I attempted to flash stock SM-G935V CSC VZW obtained via Frija using ODIN 3.14.4. Slelected HOME CSC to try and preserve data. I know the phone memory was approaching capacity prior to black screen/flashing blue LED. The flash "Passed" and immediately after all I got was Recovery dowloading...... and then hung. Then after several attempts to get into recovery I watched Loading system file up to about 32% then erasing. It then progressed from the Samsung to the Verizon logo and stopped. Now, when I attempt to enter recovery All I get is the blue Recovery downloading.... Relative novice here. Can you direct me to a guide or offer direction please? Intuitively, it seems maybe the bootloader is corrupt - but I don't know enough to understand the sequence. Prior to the Flash, I was able to enter recovery and wipe cache one time but that did not get me past being stuck on the Samsung logo screen. I did transcribe the information below the recovery and the first item was #fail to open recovery_cause (no such file or directory) then #reboot recovery cause is [unknown] File Support OTA Supported API:3 #Manual mode v1.0.0 #removed AttIqi_ATT' (No such file or directory). I would like to get recovery with files intact if possible but will wipe if needed.

Bought an Australian model galaxy S4 off ebay which was stuck at Samsung Logo with a hope I can unbrick it.
I have tried to flash with an official firmware twice. ODIN confirmed flashing Passed. But the phone still could not boot pass Samsung logo with model number.
+ Pressed volume up + Home + power button to enter into recovery mode but the phone still stuck at recovery mode with blue text "recovery booting ". Have tried to take battery out and redo few times. . All I can do is go to download mode to flash official firmware again. However I do not want to mess thing up as I have tried twice without success.
Please help me out if you have any idea how to fix it. I am much appreciate.
I am not sure if it will help or not but you can try flashing TWRP via Odin and then boot into that one (maybe recovery is corrupted as well?)
Clear cache / dalvik cache from TWRP and try booting to system again

Good idea of @th3cr0w.
I will add: It's important know what firmware had before you start to flash things. I supose you don't know it. What you can do is:
1. Flash TWRP recovery in DOWNLOAD MODE via ODIN unticking "Auto reboot". Take out the battery when the process finish. Wait 30 sec. and push it in again.
2. Boot in TWRP and wipe all (Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Select system, data, cache and dalvik cache).
3. Reboot in DOWNLOAD MODE and now yes, flash the firmware you wish via ODIN normally.
Same happens with my Galaxy s3 while ago, Problem was the EMMC chip was corrupted, And the problem was solved after replacing it from a local shop.

Thanks for your and TH3cr0w's suggestion. I will try it tonight and let you guys know. Hope I will fix it. A quick question before I do, once I install TWRP it is anyway I can remove it and reinstall official receovery?
I am using this firmware:
PDA I9505XXUGNH6
CSC I9505XSAGNH1
i have tried to install TWRP with this file twrp-2.8.6.0-jfltexx.tar 9.9M. However my phone still stuck and can not boot into recovery. up the top of screen i have following messages:
Recovery booting...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
Have i done anything wrong? Thanks
What you're seeing is normal, but recovery not installing isn't. I know you don't want to try it again, but flash your stock ROM through Odin. Do it this time with the following changes:
Add a PIT file (easily found on the forum).
Make sure "Re-partition" is selected.
The combination of the PIT file and the re-partition function should wipe the S4's internal storage and partition it properly. If there is no physical damage to the internal storage you should then be able to boot into the device. Otherwise you may have no choice but to have this beast repaired.
I just flashed TWRP for the first time but it comes up with "Unmodified System Partition" but touchscreen doesn't work for some reason so I cant select anything. I tried removing the battery and rebooting my phone (Galaxy S4 19505) But it just boots back into recovery for TWRP in the "Unmodified System Partition" . Please Help, thanks.
Edit: Should I delete the TWRP disk image from my pc? (My phone also keeps vibrating while turned off). I have also noticed that there is a non physical home back and menue button, did I download the wrong version? I used the TWRP app to download and flash the image.
Hi,
Download the latest image or tar from here: https://dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/ and flash it with either Odin or Heimdall.
Not quite sure about the notice, is it on the screen that asks you if you want to keep the system partition read-only? Then you either need to swipe or click ok.
Normally flashing a recovery should not produce the problems you are describing, did you only flash the recovery?
I booted my device with wrong image now it is turning on in loop.
Error Showing
Invalid Boot.img or Recovery.imgo fact
This may be due to downloading the non-secure image from 3rd sites.
Please POWER-OFF and flash lenovo's official image.
Flashtool should be a good option for image downloading
What can i do.
I was not able to Factory reset my device, so i downloaded recovery file from forum and tried to recover but now it s stuck
Hi, I've got a soft bricked S8. I've tried to flash stock firmware but with one, O2 it stuck on erasing at 32% and with another stopped at 24% with no command. When it boots into recovery, I get a whole list of messages at the bottom of the screen. The first one is, "#fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)#" I've googled for hours and not really got anywhere. Recovery doesn't work. It's there but buttons are unresponsive sometimes. Download mode works and shows FRP lock ON and OEM lock ON. I am sure this has something to do with it but it's outside of my knowledge range. I've attached a picture of the recovery screen. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I'm new to these threads so I can't work out how to attach a .jpg of the recovery faults. Any advice would be appreciated
Same issue here
I know this is an old thread, but did you find a solution?
On an unlocked J6, after flashing the stock rom, although I can open recovery, I get the same message. The options I tried (both reboot options, both wipe options, power off) work. I went ahead and installed twrp through odin, which passed, but when I boot into recovery, it boots into samsung recovery (with the same message) and not twrp.
I'm guessing the twrp problem is related to the error message.
I performed a factory reset from within the OS and when it restarted it was stuck on the Samsung splash page. After this I performed a reset from the recovery menu. Now the phone was stuck in a boot loop. At this point I re-flashed the factory ROM from ODIN and it is again in a boot loop. Sometimes it makes it to setting up the apps but just resets again.
For some reason the phone attempts to install an update whenever I enter the recovery and once there it states that it cannot locate files. The location of these files is "E:". I have no idea why it cannot locate anything it looks for and why " E: " is not there if it needs that location as the phone is completely stock.
Did you flash the HOME-CSC or the normal CSC file? I too got into a bootloop after a factory reset from the recovery, so flashing with the CSC file could be useful I guess. Recovery checking for an update always happens for me and it goes to recovery normally after checking.
