As the title says I tried to root my phone and got into this situation. I followed a video from TheUnlockr
I put my phone into developer mode and the OEM unlock.
I completed the Odin3 boot img using Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR file that I got from XDA developers. It said it passed
Afterwords I'm stuck in the reboot loop. I can get into the the teal custom OS download screen as well as the recovery booting screen that does the "Installing system update" animation and I get a "No Command" screen with a dead Android, after a bit it lets me into the Android Recovery screen. I've tried Reboot system now, no go, reboot to bootloader no joy that goes to the "Downloading... Do not turn off target" message.
I believe my bootloader got gorked with the rooted boot.
How can I get back to just a usable OS? I've downloaded the stock firmware from Sammobile but that's taking 2-3 hours. Am I just until that finishes downloading?
Yeah, wait until file finishes and than of course flash with odin. Sometimes Sammobile is slow, you may try downloading firmware from uptodato.com (if you've fast internet connection).

Hi all,
I have a UK N910F 32GB Snapdragon Note 4, with a custom Lollipop rom that I've been using with no problems for a few months (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-bob4-devbase-multi-csc-safe-bloat-t3033881). Yesterday the weirdness began - my Note 4 froze randomly in normal use and rebooted. It was then fine for around 5 hours, then froze again, and when it restarted it would continue to freeze on start-up. At that stage I could still boot into recovery (Clockwork Manager custom recovery), so I tried clearing cache and dalvik, which changed nothing. But now I am unable to do even that - it just gets stuck in bootloop and won't even go into recovery.
When I turn it on, it will stay on the Samsung splashscreen for 10 seconds, then reboot and vibrate twice, then go back onto splashscreen, reboots, etc. I need to remove the battery to stop this. The only thing I am able to do is boot into download mode, where the phone works with Odin fine, and I am able to flash successfully with Odin.
So far I have tried reflashing a stock UK 5.0.1 ROM - it initially gave me the ext4 error but I then got the N910F pit file and repartitioned - Odin flashing completed fine, then still got stuck on splashscreen with "Recovery booting...."). I have also tried to flash CWM and TWRP, which both flash fine, but then the phone still won't boot into recovery - I get:
#1 Battery in
#2 power on
#3 vibrate
#4 screen on RECOVERY BOOTING
Recovery is NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
and doesn't boot into recovery. I'm pretty sure I'm using the correct TWRP and CWM versions.
I've spent all day trawling XDA and the wider web with no luck. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I'm hoping it is a softbrick but cannot work out how to get it back. I don't care about losing any data at this stage, just keen to bring my Note 4 back to life!
TL;DR: phone will stay on bootloop when powered on - not caused by failed software install, just started happening randomly. Cannot boot into recovery. Download mode works and can flash with Odin, but all attempted flashes so far haven't helped even when Odin succeeds in flashing.

Have you tried flashing your variants cf-root file with auto reboot unchecked, let it Pass, remove USB abd battery, wait 30 seconds and reboot? Sounds weird.. i know, but for a while that put many users on 5.0.1 softbricks back to their previous working ROM.
I've just done that, it flashed successfully, I took battery and cable out and then rebooted after 30 seconds - it is now booting onto Samsung bootscreen, says:
RECOVERY BOOTING
Recovery is NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
Then reboots itself, same thing happens, reboots itself - back to a bootloop, but with the above written.
What's the fix for the above? Does it mean the recovery installed is wrong for the Android Rom version I have?
Thanks for your help so far, much appreciated.

If you can still boot into the download mode and want to boot into the system as normal, using Samsung's Smart Switch tool will work. Search Google for "Samsung Smart Switch" no quotes, install the program then after finished installing, in the application, click MORE at the Smart Switch window, then click Emergency software recovery and initialization, then follow on-screen steps.

Just tried that, same issue. When it boots after installation, it says "Recovery booting..." in top left corner, then goes into bootloop. Thanks for the tip though.
Any other ideas out on the grapevine? Or is it time for a return?
I'm having the same issue. Tried stock ANK4, BOB4 and BOC3. Only bootloops and can't reach recovery mode.
Than I tried TWRP 2.8.7.0 and "philz_touch_6.59.0-trlte" but they don't work either.
Don't know what to do now. Never had this issue before on any Samsung device
EDIT: Tried Samsung Smart Switch and it dowloaded PDA: OC3 / CSC: OB6 / PHONE: OC3 (DTM). But my Note bootloops furthermore
Saw 2 other guys with the same Problem and no solution here.
And I found this. This could be the same issue we are facing:

