First off I didn't think I was a noob but I guess I have to eat crow. I have a GS5 running SM-G900P with OG1. I rooted with CF-Auto-Root-kltespr-kltespr-smg900p.tar.md5 which I did using Odin 3.10 and all went well. Then I set up Odin and flashed philz_touch_6.26.1-klte.tar.md5 and everything went well and the phone worked great. I booted into recovery did my back up like we were all taught to do and when I rebooted I get stuck at the yellow Spark Screen. I have wiped everything that I can think of in Philz and I did get back in once but nothing was running and or crashed. I rebooted but then got stuck at the same place.
I have tried redoing the system with G900PVPU3BOG1_G900PSPT3BOG1_G900PVPU3BOG1_HOME.tar.md5 which I found on another thread but no joy here. I rooted it again and installed philz but everything was the same stuck at the yellow screen. I have installed my backup and no luck there either. I have tried and tried but got nothing. I was going to install MOAR and was going to give that a try but not sure if that would make things worse or what. Any suggestions would sure be great. Thanks in advanced
I think nobody likes answering posts like this because my phone did the same thing I posted it and I got no response. I finally got my phone back to normal though I lost all my info though but my phone works again. I used twrp 2.8.7.0 and did an advanced wipe of the cache, data, dalvik cache, and then rebooted and it worked again although it had to go throuh the whole activation and setup process again.

1. Did you try restoring your backup?
2. If you Odin the stock tar, just try to boot it
3. If I were you, I would odin the stock tar, boot, shut down, odin a recovery, and then use odin for supersu tar or recovery for a supersu zip. I could be wrong, but I thought I read that some people had issues with autoroot on the new OTA OG1.
4. MOAR is fairly stable and pretty stock and since you flashed a recovery...might as well.
I recommend using TWRP by ktoonsez. Never ever have I had an issue.
Also, when recovering from any issues, flash stock tar as you have, let it reboot to recovery and you'll see a little android guy doing stuff, it will reboot afterwards. After it powers off and the android guy is gone, hold home and volume up to boot into stock recovery and use the stock recovery to wipe the data.

ok. the phone will not completely boot into a rom (stock or custom). but i have wiped all data, cache, dalvik MANY times, i have flashed stock kernel and rom from samsung. this will start to load the 4G LTE boot animation and just hangs there all night. i have tried the [ROOT] VRALEC Bootchain - Allows us to Odin a custom recovery method and flashed a stock rooted rom also, just either hangs at the 4glte boot screen or just reboots over and over never getting passed the samsung logo at initial power up.
I have tried beanstown, i have tried everything i can seem to find on the forums. same 2 outcomes. I am using ODIN, and i have never had issues with this before (usually test something out every 2-3 days tops).
is there a chance somehow my partition table is all screwed up? i am lost with ideas at the moment.
lol. has this scared everyone off?
does any one have a stock backup of the NANDROID from their phone? i would be great if they could hook me up as i am in desperate need of one.
bump for ANYONE with any ideas on this first post
did you make a back-up? if not, download root66 to your computer and ODIN to that, if you can get into download mode

i can get into download mode, and i have used odin to do root66. reboot and same thing happens and hangs. also flashed stock kernel.
I do not have my backup because either it has erased my internal sd card, or it is not accessing it.
Hey there guys.
I rooted my Blaze back in October, and loaded CWM 10. Things weren't working 100% right and I decided to unroot today to get the phone back to factory settings. Unfortunately, no matter how many times I follow the directions for unrooting the Blaze--using the .pit, and the updated firmware .tar--my phone still gets stuck in a reboot loop. It gets past the T-Mobile Blaze screen, but gets stuck on the SAMSUNG screen (it just has SAMSUNG flashing over and over, and then loops into the Android screen).
I've tried to flash the stock .tar about seven times now, and each time it's done the exact same thing. I haven't been able to find a thread to help me, despite searching enthusiastically, so I hope you guys can help me out. Basically, I've done everything the unrooting guides have told me to do, but my phone still appears to be soft-bricked. I can still get into download mode, Odin still recognizes the phone, and it always says that my process has succeeded, but then the phone still gets stuck in a reboot loop.
Any ideas?
Have you booted to the recovery and factory resetted and wiped cache?

