hello everyone, after rooting and flashing lots of phones, i have probably managed to brick one
since i am using linux, i tried heimdall wich detected but couldnt flash , not even read pit
i tried to root it, with kingroot, failed
then i tried kingoroot desktop app, it seemed to work then after flashing philzcwm using rashr, it went into download mode
at some time i may have flashed a recovery img onto BL, wich i NOW know is the bootloader
i knew that i shouldnt mess with the bootloader, but didnt think BL was bootloader
now using odin 3.10.6 in win xp it doesent seem to do nothing
it automatically goes into download mode with first line saying
"could not do normal boot"
i am now downloading an original firmware 4.4.6 from sam mobile
can anyone help me or is it bricked?
Lost count of how many things you did wrong there
Get a Native Windows 7+ PC running, boot the phone into download mode, flash stock ROM with ODIN 3.10.7
If it fixes it - spend a long time reading threads here on XDA before trying anything else
i dont think i flashed the bootloader, i remembered, odin was crashing before i ever hit start cause i was selecting the md5 and it didnt have the tar
now after flashing twrp 2.8 it boots fine, but if i try to boot in recovery, it goes to download mode "cant do normal boot"
flashed cf autoroot it also goes to download mode
i remember on galaxy s3 if you didnt restart straight to recovery just after flashing it would overwrite with stock recovery
but now if i try to restart to recovery after flashing it doesent do anything, i have to unplug it and take out the battery
edit
if i press vol[-] home power it goes to normal download mode
if i press vol[+] home power it supposed to go to recovery but goes to download mode with "could not do normal boot" message
if i press power alone it boots normally
in download mode it says
product name: sm-g901f
current binary:custom
system status:custom
reactivation lock: off
knox warranty void 0x1(4)
qualcomm secureboot: enable (csb)

i dont mind learning but android is pretty ugly with all the lack of documentation and standards
i learned a lot of stuff reading this forum, and will always respect people who know more than me
i just dont understand what the hell just happened, didnt encountered this before
Yea.. So follow my instructions
i am following your instructions precisely , will spend the day installing crap win7 wich i am running away from, to use with 3.10.7
in the meantime can you explain to me what happened?
i read somewhere something about odin bad usb on xp, would that pe hardware, driver, odin or usb protocol error
fixed, was flashing klte recovery, damn dozen versions of every phone
only clean rom i found was cm12 and dokdo7, both 5.1 based
waiting for network unlock, and case and im good to go
would have loved more after-market roms omni,aokp,pac, maybe 4.4
5.1 has the crap pie (position independent executable) so i cant play with perl 5.20, im stuck with 5.7
if anyone knows where to find more clean roms for g901f / kccat6xx i would be greatful
a more recent version of perl to work on 5.1 would also be nice
did you ever get this fixed?
having the same trouble with my Note4...just happened out of nowhere.

How did you fix it ??? if i flash a custom rom i get the same issue and my device is the same as yours. I flashed back stock rom, samsungs own recovery works well but as soon as i flash a custom recovery (twrp-3.0.0-0-klte-klte.img.tar or philz_touch_6.57.8-klte.tar.md5) i get your issue. How can i fix this and install a custom recovery ? When i install CF-Auto-Root-kccat6-kccat6xx-smg901f.tar.md5 the recovery is back but even when i flash within the os (terminal) the recovery is broken "again"
FIXED!!!! Installed CWM-based Recovery v6.0.5.1

Download stock rom and flash by odin.They are plenty of websites online.Just search for ur phone model followed by stock rom and u will find the exact rom for u to download and flash via odin.

So.. hello.
Normally I don't come to forums to get help... but yeah. This is kinda bad.
I've got a little situation here.
I got my new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910F).
It was delivered with Stock 5.1.1.
First try:
I booted to the Downloader, fired up Odin, let it download the Autoroot.
Then I've got a bootloop.
Second try:
Booted into the Downloader, fired up Odin, let it install the 5.0.1 Stock ROM (Ending with 'BOB4')
It booted normally , then two things pop up constantly:
Something like "phone.xxxxxxxx.xxx Service crashed".
and "NFC crashed."
So I can't even unlock that phone.
Third try:
Booted into the Downloader, fired up Odin, let it install "N910FXXU1COI3_DevBase_alexndr".
Ended up in a Bootloop.
Then I tried to install the Bootloader aswell as the Modem and the Kernel, which are also in alexndr's Thread.
Ended up in the same Situation as the second try.
I don't no what to do anymore.
I'd really love to hear some help from you guys.
Greetings,

