[Q] Stuck in boot loop

I got a problem I am stuck in a boot loop with my Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus (GT-S7500). I updated my software because a message popped up with: 'There are software updates for your phone' So I as a new rooter updated it and now when I try to boot my phone it goes to the ClockWorkMod and I searched on the forum and I tried a lot of stuff and it didn't work. (I rooted with Odin, thought this could be useful)

I think when you updated your phone you or the software bricked it. Hence it is having a bootloop. If you can, i would recommend you to get a latest -STOCK firmware for your device and flash it with Odin.
P.S. Use Stock rom and Odin ONLY(atleast for now) because if you use another method or non-stock rom/custom rom, it might brick your phone even badly.
Hope i helped

[Q] Updating galaxy tab2 10.1 p5113

Forum members:
I recently user rooted my device per the forum excellent instructions but now am unable to to update the firmware for the android OS. When I get the popup notifying me that an upgrade has been downloaded, I go through the drill of rebooting to the Odin screen and then reboot but am then advised that the upgrade failed and something about using Kies. I user rooted the device in anticipation of installing Ubuntu but haven't done it yet. I intended to be able to dual boot depending on what I am working on. I use the android OS most of the time and it works ok but will not upgrade itself. I have searched the posts regarding the inability to upgrade android when the system is rooted but haven't found anything that I understand or that tells me whether or not it is even possible to upgrade the android OS when user rooted. Can anyone answer the question succinctly and if it is possible point me to instructions on how to do it. Any help is sincerely appreciated.

Hi. That's right, you can't make OTA official updates anymore if you rooted the tablet.
You can however download the new firmware version from sammobile (official non-rooted) or some custom version from XDA, then flash it with odin or mobile odin (for official), or CWM (for custom "zip").
Here's a tutorial for Galaxy Note, but it might work for your tablet too - anyway it gives you an idea of how that can be done. The written procedure is here.

going through the same issue...
I am having the same troubles as the person who started this thread. I rooted my samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 from the instructions that I found on this forum. I also installed ClockWork Mod recovery as per the rooting instructions. Now that I am hearing that I will be unable to update to jelly bean (official) because I rooted my device what can i do to work around this problem?
What if we reboot into Clock Work Mod recovery and use the option to restore device to stock firmware? If we did that option it would restore the tablet back to its factory resetting and then could we upgrade to Jelly Bean using the "software update" option?
Or is downloading a firmware from sammobile the best option?
I am really not sure about what to do next...
Hope to hear some kind of response on what to do next...

You can get JB stock from sammobile and flash it with odin. Or you can get a custom JB rom from xda and flash it with cwm. There's nothing complicated about upgrading, both ways are good. I would pick the second one, this way you stay rooted.

[Q] Installing original stock rom N8010: Fail

Hallo Forumianers and XDA-Freaks!
I've got a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8010 Wi-Fi only) and I got it two years ago with retail mode software on it. To get this retail s**t off, I flashed it with CWM and installed a custom rom with same functionality as the stock rom. I was happy with it until now. For some reasons I need to get original stock rom on it now (e.g. update capability by Samsung) and here my problem starts:
I downloaded N8010XXUCMA5 - Open Germany - JB 4.1.2 file, extracted the zip and flashed my N8010 with Odin 1.85 and the xxx.tar.md5 file. It worked perfectly until trying to write the boot.img data. At the very last second (actually 1 or 2 seconds before it should have been finished) the procedure failed with a red field in Odin and the word Failed in it.
Then I just tried to restart the device normal and I got the "DEAD-SCREEN" (An issue occurred while updating device... a.s.o.).
Frustrated from hours of work - I tried the same procedure three times with same result - and sleepy I decided to go back to a custom rom for now. So !! I flashed CWM on the N8010 by Odin and made a system restart.... !!!!! I couldn't believe: N8010XXUCMA5 rom started perfectly and works without any problems...
But my main problem stays: I can't use update functionality to update to newest Samsung version...
Does anybody have an idea on how to resolve this problem and just install original stock rom by Samsung? (e.g. resetting binary counter - not yet tried, etc....).
Do I have to do special procedure before installing N8010XXUCMA5 version???
Thank you all in advance for any help and/or ideas!!!
Best regards, Ingmar

