I downloaded odined TWRP to my Samsung Note 3 N9005, but the phone still doesn't boots into custom recovery.It goes to stock recovery. I have attached the TWRP odin log for reference. I have flashed roms and rooted phones earlier, but with Note 3 this is my first attempt.
Flash again but don't check auto reboot. When you see the word reset in the status window, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, wait about 5 seconds, replace battery, boot to recovery using the buttons.

I did that. But it says cannot boot into recovery mode and goes to download mode. So I did it auto reboot checked again and now it's normal, but didn't solve the issue. By reset in the status do you mean I pull off the USB as soon as it says "RES OK!"? and not wait for Completed?
Try a newer version of Odin. Wait for it to complete the flash.
Sure you have the right twrp file?

I tried a cwm recovery instead worked for me. Can now boot into the custom recovery. I installed Dark Lord Room, stuck at Samsung for more than 2 mins. Should I wait or is this a boot loop?
Update: I wiped dalvik cache, cache partition and factory storagr and then tried Phronesis with a Full Wipe in Aroma, still stuck at SAMSUNG Logo for more than 5 mins.

After the wait it worked and booted the Phronesis. So my solution was to odin the CWM.
Best Regards!
I don't recommend cwm as it is hasn't been updated for years.

I have an international I9505. Stock rom rooted with cf auto-root and twrp 2.5.
I have been using it since I first got it at launch date. Just a while ago, I took out my microsd card without unmounting it first. I restarted my phone. Now, whenever I try to turn on my phone, it will show the Samsung S4 logo and then stuck at black screen. After that it will auto bootup again but to twrp recovery. I can't seem to boot it normally.
Any solution that I can do right now? Other than flashing it with original stock rom.

First just try doing an advanced wipe with cache and dalvik cache checked.
If that doesn't work I'm just letting you know if you flash the stock firmware via odin you will not lose any data, just root and you can easily re-root your phone.

lol just see after that the wipe data/factory reset wipe the internal sd card so i reboot the phone and copy again the file on the external sd.
i try too reboot in recovery but it don't work. Maybe cause of the wipe don't know.
so i try to install another recovery, the cwm6
Just after the flash the phone never reboot. Odin succefull but the phone freeze at the Boot sequence ( Samsung Galaxy S4, GT-i9505 )
Ok so i tryed to flash the last I9505XXUAME2_I9505OXXAMDB_NEE
I put it in pda and start again. The flash was succefull but idem, the phone don't start.
I allways have access to the download mode, but not to the recovery. And i don't know why it don't start with the orginal firmware.

Turn the phone off, pull the battery and wait 30 seconds and reinsert the battery and hold the volume up button + menu + power button and do a data factory reset and wipe caches in recovery.
Great, it works again
Why wait 30 seconds? Is it time for capacitors to discharge?

But there is something i don't understand,
When i flash with odin the twrp recovery, i can boot in recovery and boot my phone.
If i install any samsung firmware without custom recovery my phone don't want to boot, but boot again if i flash the twrp recovery
if i flash the cwm6 i can do nothing too.
why my phone work only with the twrp recovery?
Hi, need a stock MJ5 kernel flashable with odin to save my GT-I9505, stuck at splash screen with no recovery. Been flashing with odin and Kies for the last 4 days without any luck. I ve downloaded one which says MJ5 stock kernel but when i unzip it its MJ3. Thanks
Why not just flash a rom with MJ5 in it?
Or just flash a recovery and do a wipe. Then flash the rom you want.

