Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
Can you still boot to recovery? If so you can try the normal wipes in recovery and reboot, you can restore a nandroid backup if you ever made one, you can download another custom ROM for your model and try flashing it.
If none of that works and you can boot to download mode, you can flash the stock firmware, most Samsung firmwares are available at Sammobile.com and at samsung-updates.com, you will have to use your exact model number(located behind the battery), get the firmware for your exact model, it doesn't have to be 4.1.2, any firmware version will work as long as it is for your exact model number, it cannot be for another model number. If you want to root after restoring the stock firmware then you need to check if the firmware you find is rootable before you flash it, some are not rootable depending on your device.
When I search your model number on XDA, it comes up that your device is compatible with the T-Mobile custom ROMs, see if you can find one for download that doesn't have a dead link and flash it through recovery if you can get to recovery, dont forget ot get the right gapps to go with the ROM you find if you decide to go that route. The ROMs can be found in the forum linked below.

Hi.
My galaxy tab 3 lite SM-T110 is stuck in a boot loop, I never used a custom rom, just a few root-required apps.
I don't know how to fix it, I tried a few tutorials but they didn't work.
I'm downloading the stock rom right now, but it's not in my region, and I don't know if that matters because it's not a phone. Could I have trouble with language if it isn't the right region?
Please help, thanks.
Hi,
Here is a similar thread you can follow for flashing stock with Odin.
But you need the firmware for your exact model, or you could have very serious issues. Try sammobile website for firmware.

Hi all
First of all i need to say that i m all new to android and samsung phones, so i may ask questions that can seem stupid, be patient with me please, i m new but i learn fast
I just bought a brand new canadian i337m from koodo mobile, and it comes with the android version 4.4.2, baseband i337mvlufni2, build number kot49h.i337mvlufni2. I want to root my phone and open an all new world to me, but from what i read from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2293800, there are some problems with WIFI and Bluetooth after rooting, i guess something went wrong during the rooting process, or the files used weren't the correct ones. That's why i want to make sure that i will use the right files to flash with Odin, i don't want to brick my brand new phone. My problem is that i can't find the right files of CF-Auto-Root to flash with, since in his website for autoroot, chainfire has files for i337m based on build number KOT49H.I337MVLUFNC1, but my phone has newer build number kot49h.i337mvlufni2. Did Chanfire forget to update his website ? or the build number doesnt make any difference ? am i missing something ? Please can someone help me or guide me so i can root the phone safely ?
Thanks in advance

Did you find an answer?
Im having the same issue..... tried the root method by chainfire for my phone model in another thread but Odin gives me "Fail"
and im thinking its because i have an updated build.
Thanks,
I have a t-mobile s3 that was at one time rooted then updated to the latest firmware root was lost and never rerooted. I was running the latest update totally stock no modifications. The phone wont complete the boot it just hangs at the end where the samsung is going from blue to white. The phone will go into download mode and recovery however when i tried to do a factory reset on it it failed. The device is not rooted so i cant flash a rom to it. I dont know how to fix it. I dont know what version of odin to use and am not sure what rom to put on it or if i can even do it. I connected the phone to odin and it said s4 mini so I am thinking that is not the version of odin to even try and flash the stock firmware. any suggestions on how to fix my phone or if it can be fixed?
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
I cant post a link for you but you can go to Sammobile or samsung-updates and use your model number to find your stock firmware. I'm sure there will be more than one android version for your device so choose whichever you want, just be mindful of which ones are rootable or not if you want to root it again at some point. Then use at least Odin version 3.09 or newer, make sure you have the newest version of "USB drivers for Samsung phones" installed.
If you have more questions or need further assistance you can post your question in the forum linked below.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900V from Verizon and I have been trying to change it to the DarkLord ROM that is a Modded Mix between Note 7 & Edge ROM.
I at first had problems rooting the phone with Odin (it always failed) so I search and search and found a tool called ArabicTool which took care of it and finally I rooted my phone, after that I tried adding TWRP so I could change the ROM but every time I added the recovery tool I got the message saying that the “System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone” and then had to do an emergency restoration using Kies3 and the cycle began again with other methods but always the same result.
I would like to know if anyone has a way to change the ROM on a SM-N900V from Verizon, I have seem some guides that claim the process works with the SM-N900V but every time I try to do them I get the message of software not authorized when I install the recovery app TWRP and then I have to do an emergency restore in Kies3.
Please help anyone it would be really appreciated.

That rom may not be compatible with your device, the verizon variant is different to the other note 3's. I'm pretty sure the verizon note 3 is locked bootloader but if you ask your questions here

I don't have this device but, the following area of the forum is specific to your device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5
With that stated...
This is not an easy question to answer because there's a handful of Custom Firmware releases that's specific to your J5 (2015) variant device.
The following is the area where you can locate many of the Custom Firmwares and don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance within the one you choose to install. Just be sure to read that threads OP (OP = Original Post, which means Post #1) first to prevent from asking a question already answered in it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development
There's other Custom Firmware released in other areas but, that one is, typically, where they all should be for this variant.
I wish you the best of luck!
