Hi,
I'm new to XDA forums, and this is the first time that have ever tried rooting my phone. I got it in my head that I wanted to root my Samsung Galaxy S5 SW-G900P so that I could add a hot spot mod. I followed a few tutorials which helped me accomplish root. I then added TWRP and that went fine as well. Then I added a WiFi Tethering Mod (unlockHotspot-1.4-NE5-DEODEX.zip) via TWRP. I was asked to wipe Dalvik cache which is where I think the problem started. I think I did something and stopped the delete process. I can't recall. I turned on my phone with anticipation of being able to use Hotspot. The phone started to boot as normal; the Samsung logo with lines moving around it showed; the yellow 4g 3d animated graphics showed; then the main 4g graphic showed and stayed on my screen which is where it stayed and nothing after that. Just the 4g logo. So, I pulled the battery and started my phone in recovery mode which took me directly into the TWRP interface. I figured that I needed to reload the 6gig backup file that I created (through TWRP) in order to bring my phone back to life. I believe that I was given options to install the recovery file which (I don't remember them all) already had a few check marks added to the options. However, there were other options such as the System and Recovery boxes that were not checked, so I checked those boxes as well. I reinstalled from the recovery backup file and everything seemed to work fine until TWRP rebooted the phone and now I am stuck going through the recovery booting process again. Every time I turn on the phone, I get to the teamwin screen which blinks and blinks. Did I brick or soft-brick my phone? I'm newb to this and need a little help to get my phone working again. Also, am I in the right part of the XDA forum to ask questions? Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.

Soft brick.
Go to sammobile, find your stock firmware, uzip it, flash with Odin in download mode and your phone will wake up from her sleep

Thank you, thank you! I really appreciate the reply. I downloaded the firmware this morning and just loaded it to my phone. All good now. Now, to get that hotspot mod to work.
Good to see you got your phone back up and running......but if you flashed the firmware with odin, you will have lost root and overwritten TWRP.......
You'll need both back before you can flash that zip......

For a week my G935A worked fine... direct out of the box I flashed ENG Kernel and Rooted, then installed apps and configured - no issues.
Today it was working then it hung on wake.. I tried to reboot and now it gets stuck at the AT&T logo and vibrates 3 times - over and over
I can get to Odin and Recovery screens easily so I tried to flash the ENG Kernel again & deleting Cache Partition few times - didnt fix it.
Also tried booting into Safe Mode - it never gets there, stays at AT&T logo.
When I go into the Recovery menu, I see at the bottom, in red... "dm-verity verification failed"
Anyone know how I can recover from this without Factory Reset? It took 6 hours to reinstall and config all my apps - really want to avoid that.
thx for the help!
as far as I know there is no way to fix and save your stuff. I had the same problem with G930A and even doing a factory reset would only allow my phone to boot but then I get apps crashing and then a reboot puts you back at ATT logo and the vibrates. Best to ditch the whole engboot and go back to stock until a more stable rooting method comes out.
Some searches shows posts that say using Odin to flash HOME_CSC without having to wipe and everything survive
... Where can I get HOME_CSC? I dl'd stock rom and dont see it in there.
thx!
Same here this morning on my 930A w/ PK1....went to watch a youtube vid and everything google related began crashing.
Only been on engboot for a couple days but did flash the v15 debloat last night. hmmmm.
Any luck with the files or procedure LivinOne?
Update: Flashed the PK1 CSC and got into recovery.
Wiped cache and reboot, same failure mode....sad face.
Flashed CSC again, into recovery, factory reset, wiped cache.
Back to setting my "new" device up.
Dec 30 update: Same crash, SEMI same problem.
I get the single vibration followed by the 3 vibrations after I put my pin in from a restart.
Same symptoms prior, all background activities began crashing.
Running all PK1 files from QRhinehardt post.
Any thoughts?
I ended up wiping and flashing the T-Mobile firmware and using the ENG bootloader (but not rooted yet). It is WAY faster than the AT&T was. I've only had issues with Wifi Calling (it doesnt seem to work most of the time)
s7 at&t
Hi, did you first flash with eng bootloader and then tmobile rom? I miss this step...I appreciate your help please
Single vibration followed by the 3 vibrations
Hi, were you able to fix the problem? I'm also getting the single vibration followed by the 3 vibrations.
Do you know why is this occurring? I performed a wipe cache and factory reset but still nothing.

Hi guys, I was trying to restore the stock firmware on s7 edge but I don't know exactly went wrong but right now I'm able only to put the phone in downloade mode and anything else.
And sorry for my bad, bad english.
First of all, I flashed the black peark about 6 months ago and I was just trying to remove by flashing the stock oreo firmware via odin but i was stuck at “SetupConnection” so (after that i saw the black pearl has been updated so i try to install it again) I tried booting into twrp and wipe all the partition but I was getting the error “Unable to mount partition”, what I think just broke my twrp is that to get rid of that message I tried to change the partition file system of data to ext2 (in this way I thought i could have got back in ext4). The last 2 lines were ”formattin…” and “done” but nothing happened and when my phone rebooted i was unable to do anything except going in download mode.
Please Help, I need to get my phone back to life.
Re-flash
You might need to re-flash a ROM to your device using ODIN and if you're going to root then make sure that you use the Samsung AntiRoot Removal Kit. It seems that you messed up somewhere along the line and need to start from scratch. If you get stuck and require help, just let me know. I am no expert but I'm here to help others.

Hey guys, last night my phone was working perfectly fine and suddenly today it just randomly started rebooting. That's when i noticed its stuck on a boot loop, i tried factory resetting twice and it still happens. I'm in the process of flashing stock rom to see if that helps but anyone has a faster solution i'd be grateful.

Do you by chance happen to have a copy of that stock rom? I have the exact same model I need a copy since my computer crashed and I lost the one I had.
wenergys,
latest stock here : https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...e/SM-G975F/ZTO/download/G975FXXU8CTG4/357253/
NUT go for an earlier version if you are using VPN
So tl;dr version - i was using my tablet, saw an update to magisk, installed it, now it boots to black screen while running sambones rom
[SM-P580] [BQK1] SaMBoNeS
TWRP 3.2.3.0 --> 3.3.1.0
longer story:
i was trying to get a game to run, it wasnt...and realized it has been a while for a restart, so i checked to see if anything needs to be updated and saw magisk needed an update. i didnt note what version it was before but it was a version or two earlier than what it was trying to install.
rebooted to blackscreen no samsung logo
have tried restarting a dozen times, booted to TWRP, tried to force normal system boot through the UI, nothing.
I tried installing a new kernal [SiriKernel], it made it to the samsung logo, waited 15 - 20 minutes and it never made it past. restored a backup using TWRP
updated TWRP to 3.3.1.0, still no luck.
i had this problem a long time ago, and cannot figure out how i fixed it....it may have fixed itself but it isnt this time. any advice would be appreciated. I am trying to avoid wiping and starting again if at all possible because the problem seems familiar. also trying to stick to a rom for use with adaptive storage. if i do have to wipe if that can be done on a newer stock OS that's fine as well but last time i messed with this tablet it wasnt