Not really know what do you mean about boot.img, but I flashed my note using stock rom dozens of time without any problem, just Odin and the stock 4.1.2 rom.
I was thinking, probably the rom you downloaded was corrupted or something. I would do a factory reset from recovery mode and try flashing other version (older 4.0.2). Then do the upgrade from the settings menu instead. Probably you'll need to upgrade to 4.1.2 first then to 4.4
Resetting binary count works PERFECTLY, using triangle away (props to the dev; chainfire, purchased it immediately). You need to root your device to use it tho. And yest, GT-N80XX is supported (mine is GT N8000, Wifi-GSM).
hope that helps.
cheers

Thank you for your answer.
I tried now four different firmware versions (cma5 to cmk2) also with triangle away before (triangle away -> reset counts and status -> boot to download mode -> flash versions).
Neither of the versions work. The flashing by Odin 1.85 always fails between 20% and 99%.
Why this could hapen??? Does anybody have an idea or suggestion on how to get an official version of JB and recovery on N-8010???
Best regards,
Ingmar

[Q] GT-N8010 stuck in logo and won't enter recovery

Hi folks,
I've seen other threads where people report similar but perhaps not quite the same issue I am having with my GT-N8010. For context, I installed 4.4.2 a while ago (February?). This was one of the Omni nightlies, omni-4.4.2-20140210. In preparation for this I had installed twrp-2.6.3.1-n8000. All was well and I much enjoyed kitkat until a few weeks came back from a trip and noticed the device had run out of juice. Connected it to the charger and then...
Symptoms:
* Seems to be stuck displaying the Samsung logo
* Download mode works
* When trying to enter recovery (Power+VOL_UP) it briefly shows the Team Win screen logo and then just reboots
Things I've tried:
* Reinstall twrp, using Odin and download mode; Odin succeeds, the device reboots, same symptoms as before
* Install some other recovery (HighOnAndroidv1CWMRecoveryGTN8000), same result; it is as though NOTHING gets flashed???
* Install stock (4.0.4 or 4.1.2, I don't remember) Samsung ROM; Odin succeeds (it takes a few minutes), device reboots but HECK I'm going insane NOTHING has changed, symptoms as before
Please please can one of you ninja dudes help me out as this is such a precious tablet and hopefully not just a brick now .
Among the things I haven't tried, but heard can do wonders, is to re-partition. So if you happen to have a PIT file from your N8010 then would you mind sharing it through a PM please.
Also am currently downloading the "official" 4.4.2 release for the N8000. I've heard this is NOT for the N8010 but as a last resort, I might flash it??
Many thanks in advance for all the help!

There is a n8010 release of 4.4.2 for your Device. but Do NOT Flash the n8000 rom on it..
I think you should odin the 8010 rom from Sam mobile and you will be ok . If not browse the forum and find a pit file for that device.. also some have reported Issues flashing with latest odin. try i think verson 2.9 ?

Thanks, have just flashed the 8010 4.4.2 stock fw. Symptoms remain. I'd be very grateful for a PIT file as I've waded through the other threads and not too sure about the links to PIT files there. PM, anyone, please please .

I've got the N8010 PIT file from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363703
Sadly, this didn't change a thing. I'm still stuck at the Samsung logo, and still cannot enter recovery mode which still briefly shows the TeamWin logo and then reboots.
This N8010 is just over a year old. Bought in Germany, I wonder whether Samsung would repair under warranty. I guess they won't as it's been fiddled with. I've heard about JTAG repairs but something tells me this isn't going to help as I have a feeling that I just can't flash the darn thing. Eeek, faulty flash memory??

