When I flash merely anything, my tablet gets stuck on the Samsung boot logo (I have waited, and waited, and waited, until the battery dies). Sometimes even installing ClockWorkMod Recovery (official) will do this. But I managed to get the latest official CWM flashed. But I can't get ANY other rom to work. Even roms I have successfully flashed before.
Note: If it flashes it gets stuck at the Samsung boot logo. But I have also had it not flash sometimes too, giving me error code 7 in CWM which is an authentication/permission/certificate problem.
I am going to try right now using Odin to flash to stock, and work from there, maybe it will completely clean out any crap in the memory.
My tablet is the P3113 model.
Ok! So after flashing stock rom, then cleaning all the cache stuff, then attempting to install CM it fails with CWM Error code 7. And when I just reboot system, it gets stuck at the boot logo. Damn, I get stuck there without even flashing!!
Well, I may have figured it out..... ummm i guess *cough! cough!* I somehow changed kernels *cough! cough!* dang, my allergies! Hahaha, anyways, I flashed a kernel compatible with stock rom and cm10.1 and it has gotten past the flash of cm10.1 and seems to be booting up right now.

Hey guys, I've searched around and tried various things and I feel like I am just regressing this thing worse and worse.
Here's what I can recall about my situation:
SL101, rooted using nachoroot and put an ICS rom on it. not sure which. worked great.
decided I would switch ROMs one day and ran into the glitch where if you install too large of a file onto the sd card it reboots in the middle and you have a corrupt ROM.
ended up wiping a lot of stuff and I was stuck with no ROM, CWM recovery, and boot loop.
trying to get back to stock and sell the thing since I left it bricked for awhile and didn't use it much before anyway. so I tried ASUS's website for their stock file and it runs in recovery and I'm back to stock recovery but still a boot loop.
Not sure where to go from here, any ideas?
TLR- stock recovery, boot loop
Did you try APX mode?

Okay, so I'm not stuck in some sort of infinite loop here with my Infuse, it will show the Samsung logo, then the Samsung logo with the Cyanogen Mod logo, then CWM Boot Recovery. the thing is, that is all I can do. I have tried rebooting several times, tried to install various ROMs and flavors I have, all installations seem to fail, I have tried wiping and clearing and all that jazz, but I cannot seem to get it to install to anything. Recovery doesn't seem to be working either.
Does anyone know what I should do? I have Odin, but since I still have access to CWM on the device, I thought it might be better to get some more opinions before I totally wipe my everything with a fresh rom.
Maybe help

I run into something the last few times. There may be a problem with you losing root. I tried to install the last CM11, and it kept ending in the error 7 thing. Try this. Do the reset thing in cwm, then partition and then dalvic. Take the battery out, and restart it into cwm (hold both volume keys and press power. Then start all over and do the reset, partition, and dalvik thing again, and then try to install rom. Hope it helps.

