[Q] N9005 Lollipop boot loop

Hi All, just need a huge help here, a friend of mine has been using a N9005 which was auto restarting, she went online and downloaded this firmware...N900AUCUEOC1_N900AATTEOC1_N900AUCUEOC1_ HOME.tar.md5....2.5GB in size...and flashed it, but the phone is stuck in boot loop even after recovery wiping data and cache, the phone can boot into download mode and is detected by odin, but re flashing the firmware always fails and always boot loops on searching that firmware on google it belongs to the AT&T note 3.....is there a solution for this.....I know my way around flashing if am given instructions...please help

Look for instructions regarding soft brick, you'll just have to reflash via odin.

Flashing a N900A firmware in one N9005 is SUPER WRONG WRONG WRONG. Give a look here select one firmware good for your device and flash it via ODIN.

My phone won't boot!

Dear xda users,
I have a big problem with my Samsung S7 Edge G935F!
Yesterday my phone restarts continuously so I used Odin to flash Firmware Stock. First, I used this Firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3335065 .
Odin doesn't show any errors and my phone restarts; but after Samsung S7 Edge Boot Splash Screen, the phone shows a screen with yellow triangle and Android dead and then, phone restarts in Stock Recovery Mode.
In the Recovery mode when I press Reboot System Now or PowerOff, appears "Verifying DMVerity Hash Tree..." and then "Failed" and my phone restarts again in Recovery.
I tried Wipe data and cache but Nothing!
Then I tried to repair firmware with Kies 3: No errors but my phone won't boot!!
And then I tried another firmware file with Odin but nothing!
The phone is Completely Stock! Recovery Mode and Download Mode work and the phone is recognised by PC.
Please help me!
Thanks in advance
Sorry for my english

Have you tried doing a "Factory Data Reset" in stock recovery yet?
If not, do that before doing anything else.
The Factory Data Reset in stock recovery will WIPE your internal
sdcard but it will not wipe your external SD if you have one.
Also it would be very helpful to know the exact filename(s) of the
stock firmware(s) which you have tried to odin flash and what the
model of your phone is. (G938F) or other variant?)
Good luck and have a great day!

Thanks for your reply!
Yes I tried Wiped data/Factory Reset and Wipe cache partition in Stock Recovery..
Device: Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
Model: SM-G935F
Firmwares tha I tried to flash with Odin:
Netherlands (Android 6.0.1) G935FXXU1APF2_G935FPHN1APE2_G935FXXU1APEQ_PHN
Italy (Android 6.0.1) G935FXXU1APF2_G935FITV1APE2_ITV

If flashing succeeds, and you still have the same problem:
go back with your device where you bought it
You can't solve it yourself, and probably something is wrong/defect with the main-board
When you 1st discovered the continuous reboot:
1. why did you not go to the store where you bought your phone?
2. why trying to flash "other firmware" on your phone instead of your "original firmware"?
What's your original CSC? Flash your phone with your original phone's CSC and bring your phone back for repair and/or replacement!

I don't know CSC because phone won't boot to see the code.. Kies says that CSC code is PE2
I can not do anything.. right?

I tried with Kies3 but the problem remains.. I think with Smartswitch is the same thing because the file and the installation procedure is identical.. I don't know

But smartswitch is newer and supports most samsung devices 5.0 and up.Kies is not meant for anything higher than kitkat.

So I'll try with SmartSwitch..

Please help me save this great phone.

So my beloved note 4 is very poorly and I'm unsure of how to fix her
Phone turns on and boots, sometimes takes longer than others, and I can get to Download mode and recovery.... So maybe there's hope?
It's back on stock kit kat..... Here are it's issues.
Random freezes and reboots,
Sometimes the imei is unknown, pulling sim and rebooting and dialling *#06# brings it back temporarily.
This all happened very suddenly after a MM OTA update but maybe just a coincidence.
What I've tried so far, flashed stock KK with odin and wiped in recovery, none helped.
I've downloaded the n910f 4 file repair firmware that was kindly posted in another thread, but I've read conflicting advice about ticking the repartition option in odin.... Some said do it and someone else said this would wipe my imei... Which would be obviously bad.
Has anyone had similar issues to me and found a solution? I'd be eternally grateful for any help, I love this phone and want to save it. Please help.
Kind regards steve.

Thanks for the reply, I've tried that already but the flash failed in odin, KK will flash. I thought this strange but after I reset the phone when the issues first started it went from MM back to its original firmware KK. Now only KK will flash successfully.
I'm open to all solutions.

grab 4 files lollipop repair firmware with pit file from www.tsar3000.com.
Flash in odin.
Once complete do factory reset.
Now go ahead and flash MM firmware with pit file that you get from repair firmware.
Again factory reset.
Done.

In odin options dont tick on "erase imei"
Just tick on re partition , nand erase all & auto reboot.
Make sure do factory reset & wipe cache from stock recovery after flash.

Firstly I'd like to thank you for your time and help.
Thought I'd share what happened. I flashed the 4 files and pit file and it failed right at the end, tried 2 different odin versions with same results. This left me without recovery and the triangle of death saying please connect to kies.
I could still get into download mode so I flashed just the ap file from the recovery firmware, It passed but the boot took 20 minutes and at that point I pulled the battery and got Into recovery and after 2 minutes or so the blue line went by itself and it rebooted to lollipop 5.0.1
I can make phone calls and install apps, it's just a little laggy but may improve after it settles down.
Do you think I should quit while ahead? Flash MM In odin or let the phone OTA update?
Thanks again and any further thoughts appreciated.
Cheers

Did you wip cache & factory reset after flash ?
Yes you can flash mm with pit file but must do factory reset after every flash to get clean operating system and avoid bootloops.
I suggest flash in odin mm instead of ota to avoid any issues.
Once your phone boot do not touch just let it rest for atleast 10 minutes to settle down.

just a quick update...when I flashed the repair lollipop firmware and it failed right at the end and I flashed stock lollipop and it booted .....the phone runs smoothly now and no crashes but I've got a another issue....the baseband is unknown and imei is null. d'oh
I've flashed MM and all is working great except I've still got the unknown baseband imei null.....
do you think it's missing it's modem....cp file or corrupted ems folder?
is there a fix apart from service center?
any help you could offer would be great.. cheers.

S8 g950f stuck on boot screen, can not enter recovery

Hi,
my S8 is stuck on SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 , POWERED BY ANDROID screen.
I tried flash G950FXXU5DSFB and COMBINATION_FA70_G950FXXU5ASF1 , but no success.
Later I tried flash stock fw with DREAMLTE_EUR_OPEN_OMR30M.pit, DREAMLTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN45M.pit, DREAMLTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN200M.pit
But no fix.
Odin always shows Success, but phone can not enter recovery and can not wipe cache/factory reset.
The only I can enter is download mode and flash again.
I am thinking, that recovery part of eMMC chip can be damaged.
Is it possible to edit .pit file to move everything somewhere further and fix this problem?
Or do somebuddy have any other idea how to fix this problem?
Thx.

After OTA update not booting anymore, only boot screen.

???
Really nothing ???

I'm facing the same issue.. did you figure it out??

It's probably of your bootloader, just update it to the latest, update it correctly.

I mean install bootloader separately, on it's own, and the firmware separately without the built-in BL, might fix your problem.

You should have indicated that on question post itself ... so you are experiencing bootloop
Since you have stock rom that would be easy to fix you just need to flash system.img since system/bin/tune2fs is missing
