SM-G900T (Tmobile) tried rooting and now wont boot! HELP PLEASE! - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I followed the guide here:
http://www.tomsguide.com/us/samsung-galaxy-s5-guide,review-2821-4.html
and used Odin and according to Odin3.07 everything should have gone right, but now my phone will not boot!
Please help.
I just wanted to root it to remove tmobile bloatware and now I don't have a phone.
I think the problem is that I recently updated to Tmobiles newest OTA update (maybe 5.11??) and I am guessing that this root does not work with it.
How can I get this sucker back up and running?

Please help!
Here is the output from Odin (log)

So no download mode ? or Recovery? Not booting as in? you hold the buttons and the phone does not start?
Do you feel a vibration?

I can get into download mode and recovery mode, I just don't know what to do.

Just download the latest stock firmware and flash using odin on download mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo.../compilation-s5-g900t-stock-firmware-t3042400
Make sure that you understand which version (you should flash the same one you were currently using ) you flash and follow the steps word for word.
EDIT: Keep the cable plugged into the computer until you have reached the boot animation. (just to be safe )
EDIT 2: you might get a boot loop so just format and clear cache. (you could probably get away with clearing the cache)

You the man!
I was downloading a firmware from SamMobile, but it was going to take 6 hours to get. Your link was only 30 minutes, and now my phone is back to its original state!
Sucks that I am not rooted (not sure if you can root 5.11) but I am sooooooooooo glad to have my phone back.
YES
Thanks!!

You can root 5.1.1. Though you have to have a patched kernel (G900W8). I usually just flash the recovery and move to different Roms.

SGS4 won't boot....

Hi guys,
My SGS4 won't boot anymore. At all.
I can (with difficulty) access my custom recovery menu (TWRP 2.5.1) and the download menu.
But whatever I'm trying to flash using ODIN from download menu, it fails! Whether it's the current ROM, official UK BTU ROM, stock recovery etc... So can't use Odin.
Can't put anything on the device either as I can't boot. When I use the "mount USB" from the TWRP menu, my PC doesn't recognize the phone so I can't put any ZIP on the phone that I could install from TWRP.
This happened when I used Triangle Away to reset the counter from 1 to 0....
I'm afraid my phone is bricked (although it's a temp phone and will be getting mine in 2 days), but I wanted to be sure that I didn't forget to do anything....
ANy ideas how to make this work pls?
thnx

one more thing, remove battery for a couple of minutes, then try with odin 1.85
All of these were really good ideas, but I'm afraid none of them work!
Same error message, it seems it can't write on the damn phone. I tried to reflash TWRP, the green bar went further but at the end, same thing, fails.

i dont know if flashing pit file along with the firmware will work
yeah that's exactly what I was thinking, after clickingon your "unroot, back to stock" link in your signature...
So can I flash the firmware + Pit at the same time or should I flash pit first and then the ROM?

pit file is flashed with the firmware. choose the right pit for your device! re-partition will be checked automatically when you select the pit file.
still doesn't work unfortunately, don't know what 's happening....
I flashed PIT file alone, it worked fine.
Tried to install anything else, it fails again, all the time...

almost you did everything.

If you haw acess t dawnload mod you are nhot bricked pleas go and try other pc
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
First, thanks for the info that if I can access the download mode, then the phone is not bricked, I didn't know that, so thanks.
And yes, you were both right, I plugged my phone into my laptop and it worked! THANK YOU.
So the next question is: What could be the issue on my PC? It's not Kies cause it's not installed, and I already uninstalled and reinstalled the Samsung Drivers....
thnx
this is surely NOT a mobile issue if you can enter into download mode.
i had the exact issue a month ago when i had note2.
if you can't try it on another pc, try :
1) uninstall skies completely
2) unisnstall usb drivers
3) reboot the pc
4) connect your s4 in download mode to your pc.
5) let your pc install freah usb drivers
6) start odin and flash
7) if still you get the same error download a different verison of the official rom and try flashing.
i followed the above procedure couple of times and was finally able to install the rom. the issue is either with the drivers or the rom.

expirienced exactly same situation with i9300. Able to get to recovery but failed to flash. Tryed everything on PC and on the phone itself. You have to try different odin versions, but in my case it was NAND failure. If you failed to flash PIT your phone is for sure bricked. Sorry.
Got mainboard replacement in my case.
Have you tried putting a rom on the sdcard with an adapter.. And then put it in the phone and flash the zip from recovery?

no but good idea. Actually all the flashing work now, but I still can't boot into the phone! This is madness...
before I couldn't flash anything. Now, I flashed the original BTU ROM, Stock recovery but can't boot into recovery anymore, can't boot into the OS, the only thing that works is the download mode.
Will try to get the phone to a repair thing. I'm gonna try with samsung repair centre first cause the right ROM is installed (original) and the counter is at zero so should be fine with warranty.

good luck at least i just thought it would work by doing it in recovery but yeah... warranty is better.. if not.. then keep trying if they wont replace it
ok I FINALLY could access the stock recovery, did a full wipe and everything is back in order now, works perfectly.
THANKS to all!

Galaxy S4 no image after samung screen

I was wiping data in the teamwin recovery, and when I boot now, there is no system, or if there is, I can't see it. It will boot up and show the Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500 logo, but black screen after that. What can I do?

Go back in recovery and flash a rom through adb sideload or flash a stock rom wirh Odin. Sideload how to http://teamw.in/ADBSideload, for how to use adb see itme 1 in my signature. Or turn off the phone, remove the external sdcard and place a rom on it and flash that in recovery.

pull battery,
put battery back in,
boot into odin using the physical keys (home+volume down+power),
then when it says press volume up to boot into odin, or volume down for cancel choose volume down.
Might boot up normally, i have the issue to where to recovery is messed up, all i need is the 'install-recovery.sh' but no one who has a rooted S4 running MF3 has responded to me yet..ill let you know if i fix the recovery that way.

At this point, I don't know if you'd be able to fix it that way. The only option that many users have been doing is going to best buy with a Samsung experience area and having them reflash the MF3 firmware.

Verizon Galaxy Note 3 bricked?

I think I may have bricked my phone, possibly a softbrick? I was using Odin3 v3.09 with Root de la vega for my Verizon Galaxy Note 3, Model SM-N900V. The tutorial I was using said it was for my phone, I followed all the instructions, and I got fail the first time using the stock cord that came with it so I tried again and used a regular usb 2.0 cord and got a fail the second time.

I am assuming I am going to need to flash the phone back to a stock firmware but I am not sure which one I should be using, or how to go about doing that exactly as well. I have rooted/unrooted phones in the past. I have also flashed my old phones as well, but I don't remember how to nor can I seem to figure it out with this phone. If someone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate the help. I am trying to put the HyperDrive ROM on my phone.
Update!
I came accross this method, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483380
I followed the instructions on flashing to stock with Odin and I didn't have any luck in getting it to work. I downloaded the MI9 tar.md5 file, and the pit file selected them in there proper spots in the program and ran it. I got this error.

This should be a easy fix. Enter recovery mode by powering down the phone then holding the home button, vol up and the power button. Hold down all three buttons until you see recovery booting on the top in blue. The phone will reboot into recovery and then scroll to wipe data/factory reset with the vol down key and then press the power button and wait until it completes the reset. Now you should be good to go again. This will wipe all data but you will have your phone back.

You might need to flash MJE instead of MI9 with Odin.

Do you know of anywhere that I can get that file, the link that is in the guide is saying its going to take like three days. It's only 1.3gbs so I don't see why.

Try this guide if you haven't already. I just tried and it said three hours not days. If it's slow try canceling and restarting it again. You might get a faster dl rate. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528707

No problem. Did you try to clear cache in recovery mode? If not give that a try and then the factory reset while you are waiting. You have nothing to loose at this point.

