SGS 900i wont boot after flashing - I'm stuck - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been trying to *fix* my phone for the past 10 hours and not having much luck. I have tried to flash stock 6.0 ROMs using the TWRP and it fails (not sure why).
I flashed a 6.0 ROM, which didn't include the bootloader and modem and the phone was stuck at the SAMSUNG logo.
I then flashed a stock 6.0 ROM using ODIN from this link: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/87542/G900IDVU1CPG2_G900IXSA1CPG2_XSA/
After waiting about 15 minutes, the phone went beyond the SAMSUNG logo and displayed that the apps were initialising. It then went back to the SAMSUNG logo.
I used odin to flash the bootloader and modem found from another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/s5-g900i-marshmallow-bootloader-modem-t3382754
I've since flashed TWRP again, done a wipe / factory reset and then flashed the ROM again from sammobile (which includes the recovery) so I then immediately flashed the TWRP again.
What am I doing wrong here? Why wont the phone go past the SAMSUNG logo?

Before leaving the office I done the flashing again and halfway home in the car the phone booted fine as normal.
No ideas what happened before. I effing hate this phone.

Arg, possible brick but can get into download mode and connect with Odin

I did something stupid and flashed this Bootloader with odin on my Sprint GS5 US G900P. After the flash seemed to go ok it just re-boots and stays on the Sprint Logo. I can Vol up and down to get to recovery and Download mode but I'm not sure what I should be re-flashing to get my phone to boot up again?
Can someone help please?
I re-flashed my boot to NE5 Galaxy_S5_spr_Stock.Kernel_NE5.tar from here here. Now it gets past the logos and starts to load but freezes the little google loading animation and then goes to screen black
try this
as you can enter download mode
just flash stock firmware
before boot phone go to recovery mode (after flash)
wipe all
wipe data factory reset
wipe cache partition
reboot
Thanks for the suggestion AEkiz. I couldn't find a stock firmware. Links seemed to be dead around here and I couln't find it on the Samsung site.
However this has semi-worked for me:
I flashed 5.0 imgae SM-G900P_OA6_FullRestore.exe
Install seemed to work just fine.
Then I reinstalled my Backup of (Mystery build) 4.4.2
Installed Galaxy_S5_spr_Stock.Kernel_NK4.zip form the file All_Kernels_thru_OA6.zip via Odin
Then my device just booted!
But there are some issues:
1. My device still says it's running OA6 even though I flashed NK4. Oddly enough it WAS on NE5 in the first place but when I tried to flash and NE5 firmware it got stuck on the Google logo. now I'm just confused on all these Nxx versions.
2. My fingerprint scanner is now dead.
3. My camera has a bunch of funky artifacts so I can't really use it anymore.

S5 SM-G900F bootloop, nothing worked

Today my father's Galaxy S5 SM-G900F freeze after connecting to PC when I tried to copy some photos to PC. After that it started bootloop. Phone was ALL STOCK, no root, no twrp, no nothing without original latest android 6.01 directly from Samsung.
First thing I tried was wipe cache and factory reset. Nothing changed. Then I tried to download new firmware via Kies3, it took some time, update succesfull but still bootloop. Next I tried to put latest firmware G900FXXS1CPI6_G900FXEO1CPE2_XEO via Odin. Everything fine, succesfull but still no success, bootloop. Then I flash latest twrp on it. Twrp boot fine, I tried wipe, nothing changed. What can I do? Phone is bricked permamently or there is something I can do? TIA for any clue! I've read tons of forums and sites and everywhere told to flash firmware but it not worked for me
update: I also discovered strange thing when I tried to flash via twrp. After few second flashing (blue bar does not go forward) phone reboot itself and stuck on Samsung logo.

I think you must try a repair rom its come multi package boot loader and modem and ap and thetr is the pit file and be sure to get the proper one for your device and try to flash via odin
Thanks but it didn't work for me. I just tried 4 files (BL/AP/CP/CSC) and 5 files (+PIT). Everything success in Odin, recovery back to stock samsung but phone can't boot. Few times restart then stuck on samsung logo. Is any other way to try?

Stuck on AT&T Logo

Hello all!
I am trying to get my s4 back to working conditions. Earlier last night i went within SuperSu and did the full unroot then I restarted the device. When i restarted the device i was stuck on the AT&T logo. I tried to go into recovery but somehow twrp was deleted. I have been having issues flashing twrp back onto the device. Does anyone know a way to help me unbrick my phone?
:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Note device is using 5.0.1...cant remember if its stock or custom. But im pretty sure its just a stock rooted phone.
You can't flash TWRP when the phone is running a stock 5.01 bootloader.

G935X

i have a G935X and im trying to flash a stock tar on it. (live demo unit, before you ask, i obtained it legitimately from the retailer i worked for at the time)
ive tried MANY G935F tar.md5s on it, and many of them pass in Odin, but none of them boot to the OS. Stock recovery will boot just fine and it will charge, but no OS boot. The most recent tar i was able to get to pass in odin was an 8.0 version, but still wont boot to the OS. IT just goes to the splash screen and stays there. Any ideas?
nvm, got it working. I flashed TWRP 3.2.3 and an Oreo based ROM and it booted right up. Issue resolved

Bricked S7 Edge

Hello guys,
After stock OTA update phone started to randomly reboot and sometimes got stuck in bootloop.
I Flashed stock ROM over ODIN 3.14 ,got stuck at S7 logo,then i flashed TWRP and tried to flash like 10 roms with no succes,tried to reflash Stock rom,sometimes it goes to SAMSUNG logo but bootloops there.
My device is SM-G935F t-mobile version,twrp is crashing randomly while installing custom roms,tried lineage and got boot loop there,i maybe messed up when i went in TWRP and formated all to ext4.
This is stock rom i used https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...e/SM-G935F/CRO/download/G935FXXS7ETA7/315446/
i marked BL,AP,CP,CSC and picked corresponding files,I tried to flash older TWRP but still same problems,and also when i flash stock rom i get to blue erasing screen where it freezes,seems to me like there is no fastboot or smth.
I am trying to fix this for 3 days,any help is welcome,sorry for my bad english and thank you in advance.
Make sure you are using odin 3.13. Then you will be able to flash without problems:fingers-crossed:
