Hey all, first time posting here,
So, I rooted my phone a few days ago and flashed Invisiblek's CM10(Running the August 10th build), using the instructions found here. Haven't had any problems at all until now. I had to reboot my phone, and now it's stuck in a boot loop. The CWMR screen is missing the background, and it won't let me boot into ODIN mode. What do I do?
Thank you for any help!

You should be able to boot into odin by taking the battery out, and then putting it back in while holding Volume Down + Home + Power at the same time. And then just flash a stock or stock rooted image in odin.
There we go. Thank you very much!
Flashed the ROM linked from here. Now I'm stuck on the 4G LTE screen. Suggestions?
Flashed it again. Still nothing. Did I brick it?
If you can get into Odin mode, I suggest flashing back go stock and starting over. If you can't get Odin to work, or even enter download mode then you might have other problems.

I am (thankfully) able to get into odin mode. Where can I get the stock ROM for the US VZW version? I haven't been able to find that anywhere, and the thread on here only has dead links.
Flashed again, still nothing. I get stuck at the 4G LTE loading screen.
Found a stock ROM and flashed back to it. Still stuck at that screen. Did I brick it?
dont forget to wipe data/cache...
it happens
you can do this by booting into stock recovery
Volume UP + Home + power.

i love you too.. lol ive been there..
So, I've got it worked out so that I have a recovery image made of a rooted version of the stock ROM. However, I SWEAR a kitten dies every time I look at the TouchPiss interface, but whenever I try to flash Invisiblek's CM10 I get stuck in a boot loop. Any ideas as to what's causing it? I've tried clearing data/cache/davlik cache before flashing the ROM, after flashing the ROM...
Would there be any way at all that I could flash it through ODIN?

I searched around and couldn't find how to fix my booting problem. I have a Verizon Galaxy S3. I was rooted, installed ezlocked and unlocked it. I then installed ezrecovery and did a back up. Then I wiped everything on and it and tried to install CM10. It failed, so I rebooted and everything went back to stock. I repeated the ezunlock and ezrecovery and then attempted to install CM10 without wiping the data/cache(because I'm an idiot). Now when I start the phone it takes me right into the CM10 booting animation. I can't get into download mode or recovery mode. Whenever I try to get into those it takes me right back into the booting animation. Battery pulls do nothing.
I know I'm a noob and I can't believe I did this. I can't get back into CWM or download mode so I can flash through Odin. Any help would be really appreciated.

Did you try holding the power button, up on the volume, and the home button when you boot the phone to get to CWM?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
do you have the sdk set up? can you use adb?
Were you on a JellyBean baseband? If so to enter recovery you have to let go of the power button on the vibrate and keep pressing the home key + vol up.

I was going from stock ICS to CM10. But yeah, you were right. I tried like a hundred different ways to try to get into download mode. I finally got it to work and then flashed through Odin. Thanks everybody! I feel like a dumbass.
My model number is SM-G920F, after the new update my phone has been having issues, recently it just got stickstuck on the boot screen and I can't even do a hard reset, I downloaded the latest stock rom to see if that will work, after flashing successfully phone restarts but it's right back to the boot loop, I tried couple more times with the same results, I don't know what to do from here, I am out of ideas, will appreciate a lot if someone can try to help me with this problem, thanks
You downloaded and flashed the stock via the update on the phone or you do it manually? You just bricked your phone. You should be able to get into download mode. Flash the Rom update through odin, making sure you flashed the right model
Updated through OTA, my phone is international I'm thinking it's Malaysia, which I did download the stock rom and flashed it though Odin with no luck, I don't know if I have to flash something before flashing the rom? Thanks for the reply back

You should have installed TWRP as a custom recovery first via Odin, then use TWRP to flash the ROM file.
Great how-to: how to root S6 5.1.1
If you're stuck on bootloop, try holding volume down button & power button at least 7 seconds, the phone should power off.
Put it in d/l mode then again, connect it to Odin and go ahead.
Good luck!
I tried that with no luck, I don't know what to do anymore? I ran out if ideas, thanks for the reply, any others that had same issue and got it fixed?
Have you tried the method on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/sm-g920f-stuck-samsung-logo-5-1-1-update-t3150727
There's no way that I can get into recovery to wipe data & cache for the fist step, when I do try to go into recovery, the blue guy comes up and nothing happens, thanks for the reply
Did you figure out a solution? I'm in the same boat.
URGENT HELP NEEDED PLEASE;
Can you please help my buddy Tyler, he just got the T-Mobile Note 5, and he rooted it, and installed TWRP Recovery, and flashed a ROM for the first time, but he's afraid he may have bricked his device ?
Here's the thread I have been coaching him at. Any opinions ?

