I was on a coolboyz GE4.3 rom and flashed faux kernel and the device wouldnt boot even to recovery. I flashed a stock samsung firmware via odin and now it boots all the way to the samsung logo including boot animation but will not boot from there. I think I may have flashed a TW kernel on a 4.3 GE base..
I can't boot to my recovery, should I flash one via odin?
Is there anything I can do?

well a strange issue here may be you can try rooting the device if it goes to download mode and then flash philz recovery and see if it goes to recovery from there you can wipe cache / dalvik and reset the device

Hi, after flashing some ROMs (Omega) the phone booted normally, installed some apps and rebooted. But after that, the phone stay at Samsung GalaxyS4 screen and no furhter movement... I flashed new Stock ROM via ODIN with NO errors, but again when booting, it stay at Galaxy s4 screen... Tried and flash the PIT file with the stock ROM as well, but the same.. after the flash, it strat rebooting, and stuck on the Samsung GALAXYS4... Any ideas what to do?
Boot into recovery - home/vol up/ power wipe cache, factory reset etc then look for your default firmware from sammmobile and use odin to flash.
Don't mess with pit you will just screw it up doing stuff like that.

firstly flash a new stock rom using odin without pit.. then do a factory reset in recovery
Of course I tried to do this first... But I cannot go into recovery mode. While holding the three keys, the phone vibrated, screen went black... and that is. When release the keys it starts booting but not to go into recovery.. Tried to flash the stock recovery via odin. It flashed, but again - cannot go into trecovery

Try flashing other things with Odin. Like a kernel or CWM recovery. Something might work.
After many tries, I could managed to enter the Recovery mode . It showed no mount of /data... but after Wipe it worked

Boot into download mode and flash custom recovery using odin. After that, boot into recovery and wipe cache, dalvik, /system, /data. Flash stock firmware in odin afterwards.

Hi, need a stock MJ5 kernel flashable with odin to save my GT-I9505, stuck at splash screen with no recovery. Been flashing with odin and Kies for the last 4 days without any luck. I ve downloaded one which says MJ5 stock kernel but when i unzip it its MJ3. Thanks
Why not just flash a rom with MJ5 in it?
Or just flash a recovery and do a wipe. Then flash the rom you want.

Thanks, Been flashing last 4 days, stock with odin both rom n recovery n also using kies firmware upgrading, both done successfully but phone just reboot into "recovery booting"n stays there, saw a lot of post here in xda n elsewhere but no one seems to ve found any solution, btw my phone is not rooted. took it out of my pocket last week saw phone was off where i powered it just stays on splash screen will go to download mode but not recovery. Also have a galaxy w same condition. Everybody seems to think that if phone is able to boot to download mode phone is not bricked, i beg to differ. I ve a few HTC phone never have so much problem as Samsung, my Note 2 suffered SDS:crying:. No more Samsung phones. Thanks guys
Flash the kernel still no help.

If I were in this situation I would flash a custom recovery (Philz) and if you can boot into that recovery, I would format System, Data, Cache and SD card.
Now you have a totally clean slate to flash Stock ROM in Odin. The thing is Odin flashing is a no wipe procedure, so if you have something corrupt or causing issues on your phone it'll still be there after Odin flash regardless of firmware.
You can find the .Tar file of Philz recovery in his thread, flash that in PDA of Odin and try to boot to recovery again. Make sure auto reboot is NOT ticked and your phone is totally powered off. Then using Volume up+Power try again to boot to recovery, as soon as you see the blue writing "recovery booting" release power button but keep holding down Volume UP.
So what you are saying:
- You can't boot, it stays at the Samsung logo.
- You can't enter recovery, it just boots again.
- You can enter download mode.
- Flashing is succesfull.
Am I correct? Then my first guess would be that you have a faulty battery. Look if its more swollen than normal.

Thought of it but i don't wanna trigger the flag (Knox) as my phone is still under warranty.
Tested with my Galaxy W (same condition with S4) everything i flash with odin is successful but phone boot up in same condition. That's why i just wanna try with stock for S4.

My phone is only 2 months also tried different battery, I ve 2 original. When i plug into wall charger only shows grey battery icon with static circle, but the funny thing is i suspect the battery is being charged.
When i boot into recovery it just stays at "recovery booting"ve left it for 30mins and when i turn on normally it stays on the splash screen.
Guys , i need help.
i am using cm 11.0 without issues and decided to install OMNI 4.2.2. Before I installed samsung 4.2.2 stock rom (I9505VJUBMG3_I9505ZTOBMG3_I9505VJUBMG3_HOME.tar) for test some things and then flashing the OMNI ROM . I flashed with sucess but my phone stuck in bootloop, I try do full wipes, but to my surprise I cant access recovery mode, every time I press the buttons it appears it upon recovery boot and before entering it restarts and returns to the bootloop, already tried installing philztouch but no sucess, not tried other recovery, because i can install only files. md5 via odin ...
what to do?
Thank You so much
EDIT : i installed CWM lastest version via odin and the issue continues
PLEASE GUYS =/
Flash stock rom with Odin = clean slate & start again.

I just rebooted my phone into recovery mode using this quick reboot pro app, it worked fine, I just wanted to test out the app so I wanted to reboot. I pressed the reboot button in TWRP, I pressed system, I saw the boot logo, but it didn't boot and it just entered the TWRP. I tried to reboot again, the same thing happened. I'm basically stuck in the recovery. I didn't try wiping data and cache or anything like that, I don't want to mess up my phone more. Can someone help me out here, I don't know what to do to fix it

Hello there, i had the sane problem one Day, never use an App tha reboots into recovery or bootloader, it Will be stock. For the fix, You have to flash the official Samsung firmware 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 via odin And your Phone Will be Just fine.

Or just reflash twrp with odin. This will reset the reboot flag.
As said use the button combo to boot to recovery and you won't have an issue.
