After flashing some ROM, I am having trouble because the phone is stuck in Samsung Galaxy IV logo.
First couple times I was able to boot to twrp and do a format, wipe, flash, then davik wipe. The problem is that I was able to restart and set up and update etc but if i restart the phone, it would stuck at boot logo.
So I flashed it again and installed GooManager and installed twrp again, tried to restart and it would just stuck at Samsung boot logo, I can't even get into recovery mode.
I tried using Odin and flash cwm but it would not boot into recovery mode.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'll try to flash it with stock ROM with ODIN going into download mode, but somehow I don't think that will work.
I'm using Canadian Rogers Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M
Please let me know if there is anything I can do
Boot to download mode (volume down+ home during boot) and Odin to stock MDJ firmware would be my suggestion. Give it a boot and then factory reset. If hangs on first boot, go into recovery (volume up+ home during boot) and factory reset via recovery. After phone boots install triangle away, reset counter, and then do the OTA update.
Finally got around to updating to the MG1 firmware last night and found that Odin directly to MG1 did not update the modem (baseband) and also left me with no Wi-Fi. The above steps applied the new modem and did not cause any Wi-Fi issues.
After update, to root just use the CF auto root for Canadian models with Odin then goo manager for custom recovery (twrp).

Boot to recovery & factory reset / clear caches
Actually my phone is stuck in recovery and unable log in recovery mode. I think problem is in the boot loader. Because if i flash any custom recovery odin shows success but there is no change in the knox counter.

Hi There,
I have just tried to flash my Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 when something went wrong during the process. Now the phone cannot even boot, just the boot screen appears containing the brand logo and freezes. If I try to start it in recovery mode "recovery booting..." text is appears above the brand logo and nothing happens.
How I came here?
1. Firstly I would like to flash my phone with Ubuntu Touch using Flashify app downloaded from Play Store. After the app said the flashing was successful (?) I restart my phone which never boot it again.
2. In this point, both of Android Recovery g3 and Odin mode was available. I tried restore my phone from Android Recovery using my backup, but the recovery stopped with Invalid signature error. (Same error is appeared when I select CyanogenMod 11.0 ROM from recovery.)
3. Using Odin 3.10.7 I tried install CWM Recovery 6.0.4.6. Odin said the flashing was successfully but then, when I tried to boot into recovery mode, only "recovery booting..." text is appears above the brand logo.
Now only the Odin mode can be started.
Can anybody help me to galvanize life into my lovely phone?
Thanks,
zokni

Hi, My Note 4 SM-N910G is stuck at bootloop. I'm not able to go into recovery mode, just download mode. Below are the things I have already tried:
Flashed twrp/cwm recovery
Flashed compatible rom using odin
Flashed using Samsung emergency mode
Flashed everything including pit using odin
Tried changing data cable/port and even odin version
I always get success status with odin but still not able to boot it up or enter recovery mode. Please suggest what can be done. Thanks in advance.
Do you have twrp? Can you boot unti it?

Hi there,
I'm experiencing a weird problem with my Galaxy S5 (SM-G901F, kccat6).
The device is boot looping in the "Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by android" screen.
When I turn it on it is about 7 seconds in this screen, turns off, vibrates and turns back on again and continues to loops in this state.
I've already tried flashing the stock rom (odin says pass, went to stock recovery and did a "factory reset"), installed TWRP and reformatted the partitions and tried to install LineageOS (device reboots in the flashing process). I'm not able to flash LineageOS, TWRP gives me sometimes the error "Failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)", I've tried mounting the partition with the "mount" option in TWRP and that seems to work but I get the same problem again.
I've copied the TWRP log file from /tmp/recovery.log: https://pastebin.com/7FX6TtEe
From what I can see the issue seems to be that /system is "Mount_Read_Only", althought I didn't say "keep system read-only" on the first start of TWRP. I've already tried reflashing TWRP a few times.
I'd grateful for any help

The only thing I can suggest is flashing the firmware & include the pit file

Thanks for the answer.
It helped me a bit. When I flash the stock firmware and pit file with odin the device boots up to the "SAMSUNG" screen (blue notification LED and pulsing samsung logo) but then hangs there and doesn't continue. After a while it resets and boots up to this stage and continues to boot loop.
When I enter the stock recovery and perform a "factory reset" and try to boot up the device it's back to the previous stage where it loops in the "Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by android" screen.
Any ideas?

Did you select reparation with pit file?
Make sure it's the correct pit file else you could hard brick the device

I'm using a SM-G901F DBT (germany), so I got the latest DBT firmware from sammobile: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s5/SM-G901F/DBT/
and the right pit file from sammobile: https://www.sammobile.com/forum/threads/30119-galaxy-S5-G900-and-variants-pit-files
my Odin settings: https://imgur.com/a/TfQ9p52
After flashing I get stuck on the "SAMSUNG" screen when booting the device up, when I pull out the battery, boot to the stock recovery and perform a "factory reset" as many people recommend and reboot, it returns to the inital state where it's looping in the "Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by android" screen.

