that's just a soft brick...
If u have orignal bill and have not rooted the phone before,go to a Samsung care and have it fixed.
Dont mess with it anymore,u may trip Knox,resulting in warranty void
edit:wait,u have custom system status,download a 4.4.2 for ur region and flash it

are u worried abt ur warranty?
coz if u flashed stock 4.3 then knox was installed too ..

If u don't care abt that, wipe clean everything then flash any rom, it will do fine..

Flash the correct TWRP for your phone through Odin .
That means a tar version of TWRP for your model .
That fails flash a stock rom via Odin .

You are not following the correct way to flash. That is why the twrp wont stick at recovery.
Follow my advice as follow:
1. Remove battery
2. Odin flash TWRP

You should make a search before posting a question. Here's my thread of twrp recovery for J5 MM. Everything's explained over their in detail just download the recovery for your device model and follow the flashing instructions. The link that you are referring to is twrp recovery for Lollipop.

That link you attached is good
its the one many G900H users using
no one else faced the issue of bricking the device
maybe you must have dirty flashed several roms so it must have bricked
Try repartition with PIT
no other way i think
Keeps failing

do this
use laptop ( shutdown once and turn it back on and use )
use different usb 2.0 cable
use new odin application
Use New MM based Firmware
if it doesnt boot
then flash PIT alone in odin
then if stock recovery comes clear data and cache
and then install twrp and flash new roms
if not work i dont have any other solutions
:good::good:

I have a similar problem. I have a note 3 with original UK ROM and wanted to flash my operator ROM to get wifi calling. Both are android 5.0
The problem is after trying to flash the first time I had a problem that the new ROM would not fully flash. reading posts I understood I had to flash PIT file which I downloaded and flashed. After flashing PIT the new ROM did not go in so I flashed my original UK.
After reboot I kept getting security warnings that something has changed and I should reboot. After several boots the problem did not go away.
So I tried to flash ROM again, different tries between UK ROM and my operator ROM, but the phone now only loops at booting. Sometimes it gets stuck at first Samsung screen.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you
What original rom.
What rom you updated to ?
Probable you flashed the wrong size PIT .

Hi,
So the following:
Original ROM: N9005XXUGBOK6_N9005BTUGBOJ1_BTU
My operator (EE): N9005XXUGBPB1_N9005EVRGBPB1_EVR
Now I tried: 4.4.2.N9005XXUGNG1_N9005OXAGNG1_BTU
I tried the following PITS:
SM-N9005 FTM pit
SM-G900F EVR pit
Any suggestions, would be very grateful.
Thanks
SM-G900F EVR pit
Thats not for N9005 .
Have you tried Samsungs KIES ??
So which Pit to rectify?
Yes I also tried Kies 3 but cannot connect. I have tried under recovery mode and download mode. Odin connects fine though. Not sure why.

From closed thread .
You changed to the wrong model firmware and that's a guess as you give no indication .
Another guess is that you ticked the wrong boxes in Odin .

I installed TWRP 3.1.1 as per link above and tried to backup my DATA partition but it is 0MB
I'm afraid Factory reset also failed. I get a bunch of error messages such as:
Failed to mount /data
Formatting cache
Unable to mount storage
Any ideas?
The good news is I still have access to recovery and download.
