Phone started boot looping on stock firmware late last year. My wife bought another phone and I haven't been able to get to it till now. Warrantee void due to tiny crack. Wipe cache and factory reset did not work.
I tried loading stock rom upgrade to 5.1.1 using Odin3 This was successful. Still boot loop. Shows Samsung Galaxy S6... turns black for a second then shows Samsung Galaxy S6... in a loop. I guess it is a hardware issue? Anything else I can try?
Of note.. everytime I boot into recovery it says "installing system update..." Then. "no command". Then it goes into recovery.

Try this:
1. Boot to recovery.
2. Do a factory reset.
3. Reboot to Download mode from recovery mode.
4. Reflash newest stock rom.
5. Let it auto reboot and see if it still boot loops.
Or try this:
After step 3 reflash stock rom with pit file.
If that doesn't work then I have no idea.
You can also try flashing TWRP and wiping everything (system,data,internal,cache,art) and then flashing a new rom.
Oh and my friend two days ago dropped her phone on the concrete, and her phone started boot looping. She couldn't even get to recovery or anything. She dropped her phone again (her idea, don't try this). And it booted to android without any problems!
Seems like something was shorting the motherboard (?).
Good Luck.
I did as you said above twice already. (without pit) I will try TWRP next. Would flashing a new kernel be helpful?
-Mike
TWRP keeps failing with ODIN. Will it not work with 5.1.1? Or am I missing something. I'm using the AP button, is that right?
Thanks!
what was the stock firmware you flashing, 5.1.1 or have you flashed 6.0.1 already ?

I'm really in the wrong section. I have an ATT phone. There is no 6.0.1 yet for those. I think my phone is not recoverable.

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
Thank u for the post my phone is alive again thank u alot i was trying to install twrp after i had cwm recovery and i wasnt able to install it so it soft bricked my phone but i used ur steps and it all worked out thanks :victory:
I wanted to update my firmware since my phone has been giving me problems lately. The phone is a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 (SCH‑I535) with the standard rom. I tried to flash it back using ODIN and the stock firmware but it keeps hanging at the Verizon logo screen. Not sure if it's an issue but I didn't reset my flash counter to 0 before trying to go back to stock. I can still get into recovery and use ODIN so what should I do?
What recovery do you have? If you have twrp or cwm you can clear the cache and erase everything only if you have a back up. This should fix it

No problem
I tried rooting my note 5 sprint but got stuck in a bootloop but was able to flash the marshmalllow stock rom back on the phone. I am stuck in a bootloop again except this time odin is not responding to the stock rom. I tried odin 3.10 and 3.09 with the same result. I tried different usb ports and nothing. I can't even get the file for the stock rom to show up in the AP box. Does anyone know how to fix this? Also, can I flash lollipop back on to the phone instead of marshmallow? Thanks.

So you are able to boot back into download mode? How about boot to recovery?
I have the same problem. I have a sprint galaxy note 5 with android 6.0.1 installed. While trying to perform a root using twrp, I completely wiped everything out. Is there any way I can go back to the stock rom from here? I can still use odin and and I have finally mananged to put the stock recovery back on by using either "CF-Auto-Root-nobleltespr-nobleltespr-smn920p" md5 file or "N920PVPU1AOGD_N920PSPT1AOGD_SPR----STOCK+TARBALL" md5 file. But from here Im at a dead end. I tried to do a "wipe data/factory reset" from the factory recovery but receive an error msg stating "dm-verity verification failed." Please help. Thanks
Also it appears when I press and hold only the power button, it takes me to the factory recovery screen.

I have already tried wipping cache and dalvik cache, I even wiped system and data and installed the ROM again but the phone's still stuck in a bootloop.
Now I'm about to flash through Odin back to stock and see if the phone turns on.
Hm... While I was downloading the stock firmware to flash the phone, I thought of checking the data folder inside the TWRP recovery, And turns out The data is still there, It never got wiped, that's why the phone is stuck in a bootloop, Now what could be preventing the data from getting wipped? I don't get any errors when I wipe the data partition, And this is also strange because usually you get a bootloop when you flash some kind of zip file through the recovery (mods or something like that), but I was just using the browser to download a file , And phone suddenly shutdown and got stuck in a bootloop, Could someone pls help me figure out what's causing the problem

That ROM is in BETA mode, which means it could be lost of things. Your question should be asked on the LOS 17 thread itself but when a ROM is in BETA mode it's very difficult to tell what the problem is. Ask the developer @ivanmeler he might be kind enough to answer you.

Hi! Can you describe the steps that you tried to revert back to stock? Did you use the repair firmware (5 files) or one file firmware?

Sorry but I don't have enough knowledge to help with kernels, Now from what I understand is that you tried flashing stock ROM and your phone got stuck in a bootloop, Right? And just to confirm could you mention the model of your s7?

Flashing stock rom will restore stock kernal. Firmware must be correct for device and region.
Bootloop after Odin Flash.
1. After flash boot into stock recovery
2. How to>>> In this sequence hold volume down+home+power. As soon as phone goes off move finger to volume up while still holding home and power. It may take several attempts as you have to time it just right when the screen goes black.
3. Once in stock recovery choose wipe data/ factory reset. Then choose reboot device
4. Can take 5-10 minutes on first boot. Updating and erasing screens are normal during this process as well as rebooting. Just leave it finish.
If this does not work Reflash stock with Odin but this time uncheck "auto reboot" in Odin options before you start.
Once Flash finish, disconnect from pc and follow 1-4 as above.
Kernel Problem
Pls help as I figured out that all the kernels after v3.18.140.5 are not booting on my phone. Can someone help me with this.
Model No: SM-G930FD
Device: Galaxy S7 Flat
BL: 8 (Latest)
File System: ext4
I have already restored stock many times and formatted my device many times. I used firmware from samfw to go to stock.
That is why no Aosp was booting on my phone
Pls Help
Hello, some days ago i found a Samsung Galaxy Ace Style (SM-G310HN/heatnfc3g) and i decided to mod it, i installed TWRP via Odin and all was ok, but when i tried to install CyanogenMod 12.1 it didn't work. Since it didn't work, i decided to flash stock ROM. It worked once, but now it doesn't work anymore. I suspect it's the PIT file, because when i reflashed stock ROM another time with a PIT file now it doesn't work anymore, let me try to explain:
When i try to flash anything (Stock ROM or recovery, custom or stock), it... doesn't, Odin says it flashed but when i reboot to recovery or reboot to stock, it stays at the Samsung logo or doesn't flash the recovery, even if it says that it flashed. What should i do? Is my phone bricked? How can i unbrick it if it's bricked?

Have you tried booting into stock recovery and selecting the factory reset option and the wipe cache partition option? It is sometimes necessary after flashing via Odin, I've had to do it a few times to solve a bootloop.

Well the problem is... i cant reboot into stock recovery. Its stuck in twrp, and it's not really a "bootloop", it stays stuck at the Samsung logo. I tried to wipe cache and dalvik on Twrp but nothing.
I cant even flash the stock recovery since as i said in the original post, if i try to flash EVERYTHING Odin says it flashed but on the phone nothing happened.
