Phone: Samsung Note 4
Android: 5.0.1
Model No: N910GDTU1BOC7
So basically I rooted my phone like 1 year ago, everything was good.
As the time went by my phone just got slower and laggy.
It wasn't very responsive.
I wanted to do a Full UNROOT via superuser.
I did it once and it took donkeys years. So I closed the app (after waiting for about an hour) and did it again.
This time around it did close once the full unroot was done.
I then reboot my phone and the superuser app was not in my phone. ( I guess I did managed to successfully do a FULL UNROOT).
It was time for step 2.
I wanted to do a factory reset, and flash stock lollipop into my phone.
As I selected factory reset, my phone rebooted.
Apparently it was trying to reboot into recovery mode.
The phone turns on.
it says its booting into recovery mode.
and it does this over and over again.
With my phone not going into recovery mode, I cant put it into download mode and flash stock android.
Currently I do have the stock firmware for my device, but with my device not going into recover mode I cant flash the stock android.
Someone please advice on what to do.
I only have one phone and this is what I use for my daily needs.
I need help to get my phone into recover mode.
Take out your battery. Insert battery. Hold <volume down> +<home> + <power>. If you are able to get into download mode flash stock rom using odin.

Hi. got stock unrooted Nexus 4, upgraded to stock 4.3. via google OTA upgrade
1. I was messing around with some app.
2. Suddenly the phone crashed and rebooted itself.
3. Ever since, I couldn't get pass the white "google" boot logo, no matter how many time I shutdown and started the phone I've waited like 5 minutes (phone shouldn't take that long to boot) without anything happens so gave up.
4. Power+Volume down brings me into Fastboot mode
5. Volume down to select Recovery in an attempt to enter recovery mode to clear catch/factory reset whatever, returns me to 3
6. Phone is paperweight. Want phone back.
Suggestions?
Edit*
I have submitted the phone for repair and the technician said the battery connector is somehow shorted due to manufacturing defects. What a bad impression from my first Nexus.
Reflash factory image with fastboot

Hi guys first i want you to know that my english is bad...
My phone is G900K - SpaceX Rom 5.0
I am using SpaceX Rom 5.0 for weeks and it is buggy, i experience random boot,app crash,fast battery drain and freezes.
Yesterday i reboot my phone and after "Android is Starting" i got message that System Crash or System UI i am not sure what it is but it has System word in error report. Then my phone didn't start so i remove the battery and put it again. After pressing on the Power on Button my S5 starts and i notice the Blue Light in Upper Left didn't Light Up and my phone didn't boot to 2nd Samsung Logo. When i press Power On Button my S5 will turn on and 1st Samsung Logo will appear then It will Turn Off then Vibrates then goes back to 1st Samsung Logo it keeps repeating. Also i try Recovery Mode but i can't enter to it my phone will repeat the same process as i Turn On my phone. I can go to Download Mode, And i flash Stock Rom and after flashing Stock Rom there's a blue text in upper left Recovery Booting... but its not booting into recovery, It will just turn off again then vibrates then goes to 1st Samsung Logo.
If anyone experiencing the situation right now you can comment
Same issue here. My phone is stuck at RECOVERY BOOTING. Is there anyone who can fix this issue? Thanks.
Boot to download mode (Vol down & Home & Power)
Flash stock ROM from sammobile .com with ODIN
Instructions under the download on their site
Go into download mode and do a firmware upgrade and initialisation through kies3. You will need your serial number and model number( on the white sticker behind the battery. in kies3 go tools> firmware upgrade and initialisation, then follow the on screen steps. I used this when I soft bricked my note 2 when I had it, I personally find it's the best way to restore a samsung device.
You should try first with kies3, it did help me to recover from custom ROM installation.
If it fails, flash stock with Odin3 from phone download mode is your last option.
I'm having the exact same issue! Been trying to flash the stockfirmware, but still stuck in recovery booting loop! Even trying to get into recovery mode has it looping. Kiess 3 says that my serial number is invalid, so matter which number I put in too. Hoping for some help!

Mine is the SM-G900W8 with Telus, so if we have the same model, I could probably give you my serial number cause I never had issues with mine. I know I have read places that sometime when people get stuck in recovery like that, they do a factory wipe and cache wipe in the stock recovery to get it to boot.
This same thing is happening with my s5 Verizon.. Need help to fix this i've tried flashing via odin, factory reseting..nothing worked
Can anybody help me please....thanks
This problem started when I moved back to Arya from a 5.1.1 port few days ago. I didn't bother much, cause I keep my phone on always, but whenever I wanted to go to Recovery or reboot the phone it would not boot, would stuck at the Note 3 N9005 logo and I had to do a battery pull to solve the problem, so yesterday I thought about flashing a stock ROM via Odin, and now the phone won't boot at all regardless of the battery pull method!
I can't enter recovery either, it stays at the Entering recovery (SELinux status screen) for a few seconds and then just a black screen with nothing at all. I did flash the TWRP tar image via Odin after flashing stock ROM yesterday, so that I can do a complete wipe, but nah, can't enter TWRP. Download mode however works after a battery pull.
Here is a video, probably the worst quality video you have seen lately, but it still does show the problem :laugh: So kindly tell me what to do! I have a non working phone for over 12 hours now, and I am realising how much I depend on a phone now, that feeling is inexpressible.
how did you solve it ?
Hi, I have a Galaxy S4 I9500 and I'm using GEAR CM13
The ROM was working fine until a while ago, but now suddenly there's a bootloop. Last thing I remember doing was accidentally holding the power button a bit long (while trying to lock the phone) so the power off/reboot menu came up and and then I tried to exit from it, but the menu didn't go away and the phone entered into a boot loop
Now, the Samsung i9500 logo just keeps flashing every 5 seconds. I'm unable to enter into recovery mode. I can enter download mode but it just exits out of that after 5 seconds and starts flashing i9500 logo again. I read about a hack to remove battery as soon as I enter download mode and it worked. It stays on download mode now. ODIN recognizes the device. What can I do using ODIN to fix the bootloop? Is there any ODIN flashable zip? I'm on the latest [20160711] build. I have important data in my device. Please help me recover it
I know I can reflash stock ROM and from there, reflash GearCM13 but I do not want to lose data as much as possible. I'm trying for fixes which do not wipe my data partition. I will go ahead with the standard method if I do not find a fix to recover from bootloop without losing data.
Hi,
I would suspect the power button first (probably stuck). Some hits to the power button using a solid, hard surface will help.

So, I rooted and tried flashing the stock ROM (from Sammobile, same country, same exact model [SM-G950F], I already had the stock ROM and had never flashed anything else to the phone other than root, June security update, my phone had July's) to see if I could fix a problem that couldn't be fixed with any other method I had tried.
Everything in Odin seemed to go well, I got the PASS green box at the end. But then the phone couldn't go pass the Samsung logo when booting up. I left it quite a few minutes, before trying to boot into recovery mode and wiping data. Only to realize that I couldn't boot into recovery mode. In fact, I can't even turn the phone off. No combination of hardware keys works other than power button + bixby + vol down, to get into download mode. But that's of no use, because when I plug my phone into my PC (with the same cable and port I used before to root and flash the firmware into it) it is not recognized by Odin or the PC.
It just has the Samsung logo flashing slowly over and over because I can't turn the device off. By the time the battery dies out I'll most likely have the logo burnt into the display.
I also haven't been able to find any help online. Everyone's suggestion is “boot into recovery and wipe data”, but I can't do that.
Is my phone gone for good?
