Hi,
My phone has TWRP installed and I have tried getting into recovery with vol up, home and power but I just get stuck on the regular boot screen (Samsung Galaxy S5 with Set Warranty Bit: Kernel). I have tried using Odin to flash TWRP in download mode (no Pit file error) which fails. I can't get my device to show up in adb or fastboot. I can't enable USB debugging because my device won't boot.
The only mode I can get into is download mode (vol down, home and power). Is there any hope of getting into recovery or accessing my files from there?
I have read through countless threads and posts without finding a solution. I really appreciate any suggestions.
Device: SM-G900T

I don't have this variant but, your best bet is to post this question within the following Official TWRP thread for your device.

Hi,
That's not a good symptom.
Just to be sure:
Did you try installing full stock firmware from odin via download mode?
Does download mode confirm that your phone model is SM-G900T? Is that model in line with a label under the battery?

I tried installing TWRP with Odin, if I install stock firmware, will all my data be wiped? All I wanted was to get into TWRP to save the data.
Yes download mode confirms SM-G900T same as under battery.

The question is what happened before that your phone doesn't boot?
If a phone doesn't boot the basic way to fix it is to reflash it with stock firmware. It will not wipe your files in internal storage like pictures, downloads etc but it will most likely wipe your apps, settings, contacts, messages etc.
By the way what version of TWRP have you tried installing?

OK I tried reflashing with stock firmware, but same error "There is no pit binary. Flash read failure".
TWRP 3.2.1.
The thing is I'm not sure what happend because my screen broke, the phone was still working fine but I tried to reboot into recovery without a functional screen many times, perhaps some combination of buttons I pressed bricked it...

Try to falsh this firmware only file with TWRP and pit (use AP slot in Odin): https://mega.nz/#!XksGAThB!oQnTcnp7YHJfEfekbQMaihm2SGItBNMihPPfzQehUq4
You cannot brick the phone with just a buttons' pressing.
To say the truth, your story sounds like a memory failure and there's almost no chance to get your data.

Same error looks like (There is no PIT binary).
I see, well in any case, thank you very much for your help. Its bizarre because the phone was working fine as the screen was slowly breaking up until it finally went dark forever.
A bit late to the party, but I found my GS5 wouldn't go into recovery if the USB/Charge cable was plugged in.

If Odin is requiring the PIT file for the SM-G900T device, you can obtain it on the following link.
Downloads for : Samsung Galaxy S5 | AndroidFileHost.com | Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.

The PIT file is the Partition Information Table that Odin uses for what goes into which partition from the Firmware.
I hope I had explained this okay via text.
There's a little helper guide on the following thread as well.

Hello all,
I have a S4 in my hands.
Now the history of the Phone is as follows:
Customer tried to take out the sim card by force. And broke the metal plate.
Yesterday I replaced the microsim/sim slot. Testing the full Phone and ready to go.
Today I go back to the end customer for the same device.
It keeps rebooting after the samsung galaxy S4 white screen. And keeps going.
This is what I tried:
Updating to newest rom - no luck
Plugigng in into pc by cable - keeps rebooting with only showing the battery icon.
Try to go in recovery mode - not possible
Going into download mode - works
The little smash trick of YouTube (smash to table gently with side of power button down) - don't work
Any suggestions?
So you are the employee that fixes phones and don't know what to do with a bootloop, but do know how to replace a simslot? I am somewhat confused..
A bootloop always has some cause.. check init.d script or so.
Code:
adb wait-for-device
adb shell chmod 000 /system/etc/init.d/*
at least get an adb connection and logcat,
Code:
adb wait-for-device
adb logcat -C
else you cannot say anything about the problem since you don't know the cause. (if debugging is disabled unpack boot.img and make changes in ram disk for enabling debugging/adb, then repack and reflash)
If download mode works just flash a custom recovery first, make a nandroid backup (make sure you secure the files whenever possible, since there is the nasty symlink "/data/media/" which is actually just /sdard. so if you wipe data manually it the nandroid backup will be gone), then try to do factory reset, if it doesn't work still, just reflash stock rom with odin + factory reset.
oh and for the record, the simslot being broken is not the cause of the bootloop, just that you know.
Hi,
When you say "updating to newest ROM" do you mean that you flashed stock ROM again via Odin? If not, then that's my suggestion for you, but first I'd try factory resetting it via stock recovery.
~Lord
Thank you for Your kind reply.
Yes indeed, I fix a lot, but I have and know my limits. . I've tried a lot to pass the boot loop.
But if it's not possible to fix it for me. Than its better to ask.
I will try a custom rom. And keep you informed. Thank you.
Installing a rom with odin din't help. I got na Green PASS but bootloop keeps running.
Installing CWM did not help allso, it give me a PASS, but I can't enter recovery.
So, how do I get acces to init.d ?
If recovery mode doesn't work and the device keeps rebooting, try to flash stock ROM with Odin and put the .PIT file after checking 'Re-Partition'

Just ready. got a green pass in odin. But still the same, and not able to go in recovery.
Maybe a hardware malfunction? Can I test that somewhere?
Retry with the same procedure a couple of times... if this doesn't solve problems, then it's an hardware fault
So About 2 months ago, I attempted to downgrade from lolipop 5.0 to kitkat 4.4.2. After seeing 30+ guides that were more or less identical all claiming success, I tried flashing The kitkat firmware, and instead of downgrading ended up with my phone stuck in a bootloop. Now after seeing another 30+ guides on how to fix your softbricked phone, all claiming success, downloading countless files, including 4 or 5 different versions of odin, I have made no progress. I made a thread about a month ago asking for tar files for the lolipop 5.0 firmware. I got several responses, directing me twoards links that they hadnt even bothered to check if it contained the 5.0 firmware, because the websites didnt. None of the "official sites where you'd get android firmware from have the lolipop 5.0 firmware. NOTICE: PLEASE DO NOT SUGGEST FLASHING STOCK FIRMWARE, OR FLASHING VARIOUS VERSIONS OF KITKAT, I HAVE TRIED THIS AT LEAST 50 TIMES IN 4 DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF ODIN, YOU CAN NOT DOWNGRADE. idk if this is the same for all android phones, but when your phone is stuck in a bootloop, you cannot charge the battery. So after spendings over 15 hours trying to fix my phone and taking a road trip, I came back to find my battery dead. After getting back I bought a micro sd card for my phone. However connecting your phone to your computer will not let you enter recovery mode. Therefore the 5.0 firmware I had on the sd card could not be copied to my phone through recovery mode (I have found lolipop 5.0 firmware, however it isnt flashable, rather it is a large collection of various file types and sub folders.) Eventually I was able to recharge my battery by flashing/installing twrp recovery. The next day I copied the 5.0 firmware from the sd card to the phone. At first it appeared to work" "installing update" then it rebooted and bam, back to the twrp recovery mode screen. With twrp recovery on, I am not able to access normal recovery mode, just download mode and the modified recovery mode.
Here is the screen when my s5 boots:
[red text] android system recovery <3e>

thats whats on the screen, please ignore the code tags, that was stating the color of the text
Now ive tried messing around with ADB from the android sdk but all of those commands arent recognized by windows cmd. I've read several tutorials to try and get them recognized but cant find any of the needed files because where the files are saved on your pc appear to have competely changed since the tutorials are made. Im also not sure if I should or How to remove twrp recovery.
Just to specify again, I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 g900A (AT&T) that was running some early varriant of Lolipop 5.0 (updated in may) before it unfortunately lost its operating system.
I believe you are unable to post links here so please send them to meowmix226(at)gmail(dot)com with xda as the subject

Any help or new insights is greatly appreciated

I dont care if its not what you want to hear, you need to flash stock lollipop. Part of your issue is that the g900a is you cannot flash recoveries, so even though the twrp flash may have been succssful it didnt actually flash, the recovery menu you described is stock recovery. So end of story, stock flash lollipop, if you got it from OTA you cant downgrade so dont try again, and you cant root.

It said no thread specified on the link you posted, and there doesnt appear to be a flashable version of lolipop. the only version of lolipop I was able to find was a collection of files and folders in various syntax's. No .tar files, If you know of one that round be really helpful, when i bought my s5 it was on kitkat.

Dear xda users,
I have a big problem with my Samsung S7 Edge G935F!
Yesterday my phone restarts continuously so I used Odin to flash Firmware Stock. First, I used this Firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3335065 .
Odin doesn't show any errors and my phone restarts; but after Samsung S7 Edge Boot Splash Screen, the phone shows a screen with yellow triangle and Android dead and then, phone restarts in Stock Recovery Mode.
In the Recovery mode when I press Reboot System Now or PowerOff, appears "Verifying DMVerity Hash Tree..." and then "Failed" and my phone restarts again in Recovery.
I tried Wipe data and cache but Nothing!
Then I tried to repair firmware with Kies 3: No errors but my phone won't boot!!
And then I tried another firmware file with Odin but nothing!
The phone is Completely Stock! Recovery Mode and Download Mode work and the phone is recognised by PC.
Please help me!
Thanks in advance

Have you tried doing a "Factory Data Reset" in stock recovery yet?
If not, do that before doing anything else.
The Factory Data Reset in stock recovery will WIPE your internal
sdcard but it will not wipe your external SD if you have one.
Also it would be very helpful to know the exact filename(s) of the
stock firmware(s) which you have tried to odin flash and what the
model of your phone is. (G938F) or other variant?)
Good luck and have a great day!

