I'm wondering why I have to flash stock firmware in Odin and then immediately afterwards, do a factory reset in Recovery Mode for the s8. With the s7, you could just flash the stock firmware in Odin and be good, everything becomes reset. Is there something different with the s8?

Hi, I have a s5 (Singapore) G900F. I rooted it and installed lollipop. (it was initially running kk 4.4.2) However, when I restarted, it got stuck in recovery booting. I tried reflashing the stock lollipop rom from sammobile and that didn't work. I then tried the same thing but with nan erase all. When that didn't work I tried the original kk 4.4.2 rom with a G900F pit file from xda. Now my phone is stuck in the firmware update (connect to kies mode). Any advice at all would really be appreciated. Thanks.
Bricked after ODIN flash
Started out with 5.0.1 rooted. Flashed TWRP and CM 12.1 which went great. Wanted to go back to stock Android so I downloaded 5.1.1 from Sammobile, put my phone into Download Mode (without wiping it) and just flashed it with ODIN. It failed, and now I can't go into recovery, neither start it "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again". Read somewhere that I could flash a pit file, but I will probably brick it for good if I try that. Does anyone know what I could do?

Solved it after several attempts of flashing different modified versions of stock roms
Hi everyone,
I am trying to unroot my device to go back to stock firmware. I did that by odin but recovery is still "zenlte"
i also used smart switch resit the device but still the recovery is the custom recovery.
Is there a way to go back to stock recovery?
Hi
so i have made the experience that if i flash the stock firmware from Sammobile, the recovery is going to be the old stock one, but you should make a Backup first. I can't guarantee that it will work.
Maybe you can also only flash the stock recovery .. I've never tried this cause i always wanted to have a rooted phone.
Thanks Lecani
Actually I flashed stock firmware from Sammobile but the recovery is not affected, still custom recovery.
Where can I find stock recovery for S6 edge+ (SM-G928C)?
Thanks

I guess having custom recovery after flashing the stock firmware is impossible. Recovery.img is included in stock firmware as far as i remember. Maybe you can try pick the stock recovery.img from the firmware, make is flashable tar and do that way. I have flashed stock firmware bunch of times and each time recovery came stock unless i flash twrp.

Hello there. So, this is my actual situation: I have a galaxy s4 on stock Lollipop. Due a few issues, I decided to try to downgrade to kitkat I flashed via Odin a stock kk fw, but unluckyly I Haven't considered Knox bootloader, and now the phone stucks in bootloop. I tried to enter recovery, but it doesn't even work.
Is there any way to save it? Actually, I'm downloading stock lollipop firmware to flash it from Odin. Could it work ?
Thanks everyone will give help
Yes, flash the latest stock ROM in Odin to get the phone back to stock.
Hey all,
I hope everyone is well. I'm having some issues with my Note 3 N9005 intl variant.
I am currently running Resurrection Remix Marshmallow (6.0.1) and its pretty stable and is a good daily driver however it has some bugs that I'm not a fan of. I used Odin to re-flash the stock ROM I got from sammobile back on to my Note 3 (N9005XXUGBOK6_N9005BTUGBOJ1_BTU) however every time I flash it, I am stuck on a boot loop. This is also the case if I try to flash another custom ROM using TWRP, so I am not sure what is wrong.
[Edit] I tried to flash the purify kernel for this ROM however this also results in a bootloop. Currently I am on the kernel that came with this rom which is the temasek kernel
[Edit2] I've managed to get to the samsung logo but its been 10+ minutes and I am still on the pulsing samsung logo. I've done a battery pull and I've also done the cache partition delete and factory reset from the recovery menu, however I am still stuck on the pulsing samsung logo.
Thanks guys
Does Odin successfully flash the stock firmware? You confirmed the model # in download mode?

Odin says that the stock firmware has been successfully flashed. As for the download mode it says the following:
Product name: SM-N9005
After flashing a stock ROM, are you booting the phone into recovery and performing a factory reset before flashing the newly-installed stock ROM for the first time?

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean I flash the stock and then boot into recovery and factory reset before the first boot? Or I should flash the stock and then factory reset and then reflash the stock ROM?
