Hello..somedays back i tried to flash cm 12 available for my device..but after showing flashing complete successfully my mobile got stuck in odin mode...showing an error can't do normal boot..so i applied the stock rom..but the stock rom was 5.0.1 lollipop... It was an official update..now my phone works fine..except root..whenever i am trying to root it is rooting..but after rooting if i power off or reboot the phn...everything got crashed and force close.
Even my default launcher is also force closing (including each and every app)..
What should i do???plz help
?????
Don't have much knowledge about this but IMO you should factory reset your a5 and than try to flash stock rom again.
Wipe all partitions using twrp and flash stock rom again using odin..don't forget to backup your data
can you tell me how you rooted your device at first...............................................?

I think i bricked my s4. This is what i've done.
I had echoe illusion rom installed on my s4 and it worked fine but then i wanted to remove it to get a vanilla phone with a simple root. So i deleted cache and everything that you're suppose to do, and it worekd fine i had a vanilla phone with root, then i wanted to use gamekiller 2.6 but that wouldnt work unless i had a custom rom, so i download PAC rom and tried to flash that onto my device by installing zip from odin menu on the phone. it failed because there was a type error in the file and this made my phone brick, I get the message firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again.
what i've tried:
Flash a stock rom using odin (used 4 files, bootloader, pda, phone and csc) did not work it failed.
Re-root the phone. It passes but then it restarts and goes to the startup logo and stay there forever, i left it for half an hour and nothing happened.
flash a custom rom. doesn't work it fail.
use the recovery in kies, doesn't work i dont know what my number is.
I really need help with this as i have important things to do with my phone and i need it on ASAP!

If your phone gets download mode there is still a hope..
Reinstall samsung drivers on your pc again. restart it , change your data cable USB port (choice another port), try to flash... sometimes datacables and ports are tricky trolls.

#1: go to http://SamMobile.com and download the 1 file official firmware for your specific phone's model.(TAR.MD5)
#2: go into recovery and do a complete wipe including Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Data, System and
Dalvik cache.
#3: odin flash the original stock firmware which you downloaded from http://SamMobile.com
Doing that should fix the problems you are experiencing.
Good luck!
Hi.
I have a telecom new zealand i9505. I attempted to install a custom recovery but I'm not sure if it worked. I do have a recovery mode I can boot into but it doesn't have many options and I assume it's the stock Samsung recovery. My phone is currently running Android 4.3 but doesn't autoupdate bc I now have a modified the recovery.
Can someone suggest either
1. What stock rom should I flash to. Do I have to flash to another stock 4.3 rom using odin or can I flash a 4.4.3 rom? If I flash using odin can I use the autoupdate feature under settings?
2. Is there a fast stable rom that has built in auto updates without having to worry about flashing and backing up etc.
The reason I want to update is.
1. The phone is sometimes sluggish.
2. There was a Google update that caused a bug whereas every time I pah home button it askes which home screen and it will not remember the defaults and the ONLY solution was to uninstall the updates which means I don't have Google now anymore.
Thanks

have rooted s5 on 4.4.4 nk2. Have been trying to install custom roms via safestrap. Apparently i am missing a step. I wipe data, try to install twi5ted Lollipop on custom rom slot....blank screen for over 30 min after reboot, phone gets real hot, take battery out. Try to install on stock rom slot, reboot then get stuck in boot loop and keeps booting into system recovery. I then saw through my hours of searching to format instead of wipe....so i format then try to install, get stuck again, take battery out, get back to safestrap dash now when i try to wipe/format/or even restore my backup it says unable to mount system. When i click reboot system it says no OS installed. After reboot, my custom slot gets erased.
I was about to try an odin flash back to stock but some how was able to get my phone back to a system restore. Why can i not get anything installed? Do i have to have odin to do a custom rom install?????? i know every rom is different but wtf. I have seen multiple videos and threads of people flashing zip via safestrap and rebooting into new rom without flashing kernals via odin or safestrap after rom install.
Also...my phone will not let me download zip files (ex. cm12.1) says unable to create download folder....how close to F'in my phone up am i? I have successfully rooted all phones in the past...s5 is giving me hell!
I just tried installing rom after format, then flash nk2 kernel from odin, still gives boot loop....ive tried everything i have found..never this much problem with custom rom..
When you try to install twisted it needs lollipop firmware which is flashed on odin, and based on your statement it says you're on NK2, a kitkat firmware. Try flashing a stock ncg tar and rerouting, downloading apps, etc. on the phone to see if that works. Also, I noticed you mentioned a cm 12.1 zip not downloading which, while unrelated to your current problem, will cause a bootloop when flashed due to the locked bootloader on the S5, so it isn't a smart idea to even attempt an install.

thanks, i will try fresh from start ncg. so you have to be on the current kernel that you are flashing a rom for, whether its CM, Twi5ted, Alliance...etc i need to be on rooted 5.0 kernel then flash rom via safestrap?
i was having problems downloading from internet on phone, not downloading rom if thats what you thought i meant. I just tried installing zip for CM 12 via safestrap and got same issue. Phone reboots, goes to black screen and eventually heats up like crazy. .... I just noticed, after my restore ...again... it says safestrap disabled in red on the boot screen, why is that? it says installed and tried reinstalling.
FIXED
So i flashed ncg from odin on the messed up phone and got messed up worse. Ended up getting stuck on first boot image of samsung android s5 boot screen. Finally found original stock firmare file and used odin to complete install stock os and got rid of root. Now back to normal... luckily i figured it out my self! thanks to the 100's who viewed and didnt help and thanks to mrjiggywiggy for giving me some input to help out!
Hi,
I have searched these forums and i am surprised to see that i am possibly the only one with this issue. I have previously rooted and flashed custom roms on my note 3 (SM-N9005) without issue.
The last flash was back to stock 5.0. Now when i try to flash recovery with Odin it does pass then i reboot manually into recovery and i either get boot error odin mode or it just reboots. When i flash a stock firmware the phone does not wipe even if wipe partition in odin is ticked.
There are a few roms i'd love to try out but i'm stuck on the current stock as i cannot flash recovery on my device. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
It looks like you flashed something wrong which mada all these problems
Try to use kingroot or any other app for rooting other than the traditional method
Root it and use rashr flash tool from play store to install recovery
As the title says.... I'm trying to get everything back to close to stock
I have tried to install the file "I337MVLUGOC4_I337MOYAGOC4_I337MVLUGOC4_HOME.tar.md5" from sammobile, which is suppose to be the stock 5.0.1 Telus rom.
It installed and sorta worked, but at the welcome screen I am greeted with basically all the g-app services and such crashing repeatedly....
I have also tried installing "AOSP-5.1.1-20160410-jflte" with TWRP and it gives me a bootloop....
Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong??
EDIT: So, a second attempt at installing the stock rom worked. But now I'm running in to the no wifi issue.... Can't enable wifi
Flash any stock qb1 Canadian stock rom and perform a factory reset from stock recovery before letting the newly-flashed ROM boot for the first time.
