I have had my S5 for two days now. I haven't done any modifications to it and have kept it completing stock. I was browsing the internet in Chrome when I got a notification saying there was a security breach and that the phone needed to restart in order to undue any changes made. So I pressed the restart button and it started to restart normally until I saw in tiny blue text "RECOVERY BOOTING....", I didn't think much of it until nothing started to happen after a minute. I let it go for another 5 minutes and then 15 minutes. I came back and still it was at the same screen. I decided to turn the device off and on to see if that would do anything, nothing happened. I took the battery out and waited a few minutes to put it back in, again nothing new. I was looking into other threads about this happening to other phones because the S5 is so new there is nothing on it doing this. But I found no useful information. So my question is, how can I fix this? I don't mind having to reset it, there's only a few apps installed. I'm tech savvy, so I'll now what you mean if you give me any tips. Thank you!
If doesn't matter if you lost the installed apps, then boot to recovery and choose wipe data reset factory and then wipe data cache.then restart your mobile it should solve your problem.

I should have mentioned this in the post but I have tried that, nothing happens. It's already trying to boot into recovery, I wonder if I can get it out of trying to do that.
Try to boot into download mode then restart normally, maybe it gets you out of the recovery booting loop.

And if this didn't work.
I think you should download the stock rom from sammobile or samsung-updates.com sites and reinstall it again.

So I reinstalled the stock rom and now the recovery boot text is gone, but it still doesn't actually boot up into Android. Looks like I will have to take the phone back to the store and hope I can get a replacement. Thanks for your help!

First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card...make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing.
This alone could have solved your problem, if it did not, than you can follow this guide to try again or get any file you may need from My Android Collections and or a solution from My Android Solutions
I got my phone (The day it was released), rooted it, but didn't install a recovery.. or kernel. really just wanted to restore apps with Titanium backup.
Everything was fine. until today. it had restarted and updated the system on it's own. that was fine. then it had a notification from samsung to update the system, so i clicked on that, it said it was reboot twice and take several minutes, it installed, started up, everything was working great, then a message came up saying system would reboot. i clicked okay. it restarted. and now its stuck on the yellow splash screen
i've taken the battery out. same thing.. i'm not sure what to do.
Why did you accept an update while rooted.? It should have failed to install.

The only think I can think of is to Odin back to stock unrooted. Since you can't flash anything. Or Odin a kernel (cwm/twrp) then wipe the phone.

Yup Root is gone. grr.
All that was needed was a kernel change, that error is a kernel issue.
I´m new here and I'm hope in the correct forum. Sorry my English isn't the best but I´ll try to explain, maybe someone can help me.
I've never rooted a phone before. I was just trying to root my Samsung Galaxy S4 4G(Australia) with ODIN and my phone now stuck with the blue colour legend Recovery booting for at least 6 hours now. i think i put the wrong tar. file in PDA. i unplugged the battery and put it back in but once i press the power button it switch to the blue colour legend Recovery booting again >!<is there any chance that i can fix it and can anyone help me plz..i'm freaking out
Pull out the battery and see if you can boot into download mode by holding power and down volume. If so some warning screen will pop up and continue. If this works you should be able to recover the phone with the right tar rile.

First list what exact model number your galaxy s4 is. If the phone doesn't boot it should say on the back of the phone when you take off the battery.
Once you do that you should boot into download mode and Odin the correct tar. That should boot you right up then you can perform a factory reset.

You're in the Sprint S4 forums. You need to look for the International S4 thread that has your Odin tar file then flash that. You should be just fine. Either search here for it or Google " xda i9505" and that'll find it for you.

Here's a pretty good thread on your phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701681
Nor sure if an Odin file is there but looks like recoveries , roms and root info definitely is. Plus they can answer your questions better

So a couple of days ago I purchased a new galaxy s6 edge+ from t-mobile. When I got home I immediately wanted to root and install a ROM without the bloatware. I downloaded a rooted kernel and went to Odin to flash it. When it flashes it reboots to the Samsung logo screen and stays there. The top of the screen reads than the kernel is not seandroid enforcing. I can boot into download mode still but nothing I have tried will get it to boot back up. I made sure that I unlocked developers options on my phone before I went to do anything. All I want to do it just take it back to stock at this point. Someone please help.
You need to flash a recovery first. Then arter97s kernel from recovery. Then I would clear cache and dalvik cache.

How can I boot into recovery? I hate that I can't pull the battery on the phone. Right now it is just stuck at the logo screen. I can use volume down and power to hard reset it but then it just goes back to the logo screen. Anyway you could drop me the links for what I need? This whole thing is a lot different than what I had to do for my note 3
Volume up + home + power. But it can be a bit tricky I've noticed. Check out arter97s kernel thread below android development.
There you can find recovery and kernel.
Flash recovery trough Odin and flash kernel trough recovery.
Pretty much exactly as the note 3 done it several times.
You need to somehow get the kernel on the phone tho. And as you can't boot it. Google ADB sideload to install it via a db and cable. Or reinstall stock rom and transfer the kernel.

Okay I spent a good 5 hours on this tonight and I think I only made it worse. I got a kernel and a recovery made to be flashed in Odin. Flashed the recovery. Rebooted. Flashed the kernel. Now when I turn the phone onumber it just loops over and over on the Samsung logo. I can't really turn it off, my only 2 option are infinite bootloop or putting the phone in download mode. I really am starting to feel more and more screwed in this situation. Thank you for any help or advice, it makes it very difficult when there is one else I can go to see for help on the issue.
What can I flash from Odin that can take me back to how it was out of the box. Knox is already tripped.
Go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ site. Search for your phone. I got a 928f. But you gotta find out what model you got.
Then download the firmware and flash It with Odin!

i had the exact same problem, what got it to boot was that i flashed though odin the stock firmware. here is the link to it. http://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G928T/ now i have another problem, after i flashed back to stock, i wanted to downgrade to UVU1AOGD snd now all the flashing process says it passed and everything but the phone wont boot passed the s6 ed plus logo. i can boot into recovery and flash stuff but it just wont boot. i try reseting it through recovery but it gives me an error. i think that it cant mount the internal storage, dont know why so i would recommend you not to flash downgrade to UVU1AOGD because you wont be able to boot. maybe if i can get a pit file.. or update to UVU1BOH6 , it will be able to boot
Don't play with pit files. There is a big chance that things can go wrong. Just download the latest firmware for your phone and don't risk it! happy flashing!
Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk
i flashed back to UVU1BOH4 but phone just wont boot. do you think that by upgrading to UVU1BOH6 will fix the problem, it just wont go pass the black samsung galaxy s5 edge + logo, ive done everything

I have a SM-G900V running 6.0.1 PF4 that I want to get rooted, I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
guide try to downgrade back to LL so I can then root it. but as I hit the power power+voulme down+home+ nothing happened. I then went to factory reset the recovery factory pops up it shows the android robot with some chinese letters right under, it stays there for like 5 seconds then it reboots. Now the phone hangs at the verizon screen and just stays there. Could someone please point me to the right direction on how to work around this issue?
thanks
