[Q] Need Help!!!!!! Phone Stuck at Samsung Logo

I am currently new to all this stuff so i dont have an exact idea what i was doing
First of all i rooted my Device I9500 Which had 5.0.1 Android
then i installed TWRP Recovery and then i was not able to backup any stuff to External SD Card so i installed some Boot.img which i exactly dont remember which i installed from watching any youtube video then later some problem occured It showed some error like "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" then i flashed Philz touch recovery which then worked and i was able to backup my data but i was not able to Boot into my Original ROM or couldnt see an option for that. Then i downloaded The Ozcan V6.3 ROM and tried installing it it succesfully installed but after that its not able to boot uo and stuck at SAMSUNG Logo Screen.
Please Help me What to DO !!!.
Thanks In Advance

If your device can still get into download mode, download the stock Android 5.x image for your device and flash it using Odin. That will get you back to square one so you can start over with rooting and installing the custom ROM.

I had the same problem on my gs4. It would only go to galaxy logo so I flashed the lollipop firmware via odin and all is well.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app

Just have to flash the default one with Odin ?
i also backed up my old data with philz to my sd card that also and i also downloaded a new Default 5.0.1 ROM ?
Which one should i flash ?
and whats the critera for finding ROMs leaving the model number ? (noob question)

Is the S4 unlocked? If not, what country are you in and what carrier do you have?

My Country is India and its the International Version I9500 and i am not pretty sure that it was unlocked or not .but it was rooted and recovery was installed
Added later :
I just installed recovery back and then tried to install ROM the ROM was also stuck on the Boot Loop I think my boot loader isnt unlocked and ima stuck there because of that

I9500 isnt bootloader locked. And u must be flashing the boot.img on other partition that not in the odin package. So u must search how to repartition ur device. But. U MUST VERY CAREFULL WITH REPARTITION OPTION! U MIGHT BRICK UR DEVICE IF U DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT U DOING!. And if u wanna flash recovery and boot.img or bootloader thing. U must ONLY flash for I9500 version!. And if u successfully repartition ur device. U will lose all internal storage too. Ok good luck

You would know if you were carrier unlocked as you'd be able to put a SIM from a different carrier into the S4 and have the device work. To get you the correct ROM we still need to know your carrier.

secure download : enabled
Hi my galaxy s4 gt i9500 is stuck in a bootloop. When is boot I get "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again"... when I boot into download mode I see "secure download : enabled" which wasn't usually there. Am trying to flash the pit file with twrp but Odin is failing.... is it because of the secure download enabled?? Please help me

You can't flash the PIT file with TWRP.
Do you have Odin? Do you have a copy of your stock ROM, downloaded either from Sammobile or samsung updates? If not, you'll need to get them. You then flash the firmware through Odin WITHOUT the PIT file. This should restore your device to operating condition. Afterward, you will of course need to root the S4 and flash a copy of TWRP to be able to install a custom ROM.

Carrier is Airtel

Cant Install CUSTOM ROMS (twrp Freezes/reboots Mid Flash)

Hi
Im having problems with putting a custom rom on my Note 3 N9005
First I want to mention I am new to all this (NEWBIE) but I have messed around with computers and flashing console for years
Second my phone came to me rooted noticed this when downloading root checker.
(Couldn't tell you anything about it)
So I decided to try put a custom rom on my device as the fact I have been stuck on 4.4.2 since I got the phone
I started by putting a custom recovery using Odin my first attempt was ClockworkMod recovery 6.0.4.8 though every time I tried to boot into recovery it would state "REVOVERY MODE" restart and boot normailly. so I Installed Twrp 3.0.0 and worked:good: boots into it fine made a back up of my rom then cleared system, archive and dalvik/art cache after this I go to install the custom zip file Lordwolf as it goes through the flash the loading bar freezes after saying
"starting armoa installer virsion 2.70rc2 "
"(C) 2013 by amarullz xda-developers"
then just restarts after freezing for about 4 seconds with nothing flashed on the phone.
I have tried a few rom to the same outcome there is no real error just freezes and reboots.
I have tried to look for answer spending a good hour and thats an under statment!!
what am I doing wrong? am I missing something important?

I am having same issue. Mine gets to the part "2013 xda dev.....", freezes in mid-flash and reboots. This has happened with some ROM's such as Touchwiz, darklord and temasek. However the Resurrection Remix worked fine, although I could not get the radio to start working. Any help????

