Hello to you all,
I've downloaded and flashed the original samsung lolipop rom for my SM-T535, but something went wrong and it gets stuck at boot (samsung logo) and once or twice it boots up but freezes when I'm making the initial setup (google account etc.) and restarts and stops at boot indefinitely.
Now I want to go back to kitkat and I've downloaded the correct firmware for my region (Spain), but I've been unable to flash it. Odin tries flashing it (almost completing the process), but it says FAIL at the end. I try installing lolipop again (and Odin succeeds flashing it), still stuck at boot, but I can access recovery mode. I then make the factory reset and wipe cash, and try flashing kitkat again, but still Fail.
I would really appreciate some help, if anybody has an idea what could the problem be.
One other thing, when ODIN fails I try accessing recovery mode, but it says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
Can you flash a custom ROM?
TWRP Not Installed ... ODIN Shows PASS ... I Tried Both ROOTED TWRP Manager (ROOT)
And Using ODIN Please Help Me:laugh:
Untick auto-reboot in odin. After you flashed twrp, turn off the phone manually and boot into recovery using the key combo.
Model: SM-G900P
I've tried every kind of rom flashing here, re-partitioning, recovery images, etc.
I really just want to get to the stock recovery mode with out the auto boot loop.
Please help.
What else do you need to know?
Try flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0 with ODIN, and boot into TWRP recovery
If you can get into TWRP, you have a very powerful recovery with a lot more options than stock, to try and get things working again before going back to 100% stock - if that's what you're aiming for

The flash seem to work via ODIN. See image below.
But it is still stuck in a boot loop for normal booting or for recovery mode.
Am I using Odin incorrectly??

A lot of newer S5s do the same thing (Except they usually boot back into stock recovery, but as yours isn't working, same thing)
Follow this guide (Using the correct version TWRP for your model S5)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64961009&postcount=2
You can ignore steps that are not relevant to flashing TWRP, or follow them all for a rooted phone (Apart from reactivation lock as you can't boot yet)

I followed these steps:
"3) boot into download mode.
4) Odin flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 (specifically this version).
5) DO NOT allow phone to boot, (uncheck auto reboot in odin and if necessary remove the battery as soon as the TWRP flash has completed) then.....
6) boot directly into recovery. (Vol +, Power & Home button combination)"
Although, they were not very specific....
To flash with odin, I used the AP button and did not let it auto reboot. Removed battery immediately. tried to reboot in recovery and saw the same issue.
I think I need all files.
BL
AP
CP
CSC
and possibly to re-partition with a PIT file
You say in the first post you have already repartitioned?
PIT file is for repartitioning
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2799613&d=1402839135
Extract to .pit, add to PIT section in ODIN, add ROM to AP section, flash both together
You can try older versions of ODIN for TWRP to, some people have success with version starting 3.07 > 3.10.7
I was able to do the PIT and the TWRP at the same time.
Although, my phone said "SECURE CHECK FAIL : pit" on the screen, it seemed to do everything.
But upon reboot to try to get to Recovery (power, home, Vol+), it no longer waits and reboots/recycles. It fails with a message that says "Could not do normal boot." and send me to Download mode.....
If I try to boot normally, I still get the boot loop....
I just used the PIT file I used last time and it's back to where I was when I started this post.
Endless reboot cycle...
Maybe the bootloader needs to be flashed?
Ok. My issue with the failing pit (and any other failures from Odin) was a combination of using a bad version of Odin or a bad version of the tar or pit files.
I am able to flash the latest stock rom g900p OK4 just fine.
I can flash twrp just fine as well.
But the boot loop cycle still remains.
I believe I know exactly what I need here and it's the stock OK4 boot loader.
Here's an Odin flashable OK4 bootloader for the G900P. https://mega.nz/#!9ItUDZ7C

Bootloader file was exactly what I was asking for. Thanks.
However, it did not solve the problem.
Boot loop cycle going on still after stock BL, Ap, PIT all flashed....
Any other suggestions ???? Please. From anyone?
I'm sorry to write in this old topic, but I want to know if you solved your problem, as I'm having the same trouble. Everytime I turn on the phone it stucks on bootloop, and after 5 to 10 cycles it starts. When trying to enter to Recovery it stucks on bootloop and never enters. I've tried with TWRP or Philz CWM but it just doesn't enter to recovery :'(
I have unlocked bootloader, running debolted stock rooted MM 6.0.1 rom. Right now I am on stock recovery, I want to install TWRP. Please guide me.
Download TWRP just Google it I think the most recent version is 3.0.2.2
then once you get the tar file install it via odin in the ap or pda slot
your phone has to be in download mode to use odin
Once your phone reboots turn it off or pull battery whichever works then boot into recovery mode there you should see twrp

Buy a jig to go on the download mode isn't too much expensive and then flash your stock rom using odin
I already flashed with stock ROM via Odin and it goes in download mode but same problem. I want to hard reset device but doesn't go into recovery mode.....help
Last option would be to extract the pit-file from the 4-file csc package and load it toghether with 4-file firmware in odin, tick re-partition and hope for the best.
If that won't work I'm afraid that your nand is damaged beyound repair, or some other partition is corrupt.