Also have a galaxy w same condition. Everybody seems to think that if phone is able to boot to download mode phone is not bricked, i beg to differ. I ve a few HTC phone never have so much problem as Samsung, my Note 2 suffered SDS:crying:. No more Samsung phones. Thanks guys

If I were in this situation I would flash a custom recovery (Philz) and if you can boot into that recovery, I would format System, Data, Cache and SD card.
Now you have a totally clean slate to flash Stock ROM in Odin. The thing is Odin flashing is a no wipe procedure, so if you have something corrupt or causing issues on your phone it'll still be there after Odin flash regardless of firmware.
You can find the .Tar file of Philz recovery in his thread, flash that in PDA of Odin and try to boot to recovery again. Make sure auto reboot is NOT ticked and your phone is totally powered off. Then using Volume up+Power try again to boot to recovery, as soon as you see the blue writing "recovery booting" release power button but keep holding down Volume UP.
So what you are saying:
- You can't boot, it stays at the Samsung logo.
- You can't enter recovery, it just boots again.
- You can enter download mode.
- Flashing is succesfull.
Am I correct? Then my first guess would be that you have a faulty battery. Look if its more swollen than normal.

Thought of it but i don't wanna trigger the flag (Knox) as my phone is still under warranty.
Tested with my Galaxy W (same condition with S4) everything i flash with odin is successful but phone boot up in same condition. That's why i just wanna try with stock for S4.

My phone is only 2 months also tried different battery, I ve 2 original. When i plug into wall charger only shows grey battery icon with static circle, but the funny thing is i suspect the battery is being charged.
When i boot into recovery it just stays at "recovery booting"ve left it for 30mins and when i turn on normally it stays on the splash screen.

try booting your phone in stock recovery with pwr+up volume, then in recovery with the volume keys navigate to wipe data/factory reset and then wipe (or clear) cache, then reboot.

so i tried this it allowed me to get to the Samsung logo and this is where it has gotten
99% of the Odin problems are solved by using a different usb port and/or different usb cable.
Ps Did you use cf-auto root for rooting? That's the only rooting method that works. Because I never heared of cf auto-root causing those problems.

Well, you could try another solution that for others is risky but it's not, if you follow the steps carefully. Flash your correct firmware with odin 3.10 and check f reset time, auto reboot and Nand Erase All and Phone Bootloader Update. When flashing process is finished, the system will reboot to stock recovery and will appear an android repairing, after it it will reboot in Samsung startup but it will not boot, so you must boot to recovery with power+volup, wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache again. Then reboot and wait, it may take up to five or six minutes approx.
i leave attached an odin version that is woking fine.
I hope it helps.

* at last, maybe obvious, check that the firmware is appropiate for your phone e.g. if your firmware is i9505XXXXX and your phone is i9500 or any other it will never boot.
Hi everyone! Surfed the forums in the past for some minor help but never needed to register till now. I've tried everything and can't get my phone to boot.
So last night while camping my phone started boot cycling out of nowhere. I let it try a few times and then removed the battery and went to sleep. This morning I woke up and tried a few more times, replaced the battery with a non-stock double-capacity one I have, and still cycled. Sometimes it restarts on the Galaxy Note 4 logo, and sometimes on the Sprint logo. It will do this indefinitely. At one point It finally booted and said it was updating apps (like from an Android update, not the regular app updates.) Before I could do anything else with it though, the battery wiggled loose and it started power cycling again. Because of this one boot I think the root cause is related to an Android update that decided to run without my permission.
So I gave up and drove hoe from camping. Tonight I had tried everything I could find from factory reset to the toolkit to Odin and nothing has had any effect. The toolkit didn't see the device, and Odin failed to flash. Can anyone help me? I can boot to recovery and I can get into download mode, but nothing seems to work. The phone isn't hard bricked, but everything I can find on soft brick solutions hasn't worked. Thanks in advance!

Oh also, when I boot into recovery mode it says "installing system update" with the android open chest logo, and then goes to a dead android and says "no command" before getting into the recovery mode menu.

If you able to go download mode then flash twrp recovery in odin and go to twrp recovery for your specific model and do clean wipe system then flash any rom for your model.then wait 10 to 15 minuts until phone boot.

