HELP!!!
About 1 month ago, my Galaxy S3 running 4.4.2 (Completely stock: no root, rom, or custom firmware), suddenly got into a boot loop about 3 weeks after receiving the 4.4.2 update. At first, it would boot up completely into the OS, then shut down before I even had time to enter PIN. Sometimes, after shutting down, it would restart by itself, but only on some occasions. I was able to enter and constantly use recovery and download mode with no shutdowns, so it wasn't a battery problem, instead a software/firmware one. I found that if the phone was plugged in while booting, I was able to use the phone with no problem, but it shut off as soon as the charger was removed. I then factory reset it, wiped the cache and such, but the problem still persisted. After about not touching it for a week, the phone wouldn't even make it past the first Samsung boot animation and jingle without turning off. However, the plugging in method would make it go further into the boot sequence, but it still wouldn't boot into the OS. After leaving it alone for one more week, I then LOST RECOVERY ACCESS! It would boot up to the android figure, but shut off immediately. I was able to access download mode, and therefore, tried to flash an earlier firmware with ODIN.
The phone was recognized by ODIN, but the flashing process failed. I first tried to root the stock ROM, but ODIN couldn't find the recovery. I then tried to downgrade my firmware to 4.1.2. I got a FAIL message on my PC and an error message on the phone (in ODIN mode) saying, " SW REV CHECK FAIL: FUSED 2 BINARY 0" Now every time I try to turn on the phone, it goes straight into ODIN mode, and it shows the message, : Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please use Software Repair Assistant & try again" with an image of a phone and PC linked together, but being interrupted by a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it.
HELP ME PLEASE. I LOVE THIS PHONE AND I STILL HAVE A WHILE UNTIL I CAN GET A NEW ONE!!!!
Is your phone still under warranty with your wireless carrier? If it is, you may want to contact the customer support department. You may be able to get a new phone as a warranty replacement.

I would love to help, but please help me first. how do you claim to have 4.4 kitkat when for the i535 there is confirmed to only be 4.3 for a stock OS? this will make a big difference in the outcome of who can help you. Google and android both confirm that 4.3 is the last update for this phone coming from verizon. How can you have 4.4 stock with touchwiz and everything? unless you have AOSP, which is another things entirely. this phone does poorly for 4.4 in AOSP because we don't have a proper kernel or baseband for it. it wasn't officially released.
anyway, that is my question to you.

4.4.2 is the latest and probably the last update for the i535. This should fix your problem OP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2791801
I wish it was.

No, Cindy, it isn't under warranty anymore. It has been more than one year. I wish it was though!

Thank you so much for your help. I flashed the file, and I got recovery back. However, the phone has just returned to the state that this problem begun with. It still goes further into the boot sequence (still won't start) when plugged in, but it will shut off before it finishes and as soon as it's unplugged. It won't even start the sequence without the charger.
Any other suggestions?
Is that so? I had no idea. I was told by Verizon the 4.3 is the last one. I certainly will investigate. On ODIN, make SURE you check the bootloader update option, F. Reset Time, and auto reboot. Otherwise, the bootloader will not allow you to boot.

Try flashing the .tar file from the second post. Also make sure you have odin setup correctly like cyberkeeper1 said.

However, the phone will still shut down once booted, despite it being connected to power.

Hi guys this is my first post on here but i have gotten help from this site for years,
Basically i got my Galaxy s6 the other week and was going about rooting it, Ive done this with my previous 3 Phones (S4 mini, S2, Xperia Play)
All using the same method
My S6 is the model number SM-G920F
I used Odin3 V3.10 and C F Auto Root........tar.md5
Everything Passed all green and everything
Im on Android Version Lollypop 5.1.1 Followed instructions from a website called ibtimes.
And like i said it passed, But the phone is stuck on the Samsung screen with the words "Recovery is not seandriod enforcing" in red at the top.
And when i turn the phone off, it just boots back to that screen, I think i need some help!
If you need any more information then ask i will provide any info needed.
Thank you in advance and im sorry for maybe ****ing up a good phone

Thanks mate, ill have it download through the night and ill try and fix my phone after work tommorow,. will putting this on the phone delete everything on it? or will my files like photos ect be saved? everything else i can get back, but my photos and stuff i cant
Here you go UK 5.1.1 BTU ROM for your use:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/50033/G920FXXU2BOFJ_G920FBTU2BOFJ_BTU/
This might help. I had a similar issue and it fixed it. It's just stock ROM. Flash it through Odin and then your custom ROM:

Better to use SamFirm to download it as you get full speed downloads from Samsung rather than the rubbish speeds of Sammobile

I have the same problem.
How did you get into the download mode, in order to flash the stock rom .
Everytime I reset, I get into the "Recovery Is Not Seandroid Enforcing" screen.
Help please!!!

