TLDR;
Trying to install custom recovery with odin auto-reboot checked off so stock doesnt replace odin says PASS I disconnect the phone but in downloading mode the blue bar is full and the phone doesn't want to shut down. I remove the battery and try to boot into custom philz-recovery it gets stuck in samsung logo. But functions perfectly on normal boot. I reset the whole phone and try the cf-auto-root method and the phone gets stuck in samsung logo now not even booting up normally. So i reset the whole phone again with odin and firmware from sammobile now sitting with a stock android and knox warranty ticked without having a root.
(Sorry for the long post I've tried to provide as much info as I can) So I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 exact model number SM-G900H. And I'm trying to root it. I go into download mode than I launch Odin and check off Auto-Reboot so it won't boot up and the stock recovery replaces the custom I'm trying to install, I connect the phone it says its connected than I select AP and than choose philz-recovery (latest version) and start it. So the Odin finishes its work says "PASS" in green letters. I disconnect the phone but on S5 the blue bar is full and it does not want to shut down (if the auto-reboot is checked it just reboots and it doesn't even want to boot into stock recovery just stuck on samsung logo) I've waited a good hour and still nothing. So I pull out the battery for it to shut down and than I straight try to boot into recovery and it just gets stuck on samsung logo and the blue letters don't even show up. Before rooting the recovery worked and I factory resetted the device before so samsungs knox does't interrupt with its not-being-able-to-boot-into-recovery-if-you-dont-know-the-password-to-the-samsung-account. And I'm now sitting here now with knox warranty ticked and not even rooted BUT I CAN STILL USE THE PHONE PERFECTLY WITHOUT TRYING TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY JUST BOOTS UP NORMALLY. So what I do than is reset the phones firmware with Odin from sammobile. Ok stock android. Than I try the Cf-auto root method with Odin. No luck phone just doesn't even boot up. So I reset the phone again same method. Ok stock android again. Sitting here reading through google for 8 hours 5 of thise spent on xda. STILL NO LUCK. So I hope someone can resolve the issue. I can't provide any pictures as I just rage closed my computer and didn't take pics. And if I install cynogenmod with heimdall is it going to be rooted (i know you don't need a root to do that) and can someone provide a guide to that heimdall cynogenmod install method?

I have a little problem and could use some help. I was running superclean 2.9.2 and attempted to switch over to the community rom. Before flashing the rom I downloaded the stock CI500_VZW_DL09_ECLAIR.tar.md5 file and attempted to load that with Odin(yes i chose pda). I have used Odin multiple times in the past w/out issues. Well this time my screen went blank on the Odin was stuck on param.lfs. When i disconnected my phone it now boots to the screen with a phone, exclamation point and a computer. I closed Odin restarted my computer and tried again with the same result. I can still access the download mode and CWM. When I try to complete a nandroid restore the phone goes through the whole process and then when I click to reboot I get the same screen as above. My next step was to download DI01package3.tar.md5. I tried pushing this with Odin and it got stuck on sbl.bin. Please help me get my phone back.
Hi,
Not sure why this happened, but while charging my tablet (galaxy note 10.1 GT-N8013 2013 edition) the tablet flashed and rebooted itself without user interaction. Upon reboot it froze on the samsung splash screen, so i pressed and held in the power button until the device restarted. When it did restart it no longer showed the splash screen, just squiggly lines thru the screen and it sits there unresponsive. I can boot the device into download (odin) mode, it shows that there is no custom binary download, shows the current binary is samsung official, but it says system status is custom, which is odd because i have never attempted to flash a custom rom nor have i tried to root this device.
i proceeded to install odin on my laptop and downloaded the factory binary from sammobile. I loaded everything up (as per the directions) but it fails, says there is no PIT partition. Im not sure where to go from here, i contacted samsung, but they are useless, says they cant help because the device is out of warranty. Any help would be greatly appreciated , thanx in advance.
I had my phone just sitting on a wireless charger this morning and had been there for about 15-30 minutes. I noticed it was rebooting, odd I thought? I took it off and then realized it was going into a boot loop. I gave it a soft reset and then it would turn on and stay on for about 10 seconds before boot looping again. I again gave it a soft reset after a couple loops and now it seems to totally dead, as the title implies.
No button combination has worked and I've held them all down for well over 30 seconds each. I've tried plugging it into my PC and haven't gotten any response that way. The blue LED is on so I know it's not dead...I think? To make matters worse, I bought this phone off Craigslist about 5 months ago and it's the Exynos version so I definitely can't get any kind of warranty on it. I'm hoping someone has had this problem and can help or just has some advice. Thanks everyone.
EDIT: To keep this updated, I have been able to get into Odin Mode and have tried to flash stock firmware. Odin says everything went fine but the phone hangs up at the Samsung Galaxy S7 logo. I'm unable to boot into recovery mode and I've even tried to reinstall TWRP with Odin and that has not worked.
