I used Mobil Odin and it did this to my phone. Tried download mode to no avail. Odin just keeps failing. Now i cant even get into din mode. Im lost now. I was on slimrom 4.4. Any help would be appreciated

Did you try to manually boot into odin mode? Also what tar file were you trying to Odin?

Yes tried it manually. It keeps going to that screen. I tried the original MDC tar and the original MK2 tar. Neither worked. I was on NAE before all this. Do I need that one?

I don't believe you can downgrade from MK2 or above.
What I would do is pull the battery, download latest NG2 tar from sammobile.
Load it into odin. put your phone's battery in and press+hold the power button and vol down button at the same time. Hopefully you will boot into download mode at this point. Then you can plug your phone into your pc via usb and flash stock rom.
If that fails, have you attempted using kies yet?

Ok so I flashed the NG2 firmware and it worked. Now I just can't get service. No calls or text? Any ideas?

Try reflashing the ng2 firmware. Make sure you get it from sammobile (or the xda thread that uses sammobile as the source) and double check the md5sum.
If you dont wanna go through all that you can try flashing the ng2 modem-only found in the stock roms thread of the development section. you gotta use odin for that. try a different slot if it doesn't work for you.
Is your software and firmware recognized under about phone menu of the settings?

This thread is gonna get moved to Q&A, but, before it does...
First, try to boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. If that doesn't work, you're probably going to need to flash a stock firmware via Mobile ODIN or the PC version of ODIN.
See the stickied thread with official firmwares in this section, then search XDA for how to flash via ODIN (I highly recommend Mobile ODIN). That should do the trick.
Steve
i have make all wipe but not change.i have flashed with odin 1.85 the stock firmware but is the same!
tell us a bit more detail how u flash and what u flash via odin
i have flashed the firmware P6800XXLA3 CSC ATO.with odin 1.85.but remainig in bootloop
Assuming that your download mode is fine
Can you enter recovery mode? What recovery. Stock or CWM?
If yes.. Your cache and dalvik need to be clean up..
When flashing with odin, Dont check repartition or use pit files, you dont need it except you know what to do..
I advise you to flash your machine with the following firmware ..... (see photo)

Have you done the Samsung stock recovery 3e data wipe/factory reset
And then reflash your stock firmware.
CWM data wipe or format is not good enough.
you might have to remove external sd card if 3e recovery goes to 'manual mode'.
i did exactly,but is the always the same:bootloop!!!is possible there is a virus?is possible to flash a firmware with Odin,with Bootloader and Pit?
excusme but i dont undestended the 3e recovery how i install.
my rooted GT7.7 with CWM also experience similar problem.
It stuck in the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7" screen for around 5 mins and go into animation then growing "SAMSUNG" logo for another 5 mins.
Then finally it boot up normally. 8'(

How to Unbrick Samsung Galaxy S4?

Hello
I'll cut to the chase already because I'm desperate, I bought a galaxy s4 yesterday and hated the rom that came with it, I decided to return the root and rom rom by google.
I followed this tutorial, my s4 is the GT-I9505 4G purchased at VIVO (and modified by vivo too)
I used this rom: https://mega.co.nz/#!Ug5H3ByL!Q6K1Ig41xsFAL5GS79SZVzR2rR8iNPSsR1CYodf7oog
I got here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272
At 10:40 of the video you can see that soon changes the logo s4 to the boot animation, I waited 30 minutes and nothing happened here, his is in seconds.
I read that-2.6.0.0 TWRP Recovery Mode could have caused the bootloop
I switched to TWRP 2.6.0.0-a modified version (one that I found to download) the-TWRP 2.5.0.2
I did wipes straights and choked install, over 16 minutes and nothing happened.
not sure anymore if I'm with bootloop or not, I saw a video of him and the screen flashes and lights, my stays on, so leave more than 30 minutes even?I left a few hours while sleeping (or at least tried) and continued at the boot
I can not access the phone by pc, how will a new rom on it?I installed the drivers that were recommended
Help me guys :crying:
and sorry for the horrible english, I'm translating the messages!
EDIT:
When I mount the sd recovery mode by:

I Flash Wrong rom (I9505_Omega_v17) to my Galaxy S4 I337 .. the phone get Samsung logo then black screen .. the Custom Recovery was Gone .. but the phone can boot to Original Recovery mode & download mode.
Help PLZ
i believe you can just flash back to stock using odin and download mode (hold volume down when booting) search on google for the correct files to flash with odin for the att i337. as long as you can get into download mode there is still hope.

Whenever I try to update using the system update it downloads the update and when it tries to install it bootloops my device which I unbrick using an odin file I found somewhere around here. I believe I may have uninstalled an important system file with titanium backup which is causing the softbrick or the root, either way will I be able to reflash the rom? Or is there another solution?

Yes it will affect it. It'll delete it. It will delete your device and return it to like new. But you should get some working device again

Great. Thanks once again.

I put my phone in a bootloop.