The third attempt was incorrect, that file is to be flashed from a custom recovery.
The second try might be because you did a dirty flash (Need to wipe data)
The first attempt boot-looped because in order to root in 5.1.1 you need a rootable kernel and the latest SuperSU (Not CF-Auto root)(Kernel is found in the Android Development thread)

Thanks for the response.
What can I do to get a correct working System back? (Theoretically, I got time and bandwidth.)
Since flashing the Stock ROM did not quiet work.

KNOX Flag is already 0x1. Means varranty is void, isn't it?
So I don't think they will help me.

I've already tried to flash TWRP via Odin, but I've never seen it.
Flashed recovery was for trltexx.
Getting to Recovery should be the same as getting to Download Mode, or?
Anyways. Will try it with tbltetmo and report back.
// Just installed the tbltetmo.
// Can't see how to get into the recovery.
// Am I missing something?
Update:
Just signed up at sammobile and downloaded the BOB6 (4.4 i think) for T-Mobile.
Flashed via Odin.
Seems like it does work again.
Currently its installing like 260 Apps.
Let's see.
// Edit: Nah. It got even worse.
// But I got a Recovery. So that's something.
IT ****ING WORKS NOW
Went into the recovery and cleared cache and data. (Kinda stupid I did not do it inb4)
Do a clean install in Odin. Since it came with stock android 5.1.1, then flash the 5.1.1 stock firmware in Odin. If you have a locked device of a specific carrier it will be even better to use the firmware made for that carrier only. And check the "Nand erase all" option in odin before hitting the start button to flash. That will erase all the data from ur phone and will do a clean install. Your phone must then boot normally. Also note that android 5.0 root file may not work for 5.1. Also check the model number before flashing.
Hi Guys,
trying to flash a custom Rom on my Note 3. It is a UK model supplied by EE but is unbranded.
Flashed several phones before, just running into some issues this time round.
Got my Rom, Autoroot, CWM and Odin downloaded.
Flash Autoroot with Odin - no problem.
Flash CWM with Odin - no problem - until i try to boot into recovery anyway.
No error message etc on Odin but when i try to boot into recovery it keeps saying "cannot do normal boot" and puts me into download mode.
I can get to download mode to reflash and have tried TWRP with the same results.
It is saying "custom binary" when in download mode, and my Knox counter has tripped to 1 (phone out of warranty so not fussed).
Ive searched online and cannot find a thread where they actually manage to sort the problem.
Presumably what I want to do (install a custom Rom) is not impossible as there are so many Roms etc available for the Note 3, I am just a bit stuck as to my next step.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Use TWRP or Philz Recovery .
Thanks for the reply JJEgan, I tried Twrp also to the same effect. I did try Cwm first though, is this a common thing when using Cwm or have I done something wrong?
Im going to flash a stock 4.4.2 from SamUK and try again from scratch to see if it made a difference coming from 4.4.2 instead of 5.0 and then TWRP
Good afternoon guys,
i have a big issue with my galaxy s5 SM-G900S (korean version). I bought it as a refurbished device. Knox was on 0x1 so something may have been modified.
It came with the stock (?!) android 4.4.2 from march14. I tried to update but it returned a registration error. Probably because knox is 0x1
In any case, I activated usb debugging and tried to root the phone using cfautoroot and the corresponding root file: CF-Auto-Root-klteskt-klteskt-smg900s.zip which I still assume to be the correct one.
I used odin for flashing. The device was properly connected (blue).
Everything seemed to go smooth until the phone restart when it said "recovery is not seandroid enforcing". I tried several times with both odin 3.07 and 3.09 but i cannot pass this step. I also tried the method to untick auto reboot, shut the phone down manually and boot into recovery mode but it failed.
This means I am now stuck in the bootloop. I can access download mode, but i cannot reach recovery mode. Also the phone is not recognized by the computer if i try to connect it to adb, kies etc. Odin seems to connect properly still.
Alright how should i proceed now?? My actual target is to flash a custom rom. I will need to go for a dirty flash now correct? Should I flash a stock rom with odin? If yes, which one?
Please support me a bit, I am very frustrated on this topic, especially cause I still dont realize my mistake......
Merry Christmas and greets from Bavaria, Germany.

