i have a SM-G900F currently on boot-loop, tried to flash a stock rom, odin says it was a success but now its still on boot loop , even tried wipe data.

Boot to recovery, factory reset
If it still fails, flash the stock ROM again, few people have had the same problem
First boot does take quite a while, so give it like 10-15 mins to boot

i cant seem flash the stock rom now,Secure Check fail :modem

Hi! I've opened a thread in general section about this problem. What about erase nand (with pit) and efs clear in odin?

well Firstly if any mod is kind enough to move this thread to the appropriate section please kindly do so,
im new to this device and im not sure how to do that process perhaps, if u could link me a tut to do it, im sure i cant give it a try..Thanks in advance

I don't know wich is the right section neither because it's an help request but not a question and it's in general interest because it concerns G900f partitions.
However if I remember correctly just need to thick "erase nand" and "efs phone clear" in odin and putting a g900f 16gb pit file for "repartition" to check.
If I remember correctly you will not use imei.

Serious help please

Well, I was screwing around with ODIN and flashing stock roms to try to unroot and get back to factory... Problem is, I can't flash CWM, when I do and try to go to recovery it does nothing. If I flash a .tar it will flash the retail recovery and allow me to go to it, but apparently I've lost access to the E: drive (internal storage). My guess is I may have repartitioned through ODIN and lost access. I cannot regain access to any recovery (anytime I flash it gives me nothing when I click recovery mode). i flash and flash the CWM tar even the retail tar, and nothing works. ive tried repartitioning again with the stock tar files... But to no avail. Please help. Thanks.
EDIT: its the 3G 10.1 7500.
Also, it will boot when I let it ODIN re-stock, but it asks for password. WTH?
I found this thread from thre samsung vibrant where people had same issue. It has the soultion but I need it for the p7500.

You have to do a wipe in recovery after you Odin a stock Rom to get rid of password. But as you are not able to access recovery I don't know how you will do it.
Also the questions should be asked in Q/A forum not in development section.

[Q] Bootloop even after changing ROM - problems with mounting /data

Hi guys,
I've got a problem. On Tuesday I was updating my apps on Google Play - I've updated some apps and started just to use them. One of them was popular messenger in Poland. Something's went wrong and my smarthphone freezed. I pulled out the battery after few minutes to prepare a 'soft reset', but it stucked on bootloop. I've tried to make a wipe /data, but it couldn't even mount /data, so I decided to change the ROM from networks' one to newest stock one (one file rom). Everything's went good, but it still stucks on bootloop on another boot animation. I've tried also repartitioning it using the stock rom with "totoro_0623.pit" - still the same. Wiping data after flashing didn't give any change.
When the phone was restarting after the last flash, they was written that /data can't be mounted (invalid arguments).
I don't know what should I do right now. Do you have any propositions for me?
Thanks in advance!
you can try with my firmeware
download
http://d-h.st/FhE
unzip the file
put phone into download mode
connect to pc
start odin
put the files in the following places in odin
pda in pda
modem in phone
csc in csc
begin flashing
do not remove the cable untill the phone has fully booted
it will enter stock recovery and flash csc and restart itself so leave cable connected
this firmware is a wipe pack so it should wipe all your partitions
if it fails you can try with the pit file but do not tick the repartition box in odin or you will be in trouble as you need to also include bootloader files for that

Thanks for reply.
Is it recognized as a stock rom? And the second question: what should I do when I have tick on 'repartition'? What changes will be done then? I thought it's just repartitioning and the bootloader is still the same, without any changes.

if you tick repartition it will wipe your boot partition and your phone wont be able to boot which is why you have to put bootloader files in
you dont need to repartition - in all the times iv flashed stock roms iv never had to do it
That link is for stock room firmware XXMI1 on baseband XXMC2 - its european firmware but will work on any gt-s5360 to get it working
You can always change to another baseband if you find you have no network by flashing a stock rom from your region
Sorry but I didn't have enough time to prepare it in this week. As I saw, I probably need also the bootloader files. Can somebody point me which one will be good? And another question: after changing bootloader the counter on downloading mode will be incremented?

Somebody who tried to repair this phone ticked 're-partition' in my case, but this pack has helped me a lot. Thank you guys, you're amazing.

[Q] Need help flashing a S4 bricks every time!

