X-post from the noobies thread
While trying to install TWRP while I already had CWM, my phone is now in a boot loop at the Recovery Booting screen where "Recovery Booting" is at the top left in blue. I had been trying to install the GPE lollipop rom that was made for the spring galaxy s4. When I flashed TWRP from the app, it said it was successful. However, when it went to reboot it recovery it went into the boot loop. All help is appreciated, Thank You!
Edit: It now just stays at the Samsung Logo screen with the blue "Recovery Booting" at the top left.

It might be a little late but I had the same issue while attempting to mess with recoveries at work (no computer access). I managed to get my phone to boot by pulling the battery out and holding down the power, home, and volume down buttons while booting. When it gives you the custom OS warning press volume down to boot normally again. Hope this helps someone!
Now my problem is trying to get one recovery to boot when I get home. Wish me luck!
Hi all,
I have a UK N910F 32GB Snapdragon Note 4, with a custom Lollipop rom that I've been using with no problems for a few months (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-bob4-devbase-multi-csc-safe-bloat-t3033881). Yesterday the weirdness began - my Note 4 froze randomly in normal use and rebooted. It was then fine for around 5 hours, then froze again, and when it restarted it would continue to freeze on start-up. At that stage I could still boot into recovery (Clockwork Manager custom recovery), so I tried clearing cache and dalvik, which changed nothing. But now I am unable to do even that - it just gets stuck in bootloop and won't even go into recovery.
When I turn it on, it will stay on the Samsung splashscreen for 10 seconds, then reboot and vibrate twice, then go back onto splashscreen, reboots, etc. I need to remove the battery to stop this. The only thing I am able to do is boot into download mode, where the phone works with Odin fine, and I am able to flash successfully with Odin.
So far I have tried reflashing a stock UK 5.0.1 ROM - it initially gave me the ext4 error but I then got the N910F pit file and repartitioned - Odin flashing completed fine, then still got stuck on splashscreen with "Recovery booting...."). I have also tried to flash CWM and TWRP, which both flash fine, but then the phone still won't boot into recovery - I get:
#1 Battery in
#2 power on
#3 vibrate
#4 screen on RECOVERY BOOTING
Recovery is NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
and doesn't boot into recovery. I'm pretty sure I'm using the correct TWRP and CWM versions.
I've spent all day trawling XDA and the wider web with no luck. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I'm hoping it is a softbrick but cannot work out how to get it back. I don't care about losing any data at this stage, just keen to bring my Note 4 back to life!
TL;DR: phone will stay on bootloop when powered on - not caused by failed software install, just started happening randomly. Cannot boot into recovery. Download mode works and can flash with Odin, but all attempted flashes so far haven't helped even when Odin succeeds in flashing.

Have you tried flashing your variants cf-root file with auto reboot unchecked, let it Pass, remove USB abd battery, wait 30 seconds and reboot? Sounds weird.. i know, but for a while that put many users on 5.0.1 softbricks back to their previous working ROM.
I've just done that, it flashed successfully, I took battery and cable out and then rebooted after 30 seconds - it is now booting onto Samsung bootscreen, says:
RECOVERY BOOTING
Recovery is NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
Then reboots itself, same thing happens, reboots itself - back to a bootloop, but with the above written.
What's the fix for the above? Does it mean the recovery installed is wrong for the Android Rom version I have?
Thanks for your help so far, much appreciated.

If you can still boot into the download mode and want to boot into the system as normal, using Samsung's Smart Switch tool will work. Search Google for "Samsung Smart Switch" no quotes, install the program then after finished installing, in the application, click MORE at the Smart Switch window, then click Emergency software recovery and initialization, then follow on-screen steps.

Just tried that, same issue. When it boots after installation, it says "Recovery booting..." in top left corner, then goes into bootloop. Thanks for the tip though.
Any other ideas out on the grapevine? Or is it time for a return?
I'm having the same issue. Tried stock ANK4, BOB4 and BOC3. Only bootloops and can't reach recovery mode.
Than I tried TWRP 2.8.7.0 and "philz_touch_6.59.0-trlte" but they don't work either.
Don't know what to do now. Never had this issue before on any Samsung device
EDIT: Tried Samsung Smart Switch and it dowloaded PDA: OC3 / CSC: OB6 / PHONE: OC3 (DTM). But my Note bootloops furthermore
Saw 2 other guys with the same Problem and no solution here.
And I found this. This could be the same issue we are facing:

Hope there is a dev that can make this for our 910F
Hi all
This is now also happening to me...
Have Odind back to stock and it works for about 4 hours,
Then issue starts...
Reboots randomly
Then reboots to blank screen... No recovery
Again uk note 4. 910f
Hi,
I'm going crazy trying to root my new S5.
First thing I tried was CF-autoroot for SM-G900F kltedx. When the phone rebooted into recovery mode, there was samsung logo with a warning "recovery is not seandroid enforcing". It prevented any further action (including opening recovery menus). Everytime I tried to reboot, the phone displayed the same warning, making impossible to correctly boot the device.
I retook control of the phone by flashing the philz recovery. The phone rebooted normally, but without root (and without accessible recovery!).
Then I tried cwm, philz, twrp but none of them worked (same seandroid warning). Only stock recovery correctly flashes and boots.
What is the problem? I'm quite desperate at the moment
Thaks a lot for your help
P.S. = reactivation lock is off
hi, nobody has the answer? i'm quite desperate now :crying:
Heya
I followed a guide to download odin and CF auto Root-k3g-k3gxx-smg900h. I installed odin, booted into download and loaded the cf autoroot.
It takes a while before going to blue "RESET" and then my phone keeps showing the samsung logo.
After 2min Odin shows a green "PASS".
However I'm now stuck with a phone that won't boot and keeps showing the samsung logo.
I have tried the advice given in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2725939
Any advice would be appreciated.
After flashing with Odin did your recovery boot and do its thing, or did your phone reboot and just hanged on the Samsung screen? If the latter occurred, try repeat the entire Odin process again.
Heya.
I repeated the process, but while it says "Blue Reset" it's still sits at the samsung logo. The only way to then reboot is to take the battery out and put it back in. Then when I press vol up+pwr+home; nothing happens except the logo. No recovery mode.
The only thing that I seem to have access to is the Downloading.

Flash stock ROM again with ODIN
Don't use CF AR to root again, some phones just brick like that
Flash TWRP recovery, then SuperSU from TWRP instead
Hi all, so after trying to get rid of the FRP on my Galaxy S7 with Odin, I essentially bricked my phone and now it is stuck on a boot loop at first it was with the Samsung Logo screen, but I decided to screw up even more and now it is stuck on a boot loop that only displays "RECOVERY BOOTING" unable to get into the recovery it just sits there with the blue letters popping up. The files that I ended up flashing that bricked my phone were within this following thread just for reference. I was confused on what images to flash so I ended up flashing two of them a custom BOOT image and a RECOVERY image. Unable to succeed as the phone ended up on a boot loop. Any help is welcome. Thanks.

Try to reach odin download mode
Restart your phone using power home vol down and keep holding it until you reach the bootloader.
Hit OK to reach odin and flash Twrp version 3.2.2.0 hero2lte version.
Using odin 3.13 tick the ap box and flash the twrp recovery version 3.2.2.0 by pressing start.
Reach recovery by force starting power home vol down then immediately holding power home vol up to reach twrp.
even if you can't reach twrp you should be able to flash an official stock android os using the ap box in odin.
If your having bootloops it helps to flash only 1 check box at a time.
In short flash stock firmware then enable the oem unlock in developers options to disable the frp lock.
