Phone Stuck In Error Screen

My Phone (Obviously T769) is stuck in the Download mode saying
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
I tried that, Kies does not detect my phone in this mode. (I think. may be wrong)
What I did that got me up to here:
Tried to reflash to stock using Odin since my ROM was damaged.
Loads the PIT and TAR
Goes into download mode
Starts.
IT FAILS.
I try to just go back to android.
End up wid dis screen.
F
M
L.
Any ideas guys? Fanks
EDIT:Just realized wrong thread
****.

I was dealing with this earlier today so here is how I fixed it I used the root to stock Odin thread instructions flashed the files from that thread using Odin then I got a bootloop so then I followed the instructions on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917570
[FIX] "Your device does not support software upgrading via kies"
And soon after flashing those files I booted into recovery wiped data and cache and then rebooted fixed bootloop

Stuck on NKD leak wont flash OA6 full restore

Somebody please help! I am racking my brain on why i cannot load the OA6 full restore onto my sprint G900P. I had no problem restoring the leaked NKD Lollipop and have been running on it for some time. When i load the new software Odin 3.09 loads all the files and when its done the stock recovery does dot boot it stays at the samsung splash screen and freezes when it says " opening recovery" and never loads or continues.
The second thing that is strange is is it will not allow me to revert back to the stock NE5 firmware either. I am basically stuck on the NKD firmware. Some instruction would help, thank you.[/QUOTE]

when you went into download mode, did you power down the phone completely and do the power button down button and home button?

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.

[Completed] stuck on boot screen ,please help...!

I own a samsung galaxy ace duos phone (gt s8602) , i recently downloaded the cyanogenmod 7.2 and later opened the boot menu in my phone and installed the mod from the folder of phone. as soon as it completed installing, it displayed installation completed.and then my phone automatically got rebooted . but after loading the samsung boot animation it paused for two seconds, then again loaded the samsung boot animation and then keeps doing it again and again. i again opened the boot menu and factory reseted and cleared cache, but still it keeps doing the same...please help me guys...!!!

Thank you for using XDA Assist. First, always make a nandroid backup in your custom recovery before flashing roms. If you don't have a nandroid then you'll have to flash the stock frimware using odin. You can get more help here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31713212#post31713212

Thanks, anyways i should have made a backup, but i didn't which was my fault.... but now i can't do anything since i'm stuck on the boot screen. the only thing i could do is open the bootscreen. hence i planned of installing back the stock firmware by selecting on the "apply update from sd card" . but the thing is that, even it says apply update from sd card,when i select it , it just shows up the files on phone and not the "external storage" which is the only way by which i could copy the stock firmware and then install it.
Now as you said i could install it through the odin mode, but i have no idea on how to use the odin mode and how to install it. the only thing i know is that i could open the odin mode in my phone by pressing the powerbutton+home button+volume down button. please can you assist me in installing it through the odin mode...?

Please see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...08-2013-odin-3-09-odin-1-85-versions-t2189539 The only thing you need to worry about is flashing the .tar.md5 file in Odin's PDA slot, AP slot for Odin 3.0 and higher. Google odin 1.85 xda to download Odin v1.85 which will work fine. If you have additional questions please post in the links I supplied or here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31713212#post31713212

Need Help With Bricked Note 5

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.

Uncheck auto reboot in Odin and Odin twrp.
Reboot straight from download mode into twrp and flash either smoar rom or the deodexed rom by tdunham. Did you make sure you oem lock is off ?

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?