I have acquired an SHV-E330L and It was flashed in the wrong order. The newest rom was flashed without making sure it was done in the correct order. It will not flash with out destroying the partition on the phone. No matter if you try to flash Clockworks or a different rom it bricks and requires a PIT flash to recover. I need to re flash it because the current rom has glitches and the phone is not working well. Thanks in advance for any help. I just want it to flash correctly again. THANKS!!!!
Have you tried to flash any of Official firmwares?
What rom you had before and whitch one you tried to flash?
If you want to flash correctly then start from 0. Meaning do a factory reset from recovery, which will wipe the internal storage and everything.
Or flash that pit file.

Just go to the link above and start flashing all files including .Pit and Re-Partition!
Your device needs to be formated this time for that issue!

Thanks for the super quick response! I have the shv-e330l Korean TV phone same as the gt i9506 but this phone has aTV antenna on the top right. I just want to make sure the posted 9505 files will work with this chip set. Thanks!!!

Not sure I just acquired it from a buddy that messed it up. I got the rom from a link on this site. Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2587037 I had the newest file on the list in .zip but I did not have the steps so that rom on top was flashed to revive the device. Now I dont know how to fix it. I need the files and steps to flash it. Im still kinda learning this phone stuff I paint cars for a living lol...
I have done that and I just fails durring flash and simi-briks untill I flash the Pit file. Even if I try to flash Clockworks to the phone it fails and requires the .pit file once again to be usable. Im still learning this phone stuff so maybe I need a step by step for the dumb lol.....

Help before I break it....

Have S5 SM-G900F - 16GB with PhilZ Touch 6.26.2 and Clockworkmod V6.0.4.7
Was using XtreStoLite_ROM_v2.2_LP_XXU1BOD3 and Blaze.Kernel_ver15 that I installed through SD card and Recovery.
As my S7 has shipped (finally) I want the GF to have my old S5 but need THL (Thailand) system support (I.E. not just thai language but also on the system menus).
I downloaded what I thought was a ROM for this but at the end of Odin flash I had Bad EXT4 flash and on phone 'invalid ext image size is too big'
Reading through the thread someone stated you need the .PIT.
I have ALWAYS avoided these but tried the SM-G900F_pit_16GB file. Yes I need a slap, I know better.....
OK so here it is, I do not know if NAND is corrupt as I do not know the symptoms.
Also, if I only have a soft brick, what is the best approach for recovery / ROM flash ?
Do I always need to do it from SD card / Recovery using a .zip?
Current state of phone.
Seen in Odin.
Can go into download mode.
Can now go into Recovery mode after flashing philz_touch_6.26.2-klte.tar.md5 in Odin.
Reboot loop (obviously, not valid ROM on it now).
I am assuming all is good and it's not a BAD brick, but still have not had a successful flash.
Many thanks
Yes I don't have many posts because I have always searched and found answers, but this time I am a little unsure and don't want to royally screw it up.
Help is much appreciated.

Have you tried to flash a stock rom from sammobile ?

Yeah!
I tried various and get EXT4 file size incorrect errors.
It was the .PIT incident that was lead from that error.
I have since re-acquired the original de-oxed ROM and flashed that from .zip on SDcard.
All good now, I just thank god I didn't screw it up with a .PIT file.
I was lucky! Leave them files for the DEV's and ignore posts that suggest getting a .PIT file and trying that for .EXT4 partition errors.
Reading posts later, chances are that your getting that error because you have the wrong ROM to flash, having a hidden partition in the ROM, from someone like the UK EE provider.
Hope you remembered to disable reactivation lock during first boot
The reason the ROM was removed in the first place...

Thanks a lot for your answer. But I would like to ask, will "Nand Erase All" delete all the data on the phone??
Appreciate your time for answering.

Nand Erase All it's mean clean all internal storage, so when you flash using ODIN or else make sure you have backup of data. for more future information please read this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610757 :good:

At this moment I have no backup from my data, do I have any option (in my situation) to backup my data before Nand erase all??
And also, did I also need a PIT file to add to odin when flashing as SpamMachine discribed in 2nd post?? (I read somewhere that it is important to add a pit file...)
Thanks in advance

I think you have no chance to backup data. but if you have previously synchronized it may be possible to recover but maybe some data can not be recovered. flashing device with or without PIT file can be, but have you ever tried to flashing by using 4 types of firmware (full firmware) ? not a single one.
it's for the PIT file if you do not already have it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66358795&postcount=10
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24407100847294485 here is for repair firmware if you need it. I not provided this file, so credits goes to original hosted. :highfive:
