A few weeks ago I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S5 (G900H) and flashed a custom ROM on it. But after a few weeks I reflashed the original 5.0 ROM. I then installed cwm and rerooted my phone but something didn't go well because it failed to open cwm 2 out of 3 times, some apps failed to recognize it as a rooted phone (because of improper root maybe) and even some Samsung features were having a trouble in running and my phone was lagging and hung, a lot. So I backed up all my data and decided to do a factory reset.
I went into recovery and pressed on wipe all data/cache but it hung up while formatting. After half an hour or so I pulled out the battery only to see that my phone was stuck on the Samsung logo on boot.
I can't reformat it again as it keeps on saying error mounting data. So I decided to flash it with pit and the android 4.4.4 but since I had my reactivation lock on and usb debugging off, I couldn't flash it with anything.
Please help me in getting out of this situation.

One thing i mentioned in TWRP under Mount it allways kiks out the System mount.
I tried to fix it for 8h now and cant find a way.. so i need Your help have you got any Idea what is wrong with my galaxy ?
thanks in afford
Hi guys,
So I've been playing with my S4 GT-I9505 since it was released , flashing different ROMS, customs recoveries and so on... It sometimes went bad, but I always was able to recover the phone because I could access Download Mode.
At the beginning of this week, I was testing an AOSP MM build for GS4 with TWRP 2.8.7.2 and F2FS. Since almost all of the apps weren't working, I decided to do a TWRP backup and restore from my TWRP of JDCTeam's 5.1.1 custom rom based on CM12.
I kinda made a mistake and decided to recovery my boot partition also. Phone booted up then couldn't boot system. Then the screen flashed weirdly, and went progressively yellow, with the samsung logo fading in the background. So I pulled the battery there, and rebooted. Phone couldn't boot recovery nor system. But I could enter Download Mode. So I decided to flash TWRP Recovery 2.8.7.2, but I still couldn't enter recovery.
Since, I've tried and flashed for 5 or 6 times a Stock ROM (5.0.1 ) through both Odin and Heimdall, with and without Auto-Reboot in order to make a Hard Reset after by pulling the battery, with and without Re-Partitioning with the PIT file.
The phone no longer says "set warranty bit: custom " and so, but still can't enter in recovery or system...
What do you think I should do? Send it to the after sales service (even if I got no warranty anymore)? Is there a secret trick?
PS: The last custom ROMs I flashed were quite particular (custom kernel, f2fs support (that I used)) and KIES does not seem to be able to help
I'm sending my phone in, so I needed to remove my root and TWRP. In TWRP I formatted data and wiped data, which resulted in having no OS installed. When exiting TWRP I get a message asking if I really want to exit without an OS. I've spent the last couple hours trying to flash over different GS5 stock roms using Odin, however I keep getting a "FAIL! (auth)" error after something about nand. Before this happened, I was running on 5.0 Lollipop, rooted. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
E: Just though I'd mention, when I try to boot my phone it gets stuck on the Samsung GS5 loading screen.
Hello All, i am almost new to this forum, i had bought my new SGS5 SM-G900H like 4-5 days ago, i had before a SGS4 i9500 witch i had similar problems and success and all things, i tried everything in android world, custom recovery, custom ROMs, flashing stocks ect..
The Very first step of playing in my SGS5 System was rooting it..
How i did that?
1. cf-auto-root
2. odin
3. bootloop
I was sure it was for my specific device.
Then i discovered that it was likely a wrong way of rooting it? since i watched a video on youtube and it showed flashing the supersu package via a custom recovery.. but how shall they flash a custom recovery without being rooted?
Afterwards like a miracle, i download kies 3 and plugged the phone to my laptop and launched kies, and alone the phone booted into recovery mode witch it have been stuck like 5 mins at SGS5 Logo..
What I've done later?
1. Wipe data/factory reset ( using custom rom )
2. rebooting, enjoying life saved
3. rooting the correct way by flashing supersu ( it actually worked )
I wanted to get back to the stock and wanted to permanently clean my device from being custom so i went to supersu app and chose option " permanent clean " something like that, and the phone rebooted..
i went to recovery mode to wipe data/factory reset again to fully clean the task, then i got my self stuck in boot recovery loading, it just showed up the SGS5 Logo witch freaked me..
i just went to odin and flashed the custom recovery ( hoping it will work ) everything passes in odin excepting the phone..
And from there, i am stuck till now with no recovery booting and no normal boot, only what can i do is go to download mode
Recently i am now downloading stock for my device to flash it soon..
i just wonder what i've done wrong, and help me for next time ( i would appreciate help tricks, small notifications..)
Thanks!
i also would like to know if i returned back to stock i'll be having back my recovery ?
Update : i left phone the night and came back and turned it on normally, he booted to recovery then i wiped and restarted and everything went ok.. damn i am getting pre-messed up by this phone..
now what should i do if i want to root the perfect way and have some custom recovery thing for 900H
Let me start by saying I've never modded a phone before so I'm extremely new. I followed a few how-to's on these forums (by rovo89) as well as videos on how to enable xposed installer on my Galaxy s5 G900i. I rooted it successfully, installed TWRP without any problems all using Odin, but then flashed the incorrect arm file, and when I restarted my phone it was stuck on the Samsung bootloop. I didnt download the uninstaller and my phone wasn't able to connect to Odin at that point. I did have a backup file however. I restored to my latest backup however my phone was still unable to boot, even after wiping cache and data files. In a mad rush, i did a complete factory reset and wiped off all of the files including the system, and obviously now when I try and boot i get the warning "No OS installed! are you sure you want to reboot?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, is there any way to remedy this situation or have I screwed up too bad. Apologies for my stupidity.
Edit: I should note that when my phone is in bootloop, it is recognised by Odin (Added!), however while it is in TWRP, it is not recognised (Removed!).
Download official rom for your device and flash it via odin
