[Q] Boot Loop - General Questions and Answers

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 with T-Mobile (SGH-M919) on which i had previously flashed CyanogenMod 10.2
-I recently decided to get Android 4.4 on my device so I attempted to flash the AOSP {4.4.2} S4 Google Edition Final-R4

U can try flashing stock rom of ur fon through ODIN through PC....
Please, Don't forget to hit THANKS if i helped you!

well first of all, before you do what mohit378 said which is right, you need to see if it will go into download mode, im not sure the button combo for the s4 so you will have to look that up, then like what mohit378 said your going to need to find a stock your FOR YOUR PHONE MODEL ONLY on sammobile and flash that in odin.

[Q] Galaxy mini S5570-Can't boot to recovery after flashing ClockWorkMod recovery

Hi,
I've recently flashed ClockWorkMod Recovery using Odin to my Samsung Galaxy mini S5570 device,
the opertion was succesfull (Odin said PASS), but now when I try to boot into Recovery (pressing Middle button and power button) the device just get stuck in the Samsung screen (the first screen you see when you regulary power on your device).
Will be glad for some help!
*Any Ideas how to fix this problem? or why does it occur?
1) Will HardReset/FactoryReset the phone will uninstall ClockWorkMod Recovery?
2) Do I need to ROOT my device prior to the flashing of ClockWorkMod Recovery with ODIN?
3) Can I remove/uninstall the ClockWorkMod Recovery?
Thanks advanced for your help!
Same issue
Hello,
I've got exactly the same issue and do not find any answer
Thank you for your help!

Same here..
Same problem here, It just shows the samsung logo and that's all, I can't finish installing firmware
Stuck with first screen
I am also stuck with the opening screen. Prior being bricked the phone went through the washing machine. Board was cleaned. It still has carrier SIM lock on it. I am digging the forum for imput, but no luck so far.
With USB clable plugged in it shows only a small phone and computer icon with yellow triangle+exclamation mark on the dotted line between them. Cannot load the hard reset menu. The Download menu with big triangle comes up, that showed at least the display is working.
Odin 4.38 was able to flash the Clockworkmod, but no Gingerbread or some other update. The time runs happily but MIBIB will not load, and i must turn everything off.
I have the same issue. Wondering if there is a fix for this. Can boot into download mode but not Clockworkmod Recovery. Stuck at Samsung screen.
Okay well I found a fix!
I was trying to update CWM Recovery via Odin when I still had Froyo installed on the device. Classic rookie error. You need gingerbread to use the latest CWM. All I had to do was install an official samsung gingerbread ROM via Odin and then I was able to re-install CWM sucessfully. Now running CM9 on my Galaxy Mini and everything is great, very snappy (few bugs though)

Phone wont start up

Go to the development forum, you will find everything you need including ODIN and the stock images there. You most likely need to ODIN back to stock and start over.

(sOLVED) my note is stuck on Samsung boot screen!!

i upgraded my note N8000 via odin mobile pro with success and everything was smooth and the root was not intact
I tried to flash a theme via mobile odin but was not success, but note was still ok
then 2 days later I tried to enter the recovery mode , i found the note stuck on samsung boot screen and dose not reboot, I can enter download mode but can not enter recovery mode to reflash even the stock rom
what to do?
should i reflash the CWM as 1st time? then reflash the root if i found it is gone?
or i have to reflash the stock rom first via odin desk top since i can not reboot the note? problem is the stock rom is on the note and do not have it on PC
the note now is on Samsung boot screen, how to turn it off since note can not remove the battery?
EDIT 1::good:
Flashed a stock recovery via odin desk top, and rebooted
Note is back alive , no wipes, every thing still there, root still here
Rebooted once again with success
rebooted into recovery (stock since I lost my CWM) with success
EDIT 2
Flashed CWM and my note is back for my modifications
:fingers-crossed:

It says you flashed a stock recovery. Is it the same case for a stock ROM?

sorry, my mistake, flashing the stock rom will not delete your stuff, just be sure to flash the same rom or higher, not lower one
So, I tried flashing the stock recovery and that did not work. And then I tried flashing the stock rom (multiple times with different roms) and that did not work either. My tablet is still stuck on the screen that says "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1". Do you have any other suggestions?
can u write some details about what was before and reason for problem, to think together about a solution

My Note 10.1 N8013 was rooted, had TWRP, and Cyanogenmod 10.2 Nightly on it. I hadn't touched it in two days and went to turn it on. It wouldn't turn on, so I assumed it was dead. I charge it overnight and try to turn it on in the morning, but it just goes into a boot loop. The tablet says "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" and stays that way until it dies. If I boot into recovery mode, the Teamwin (TWRP) title screen pops up and then immediately disappears. The tablet then shows the battery loading icon if it is plugged in. The icon shows up, then disappears and the shows up again and repeats this a few times. I could only boot into download mode successfully.
I have tried flashing different stock roms and recoveries through odin, including the one that you have linked on here. None of them have worked. I have also tried repartitioning the tablet, which passed on Odin, but did not solve the problem.
Other forums say that I should do a factory reset or wipe the data, but I do not know how to do this without being able to boot into recovery or the OS itself.
Thanks
P.S. I also brought it to Best Buy to see if the Samsung guy could reflash the stock rom, but his rom did not work either. They are all passing on Odin, so it isn't an error in that case.
I read that a lot of people got problems with Cyano roms. I did not like it and never used it, sorry can not help you

