In advance, I normally try to fix problems myself thus I dont post much, so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong area. I have already spent about three hours researching and trying to figure this out.
I've gotten sick of the loads of Verizon bloatware slowing down my phone, so I finally pulled the trigger to try safestrap. I'm using the ME7 build so that was the only option.
Safestrap installed without a problem. I flashed Hyperdrive successfully, but the ME7 modules available here would fail to flash even after I checked the MD5. I flashed from another source here successfully.
After all of this, when I boot the phone into that module, it will go to a black screen after the "safestrap enabled" logo. After about a minute, the phone will vibrate, show the Samsung logo, and then go into ODIN download mode.
The only thing I can do now is hold the volume down during start up. This loads a warning about how installing a custom OS will catch your phone on fire with a continue option (which results in the ODIN block), or a Cancel option (that restarts the phone and shows the safestrap logo before going to the black screen etc.) From this I can change the boot default to the stock OS if I choose, but I still cant use Hyperdrive. I have already tried deleting the ROM slot and starting over, but that didnt help.
Thank you so much for the help!
Edit: I tried bonestock and just got a black screen.
Edit 2: I also tried google edition and it would go to a black screen, restart, and loop again.
Hi guys first i want you to know that my english is bad...
My phone is G900K - SpaceX Rom 5.0
I am using SpaceX Rom 5.0 for weeks and it is buggy, i experience random boot,app crash,fast battery drain and freezes.
Yesterday i reboot my phone and after "Android is Starting" i got message that System Crash or System UI i am not sure what it is but it has System word in error report. Then my phone didn't start so i remove the battery and put it again. After pressing on the Power on Button my S5 starts and i notice the Blue Light in Upper Left didn't Light Up and my phone didn't boot to 2nd Samsung Logo. When i press Power On Button my S5 will turn on and 1st Samsung Logo will appear then It will Turn Off then Vibrates then goes back to 1st Samsung Logo it keeps repeating. Also i try Recovery Mode but i can't enter to it my phone will repeat the same process as i Turn On my phone. I can go to Download Mode, And i flash Stock Rom and after flashing Stock Rom there's a blue text in upper left Recovery Booting... but its not booting into recovery, It will just turn off again then vibrates then goes to 1st Samsung Logo.
If anyone experiencing the situation right now you can comment​
Same issue here. My phone is stuck at RECOVERY BOOTING. Is there anyone who can fix this issue? Thanks.
Boot to download mode (Vol down & Home & Power)
Flash stock ROM from sammobile .com with ODIN
Instructions under the download on their site
Go into download mode and do a firmware upgrade and initialisation through kies3. You will need your serial number and model number( on the white sticker behind the battery. in kies3 go tools> firmware upgrade and initialisation, then follow the on screen steps. I used this when I soft bricked my note 2 when I had it, I personally find it's the best way to restore a samsung device.
You should try first with kies3, it did help me to recover from custom ROM installation.
If it fails, flash stock with Odin3 from phone download mode is your last option.
I'm having the exact same issue! Been trying to flash the stockfirmware, but still stuck in recovery booting loop! Even trying to get into recovery mode has it looping. Kiess 3 says that my serial number is invalid, so matter which number I put in too. Hoping for some help!

Mine is the SM-G900W8 with Telus, so if we have the same model, I could probably give you my serial number cause I never had issues with mine. I know I have read places that sometime when people get stuck in recovery like that, they do a factory wipe and cache wipe in the stock recovery to get it to boot.
This same thing is happening with my s5 Verizon.. Need help to fix this i've tried flashing via odin, factory reseting..nothing worked
Can anybody help me please....thanks
So I was going through instagram like every other day when suddenly my phone boots and the boot just looped and looped... Then I made the hard decision of resetting my phone completely. Did cache wipe and data wipe and thought that it would work now but nope. Still in boot loop. Then when I got home I thought that I'm going to Odin and installing the stock ROM from this site. Then I continued to install the ROM, NEE version (since I live in Finland), and it got installed. Booted and looped. Looping and looping and looping right next to me. I tried using Samsung Kies but it was not doing anything when I was in download mode. Tried the emergency thing but nothing popped up to the list that it should have popped on. Don't know what I have done or what my phone has done. I didn't have root at the time it started the looping nor I have now and don't plan to get it again. Didn't have any other recovery than the stock recovery and have never used triangle away. Suggestions?
Using Odin, flash a rom with a pit file. That should repartition the phone and, hopefully, solve the issue.
I have a Note 3 (SM-N9005) running Lollipop 5.0 I tried to root (n900-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.0-kk(0812) via Odin. It PASSED) but couldn't get to custom recovery. It would only go to download mode with a message at the top of the screen saying "could not do normal boot". Tried re-flashing 3 times but still same result
So i re-flashed stock ROM with the idea to start again. Got a PASS according to Odin.
But now the phone mostly freezes at the Samsung boot screen and then shuts down. Occasionally it makes it all the way to starting but then shuts down again. Any ideas please??
Thanks
PS. I can get to stock recovery and download mode
It keeps popping up on the top left of the screen. I can still go on custom recovery but everytime I reboot, it just shows the S7 edge logo and the message on top left "could not do normal boot kernel length."
I tried formatting data but it didn't work. I don't really know what caused this problem. My phone was working fine until I turned it off. Please Help I'm stuck.

I have same problem did u figure out out hoe to fix?
Try flashing a different kernel or just flash a new stock firmware with Odin or with Smart Switch.
did u fix it yet i am also having the same problem?
plez let me know at [email protected]
or if anyone else has found a way plez feel free to contact me.
Here is the fix
The same thing happened to me after trying to flash the latest version of TWRP on my phone. When I rebooted I kept getting the message "Could not do normal boot invalid kernel length" and then the phone would turn itself off.
To fix it I just manually downloaded the .tar file for the previous version of TWRP for my phone model (the one I had before which I knew worked without any problems), and just flashed it using Odin (under the "AP" section) with the phone in download mode via USB. Rebooted and everything works fine again. There is NO NEED to re-flash the entire ROM and set everything up from scratch etc.
