Can get S5 SM-G900T out of soft brick mode.

Hello, I have a Tmobile Samsung S5 and I am able to get into Download Mode and I have used Odin v3.09 to try to and flash Odin Flashable Full Stock from the oldest version to the latest and everytime it just boots to the Samsung S5 logo screen with the words Recovery Booting on the top upper left of the phone. The phone is also unable to get into Recovery. I tried flashing other recovers such as TWRP via Odin but I get an error stating "recovery is not seandroid enforcing"
I am beating my head up against the wall here trying to get it to boot up.
Title was meant to say CAN'T

You might not be able to get into recovery mode but when you're soft bricked you can get into download mode.
Press the key combination to get into Download Mode and keep holding them until your phone gets to the Download Mode screen.
You'll then have to redo it and if it still doesn't work then you're probably flashing a bad firmware.
Your phone may reboot a few times during this process, as it's happened to me before and I just ended up holding until about 3 or 4 reboots.

I did flash in odin in download mode using the correct firmware. I also used kies to no avail.

Make sure it's definitely the right firmware, and try using a different version of Odin perhaps?

I used Odin Version 3.07 and 3.09 to flash the following firmware files, odin finishes with a green PASS!
It is a Tmobile S5 sm-g900t

Everytime its done flashing it goes to a screen that says on the top Left in blue text "recovery rebooting......." and it just sits there.

[Q] Galaxy Grand 2 Duos G-7102 doesn't want to boot "Could not do normal boot", HELP!

[Q] Galaxy Grand 2 Duos G-7102 doesn't want to boot "Could not do normal boot", HELP!
Hi , i'm new in this forum, and i hope you guys could help me on getting out of this problem:
I have a Galaxy Grand 2 Duos, and i cannot boot it anymore. When i turn it on, it appears the boot logo for like 4 seconds and suddenly it turns in ODIN Mode with an error saying : "Could not do normal Boot": !
here is it a screenshot:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The problem occured when i tried for the 4 times to flash a Stock Rom, (and they didnt work as well, it stucks in a bootloop), and then i tried to flash a custom one. Now even if i flash a Stock ROM the problem stucks, and i cannot turn it to Recovery mode also!
I tried to flash a CWM/ TWRP, but Nothing at all. I also tried a Stock recovery, and it seems like they dont pass at all to the phone, because , although the green "pass" that i get in ODIN 3.09, the download process seemed going too fast for a normal recovery.img flash!
Thank you, and help me i'm going mad with this phone!

Nothing, i tried it and Now it stucks on Recovery Booting screen,
I'm beggining to think it's a wrong recovery.imgh..
is there a program that downloads you the stock ROM suitible for my device, automatically? (maybe i did the wrong choice of firmware)

I think the bootloade is the problem

Can anyone help?

Can you force a reboot with Vol+ & Vol- & Power? Then Vol- & Home & Power should open download mode. From here you should be able to use Smart Switch for a firmware update.

Somehow i whas able to boot in download mode. My Smart switch writes Unsuported device. And i can-t get to work

Odin not leting... No pit binary, and flash read error

Pm me with your telegram id

I sent the pm

Any ideas what can i do with this phone ?

Look for a pit file and flash it with Odin. Tab "PIT", load the PIT file; tab "Options": [x] Re-partition; [x] F. Reset Time.
Reboot into download mode and restart Odin to flash the most recent firmware again (BL, AP, CP & CSC).
If this does not help you may need to replace the main board.

I've attached the PIT file pulled from my SM-J500F. In case if you haven't got hold of one, you may insert the below file(after extracting) in PIT option on Odin. Hopes this will work!

Install an older version of smart switch, they disabled the reinstall option
It worked for me when my phone didnt even show that screen.
You can also try reinstalling the missing parts throw odin, like the previous coment said

I get this after trying to flash the pit
So all the same, if i try another pit the same proble. I instaled old version of smart switch and i wrote the model and the imei, and says try again.

Note Fan Edition N935S - Stuck on looping Start Logo Screen

Hello All,
Will try to put all details to be able to get the right advise.
Recently was trying to root my N935s unlocked phone. The "Developer options → OEM unlocking" was enabled and USB bugging was enabled. However the process failed and threw me in an unrecoverable phone state.
Seeking help and advice to get back a working phone.
=========================================

Current State of Download Mode screens (after the rooting failure and boot loop has occurred)
==============================================================
Chronology of events (starting from an untampered stock phone)
1. Installed TWRP via flashing "AP" only using ODIN and was able to boot in TWRP recovery.
2. Made a complete backup of all partitions (including EFS) on external microSD card. Have it available - however somehow it is not helping.
3. Installed Magisk Apk 25.2 on the phone. Intention was to patch stock boot.img file and re-flash it to gain root by using Magisk,
4. Downloaded the below firmware files using Frija, by inputting the phone model N935S and CSC code as "SKC". Chose the latest file proposed by Frija in Auto mode.
5. Extracted boot.img from the stock AP file (from above screenshot) and transferred to phone for patching. Patched only the boot.img file.
6. After patching flashed the patched boot only (renamed and converted to TAR using 7zip) as "boot.tar" file in AP using ODIN - flashed it along with CP/BL/CSC files as from the above image.
a. This was the mistake point as the instructions were to transfer the whole AP file to the phone - get it patched inside the phone and then flash the whole AP file along with others. Somehow I totally missed it.​​7. Restarted the phone and the phone went in a bootloop or a stuck state of being only on the black Samsung Logo screen.
8. The recovery and download mode is available by using the button combinations.
====================
My attempts to restore
1. I first booted in TWRP recovery and restored from the stock backup I had taken - hoping that it would fix everything back to normal. The restoration was completed successfully - however there is no success to go beyond logo screen.
2. Went into download mode - using ODIN, flashed all the files from above screenshot (point no.4) - the flashing is completed successfully however there problem remains.
Not sure what can I do now to be able to get back a working phone.
Can someone please share a solution to a similar situation where the Magisk installation has rendered a phone bricked.
Thanks.

Was able to find excellent online phone restoration and recovery expert help and guidance - hence I was able to recover the phone.
It is now downgraded to Android 8, have lost the original serial number in he process - which is unrecoverable, however still got a working phone.
