Ohh, where to start. Ok so first off let me apologize in advance if this has already
been posted but I’m a noob when it comes top posting in the forums. Been using
them for years to fix my problems just new to posting. Anyway, a few nights ago I
tried to flash the newest version of the T-Mobile AOKP rom (Kit Kat 4.2.2) onto my
AT&T I337 Samsung Galaxy S4 via the latest version of TWRP recovery. After
attempting to flash AOKP, TWRP failed the flash and had an error message that said
something about the phone not being able to flash a T-Mobile rom on an AT&T
phone. I then tried to flash the AOKP rom again and mistakenly flashed the Loki
kernel instead. I was currently running Cyanogenmod 11. After the Loki kernel
attempted to flash, it once again said failed and gave me a message that said
something about me losing root and asking if I wanted to reinstall superuser. I
agreed to reinstall superuser and used the option to reboot my phone once it was
complete. But….once the phone attempted to reboot my screen went black and all
my phone would do is vibrate every two to three seconds with a blank screen. I
pulled the battery, tried to put it in recovery mode, and download mode but nothing
worked at all. It wouldn’t charge, no battery icon, no LED. After messing with it for a
few hours and randomly pushing buttons I finally got it to go into download mode. I
was so happy. I decided I would flash (Odin) a stock firmware that I had already had
and used plenty of times. But…after flashing Odin would say complete and pass but
when my phone would reboot it done the same thing as before. Black screen and
vibrates every two to three seconds wont charge, no battery icon, no LED, still won’t
go into recovery mode but will still go into download mode. I’ve used every version
of Odin, used different USB ports, different USB cords, reflashed the stock at least
20 times now and still nothing. What have I done and how could I fix this issue. :crying:
Ohhh and before I forget, It may be worth mentioning that when I finally got it in
download mode I noticed it said that I had the stock Samsung firmware, where it
usually says custom when rooted.
I'm assuming you're on MDL firmware. If so Odin flash the stock firmware. You can get it at sammobile.com
You're probably hosed though, sounds like you've tried all this.
Doesn't work

First observation: nothing here says that he fixed it. If he did, which may not have happened, then he obviously didn't tell us.
I wonder if you really have the same issue. Did you read through the OP? Did your phone get where it is by doing the exact same sequence that he did? If not, and you want someone to help, you will need to give a detailed description of everything that led up to the issue you have, from the time the phone was operating normally. It would also be helpful to know what your phone was running before this happened.

My phone just suddenly stopped working earlier today.it was running the latest omega rom with the latest modem and boot loader. ...
I cant get into recovery either. When I try it just reboots and goes to the samsung boot screen.my phone is a sim free insurance replacement and im not sure what stock rom to flash...
Could some nice soul just tell me the exact rom thats needed.
Its a uk based I9505 .
Please some one help as im away from home atm and have no way of contacting anyone.i have laptop and a dongle so can at least download and flash.
What ever has happened has corrupted it somehow.
I can still get into download mode how ever.
Id be eternally grateful if there is some nice soul to.help me
Just download and flash this with the latest Odin. Boot in download mode.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=33356
This is the latest German FW that Omega is based. It has the "OXA" Multi-CSC, which also includes BTU (United Kingdom)
After flash you will not have any problem retrieving all your data, as long as you don't factory reset.

If it remains on the Samsung boot logo, then try to flash the same firmware with the .pit file and "Re-Partition" flag checked in Odin.
If still doesn't boot, then you have to enter recovery mode to wipe data/factory reset the device

If anyone can point me in the right direction id be eternally grateful.
Or even a older one than i could then OTA update?
I am newb to android world.
I have Samsung Note 3 SM-N900.
1. Succesfully installed lollipop 5.0 on this phone after reading for a week on this site.
2. Was planning to root the phone, followed instructions from here:
CF-Auto-Root is pretty much only method for Lollipop at the moment. Yes, it does trigger the KNOX Warranty Void flag though, look it up if you want to know what it means (voids warranty in certain regions apparently, definitely not in EU).
Instructions are in the first post of the CF-Auto-Root topic - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2466423