He did get the whole root thing figured out, and his phone does have SuperSU installed, he then installed TWRP Recovery through Odin, and is running the latest Modem COI5.
He downloaded a T-Mobile ROM, and Arty97 Kernel, flashed the ROM + Kernel, and he said been stuck on the boot screen for 25 minutes, and can't get back into Recovery.
Suggestions ?
Actually never mind after reading that whole thread I would reccomend download the stock rom and then flashing it . This happened to me when I flashed the wrong framework for my device. It got stuck on the same screen . I flashed in with my stock rom and it went back to normal and I didn't lose anything.
Tyler made this comment, can't seem to even power off the phone.
amn, you really are trying to help. That's awesome. Sadly however, the thing won't turn off no matter how long I hold the power button.
I saw one thread on reddit that suggested downloading a stock ROM and flashing through Odin. But, I can't find a stock ROM and I don't think you can flash ROMs through Odin.
He did manage to get this after trying to power down./
[/QUOTE]
Now what he asked ?
Tell him to put it into download mode then flash his stock rom . I Googled it and found it super easily and even found instructions
This is Tyler, the guy Zorachus has tried so hard t help. I've been googling for stoc ROMs but haven't found any to download. Can I flash a ROM through Odin?
I'm iPhone jailbreaker guy, so all this Android stuff is new t me.
I want to post the link I found but I can't because this site has a 10 post rule to post links and I haven't done 10 posts and don't worry this is my first Android phone . I've been jailbreaking since 4.1.2 so the switch was weird for me too haha but yes you can flash flash a rom through Odin
Here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/56127/N920TUVU2COI5_N920TTMB2COI5_TMB/
Make sure it is the correct model and follow the instructions.
Don't worry, you should be fine.
If he got stuck again, hold down volume up and down and power at the same time and it reboots

I had this same issue, I found out that TWRP did not actually flash the rom so the phone sat on the boot logo with no OS to load, then read up on arter97's kernel and he recommends switching to PhilZ touch recovery instead of TWRP. He provides a download to this recovery on his thread I do believe. Luckily I had downloaded the recovery and simply flashed it via TWRP (Hint: while I was stuck on the boot up logo, the only thing that worked for me is holding Vol-, home and power, then as soon as the screen goes dark, switch from holding Vol- and hold Vol+ instead, wait a bit and recovery should boot).
Once I got Philz touch installed, I rebooted the recovery and voila, no more TWRP. I simply flashed the ROM through it and rebooted again, back in business.
So to conclude, I get the feeling you're experiencing the same problem, where you went wrong is using TWRP with the arter97 kernel.
EDIT: You're in luck! Go here: http://arter97.com/browse/exynos7420/kernel/5.0/n920tw8/
Grab the tar.md5 file and flash with Odin with the phone in download mode, then reboot to new recovery and flash your rom again

Hey thanks!!!! You saved my a$$ I have been dealing with this for 6+ hours now & couldn't get past the boot logo & your suggestion worked! I <3 you! Lol
Thank **** I found your post mate, I was stuck in a never ending boot loop with no way to get into recovery either.
The trick about holding down Vol-, home and power, and then switching to vol+ at blackscreen but keeping the others down, that thing worked and I was able to make it into my recovery!
Sadly however I made the most foolish mistake of all in my hurry and went for a factory reset.
On top of that I don't think that Titanium Backup was set to auto sync on my new phone so I might possibly have lost everything I have. Let's find out.
I was trying to fix my girlfriends nexus 5 that was doing the restart loop after an update. Everything seemed to go fine. Unlocked the bootloader, etc. Flashed the newest rom (6.0.1 (MMB29S) ce1d670f61061c3902f3997510ea55d7 6bfcdfa4f4840898e5d76fa044f5e6a0f71343bf) and then something obviously went wrong (not quite sure, dont think i touched anything) and it's now stuck in a different kind of loop that only loops while it's plugged in. Ive uploaded a video to youtube, but since im a new user i cant actually link it properly yet. Hopefully this wont annoy any mods, I promise it's not spam. youtube . be / yNSoiTPnGZw
Is there any way to get it to stay on for more than a couple seconds to retry the flashing?
Any help is appreciated.

First i followed the guide here on xda to unlock the bootloader(guide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905), installed twrp, which went fine. Then i realized that i couldnt (or didnt realize how to via command line) to copy the stock rom and install it via twrp, so then i followed this guide here on xda (tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701) with the factory img (6.01 hammerhead), got to this point in the guide: ★After everything finished, select "Recovery" using the volume buttons. then it stalled out,turned off and now just cycles on and offf through the google logo with the lock picture or if i hold down the volume button it will go into the bootloader briefly then restart, rinse repeat.

