Guys I have a G928C model which just received an OTA update of some 150MB. I can confirm that it is a fresh update which came today.
After updating I tried flashing custom recovery following the method mentioned on [HOW TO] Rooting Flashing Custom Recovery & Kernal thread. Odin fails to flash recovery, stock recovery remains. Other two images are of me trying to flash the older stock rom which gives another strange error.
Please help me out.
Did you enable the option oem unlock in developers options?
OEM unlock and usb debugging were on
MD5 of the files were ok? I assume you have the kernel/recovery specifically for your device.
No issues with MD5, kernel or recovery. Was running the device with custom recovery,kernel and root before i went back to stock and updated it OTA.
It is mentioned a few times that J5 is NOT downgradeable, so no chance to go back to you old rom!
and, if i remember right, it also has been mentioned that J5 blocks custom recovery! search in the general section!

To fix the boot loop just re-Flash stock ROM (but no root yet)
Then find & flash custom PERMISSIVE Kernel for your Note 4 type if you are still want to be rooted.

you are facing a locked bootloader as we all are (both exy and snap) the only solution to fix your bootloop is to install apps like phone info then find out what your phone PDA version is then find the exact PDA from Sammobile or if you you are Having an 910C flash latest COJ5 rom or if you are on 910H try installing COJ4 rom (just download and install the latest frimware from sammobile or ... and you will be just fine )
Hi,
I already have a same problem with you, but i can through this..
you just find the right Firmware, its mean the latest firmware, try to download from sammoblie.com and find firmware for N910K picked the latest one. or folow this link : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/58333/N910KKTU2COJ5_N910KKTC2COJ5_KTC/
after download you just flash via Odin.
goodluck

Please provide me some information regarding your problem:
How did you flash stock ROM?
What is the type of stock ROM that you flash?
Can you enter Download Mode / Odin Mode?
I tried to root my galaxy A7 5.0.2 lollipop. Odin said passed but something is wrong.
I'll keep things simple:
status: stuck at logo screen (boot loop)
"Recovery is seandroid enforcing"
"Set Warranty Bit: recovery" in the top of the screen
Recovery: no
Download mode: yes

Did u get the modem file in that firmware? If yes then flash it too with Odin. This might work to get the ota update.

No, go to Samsung updates.com or Sam Mobile and download a firmware for your phone. Firmware is an orginal "rom" for your device From Samsung, and flash it using odin. Your problem could be with the efs files, I had that issue Too with my note 3, you should always back up Your efs files.
Goodluck!
The rom on the phone is probably not compatible with the phone's current modem and or bootloader.
I recommend flashing the latest stock rom via Odin, make sur everything works, then install twrp and a custom rom.

There is a good chance that autoroot for 5.1.1 will works for 6.0.1
It happens with autoroot for 910H.
Or, you can just flash twrp using odin, flash bootloader using odin, and this rom using twrp.

You just need to follow the Install Instructions on respective threads to your Android version.
[RECOVERY][T.W.R.P-3.0.2.0]Samsung Galaxy J5 [Android 5.1.1]

Use this Odin https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=95375
You can follow this video to see how to install TWRP (ONLY)
Follow only the video instructions to install TWRP, do not use any other links or files
PS: most of the custom ROMs uses Lollypop firmware, i suggest to downgrade to Lollypop before install any custom ROM

Well you must READ carefully, your problem has solution. Don't forget when flashing twrp to uncheck auto reboot option from Odin, so after twrp flash with Odin you push out battery for 5 sec. and power on with buttons combo into recovery and twrp will ask you if you want to make this changes permanent, just swipe and you're done.?☺?

Its everything you should know about our device, pay attention your model j500f. And important you know the TWRP youre using, it differs when youre are with lollipop and marshmallow. I will suppose that youre on Marshmallow right now, so there are ROMs you can flash straight through twrp. If you wish to try Nougat ROMs, better downgrade as American Jesus States above. Remember to READ carefully, as many of your questions has been answered before. I prefer stable roms, less bugs than newer ones. Try first a ROM without downgrading like CM13 port by Zonik, or stock based ones, just to get confident on your skills, after this you can test downgrading, to taste the latest Nougat and others non-nougat roms that relies on Lollipop firmware. Take your time to first learn and know your device specs and you'll be fine. Hope this help you ???

You will use Odin to flash ONLY bootloader, if you flash modem you can loose your WiFi.
As youre in Marshmallow you will pick the Lollipop bootloader. You must pick the TWRP of Lollipop too to avoid incompatibilities with the changed bootloader . You follow the instructions sequencially First flash lollipop bootloader and without leave Odin you flash the Lollipop TWRP. American Jesus show you the thread above. And voil
