Hi, i flashed my phone with custom rom and my phone keep restarting everytime i started it. And i cant use recovery (twrp) because it restarts in recovery mode too, it can go only in download mode.. please tell me its not hard brick that cant be fixed in software. Thanks
Well if it only restarts in download mode the only thing you can do is to return to stock. Download the latest firmware of your device variant and flash it via Odin. I suggest you to flash a lollipop one and then update to Marshmallow if you want.

Yo!
First, calm down because its not hard brick You can fix it and its quite easy.
Follow these steps:
1) Download and install the proper DRIVERS for your phone (it should be done automatically when you connect the phone to the PC).
2) The phone should have at least 50% battery!
3) Download ODIN program. I'm using v3.09
4) Download the stock rom for J500FN from here: MEDIAFIRE <--- click . This is a firmware which i have uploaded in past, for faster download and is based on 5.1.1 lollipop.
If you want other firmware, then check on SAMMOBILE or other website.
You can use SamFirm to download firmwares faster: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647 (even if says deprecated, it works fine).
5) Extract ODIN archive and run it (.exe file).
6) Extract the stock rom .zip archive and you will get a xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5 file (xxxxxxxxxx= name of the stock rom)
7) Restart the phone in DOWNLOAD MODE, by holding Power + Home + Volume down buttons same time.
A "Warning" window will apear, now press the "vol up" button to get "DOWNLOAD MODE" and conect the phone to the pc
If the ODIN see the phone, on the "ID:COM"line(midle-left) you will see "0:[COMx]"(x= port number)
8) On the ODIN press "AP" button, a window will apear, search in it the location of the xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5, select it and open.
9) Now press "START" button and wait until ODIN finish.
When it finish, the phone will boot automatically and in ODIN will apear a big green PASS.
10) Phone is booting. Yayyy!

Now flash TWRP and go to recovery and wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. Then the bootloop should be gone.
If you still have a bootloop after doing this, then try to reflash the stock rom.

Then reflash stock rom and reboot. If you get bootloop, go to recovery ( STOCK recovery) and wipe data and cache, but keep in mind that when you are wiping data, it may wipe the whole internal memory, not just data. It happened to me on some newer firmware. And then reboot again.

So I rooted my G2 using this method: http://theunlockr.com/2013/10/25/root-lg-g2-versions-video/
And flashed CWM using this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468858
And everything worked perfectly.
I could boot into recovery, all that stuff, but then some stuff went wrong when I tried to flash CM10.2..
I used ROM Manager, and backed up the ROM, which only sort of worked, being unable to back up 'system'
It then tried to flash CM10.2, but was stuck so I force shut down.. Now it's in boot loop, with the LG logo, and I'm unsure how to boot into recovery (tried volume up +Power, volume down+Power, niether worked)... What should I do?

Hi,
To enter in recovery it's a little more subtle , it's in the OP where you take your recovery...:
HOW TO ENTER RECOVERY
Method 1: Hold the power button + volume down button until the LG image appears. Once it does let go of the buttons then immediately push and hold them again until recovery boots.
NOTE: The method above will arrive at the "hard reset" area, but when choosing hard reset, it will take you to CWM (without actually resetting).

In recovery, do a full wipe then flash CM (right version for your phone?) and see if it boots.
Otherwise, return to full stock or use an OTG cable to push another rom (if your actual recovery support it), at least to have a working phone before flashing something else...
And backup your rom directly in recovery, not with Rom Manager...

The md5 is 2e42d58646ae740d56d7ae3ab10204a5, maybe it's the wrong one? It did say it's for the D802, though, which is definitely what I have.
I'm in the exact same situation.
Did you resolve the issue with the return to stock guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
I'm thinking that it could be possible to put a different ROM on the sdcard via mounting CWM but not sure how to go about doing this, any suggestions?
Thanks
Sounds like you installed stock wrong... remember to click "Normal web upgrade test" first before clicking "Upgrade Start" in new window. The log shows u clicked "upgrade start" before clicking "normal web upgrade test"

If you have download mode (completely turned off phone,the VOL UP and insert cable would boot you there) and flash stock ROM with flashtool to return to stock.

Any errors in recovery when you make full wipe?
If you have a "emmc"error ... the flash of the phone is ruined and the is no software solution for this just hardware
If the are no errors try to flash the bootloader or root the phone (it will voids your warranty)and try to flash a custom rom
If the phone is not rooted and still have warranty .. send it to cusomer service centre..it will replace the mother board

You should try to:
Download SM-N910C_WanamLite.OH4_BL_Modem.tar.md5.zip and SM-N910C_WanamLite.XXU1COH4.V3.0.NO-WIPE.zip from here
Put SM-N910C_WanamLite.XXU1COH4.V3.0.NO-WIPE.zip in your external sdcard
Reboot the phone in recovery mode. From TWRP go to Wipe/AdvancedWipe/ and tick DalickCache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache and "Swipe to Wipe".
Always from TWRP go back to the first page, hit "Install", search for SM-N910C_WanamLite.XXU1COH4.V3.0.NO-WIPE.zip in /external_sd and install it, after Wipe Dalvick and Cache.
Reboot in Download mode
In your PC launch ODIN and put SM-N910C_WanamLite.OH4_BL_Modem.tar.md5.zip in the AP button (untick autoreboot)
Connect the phone (in Download mode) to the PC via USB cable
Let it be recognized by ODIN and hit the start button.
Once successful flash, disconnect the phone from the PC, take out the battery, put it back in and turn on the phone.
It should solve your bootloops

When you download just the bootloader you have to put it in the BL button. But what I've linked is a modem/bootloader package and it has to be flashed from the AP button.

