Stuck in Update boot loop Please Help!!!

I was rooted with CWM recovery. I odin flashed stock with root injected and then flashed via odin stock kernel and recovery. At this time I was able to pull the update and the device restarted to install. Upon 100% completion the device rebooted as I woudl expect but upon reboot it goes right back into the install, hits 100% and does the same thing. It appears Im stuck in a update boot loop. Has anyone else experienced this?
I did a odin restore with Stock 8013.tar with root injected but upon reboot once odin completes it goes right back into this update loop. Someone please help!!!!

Just flashed stock kernel and recovery via odin and same thing happens. Just after samsung logo on splash screen it goes into the android character with a percentage for an update being applied. It hits 100% and sits there for a couple minutes, reboots and does the same thing all over.
I"m desperate and need this to get fixed!!

I flashed the stock n8000 recovery file via odin and it booted me out of the update loop. I had to do it twice tho. I rooted via odin so our fixes may be different.
I used file posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30450339#post30450339 post 45
Hope this helps a little

Ok I'm backup and running. I had to flash "HighonAndroidCWMRecovery" via odin to get past the update loop. Any ideas why this woudl be? I'm running stock with root and custom recovery. If I flash stock recvoery again and attempt the update do you think the same thing will occur?

Stuck, can't restore factory settings
I tried to unroot my Galaxy note 10.1 wi-fi and have caused such damage that it won't boot up. I have tried to press the power and down volume and I either get the Black welcome screen stuck, requesting I download the md5 file (which I have tried and doesn't work) or asks to use Kies to boot, but my laptops won't even pick up the device, they recognizes that there is a new device connected but it can't read it!
In the top left hand corner it reads
ODIN MODE (in red letters)
Product name: GT-N8010
Customer binary: yes (20 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
System status: Custom
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Thanks in advance

I have same Problem

My only response would be to go to sammobile and download as close to shipped rom as you can (must be for your region and carrier, if from carrier), updated rom is fine. Make sure the download ISN'T corrupted by doing an MD5 check.. Also before f;lashing, make sure you exit KIES as this can screw up the connection in ODIN.
Put in Download mode, hold down volume and power until it says a scary warning, ignore the warning and press up volume.
Flash with ODIN making sure re-partition ISN'T ticked, when it finishes flashing turn off power.
Go to recovery by holding up volume and power button until it goes into recovery.
Wipe data/cache and then wipe dalvik cache.
Reboot and see what happens.
Good luck.

Not working, not go the Recovery Mode, Only Samsung Logo.

I'm having similar issue as Odin keeps failing when trying to flash ROM.
Does anyone know the commands to do it through ADB? I've done it before on my nexus7 but don't know the commands to exactly use for the note. I still can't get into recovery. Only can get into that ODIN mode. I have all drivers and Android ADB installed on PC.
It seems like nothing will write to the NAND. Although my flash count changes now showing my attempts. I might have no choice but to call Samsung and file a warranty claim. I just don't want to lose all the pictures and info that's in my tablet.

Well I got my tablet back yesterday from Samsung. They fixed it. The report showed they replaced some piece that burned out. I forgot the name of it. Unfortunately all my info and stuff was erased. So I had to reinstall everything manually. At least my tablet working like new again. So glad to have it back. Been like a month or so since I've been able to use it. My nexus 7 and galaxy s3 was holding me down in the meanwhile.
This note is a great device. IM seeing again why I've missed it so much. Works flawlessly on stock Tom.

[Q] Will not go to DOWNLOAD MODE

I was given a table from my friend and when I tried to power it on it went the the default recovery mode. But when I try to reboot it to go into Dowload mode to set it back to Default Firmware it gets stuck on the Samsung GALAXY Tab 2 10.1 loading screen. Anyone know how to fix this?

loaded recovery mode
So I was finally able to load into recovery mode after a few times of trying. But I got a bunch or errors.