Phone was rooted properly, checked from Chainfire su https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en
3. Installed Rom Manager PRO, was trying a custom rom boot animation, which warned but I tried anyway and now phone will not boot.
I am getting series of errors:
Unfortunately Gallery has stopped
Unfortunately text-to-speech engine has stopped
Unfortunately Settings has stopped
Unfortunately System UI has stopped
Unfortunately Task Manager has stopped
Unfortunately Internet Speed meter has stopped
even after clicking ok for several times waiting since last 15 minutes, phone will not boot.
Please help.. sorry for being a newb..
BRO just reflash same russian rom again using odin.... problem will be solved.....
Or try to flash lollipop 5.0 bootloader may be it can solve booting problem
Sent from my SM-N900 using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks mahi,
I am able to boot into download mode hoding volume down button and recovery mode holding volume up button. Should i try to do following in present condition without Reflash lollipop rom
Wipe cache
OR
factory reset
Data is not important as I have all my important data on memory card (video/images)
Phone is alive again:
Did following things to recover the phone which was not booting:
1. wipe cache partition
Nothing happened, was still getting those application stop issues, phone was unable to boot.
2. wipe/reset data
Phone came back alive.. all applications got uninstalled except Super-Su Free from Chainfire.
I am able to open the application Super-su properly.
How can i confirm.. If there is nothing wrong and proceeding ahead with setting upon the mobile again.
Edit 2
Went to Recovery Mode and Download Mode, did nothing..
Again started having the same boot issues, all applications getting stopped
WEIRD !!
Probably.. should reflash entire thing again.. ?

Reflash the ROM via odin, then factory reset and clear cache before first boot.
you have one solution go to download mode , go to sammobile download the official firmware for you device and your country connected your device with pc download the lateest version of odin . install and oppen odin go to pda .chose the firmware that you downloaded from sammobile install clik start and the problem soved
Not sure.. How i updated lollipop last time or rooted device . (local mobile repairers who work for rooting when paid are not at all knowledgeable)
I always got STOCK recovery MODE option, just tried to get into recovery MODE on a Note 2, and got same menu options.. like i have in NOTE 3.
Few minutes later, followed all instructions in this thread again:
Thanks to dr.ketan and cryostasis25..
I used same file again = n900-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.0-kk_L5.0(0812).tar
And now I am getting a different recovery MODE option..
(PROBABLY, i have to MYSELF spend more time reading/understanding terms.. before going ahead).
Now top title of recovery mode displays "CWM-based reocovery v6.0.5.0"
Giving few many options to select from list. (I never got this recovery mode before ??? )
All my last wiped applications are intact as well.. (wiped around 6-8 hours ago)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58775300&postcount=5
I am not sure still, what i tried/did.. Any guidance shall be a miracle.. for a newb
Tried going to recovery mode/download mode several times now, and phone wont crash
Kindly let me know what/where i did wrong..
Edit 1
I am also getting an option now to install dr.ketan ROM from recovery mode.. will try that for sure 
Once I receive some responses (to a newb)
Edit 2
I can still find I am rooted, Chanfire su app still appears installed and runs perfectly fine..