Use TWRP below 3.
Root permission and Custom recovery (PhilZ Touch 6.48.4 or twrp-2.8.7.0) is required
TWRP recovery recommended, 2.8.7.0. Newer versions are not supported

Okay. First of all,you need to update from 4.4.2 to 5.0 official. To do this,open up Odin,go into Download mode and flash this https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/66272/N9005XXUGBPB1_N9005EVRGBPB1_EVR/ ... it's official Lollipop 5.0. This will update your bootloader and modem. After you are done flashing,flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 with Odin. After that feel free to flash anything
EDIT: Keep in mind,if you want to flash TW (TouchWiz) based ROMs you can't use TWRP higher than 2.8.7.0. TWRP 3.0 is not compatible with Samsung/TW ROMs. On the other hand,if you decide to flash CyanogenMod based ROM you can flash TWRP 3.0.2.1

You will find the most popular,stable SM-N9005 recovery is TWRP 2.8.7.0 - I would strongly suggest using this one. It is not only less bugs but also many others here use the same and is best for support/queries that arise.
Also, TWRP still offers online live support via freenode.

I've been running on OF1 for a minute and it's Bootloader is locked so I have to unlock everytime using ADB fastboot. As for TWRP I have 2.8.7.0. installed. Flashed like a charm, although I can't get my sms to work now (Aryamod 6.0.1.)

If you have N9005 your bootloader can't be locked. AT&T & Verizon locks their phone's bootloader.

I have a Verizon note 3, someone told me to upload my vzw note 3 with the n9005 firmware. Supposedly would fix my bootloader.

Also,SMS not working should be ROM problem. I personally never had it.

The Verizon note 3 has locked bootloader. Even if the bootloader was unlocked, you can't flash an n9005 bootloader to the Verizon note 3 as Odin won't allow that to happen.

Stuck in a never-ending bootloop after trying TWRP for SM N9005

My phone is a Samsung Note 3 SM-9005, currently it's stuck in an infinite bootloop even after removing the battery for an hour.
I get this message:
RECOVERY BOOTING ...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
... along with the Samsung SM-N9005 logo, a couple of beeps/buzzes and then it repeats ad infinitum.
Here's what I did over the last day to get to this sorry state of affairs:
1. Upgraded from Android 4.3 (the original operating system) to 5.0 using the Samsung N9005XXUGBOA5 ROM with Odin 3.12. This worked fine but the phone lost root.
2. I rooted the phone again using Odin and Chainfire Auto-Root. All good so far.
3. I installed TWRP (the official TWRP App 1.5, going by my records)
4. I flashed the latest custom recovery which would have been 3.0.x and this seemed to be fine. So far no problems.
5. I then got ideas above my lowly station, apparently. I wanted to flash one of the newer ROMs: [Rom][N7 Port][12.12.2016] [Multi-DPI] Phronesis Rom N7 v4.1 Feature Rich & Smooth
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...m-phronesis-mm-rom-v1-0-feature-rich-t3463244
6. In the instructions, it said to use TWRP recovery version 2.8.7. I found that and flashed it. (Yes, it was for the Samsung SM N9005).
7. I rebooted into recovery mode to make a backup with that 2.8.7 version.
8. Now I'm stuck in boot loop hell with ...
RECOVERY BOOTING ...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
... with the Samsung SM-N9005 logo, a couple of beeps/buzzes and so on (as stated above).
I've tried leaving the battery out for an extended period and this hasn't worked. The phone never gets to the stage where I can talk to it with Odin or get any kind of menu. Is the phone truly bricked now?
If so, was it a critical error to go from the 3.0.x TWRP recovery back to 2.8.7 for the purposes of this custom ROM upgrade?
If not, what can be done to regain control of the phone?
This is obviously an older phone as I've had it for about 3 years now, but I'd love to get it working again if possible. I really loved it and was planning to use it for a couple more years (hence the upgrade path I've explained above).

Can you boot into download mode? I suspect you flash the 4.3 version of twrp, you need a 4.4 version. This one https://dl.twrp.me/hlte/twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img.tar.html
Boot into download mode and flash it with odin.

I suggest flashing the latest stock ROM, flash the latest tar version of twrp with Odin, root with supersu.zip in twrp.

Stonedead, you were right on the money. I did what you suggested (Download mode) and that different TWRP file, and it worked.
Thanks so much.
Thanks audit13 also, although I didn't need to go that far to undo my mistake.

I got the same problem with my note 3. Thank you for the solution. Now how do I exactly get TWRP working on my phone. It is already rooted.

See TWRP thread.
Basics flash twrp tar through odin

Root is not needed to install the tar version of TWRP with Odin.

Thanks. Managed to get twrp working now. Also installed the note 8 Rom

Hi ok im having the same problem kinda follow the installation as posted,so i have note 3 sm-n9005 stock rom,root and replaced twrp 4.3 for 4.4 to install phronesis n7 v7 for note 3 followed all instructed then rebooted went to samsung boot then booted to twrp recovery ive been on it all day thinking what da hell ive done wrong?can someone instruct me of what i did or didnt do or have i completely mess stuff up?cheers anyone.

