So i want to sell my s5 today and i had a custom rom installed. I downloaded a stock rom from samfirmware.com and flashed it with no problems in odin, but when it finished the phone would not boot and a blue text in the top right corner says booting into recovery... but it doesn't boot and i can't get into recovery manually, please help!
EDIT: I flashed the ROM again and it worked nvm...

Obviously you did have problems with your flash that you weren't even aware of, apparently resolved upon your second flash.
Glad that you eventually figured it out, but why not edit your post title so that people can see that you no longer require assistance?

I am in need of some help.
I recently installed a 4.3 rom Kangabean and the install went fine. However on first reboot, I got a yellow triangle warning me that the software was not authorized by att has been found on your phone.
Holding down power and volume down then get me the custom icon
So I am able to boot back the phone but cannot get into recovery.
The phone is MDL and the rom is supposed to be loki'd
How do I get rid of this crap and be able to reboot into recovery.
I'd Odin back to stock and start over.
yeah i think thats what I am going to do
man this is so weird.
Returned to stock. Rooted then went to install twrp. At reboot, bam custom icon. I cannot get into twrp at all
what the heck am I doing wrong?????

He can't get into recovery. The tar looks correct for Odin.
yes correct I cannot get into recovery. I flashed back to stock. Rooted then did goo manager and as soon as I rebooted into recovery I got the custom icon and it loads stock recovery..... WERIDNESS
ok update. After installing recovery like 5 times through goo it FINALLY boots to twrp
my question is this though, why after just reinstalling the stock firmware, rooting and then installing twrp is is showing a custom rom icon at start up????

I got it working now.. I think my phone not being in debugging mode fixed it. I had to do a total reset of my phone prior to fixing it though
Rooted the device with Odin. But couldn't for the life of me find a recovery for it. Flash a ton through Odin then final got a TWRP recovery to work.. When I wiped everything I was instructed to I tried to flash the rom I found (Bliss) I got a could not mount preload error.. And another error I can't recall. Then it just kept looping. So I ran the root file through Odin again.. And it now just boots straight to the Samsun logo and sits there until you hold power vol down (or up) and home till it switches to download or recovery. The TWRP is gone somehow and its stock again.
Hope this isn't confusing... I'll answer any questions and try any suggestion... PLEASE HELP

As far as I know there aren't any custom recoveries or roms working for your model number, so that's why nothing is working properly. Your only solution would appear to be to download the stock firmware and flash back to stock with Odin.

Thanks for the link! I'll do that as soon as I get home.
Do you know if there's any way to get a custom rom onto my tablet?

I started the flsh of the stock firmware...seems hung up...does it take very long time to load?... the status hasnt changed in like 5 minutes.
did you get twrp to work? Im trying to get that installed so I can use xposed on the same model I believe sm-t537r4 I have it currently rooted
Hello!
I currently have a Galaxy S4 i337 which had been running on Android Jellybean. I couldn't update with AT&T's official updater for some reason (It would always fail at around 30%) so I decided to go the custom recovery/ROM route instead.
My first searches brought me to various forum postings saying I should flash with LOKI. After attempting it, I realized it wouldn't work on my version of the phone (Apparently my phone was too new?) so I searched for more methods.
The next method I found was using the Goo Recovery app. Goo seems to have completely shut down, so that was a no as well.
When looking for Goo, I came across another app though, TWRP Recovery. With a bit of searching, this seemed to be another popular recovery method. I downloaded it and attempted to flash the latest TWRP recovery, and it just wouldn't boot into recovery mode when I pressed the button. "That's fine", I thought, and booted into recovery myself, only to be greeted by the annoying Android "Downloading..." logo and some warning about ODIN.
Next I tried CWM's ROM Manager app. "It uses the same type of flashing technique as TWRP's app, but maybe it will work" I thought. A few minutes later it said it was successfully flashed, and I could click okay to boot into recovery. One click later and my phone had restarted, and... I was greeted with the android "Downloading..." logo and the same warning about ODIN.
"Well that's a shame" I thought, and rebooted my phone, only to be greeted with that exact screen again.
Now each time I start my phone, it won't boot into Android, only that screen.
I think I've bricked my phone (Or at least soft bricked it? I'm not sure)
Could anyone help me resolve this? It went from what I thought would be a half hour flash-and-install to a multi-hour process resulting in what might be a bricked phone. If anyone has any tips on how to resolve my current issue of not being able to boot into stock android that would be great, and on top of that if anyone can instruct me on a working way to flash a custom recovery, that would be great.
Thanks!
Also, the exact text of the screen it's bringing me to:
Could not do normal boot.
ODIN MODE.
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: ENABLE

Download, unrar and flash via ODIN this FILE if you can boot your device in DOWNLOAD MODE.

Hi All,
I have read through quite a lot of your threads on how to root a Note 3 and am getting nowhere. I once had it rooted and had Phronesis V4.1 and was working fine till one day it wasn't recognizing my sim card, so i tried putting Phronesis V5 on and ever since have had trouble. First it didn't work so i went onto Sammobile and down loaded Baseband Version N9005XXUGBOJ1. And have got my note 3 working again but i cant root it for some reason, when i try to go into recovery it says not rooted. It puts me into some sort of recovery when i press volume up/power/and the bottom button but when i try to it comes up with an error message in Red : Failed to verify wholefile signature, signature verified failed. This of course happened when i did have root. Any help or pointing in the right direction would be appreciated .

Hi Audit13, Thanks for your reply. I cant put TWRP or any other recovery`s on, i put TWRP onto Odin and flashed it but it keeps reverting to the stock android recovery i have got on my device. At this precise moment i cant even get into stock recovery, i press the volume up/ power and home button whilst the Note 3 is off. It shows recovering into boot in blue and then set warranty bit: Recovery, but it just resets to starting up my phone. Also if i flash supersu will it work if i dont have a rooted device? tia

Hi tried that wiped phone and reinstalled original stock, rooted it then put TWRP on and now i`m on a contsant loop of Recovery booting: Recovery is not a seandroid Enforcing. Set warranty bit : recovery. any help please.
Try another recovery... That'll help you out
When flashing TWRP in Odin, do not check anything except f.reset time. Flash TWRP and, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable, remove battery, wait 5 seconds, replace battery, use the button combination to boot into recovery.
Thanks to everyone involved got it sorted, i am assuming i was using the wrong/or corrupt TWRP. Did what you kind people said and am back on Pronesis V5.