F*** sake. I'm sorry about that.
Download the right version of TWRP and flash it via ODIN (link) and try again all the steps.
EDIT:
Which version of ODIN are you using? Try to use the latest.

Hey guys little info,
Samsung S5 SM-G900F
Managed to root it successfully, tried to get Xposed framework up and running.
Xposed framework not compatible with my version, did some reading and it pointed me to manually putting in the framework for xposed using TWRP.
Problem is after TWRP came up, I navigated to "xposed-v79-sdk23-arm.zip" all unzipped with no problems annnnddd pop. Bricked.
Tried firmware recovery on Kies, after yet more googling I found a .tar to restore it but Odin is having non of it! Need some proper help I have definitely bitten off more than I can chew!
.Tar used: -------\Downloads\Flash Samsung SM G900H tar via odin\G900H\G900HXXU1BOA7_G900HOXY1BOA7_G900HXXU1BOA7_HOME.tar.md5 (probably wrong model right? G900F=/G900H)
Thanks in advance friends!
Yea, you flash G900F's with G900F firmware, not G900H...

Double check it says G900F in download mode, if yes, try flashing this PIT file at the same time as the ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2721101&d=1399024091
PIT in PIT section in ODIN 3.11.1
ROM in AP section
Flash together
Or download the ROM that the phone was originally running
Sammobile .com
or
samfirm tool

No, nothing special needs done usually, everything in ODIN should be left default, phone should be in download mode, ODIN should highlight the COM port at the top, and .MD5 ROM should be in AP, hit start, and it should flash and complete
Does the phone definitely say G900F in download mode?
And which carrier is it with, which ROM was originally installed?
Unbranded or Carrier branded etc?

Model number deinfitely says SM-G900F on the screen and behind the battery. Need to flash the PIT you gave me with this new ROM? Or just use the ROM?

Try without first, if it still fails, try with
If that still fails, try flashing PIT on it's own, then ROM after
Finally getting a pass in Odin, just lokoing at the samsung logo screen though. Left it charging for a bit. Next steps if it still wont boot after getting an Odin pass?

Boot to recovery and factory reset, could be hanging on whatever was running previous, ODIN does not reset, it just overwrites the ROM
Give it 10 mins for first boot though, shouldn't take that long, but can take a while
Holding volume up power and home brings the logo screen up then goes black, continuing to hold gives me the logo screen again. Alternatives to boot to recovery?
There is a "NAND erase all" option in ODIN, but without a backup it could be risky, unsure if it wipes EFS partiton
Other members have reported success and no issues afterwards, but read some warnings saying it could wipe EFS which contains radios and IMEI
Without which, your phone can't make calls/texts etc
I'd flash that ROM that passed, along with PIT this time, looks like we're slowly getting somewhere
I've had to flash the same ROM a couple of times to get it to boot on a downgrade
---
Another option would be to flash TWRP from ODIN and wipe from TWRP

Still not booting, and now Odin is staying on reset!
I manually put it back into download mode and it will continue to pass but otherwise it will again freeze on the boot screen. I have a TWRP-2.8.7.0 klte.img.tar that I tried to flash also with the same result. Have to manually reset before it will PASS!
Give 3.0.2.0 a shot
https://dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-3.0.2-0-klte.img.tar.html
With ODIN 3.12.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3804544&d=1467772303
Disable "Auto Reboot" in ODIN
Flash TWRP
when it's completed the flash, remove USB and pull the battery to power off
Replace the battery
Boot immediately into recovery, see if it lets you in then
There is also this you can try
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/g900f-debrick-img-lollipop-t3240626
Although download mode is still working

Booted into recovery using TWRP. Disabling auto-reset worked a treat.
This is what its reading on the Factory reset
"could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer.

unable to recreate /data/media folder

...done

Googled the problem, converted the Cache and Data to FAT and it allowed me to wipe the data.
So the cache, data, and dvalik(sp??) Have been wiped. Now its failing encrpytion on startup.
BUT WE'RE PAST THE BOOT SCREEN! <3

Sounding better, OK, from TWRP, WIPE > Advanced Wipe
Check:
Dalvik/ART
SYSTEM
DATA
INTERNAL STORAGE
CACHE
Wipe those together
Boot back into download mode ignoring messages about having no OS, Flash the stock ROM with ODIN again
Hopefully this time it will boot