Yesterday I tried rooting my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge using Odin CF autoroot with no experience at all. I did something wrong. When it wouldn't work at first and kept giving an error and "FAIL!" message I tried checking for the correct firmware so I googled my model number and found the one for my phone and downloaded it. I'm not sure what I did but my phone is in a bootloop whenever I turn it on and I can't go to recover mode, only download mode. How do I reinstall the correct firmware?
Please help me fix this. Hopefully I won't have to go to a store for repair...
Well u simply
1) go to sammobile
2) find ur model
3) download the latest firmware
4) extract the firmware
5) put the phone in download mode
6) open odin
7) connect phone
8) upload the extracted files to odin into there respective places
9) flash
the phone will automatically reboot after flashing is complete
NOTE: just be sure to flash model specific firmware.
flash stock rom with odin or use samsung software to fully restore original firmware

If I find the correct firmware will it just overwrite or must I remove the current one? I honestly have no idea how this works.
I had this problem once, you need to flash them Individually, one checkbox at per flash. The way to root ur phone should be magisk manager or supersu. First off you need twrp which is 3.2.1.1 that auto root thing in Odin doesn't work. Some custom rooms already have options for root so if ur a beginner it's best u try them.
---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------
https://dl.twrp.me/hero2lte/twrp-3.2.1-1-hero2lte.img.tar.html
Flash this as ap it's a custom recovery that everyone uses here. Then use the keys power home vol down to force restart ur phone. Then power home vol up the moment it restarts to reach recovery. wipe everything then Flash a custom rom from the forums. I understand ur frustration that the phone has no way to turn off at all
When I try to flash the twrp-3.2.1-1-hero2lte.img.tar.md5 file Odin stops responding.
Don't flash Md5.
Flash the .tar file.
pingufanpoy said:

Flash the .tar file.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The non md5 download only has a recovery.img file which won't go into AP.
u flash it as a tar file not as the img file, you cant use .img files in odin
do not extract the img just flash the tar.
Btw in Odin the autoreboot and freset time don't matter they don't do anything because if you still don't have an os or recovery it will still send u to dl mode.
once u flash twrp it will automatically boot into recovery no need to hold keys. Then wipe ur phone and install either batman rom (an s8 port with Bixby) or superman rom (stock s7 edge firmware) both have customized installers that allow u to choose addons features and root.
U install custom roms by going to install button then selecting the zip. Also 2 main kernels that most people use are tgp kernel and superstock kernel.
dude, you're so smart, dont know what you're doing and you flash something without any knowledge and preparation...
that situation is fully on you
https://prnt.sc/iyosdg
I can't flash this.
https://prnt.sc/iyot25
Or this.
recovery.img comes in a .zip and nothing else is in it. If I don't extract it how do I flash it?? The .zip doesn't show up as an option in AP.

if u flashed it with a green pass, u should be able to boot into custom recovery
power home and volume down for force restart
when phone shows s7 logo, power home vol up to reach recovery
It hasn't flashed. It stays on file analysis for hours.
It does that if your phone is disconnected and reconnected. Download the official Samsung USB drivers.
https://samsung-usb-driver-for-mobile-phones.en.lo4d.com/download
http://prntscr.com/iz109e
I've installed the driver. How long should this take? It isn't saying disconnected.
Flashing a custom recovery should only take 10 seconds. Custom rom 10 minutes. What is the model of your phone check the back of ur phone.

G935P.
It stays on "File analysis." Does this mean I don't have the right driver? If so, how do I find it? I downloaded the one from the link you shared.

Use SM-G935V on ting mobile?

Have an old SM -G935V that I'm trying to use on ting mobile. Can anyone recommend a Rom that will work? VZW says device is unlocked but still has VZW app on it saying "sim card is not Verizon." Any help is greatly appreciated!

download the U firmware or Tmobile firmware for it
Thanks @jrkruse I downloaded and read through your EASY_ROOT_ROM post. Would following your EASY_ROOT_ROM steps be better or does that include more steps than I really need?
For the U or T-mobile firmware download, do you recommend a link? I found one on updato... takes forever for the free version. Thank You!

thats what you need but you may have to extract the pit file located in the CSC_OYM_**** file and load it in the pit tab in odin and flash it with the above firmware

Thanks for your help on this. Yes, the phone is currently on the B/11 bootloader.
I selected the appropriate BL, AP, CP, CSC (tried both HOME and not). Tried extracting the PIT file out and loading it separately like you suggested. Using PrinceCosmy ODIN v3.12. I only selected auto-reboot and F. Reset Time. Still fails. Should I try selecting any other on the ODIN options tab like BL update or Nand Erase All?
I tried an earlier G935U ROM w/out breaking out the PIT file and it failed too.

try using regular odin
Split out PIT from CSC which checks ‘re-partition’ option, loading BL, AP, CP, CSC:
Auto-reboot, F Reset Time and Phone bootloader update is also checked.
This is with regular odin. Not much on the error though.
At one point, I got an error on writing emmc_appsboot.mbn.lz4 from the BL. 'Write failed' was the error. Now the phone is stuck in a boot loop, unless in download mode.

Use this odin and maybe try a different cable also make sure the files are on your computer and not a storage device
Thank you! Switching the cable worked! I got so far down the rabbit hole, I forgot to check something like that.