Sadly not. Others have reported that having gone with one of the Omni 4.4.2 builds they cannot get the official 4.4.2 release from Samsung installed, at least not with desktop Odin. They do succeed with mobile Odin but yeah, that's not an option here as I don't get past the Samsung logo and no recovery. This is really frustrating.....

Err well I ended up bringing the tablet to a Samsung service store where it was repaired under warranty, free of charge. Dunno what they did to it but it works and has the latest 4.4.2 firmware on it. Glad I have it back.

I have exactly same problem with N8005!... Can't reinstall twrp or any other recovery with Odin. ( "failed")... Can't enter twrp... Can't boot... I guess my tablet decided to suicide.

Need help. Stock S7 hangs on Samungs boot logo. Tried recovery and Odin both fail

I have hear a S7 wich hangs on white samsung boot logo.
The device is stock, no root and no custom rom.
The problems started on a failed update, it started to hang during use.
I made a backup and then tried to reset it, sadly i came no further then this boot logo after it crashed again.
I decided to enter recovery mode, when entering recovery each time i get a blue install screen of an update and each times it fails with an error.
Then i did a wipe cache and rebooted, same result, it stops at boot logo
Then i did a wipe/format factory reset (from recovery) and reboot, here also it hangs on samsung logo
Also it reports the following:
fail to open recovery cause no such file or directory
I even let the phone boot for 8 hours on the logo, it gets really hot but it does not go pass the samsung boot logo
When booting and the phone is connected by USB to my laptop i get messages that android rom is prepared and 1 later it is installed, but that is it, no booting etc.
I then entered download mode and used ODIN, downloaded the latest stock rom and try to flash it.
But here also i get each try a FAILED on the boot, even when i do no enter BL i get a FAILED, so only AP it fails also.
I tried now about 5 different stock rom versions and they all fail.
Have really no idea how to fix this, as mentioned the phone is fully stock, so stock bootloader, stock rom etc.
Anyone any idea how to get this phone up and running again?

Living in The Netherlands
The phone is free, not network limited but was last used on T-Mobile
I am not 100% sure, i believe Android 8
i tried: DNL-G930FXXU3ESA3-20190131134911 and EUR-G930FXXS4ESAE-20190218105256 and DNL-G930FXXU2DRC1-20180402094302 and BTU-G930FXXU1DPLT-20170117160813 and G930FXXU1DQAN_G930FFTM1DQAD_FTM

Your trying to flash old versions of the firmware, once the boot loader is updated you can't go back.
This is the latest version of T Mobile for the Netherlands (TNL), it's always best to try the firmware you were on first [url]https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930F/TNL/download/G930FXXU3ESA3/255865/[/URL]
If that doesn't work this is the latest version of Unbranded BTU [url]https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930F/BTU/download/G930FXXS4ESAE/257466/[/URL]
Also use Odin 13. Put all files in correct slots and use CSC not HOME_CSC

As far as i could see these are all android 8 and 1 android 7 firmwares, so they are not that old.
Believe the latest one is from January this year, i know the last time the phone was updated was last October, after that all updates failed to install OTA
The link you gave me is exactly the same version i used only without the branding, so i already used the latest one.
I tried to be sure the download from the link you given but with those download speeds (15kb) it is almost impossible to download these firmware's, i am not gonna take a subscription to for 1 time fast downloading and also i do not want to risk that i paid for a fast download it fails again....
So if someone has a download link which i can use and try an other firmware please feel free to share it.
BTW i used the last Odin3-v3.13.1 version, i cannot find a newer one.

Ok well you can listen to me or not.
None of the firmwares you are using are for your device, PHN is Netherlands and the BTU you are using BTU-G930FXXU1DPLT is on a U1 boot loader, BTU is now on S4 which is 3 versions above U1.
The reason you only download from Sammobile or updato.com is because the firmware is correct, reliable and not full of virus/spyware. You can also download direct from Samsung severs with SamFirm Tool.
