done that... it gets stuck on the Samsung boot screen when it tries to boot into android.
try another computer, then when in dl mode use odin to either flash cwm/twrp or flash stock firmware.
you must have a computer configured w/drivers or you wont be able to do anything

If you can't get into custom recovery or can't reset you will need Odin. Don't panic. If you can boot into download mode your phone is not broken. Just find a PC where you can install drivers.

I have a nexus 5 and when the phone starts to boot it gets to the google image and then shuts off. I have flashed nexus images from google using flash_all.bat. I have manually flashed using fastboot. I've re flashed it like 20 times. One time I actually got it to boot but when I restarted it did the same thing. Is there anytihng I can try?

So I used my galaxy note edge SM-N915F for 6 months with no problem, but I did the Marshmallow 6.0.1 update and now it doesn't work. As I said in the title when I try to start it reboots over and over again.
Any suggestions?? It opens only downloading mode and I flashed a rom(official russian Marshmallow 6.0.1 rom) with Odin and it didn't work.
Please help me! Thanks in advanced!

When using the correct button combination are you able to enter recovery or does it continue to bootloop? Power, Home and Volume Up is used to enter recovery. When you attempted to flash the stock firmware through Odin, where did you download the stock firmware from?

Yes, it continue to bootloop even when I try to open in recovery mode. I succesfully entered recovery mode only one time and was able to full wipe, full cache the phone. This is after the flashing. I flashed the stock firmware a week ago and I actually don't remember where I downloaded it from. Thanks for your interest.

Most firmwares are available from sammobile.com. Which version of Odin are you using? Also, when you performed the flash through Odin, did Odin show the flash to be successful on the progress window? Was your Note Edge rooted or did you have a custom recovery installed before the bootloop issue started?

I used Odin3. Yes, Odin showed me the flash to be successful. My Edge didn't rooted before and I didn't have a custom recovery. I had an official software. I actually want to add an screenshot but XDA doesn't let me.

Have you tried a different version of Odin to perform the flash? I have 3.07 and 3.10 and sometimes one version will work perfectly and the other will show a successful flash but the device will still bootloop. Check which version you have and then download a different one to test with. That may be your issue.
Also, can you enter recovery at all anymore? If you try to enter recovery several times in a row during the bootloop process you may be able to access it after a few attempts. If you can enter recovery, wipe data/factory reset for me. Then attempt to boot. If it loops again, download the official firmware from sammobile.com and flash it with your original version of Odin. If it still loops, then flash it again with the different version of Odin. Lemme know how it goes. I'll do what I can to help.

I tried different Odin versions but it didn't work. I can flash rom succesfully but after the flashing it doesn't open in recovery mode. It bootloops. Once, it opened in recovery mode and I did wipe data/factory reset after first flashing and it didn't work. Now, it still doesn't open anyway except Downloading Mode.

Are you flashing the exact same ROM version you were using before this problem started? We're you using 5.1.1 before you accepted the MM OTA?

I used 5.1.1 to before I accepted the MM OTA and I didn't have any p roblem with 5.1.1. I tried to flash different type of 6.0.1 after the problem. Just, problem started with the MM OTA. I will try to flash 5.1.1. So, I guess I need to enter recovery to wipe data/factory reset before flashing 5.1.1 but I can not because it still bootloop. How can I do wipe data/factory reset?
Edit1: And I readed somewhere, they said that it is about the kernel? Is it possible?
Edit2: A few minutes ago, I succeeded to enter recovery mode, I did factory reset and phone still bootloop. It doesn't open. Now, I am downloading the 5.1.1. I will try to flash 5.1.1.
Edit3: I tried a lot of times but it is still same. I flashed the 5.1.1 with different versions of Odin. I successful with flashed it but phone wants to enter in recovery mode after flashing and it bootloops. It is trying to enter recovery mode all time but it doesn't work. Sometimes, on charge, it close to enter the recovery mode. I said in edit2 I succeeded to enter recovery mode, but I didn't say that it was on charge because I discover this now. So, I don't know what I have to do, I am waiting for your suggestions.