I did before I tried to unroot it the first time, yes, with CWM. Now, the phone seems to think it's unrooted, so it won't let me go into recovery mode and factory reset.

Oops, sorry, I misinterpreted your question. Yes, when I boot into recovery mode I can factory reset, wipe cache, etc. I've done all those things before trying to flash the stock rom, and it hasn't helped.

So first register at www.sammobile.com, then search SGH-T769 under firmware and download the August 2012 ICS or The Feb 2013 ICS Firmware, wait for the download to finish (took me 30 minutes) then extract which ever firmware zip you downloaded then using Odin click on PDA and select the .md5 file which is located in the extracted ICS Firmware Folder that you've downloaded from sammobile.com
Download the PIT file here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
Click on PIT in Odin and then select the one downloaded from the link above
then make sure re-partition isn't checked and start the flashing process after it is done flashing and reboots you'll have stock ics
*BOOT LOOP MIGHT OCCUR*
To fix boot looping after flashing stock ICS just boot into stock or custom recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot and you're good to go.

Thank u i thought i was fully bricked

Hi guys,
I have run into a problem when trying to revert my phone back to stock using odin. Here is the backstory. I was rooted running CM 10.2. Decided to try a 4.3 ROM. Flashed the new ROM successfully but noticed it was really janky when I was setting it up (clean install) and decided to flash my backup of CM 10.2. When flashing the backup, the flash only partially completed and booted into a non-functional version of my 10.2 ROM.
At this point I decided to use Odin and go back to completely stock. Ive used this a few months ago and it worked successfully. I used a tar.md5 of VRBLK3. Odin says "passed!" but when the phone tries to boot up, it gets to the verizon 4G animation and sits there cycling through that animation indefinitely.
I'm at a loss as to what to try next. Ive tried re-doing the odin flash with the same results. Thanks for any help!
Edit: Ive tried booting into the recovery and doing factory rest/wipe cache partition with no luck
Edit: Tried booted into recovery and it worked! I think im good from here.
Clear Cache
I had something similar happen several months ago. I believe the solution for me was to boot into recovery and clear out the cache.

If you didn't get it fixed, pull battery, boot into recovery and factory reset. This will clear data and cache from previous installed ROM. Odin doesn't do this for you.

I was working a phone for a friend, Rooted it with the Framaroot, gained root and shell root access, installed the modified 3e recovery, flashed the CWM version for infuse 2x, made a nandroid, rebooted into system, ran fine, downloaded ICS and Gapps for ICS, rebooted back into recovery, flashed the files, everything went through, said it was finished, no problem, right? WRONG! Rebooted system via recovery and now it will not go back into the system, wont go into recovery and will sometimes try loading a CWM background...help.
Use Odin to flash stock image and try again. When you flag cm9, don't do anything else and reboot immediately, you will get stick at the Galaxy S boot screen. Then remove the battery, boot back to CWM, flash cm9 again, only now you may flash or do anything else, but before that it's better to boot into system first.

Wow, finicky little device, isnt it, lol. Okay. I'll look up the How-to on using ODIN. This is my first Samsung phone that I have rooted, so definitely a learning process. Same thing with my HTC's, each one is different, only they are all the same, lol. THANKS!

