Hi,
I have a Samsung J5 Prime (SG570M) that is stuck in download mode. I flashed the stock rom with Odin (both last version) and when the flashing ends, it says 'successful' in Odin, but when the phone reboots it doesn't boot up, the screen remains black. The samsung logo doesn't even appear. Any suggestion what could it be or what should I do? I have done this a few times and followed all steps, and already tried changing PC, USB port and cables. I don't know what else to do or what I'm doing wrong.
Any help would be awesome, thanks in advance!
Are you able to enter recovery mode and wipe the cache?
Thanks again for answering
No, I'm not able to enter recovery neither. Tried every possible button combination :/

Hi all,
I have a UK N910F 32GB Snapdragon Note 4, with a custom Lollipop rom that I've been using with no problems for a few months (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-bob4-devbase-multi-csc-safe-bloat-t3033881). Yesterday the weirdness began - my Note 4 froze randomly in normal use and rebooted. It was then fine for around 5 hours, then froze again, and when it restarted it would continue to freeze on start-up. At that stage I could still boot into recovery (Clockwork Manager custom recovery), so I tried clearing cache and dalvik, which changed nothing. But now I am unable to do even that - it just gets stuck in bootloop and won't even go into recovery.
When I turn it on, it will stay on the Samsung splashscreen for 10 seconds, then reboot and vibrate twice, then go back onto splashscreen, reboots, etc. I need to remove the battery to stop this. The only thing I am able to do is boot into download mode, where the phone works with Odin fine, and I am able to flash successfully with Odin.
So far I have tried reflashing a stock UK 5.0.1 ROM - it initially gave me the ext4 error but I then got the N910F pit file and repartitioned - Odin flashing completed fine, then still got stuck on splashscreen with "Recovery booting...."). I have also tried to flash CWM and TWRP, which both flash fine, but then the phone still won't boot into recovery - I get:
#1 Battery in
#2 power on
#3 vibrate
#4 screen on RECOVERY BOOTING
Recovery is NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
and doesn't boot into recovery. I'm pretty sure I'm using the correct TWRP and CWM versions.
I've spent all day trawling XDA and the wider web with no luck. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I'm hoping it is a softbrick but cannot work out how to get it back. I don't care about losing any data at this stage, just keen to bring my Note 4 back to life!
TL;DR: phone will stay on bootloop when powered on - not caused by failed software install, just started happening randomly. Cannot boot into recovery. Download mode works and can flash with Odin, but all attempted flashes so far haven't helped even when Odin succeeds in flashing.

Have you tried flashing your variants cf-root file with auto reboot unchecked, let it Pass, remove USB abd battery, wait 30 seconds and reboot? Sounds weird.. i know, but for a while that put many users on 5.0.1 softbricks back to their previous working ROM.
I've just done that, it flashed successfully, I took battery and cable out and then rebooted after 30 seconds - it is now booting onto Samsung bootscreen, says:
RECOVERY BOOTING
Recovery is NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
Then reboots itself, same thing happens, reboots itself - back to a bootloop, but with the above written.
What's the fix for the above? Does it mean the recovery installed is wrong for the Android Rom version I have?
Thanks for your help so far, much appreciated.

If you can still boot into the download mode and want to boot into the system as normal, using Samsung's Smart Switch tool will work. Search Google for "Samsung Smart Switch" no quotes, install the program then after finished installing, in the application, click MORE at the Smart Switch window, then click Emergency software recovery and initialization, then follow on-screen steps.

Just tried that, same issue. When it boots after installation, it says "Recovery booting..." in top left corner, then goes into bootloop. Thanks for the tip though.
Any other ideas out on the grapevine? Or is it time for a return?
I'm having the same issue. Tried stock ANK4, BOB4 and BOC3. Only bootloops and can't reach recovery mode.
Than I tried TWRP 2.8.7.0 and "philz_touch_6.59.0-trlte" but they don't work either.
Don't know what to do now. Never had this issue before on any Samsung device
EDIT: Tried Samsung Smart Switch and it dowloaded PDA: OC3 / CSC: OB6 / PHONE: OC3 (DTM). But my Note bootloops furthermore
Saw 2 other guys with the same Problem and no solution here.
And I found this. This could be the same issue we are facing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030
Hope there is a dev that can make this for our 910F
Hi all
This is now also happening to me...
Have Odind back to stock and it works for about 4 hours,
Then issue starts...
Reboots randomly
Then reboots to blank screen... No recovery
Again uk note 4. 910f
Hi, Im new to the forum.
My Galaxy S5 LTE-A (G906S) has been stuck in a boot loop. I successfully restored it through Kies a month ago but now its doing the same thing.
I've now tried flashing with both, Kies and Odin, but it still appears to be in a boot loop but now with a prompt at the top "recovery booting" in blue.
Also I can only access the download mode and cant seem to enter recovery. If i try to charge it while off it enters bootloop. Hope it isnt a hardware problem... Can anyone please shed some light on the issue.
Thanks
PS. The device isnt/wasnt rooted.