Let's see if we can get your Note Edge into safe mode without bootlooping. Use these steps:
Turn on safe mode
Turn the device off.
Press and hold the Power and Volume down key.
Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
Safe mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Release the Volume down key when you see Safe Mode.
I have read a few forums and notes about booting into safe mode can stop the bootloop. Once it's successfully booted into safe mode we can attempt to boot normally. Give it a shot and I'll keep researching. Good luck.

I tried a lot of times but it didn't work. I tried on charge, without charge, with different cables but still bootloop. It is just like a joke.
I tried with Kies but Kies didn't see my edge. It didn't connect. On the Kies window, it said "connecting..." so I waited about 2 hours and it didn't connect. Then, I tried to emergency firmware recovery, it didn't see my edge again.
Download Samsung Smart Switch and see if it recognizes your device.

Do you have your friends device with you and a PC to use? Was your friend trying to root the device or install a custom recovery or a custom ROM when this happened?
Or, did your friend accept the OTA for 6.0.1 MM and then ended up in a bootloop after installing the OTA?

What version of Odin are you using to flash the factory firmware? Try to flash the firmware with a different version of Odin.
Also, you said the flash was unsuccessful using Odin. Was there an error message in Odin at the bottom left corner of the screen? If so, what was the error? I have had several flashes fail using one version of Odin but pass with a different version.
Also, what version of Android was your friends device using before you tried to flash the 6.0.1 firmware? If the device was running 5.1.1, have you tried to flash a 5.1.1 firmware with Odin?

I have used Odin version 1.85 then tried with Odin v3.11.1 , the flash succeeded no errors but the phone stayed as is .. Actually, he doesn't know the android version of his phone before it bricked. Are u suggesting that I should try to flash a 5.1.1?

Search for Odin 3.07 and 3.10. I use both of these versions. When all else fails for me I use 3.07 and it always seems to work for me. Also, I'm betting it was running 5.1.1 because 6.0.1 hasn't been out that long for the Saudi Arabian Note Edge. I would flash the 5.1.1 stock firmware using Odin 3.07 and see if it will allow you to boot normally. Let me know how it goes. Good luck.

Dammit man. Ill keep looking through my Samsung stuff and see what I can find. I sent my cousin an email yesterday who works for Samsung in their Tier 3 Technical Support/Case Management Group and asked her for some help. I'm really curious as to what she has to say on the subject. When it comes to a Samsung Galaxy or Note device she is a PRO. When I run into an issue with any of my Samsung devices that I can't fix, I call or email her. Keep working on it and we will find a solution.
My tablet suddenly froze while I was using it, and when I rebooted, it was stuck on the Samsung logo.
I tried to boot into recovery, but every time I did, it would show a black screen (when you used the touch screen it would vibrate, nothing else).
I tried to reflash the recovery using Heimdall and Odin, but Heimdall had problems at Beginning session (it showed libusb error -7 whilst receiving packet when I used --verbose before it gave up and stopped), and Odin just got stuck at Initializing, I have tried leaving it off for a few hours, and I have tried disassembling the tablet, disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, and reassembling.
How do I fix this?
OS: CyanogenMod 13
Recovery: PhilZ v6.41.6
Model: N8000
I would appreciate it if I got a quick response, thanks in advance.

I don't know if it's either me that read your post wrong or you that read my post wrong, but yes, I have tried putting it into Download Mode to reflash the recovery, and it failed each time (the specific errors are in the OP).
No you did not mention download mode only recovery.
I would try flashing a stock rom via Odin first.You dobt mention that so it would always be first choice.

I thought it would be obvious, since I mentioned Odin and Heimdall there, and how would I be able to flash a stock ROM if it can't even flash the recovery, let alone print out a PIT file?

Hello,
Is it me, but after installing the latest N920-T T-mobile firmware N920TUVS4DQA2, I'm now unable to install TWRP via odin, using all the correct versions odin, twrp, USB, OEM all switched on, finger prints off. Odin process works no errors, phone reboots, try to get into recovery mode, then default recovery screens reappears, no TWRP. Thanks.
Using previous firmware and using the same software and procedures it all worked previously, what have I forgotten!!!!!
