You are probably trying to flash a custom rom that uses Aroma Installer.
If so, use TWRP v2.8.7 coz v3.0.2 can't handle Aroma (known bug).

The Note 3 from AT&T is the 900a. The T-mobile is 900t.
T-mobile forum is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-tmobile
Boot into download mode and confirm the model #.

Blackscreen and boot to twrp

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.

No ROM will boot..

Hi everyone,
So i'm having an issue with my Galaxy S4 GT-i9505. It seems that any custom ROM I try to flash it with just gets stuck at Boot. I can always restore to stock so its not that big of a deal but still I'd like to be able to use a custom ROM on it one of these days !
Here's what I did so far:
1) The phone was rooted with CF Autoroot, then flashed TWRP recovery with Odin 3.x
2)Tried to install Omega Rom v9. With Data, Cache, Delpik wipe. Stuck at Samsung logo after reboot
3) Restored back to stock
4) Repeated 2)
5)Tried to install PAC Rom, again Data, Cache wipe, Flashed Gapps before Reboot
6)Stuck at "PAC loading" logo
7)Tried 5) again without flashing Gapps. Still stuck
8)Back to stock
I'm thinking of trying to flash a Pre-Rooted Rom like some of DJeMBeY. Anyway, can someone point me in the right direction ?

Soft Brick Every Time When Trying to Flash Any Rom

I have searched and can not seem to find a solution
Here is where I am at:
Odin back to stock 4.4.2
Root with Towel Root
Install SuperSU, Update, and Disable KNOX
Install busy box
Install SafeStrap
Install Recovery
Boot into SafeStrap Recovery
Create Backup, Create a Partition and active Rom Slot 1
Wipe System, Cache, Data
Install Zip via External Card
Install goes perfect every time
Reboot
Phone gets stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S5" screen
I can get into the stock recovery (not safestrap) and Download Mode
I then Odin back to stock and try again
I have tried 4 times and 4 different Roms. Has to be something I am missing
would using Flashfire possibly fix this?
EDIT:
Current set up
Android 4.4.2
Kernal 3.4.0
Build KOT49H.G900VRU1ANCG
update: Same problem with flashfire....
update 2: Could have been bad/wrong kernel. Going to odin to 5.0 and see what happens

I think the problem may be you are trying to use the ROM slot. I thought I read that you are supposed to flash ROMs in the stock slot with safestrap.
Thank you for the help
I fixed it but not really sure how.
I THINK it was messed up because I had the wrong Kernel
Here is what I did:
Flashed latest Lollipop with Odin (on parrells on a Mac, worked really well)
Followed the KingRoot Guide to root phone
After a few attempts got root back
Installed the Rom suggested in the the Kingroot Thread
Found some script on XDA to debloat
I really wanted to try the toxic rom but going to play it safe for now...
ROM slot 1 is your problem, as it isn't supported on our devices.
Flash to stock slot only. Ignore the ROM slots.
If you did indeed have the wrong kernel flashed, you would never successfully boot.
Sometimes you also have to wipe cache and dalvik cache again after installing a ROM.

TWRP can't install any ROM

After seeing DarkLord's ROM for turning my Note 3 into a Note 7, I decided to give it a go.
I rooted my Note 3 [SM-N9005] with TWRP and went ahead with the install.
Unfortunately, a few seonds after it looks like it's installing, the phone restarts only to display the default Samsung Galaxy Note 3 wording in white with the black ground. It does nothing more.
I have tried other ROMs which result in the same and stock ROMS that display "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file" instead.
My phone seems to be now totally screwed where I've got no idea what to do next so any help would be very much appreciated.
There is no need to root the phone before installing twrp as twrp can be flashed using Odin.
To flash the rom, did you wipe system, data, and cache before installing?
To start over, flash a stock rom using Odin, then reinstall twrp, perform and full wipe, and flash the custom rom.