Okay, I've searched the forum for several hours but there's just too much here to make sense of.
My phone is a SM-G900W8 brought home June 19 this year.
Stock Lollipop 5.0 pre-installed.
Code:
Baseband version: G900W8VLU1BOC1
Kernel version: 3.4.0-4100894
Build number: LRX21T.G900W8VLU1BOC1
SE for Android status: Enforcing, SEPF_SM-G900W8_5.0_0002
KNOX version: 2.3
Rooted using CF-Auto-Root (this file), Custom recovery is Philz Touch 6.57.8 klte.
Both of these were in place early on and haven't caused any problems.
Everything was working perfectly fine until last night, when I tried this trick (in first post), rebooted, and now I'm stuck at the splash screen.
Nothing gets me out except a battery pull.
I've tried:
Button combo volup - home - power to go to recovery; this does nothing from the splash screen (actually even pressing and holding down power does nothing), and after a battery pull it won't boot into recovery either.
Booting into download mode (success! yay!) and using Odin to re-flash Philz recovery. Reboot doesn't go into recovery, as stated above.
Just waiting, at various points in the process (while in splash screen, while turned off) to give a chance for things to happen if they just needed time.
So now I'm able to get into download mode and use Odin but from there I don't know what to do next. Flash the bootloader? Okay, but there are so many links...which one do I use? Of all the specs I've gathered, why didn't I find that out?
Can somebody help me please?
[EDIT: Solution and links, for SM-G900W8 users who might be looking for help]
I finally managed to boot into recovery by leaving the USB cable connected to the computer while pressing volup+home+power, a last-ditch trick found in deanr1977's very helpful thread "Read before flashing a Rom (Tips for new & old)"
Links to the firmware for this specific model can be found here, or if you just need a piece:
G900W8_OC1_Stock_Partitions.tar.md5
G900W8_OC1_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip

factory reset. Then flash stock rom. if you cant boot into recovery try the latest twrp. It works if its still not working then flash stock firmware from SAMMOBILE with odin. it will work then
Thanks for the reply. The problem I'm having is knowing where to download the files I need to flash - because there are so many threads here for so many different models of this phone. Believe me, I've looked, and keep turning up everything BUT W8
I'm tired and frustrated and need my phone functional - can you point me to a post or a thread with the latest version of TWRP that I can flash with Odin?
[edit] Sorry about that - I found the thread. I'll give that a shot and see what happens.

Best Stock firmware 5.0 BTU from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/44413/G900FXXU1BOC7_G900FOXA1BOC7_BTU/
Enter download mode and Flash either one of the recoveries and Clear dalvik cache, clear cache, format system, format data and then factory reset. After that boot into odin mode directly and flash the Stock Firmware.
note: in Odin uncheck "auto reebot option" and after flashing recovery when the odin shows its done wait 1 minute disconnect usb and pull out battery then turn it on if your phone says "Recovery is seandroid enforcing" wait for 3-4 seconds it will go away and recovery will boot up.

Now, I just want to check: this is for the G900F; will it make a huge difference to my phone? Can I restore my data directly from the backup? I thought what I needed is the exact stock rom that was installed on this phone when I got it so I've been looking everywhere for the G900W8 firmware. I do intend to play with tweaked ROMs in future, but today's not that day.
Finally managed to boot into recovery after flashing TWRP - read a tip somewhere about doing the keypresses while connected to PC via USB. Currently running a nandroid backup before moving on to all the wiping/formatting steps - at least then if something else goes wrong I've got the latest data. :victory:

i am sorry the tools i mentioned are for 900f model. Here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900W8/ you can find firmware for G900W8. Just factory reset format dalvik cache, cache , data and system and flash your stock firmware in recovery. There are many different firmwares available with the exact bootloader and modem but they are carrier specific. I don't know which carrier you are on (if any) so just go through the list and download the firmware you were on, flash it. I will highly recommend you to backup your EFS and modem folder aswell just incase anything goes wrong and u flash the wrong firmware.
Oh! Oh! I found it! The stock ROM, as well as the kernel and the modem! So, next question - should I flash all three or just the ROM?
(God I feel like an amateur right now...Thanks so much for helping me out here dork997. :highfive: )

no prb, Okay if you download the rom from sammobile it should be in a .zip format extract it once and it will give you a .tar.md5 file which you have to flash in odin (this file has bootloader+firmware+modem) if you have 7zip or other such programs it will give you option to re-extract the .tar.md5 file but you dont need to do that just extract the downloaded zip once. and flash it in odin (make sure you factory reset and do the formating steps before flashing it....flashing rom over an old rom has caused some issues for me in the past so i always factory reset before but people also flash without factory reset or formating, choice is urs.
And I believe you've just answered my question. I'll hold off on flashing kernel and modem but I did back up everything, just in case. Wiping/formatting now; crossing fingers that things will go fine from here.
(My carrier is in my userinfo under my name, btw. )
Edit 'cause we keep posting at the same time: Hells yeah, I know how to flash, I've done it tons of times, just never run into this problem or had a device with so many variants so I'm just not used to asking so many questions, is all. I sincerely appreciate you guiding me through, and hope this will help others with this device in the future.