Seems like something´s wrong with the partition or fstab... maybe something happend to the Bootloader?
Have you flashed anything? If yes please write all steps you did and post the links from files you used.
Boot the recovery,
If it´s booted pres Power+Volume Up until it entered Download mode!
- No DownloadMode - No easy chance
Flash a Stockrom using Odin.

Well, I'm not sure how your table is able to go to download mode, let alone power on.
jkjkjkjk lol It looks like all of your partitions are corrupted. Maybe you have to flash a pit file with Odin?

[Q] GT-P5100 softbircked or hardbricked

I had CM10.1-3 stable installed, and everything was perfect, then I turned on the native encryption, the tablet started to acted slow but working, one day I woke up and find the tablet will not turn on so here is what I have done
Restarted the tablet, entered the decryption password and still hanged
Restarted the tablet again and then it boot loops on Samsung galax tab 2 10.1 screen
Restarted again and it will not boot at all
No recovery
I can access download mode
So I did try to reflash CWM 6.0.2 again with heimdall and it failed
All I got was "Firmware error occurred while updating please use kies the phone ! computer screen"
No other mode is working
Got Stock rom 4.2.2 tired with odin finishes but still reboot is black screen
Got esspreso_16G PIT file repartitioned and reinstalled the stock rom still no booting
Using heimdall repartitioned with resspreso PIT file from 201202 and I got DOWNLOAD MODE AGAIN !
Try to install orignal rom or CWM brick again
Using heimdall repartitioned and installed stock kernel only and x-loder
So currently it is charging and have DOWNLOAD MODE stating count of customes and kernel of SMASUNG_OFFICAL
My question is, is this software brick or hardware ? and how I can get the tablet up and running again using ODIN or Heimdall ?
Thank You

I am not sure, but what i would try:
Try Odin, flash Stockrom - uncheck "Auto-Reboot" !
When Odin finished directly boot into recovery from downloadmode.
Make a factory reset if recovery booted.
Reboot device.

Did try that, Odin 3.07 or something keeps flushing everything but the download mode on the tablet froze on 25% of the blue bar. then I get again error will firmware update, so I add again to heimdall and repartitioned and tried to flash the rom part by part starting with MLO as X-Loader and it told me successful with no reboot, tried to flash factorysysfs also stuck at 28% with heimdall, had to do reboot of the device, now the device is just blank black, no download mode, or the emergency firmware update via kies screen "phone ! computer" no idea what should I do :s it seems dead.

Why are you flashing pit-files all the time????? these files can difenitly dangerous and can kill your tab with a breeze if not used with care ....
you can´t do nothing with odin or heimdall if you don´t have downloadmode or "Black screen of death" ("Firmware error occurred while updating (...)")...
good luck

It was the only way to get back to DownloadMode is by flashing PIT file, however I managed to flash orginal Kenerl back at that time and I did manage to flash X-Loder seems that what bricked the tablet, Now when I am connected to the PC I can see OMAP4430 driver, Some saying I need to use JTAG "RIFF BOX" or maybe OMAPFlasher but I am not sure if this the correct step or not, what really bothers me that when I had DownloadMode odin will not finish more than 28% of the rom. what do you think should I use OMAPFlasher ? and if there any guide to do so ? I just need the tablet to have bootloader and Kernel so I can flash back with Odin.

Follow the instructions from this post. Since you are soft bricked at the moment, you'll need to start at step 4. If you have an extSD in your phone, you might want to pull it until after you're up and running because the "Android" folder from Kitkat needs to be deleted and rebuilt for Lollipop.

That's what I tryed first but it didn't work,
First step.... flash SM-G900P_OA6_FullRestore.
(on boot i have samsung galaxy s5 screen with blue letters at the top saying recovery booting and it loops.)
sense that didn't work i tryed... SM-G900P_NI3-Full_Restore_Unrooted (Compressed Archive)
(on boot i have samsung galaxy s5 screen with blue letters at the top saying recovery booting and it loops.)
then i tryed SM-G900P_OA6_FullRestore. again but still no luck im out of ideas
I cant get to any recovery.
please help.

