[Q] AT&T S5 (G900A) Soft-Bricked / Freezes on Boot Logo using any ROM - General Questions and Answers

I'd appreciate any help to get my phone working again. I've only had it for a couple of weeks and I'm hoping I haven't completely ruined it...
I'll try to recall the exact steps I took to get to this point:
First, towelroot wouldn't work to get root due to me accepting the OTA update to 4.4.4 android. So I found on a forum post that you can use Odin to flash the stock kernel and then towelroot will work. So I downloaded the stock kernel and flashed it successfully using Odin. Towelroot was then able to work with success. After that I installed SuperSU and busybox. Then I was using this guide (URL omitted due to forum rules) to install SafeStrap recovery as I'd read CWM recovery didn't work for the G900A model (AT&T). Safestrap seemed to install OK and when I rebooted I was able to get into the SafeStrap software interface. From there, I attempted to flash the CM12 nightly build to the "stock rom" slot (I'd read there was some trouble using the non-stock-rom slots in SafeStrap). That operation completed with success, but when I tried to reboot, it froze at the CM12 splash screen. I tried this with a few more custom ROMS and they all do the same thing (freeze up on boot logo / splash screen).
I've tried using Odin to flash back the stock firmware. As long as I didn't try to flash the bootloader (BL) Odin shows "PASS". However, when it reboots it again hangs on the Samsung splash screen.
So at this point, I've flashed all stock firmware to the phone (except BL) and it freezes and then goes black screen on the Samsung splash screen. Also, it no longer shows the SafeStrap "recovery / continue" bootup screen since I flashed the stock firmware.
Any ideas on how I can get back to a useable device?...

Connect your phone in "DOWNLOAD" mode (Power off and then press "Vol down + home + power" at the same time)
Open "ODIN" and select the downloaded firmware as "AP"

Googled the error. Solution is to flash the firmware with PIT file. Only problem is that someone has to give you a working pit file.

Same problem with other Samsung phone and description for the solution --> CLICK ME

I'm still stuck... I'm just looking to get back to a usable device. I really don't care if it's a stock or custom rom at this point. Any help is appreciated.

I tried flashing with the full firmware package I downloaded (4.4.2 G900A stock firmware) which included a *.pit file inside one of the tarballs. I used the PIT/re-partition option and everything succeeded except it still freezes at the Samsung boot logo.

Anyone? I'm getting desperate here...

hi I'm new to android sorry if i'm asking stupid questions:
1) any tutorial on how to upgrade to jb from ics?
2) is there any simple way which doesnt need rooting,doesnt void warranty and can be turned back to my original firmware when the official update is out?
Thanks
Search the post you will find many post on this
Go to this site http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-bean-firmware-on-galaxy-note-10-1-gt-n8000/
Remember only follow the steps in the video where he flashes ICS.
What you will need to flash JB
Odin - download it from general section there is post in firmwares right at the top
Firmware - again you can download it from the same post
Should have all the drivers installed (Install Kies it should install all drivers, exit kies before you start to flash)
Once you download the file extract the file
Press power+ volume down button till you boot into download mode, once you do press the volume up button
Connect your table to you laptop using the usb cable (Charger cable)
run odin from the directory where you have downloaded it
click on PDA load the file you have just unzip it should be with the exten tar.md5
Dont change any other setting make sure everything except auto reboot is unchecked
Click on Start an wait till it gives you the complete message it will reboot automatically once it has done
If you get any errors let me know

ok, so i follow all the steps from the link given, but instead of using the outdated rom given, I replace it with my 4.1.1 for UK and 4.0.4 for UK,
am I correct?
[Step 8. You can root your new Note 10.1 using the CWM root method. Watch the latter part of the video tutorial above if you are having trouble.]
can I skip this step?
Ok just replace the rom with 4.1.1 flash it using odin as shown and stop dont do anything else. Root if you only want to because it will increase your flash count and void your warranty though there is a solution for that to

Okay I'm at work so I do have all the correct zip files and Odin version, but I used Odin and automobile rar. File started Odin and it failed half way through, when I tried it a second time it seemed to get further but failed also, once I unplugged and reboot, a message said the update failed to use kies to complete the update. The kies reinstalled the rom back to factory and I lost everything. .