cheers, if it does help you just try to give it back to the community.....i ve had similar issues and people here on xda helped me out. So i am doing the same.
FYI - It worked like a charm and now Lexie (I name my phones ) is up and running again almost like nothing happened. Thank goodness!
In case anyone else winds up needing them, I'm adding links to the stock firmware I downloaded.

Hi,
I have reported this thread to be moved to the right Q & A section where you might be able to get help quickly.
Good luck.
You flashed a custom rom?
well did you check the bootloader and modem?
example: your old firmwara was based on a coh4 and the new custom is based on coj3.. then you get bootloops.
In this case please download the fitting bl & modem to your rom!

well ive done that like 3 times and it still wont come out of bootloop. its as if the phones bricked...turns on then tries to start up but turns right back off. it sometimes goes as far as saying android is starting and optimizes a few apps and shuts off

I originally was on android 5.1.1 cog5 build for sprint...then went to cm 12.1 remix by sabermod....when i used odin to flash back to original firmware, it kept bootlooping. anything helps

Trying going back to a 5.0.1 firmware
N910PVPU3BOF5 ( I pulled that from N910P) Didn't remember Sprint model number.
So if I'm wrong find the correct model of sammobile and download 5.0.1.
See what that does. Bootloader should not be locked so it should be possible,

what version where you trying to get back?? if its lower 5.1.1 it might be impossible for now since the new bootloader wont let you downgrade,, if not just try wipe cache and factory reset

I was on the correct firmware. but for some reason even if I use odin to flash newer firmware coj6 it still doesn't boot up.

update: i can use cyanogenmod for a few minutes but then it shuts off again. my sprint sim card is not readable which is wierd since its a sprint rom cog5 baseband. any ideas :crying::crying:

You flashed a custom rom?
well did you check the bootloader and modem?
example: your old firmwara was based on a coh4 and the new custom is based on coj3.. then you get bootloops.
In this case please download the fitting bl & modem to your rom!

I having a similar issue for a few months now. Nobody seems to have a clear answer. I am not a noob and have flashed back to factory a million times on other phones.. I have spent hours trying everything with no luck. Sprint store will not help... pretty frustrating. Let me know if you find a solution.
Have you tried a new battery yet?

me too, i also have a bootloop for a couple of months now. tried literally every single combination of bootloaders/modems/kernels/ROMs . i can't even get into recovery, but can get into download mode.
do you guys think trying another battery may seriously help? how could a new battery help getting out of a bootloop if download and/or recovery mode work fine?
I don't think another battery will do anything. I think it is all software. I can flash CM11 btw, so you should try that. But my system is extremely unstable... it works... but is beyond frustrating. my smart watch wont work.. have to restart phone throughout day.... so many problems I cant even list them all.

A battery? How in the world would that help? That makes no sense... no offense, just sounds like you are asking someone to unnecessarily to spend $$$ when it is clearly software.
I'm having the same problems and want to know if op has tried it so I'll know if it's been ruled out of the problem thats why. Ok so it's software. You have the solution. No offense.

I think this is a samsung issue. I am going to try and see if i can replace motherboard bc thats the only logical option. I can remarkably download and run (for a few minutes) cm12.1 but my sprint sim card is unrecognized (wierdly). I dont think its the modem or bootloader....ill update yall if i find a fix. Thanks P.I

The only solution i can find is to replace the motherboard or replace phone all together.

Were you able to get it fixed? I'm probably going to go to a phonerepair shop this weekend or next week and see what they say or can do.
