install a good rom on my s5. i know that since i have an 11' toshiba chip, i cant do any major custom roms only stock touchwiz roms. i have 3 or 4 that i have found that actually work on my phone and when i tried a new rom today, it didn't work. so i flashed 4.4.2 again to start from scratch and i went back to my usual stock deodexed rom that is always a for sure rom that works. today when i flashed it, twrp (safestrap) prompts me to either boot normally or to continue. i have had this problem in the past, and whenever it shows that screen, it will never boot up, after the prompt it will just have a black screen for about 5 min. before booting stock recovery. if i boot it up again, safestrap will still prompt me if i want to boot recovery or continue and keep repeating this cycle. last time, it had resolved itself and didnt show up after wiping and reflashing my rom. this time it wont go away and my phone wont boot anything. thanks in advance

Find youre phones firmware and put phone into download mode and flash firmware!
I recently rooted my S7 Edge using Odin and it worked for about a day. It was slower than my stock Android and I was tinkering with it, but it eventually froze and when it rebooted it booted into Recovery Boot. Every time it reboots it tries to install a System Update which I presume fails and goes back into the recovery boot. I tried running the graphical test but it just says error and tries to install an update and the cycle repeats. I have ultimately decided I just need to reinstall the stock firmware, and have wiped the Cache and Data using the recovery boot options. However, when I plug it into my laptop it does not recognize my phone at all now. This causes quite the issue as I can't flash anything if it doesn't recognize my phone. I need help as to how I make it recognize my phone again and any other steps I might be missing to reinstall stock firmware.
Just odin Full stock Sprint firmware... I had that happen once, and it took care of it.. I'm re-rooted for about a month and it works flawless.
Hi Everyone
So i have had my s7 edge ages now had a few roms on it such as helios rom, batman rom and superman rom never had any issues about a month ago it froze when i was using it and when it rebooted it just froze on the Samsung logo.
I messed about with it for a day or 2 and managed to get it to boot in the end by formating the data through TWRP and then i used Odin to flash the stock firmware, then i put TWRP back on and was enjoying the use of custom roms again.
Yesterday my phone froze again when i was using it and then froze when it was rebooting and i have been doing different things since to try and get it going again i have tried using Odin to flash the stock rom i have tried putting TWRP back on and flashing different custom roms i have tried formatting the data again, And now with stock firmware on it after freezing at different points during the boot process for half an hour and rebooting its just got to the start screen :/
Sound like a hardware problem

I managed to get to the home secreen and start the first stock update but its so strange the update installs it freezes on boot and reboots like 50 times and finally comes back on then does the same with the next update.
Im currently still in a boot loop after installing stock update 2 so that sucks lol
So after several days of flashing stock fimwares etc I managed to find what was meant to be the official 7.0 firmware for the g935f so I installed that with odin and it booted fine now I have put TWRP and Helios Rom back on it and it seems fine
I am so confused lol
