I was running MF9 bootloader and stock rooted rom, with Philz recovery. Phone was working OK except for a weird thing with SMS's not registering on the phone. The phone spontaneously rebooted, but now it will only show the white Samsung logo on the black background before it powers back down. It doesn't make it to the yellow Sprint screen. To get it to restart, I have to pull the battery.
I have been able to get it into download mode by holding power and the down button. I can see the phone with Odin.
Next step? Flash recovery with Odin? Try flashing bootloader with Odin?
Thanks for any advice.

I had an AOKP rom on my sph-l720 and was working properly. Then I tried to install this stock rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486134
Somewhere around the time i was flashing the rom from within mobile odin, my phone stopped booting.
Now on boot i see the Samsung s4 logo screen then phone turns off. If I try to boot into recovery, i see the blue writing "Recovery Booting..." but then phone turns off again.
Can someone help me atleast get back to recovery so I can try flashing another rom and get my phone running properly again.
I can get into download mode and have tried flashing TWRP a few times with odin which says it PASSED then phone restarts and turns off again.
Anyone have any advice for me?
Thanks!
Personally, I think I would go into download mode and odin back to stock. Then if you want you can reroot and flash another recovery. Here is a link to really good post that probably has everything you need. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303917
Hey guys,
I have a rooted Note 3 from verizon on the hyperdrive rom. today I got a message from SUbinary (something like that) that there was an update and that I need to reboot to update. So I just clicked okay and my phone restarted. However since then I'm stuck in a boot loop with the blue message in the upper left corner saying "recovery loading.." with the note 3 white logo appearing. Then the phone vibrates twice and comes back to the same screen. I don't see the custom/lock picture like I used too. I've tried multiple times to take the battery out but no luck. I can't seem to actually enter the recovery panel at all. I've tried holding the home/power/volume up but it just starts the boot loops again. Not sure what to do. I just want to the phone to work but it seems like a hard brick?

If you soft brick then u can only access download mode and if you hard brick then you need an expert. The problem is that verizon and at&t have locked bootloaders. Safestrap recovery is usually used there.
Can you reflash safestrap recovery via Odin ?
This link might be helpful cause im not so used to safestrap only know the basics.

If you cant access the recovery and only download mode then you have soft brick and need to reflash stock firmware.
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
In my T-Mobile Galaxy S4, I am getting weird loot loop. When I power on the device, It shows Samsung logo, and then go black. When I connect to charger, It shows "charging" for one second and go black. When I try boot into recovery menu, it shows it for a split second and go black. The Only place where I can see the display is "downloading" mode. I managed to put in downloading mode and flash stock ROM twice using Odin, and it was completed successfully, but then when I try boot device, it shows Samsung logo and go black, the whole cycle repeats.
I couldn't understand what is the problem at all. The Display looks fine in "Odin" downloading mode, and since I reflashed firmware, I am going nuts trying to understand.
Please help.
Hi,
Re-flash stock firmware should fix this (I hope it).
Sent from my GT-I9500
Try flashing stock again but don't check anything except f.reset time. After flashing and you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, use button combination to boot to recovery, and perform a factory wipe.
Btw, the T-Mobile s4 forum is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile
So, I rooted and tried flashing the stock ROM (from Sammobile, same country, same exact model [SM-G950F], I already had the stock ROM and had never flashed anything else to the phone other than root, June security update, my phone had July's) to see if I could fix a problem that couldn't be fixed with any other method I had tried.
Everything in Odin seemed to go well, I got the PASS green box at the end. But then the phone couldn't go pass the Samsung logo when booting up. I left it quite a few minutes, before trying to boot into recovery mode and wiping data. Only to realize that I couldn't boot into recovery mode. In fact, I can't even turn the phone off. No combination of hardware keys works other than power button + bixby + vol down, to get into download mode. But that's of no use, because when I plug my phone into my PC (with the same cable and port I used before to root and flash the firmware into it) it is not recognized by Odin or the PC.
It just has the Samsung logo flashing slowly over and over because I can't turn the device off. By the time the battery dies out I'll most likely have the logo burnt into the display.
I also haven't been able to find any help online. Everyone's suggestion is “boot into recovery and wipe data”, but I can't do that.
Is my phone gone for good?
