Hi all,
I was running the new SaberMod Carbon ROM for a few days and decided I didn't like it so I tried to restore a nandroid back up of what I had been running before (rwilco's mostly stock). The phone wouldn't reboot after restoring the backup, it would start and then go right back to recovery. Then I tried just flashing the rwilco's mostly stock as new instead of from a back up, and that had the same results - said it was complete but when I selected reboot phone it just went back to recovery. So I decided to flash the stock tar in Odin, but that kept failing. Now I can't get into recovery, it says something about an update being interrupted. I can get into download mode, but the stock firmware keeps failing in Odin.
I am guessing here that my problem is that the SaberMod rom is based on 5.1.1 and the stock firmware for the G900P (as well as the other rom and backup I tried) are 5.0.0, and I remember hearing you can't go back to an older firmware version. Does this sound right? and if so how do I get my Galaxy working again?
TIA for all help and suggestions!

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.

I have phillz recovery on it right now....can't get into the recovery though since it says a firmware update was interrupted. Would TWRP be better than phillz? and would flashing that get it past the firmware interrupted message?
I tried starting by flashing TWRP but that fails too....any other suggestions?
Can't flash anything in Odin, everything fails. Any other ideas before this thing goes for a swim in the sink?

Ever since I tried the T-Mobile ROMs, I have been experiencing force close issues and random errors.
I tried getting back to stock, followed the thread in the sticky. It is just stuck at recovery.img step (as shown in the picture). I flashed the recovery from ODIN and it passed just fine, but not the 618 MB stock tar. Not sure what can possibly be wrong. How can I bring my phone back to normal?
after u flash stock .tar go to stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset for three times and reboot you will be OK after.

But it is stuck in the recovery step when I try to flash this stock tar : SGH-I727-UCKJ2-k0nane.tar.
Hi,
was this ever fixed? I'm stuck at the exact same place (recovery.img) on the same device. Help?
Thanks
flash cwm. Then put darkside flash on an sd card and put it on your phone. Erase system, data, and cahce partitions, 3 times. Then flash darkside. Reboot phone back into cwm. Flash a rom. You should be good
Looks like I fixed it by using an older version of Odin (1.3).

I was going to say, ODIN Version plays more into this than we ever think. I was stuck in a similar situation on my SGT and took me a few days to find out that i was using the wrong version of Odin. So now I have 3 devices and 3 versions lmao had to use "folders" even.
hi everyome i need some help. i used odin to go back to stock on my skyrocket, it said it is done but it is stuck on an infinet boot loop! i ran odin again, and went into stock recovery. still boot looping help me please i just got this phone! how do i fix this
Does it boot to the OS and then reboot? Or does it not get that far?
Try doing a stock 3E Recovery format.
noo, it only goes to the glowing samsung logo then reeboots.. all over and over
Pull battery... re-insert battery... plug cable in phone so it boots into download mode... can you get into dload mode? If so, flash the stock 3e recovery again and see if that helps solve the boot loop.. IF you care about the flash counter, don't odin flash a kernel or rom with kernel... if you don't care about counter, odin flash the stock tar.
ok, how do i do the kernal way. havent tried that yet.
thas how it began is i flashed the stock tar in odin
flashes stock recovery, still nothing....
if you flashed the stock .tar via Odin, you may have already tripped the customer binary (flash) counter. Anyway, if you can get into recovery or download, you should be able to recover it. Give us some history: What recovery did you have on the phone (CWM or 3e stock recovery)? Doesn't sound like you can get it back into Recovery.... but can you get into Download mode?
i had cwm 5.0.2.7 installed, i then got my stock tar and flashed it. it started up, went to the glowing samsung screen, then shut off and restarted again. at first i could get into 3e recovery and dload. let me try if i can get into 3e again.
i am now in 3e recovery
you may have had a bad stock tar flash... but if you're in 3e recovery, did you wipe data/ factory reset yet? clear cache? (I have CWM recovery now, so can't recall what the stock 3e recovery options were... someone else might know). See if you can wipe data/ factory reset (clear cache) and see if you can reboot into android.
no luck factory reset and clear cache didnt work. this should be a soft brick right? i can get into my recovery and dload mode, there has to be a way to fix this.
i hope u have a microsd, this method should work if u do. Remove it and download darkside erase utility to it, and put it back in phone. Flash cwm recovery in download mode, and reboot into it. Flash darkside, then reboot into download mode again and flash stock, this will fully erase ANYTHING left on ur phone
this first link is Odin back to stock... sounds like this is what you tried, but read through the OP on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348
here's another great thread by appdroid "All in One guide for NOOBs".. read through the first few pages... good info for flashing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427268
A few weeks ago, I soft-bricked my SR... and I had 3e recovery on at the time so my options were limited. I didn't want to trip my flash counter, so I opted to Odin flash CWM recovery tar... then from CWM, I flashed silver03wrx's stock 2.3.6 KK1 rom zip. Go to Dev Forum (stickies) and you can find the CWM recovery tar. You can also find the stock roms. You can download those zips to your desktop/laptop computer. From CWM there's a way to mount usb storage so you can grab those zips and put them on your sdcard... then flash the rom zips. give a quick read to those first 2 threads
downloading now.... would flashing the kk1 radio about a week ago have to do with anything, was working great, since the stock is kj1 or something would i have to reflash the stock radio, which i just did. so i hope it was ok to do that.
no luck, when i tried to flash a rom, it quit out of cwm, went to samsung screen and stays on the glowing samsung logo forever now. have to take the battery out or reset it
thank you icenight89! you saved my phone! at first it didnt work becuase i didnt rebbot into recovery, did it a second time rebooted into recovery and it is now booting into the rom, thank you so much! if i could thank you 1 million times i would!