As far as I know the CF-Auto-Root/TWRP method still works fine in Lollipop.

I am furious that this simple process has gotten hard for me. I flashed CF auto root, and it failed (as the thread said it would). I went through the steps to flash TWRP and it fails the same way THAT CF auto-root failed. I tried to use the no-download mode option on step 4 instead (like you guys suggested) and my odin just sat there. It was still on, but everything was grayed out. There was no change to my phone and it was still usable.
I rooted this phone no problem when I bought it. I just factory reset it and flashed to 5.0.1. What am I doing wrong?

AT&T Tab 4 8" T337A Temp Root

This is a temp root and will be removed every hard boot.
I am not responsible if you break your device!
You have been warned.​
Knox is not tripped​
Hello All, I Have found a temp root process for those who have the AT&T Tab 4 with the kernel build Thu Aug 13 17:01:34 KST 2015.
Download Tab 4(Temp root), you will have 3 files. Odin 3.07, boot(LP_fix).tar and Kingroot-4.1.apk.
Install KingRoot on your tablet run and click Start Root. After the first time the process of checked for root will take longer as su will still be installed.
You will now have KingUser installed in /system/app/
When uninstalling bloatware, do it in one go.
When you have to reboot, reboot into download mode or you will get the AT&T unauthorized screen.
Use Odin to Flash PDA with the boot(LP_fix).tar, this will wipe the su links so the kernel doesn't see it and will boot. You will reboot automatically back to the launcher and will be able to reboot without using Odin.
Need help furthering permanent root as this is beyond my skills.
Update 1/27/16 14:35
Deleting all knox related apps is safe so far, setting build.prop ro.build.selinux=0 and a soft reboot seems to put kernel in permissive mode. Download a soft reboot app from the play store for reboots.
Don't let you tablet die and you don't have to keep doing this process!
Thanks to CocaFoca for the boot(LP_fix).tar.
Thanks for the dev(s) of KingRoot.
Does it work
Anyone try this yet?
---------- Post added at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------
Seems kind of weird no one is commenting on this, wonder if it works
I see this on a few different sites but no comments on any of them. I use my tab for work and can't afford to be Guinea pig and turn tab into hockey puck so have to wait a while I guess. If anyone can confirm that this works let us know please
Seeing as how the author wont even reply its not worth the risk to me
This works just no hard boots. No knox trips either. Still working on recovery methods maybe someone can help upload there build.prop.

Just search soft reboot in play store and it has red arrows in a circle motion. As long as you don't mess with build prop you will be fine.
on your notes on the 27th you put to do.... setting build.prop ro.build.selinux=0...... do I still do that? The last message you sent said as long as I dont mess with build prop I will be fine...

If you know what your doing you can change build.prop, do you need permissive kernel? All it does is disables SElinux for stuff like xsposed which isn't supported yet. Its aimed more to someone who will help farther to permanent root. The build prop is really good for this device.

No custom recovery yet as I was told bootloader is locked, until someone confirms custom recovery works in am staying away as there's no Odin firmware and I need warranty. Yes Odin 3.09 will work but it will remove root really no need unless a hard reboot is needed your your tablet dies. Just keep with soft reboots. As for viper I would stay away soundalive is way better. Stock recovery will not work.
Better than viper4android? I highly doubt that. Don't think that is possible
First, just want to say thanks for sharing this info & zip. It brought my tab back from the dead after i rooted. (initially i was unaware it had a locked bootloader until after i rooted). I just have a cpl questions maybe someone in here can answer.
1. Has anyone tried using Flashify or Root Rashr to flash the boot_LP_fix.tar before powering off? I personally have never used either app so i dont know if either can flash .tar files. I know Mobile Odin would probably work, buy it doesn't support LP. 2. Has anyone installed busbox? 3. Do any of the "Hide Root" type apps function in such a way as to let the tab reboot? Those were just a few questions i had about this. Thanks for any info.

