Perhaps you have downloaded and flashed the wrong version
of the custom recovery for your specific phone's model.
Be sure you download and flash the correct version.
My suggestion is to download and flash twrp recovery
for your phone's specific model.
Good luck!

[Q] Phone stuck in bootloop but stays on in download mode

I have a i9505.
My phone is stuck in a boot loop. The phone keeps restarting after the samsung logo for normal startup and for recovery. So recovery is also not working.
However phone is working fine in download mode and stays on for as long as I want. So this means that my power button is not at fault.
I have tried the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477 But this has not fixed my problem and phone is still stcuk in boot loop.
Please help.
Thank you

Try to flash the latest MD5.tar from here:https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/jflte/
After that your recovery should work fine. Flash it through odin3.09 selecting AP. If it don't work uncheck AutoReboot

He/She says that its stuck in a boot loop for both a normal and recovery boot... I think they should flash the original Samsung S4 firmware, then the custom recovery to be safe.
Grab an original android image from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ (matching your currently installed firmware/country), and flash it with ODIN as AP or PDA (depending on the version of ODIN you have), while the phone is in download mode. You may have to flash it twice in a row (I'm not sure why but it works for me).
Then you can flash a custom recovery and whatever rom you wish.

This is what I have been doing. I have flashed the firmware from samsung twice as well but no luck.
The recovery is not working either. Its just stuck in a boot loop

Hmm, that is weird...
I believe the only other thing to try is to flash in ODIN the partition layout (.pit) file as you might have corrupted it somehow... but I have never done this, so I can't give you any personal advice.
The .pit file is in that thread you linked, as the "I9505_pit file.zip" attachment. See Note 2 on what to do with it.
... Otherwise it sounds like its defective.

Galaxy s5 Sprint G900P - Soft bricked? Cycles on recovery mode, download mode works

Model: SM-G900P
I've tried every kind of rom flashing here, re-partitioning, recovery images, etc.
I really just want to get to the stock recovery mode with out the auto boot loop.
Please help.
What else do you need to know?
Try flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0 with ODIN, and boot into TWRP recovery
If you can get into TWRP, you have a very powerful recovery with a lot more options than stock, to try and get things working again before going back to 100% stock - if that's what you're aiming for

The flash seem to work via ODIN. See image below.
But it is still stuck in a boot loop for normal booting or for recovery mode.
Am I using Odin incorrectly??

A lot of newer S5s do the same thing (Except they usually boot back into stock recovery, but as yours isn't working, same thing)
Follow this guide (Using the correct version TWRP for your model S5)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64961009&postcount=2
You can ignore steps that are not relevant to flashing TWRP, or follow them all for a rooted phone (Apart from reactivation lock as you can't boot yet)

I followed these steps:
"3) boot into download mode.
4) Odin flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 (specifically this version).
5) DO NOT allow phone to boot, (uncheck auto reboot in odin and if necessary remove the battery as soon as the TWRP flash has completed) then.....
6) boot directly into recovery. (Vol +, Power & Home button combination)"
Although, they were not very specific....
To flash with odin, I used the AP button and did not let it auto reboot. Removed battery immediately. tried to reboot in recovery and saw the same issue.
I think I need all files.
BL
AP
CP
CSC
and possibly to re-partition with a PIT file
You say in the first post you have already repartitioned?
PIT file is for repartitioning
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2799613&d=1402839135
Extract to .pit, add to PIT section in ODIN, add ROM to AP section, flash both together
You can try older versions of ODIN for TWRP to, some people have success with version starting 3.07 > 3.10.7
I was able to do the PIT and the TWRP at the same time.
Although, my phone said "SECURE CHECK FAIL : pit" on the screen, it seemed to do everything.
But upon reboot to try to get to Recovery (power, home, Vol+), it no longer waits and reboots/recycles. It fails with a message that says "Could not do normal boot." and send me to Download mode.....
If I try to boot normally, I still get the boot loop....
I just used the PIT file I used last time and it's back to where I was when I started this post.
Endless reboot cycle...
Maybe the bootloader needs to be flashed?
Ok. My issue with the failing pit (and any other failures from Odin) was a combination of using a bad version of Odin or a bad version of the tar or pit files.
I am able to flash the latest stock rom g900p OK4 just fine.
I can flash twrp just fine as well.
But the boot loop cycle still remains.
I believe I know exactly what I need here and it's the stock OK4 boot loader.
Here's an Odin flashable OK4 bootloader for the G900P. https://mega.nz/#!9ItUDZ7C

Bootloader file was exactly what I was asking for. Thanks.
However, it did not solve the problem.
Boot loop cycle going on still after stock BL, Ap, PIT all flashed....
Any other suggestions ???? Please. From anyone?
I'm sorry to write in this old topic, but I want to know if you solved your problem, as I'm having the same trouble. Everytime I turn on the phone it stucks on bootloop, and after 5 to 10 cycles it starts. When trying to enter to Recovery it stucks on bootloop and never enters. I've tried with TWRP or Philz CWM but it just doesn't enter to recovery :'(

Get it in download mode (power down + volume down + home button), find the correct file which is to be flashed with odin (better try 2 different versions, if it doesn't boot with last one, try an older). Flash it with pc/odin. Phone is 99.9% ok, you just have to do everything right with the correct files, which means read alot. I have been in these situations many times..
Hi thanks but would you tell me how to find the correct files I'm kinda new to all these stuffs

Updated TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-galaxy-tab-4-lte-t3323064
In Odin did you uncheck the option called auto-reboot? You need to do this your first time installing twrp. Then when it's done installing, hold down home, vol+, and power which will boot you into twrp. Then you need to flash the latest supersu zip in twrp before booting up normally: https://download.chainfire.eu/964/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip

Stuck on Boot screen

Hi
I followed the guide on here to install TWRP on my S8 however for some reason I am stuck on the boot screen I cannot load into recovery I can go into Odin mode I was on the latest firmware G950FXXU1AQJ1
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance
re-flash stock rom again
You can just flash the recovery if you don't want to loose everything, if you need a flashable recovery image let me know. Your phones bootloader is most likely locked, same thing happend to my phone when I tried TWRP on it, turns out bootloader was locked.

As advised earlier before doing anything you need to make sure oem unlock is set to on in developer options.

Phones back to normal recovery would flash but would not boot into it by bootloader do you mean OEM?
One other thing, when I got twrp, I didn't want to flash a Rom at the time, I just wanted twrp and the official stock firmware, and I found it would not boot until I wiped data in twrp.
What's your phone model?
You can flash the OEM recovery, the reason I ask for your model is the fact that any USA snapdragon bootloader cannot be unlocked yet so you have no choice but to return to OEM recovery. If you give me your model I'll compile a file to flash that will reinstall your in stock recovery.
It really depends on your model because some you have to insure your bootloader is unlocked, while some varrients are just totally locked.
I can give you a file to return you to stock recovery if you need it.

Reflash you stock firmware but do not nand erase... I think all you should have to flash though is just the BL tar of the firmware....
Your Bl is locked and you cant just flash a recov .img Or at least I dont believe you can