Thanks for your reply!
Yes I tried Wiped data/Factory Reset and Wipe cache partition in Stock Recovery..
Device: Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
Model: SM-G935F
Firmwares tha I tried to flash with Odin:
Netherlands (Android 6.0.1) G935FXXU1APF2_G935FPHN1APE2_G935FXXU1APEQ_PHN
Italy (Android 6.0.1) G935FXXU1APF2_G935FITV1APE2_ITV
If flashing succeeds, and you still have the same problem:
go back with your device where you bought it
You can't solve it yourself, and probably something is wrong/defect with the main-board
When you 1st discovered the continuous reboot:
1. why did you not go to the store where you bought your phone?
2. why trying to flash "other firmware" on your phone instead of your "original firmware"?
What's your original CSC? Flash your phone with your original phone's CSC and bring your phone back for repair and/or replacement!

Are you using the latest version of Odin3?
The latest version is "3.11.1" if not here
is the download link for it, give it a try:

Good luck,
Have a great day!

If flashing succeeds, and you still have the same problem:
go back with your device where you bought it
You can't solve it yourself, and probably something is wrong/defect with the main-board
When you 1st discovered the continuous reboot:
1. why did you not go to the store where you bought your phone?
2. why trying to flash "other firmware" on your phone instead of your "original firmware"?
What's your original CSC? Flash your phone with your original phone's CSC and bring your phone back for repair and/or replacement!

In attacchments there are images of Recovery Mode.
I don't know CSC because phone won't boot to see the code.. Kies says that CSC code is PE2
I can not do anything.. right?

I tried with Kies3 but the problem remains.. I think with Smartswitch is the same thing because the file and the installation procedure is identical.. I don't know

But smartswitch is newer and supports most samsung devices 5.0 and up.Kies is not meant for anything higher than kitkat.

So I'll try with SmartSwitch..
So I have a friend who decided to mess with his phone, of course without doing a backup, and now he's stuck in a situation that it can't boot even into recovery.
Currently all I see when booting to recovery:
Recovery Booting. . . . .
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
The phone is G900F
He has no idea what version was installed on it before.
I don't need the phone to boot, I need to recover the files on it.
Being a oneplus person myself, I'm not that familiar with samsung phones (my latest samsung was s2).
I've tried to install with odin (3.0.7 - if that matters) the following recoveries:
official twrp 2.8.7
twrp
cwm
All these recoveries showed "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" message as well as the above when trying to boot into recoveries.
I've tried the official recovery as well:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/sm-g900f-stock-recovery-5-0-lollipop-t3228871
which removed the "seandroid" message, but that's all.
Not sure what I'm missing.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hmm...
I see that your friend messed up his phone very well .....
Hopefully the eMMC memory is not corrupted becuase then only motherboard replacement would be necessary.
Summarising what you wrote:
1. you flashed "official recovery 2.8.7" -> where did you get it from? 2.8.7 is the very old version!
2. you flashed unofficial TWRP very old (2014) recovery (I checked your link)
3. you flashed unofficial CWM very old (2014) recovery (I checked your link)
4. finally you flashed stock, from old OS 5.0 Lollipop recovery provided from entrusted source - nobody reported that it works in the thread.
I listed this for you in order to underline one thing - READ, READ, READ, ASK, ASK, ASK .... before flashing anything to the phone and tell it to your friend.
Le's start with flashing from ODIN ver 3.12.7 (I am using it) this version of TWRP:
twrp-3.1.1-0-klte.img.tar for G900F which is the latest official recovery:
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys5qualcomm.html
Read how to flash it with odin method (when you open the link).
Edit: Are you sure the phone is SM-G900F? Please check model number on the label under battery (inside the phone).
Edit2: When you enter odin mode check phone model version as well - it is provided by installed bootloader.

First, thank you for trying to help me!
Please see attachments:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1euC7-CoBeeUQxTGXQnPPgRE2-5VxFXLh
You can see that it is indeed g900f. I've also checked under the battery.
I've flashed the recovery you asked, however I could not find odin 3.12.7 only 3.12.10, so I've flashed with that (the odin thread on xda does not provide a link for 3.12.7 download).
You can see that it's still not booting with that recovery, it's just stuck at "booting recovery" screen.
I'm thinking perhaps it has a bad bootloader? How would you suggest to proceed?

