I tried installing CM7 but accidentally downloaded and tried to flash an update. I can get into recovery and download mode but my phone can't get past the "Galaxy S" screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

flash stock 2.2.1 with odin and start over.
I updated CM10.2 this morning to the latest nightly and since have not been able to access the recovery or boot to android. I have tried flashing a new recovery and stock image using Odin3 v1.85 but have not had any results. Any recommendations as to what I can do to fix this?

First of all we need more information than this. For example, what files you downloaded and trying to use in odin and such and pics of odin error would mostly help us out more. Since you basically saying you cant boot to recovery nor you can odin back to stock. We get stumped and theres no way to help and just randomly telling you things to do. So the more info you can provide the better and faster solution we can provide you. Thanks

I am actually not getting any errors from Odin. Its just the fact that my phone will boot loop continuously. I've tried letting it sit for ~20 min but it just says Samsung. I have tried booting to the recovery but the phone will then just reboot and try loading the system which does not load past the Samsung boot animation. I have been trying to flash the following stock tar file:
L720VPUAMDC_L720SPTAMDC_L720VPUAMDC_HOME.tar.md5
as found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259513&highlight=odin
I have also tried flashing the TWRP version 2.6.1.0 and 2.6.0.0 tar files using Odin also without any luck.
Does this help?

Hello all.
I have a Japanese Note 3 N900D in Australia and I'm converting it over Australian Optus N9005
I've been looking at the exelent Universal Android Toolkit. I managed to sideload some apps but then something went wrong.
I only had what must be standard recovery. But I lost that and it would go into Download mode instead.
From download mode I can boot with Odin. I try and install any recovery, the phone rejects the recovery signature but boots back to the phone.
After trying to flash an N9005 ROM something flipped and it got stuck in download mode.
So I downloaded a Japanese ROM. Flashed that with Odin. That ROM was accepted by download and it rebooted OK.
Now I'm writing this up with my phone.
Next step it either a recovery or full Stock N9005 replacement ROM. Not sure which. Let me flip a coin and hopefully get back to you with more good news.

UPDATE: Conversion has not happened yet. There are a number of tools you need for the Docomo Note 3 to un bootloop it or unbrick it when things go wrong.
Stock ROM
TRWP
CF ROOT
Odin
Keep in mind that Odin does not work with .zip files. For those you must go into Recovery mode.
I'll try flashing an Optus ROM soon and report back the results. Perhaps it actually requires a JTAG to convert it...
So, I'm having a big problem with my S4 at the moment. After having some problems with several apps, being that I couldn't properly open, restore, or uninstall them (I think it has to do with Foldermount), I decided to format my external SD card, and perform a factory reset. Everything seemed like it was working well, and when it rebooted and asked if I wanted to repair root access, I said 'yes' (not sure if that has anything to do with the issue). Then, after some time, it went on with the boot up. However, it was stuck at the samsung logo. So, I tried to go into download mode, like people were suggesting. I held down UP volume, and the power button, but all this does for me is turn off the device. I can't seem to get into recovery mode to perform another reset, and I can't even get into download mode. Also, when I try to turn off my phone using the power button, while it's in the seemingly infinite boot up, it instantly turns back on. The only way I can turn it off is by removing the battery. So, any help would be greatly appreciated, I have no idea what to do. Thanks in advance
To get into download mode hold vol down, power, and home buttons. You might have to flash the stock firmware in Odin at this point. What recovery are you using?

Huh, well, download mode works. Could've sworn I'd already tried that combination. I guess I'll try using Odin. Sorry, what do you mean by 'what recovery'?
Update: Just tried the flash recovery with Odin. I think I did it right. I then went into recovery mode (turns out was doing it wrong), and cleared the caches, did another factory reset, then did the recovery reboot. Even after that, I still can't get past the infinite boot up load screen. Any suggestions? Thanks

What recovery are you trying to flash in Odin? And do you know what firmware version your device is on? my guess is that you're on a firmware version that you can't use a custom recovery other than safestrap. You're most likely going to have to flash the stock firmware in Odin to get your device to work.

I'm currently trying to find a proper download link for the stock firmware for my phone. My version is 4.4.2 by default. I was trying to flash the wrong recovery at first, and then I tried a clockworkmod touch recovery, which hasn't helped. Unfortunately, I can't find a legit download for the stock firmware. I337MVLUFNI2 – TLS, it's the name of the stock version of my phone, while using the latest 4.4.2

You have an i337m. Go to sammobile.com for the stock firmware.

Your not using the right stock firmware do as above said.
Hi everyone,
Sorry to bother you with this. I recently purchased a Samsung Note 4 (less than a month ago). I successfully rooted it and it worked fine. But today I was incredibly stupid and I tried to install TWRP on my phone. I followed the instructions on this site (which I can't link because I am a new user) and tried to install TWRP using flashify. However, something went wrong and now when I reboot my phone it goes into downloading mode with a green android and text that says "Downloading.. Do not turn off target".
Now every time I reboot it goes into this. I googled this and I tried
1. to click cancel on the download
Does not work, goes to green android screen anyways
2. to go into recovery mode
Does not work, goes to green android screen anyways
I cannot perform a factory reset because I cannot go into recovery mode. I don't know what to do. Is there any software from the PC that would allow me to reset my phone? Of course it would be ideal if I can get it working without resetting it but at this time I just want the phone to work...
If I take my phone to someone, will they be able to fix it? Please help.
Download Odin and the TWRP .tar file.
In Odin, click the AP button and select the TWRP .tar file. Then just flash it that way and it should work just fine.
If that doesn't work, download a full stock ROM from either Sammobile or one of the mirrors here and flash it the same way using Odin. The stock ROM is probably a .tar.md5 file. Don't extract it further and just select this file in Odin.
You might have to install the Samsung USB drivers for Odin to work.

Thank you. If I knew I could have just flashed TWRP in with Odin earlier, I would not have gone through all the trouble. Unfortunately, the method I chose made my phone stuck in downloading mode.
I downloaded the stock ROM and used Odin to install it. I was able to get out of download mode that way but then my phone got stuck in an endless reboot loop. But at that point I was able to access recovery mode again so I just gave my phone a factory reset. It works again now. (Hooray!!)
If I every do try to flash TWRP in again, do you know which version I should use?
Just use the newest one on the official TWRP website.