When you turn the phone off, Hold The Vol down power and lock buttons as soon as the phone turns off, (Also i could only turn it off doing these three buttons stuck on the samasung screen too) then once you done that it will bring up download mode.

Thaks Bretlei, that made it possible. I followed the instructions and managed to fix my phone.
Hey experts so i have the S6 gm-920F i updated OTA and now the phone doesnt recognize the fingerprint and forgot the password so i install TWRP 3 via odin booted the recovery and transferred my data successfully then I made a factory reset to delete the passcode to be able to use the phone after making the reset and pressing reboot system it gets stuck in the recovery the system doesn't reboot so i tried hard rebooting the phone is stuck on black screen that says samsung galaxy s6 and restarts restarts restarts (bootloop) i tried reflash the 6.0.1 bootloader no luck then flash 5.1 bootloader flashed philz recovery then 6.0.1 bootloader still nothing! Did i damage something serious ? does a fresh firmware install through odin bring my phone back to life ? Thanks in advance
Please try a fresh install of Firmware. Install MM bootloader and modem first with TWRP MM compatible recovery and download an extra lite MM rom to see if your phone will come back to life, (using extra lite package is less of a download than a stock 2gb download)
TWRP is what gave me the problem once i enter i can exit from there ! i got the stock firmware tried to flash using odin then get fail! please can you give a noob some simple instructions with links ?
Hi mate, Try flashing through ODIN a TAR image for your phone version. You can find a TAR on a website such as sammobile. Once you have download the tar put your phone into download mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power keys at the same time. Start ODIN and connect the phone to your computer, click AP and browse and find the TAR file you downloaded. Then click start and it should flash back stock firmware for your phone.

I can't promise that you haven't, however it is extremely hard to hard brick a phone these days. There are many ways to try and restore it to previous condition not all of which I am familiar with, if this doesn't solve your problem keep scouring XDA for an answer, undoutably a more skilled dev will be able to help you

Good job dude! Hit thanks if that solved it fully for u!
I have a sprint Galaxy edge 6 SMG925P. I'VE rooted with TWRP and wanted to factory reset and in the process, got it stuck in a bootloop. I can hit volume down, home, power and can get in download mode, Barcode or reset. I have tried odin but I believe I'm using the wrong USB, firmware, or odin version because it fails everytime. Smart switch says my serial number is wrong but it's not. I'm at a loss and need help. I'm so grateful for you all in advance.

I was trying to root my phone, and it passed, then wouldn't go past the boot logo. So I tried to flash my phone to a stock rom, but I accidentally used a rom for a different build. My phone's build is G920AUCS4CPG1. I can't find a stock rom for my phone, and I can't get it to go past the boot logo, even after getting into recovery and trying to delete the cache and factory reset the phone. Please help asap. Btw carrier is AT&T
EDIT: Had it plugged into a charger, guess it's not charging now? It's hooked up and it shows the battery icon but it's empty and not recharging. Buttttt, if I unplug it from the charger and hold the power button and volume down, it turns off and goes back to the samsung logo.

Can you please explain in a little more detail? I greatly appreciate the response though. My model is SM-G920A and my build number is G920AUCS4CPG1, if you can find my stock firmware that'd be amazing.
Just google sammobile firmware website and put your model no. There and select your varrient country and download latest firmware for your varrient and you can download latest odin.exe from below page after downlading your firmware you need to put your phone into donwload mode swtich offf your phone then press volume down and power button toghter you will get a warning message just continue now open odin on your pc and connect your mobile you have to extract firmware zip and you will get 4 File put all file on their button in odin and clixk start and wait untill firmware flash complet after that you phone will reboot automaticly if you stuck into bootloop just force restart your phone and go into recovery wipe data and catch you will back your phone sorry for my bad english if you did not flash anything or root your phone then you can try wiping methode maybe its work
