My i9505 originally had I9505XXUFNB8 BTU firmware on it and was rooted using Chainfire's Auto Root.
The phone kept asking me to update the firmware so I decided to flash the stock firmware back on it using ODIN so that I could do so (I have read that you should never update via OTA if rooted).
When I flashed it using ODIN, upon boot up, the phone said that "Unfortunately, Touchwiz Home has stopped." I press OK but then I get another error message this time for Google Play Music (infinite loop).
I keep toggling between these two error messages, however they don't go away.
If I press the lock screen button, I can see the welcome message, the status bar etc. But soon as I swipe, the above error messages appear.
If I receive a phone call, the phone rings and goes to the answer / reject screen but I can't accept the call as the error message is in the way.
I have already tried factory reset via the recovery options boot menu, but to no avail.
I have flashed a new version of the ROM, I9505XXUFNB9 but still the same error. I then even tried rooting it again, but still the same issue.
Please help me.
Flash stock rom via odin go to recovery wipe data, cache can solve your problem. Or try before put your phone airplane mode it may help your stopped after that delete play music and clear systemui data.
No Luck

I have already tried the above, but I tried it again as per your instructions.
I flashed the stock rom via Odin (normal options selected just reset time and auto reboot). The device restarts and upgrades the system as per normal.
Before I even get to set the language a dialogue box appears saying that Google+ has stopped.
The Google+ dialogue box is now in an infinite loop.
Also, every time when I now turn it off and back on again, it goes through the upgrade screen but only for a few seconds.
I think my phone needs some sort of master reset.
You are saying wrong steps.
1- Flash stock firmware
2- Wait until phone boot
3- After boot volume up + home + power button and go in stock recovery mode ( not cwm or twrp )
4- Wipe data / cache
5- Done.
Will Try Now

I have got stock recovery mode.
So I have to clear the data / cache before it boots up with the stock firmware?
Still not working

Ok, so firmware was successfully uploading using ODIN.
Phone rebooted, I did the data and cache wipe (factory reset does them both at the same time).
I have now entered the setup screen, I waited for around 15 seconds, then the message appeared again "unfortunately, Google+ has stopped."
I press OK on this dialogue box, then I get another error "unfortunately, Google Play Music has stopped."
Then after pressing OK on this one, I get the Google+ one in a loop.
Should I try Philz Touch Recovery?

Thanks for your attempts to help me however after reading around, it appears that the phone needs to be rooted first before any custom recovery can be put on.

so i tried this it allowed me to get to the Samsung logo and this is where it has gotten
99% of the Odin problems are solved by using a different usb port and/or different usb cable.
Ps Did you use cf-auto root for rooting? That's the only rooting method that works. Because I never heared of cf auto-root causing those problems.

Well, you could try another solution that for others is risky but it's not, if you follow the steps carefully. Flash your correct firmware with odin 3.10 and check f reset time, auto reboot and Nand Erase All and Phone Bootloader Update. When flashing process is finished, the system will reboot to stock recovery and will appear an android repairing, after it it will reboot in Samsung startup but it will not boot, so you must boot to recovery with power+volup, wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache again. Then reboot and wait, it may take up to five or six minutes approx.
i leave attached an odin version that is woking fine.
I hope it helps.
regards
* at last, maybe obvious, check that the firmware is appropiate for your phone e.g. if your firmware is i9505XXXXX and your phone is i9500 or any other it will never boot.
Hi All,
I use SM-A510FD Galaxy A5 2016 as my daily Driver.
I rooted my phone and installed Xposed in it. Then i uninstalled some Stock Apps like Opera Max and all. After few days of usage(2 days to be particular), I am seeing that some of my apps crash suddenly and that the following error popps up: Unfortunately Phone has Stopped, Unfortunately ES File Explorer Has Stopped.
After I click OK it pops up again.
So in a wonderfully foolish step I uninstalled the Phone App and now the phone will not reboot.
I uninstalled Xposed but nothing helped. Finally after lots of research on XDA and otherwise I flashed The Stock Firmware for my Phone SM-A510FD.
It rebooted just as fine but now the same problem is there and is not resolved. Moreover if i Open some app like Play Books while i am getting the error, the popup of the error stops until i open the Phone app again. I opened my phone in Safe MOde and saw that the same problem is also there which means it is not caused by some third party apps. PLease help

from my point of view you only need to wipe to factory settings, flashing stock firmware doesn't wipe user data.. just try these scenarios based on your recovery type
If you're on TWRP
1. boot to recovery and just go to WIPE > Advanced Wipe, select all EXCEPT internal & external storage then wipe it
2. reboot to download mode
3. flash stock firmware
if you're on stock recovery
1. boot to recovery
2. wipe to factory format
3. reboot to system, if it does not boot go back to download mode & reflash stock firmware