Hide root does not work has to do with the kernel checking for root or sumlinks, busy box installs and works but no idea on flashify.
Thanks. Appreciate the info. Im only looking for a way to safely power down bcuz about 2 or 3 times a week my tab doesnt get plugged I into a charged so it gets shut off. My girlfriends mother & son play with it & use it to stream movies. It would be great if there was a functional equivalent of Mobile Odin Pro so when i was done busing it i vould simply flash the tar. file so it would boot. Maybe ill do a little experimenting & see what happens. Thanks again
Can someone with a rooted SM-T337A do a system dump with these files included modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin, recovery.img, a cache dump, and the PIT file??? Please

I think I dun goofed :c. Was working fine, then I had to reboot, flashed the .tar, but I think I was a second late on catching it, because now it doesn't boot :c Hangs on ATT screen. HEEELP :C

Hi, i have a galaxy j1 mini sm-j105B . I tried to flash this custom recovery i found on the internet, intended for the sm-j105H , and it worked fine to use it to flash SUperSU on it. But the TWRP i believe its not working 100%. The partition layout is different from H to B model. I dont know how it will work on your F model, but as i said, it worked on mine to use it to push SUperSU inside, root works fine. Want to try ? i can provide the links, but no guarantee it will work for your F as it worked for my B. Cheers

CSC: J105FOJV0APC3
Model: SM-J105F
Country: South Africa
As for the country, I don't mind using any ROM, even the one from Asia as long as I can change the language to English and get hold of the custom recovery.

It's not a bad thing since I have the original stock recovery. I just flash it again and try another custom recovery with the hope that one will eventually work

Just to clarify, the twrp i will provide does show that message before it boots. But that does not make my device bootloop like i read somewhere, nor it stops it from installing supersu correctly. It seems to work just fine. Anyway, if you dont want to see that message simply flash the stock recovery.img (easy downloadable) via Odin compressed as .tar . It replaces the recovery without changing the root status. While in download mode, your phone status will still be "custom", but no more seandroid messages will be displayed and the root works just fine.
I have seen and fixed that "recovery not seandroid enforcing" and it doesn't make me panic anymore. As for the custom part, my phone has been like that since I used a custom bootloader to achieve root via ChimeraTool then SuperSU failed to update binaries and I am stuck using 360root:crying:

Ok here we go, give this a shot:
------------------------------------------
Developer options -> Enable OEM Unlock + USB Debug.
Flash with Odin.
In case it does not work, let me know.
Mine have the "recovery not seandroid..." but it works just fine. Also in case it does boot ok into twrp, press the touch button right above the home button and check if there is any stuff written there in RED. report to me please in case it does. Press the same mid touch button to go back to the main menu.
You can a video i uploaded here for my j105B, as reference:

1 out of 10 people had an issue where Odin would "PASS" the twrp flash, but the stock recovery would remain. We managed to fix this but then you would need extra files.

If this does not work for the Y version, it should be close anyway. Give me some time and i will check if it should be compatible for you, or if needs changes

Thanks so much, got rid of that Chinese root and SuperSU updated binaries.
I did get that "RECOVERY NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" which I got past by tapping on the "powered by android" logo, from there it was smooth sailing...... thanks so much dude

Thanks for the feedback dude, if you have any trouble with the TWRP please share with us since im not professional! Another thing, when inside TWRP if you hitthe touch button that is above the home button in the middle, it shows a "status" page. If there are RED warnings displayed there, please let me know! Cheers

Major help needed please Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock T-Mobile

Here is the quick run down my Note 5 is rooted and was running without any issues ( Custom Rom installed : DARTHSTALKER I disabled ad block because I was having issues opening external links from twitter etc, right after that I just went ahead and restarted my phone and BOOM it would not boot up all I kept getting was this error message
Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock . I know I can probably just flash the stock image using SmartSwitch maybe? or even Odin
I had TWRP installed and have a backup , but I can't get into recovery at all if I could I'd just do a restore from backup
My main concern now is that how can I do this without losing root and data that is already on my device or is that impossible
Help is appreciated Please
Any help is appreciated folks
also I'm searching for stock firmware and was able to find one from sammmobile but my God it has been downloading for the past 2 hours
