I was using the latest Safestrap, v3.72, and ran across a bootloop. It happened when I was in SS recovery and went to Reboot and accidentally pressed Recovery instead of System. After that my phone began rebooting into the Recovery. That blue message saying "Recovery Booting..." appeared in the top left corner, but after a few seconds I felt some haptic feedback and the phone rebooted, only to display the blue message again. I took out the battery and booted up the phone, but the blue message persisted. I figured that the only way out would be to boot into download mode and use Odin, so I then tried to boot into download mode (power, home, and volume down keys), but it only rebooted with the blue message again. I pulled the battery out and waited. After a few tense minutes, I inserted the battery and instead of powering up the phone normally I tried to boot into download mode and it worked. I'm currently waiting for the MJE stock tar to finish downloading. I'm sure I'll be able to Odin my way back.
Try to press where whee recover icon would normally be or the home button as it's booting

It doesn't work. As soon as I turn the phone on it goes straight to the "Recovery Booting..." screen. The stock tar just finished downloading, so I'll report back after I use Odin.
I just finished flashing the stock tar with Odin. It went well. Now I just have to reroot, install safestrap, and restore my backup.

Tried to boot into recovery and got stuck in a bootloop. At the top left corner it says "RECOVERY BOOTING. . . ." in blue but it keeps restarting on its own. I was initially trying to get into safestrap to do my first backup of the rom but I can't get into safestrap. I also tried connecting my phone to Odin but it is not being recognized. Can anyone help?

Try booting into download mode (Vol. Down, Home and Power) then hit cancel and reboot.

If you'd like to reboot to safestrap, settings>custom settings>power menu, change it there and you'll reboot straight to safestrap and not bootloop.

I think I may have bricked my phone. I have a Verizon Note 3 - rooted - running Kit Kat with Safe Strap. In the power menu (accessed when I hold the power button down) I accidentally selected boot into recovery mode. Now my phone is stuck in an endless boot loop. It powers on to the 'Note 3 - Custom' screen with blue text at the top that says "Booting recovery..." then it shuts down and starts over again and refuses to actually boot into recovery mode. I've tried taking out the battery and sim card, with no luck... the same result. Can anyone think of a way to troubleshoot given that I cant even get the phone to boot at all? Thank you.

It doesn't sound like your phone is bricked... it just sounds like you're stuck in a bootloop, which is usually fixable.
Try removing the battery again and leaving it out about 10 mins... also press down the power button on the phone for 10 seconds or so with the battery out to discharge any remaining power still in the device. Put battery back in after a bit and see if you can boot into stock recovery (by pressing volume up+home button+power button all at same time). If it lets you boot into stock recovery, see if just wiping the cache allows it to boot back up. If that doesn't work, pull battery... reinsert... boot back into stock recovery and do a factory reset (that will wipe all your data as I'm sure you know, so that's why I thought wiping cache first may be worth a try--even though wiping cache alone probably won't work). Hopefully, you have made a TWRP backup in safestrap that you can use to restore if you have to factory reset.
If you can't get into stock recovery manually.... or if you can and wiping cache or factory reset doesn't work, then you could boot into Odin mode (by pressing volume down+home button+power button all at same time), and restore the phone back to KitKat 4.4.2 with Odin. Droidstyle has put together a great guide to help restore the phone which you can find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46461911
I hope this helps you get it fixed. Good luck!
I was reading through older forum posts and came across this thread which may help with some other ideas if you couldn't get into stock recovery to fix it with a wipe.... ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56087194 ).
A couple of the suggested fixes in the thread may be easier than using Odin to go back to stock.
I tried to upgrade to the latest version via Keis on my rooted S5. After it said it was successful, it rebooted and now it freezes on the verizon screen when it loads and goes no further. I tried to reset the phone by using Odin 3.09 and the original stock kernal G900V_NCG_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 but it will just stay at the "samsung unlocked" screen, reboot, then goes into recovery mode. I have done a factory reset on it and re-tried the upgrade with no luck. It will only boot into the recovery mode automatically (I don't have to press anything, it just goes strait to it when it boots). Any advice?
Thank you,

I was able to finally get it working by following the directions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784880
I did try your way but it still gave me the same error. I think something got f'd up on the partitioning? I'm not sure, but i loaded it into Odin and it kept on failing. Only after I re-partitioned it, it finally came back. Thank you though for your help.

