You absolutely can't downgrade from BOE1 or later.
If the issue was only that you were downgrading from BOD5 or earlier and simply flashed the wrong kernel, flashing the correct kernel will allow you to boot.
If the issue was that you had BOE1 or later and tried to flash kitkat, you need to try using Odin to flash a Lollipop recovery image.

In according @_alexndr information about immposibility come back to XXUEND3 stock rom if you have XXUFN modem i have a question.
If i have a bootloop I have option to flash stock rom but i don't want beacuse i will loose opportunity to root again with towelroot.
So i can go to stock recovery and wipe data and cache and do factory reset, my question is: will this always help with every bootloops?
Is sometimes happen bootloop that help only flash stock rom?

not all the times AFAIK.
tried before when testing to downgrade from ND3 to NC2, bootloop, factory reset. go through boot... but all freeze and FC
hehehe.
if you have updated the bootloader, there's no way to go back to any older firmware than your bootloader.
But I didn't upgrade bootloader, only modem and now I don't have come back to old base...
HELP
So I was flashing the MOAR ROM and think I messed up. I was on Optimal Lollipop and used NI2 flasher to get to safestrap...Then instead of just wiping or doing advanced wipe I also did "format data" or whatever the bottom right option is when you are in the wipe section of safestrap... Anyways I then flashed this ROM and then the OC4 kernel and now I am in a bootloop. Samsung screen for a few seconds then reboots
I need to get this fix within the next hour. I have my PC with odin if someone can give me some guidance without linking to a thread about restoring.. I am hoping I don't have to go all the way back to Nk2 or whatver it was and then root all over again...please let me know how I can get back up and running quick!

Try flashing a kitkat kernel and see if safestrap will come up.

ah good idea..didn't whatever I formatted like completely wipe everything..including safestrap and root access and EVERYTHING
If this doesn't work I know I can go the long way and start back at Kitkat and root again but that will take some time...could I just flash the OC4 or OD5 FULL firmware? One flash in odin just to get a usable phone for the night...and then tomorrow flash back to kit kat and start from scratch

I am more trying to figure out what went wrong...I just flashed the NK2 kernel via odin and I am now back in safestrap...
Previously the order I did everything was.
-Boot to safestrap
-Factory reset
-Format Data
-Flash ROM
-Flash MOAR ROM
Then the boot loops started
what should I do differently now that I am back in safestrap? I thought formatting data wiped EVERYTHING including safestrap and all that
**EDIT**
Tried a simple wipe data and getting
E:UnMount unable to find partition for path '/'
Updating partition details..
E: Unable to mount '/ss'
Full SELinux support is present
and then it repeats
ugh
do you know where there is a full Lollipop firmware I can flash..like all in one

Just do what you should have done. Don't format data. I don't know what you we're coming from as far as firmware but Factory reset, flash Moar, not knowing everything, it might not hurt to reboot to download mode after flashing Moar (through safestrap) and flash the firmware Moar is on. You have down that you flashed two roms. You can only flash one.

Sorry just in a rush so I was typing quick. Here is everything
I was on Optimal ROM (OC4)
I used NK2 Flasher to get to safestrap
Did a factory reset and accidentally formatted data
Flashed MOAR and then the OC4 kernel then started bootlooping
Taking your advice I quick flashed the NK2 kernel via Odin and got back into safestrap
Now after I factory reset it looks like it worked but there is also an error mentioning something about "E/ blah blah something not found"
I ignored it and flashed the MOAR ROM
Flashed OC4 Kernel
Rebooted
Now it's showing a tornado in the ocean and has been for 10 minutes...possibly a boot animation?
do you know what exactly happened? what does format data delete? I thought it would wipe the entire file structure of the phone removing safestrap and root which it somehow didn't?
last thing..if this doesn't boot. Do you have the link for the OC4 or OD5 FULL retail file to flash in odin? Isn;t there one file to get it back up and running for now

Just OC4

But if you are going to do that you might as well go to NCG so you can root
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952607139
your not in a bootloop
Deodexed ROMs like MOAR and Optimal take 15+ minutes on first boot.
Give it some time!
so my phone wouldnt connect to the computer so i tried reflashing the rom because people were telling me it was the rom that was messing it up so i reflashed moar using flashfire with the default settings and now i can flash stuff using odin but i cant manage to get out of the bootloop and when i try to flash a NI2 kernel to get into Safestrap it doesnt come up so that i can click it and get into it am i gunna have to go back to NCG and reroot?

When you flashed the ROM, it overwrote SafeStrap.
Use Odin to flash the lollipop kernel you were using. Then go into the stock recovery (hold Home + Vol UP and Power) and clear the cache and reboot. If that doesn't work, go back into the stock recovery, clear cache and select factory reset, then reboot. That should allow MOAR to boot, then you can reinstall SafeStrap Lollipop.
If that fails, then you're going to have to start over.

Well, as long as that worked. Keep what I said in mind, because if you're flashing ROMs you're probably going to run into the same problem again at some point.
I tried to install the 5.1.1 update
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...-to-update-to-g870aactive-modeloj3-5-t3247843)
and it didnt work as the bootloader it requires wouldnt flash in odin
since then i cannot boot into any roms
i am trying to get back to my stock s5 sm900f 5.0 rom
i just keep getting a boot loop of the black sansung screen and then reboots again
ive tried to flash the original stock rom and it completes but wont boot
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
please close this
ive managed to resolve it by booting into CWM, deleting cache and factory reset and then installed my stock s5 rom
Hi i tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900V 6.0.1 but made a fatal mistake. I put kernel file for lollipop 5.0 in odin and now its stuck in an infinite bootloop. I tried factory data reset and wipe cache partition but it didnt work. Need help!
Hi. I did the same mistake like a week ago. and the only fix is installing android 6.0.1 again is the only sollution.
Use Odin to reflash kernel or stock rom. If you have twrp flash another rom.

Hi, I have a 900T. I don't know if I have the same problem. I have 6.0.1, and got the boot loop. I reflashed it off of rapidgator, and it worked, but after I powered the phone down, it is stuck in the loop again, and reflashing doesn't work. Well, it sort of works, but when it loads onto the phone after success with Odin, it says "erasin" half way through and goes back to loop. I am a noob, so I am not sure what kernel or stock rom or twrp are. Thanks!

I tried 5.0 and it does the same thing. Success on Odin, phone restarts and starts to load the firmware, then it stops in the middle and resets to the boot loop. Is my phone hard bricked?