Hi, Thank you ahead of time to anyone who might have a minute to help me out. I have been combing XDA and as well as some other sites trying to find a solution myself but given my limited experience in this area Im at the point where I thought it best to stop and ask for help rather than do the wrong thing and have my phone blow up in my hands TNT style
I rooted my s5 a few weeks ago using Odin with C-f--auto-root, which went perfectly and I had zero issues afterwards.. This was only my second rooted device so of course I was exploring all of my new options out there to customize my phone.
The problem occurred after installing the apps Layers Manager and Layers Showcase (BitSyko Development) from the Playstore. Both seem like great apps and were not to blame for this problem, I just happened to be using them when I jacked something up.
Basically, over a day or two I tried several Layers Themes and they applied just fine, but one did not. Shortly after applying the Layer, and rebooting my phone I ended up on the bright Yellow Sprint Spark startup screen and my phone wont budge past this point.
I am able to boot into Recovery Mode as well as Download mode. I tried wiping the cache Partition as i had read to do as well as doing a full data clear and reset ,but it still; wouldnt move past the yellow screen. Then I very carefully followed directions to flash the stock firmware using Odin, making sure i used the right one for this phone and Odin displayed PASS! at the end. From what i could tell, it all went fine... But it STILL wont move past that enraging yellow screen!!
I think I may have missed something in regards to flashing stock firmware but i dont know. Ive read some other suggestions and things to try but, like i said, at this point and with my limited experience, I thought it best to concede and ask the experts for some help.
I hope I included any information needed...
Are you waiting long enough to allow for loading? Did you try installing a stock rom that matches bootloader version?

Hi, thank you for your reply. Yes, the stock rom i used matched the original rom on the device. I had taken some screen shots of the Device Info screen a while back for something else, so luckily i had a lot of general info right there shot the s5. And i waited a good amount of time. Odin took a few minutes and it read PASS at the end. From what i could tell, it was all done and i still waited just to be sure. But the more i think about it, the more i feel that i did do something wrong at this step. I'm just not certain what

Flash the TWRP recovery in odin
After that enter in recovery mode and format system, data, cache, dalvik cache, sdcards.
Then put the phone into download mode, and flash with odin the last stock rom (OG1) but make sure you don't have selected the "reboot" option in odin
After you got your phone flashed, take the battery out put it again and enter in recovery mode, choose "wipe data/factory reset"
Then put your phone in download mode and flash again the stock rom (OG1) this time with the "reboot" option selected
After you flashed your phone the first boot takes some minutes (in the yellow screen), just be patient.
After this you should have your phone complety clean and your problem solved.

see, nw this is the type of post i like to see!! @daniel3x , for future reference, idoneapps.com has WAAAAAAY faster downloads then sammobile and the tar.md5 files are 100% legit! But youre reply is pretty much exactly what i would have said. I personally would have advised on OK4 vs OG1. OK4 is just easier to mess with on TWRP and stuff.
wait a while for first stock boot from yellow screen
I've read that flashing a stock firmware will take 10 to 20 or more minutes on your first boot. Let the heat sink from your body and give it time.
I want to flash to a stock as well. Can I just full system wipe in twrp and Odin og1 or ok4>what I'm currently on and would like to keep it? Should I take out my SIM? Should I take out my sd card? Will I need to re partition my ext2/4 on the sd? Does the stock image replace the bootloader? I have a twrp backup on my extsd, can I use it after attempting to flash stock? Flash stock tar/zip should stock be a tar?, Odin kltespr twrp in pda mode, leave everything alone, root method of choice, phh su so flash in twrp, should I update Odin? I have 3.07 and 3.10.6. Then wait out that initial boot. I don't want a backup of what I have now because I've done things I wantedd to revert and do differently this time as I'm not AS clueless

Oh, some app permissions can cause a bootloop. Instead of flashing the whole stock rom, you can flash the recoveries through odin.
You can either:
-Flash stock recovery through Odin (BL slot) and perform a factory reset/cache wipe
-Go through TWRP and restore your backup
-Go through TWRP and wipe your cache partitions on ADVANCED WIPE

This salvaged my sprint phone
I had to flash back from LineageOS 14.1 to stock rom temporarily to "update profile" so I could make phone calls again after moving the phone to a new line. I tried several different versions of stock rom and flashed via ODIN, but all got stuck on the boot loop. It felt like I had searched endlessly for a solution until I came across this thread. I followed the process (Thank you @daniel3x & @youdoofus) using the stock rom ending in OK4; it worked flawlessly!
If possible, I would like to see this thread "stickied" for Sprint Galaxy S5. It will likely save other users a lot of time.
