S5 Stuck on samsung logo after flashing Philz recovery

This is the first time I'm rooting my phone. Process went smooth upto granting Super user excess to RashR (Flash Tool). And Download Philz Recovery Zip. After that I can only see Samsung Logo. Please Help!
PS: It's not going into Recovery Mode.

What S5 variant do you have and what version of Android are you running?

G900H. Lollipop. I used Odin with this file - CF-Auto-Root-k3g-k3gxx-smg900h.tar (the process I used for rooting). It has come out of boot sleep. When I'm trying to go into recovery mode, it gets stuck at Logo. My phone is working right now but doesn't go into recovery mode. Can you help me solve this? I want to try Marshmallow. Thanks!

make sure the MD5 hash matches, if you don't know how to hash MD5 look it up, if it fails just redownload the recovery tar because your download was corrupted

Try to flash TWRP recovery

Use ODIN to flash recovery, not some flash tool from G Play, it might have flashed the wrong version recovery
With ODIN, you do it manually, so if you flash the wrong version, it's because you didn't check it first, not because you let some random app do it for you

Hi,
Can you please refer a link which I can follow. I followed steps from a youtube video(with a good number of likes and views) which lead to this. I've zero experience in rooting and all. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Loads of guides kicking about here in the S5 forum
Basically grab TWRP 2.8.7.0 .TAR for your model S5, load it into the AP or PDA section of ODIN, put your phone in download mode (Vol down & Home & Power from a powered off state), connect phone to PC USB, make sure drivers are installed, then hit start on ODIN
It should start the flashing process, and say success once done

I tried using Odin and nothing happened. Tried using TWRP Manager. Getting this error - "Either you already have this recovery installed or another error has occured. Would you like to attempt rebooting to recovery now?"

What do you mean, nothing happened with ODIN?
Did you add the TWRP .TAR (Do not extract)?
Phone was in download mode?
Drivers were installed?
Could ODIN see the phone? Did it show the COM port at the top?

OK, a common problem
Uncheck the "Auto reboot" setting in ODIN
When it's finished flashing, unplug the phone and pull the battery out of the phone, replace it, and boot straight into recovery with vol up, Home and Power

Still Im facing same issue

Which recovery are you using ? The one from Nick Verse won't work with the secure bootloader of the latest Mashmallow updates , when I tried i could not boot into recovery using that one ...
The one from this thread is working perfectly for me at the moment :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/recovery-samsung-galaxy-j500f-t3416960

Try the twrp made by ganesh varma.

1-in odin Untick Auto reboot option.
2-After flushing twrp by Odin, remove the battery and insert it again .
3- press volume up+ home+power button to go to twrt.
4- install supersu.zip
I had this issue on j5h but after doing that i could root my phone.

Thanks Guys for your help..

Hmm.. nowadays some of the Marshmallow version are coming with locked bootloader.. may be because of that u are getting error.
In such case you need to flash each and every version of marshmallow Firmware and check whether it supports flashing twrp or not from the below link. If you are able to flash twrp or certain frimware, that means its bootloader is not locked.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-J500FN/
or simply try this firmware from below link:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/113125/J500FNXXU1BPK3_J500FNOXA1BPK3_PHE/
Dont forget to make ''on'' oem unlock and usb debugging from developer option.

This is perfect root tutorial in few minutes and everyone says it works

Ok so I think it's because it's a bug I put lollipop on and now it's all done their must be something wrong unless I have to flash marhmellow first ☺
