Root was successful but after i rooted my device i tried to install SensatioN ROM but installation was unsuccessful and my phone is stuck in boot loop i tried everything but nothing changed. Tried to delete user data and than installed orignal kernel which in my case is KF3. But i cant get out of it.
Any help wpuld be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

same problem Samsung GS2 boot loop!!!
Hello it seems that i have the same problem as the other user: i just rooted my GS2 the other day and installed te HDBlog Rom. It all went fine until i wanted to install the AOSP Rom. The phone went into a boot loop. I can't get it to enter recovery mode. Does anyone know how to fix this? Now it's just showing the Galaxy S logo clip. Please help!

Turn off the G2, hold Volume up and power. Clear all files. Reboot device.

go into the bootloader and do a wipe.

Boot Loop
The only way i managed to resolve this was through the 3 file method. You can find some info on this on the forum. I'm too tired to search now. Glad i escaped the loop. Pfftiu!
Here it is, i just found it:

Hi,
I had a similar problem and following exactly Intratech's post #108 from the following thread solved my issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278&page=11
The three file install went OK and then I was able to install the latest "one file" tars as usual.

I assume you know how to use Odin. Download the firmware from this link and extract everything to one folder: http://hotfile.com/dl/116656855/2ccf...XWKDF.rar.html
The password for the file is: samfirmware.com
Start Odin and put these in the following
PDA: CODE_I9100XWKDF_CL170898_REV02_user_low_ship.tar
CSC: GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OXXKDD.tar
Modem: MODEM_I9100XXKDJ_REV_02_CL996627.tar
Forget the rest of the files. DO NOT SELECT A PIT FILE AND DO NOT TICK REPARITION.
Put your phone into download mode and connect the usb cable. When the Odin box turns yellow press flash and wait until phone reboots. The first boot will take a while... be patient.
It's 2:58am here so I'm off to bed. I don't know how to make this simpler for you.

Hi all,
I'm having the same issue (samsung logo loop).
I found this thread that seems to fix the issue but the RAR file mentioned is no more hosted...
Can anyone point me to a file that works? Any other idea would be much appreciated !
Thanks.

I had a boot loop on my galaxy s 2 .. out of nowhere didnt do anything.
It was too weird. I spent time reading lots of forums about this and saw different techniques.
What i did was i flashed back to 2.3.6. Did factory reset. then flashed back to ICS.
I think it happened because of some cache bull****. Just thought i should share.

GT N8000 Bricked Urgent Help

OK, Ive been without my note for a whole day and been researching wht to do nonstop
What happened to me was that, since i had updated to official kitkat, i soon developed a taste for lollipop, and went on to try out different ROMs and finally settled on to crDroid
So it was one of those days where everything was going well until the note stopped opening apps for like a minute then showd a black screen and then all of a sudden restarted
Since this was a Sammy i thought it would get back up again.... But no, even a 5 minute didnt wake this beast up, it remained stuck at the boot logo, i.e, Samasung Galaxy Note 10.1
Im like ok ill go on do a factory reset and wipe cache and all, upon trying to accesss the recovery after the boot logo the recovery kinda opens then gets back at boot logo, a black screen shows up then turns on to be a full brightness black screen for a sec then goes back
I can access the download mode and can odin things but they fail every single time.
I have tried to odin a recovery and a stock recovery so far and they show a nand write error
i also have tried to PIT but they get stuck at get PIT for mapping
I have also tried all versions of odin tried changing a USB Port and the wire with no success
So is there any hope for my NOTE??
Please i need help its urgent

is it rooted ?
i have the same problem from 2 months and i am finally got that i must replace the motherboard

Sounds like its written its last, flash is dead.

Since you are able to enter in download mode there is hope. Trying to flash recovery which doesn't match the firmware version will always fail. So, try flashing some of the base firmwares which will return everything to stock. I was in your situation few months ago and managed to flash Android Revolution HD 4.4.2 after first flashing stock firmware via odin. I got my 4.4.2 base firmware from "sammobile.com", firmware section (sorry i don't have enough posts for using links).