Glad it worked out and thanks for telling how you solved it.
So I was installing a lollipop rom via Odin and my T530NU has become bricked. After two days of trying every version of Odin possible and attempting to flash various firmwares, no success. I am able to get into recovery mode but cannot get into download mode. In recovery mode, you can install an update via sd card, but I cannot find a file for that, if that would even fix the problem. But fast forward to current time, if you boot the device like normal, it is stuck on the samsung logo with red text at the top left that says 'Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" and below that in yellow "Set warranty bit : kernel." If I press the volume keys, the appropriate volume sound is made, but oddly, pressing the home key and the power key prompts the tablet to talk as if I have turned on assistive touch in the accessibility menu. Please help.

You can try MOBILE ODIN (if there is a version for your tab).
it's a variety of the classic odin but 4 device, created by the most great God that Android have may seen: Mr Chainfire.
Without him, the modding on android there were a dream.
Whit mobile odin you can flash an official firmware by recovery.
But only if there is a version for your tablet, i don't know.
It there will be the last chance.
Hello,
My brother has the Galaxy S7 SM-G930P. I tried installing the firmware (before you ask, yes, I did download the right firmware) from Sammobile to upgrade my brother's phone to Nougat, but after Odin failed to flash, my phone no longer boots into the OS and just gets stuck on the flashing Samsung logo endlessly.
When trying to boot into recovery (I followed this:
Turn off the phone.
Press and then hold the Home and Volume UP keys, then press and hold the Power key.
When the Samsung Galaxy S7 shows on the screen, release the Power key but continue holding the Home and Volume Up keys.
When the Android logo shows, you may release both keys and leave the phone be for about 30 to 60 seconds.
Using the Volume Down key, navigate through the options and highlight ‘wipe cache partition.’
Once highlighted, you may press the Power key to select it.
Now highlight the option ‘Yes’ using the Volume Down key and press the Power button to select it.
Wait until your phone is finished wiping the cache partition. Once completed, highlight ‘Reboot system now’ and press the Power key.
The phone will now reboot longer than usual.), it keeps doing the same thing. If I release the buttons, it gets stuck on the looping Samsung logo. If I continue holding them, it will keep saying that it is "Recovery Booting...".
I am at a loss on what to do. Any help is appreciated!
Are you flashing using any checkbox options in Odin? What version? Also was your correct firmware single flash file or 4_File?

Did you every get resolution? I tried to use the princecomsy version of odin to flash both this file and this file but I am getting the boot loop. Double checked the md5 and they downloaded good.
I can boot into download and I can boot into the stock recovery. I have wiped cache and data multiple times. Pretty sure I disabled everything with the BK disabler app and the phone was working fine after using that app to freeze a ton of packages. I have rooted multiple devices but this is the first time I have ran into issues. I don't care about knox or anything samsung, just want as close to vanilla android as I can get...but need root first .
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!!
For others, I ended up getting it back up and running. The bootloader needed updated thru odin. I used the nougat file at the top of this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s7/how-to/nougat-qaa-marshmallow-pl6-marshmallow-t3573135
Continuous boot loader flash on and off.

I Own the Samsung Galaxy S7 sm-g930v 7.0 baseband version g930vvru4bqk4. I had been trying every single app and method through the odin program when I finally found a precise set of instructions that allowed me to finally root the phone. After I had conformation of a passed root via the Odin menu, the phone immediately went into boot loader continuous flash. I found this thread after about four hours of trying every process I could try, and I tried it with success. Thank you bulsatar;74749127