Are you using the wrong terminology? You have to use Odin and a PC to install the .tar. Also, the first boot into Lollipop can take about 20 minutes. You have to be patient. I see you posting in different threads and you seem to be digging deeper into a hole.
Are you using Odin and starting by downloading (to PC) the file in step #4? Then follow the remaining steps "exactly". Re-read those instructions and if you not already downloaded the needed files, do that first.

Try this: Do a battery pull, then put the phone in Download mode, hook up to PC and then open Odin and then Odin custom recovery, either twrp or Philz. Uncheck auto reboot in odin and once it passes, pull the battery, unplug and boot into recovery. Also, you might update Odin, there's a link to Odin 3.10.0 in my post. Let's see if we can get that far and go from there.

Which recovery tar did you Odin? You pulled the battery after Odin said PASS, then unplugged the phone, put battery back in and immediately tried to get into recovery? If so, I'm stumped.

I saw your post count, I knew you knew what you're doing, just wanted to double check everything. Sorry, I'm out of ideas. I did ask @tdunham to take a look at this thread, if he has some other ideas, but he's offline right now. Hopefully he'll check in later.

What about flashing back to an older version of android? Full tar flash.
---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------
Like ne5, and nothing else, just see if you can get stock to boot, no messing around trying to flash recovery.

This is RWillco12's NE5 stock.. Have the phone in download mode and run the .exe
Thanks TD.

I tryied ni3 already
but as far as i know you cant downgrade the bootloader.
if i could flash just the bootloader for ota6 maybe that would help.
i will try downloading ne5 now but my last rom was running a nkd modem.
im going to try and flash G900P_NKD_FullRestore.tar in odin if that dont work ill try ne5
and will report back shortly.
well nkd full restore boots up to
unknowen error!
wait..
done!
udc start.
power reset or
unknown
upload mode.
this is the way i got it back from retech after they replaced my bezel and digitlizer and screen
i never had an issue with anything software wize before that.

Have you tried flashing the phone without any sim cards inserted including the sprint card? You are flashing from a powered off state right? You know it wont work unless phone is powered off before going into download mode.
As a last resort attached is the pit file for the 16gb G900P. Unzip and put it into the pit section of odin and flash the stock firmware again. It will repartition the entire phone when it flashes the stock image.

is there any bootloaders only i can flash?
well tryed everything all it does is vibrate 2 times. same as be4 im dead in the water. i don't know what's wrong or what to do.
I have tryed everything i can think of.
I can boot to download mode and flash anything i want but nothing works.
no recovery. no rom.

May have bricked my phone, need help

I rooted my phone a while ago in like April and for some reason it became unrooted a couple days ago for no apparent reason.
I tried Autoroot without success so then I tried TWRP without success because when I tried to boot into recovery I got a big red screen.
"****" I said but was able to boot up and decided to do a factory restore and then restore the firmware to stock with odin
This proved to be a huge mistake because after factory resetting the phone, it won't boot or go into download mode. It just shows this:
"Recovery not standard enforcing" then

Anything I can do or should I just sell it for parts at this point?:

No, it is hard to brick... but you have to follow the instruction carefully... your error is the consequence of ignoring...
Take a breath and start from the beginning... first install via odin a clean original image

How do I install an image with odin if the phone won't go into download mode?

Hello,
1. first, try the normal procedure by pressing POWER+VOL DOWN. This will force your device to hard reboot. When the screen comes black press immediately POWER+VOL DOWN+HOME to get on Download Mode
2. Install Odin on your windows and download the official ROM from the SamMobile's site
3. Not that much ahead the last step. Just open the correct files inside the ROM folder with odin and flash it
| IMPORTANT |
If you really can get to Download Mode DON'T forget to flash the BT file (bootloader) inside the ROM's folder. In other words, flash every file inside that folder and your device will boot
There is no chance of getting bootloop with official firmwares. So just be patient in the very first boot