Can you see Cid on the booting screen or CyanogenMod 4.x.x flashing on the booting screen only without Samsung logo? And can you boot to recovery? Are u on kitkat? I think it's a Gapps problem! Use Paranoid Gapps mini modular!
If so I had a similar problem some time ago. Was about to smack the phone on the wall as it remained on the booting load screen! But I removed battery every time it blocked (about 7 times) and reboot! Took battery out again and left the phone off about 4 hours. Remember to charge if you think necessary. Switched on and after 5 minutes loading (yeah it's long), it finally booted successfully!
If doesn't work, do a dirty flash, i.e, go to recovery, flash same or a newer ROM. back, back, Reboot device. If stuck or error 7 appears on recovery screen, reboot to recovery again and flash ROM again, followed by gapps(I seriously recommend using MINI MODULAR PA paranoid GAPPS), and reboot device. If boot is successful, consider doing a Wipe Dalvik Cache. This should not delete any files!
If nothing works, I guess Odin back to Stock
Wiped everything and have no back ups anymore. Cant figure out how to install a rom. TWRP and Download mode still work but No matter what I flash I get stuck at samsung loading screen. Halp?!
Trying to get Tekxodus installed on my N920T which currently has nothing on it.
Still can not figure out what Im doing wrong. I wiped internal storage which I know I shouldnt have but when I flash Tekxodus I get caught in a bootloop until the phone powers off to charge. Even flashing skyhigh kernal after the rom does nothing. Still boot looping.
Use download mode to Odin back to stock. Then re-send twrp. Let it boot first. Then go back to twrp and flash your rom
I was able to restore a stock rom, install twrp successfully but this rom (teksodus) does not boot no matter how I flash it. Stuck at samsung screen again but this time on a custom samsung load screen. If I flash a new kernal I get stuck at the black samsung screen. Haha its been too long since Ive done this.
Got it all sorted, thanks!
Hey Guys,
so i got a wierd bootloop problem and for now i didn't find any solution here on xda or somewhere else,
not even a thread where someone has the same problem.
I'll try to give you as much information as possible in a chronological order.
First of all I got the international model (G920F).
So like 2-3 months ago everything was fine, my phone was rooted, got TWRP working and was flashing Roms with no problem what so ever. TW-Roms like Noble Rom and also AOSP/Lineage OS.
One day I wanted to flash UltImAtE NoUgAt A8 Port and that is where the trouble began, dont think it has something to do with the rom but maybe it helps.
So i flashed the Rom(wiped everything except int. storage), flashing was no problem but it didnt boot.
I know first boot always takes some time but after about 20-30 min I forced a reboot (Power+Vol. Down for 7sec).
After that the phone got into a Bootloop(always rebooted into the "first bootingscreen")
I let this process happen for about 15 min. and then tried to enter TWRP via hitting the buttons between the boots which didn't work. I then did "force" a reboot(Power + Vol. Down) which strangely resulted in one final reboot and turning the phone off after the first bootscreen.
So with the phone finally turned off I was able to boot into TWRP and reflashed the rom but the result was the same.
I did the same procedure again to get into TWRP and flashed the Stock Deodexed TW Rom, flashing worked but then the Phone directly rebooted into TWRP. Rebooting out of TWRP or booting the phone from beeing shut down both resulting into booting to TWRP.
So to get my Phone working again I had to flash stock ROM which in my case is G920FXXU5EQDF_G920FDBT5EQD1_G920FXXU5EQCD via Odin.
That worked but of course root and TWRP were gone so I then flashed TWRP via Odin(both newest Versions at that point)
aaaaaand phone straightly booted into TWRP again all the time. I tried different combinations of older versions of both twrp and odin but the result always was the same.
So at the moment I am on Stock, the phone works which is nice but i really wanna get TWRP working again and i have no idea what to do.
I hope someone can help me with that.
Cheers Guys

You do know that if you flash TWRP, you need to use a kernel that has dm-verity disabled or you need to be rooted. Flash TWRP then Flash Magisk through TWRP

As it seems I did not, good thing that its written right at the TWRP download page...
Can't remember doing this when I installed TWRP first but as it seems I did.
Everything is working fine, just flashed Nexus OS and it booted.
Thank you so much dude
Hello people,
I just tried flashing TWRP to my J7 Prime phone. Odin flash was successful and I could boot into recovery. I followed through normal procedure(data format and no-verity-opt-encrypt flashed). I did not flash any other zips and when i tried to boot back into System my phone didn't get through the Galaxy Prime logo. It wouldn't even show the boot animation. Before this happened, I did root my phone and everything was fine, I accidentally deleted google play once and also wanted to flash stock firmware so I did. After I flashed the stock firmware, when I wanted to root it again it would work after flashing magisk and booting into the system but after some time passes the apps one by one would begin to freeze and at last no app would even load. When i try to reboot at this point, the phone wouldn't boot back into the system anymore. It would get past the Samsung logo but the boot animation wouldn't even play as i was stuck in a black screen. I tried to restore with TWRP then, (Only restoring Boot, System and Data but I didn't wipe anything on the system before restoring. I think that this might be the issue but I just recently got into rooting.) but when i rebooted to use my phone it wouldn't get past the Samsung logo. The Samsung J7 Prime logo would show up, then 1-2 seconds pass and then reboot. This was a loop.
I was able to reflash stock firmware and get it to work normally. Since I can't risk bricking the phone as I can't get a new one after this experience I didn't flash anything again. Because after i restored with TWRP back then and now my phone bricking just because of a TWRP flash I think if I just give it some more tries (even with difference in procedure) it might just get hard bricked. I think flashing firmware so often might brick it. I really don't know but I can't risk bricking this phone.
The phone right now is OK. I just want to learn why this might happen, what would cause this and how to fix this. I will not flash anything because again I can't risk getting this phone bricked.
Just getting some information for me is enough as I am also curious about this problem,
Thank you.