I did wipe the above each time I try to install a ROM but it won't install any whatsoever, as described in my previous post.
Also Odin doesn't seem to see the phone anymore, although I'm not sure if I have to change a setting in TWRP for that to happen.
Maybe if I could install a new recovery manager then I might have a chance but can't get Odin to see my phone.
I'm really worried now, just can't understand what's going on.
Thanks again.
Odin can only recognize the phone if the phone is in download mode, not TWRP/recovery.

HELP! SM -G901F, TWRP can't find storage partition to mount

Guys this is help less.
After rooting my device I followed some instructions to get the Lineage 14. I flashed a BootLoader and a Modem as instructed and went forth to mount USB in order to transfer the custom rom into the device. But this is where the problem is.
It says E: Cant find partition to mount storage. I've tried to reboot, wide, data, storage, system and cache and repair the partition I don't know what else to do.
Anyone else can help? Btw I am fairly new to this stuff so please dumb it down for me.
Another thing, when I go to reboot my recovery it says my device isn't rooted and asks to install superSu, however it was rooted before I entered download mode and started installing bootloader and modem.
Now I have no operating system in the device so i can literally only use Recovery or download mode.
Is my device bricked? I don't know. :crying: :crying:

If you can boot recovery, all is not lost.
First, are you sure that you flashed the correct bootloader/modem for your s5 model (G900 T, P, V, F, etc? Odin should not let you flash the wrong one, but anything is possible.
If Bl/modem is correct, them the next thing is to get the custom rom onto the phone.
-make sure you have downloaded everything you need (rom, root method(pref Magisk), gapps if wanted)
- boot into recovery, I'm recommending and assuming that you are using the latest Twrp, if not, d/l official Twrp for your model, and flash that with Odin
-In twrp select wipe, format data, just in case.
-now you should be able to mount usb storage, using the option in twrp
- now you should be able to mount your phone to your PC and transfer the rom, put it somewhere easy to find on the phone. also copy gapps and Magisk zips
-now, still in twrp, select install, select rom zip, select add more, select Magisk zip, also flash gapps at this time if you want to use them.
-click the button to flash
-click wipe cache/dalvik
-click reboot
-pray ?

Hey man! Thank you so much for your reply. I installed CPE1 bootloader and modem driver, honestly I don't even know what they do. Was this a wrong thing to do?
I rooted my device using cf auto root, then flashed the bootloader and modem using Odin. After that I (stupidly) tried to boot my stock OS and it was stuck in a bootloop.
Unfortunately I won't be able to try your instructions this till tomorrow evening but I'll keep you posted!! do you mind if I pm?
Edit: I was using twrp 2.8.7 I believe, could this have been the problem? Also I updated twrp to latest and tried micro sd as storage and flashed a Rom but the phone is still bootlooping

Ok I see you have S5 plus. I'm not familiar with that device to know which baseband it should be.
One thing you might try is to boot recovery and clear cache/dalvik and then try booting the custom rom.
If all else fails, you might try Samfirm
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
That should give you a stock firmware file to flash with odin.
You can pm if you need to, I don't own an S5+, nor am I a veteran flasher but I will try to help if I can.

Ive tried the suggestion you gave me, no success. However I honestly dont know if it could be my fault. I'm gonna flash the stock firmware and restart the whole root process.
Thanks for your help man!

Ok sorry I couldn't be more help
Oh, you don't need to use of cfautoroot anymore, you can just flash Magisk after the rom, and then use Magisk manager to manage all your root permissions.
So if you are going back to stock, I would:
-Flash stock in Odin
-probably boot stock once to verify (first boot takes long)
-odin flash latest twrp(uncheck auto-reboot, just battery pull after it says pass)
-power on phone with key combo to boot recovery
- format data
-flash rom/gapps?/Magisk
-wipe cache/dalvik
-reboot system (first boot will take long)
Hope you get your phone working again

Good News! Phone is back in full working order after flashing stock firmware. It was kinda scary though, I had to fix an error in Odin and then the phone wouldn't even boot up! Left it over night, booted it again and it worked fine Thanks a lot for your help, I'll try not to soft brick my device again