You use odin to flash the PIT (keep the default 3 boxes that are auto-checked when you select the PIT file). It is only a couple MB and will fix your phone up in a jiff. You can flash the PIT with odin when the screen with the two exclamation signs is on and the phone is connected via USB. This is where I got mine for the note 3 verizon, got mine just last week, which was january 26th or something. androidfilehost com / ? fid= 23159073880936457 so just remove all spaces from that and paste it into the omnibar and g2g!

You my friend, are a genius!!! I was crapping my pants thinking it was over. Thanks a bunch. And yes, it is a much, much faster download than that MJE that took forever to download.
Kudos again, my friend.
Still having issue with Samsung Write Protection

I was able to flash the PIT file with Odin like you said which enabled me to get back to recovery, but I am still having issues with the Samsung Write protection being enabled (which is preventing me from flashing anything with Safestrap including trying to fully wipe and restart). I found out after attempting to flash my verizon note 3 that the write protection was an option that needed to be unchecked on the phone before flashing. Now I can't change it without being able to login all the way into the phone. Are there any options out there to change the write feature outside of being able to actually load the phone, like ADB?

Looks similar to what I was getting from Odin. Did you have to uncheck the write protection in your phone settings before flashing anything? Someone told me that might be the cause of what happened with mine since I didn't even hear about doing so until I had already attempted to flash my phone.
im also getting a fail just after aboot. I originally attempted to install the deodex version on kitkat and originally was still able to access safestrap.
I have tried flashing every rom i can get my hands on over odin. ive tried making a recovery from my other note 3 via safestrap and swapping the micro sd over to this one. did not show up when i went to ss recover. so i booted to recovery cleared cache. still got aboot failed(auth) so i booted to recovery again and cleared everything except data. (including system) now i cant access SS any longer. get stuck on bootload screen or get verizon sofware assistant message. still unable to flash roms via oden i have tried everything but lollipop and odin versions 3.9 3.7 3.10
im am completely lost. im almost ready to ship it to someone to fix it for me.
I'm gonna bump this in the hopes someone sees it and can help me.

Before you started this...what version of android were you using? You must flash the last version you had running or higher.
Get the firmware from here
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N900V/
instructions are also there
You can also try having Verizon reflash it or at the Samsung section of your local best buy

thanks, im just jumping straight to 5.0 and hoping for the best. half hour left on the download. fingers crossed
*update* it seems the newer version was the answer for me... now to find a way to root it on lolipop... whole point was originally to get hyperdrive and get some headphone software worth using.

I bricked my Note because i didnt flash the kernel :(

Hey guys,
i tried to flash my note 4 using the openrecovery method
but i forgot to flash the kernel and now my phone is stuck in the booting at the Samsung symbol. Can someone please help? i can still get into the download mode
Thank you!!!
If you can access download mode, your phone is not bricked.
Simply download last firmware for your model from sammobile, and flash it with odin...
ok thanks, will do.
But how do I safely root the note 4 5.1.1? CF-Autoroot isnt compatible
Ok, I just finished download a stock rom for my phone (.tar.zip) but when I click start in Odin it always fails for some reason...<ID:0/003> Can't open the serial(COM) port.
Edit: tried a different port now it fails at:
<ID:0/003> sboot.bin
<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003> FAIL!
What can I do?
Does upgrading via Kies will result in losing all data?
I'm working on this issue for hours now but I'm stuck
Using Odin it will fail at sboot.bin
And kies doesnt recognize my note 4

Restore your backup in recovery
What is your exact model, G or F, what? You download the ROM from sammobile with your exact model no., and then flash.
It's N910H
I resolved it by recovering my phone via Kies though I lost all my data
Then I tried to install Xposed framework and now it's stuck in the bootloop again ...........
Never heard about the H version before! Anyway, make sure you are flashing the correct Xposed, that is Wanam's, but Arter's, and read the installation instructions closely.

Please, search before flash.
H model is with Exynos processor.
