Erasing Boot Loop - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi,
I was trying to root my Samsung S8 running Pie with Odin and CF AutoRoot. After the rooting took place, Knox was tripped, and my phone did a factory reset.
However, my device is now stuck in a boot loop.
The order of events is this:
1) Samsung S8 logo shows up
2) Blue screen, android appears with the text 'Erasing...' and a spinning wheel
3) Wheel starts to buffer, black screen.
4) Back to the start.
If anyone has experienced this problem before, and has been able to fix it (or not!), please do reply.
Thank you!

you have to reflash your device with the official firmware files. you can use sammobile to get the files

Try flashing from Odin with the pit file.
I tried that, seems not to work at first glance...
Then I return in diagnostic mode and do factory reset and wipe and finally...
IT BOOTED!
Great!
Many thanks!

Need assistance with Boot Loops

Hey guys,
I have a rooted Note 3 from verizon on the hyperdrive rom. today I got a message from SUbinary (something like that) that there was an update and that I need to reboot to update. So I just clicked okay and my phone restarted. However since then I'm stuck in a boot loop with the blue message in the upper left corner saying "recovery loading.." with the note 3 white logo appearing. Then the phone vibrates twice and comes back to the same screen. I don't see the custom/lock picture like I used too. I've tried multiple times to take the battery out but no luck. I can't seem to actually enter the recovery panel at all. I've tried holding the home/power/volume up but it just starts the boot loops again. Not sure what to do. I just want to the phone to work but it seems like a hard brick?

If you soft brick then u can only access download mode and if you hard brick then you need an expert. The problem is that verizon and at&t have locked bootloaders. Safestrap recovery is usually used there.
Can you reflash safestrap recovery via Odin ?
This link might be helpful cause im not so used to safestrap only know the basics.
Galaxy-note-3.wonderhowto.com/how-to/install-custom-recovery-your-bootloader-locked-galaxy-note-3-at-t-verizon-0156667/
If you cant access the recovery and only download mode then you have soft brick and need to reflash stock firmware.

HELP!!! My Galaxy S5 G900V doesn't enter NORMAL Recovery Mode!!! & Stuck in BootLoop!

HELP!!! My Galaxy S5 G900V doesn't enter NORMAL Recovery Mode!!! & Stuck in BootLoop!
I think its kinda soft brick!
:crying: Like the heading says! I am stuck in continuous Reboot LOOP!!!
And something strange about this problem!
Let me brief it out!
Firstly tried to install the latest Lollipop firmware USING ODIN v3.09 which is OG5 AND I SUCCEEDED with a PASS!
And then when I tried to restart , it got stuck in "Recovery Booting...." blue text on top left corner of the screen followed by CONTINUOUS BOOT-LOOP OF SAMSUNG SPLASH SCREEN! Not EVEN REACHING VERIZON Boot Animation which is followed by every 2 VIBRATIONS & interval of 5-10 seconds of each loop!!!
And one more thing is I cannot enter the NORMAL RECOVERY OPTION MENU! Instead I ONLY
GET "Maintenance Mode Recovery Menu" Which has 3 options
1 Normal Boot
2 Factory Reset
3 Safe mode Boot
But Sadly and STRANGELY I CANNOT GET THEM TO WORK EITHER!!! As soon as I PRESS HOME BUTTON AFTER SELECTING THE OPTION FROM ABOVE IT DOESN'T EXECUTE IT INSTEAD GETS OUT OF THE "Maintenance Mode Recovery Menu" & Continues WITH BOOT LOOP sometimes followed with Recovery booting text ! Which I believe happens when I Press Power and any of the Volume Buttons!
So I ALSO TRIED FLASHING THE OE1 Lollipop Verizon Update via ODIN WHICH ALSO PASSES WITHOUT FAIL! BUT AGAIN SAME RESULT WITH BOOTLOOP!
AND ANOTHER STRANGE THING IS THAT WHENEVER I PLUG IN THE BATTERY THE GREEN LED NOTIFICATION LIGHTS UP SOLID PERSISTENTLY WITHOUT BLINKING! UNTIL THE BATTERY IS REMOVED OUT OF THE PHONE!
SO I reallly dont know what the problem or fix to this issue! But I request you people to help me out as soon as possible!
FYI
I can BOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE! I can BOOT INTO Maintenance Mode Recovery Menu!
I searched every forum regarding this issue but to no avail!
THANK YOU!

Soft Brick after ODIN? WTF? HELP!

Hello,
My wife has the original Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 with the original firmware G900VVRU1ANCG. I attempted to use ODIN to get her phone to BPB1 and ODIN said it was successful with the green PASS logo. Upon reboot it took a while and eventually came up but all i can see is the CLOCK in the top right and after a minute or two it does a soft reboot... I'm in a continuous boot loop at this point.
I did use towelroot on her phone when she originally got it to gain root access. I did notice that when the phone is powered on it shows Custom with the unlock symbol (https://goo.gl/photos/cvnNcijris4222n27) as it has since I used towelroot... I'm assuming this is part of the problem?
What can I do to get her phone back to STOCK? I thought ODIN was the go-to???
Thanks in advance...
nevermind... i just had to wipe data/factory reset in recovery...after that it now boots normally!! sorry for the idiotic post
Just curious: why not PF4 Marshmallow?

NOTE 4 N910F Bootlooop, Shuts down, Blue Light

Hi
I am stuck with Pulsing blue LED and the "Powered by Android" screen,
have access to both the recovery and the Odin Mode,
I also have Odin (version 3.13) on my computer along with TWRP (3.1.1 trlte and 3.2.1 version)
My device is a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910F bought in shop, no special carrier. It was bought in Belgium.
I have tried everything that I have read. The furthest that I can go is the Second Samsung Logo with the Flashing Light
Whenever I try to Flash the stock Firmware for my N910F, everything goes well in Odin but then when the phone reboots, it (sometimes) install the system update until 30% then shows erasing then either crashes right there and then or load the system update bar, completes it then shuts down.
In between I do perform a wipe of the cache and factory reset of course. (in both normal and TWRP recovery)
Whatever I do, at some point, my phone either gets stuck in a bootloop, freezes with the LED light or shuts down.
Oh and I can transfer files directly to the internal storage with no issue
Please help a brother out lol. I have spent the last 4 days looking for a way to fix this. To no avail.
And I have also proceeded to use different batteries.
I have the exact same problem. Doesn't anyone have an idea?