Ok thanks that worked! I got into TWRP by setting Odin to not reboot. If I let it reboot then it just restarted after the TWRP flash and kept power cycling like before. If I uncheck auto reboot in Odin then after the flash I can pull the battery (can't figure out any other way to turn the phone off) and then when I restart in recovery mode it goes into TWRP. From there I tried a factory reset (wipe data, cache, and dalvik) and that didnt fix the power cycling. Do I have to flash TWRP and then immediately flash a rom right after? Or should I try an advance wipe in TWR, or maybe "repair or change file system" from the advanced wipe menu?
Bump? I still can't boot my phone. Got into TWRP but no idea what to do from there. I can't flash any rom successfully in Odin and I can't get the phone to boot. Now it just hangs on the "Samsung Galaxy Note 4" splash screen, doesnt even go to the "Samsung" screen or the "Sprint" screen like it used to.

1,Flash twrp recovery in odin
2,press volume up+home+power button and boot into twrp
3,in twrp go to wipe/advance wipe and wipe system/cache/data/dalvik cache
4,Flash any custom rom for your model from twrp recovery
If you allready have twrp installed then skip 1 and download any rom like cm12 and gapps
Then flash from twrp

Do I just go to install in TWRP and then select the zip file on my microSD card? I tried that with N910PVPU3BOF5_N910PSPT3BOF5_SPR.zip and if says "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file. Error installing zip file '/external_sd/N910PVPU3BOF5_N910PSPT3BOF5_SPR.zip'" Then I tried with a CM called cm-12.1-20161016-NIGHTLY-trltespr.zip and it seemed to work, and showed a little blue android face but then it still wouldnt boot. Now when I try to start the phone it says "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING Set Warranty Bit: Kernel" in tiny text on the top right of the Galaxy Note 4 splash screen, then boots to the blue android face and then powers off after about 2 seconds. After that, I cant even recovery boot the phone until I remove and reinstall the battery. Then the same thing happens, boot to blue android face and then shut down. I'll try some more android zips I found but I think there is a deeper problem with the phone here.

Which android version you ware running last time before this issues start happning ? 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 ?
And i think you are trying to flash firmware file from twrp thats not possible you will require a custom rom.
If you are on 5.1.1 then try any lojjipop n910p based roms like cm 12
If you are on 6.0.1 then try n910p marshmallow based rom like cm13

I always run the updates so I'm pretty sure I was on 6.0.1. I tried again with CM13 with and without GApps and same thing always happens. No matter what I do, the phone always hangs and shuts off when it gets to the CM splash screen. I will upload a video soon. Do you know why the phone says that SEANDROID thing?
I am using CM13 from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=44727
I am using GApps from here: http://opengapps.org/?download=true&arch=arm&api=6.0&variant=pico

Seandroid thing is normal if you are running custom rom. Cuz any custom comes with root and custom kernel so nothing to worry.
Did you tried another battery?
And how long did you wait to phone boot after flashing cm13 ?
Go to sprint note 4 xda forum and try different roms and be patient and wait atleast 20min to phone boot
You cannot flash cm13 without gapps and make sure gapps is for 6.0.1 marshmallow.
Once your phone boot normal go to download mode and flash 6.0.1 firmware in odin and after finish flash immediately go to stock recovery and do factory reset your phone will be normal.
Make sure your battery is not damaged maybe it is causing shut off. Issue.
Well since I can't flash CM13 with TWRP and I can't flash a stock rom with Odin, what other options do I have? Is there any way to get a bcakup file that someone else has made on their Note 4 in TWRP and try restoring from that? I've also read about ADB sideloading and another recovery called CWM or something and I don't know if those will be any different or just more failed flashes. I think the problem is deeper in the phone since it wouldn't boot with the stock rom and now it won't boot with CM13.
EDIT: Just saw your last post. I have 2 batteries, one samsung stock and one aftermarket TechOrbits double capacity. The phone does the same thing with either one so I ruled out the battery a while ago. Think there's any chance theyre both bad and I should order a new one? I don't really want to invest more money into a dead phone. I don't think I waited that long after installing CM13. I'll try it again and give it a half hour. I doubt that will change anything though.
EDIT2: Also when I go to download mode (says "ODIN MODE <HIGH SPEED>" at the top) it has some red text at the bottom I think might mean something. Does this mean anything to you or is it typical?
