This thread is gonna get moved to Q&A, but, before it does...
First, try to boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. If that doesn't work, you're probably going to need to flash a stock firmware via Mobile ODIN or the PC version of ODIN.
See the stickied thread with official firmwares in this section, then search XDA for how to flash via ODIN (I highly recommend Mobile ODIN). That should do the trick.

i have make all wipe but not change.i have flashed with odin 1.85 the stock firmware but is the same!

tell us a bit more detail how u flash and what u flash via odin

i have flashed the firmware P6800XXLA3 CSC ATO.with odin 1.85.but remainig in bootloop

Assuming that your download mode is fine
Can you enter recovery mode? What recovery. Stock or CWM?
If yes.. Your cache and dalvik need to be clean up..
When flashing with odin, Dont check repartition or use pit files, you dont need it except you know what to do..

I advise you to flash your machine with the following firmware ..... (see photo)

thanks

Have you done the Samsung stock recovery 3e data wipe/factory reset
And then reflash your stock firmware.
CWM data wipe or format is not good enough.
you might have to remove external sd card if 3e recovery goes to 'manual mode'.

i did exactly,but is the always the same:bootloop!!!is possible there is a virus?is possible to flash a firmware with Odin,with Bootloader and Pit?

excusme but i dont undestended the 3e recovery how i install.

my rooted GT7.7 with CWM also experience similar problem.
It stuck in the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7" screen for around 5 mins and go into animation then growing "SAMSUNG" logo for another 5 mins.
Then finally it boot up normally. 8'(

How to Unbrick Samsung Galaxy S4?

Hello
I'll cut to the chase already because I'm desperate, I bought a galaxy s4 yesterday and hated the rom that came with it, I decided to return the root and rom rom by google.
I followed this tutorial, my s4 is the GT-I9505 4G purchased at VIVO (and modified by vivo too)
I used this rom: https://mega.co.nz/#!Ug5H3ByL!Q6K1Ig41xsFAL5GS79SZVzR2rR8iNPSsR1CYodf7oog
I got here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272
At 10:40 of the video you can see that soon changes the logo s4 to the boot animation, I waited 30 minutes and nothing happened here, his is in seconds.
I read that-2.6.0.0 TWRP Recovery Mode could have caused the bootloop
I switched to TWRP 2.6.0.0-a modified version (one that I found to download) the-TWRP 2.5.0.2
I did wipes straights and choked install, over 16 minutes and nothing happened.
not sure anymore if I'm with bootloop or not, I saw a video of him and the screen flashes and lights, my stays on, so leave more than 30 minutes even?I left a few hours while sleeping (or at least tried) and continued at the boot
I can not access the phone by pc, how will a new rom on it?I installed the drivers that were recommended
Help me guys :crying:
and sorry for the horrible english, I'm translating the messages!
EDIT:
When I mount the sd recovery mode by:

Hi,
Look HERE
ODIN 3.04 works well.

S5 G900F problem. Urgent help needed please!

I've just bought a Galaxy S5 G900F. It was rooted, with Alliance rom. SE secure was showing G900T but the rest was G900F and it says this on the phone under the battery.
It didn't have a recovery on it but I was able to flash TWRP recovery.
Everything appears to be for the G900F model, but the kernel and the modem are showing the G900T which is the T-Mobile US version. When I am in download mode, it shows a product name of G900T. When I try to flash a rom or modem, it gives a fail notice in download mode which reads 'aboot'. The phone doesn't appear to be bricked, possibly soft bricked.
I really don't know what to do now. I'm struggling to even flash a stock rom. Flashing via recovery has failed, as well as via Odin on a PC.
If anyone can help, I'd be extremely grateful. I can't even try to return it in this condition.

How did you flash the recovery exactly?
Did you try performing a factory reset and wiping the cache partition before flashing?

Yes, we did that with the Skipsoft toolkit.

Grab ODIN and a stock ROM from sammobile dot com and flash it from download mode

Hi. Tried that but it failed

Can anyone suggest anything else please? Pretty desperate!

You can flash roms in different ways: Odin, Fastboot and through a custom recovery.
Did you try flashing the rom by using your TWRP recovery?
You can choose to install a zip.
Steps are found here:
http://highonandroid.com/android-roms/how-to-install-custom-rom-using-twrp-recovery-failproof-method/

Yes, tried this. To make it worse, Samsung are refusing to fix it, as it was previously rooted by the previous owner

I would try flashing a different kernel.
If that doesn't help, try unrooting and rooting with cf auto root.

@joekeee we can't mount the internal memory via recovery to send a file over

There's no rom to boot up anything with anymore. We need a link to some kernels. Would you know where?

SD card?
You can flash kernels with Odin as well.
When you say flashing the custom rom has failed, was there an error message in Odin or on the device?
What does it do after flashing, nothing, bootloop, ...?

In download mode, the error message was "aroot". Same thing in Odin "failed aboot".

SD card?
What Odin version are you using?
Does it say anything else but aboot?

On bootup, it stays on the S5 screen. Nothing else.

Going to try the SD card....

Not writing to NAND

What Odin version are you using?
For this problem some suggest v3.04 or v3.07.

/system Won't Mount - Am I Bricked?