Flash the stock firmware to get out of boot loop. After flashing the stock firmware, everything should be working fine and booting again. Instead of using CF auto root, flash a custom recovery like TWRP and then use it to flash the SuperSU zip.

Alright, Im back to stock android 4.4.2 now. Works perfect, aside from registration. If I click on "update now" it shows: SKT-USIM required.
Can someone link a detailed guide for flashing cm13? I checked the web but i still dont entirely understand.
In any case I do not want to risk going into a tricky situation once more.....
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
First of all, I'm pretty new to all of these, even new to smartphone itself, so please pardon any of my misunderstanding.
Recently I've rooted my G530h, baseband number: G530HXCU1AOA2 using Kingo ROOT. The root went well I assumed since I can use SuperU and access root-only apps.
Then I proceeded to install a custom recovery for my phone, first I tried using TWRP (v2.8.7.0), flashing with Odin through download mode. After it was done, Odin showed that it was success, my phone restarted and went into a normal boot. I then turned off my phone and try to get into recovery mode (Vol Up, Home and Power), but instead my phone went into Download mode but this time straight into the Downloading scene without going through the warning one. I couldn't turn off my phone, I had to hold down Vol Down, Home and Power, the phone went into the warning scene for Download mode again, only by pressing cancel would I be able to boot normally again.
The same thing happened when I tried installing CWM.
Please help, if there is something I'm doing wrong... I can't get into the recovery mode which I tend to use for installing a custom ROM. I've also tried flashing my original stock, the stock recovery came back and worked fine, but the custom ones still have the same problem.
Thank you for your time.
Same proble for me
HI XDA members,
same problem for me, I have GGP G530H Version G530HSER1BPB1, I have try with odin and I get the pass message without any error, but when I try to bood into recovery mode I have found the same recovery mode (original by samsung ) I don't know what is the problem, I have try all the recovery found in the net, also on the russian forum (PDA) !
please any one cand give a solution, I hate the samsung firmware and I want change to CM12 or CM13 version.
Thanks
You need to directly reboot to recovery after flashing recovery for prevent the phone to reset recovery tp the stock one

hello everyone, my galaxy s8 was on stock rom, it was rooted with odin and super su, i made a mistake....
i installed twrp and wanted to flash it, it said that that it all flashed correctly, when i rebooted the phone it got stuck on the galaxy s8 logo, wont turn off and wont enter recovery mode, only thing i can do is enter download mode.
i tried to do whats written in this topic:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/stuck-bootloop-flashing-aqg5-fix-t3636857
im not 100% sure of my firmware version, its the one that came out with galaxy s8 when it launched 6.1 or 7.1
so i download the BL file to use it in odin, i tried the 1AQF7 and 1AQG7 also 1AGDG...
nothing helps, whenever i enter download mode and press START on odin with BL file added and straight away after pressing start hold down the volume down, plus bixby plus power i get the writing in odin NAND write start, i can never get beyond that, does that mean no matter how fast i try pressing all 3 buttons down, bixby and power i will never be able to fix the boot? or am i to slow?
can i push the needed file to fix the bootloader with ADB?
what else can i do now? is it anyhow possible to fix the boot, or if not to somehow please recover the data and transfer it to my pc memory? and start from scratch again with the phone as a last solution.
thank you all so much for your help in advance, been trying all day to fix it with odin, but no luck.
when i enter download mode this is written on my screen, maybe it helps:
odin mode
download speed:fast
product name: sm-g950f
current binary: custom
system status: custom
fap lock: off
oem lock: off
secure download: enabled
CCIC=S2MM005 hw: 6 boot 7 main:35
WARRANTY VOID 1 (0x0500)
RP SWREV: B:1 K:1 S:1
DID =0077ce53b1c2
EVT 1.1

rest is chip id etc which i think cant help anything.
thank you all once more

i do not think you will b able to recover or boot back into android but you should be able to flash an official firmware using odin to get your phone up and running again.
you should always back up important stuff on your phone before attempting any flashing
How about using Odin to 'dirty' flash the exact firmware last working on your phone? For "dirty", I meant flashing home_csc which doesn't force a data wipe.