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

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.

Hi guys, not sure if I'm in the right thread (please move me if not admins)
I was running superman on my s7, I decided to clean out my phone by flashing stock firmware and then reflash a custom rom.
The stock flash went well as expected, checked oem unlock and USB debugging then I flashed twrp 3.1.1
My phone was then stuck on the 3 logo (I flashed h3g csc while stock flashing) for 15 minutes
So out of lack of patience, I rebooted my phone, now it's stuck on a boot loop splashing the Samsung boot image then resetting with a vibrate and this is constant.
I managed to open twrp on the phone and thought a wipe might be in order, did that and FAILED, without me rebooting it rebooted itself.
Then I tried to reflash stock firmware in Odin, again that failed.
Still stuck in a boot loop.
I know I've screwed up but any advice would be grand.
Thanks guys :good:
right, fixed the issue.
went into twrp, wiped the system by typing 'yes'
wipe dalvik, data and system.
rebooted into download via twrp and flashed stock rom again
works fine
all because i didn't uncheck auto reboot in odin when flashing twrp..... D'oh! :silly:
i iz idiot

I am somewhat confused with your writing, or you write the wrong information.
1. Wiped system in twrp as long as I know do not need to write "yes".
2. Twrp is not download mode, it is recovery mode
#Btw, this should not be in this section
Best regards,
Quick one for you, if you ever can't get to twrp after bootlooping. Press and hold power+home+vol up. Let phone reboot but keep holding buttons till it reboots a second time and then you will get download mode.
tHIS IS RIGHT SECTION FOR QUESTIONS AND DIALOGUES ABOUT s7, so proceed pls.
Hello, i have the SM-G9200ZH (Hong Kong version)
I disabled some system apps through pdp and got into a bootloop, after trying many things i did a factory reset and flashed through odin this firmware which is the latest
G9200ZHU2ERK2_G9200ZZH2ERK2_G9200ZHU2ERK2_HOME.tar the phone showed the bootanimation and then restarted to itself to bootlogo, over and over again.
So then i found a Pit file, and correct AP, BL, CSC, CP files for my device G9200ZHU2EQL1_G9200ZZH2EQL1_7.0, i flashed through odin selecting Nand Reset and Re-partition too.
At this point i still have the same issue, Phone goes into the bootanimation and then restarts itself over and over again.
The only way i have made the phone boot is by installing a custom ROM with TWRP, but i cant use any because it doesnt recognize the sim while using them.
Every time i flashed a firmware, When first booting i got a blue screen on the stock recovery that goes to 32% and then fails and says erasing.
Also im not using my Original Cable
So, can someone help me to make it work again? or to Tell me which custom rom actually works for my phone.
Did you try "wide /data" right after you've flashed the stock ROM?

I did wipe data right after flashing through Odin, and also tried not wiping data after flashing through Odin. None of these worked, I don't know what to do
You can try flash twrp through odin then magisk/ supersu through twrp