Have u tried messing with the power button, there are a lot of issues on the nexus 5 with the power button causing loops, simply from getting stuck, try playing with the power button a little and see of that helps, it might just need to be replaced
Wait, did u flash the factory img with twrp, or did u flash it using fastboot?

in the end fastboot, since i coulndt see how i could copy the img over to install via twrp
im pretty sure the button is fine, since it was cycling from the ota update install, then was working fine unlocking the bootloader, but after the flash, it crapped the bed.
Different problem
I had a problem where the google logo keeps on booting up with a slight vibration.This started to happen when my was dropped.I initially thought that was a software issue and thought of installing new ROM's but eventually my device was not detected :crying:
So i took it to repair shop near my house and they said it would cost 2500
I did some google research and found the reason was due to the power button being stucked during the fall.I got that repaired and my device is good to go

ok, took it into a shop, got the power button fixed. It must have been on the way out because literally one minute it worked and the second it didnt. now i think ive got it narrowed down. it's saying it's unable to mount /persist. ive tried the various fixes:
e2fsck/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
and
make_ext4fs/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
but all i get is a not found error. not sure what to do from here on.
success!! i ended up stumbling on a bit how to restore the persist partition i didnt try. got a custom rom installs and everything works. thanks to everyone who tried to help!!
stuck in bootloop while flashing cataclysm rom
i tried to flash cataclysm rom in my n5..i unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery using TWRP and flash cataclysm rom following the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...s-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905...after that it was stuck in bootloop...i tried to open recovery but it wont open anymore it will only go back to loop....how can open the recovery? is it safe to flash CWM recovery?..tnx in advance..
When it was stuck in the loop, I had to hold vol up and down with the power button (wait a few secs until it was completely off) then reboot holding down + power till it opened the bootloader. if that doesnt work, try reflashing the bootloader via fastboot. I only found out i couldnt mount the persist partition by looking at the terminal window in twrp after trying to install a rom which kept it in the boot loop. I then used the cmd: make_ext4fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist to rebuild it.

After flashing TWRP, use the volume and power button to select recovery. Once in TWRP, wipe cache, data, reboot.

Great to hear it. Congratulations:good:
Tried to root my Note 5 using Zedomax's method for 6.0.1 and I think something went wrong. My phone ran through the Odin flashing process and passed, but on reboot I was left with red letter saying "recovery is seandroid enforcing" or something to that effect along with a boot loop. I was unable to boot into TWRP. I can still get the phone in download mode, but it seems like every firmware/recovery I try to flash leaves me in the same predicament or it freezes odin before I can flash it. My note 5 is a 920p Sprint model and on 6.0.1. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Download one of these for your phone. .
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N920P/
Make sure you uncheck auto reboot in Odin and as soon as it's done and says success disconnect the phone and immediately press and hold the volume down button and the power button at the same time and when the screen comes back up you HAVE to select factory reset wipe if you don't you'll be stuck again just let the little android dude install the update and then the phone will reboot and you'll be ok.
Unzip the md5 you get from the sammobile site and flash only the .tar
This is what he told me that got my phone up and working again. Be warned it is the nuclear option. All of your data will be lost upon recovery good luck.
I hate bringing old posts back to life....But I'm stuck in a series of boot loops that I can't get out of.
I was rooted on MM, decided to go back to stock for a Gallery error I was having.
Downloaded the PD2 from Sammobile, Odin'd it, appears successful.
Reboot
I get to the stock ROM setup screens and the boot loop occurs. I can't complete setup.
I've tried unticking the reboot in Odin and going directly into system recovery...then I do a Factory reset which appears successful.\\Reboot phone, back into the stock ROM Welcome screen....start the setup, and usually after adding WiFi or during Activation reboot.
Any help??

It's extremely common and has one simple solution. Let the battery completely die and then charge it up a little and you won't loop anymore
Thanks for the reply. Earlier today I visited my local Sprint store and gave them a crack at it. After about 30 minutes in the store, the tech suggested I leave with it them and they were going to completely wipe it and load the stock image.
After about an hour I went back to the store and he gave me the bad news that he was unable to get it out of the boot loop as well. They've ordered me a new device.
I really trust what you say about letting the phone battery die...but I fear that would fix it and I'd be out a new replacement device.

Dude!! It worked. I put the phone in download mode and just let it sit until it died.
Booted it back up and it went straight into hands free activation. And no reboots.
Why does this work?