Thanks for the help sir. But as mentioned i have already wiped the cache and dalvik plus i had also flashed the stock ROM. But the problem did not go away as it is not related to it.
Actually while giving some app access to storage or camera, i had to switch off screen overlays for all apps including the phone app. But the Phone app needs to have this as it requires this to ask for SIM 1/2. So after i gave the Phone app the screen overlay it is workinh just as fine.
Anyway thanks a lot.
My N910G that wont boot!
If I flash the latest TWRP I can access recovery mode and flash any ZIP however when the phone reboots after the installation of the new ROM, it always eventually gets suck on the NOTE 4 Logo after booting onto the Samsung Logo. I can access the the partitions in TWRP when I go to individually wipe them. I've noticed sometimes the phone doesn't remember when tick the checkbox for "dont show this message again" the first time you've booted into TRWP.
Things I've tried:
Full restore using the latest N910G firmware. (XSA-N910GDTS1DPH1-20160728112745)
Using the PIT file for a N910G and restoring the full original firmware
Clicking "NAND Erase All" in Odin and using the PIT file for a N910G and restoring the full original firmware.
Every time I do anyone of the above options the phone reboots then goes into stock recovery where it works for a little bit then restart and eventually gets stuck on the Samsung logo or reboots and gets stuck on the Note 4 Logo.
Any help would be MUCH MUCH appreciated, if anyone can help me get the phone working again I will gladly buy them one month to samsung-firmware.org or pay them the equivalent into palpay.

After installing a new Rom, remove and put back battery. Then go to Recovery and do Wipe data/factory reset and Wipe cache. Reboot and wait, it will take a few minutes before rebooting.
This will erase though all your previous data from your old Rom.

Thanks for your help I tired it on two different versions of Odin and every time it fails (from all my flashing on this phone this is the only time I've seen it fail). So we might be on the right track or the phone is beyond software repair

heres the premise on stock secure start up enabled . I disabled it and proceeded with rooting . installed twrp formatted system factory reset wiped system etc etc .. then I flashed rom when It booted it asked for secure start up as if I never disabled .. i put in the original code didnt work after 30 attempts encryption unsucessful ,, since then it boots straight to twrp .. now I found the problem ,,, system keeps unmounting itself ,, I tried every solutionvia the threads no avail . maybe need a kdz . i tried to repair system etc etc tried both twrp in mount system is always uncheked ,. if I check it flash rom and go back to mount . it will uncheck itself idk whats happening twrp acts as if the flash is succesful but system will be unchecked ...

sounds to me that you are in the twrp looping. If you already flashed a rom, do the following factory reset on twrp, go to reboot options. press power off (do not press the reboot one otherwise you will be back into twrp). After the phone is completely off, proceed to turn it on.
Now if this didnt work, erase cache, data, dalvik, system, and insternal storage, then flash the rom again, after is flashed, do a factory reset, after that go to the reboot options and press on turn off. then proceed to turn it on. IT should initialize normally.
Both of these have helped me to get out of the twrp looping

I rooted, modified build.props to bring back multiuser, and haven't done anything else. It's been working fine. This morning I woke to twrp and it won't boot back into normal phone. I even tried restoring from a previous backup, which finished successfully but when restarting, lands me back in twrp. I'll try the steps listed previously, though I though a restore did wipes...

Try this. When you are at TWRP, go to the reboot menu then press on power off (or turn off) instead of on reboot. Then turn on the device. It should work fine after that. I had that issue and after messing around for few minutes i found out this worked for me.

Sadly, didn't work. Not running a custom rom so after wiping everything tried a restore from backup. Powered off and back on. Just comes back into twrp.... :'( Oh, and like OP, if I go into mount, system is always unchecked. not sure if it should be but changing it just toggles back on reboot.

@Team DevDigitel has a guide
Sorry, didnt have time to fix it earlier. I just reflashed stock over my recovery. Lost root. Not sure ill reroot yet. Thanks for your suggestions though.
You just needed to do the power button plus volume down button startup to get to the factory reset procedure. You most likely had a system update downloaded to your internal memory that triggered the twrp loop. Many of us have been through this for hours and hours.
Literally takes a minute to fix.
I had rooted my phone by unlocking the bootloader using adb fastboot method, then flashing the TWRP revocery V2.8.7.0, and then flashing superSU v2.46.
After rebooting my yureka plus, and going to recovery it started cynogen recovery only, even though update cynogen recovery option was disabled.
So I flashed TWRP again and without rebooting again, just flashed crDroidAndroid-6.0.1-20160827-tomato.zip and GApps zip file from internal memory. The phone rebooted and worked fine after that..
but while playing a game the phone automatically rebooted and ever since have been stuck on Preparing to start.. Starting apps..
I had disabled the developer options because I thought it was working fine.
The phone is working behind the preparing to start screen.. I can hear the message notification and caller ringtone when someone messages or calls.
Any suggestions what I should do now? I have tried doing a factory reset from recovery but the problem persists.

Try flashing it with stock rom or simple wipe the whole system and cache from twrp from advance wipe option ( but backup first ) and again flash the custom rom u used previously.

It still opens in cyanogen recovery only, and there is no option for wiping dalvik cache or system. Since the usb debugging is of,f I cannot used cmd to flash twrp recovery again. By the way I still don't understand why twrp recovery is not loading.

I still have no idea why it got bricked. So after searching on google and youtube I came across this: https://androidmtk.com/download-yu-stock-rom-for-all-models . I followed the steps and now KitKat is running except launcher is not working, instead play store open's every time I try to go to home screen. So tried the nova launcher but that still doesn't work with home button, have to open through playstore->my apps, every time. But rest is working.