I remember i tried flashing TWRP for GT N8000 and i also tried Philz then CWM all for GT N8000
I also tried flashing base rom but it gives NAND write fail

Nand write fail can mean damaged PIT or the actual nand memory is damaged and needs a new motherboard .

flash with pit file
found these pit files for the device.
you can flash the pit file for GT-N8000 in odin
don't forget to repartition, it's a very delicate situation, you don't want to mess it up, before going to this, you should confirm if the size are same. you wont like to flash a 16gb to 32gb partition.

same problem for me, this did not work, still write error

I have a similar problem. Everything is stuck. I am tryingo to go back to stock, but if I try to connect (via Odin, Heimdall, fastbot or adb sideload) i can't.
Is there any advice?
Thanks

nope not yet

I'm early ???
So it turned out that my AMAZING tablet had its storage device corrupted... I. E I exceeded the read write count

Similar problem Bricked N8005
I bought my N8005 (variant of N8000 but phone is disabled just data 3G is available) in 2012. I rooted it once and used custom rom for a while but last year installed official stock ROM again. Yesterday I started a game called "zombidle" (possibly this is an unnecessary info) and tablet restarted itself but stuck on "samsung" logo.
I tried to enter recovery mode but it always restarted and cannot enter recovery mode.
Tried to install different versions of CWM, Philz and TWRP recovery using odin but it always FAILed when NANDwrite started. Tried odin 1.85, 1.87, 3.07, 3.09, 3.12 but all same.
I tried to install same stock ROM but always FAILed.
Then I tried to install a custom rom but it failed too.
I read about bad pit files. Searched internet and found some pit files but nothing changed, FAILed at same point.
Did I finished all solutions?
Should I take it to the doctor?
Any sugesstions?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Today I took it to the Samsung doctors. They said that; this is a mainboard issue and mainboard needs to be changed. That will be over 400TL (TL=Turkish Lira). Device is still in markets and new N8005 is 1300TL (i think this is also expensive. Because new Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 T817 32GB 9.7" is 1900TL in my country).
Does it worth to fix? Any opinions? Can I fix it myself somehow?

Nand write fail probable defunct memory.

4th day on bootloop. Use 2 min and help me!

So it's my 4th day on bootloop and i still can't figure out how to turn my phone on again.
I know how to push files to TWRP. I have Odin ready. I have 2-3 different stock ROM available.
Flashing stock rom doesn't help - even if i put Nand erase all.
Kies or Smart Switch doesn't help me neither.
Tell me what to do - please.
Bootloader, modem, rom, kernel, put files to TWRP or?
Just 2 minute of your time would be greatly appreciated. Please!

Boot into TWRP and go to Wipe, then Advanced Wipe. Check off data, cache, and internal storage, then swipe to do the wipe. Once complete, power off the phone.
Next, boot into Download Mode and flash your latest local stock firmware via Odin. Once the flash is complete, the phone will restart on its own.
The above steps put you at a clean slate. If it's still bootlooping at this point, it's most likely a hardware issue and the phone will need to be replaced.

i bought it brand new in a sealed box off kijiji. i have the box but i dont know where the guy bought it from. i need the reciept to replace it. other than that, i can use warranty to get the phone repaired. i already sent it in and they changed teh battery but that didnt work. is there any way i can find out where the person bought the phone? the person is not replying to my text or calls

So Samsung sent it back to you and it was still bootlooping when you got it back? That's bizarre. I'd send it in again and attach a note.

I know, but there isn't anything else that can be done.
It sucks, but it happens. I've had phones die and I had no choice but to go out and buy a new one. It's the risk we take when tripping Knox.

Why don't you provide us with more details...:/ For example which model phone you have (920F/I/T/V/A/etc.) Bootloop means you soft bricked it afaik.
In this case use ODIN 3.10.7 and take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/project-zero-pac-firmware-pit-file-t3181133
1. Put phone in download mode + open odin ( = the phone is detected aye?)
2. Extract the FAC firmware you downloaded (if i am right it's 1 .tar file and if there are multiple you put modem in CP, bootloader in BL and phone in AP)
3. in AP put the right FAC firmware from the thread mentioned above, if its just 1 .tar file (use G920FXXU2BOG8_G920FOXX2BOG9_XEO_PAC.zip if you have the 920F)
4. In the tab "pit" select the pit file you downloaded for your device; e.g. 920F = G920F_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN150M.pit
5. Start odin and let it succesfully finish
6. let phone reboot.. it will be on the samsung logo for maybe 10 min?

Bricked my phone!