Seen the LED only problem before, waiting for the battery to drain and the phone to turn off seems to be the only known cure atm
Once it does, connect the charger for 15 mins, then boot directly into recovery and clear caches to try fix the bootloop, possible it may need factory resetting / clean flash of stock ROM
Using the MicroUSB > USB white adapter, you may be able to connect a power hungry USB peripheral to the phone to drain the battery faster, I use a USB desktop fan, but some people report it not working when it is stuck in this LED loop and have just had to wait it out
Thanks for that advice, I'll let it drain over night. However, I have been able to get it to boot into Odin Mode and Odin v.3 recognized it. I flashed the stock firmware but upon rebooting nothing happened and now it gets stuck at the Samsung logo screen. I can still get it back into Odin mode, which I believe will be the fastest way to kill the battery, but I find it odd that I can get into that but not recovery? I am rooted and have TWRP installed, if that matters at all.
If you can get into Download (ODIN) mode, then letting the battery drain probably won't help, that only seems to help when the phone is completely stuck with nothing but the LED working
Make sure you flash CSC (Not HOME_CSC) along with the other 3 sections of the ROM, using ODIN 3.12.3, that should factory reset the phone after the flash
If you successfully flashed stock with ODIN already, you are no longer rooted and do not have TWRP installed, flashing stock with ODIN replaces all that with stock
I updated Odin and once again tried to flash the 4 parts, making sure I used the right CSC file, but I'm still getting hung up at the Samsung Galaxy S7 logo. Do you have a suggestion as to which region's firmware I should use? I have been trying the Australia one from SamMobile's site.
EDIT: And to clarify, I have the G930FD(the duos one).

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Any region would work, and the F firmware works for the FD too
My phone began lagging last night so I gave it a restart. The shut-down animations were normal but when the phone turned back on, it gave me the dreaded FRP LOCK curse. I went through many forums and videos and I was able to take the lock off via FRP Hijacker, but now I am stuck at the download mode. If I try booting the phone on with the stock recovery, the Samsung Note5 splash screen stays indefinetly (soft brick). If I try booting the phone with a custom recovery, I get a message in purple text saying "Recovery image signature check fail. Reboot to avoid Warranty bit set" and it will keep bootlooping. Currently, I am not sure how to continue if I cannot get to the recovery mode and flash a ROM. So basically, I am stuck at not being able to flash a rom, nor being able to get into recovery mode successfully without a brick or bootloop. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Edit 1: USB Debugging is turned on as well as OEM Unlock
you need to use odin and downgrade to a stock 6.0 tar file..or use a conversion tar file taking you from n920p to n920f..or n920c ...ill upload the files everyone needs after work today...
So im trying to fix a freinds phone. He said it randomly shut off and started bootlooping on the samsung screen. So I flashed the same firmware using odin. It succeded restarted and still does the same exact thing?
No matter what I do I cannot get this damn phone to boot up. After holding vol down and power to soft reset it goes to a screen with a triangle and says installing update then to no command. If i soft reset then hold vol down and home with power download mode will come up. I cant get this phone to go into recovery the combination just brings me to the triangle screen. Maintenance mode wont even come up the triangle screen shows instead. I have knowledge of odin and flashing. Ive been flashing since the motorola cliq lol But this is making me scratch my head...Any ideas?
I want to add that when it freezes at the samsung logo the logo corrupts and gets black lines through it then restarts several seconds after?
Are you flashing all 4 firmware files with Odin or just AP?
Of course I am. I even went ahead and flashed another "non carrier" firmware to see if it made a difference and no luck.
BL
AP
CP
Home_CSC, I flashed the CSC when flashing a different firmware.
By the books and nothing seems to get this phone booting.
Have you tried just normal CSC? Home_CSC keeps data, it's basically acts as an in place upgrade rather than a fresh image.
If you're having issues you'll want a full clean wipe which means using CSC.
When trying a new firmware I flashed the "CSC" because it contains the pit file. So yes I have and that didn't work either.
The phone gets to download mode which tells me its not a brick. Still says "samsung official". FRP lock is off.
And just waiting it out doesn't work? Flashing from a custom Nougat ROM to stock Oreo was like 10+ minutes on the Samsung logo for me.
No as I said in op it always freezes at the Samsung logo over and over and over again.
My best guess is the system partition is corrupt and is un-repairable or the hardware was defect from the factory...but the phone has been In use for 2 years flawlessly...besides that it still boots up Odin(download) mode....so... Does anyone have any idea wtf is going on with this phone? Because anything I do just won't boot it normally. I can't root it and try a custom rom because "OEM unlock" isn't enabled. So WTF?
Please does anyone have any idea what is going on here?
I had some luck with getting it to the bootloader by using odin to flash the corresponding BL file. Then I flashed a combination file obtained from hardreset. But I am still stuck bypassing the FRP lock myself. Either I flash stock rom or firmware with ADB. It always get an error cllose to the end. Or the flash finished and the warning message is still there and I couldn't get pass the google authorisation stage.