Hope there is a dev that can make this for our 910F
Hi all
This is now also happening to me...
Have Odind back to stock and it works for about 4 hours,
Then issue starts...
Reboots randomly
Then reboots to blank screen... No recovery
Again uk note 4. 910f
Heya
I followed a guide to download odin and CF auto Root-k3g-k3gxx-smg900h. I installed odin, booted into download and loaded the cf autoroot.
It takes a while before going to blue "RESET" and then my phone keeps showing the samsung logo.
After 2min Odin shows a green "PASS".
However I'm now stuck with a phone that won't boot and keeps showing the samsung logo.
I have tried the advice given in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2725939
Any advice would be appreciated.
After flashing with Odin did your recovery boot and do its thing, or did your phone reboot and just hanged on the Samsung screen? If the latter occurred, try repeat the entire Odin process again.
Heya.
I repeated the process, but while it says "Blue Reset" it's still sits at the samsung logo. The only way to then reboot is to take the battery out and put it back in. Then when I press vol up+pwr+home; nothing happens except the logo. No recovery mode.
The only thing that I seem to have access to is the Downloading.

Flash stock ROM again with ODIN
Don't use CF AR to root again, some phones just brick like that
Flash TWRP recovery, then SuperSU from TWRP instead
Hello,
I decided to try and root my phone yesterday in order to use flux and the AdAway for my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9007. However when i used Odin instead of saying "Pass" it was saying "Reset". As it was my first time doing anything like this, I unplugged my phone which seemed to have been the wrong move. My phone would vibrate once or twice and then reboot to show me the Samsung logo and the words "Recovery is not Seandroid forcing". It would show that screen for approximately 2 seconds where it turns off and repeats the process. Whilst off for that period of time I cannot enter recovery mode. However I can enter the download mode (vol. down + power). I have researched a bit on what to do however I am still a bit unsure.
*It seems the main problem is I can not enter recovery mode at all. As the logo shows it just turns off instantly and then turns back on getting stuck in a loop.
What I gathered online.
- Download the stock firmware for it. (The file I'm downloading is roughly 1.3 gb)
- Load the file the same way I tried to root the phone.
Is this correct? Could I get some assistance please?
Thank you
I have managed to resolve the error by loading in the stock firmware with Odin.

Just so you know, it's normal for the message: "Recovery is not Seandroid forcing" to appear when you root the phone.
Also, if you unplugged the phone after it said "Pass", then theoretically you shouldn't have a problem.
So the steps for a successful root would be:
1. Flash stock
2. Flash custom recovery (TWRP)
3. Flash superSU.zip file from custom recovery
And you should now be rooted

Yea I made the mistake of choosing the wrong CFRoot file. The one I installed was for Android version 4.3 whereas my device was 5.0. After retrying I manged to get the root to work. Thanks anyways!
I try to root my phone using this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039, but I think it is too old to apply on my phone. I followed step by step until I installed the root.tar file using Odin. After that moment, my phone went on with the boot loop, but I can still access to recovery booting. I went on and try to find a way to fix it. I saw youtube saw a video that designed especially for S7/S7 edge. He downloaded a firmware from SamMobile and use Odin to reset the whole thing. I tried the same, using the Odin, getting into the Downloading mode. Successfully download the firmware into my phone, and phone starting to reboot. Again that same boot loop except, I couldn't get into Recovery booting though.
Now the the phone keeps rebooting with the Recovery Booting on top of corner left.
How can I fix it?
Should I bring it to store?
I read a guide here confirm it's not bricked.

After understanding what are definition of AP, BL, CP, and CSC. Instead of flashing only AP, I flash all 4. And for some reason, I got into the Recovery Mode where I can factory reset my phone.
Power+VolumeDown+Home will reset phone. Then hold Power+VolumeDown+Home for Download Mode or Power+VolumeUp+Home for recovery mode. Once in recovery mode, just wait a minute or two and that should always bring you back to the standard Android recovery screen where you can either apply adb update.zip via sideload or reboot phone to system (which should kick you out of this loop).
Hi all, so after trying to get rid of the FRP on my Galaxy S7 with Odin, I essentially bricked my phone and now it is stuck on a boot loop at first it was with the Samsung Logo screen, but I decided to screw up even more and now it is stuck on a boot loop that only displays "RECOVERY BOOTING" unable to get into the recovery it just sits there with the blue letters popping up. The files that I ended up flashing that bricked my phone were within this following thread just for reference. I was confused on what images to flash so I ended up flashing two of them a custom BOOT image and a RECOVERY image. Unable to succeed as the phone ended up on a boot loop. Any help is welcome. Thanks.

Try to reach odin download mode
Restart your phone using power home vol down and keep holding it until you reach the bootloader.
Hit OK to reach odin and flash Twrp version 3.2.2.0 hero2lte version.
Using odin 3.13 tick the ap box and flash the twrp recovery version 3.2.2.0 by pressing start.
Reach recovery by force starting power home vol down then immediately holding power home vol up to reach twrp.
even if you can't reach twrp you should be able to flash an official stock android os using the ap box in odin.
If your having bootloops it helps to flash only 1 check box at a time.
In short flash stock firmware then enable the oem unlock in developers options to disable the frp lock.