I've tried it with this pit file, but the device just keeps power cycling in the "Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by android" screen. It doesn't even reach the "SAMSUNG" screen. With the pit file from sammobile it does reach the "SAMSUNG" screen but gets stuck then. :/

Try something a bit different - the pit files available may only work with older versions of Android for that device
Try this firmware (if you don't have a premium account Google it - I'm sure you can find it somewhere)
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s5/SM-G901F/BAL/download/G901FXXU1BOC4/45987/
With this pit
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3795955&d=1467017826
If it works you can try flashing the correct firmware without the pit
It's probably just a case of trying different things out

I don't have a sammobile premium membership so I got the firmware from: https://simunlockremote.com/galaxy-s-series-firmware/ (G901FXXU1BOC4_G901FBAL1BOC1_BAL).
When I try to flash the firmware with the pit file you recommended me I get the error "SECURE CHECK FAIL : PIT" on my device in the download mode and Odin says fail.
Currently I'm downloading the german version of the 5.0.2 firmware (G901FXXU1BPA2) and I'll try that with the the pit file from sammobile. The download will take quite a while because it's heavily throttled.

After endless hours of fiddling around with various firmwares I have it working now.
I've used:
- firmware: DTM Germany 4.4.4 (PDA: G901FXXU1ANI5 CSC: G901FDTM1AOA1)
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s5/SM-G901F/DTM/download/G901FXXU1ANI5/44676/
- pit: SM-G901F DTM (KCCAT6_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN200M.pit)
https://www.sammobile.com/forum/threads/30119-galaxy-S5-G900-and-variants-pit-files
It boots up into android 4.4.4. But when I perform a firmware upgrade with Samsung Kies to 6.0.1 it goes goes back to boot looping. When I try to flash LineageOS or restore a backup in TWRP the device reboots itself while installing in TWRP and starts to boot loop again.

Glad you found the right combo
swap a new battery in. eliminate the easiest causes first.
(had a few batteries causing boot loop on my SM-G900F before)

You could be right. I've tried running Antutu Benchmark on the device while it's on battery. It basically crashes instant and the phone reboots. I've tried it while the device is plugged into an outlet with the standard charger and it doesn't crash/randomly reboot.
Never thought somethink like that could cause that, but you've potentially proved me wrong
I'm going to order a replacement battery. Thanks!
I'm completly lost right now.
I bought a new battery but that doesn't seem to solve my problem.
I can flash the 4.4 DTM with PIT and the device boots up. It's super slow and lags, but for the most part it works.
With boot loop I mean the device is stuck in the "Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by android" screen and reboots after some time and gets stuck there again.
Kies: upgrade 4.4 to 6.0.1 => boot loop
Odin: flash 4.4, boot up, flash 6.0.1 => boot loop
Odin: flash 4.4, boot up, flash 6.0.1, flash TWRP, install LOS from TWRP (twrp-3.2.3-0-kccat6) => device restarts while flashing or boot loop
Odin: flash 4.4, boot up, flash 6.0.1 bootloader and modem, flash TWRP, install LOS from TWRP => boot loop
At some point I somehow got it to boot up into LOS 15.1 but in the setup process everything crashed and the device wasn't usable at all. After that the device rebooted itself and got stuck in the LOS boot animation. Another time a achived the same, but after it rebooted itself it got stuck in the "Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by android" screen again.
I appreciate any help thanks

You can try formatting every partition in twrp
Goto wipe
Advance wipe
Format the following
System - data - cache - art/delvik cache - internal storage
Go back & select wipe again but choose option on right hand side (not advanced wipe)
Reboot to recovery
Install from sd card or re-copy rom zips etc back to internal storage
With Linageos are you flashing gapps too?
For lineageos 15.1 use mind the gapps (arm)

I followed your instructions but I'm still stuck. Before I've only installed LOS 15.1, without gapps and nothing else. I've also tried it with the gapps you recommended but that also doesn't work.
I've discovered something weird: I followed this guide to extract the modem and bootloader from the stock firmware: [url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70452245&postcount=2[/URL]
4.4 bootloader + modem (DTM): I can flash LOS in TWRP without a problem (but doesn't boot up, boot loop)
6.0.1 bootloader + modem (DTM): TWRP reboots while flashing
6.0.1 bootloader + modem (DBT): TWRP reboots while flashing
From what I understand from the install instruction for LOS 15.1, the newer bootloader CQJ1 from the original 6.0.1 firmware is required.

Unfortunately I'm not able to do a OTA update. The device downloads an update to android 5, reboots, boots to recovery mode, installs the update, reboots and starts boot looping in the "Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by android" screen. After watching that for about 10 minutes I pull out the battery and try to boot to the stock recovery mode. The device then shows the screen "installing system update 25%". It never goes over 25%. At some point the device reboots itself and continues to boot loop. :\