Ok. Let's continue ... I hope (as I had very similar situation) that the phone is not hardbricked and eMMC memory is not corrupted -> I faced this on my phone and finally had to replace motherboard.
But let's be optimistic:
1. For data recovery - I don't have a silver bullet for this but I found this software: http://www.recover-android-iphone.com/recover-android/how-to-recover-data-bricked-samsung.html
It needs working odin mode so under condition that it supports s5 G900F it should be able to restore some data.
2. For unbricking - I recommend to flash via odin the latest official Samsung stock firmware dedicated to your friend's country/region:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s5/SM-G900F/
You must be registered to download the software. Link for odin 3.12.7 is available on the bottom of the download page.
Just to underline - odin flash most probably (anybody please confirm that) will wipe your data so be aware of that.
Good luck.

Why a full firmware is needed? Perhaps I can flash only the parts required to get into recovery? I count mount the phone from recovery, that's why it's my priority.
I would like to know also if odin will wipe everything if flashing a full firmware?

Because it is commonly recommended way to unbrick a phone.

Perhaps, yes. But:
1. I don't exactly know what restricts your recovery to run properly. Flashing separate recovery failed.
2. You, for example, could try flashing separately one of the latest bootloaders dedicated to G900F from BL section with odin but I doubt it would help.

As far as I know yes but I am not 100% sure because I didn't try that myself on s5.
I would appreciate if somebody else confirms that.

In my opinion, if odin mode works then bootloader should be OK. But as you wish -
tell me first what stock firmware will you later on trying to flash on your friends phone or in which country the phone will be operated.

Latest available Firmware version for Hong Kong is G900FZHS1CQD1 however I can't find a separate flashable bootloader for you.
Generaly, in my opinion you might try any of the latest bootloaders compatible with SM-G900F phone (here you can find a collection: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54094068&postcount=3, I am on G900FXXS1CQI4) but again:
1. I doubt it will help for entering recovery;
2. I still recommend to flash complete stock firmware to unbrick the phone.
However if you anyway decide to try with a bootloader, flash it with odin from BL section (untick auto reboot). Also turn off the phone before and after flashing and pull out battery for about 30 sec. It happens that bootloader doesn't flash properly at once even the odin says "PASS" so some people reported that they needed to repeat flashing a few times. I managed to flash bootloader at first time.
Unfortunateely the phone is not with me anymore, so I won't be able to continue testing. Thank you anyway for trying to help me! I really appreciate your help!
Hello guys
My phone is Galaxy S7 Edge Duos- SM935FD. I seem to have bricked the device.
Below are the actions I have performed.
1. Flashed TWRP using ODIN as described on https://www.the***********.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/
2. Booted successfully into the OS. Found superuser app installed.
3. When I went to back to Flash ROM i erased multiple things such as internal storage/dalvik/cache/system after which device got stuck in bootloop. Showing NO OS.
4. I tried flasing Custom ROM Zip files through OTG. The process failed showing package corrupt and still stuck in bootloop.
I can enter recovery/download mode however cant seem to get the device booted. How can I get the device to work either Custom or stock ROM.
I will be going through some threads in the meantime, your guidance is very much appreciated.
Flash stock rom with Odin: This shouldnt be posted on Development Forum but rayher questions and Answers.
Find what your Stock Firmware for your phone is using Sammobile and flash stock then re do rooting and TWRP Process
zzThrain is right -- I wouldn't risk flashing custom ROMs at this stage, especially because many contain new bootloaders or other stuff that might make this even worse for you. Just pick up the relevant Samsung stock ROM file (from, for example, SamMobile) and see if it boots normally again. Once it does, re-do the process *after checking all MD5s of the files you used* -- I, too, have had it happen before that a download went corrupted and I flashed it. If all is well, get into Download Mode and let Odin rip.

Go to recovery mode & transfer rom to phone using pc. wipe cache, delvikcache, data only. No need to wipe internal sd. Install rom & reboot.
if you phone goes to recovery or download mode, no need to worry. If it doesn't go to neither recovery nor download mode, them your phone might have probably bricked.
It's my pleasure to help you if you still facing this problem

Hi
I tried flashing stock rom from sammobile. I could find for SM-935FD hence downloaded SM-935F.
It got stuck at 90% showing System in ODIN.
From the ZIP file which is the file that needs to be flashed among below ? I tried AP.
AP_G935FXXU2DRB6_CL12365438_QB16944063_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar
BL_G935FXXU2DRB6_CL12365438_QB16944063_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
CP_G935FXXU2DRAG_CL648265_QB8691891_SIGNED.tar
CSC_OJV_G935FOJV2DRAG_CL12785220_QB16560277_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
HOME_CSC_OJV_G935FOJV2DRAG_CL12785220_QB16560277_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
Now when I try again it immediately shows FAIL. Am i Flashing the right stock rom ?
It Worked. Thanks to all who helped.
I wasn't running ODIN as Admin and also was using an slightly older version V3.10.7.