Can you suggest which one on here would do the job

Ive tried the 3 on the top, to no avail
Hey guys,
I really need your help. I have done an update of my twrp. My phone is rooted.
Now after it the phone stucks at the boot logo "Samsung Galaxy S8 powered by Android".
The hotkey combination for booting to Recovery does not work; nothing happens. The hotkey combination for download mode works.
I tried applying TWRP via Odin; nothing changed. What can I do? I don't want to lose all data
- skrippi
EDIT:
Problem solved: TWRP Version twrp-3.1.1-2-dreamlte.img.tar seems to be broken. DOwngraded via odin and it works again!
flash stock rom through odin then flash twrp. yes you will lose your data this is why it is advisable to keep a backup.
[ORIGINAL POST] - solution further down - (TLDR do not reboot into system after flashing recovery)
Hi,
I'm trying to install TWRP but when i've flashed PDA via ODIN and reboot into recovery, this is what i get. [see images] https://imgur.com/a/zfdvs
TWRP file from TWRP website: 'twrp-3.2.1-0-dream2lte.img.tar' for Samsung Galaxy S8+ (Exynos) (dream2lte)
As this did not work i tried to flash new BL and CP and then i retried to install TWRP, no luck.
Can you please help me! Thanks!
I also tried flashing TWRP (another version just to be safe) via heimdall, but that didnt work either. The enitire prosess is fine, but when i reboot into recovery i still get to the same page. [see images above]
[SOLUTION]
*Do not* boot into system after flashing recovery (TWRP), instead, make sure to boot directly into recovery.
Apparently Samsung Reinstalls recovery when you boot into system after flashing TWRP (or any other recovery for that matter). I do not know if it's like this for all Samsung devices or only the S8, but that's the way it is.

I had the same problem and found instructions to press volume down + bixby + power and then start the Odin load. The load went fine but my phone locked up at the Samsung Logo screen. I tried getting back to the download mode but the screen went black. Now the phone will not power on at all. Exceedingly frustrating.
I've spent 2 hours trying to work out what did I do wrong (checking hashes, odin version, etc) and the simple solution was to boot into recovery right away after flashing via Odin. Thanks!

I've followed different procedures but basically use ODIN to push TWRP to my SP-580. After that, the tablet reboots. I disconnect the cable and power the tablet down. I then hold VOLUME DOWN and VOLUME UP and connect the cable again. But instead of going into recovery mode, it just shows me the percent charged dial. I can get no further than that and have done that at least 15 times. HELP???? Thank you!!
Long story short - when using wifi my s7 edge started to restart several times until it got to boot loop. I tried various things, enter and exit download mode, factory reset, partition cache clear, nothing helped. I tried to flash stock firmware several times (different versions) but it didn't help. I can go to recovery and download mode, odin recognizes the device and passes the flashing, however it does not boot. Always stuck on "galaxy s7 edge" screen.
Do you guys have any idea what could I do? I was thinking about installing twrp, however will I be able to install it if the setting in developers setting "OEM unlock" was not enabled?

Hello,
You don't have to worry, your phone isn't broken, i flash roms every day so i'm very familiar with does kind of "Errors". I'm here to assist you.
So without the OEM Unlock option enabled your phone won't be able to boot to recovery neither system if you flash a custom rom, flashing the stock firmware via Odin is the only way so try does steps:
1. Download stock firmware for your model from sammobile.
2. Extract the files and place them in the correct tab.
3. Disable auto-reboot in option panel.
4. Soon after it finish flashing, long press volume down and power button until screen turns off, then quickly press volume up, home button and power button.
5. Phone should now boot to recovery from which you have to do a factory reset and wipe cache/data.
6. Restart system.
Phone should boot just fine now, it might take 5 minutes for the first boot, if you're stuck for more than 5 minutes i would kindly ask you to take a picture of your log in recovery.
If you manage to boot the phone go to developer settings and enable OEM unlock then you can flash TWRP and from TWRP a custom rom.
If you have questions and still need help, feel free to pm me for anything, i'm here to help you!
Grettings,

So I took it to the service, it was a faulty motherboard.
I have same issue with my s7 edge, but with AT&T version (G935A). I couldn't find the firmware from sammobile as previous instruction from SwitchDeath. Do I have any other option to download the firmware from other source? Nothing seem to work for me from all other forum instructions and downloads, it just stuck in "galaxy s7 edge" screen on and off and not reboot at all. Please help!
