Hi,
I have rooted a few devices, however this is the first time I have encountered a bootloop error.
Specifically I used Odin and ran CF Auto Root (kltemetropcs smg900t1) from Chainfires DL site
chainfire 405 CF-Root
Device is a Galaxy S5 G900T1 (metro pcs) running Lollipop.
Oden successfully completed all threads. Didn't show any errors, however the phone never finished its boot cycle,
it stops at the carrier logo screen.
I noticed that odin deletes any previous files so I tried a second time using the same CFroot, still the same outcome.
I was thinking of doing a factory reset after reading some other forums, or reinstalling factory ROMs though this is getting to the limit on my knowledge.
I'm unsure of what I should try next, or even where to ask.
Anyone able to help or know where I can ask?

Hi 8thvision
Thanks for using XDA Assist and I can assure you that you came to the right place :good:
As you, I'm a happy owner of a S5 and will try to guide you through this. Please excuse me but, as you didn't commented the what you already reviewed, I may be repetitive here.
The first resource you should access is Chainfire's main thread regarding the S5 (link below). All experienced user reports are in there and they may be helpful for your problem.

Hi and thanks for your help,
I am a newbie to this rooting thing, have done a lot of research. I previously posted in another forum and they directed me here. I have read many posts but still the answer eludes me.
I am upgrading my phone which has allowed me to experiment with my former phone: Samsung Note 2, SCH-1605, Android V 4.4.2 (Verizon) and started playing with rooting. I have used Odin 3.07 to attempt to root the phone, but it fails each time at the NAND Write function. There are a lot of threads on this and one suggestion is to use a higher version of Odin. I see 3.09 is available but the button options are different. Specifically, in 3.07, the button PDF is supposed to be used. There is no such button in 3.09. Fortunately, it reboots fine so I am not even soft-bricked on this phone. But I WOULD like to experiment with it.
Is Odin specific to each phone? And, is there a solution for this problem? I have no KIES running or even installed.
Any counsel would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Pradhan
Hey guys so recently I had rooted my i537 S4 active and have been researching and modifying here and there until i decided to get a custom ROM. I found WickedROM via this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491762 and considering it had worked on this person's i537 I decided to flash the ROM. After flashing I had become stuck in a bootloop and I can't get to anything besides DOWNLOAD MODE. Due to this problem I decided to run a stock firmware via Odin with this one_click http://rootzwiki.com/topic/44121-sgh-i537-i537ucuamf1-galaxy-s4-active/ this filled up until the bar was about 90% and then all of a sudden fails at <ID:0/003> system.img.ext4. I've tried other firmwares with no luck and have resorted to posting about this problem. please help and guide me in the right direction, i believe in you XDA!

Here is a thread about unbricking your device: [Restore to Defaults] ODIN for AT&T i537 (good for a soft brick!).
Hope that it works in your case.
If you have further questions about your device, please ask in the Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
BTW, have you followed the installation instructions ... especially "2. Create ROM slot in SafeStrap"?
You have to use SafeTrap recovery to flash a custom ROM into the ROM slot, as the bootloader is locked.
And consider the warning in post #2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46656279&postcount=2).
Best to ask in this thread or the Q&A forum I linked above.
Hello all i am posting this to get some help on a few issues i am having currently. I have a Galaxy S4 active running on straight talk, and i am trying to flash it back to 4.4.2 NE3 so that I can root it. The process i am using to flash it is with Jodin3. I proceed to set jodin up and press start and it just sits there doing nothing. i have tried this all day to no avail. I only run jodin because I only have a mac and my windows laptop has bit the dust and is no longer in operation. The whole thing that started this is that the 5.0 update has come available and the update fails to install after 29%. This did it after the last update but i managed to flash it to the current 4.4.2 NH3. what bothers me is that i flash over a stock non rooted rom and it is no letting me upgrade. So know i am at the point where i just want to be able to be rooted with current firmware, and also figure out why jodin is not working. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated

Hi all,
I decided to root my Exynos International Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900) using Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root, using the packaged Odin. When flashing, the progress bar gets stuck a quarter of the way on "cache.img". I wait until the process indicates FAIL in Odin and reboot, only to get a BSOD ("Firmware upgrade encountered an issue").
I've seen many people complain about this in CF's thread. I've tried changing cables, ports, even computers, Nothing. I've rooted a couple phones before and this is the first time I'm stuck to the point I need to create a thread... My main goal now would be getting my phone working again as I haven't made a backup :/ A factory reset would be out of the question...
Some people said it might be related to USB debugging. To be honest, I forgot if I left it ticked or not (I sometimes use it), and since it wasn't indicated on the guide I assumed it would be fine. I can't access the phone so I can't change that.
Any ideas ? Feel free to ask about any details I might have left out.
Thanks!
Hi there,
I see that for the moment isn't a proper way to root your device but you can follow this threads for more info:

Can't root N900 (4.2.2 KitKat)
Later edit: I See you already founded the right place for asking here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help/samsung-galaxy-note-3-sm-n900-rooting-t3112112
Good luck

Hi, so I am on a Galaxy S5 16gb running lollipop 5.0 through sprint. Im not too in this scene but Ive known enough to successfully root and unroot several other phones without.any problems. I successfully rooted my S5 using Cf auto root and everything was perfect until I tried flashing a .zip file for xposed installer through recovery. Ever since my phone wont go.past the samsung logo on start up. I am able to still access download and recovery mode. Every time on odin I try to flash the stock firmware (ive tried three.different ones) it ends up saying " nand write start fail" then "complete write operation failed". This is stressimg me out hardcore and im completely unsure of what I need to do. Much help needed.