Hi JJEgan,thank you for the reply back much appreciated for your time so far,so do you mean twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-eu.tar file?and not twrp 2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4 img.tar file?that's the one I am using to flash the rom with and having problems with.

Hi there again ok im so confused not sure which one,there are so many of the 2.8.7.0 versions with 4.3 or 4.4-img.tar im not sure if im downloading 4.4 or 4.3 as im still a noob and love tech,I have read threads upon this rom problems still can't get the grasp of the simple twrp version I have lte au version android 5,and when I read 2.8.7.0 im think is it 4.4 4.3 or just 2.8.7.0 tar file?I'm following the installation up into the problem of not booting up in stays In galaxy note 3 boot and I have removed the battery 5mi z replaced then recovery and factory reset then it does the same again and I have tried 3 times waited longer each time im thinking maybe go back to stock I don't think my phone is agreeing with me,jjEgan thanks for the info amd time im sorry if annoy you with a simple installation to you,still I have read and grasp the concept of twrp installer version yeah??

Only use 2.8.70 as said later versions wont flash that rom.

S5 Prime SM-G906K ODIN FAILED after ROOTING and Twrp Installation Need Expert Opinion

Hi guys i need expert opinions as i am worried about my device. I have S5 Prime G906K with Marshmallow installed. The set is super fine. I wanted to root and flash custom recovery my S5 Prime. I followed the direction of Kyntik (recognized developer of TWRP for my G906 Device). The procedure was successful. Set rooted and recovery installed but two major issues which appeared were:
1) I tried to flash stock Samsung firmware for my model from Sammobile with latest provided ODIN on their site. ODIN failed and i was unable to boot. i tried to boot in recovery but it said UPDATE INTERRUPTED Try Kies etc. I tried again but ODIN Failed when writing System.imge. I tried it around 5 to 6 time and SUDDENLY entire .md5 file was flashed. I dont know what was worng? Have you guys ever faced this issue? if so what was your loophole how you managed to get out of it? Is it me or others have faced it if so tell me the possible reasons where i was wrong? I am asking this because i love trying different roms cooked for our devices but i am scared now.
2) After i rooted and installed twrp on my handset, it always displayed a yellow message on top left corner which said "SET BIT WARRANTY:KERNAL" And when i tried to boot recovery message used to be "SET WARRANTY BIT:RECOVERY.
Whats going on here? I have come back to samsung after 3 years of enjoying LG so i dont much about recent changes. Your opinions will clearify my in :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Thank you but this was my method and as i mentioned i followed the procedure of Kyntik. I had no problem after installing twrp and getting rooted. Only problem i faced was while flashing stock firmware again now m confused was it caused by custom recovery or this was random error. fortunately ODIN flashed my set after trying it 8 times its working perfectly on stock. but i want custom roms thats why m cautious

Samsung Galaxy S5 Active sm-g870a Help

Hello!
I apologize if this isn't the right place to ask, but I haven't found a section for a Samsung Galaxy S5 Active!
I am a complete newbie and haven't flashed to my phone since I had a Samsung Galaxy S3 back in 2018. In this case, I'm trying to find a root and install twrp recovery, so I can install lineageOS on my phone. The stock rom is so laggy!
My phone's recovery won't let me just install lineageOS, so I have to install a custom recovery.
So far, all the one-click roots haven't worked. Towelroot, kingsroot, oneclickroot, all failed.
The official twrp recovery didn't work either and did not give me a compatible rom.
I tried to locate an unofficial twrp recovery compatible with my device, and I think I found one. The issue is that it odin does not flash a .img file.
I'm going to try this method of downgrading the stock rom.
EDIT: Doing this gives me a SW REV CHECK FAIL: [aboot] Fused 2 > Binary 1
Trying this now: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-g870a-downgrade-s5-active-mm6-0-lp5-0.3523683/
EDIT: unsuccessful. Soft brick of OS; need to flash again or try something else...I tried to leave the phone out all night, but it never got past boot screen.
EDIT2: tired again and somewhat successful. Samsung boot screen is different and so is the boot recovery! The darn phone still won't boot though!!
EDIT3: Had to reboot the phone 3 times and got the android is upgrading screen...YAY!! But, the system process.media fails randomly.
Any tips? If I could just get twrp on, that would fix everything! Thank you!!
Found a supposedly compatible twrp here: https://dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-3.5.2_9-0-klte.img.tar.html
Issue is odin fails when flashing...I am getting the auth error!!
One of the few usable recoveries: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...estrap-recovery-v3-75-2014-06-26-b03.2794087/

Hi, I am also looking to put LineageOS on my device as well.
The most I have found so far is the S5 Active (SM-G870A) has an OEM locked bootloader, and without unlocking it a custom recovery is not available.
AT&T, nor Samsung have provided any way to unlock the bootloader as far as I know, and I'm not sure if any developers are still working to crack it.