What I did:
Was coming from an old version of OptimalROM, that I'd somehow installed to the main slot in safestrap, but that was a really long time ago. I believe it was an N12 based ROM, as I have an old G900vN12 firmware file in the same folder from when I did it originally.
I downloaded the Deodexed newest Optimal ROM, did a full safestrap backup to SD, and then followed the directions (coming from KitKat) exactly to Odin flash the new ROM. It appeared to work, but I got stuck at S5 logo screen forever.
So, tried again. Same result. Tried with battery pulled, same result.
So I shifted to the directions to restore to stock via Odin, and I can flash Kernels and FW's fine, PIT files appear to work, but every time I get to flashing a ROM, it hangs on the system.img.ext4 install forever. I've left it for hours, it's truly locking, always right there.
I initially tried NCG version, which I think was a mistake, but I didn't know the difference at first and just went with the oldest one. I then tried N12, and still got the same result. I can flash (via Odin) Kernels, Modems, FW's, just not ROMs. Every time, it hangs on system.img.ext4.
I connected via ADB but all I can do is verify the device is connected, if I try to sideload or push anything it just gives me "error: closed"
So I'm lost now. I can boot into download mode and recovery (recovery only if I flash a firmware, if I've tried to flash a ROM it fails.) In recovery mode it tells me that "E: failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)" and I believe that's at the core of the issue here. I've tried to issue commands via ADB to remount, but I get the same error.

}
I've read some places that people have success loading the correct FW or ROM with the appropriate PIT file in Odin, but I've tried that like 20 times and it doesn't work. I think I just need to find the correct Kernel/FW/ROM to flash, but I have no idea what to try next.
Edit - I also tried booting into Maintenance menu and wiping everything (data/cache) in there before a fresh attempt to install the retail N12 and Oc4 Kernels and ROMs, same issue.
I feel like I've borked the partitions and the PIT file isn't fixing them, and that's my main problem, but I honestly don't know enough to know.
Can anyone suggest anything? I'd be happy to just go back to stock, even - I need a functioning phone. Thanks!

extract the pit file with winrar from the tar file, tick repartition and flash the tar file

Wait, which tar file specifically do I extract it from? I don't see it in any of the main tars or in firmwares either. I'm using 7zip, not winrar, if that matters, but I don't see why it would.
Edit - Nevermind, I found it in the Stock ROM file, I wasn't using that one because it said "Mostly for Dev Edition" but will try it now and report back, thank you.

Well, that didn't really make progress. I did the following:
Tried to flash the ROM with the pit file and the box checked, locked up
reflashed the N12 Kernel/bootloader
Rebooted into maintenance, cleared data and cache, factory reset, rebooted into Odin
tried to flash the stock rom with pit, failed
reflashed the N12 Kernel/bootloader again
Rebooted into maintenance, cleared data and cache, factory reset, rebooted into Odin again
tried to flash the stock FW only, with pit, locks on Modem. (tried with and without battery)
That's it so far. Is it possible installing the stuff for the new deodexed OptimalROM might have moved me past being compatible with N12 stuff in general, even though it ultimately failed? If so, which version on this page should I be trying to restore? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784880

Well, I'm all out of ideas, so unless anyone else can suggest something, I'm going to reactivate my old Galaxy Nexus and pray I have enough in my IT budget to buy myself a 6P this week.
If anyone can tell me a good basic strategy to get a bricked S5 back from the dead, let me know. I can still flash Kernels, and boot into Odin mode and Maintenance. No clue what else to do, I've tried everything I can at this point.

Would still like to know if there's an answer here, I got a 6P but I'd like to use this as a remote or something maybe, instead of a paperweight. Surely there's SOME way to revive it?

Do exactly what you did HERE except also check nand erase all
Then when phone reboots to recovery and does the android updating when that is finished when the phone reboots pull the battery and reboot back to recovery and wipe data then reboot

hello, I have the same problem, any help on how you can fix my phone again?

Then you are on boe1 or higher bootloader. You will probably need to use the bok3 factory tar image

[Q] SPH-L720 with L720VPUFNG2 bootloader question

I bought my phone in the US, and unlocked it before coming to Europe.
I was able to root my phone and now I'm running Resurrection Remix (6.0.1) on it with almost no problems.
I'm trying to find out if my bootloader is locked since I would like to do some other things as well (the partition structure is terrible and I would like to change it, and also I would like to install jfltexx modem and bootloader).
I've tried to flash using ODIN but it fails, and Heimdall won't recognize the device (even after driver installation).
If the bootloader isn't locked can I simply dd files to mmcblk0p6 from adb or terminal emulator?
Thx in advance.

Tried to flash both modem and bootloader for fltexx and failed both times. Reason - secure check fail: mdm and secure check fail: aboot. Write protecton enabled is shown in Download mode, maybe that has something to do with it?

You sure you don't have the L720T? It has a Write Protection setting in Settings/Security on the stock ROM that needs to be disabled before using Odin. Also if you flash another modem you will lose your carrier unlock.

The international modems aren't for this device, hence your problem. Odin does a device check before flashing anything.

OK, but does Odin do something special except copying the files? Popular recoveries that we use are cool but you can also do everything manually if you know a bit of Linux over ADB.
Is it the same here?

It copies tar files. Such as modems, boot, and recovery. It's not like recovery such as TWRP.

Right, but .tar are just archives and then you unpack it and copy the files to the right place. For example aboot.mbn to mmcblk0p6 (and other files accordingly as well)