Hey guys, sorry if this is in the wrong forum, and I know there've been similar posts before, but I'm completely new to all of this. I tried to flash my phone but it didn't work, and now it seems I've bricked it. I can get onto the Samsung splash screen, and I can get to the odin screen by holding power home and vol down. I'm trying to use odin v3.10.7 to flash a stock 5.1.1 firmware I got from sammobile but it keeps failing right at the very end. I'm not sure what to do. I have a SM-G920F, from the UK on EE (T-mobile/Orange). If anyone could help me I'd be really greatful.

Flash BTU firmware, your hidden.img is probably what is failing because you need a pit file. Download the BTU, it is unbranded UK firmware.

Turn off your phone, and then turn it on pressing and holding Volume Up, Home, and Power button at the same time until you see a warning. Then press Volume Up to continue, and navigate using volume keys and select wipe cache/factory reset with the Home button, then reboot.
Please note that by doing this all your data will be lost.

Go into recovery (Volume UP, Home Button and Power button) keep pressing them until you get the blue writing saying 'RECOVERY'.
Then go and wipe everything (factory reset), also clear cache if you want to. Then press reboot now. Then it should work

Just done this and its still doing what its just been doing :/

What do you mean by a boot cycle, try and re-flash but this time ticking the delete all option in Odin. After it re-flashes, try and see if it does anything unusual before it starts to go to the 'Samsung' boot animation. After about 5 mins, if it doesn't boot, then go into recovery and do a factory reset. If all that doesn't work, i'll help you flash a PIT file, to get your EE Branded Stock ROM working.
And don't worry, this all happened to me.

So when I turn it on I get the Samsung boot logo, but then it just goes black unless I hold the power button, then it'll boot into the logo again, but that's about as far as I can get it. While its trying to boot the LED is blue (not sure if that matters or not). Just reflashing with erase everything. Thanks a lot for the help I really appreciate it.

It passed Odin. Then it boot into recovery

No problem, and just a heads up, if this doesn't work than do this:
Download THIS PIT file. Go into your PIT section on your ODIN, than open this file. Then WITH the PIT file, make sure you load up your EE Branded Firmware. Make sure re-partion is checked as that is the PIT file
If from there it still fails, than flash THIS PIT file, then do the steps again. The reason I am asking you to flash 2 PIT files, is that I had this EXACT problem, and one of these PIT files saved me, but I don't know which one :/
Good Luck!!

If the BTU firmware works, than forget the EE firmware. (Try to factory reset if it still does not boot)
If not then do the steps above. (And no, the PIT file fixes the EE Firmware)
By the way, be warned when using the PIT file, make sure re-partion is checked WHEN you put in your PIT file.

Thats weird... Could you try to get a video or a series of pictures, with one for every event that happens when the phone boots. And is your KNOX tripped? If you don't know about it, you probably haven't rooted anytime.

Yeah my KNOX is tripped. Do I have to unlock a bootloader or anything? When I originally tried to put new firmware on it, I just connected it to ODIN and uploaded the new firmware into CP and pressed start, didn't do anything else.

Since you have your KNOX tripped, try to flash TWRP and click the little button in the bottom middle, it will bring like a log, if you see any writing thats RED and says something like 'Unable to mount ....' than you might be in a bigger problem (for me the problem was fixed by flashing a PIT file). BUT if it doesn't say that, just click wipe then factory reset, than reboot. If it says 'No OS Installed' than you probably flashed the files incorrectly, but it shouldn't really say that.
I don't mind if you want to send a video to my email, if you want you can just show pictures, it'll probably be easier.
Good luck

Help plz

my samsung galaxy s6 is using android marshmalow,it started last night when out of nowhere it started to reboot itself,i tried restarting the phone but after a few seconds of being on it rebooted it self into the samsung galaxy s6 powerd by android state and keeps showing the white led light and just stays there,i tried wiping particion,factory reset,entering safe mode,but it keeps going back to that exact same state,i also tried charging the phone for several hours but keeps coming back to that state
Note:i can turn the mobile off,and when i do that the phone doesnt reboot,i only reboots when i try to leave it on
-so i now managed somehow to boot it into safe mode and it doesnt reboot,but once i exit safe mode it start the hole thing over again.Note:sometimes when i boot it to safe mode it reboots some times it doesn´t

Wtffff. No repartition or pit file needed with repartition you can brick the phone. Go to sammobile and download from there latest unbranded firmware for SM-G920F and search on internet for a odin tutorial. It will not void your warranty.