Could it be because of the Cyanogen rom? I didn't update recently... I probably updated it a week before it died. Would you happen to know how to do a factory reset / wipe the data from the tablet, if I can't get into recovery mode or the OS?
I don't think that there is any other way, sorry about that.
try to put your problem in the Cyano rom thread, may others had the same and solved it
Ok thank you
Let me know if you get it fixed
Hi kyleschepis,
Let me know if you find a solution. I have a very similar issue . . . the difference is, I am not using a custom ROM. I have the stock ROM that came with the GT-N8013.
My issue started about 5 days ago. My Galaxy Note had been having occasional issues with the external SD card. A warning would appear saying that the SD card had been removed, and a couple of seconds later it would re-mount and every thing was fine.
But 5 days ago, I picked up my note and turned the screen on (it was already started) and noticed the warning message while the screen was still locked. Then, as the second message was still being displayed letting me know that the SD card had been mounted, I swipe the screen to unlock. But instead of unlocking, my Note completely rebooted. It got as far as the logo screen (displaying "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1"), but would go no further.
I am able to get into the Odin download mode but cannot get into recovery mode no matter what I do/
I have tried re-flashing the stock ROM ("KIES_HOME_N8013UEUCMI3_N8013XARCMI3_813049_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5") several times, as well as trying to install customer recovery modes like CWM and TWRP, as well as the stock recovery. But the power + volume up combination does not get me into recovery mode. Even if, as many have suggested, I continue holding the button combination until the logo screen displays a second or a third time.
I have been without my Note for 5 days now, and I use it for everything. So, any help I can get would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

I have the same problem. I was just playing a game when it suddenly turned off and went to the boot screen. Also tried installing N8000XXUDNE5_N8000OLBDNE3_N8000DXUDND1_HOME.tar.md5 (success but also didn't work). Still stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" screen.
Also can't access recovery, or do a wipe before installing firmware (I think USB debugging isn't turned on).
Did you find any solutions yet?
Thanks.

[Q] [HELP] GTi8262 > Phone doesn't start!

Hi XDA members, I came here because I'm tired and I cant'd do anything more, I need help
Ok so first I had a Samsung Galaxy Core Duos GTI8262, original, no modified, android 4.1.2, everything all right.
Then I starded to try to install a costum ROM with 4.4. I rooted it, and then I found a CMW Recovery and I had installed it via Odin307, but it didn't work because it was not compatible with my phone, it was crashing all the time and the phone used to make noises, like an engine working or something, and then it shuts down. Then after much search I found here in XDA a costum Recovery Based in CMW for my phone, "CMW based Recovery v6.0.4.7".
I installed it via Odin307 under the previous CMW that dint work properly, and finally everething went all right, I installed a ROM with KitCat, then another with Lillicop, etc... then I wanted to try Cynogen, it was in my model devolopment and I installed it, bigger mistake, it didn't recognize SIM card such as Wifi, Bluethoth, etc... no conections. I get tired because with all my Download mode started to get stuck, so, I could not install another ROM, so, angry, I went to based CMW Recovery and I formatted EVERYTHING, until get to the point where there wasn't ANY file in SDCARD0, I tried to make factory Reset, didn't work, so I turn the phone On and the logo "Galaxy Core Duos GTI8262" stays there forever... the phone doesn't start.
THEEN... i downloaded the stock ROM here in XDA to my model (I'm Portuguese (Portugal)), and tried to install it via Odin207. I was waiting that the Download Mode got stucked again but I tried it in the same way, because I didn't knew what to do more. BUT, instead of get stuck, the Download Mode only stays for aprox. 5 seconds, then the phone shuts down... SO > nothing in SDCARD0 (and the CWM Based doesn't have the option to install anything in extSDCard I dont know why...) and Download Mode crashes... without pay nothing, WHAT CAN I DO PEOPLE?
Please help, sorry my English...

Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900P Bootloop

Hey guys, so I'm up for a new phone (had this phone for 2 years) and I remember having a friend root + flash me the cyanogenmod on my Samsung Galaxy S3
I decided to root/flash my current phone (Galaxy S5) and i ended up ****ing in on several fronts.
The following is what I did and where I ended up
Rooted phone through Odin - was successful but I got a feeling it was outdated as I got the Seandroid kernal thing in red
Got ROM Manager and flashed recovery to TWRP - successful
Flashed ROM to Cyanogenmod nightly 7/14/16 - used the wrong version so i couldn't use my phone to call
Flashed Rom to the correct version - successful
Installed Gapps zip so i can use the app store and etc - experienced issues as it was always saying the store failed and etc
Now where I am currently
I ended up wiping all the data and etc so I can flash back to the Stock ROM/firmware since I couldn't get the Gapps to work.
I tried to flash the firmware but everytime I flash it and it boots to the stock recovery and says "installing android update" it gets to 1/3rd where it says "Erasing" and boots up to the Sprint Logo where the Blue notif is on and it is stuck.
I'm assuming its soft bricked and on a bootloop and I am trying to see if I can salvage this phone.
I tried flashing different version of the firmware (my brother has the same phone his version is G900PVPS3CPE2) and i tried that and G900PVPU3CPA. Both times its says its successful on odin but upon booting it only gets 30% before it says erasing and returns to get stuck on the boot.
Can I salvage this phone and if so can someone guide me through the proccess (links to proper firmware download/etc)
I do not care if any data/apps is lost (i have important stuff backed up on my gmail), I just want my phone to work.
That being said, my phone is salvageable instead of guiding me to repairing my phone to stock, if they can guide me to set my phone to a custom ROM (cyanogenmod or anything they suggest assuming they can get the googleapps to work on it) can someone please guide me through that.
Thanks again for reading.
Edit: All info in a TLR format incase my wall of text was messy
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900P (SPR) Android 6.0.1
problem: ****ed up with flashing now phone is stuck in bootloop
What I want: Find a solution to make my phone work, ideally to make it work using a custom rom(any works) that has a working google apps installed.
