I rooted my device. Everything's all good.
I flashed a rom (xposed framework) using Flashify.
My phone started going crazy after the reboot.
Now I'm stuck in the samsung logo screen.
I need help.
I dont have TWRP Recovery or anything else. My recovery is still the Android Recovery.
I have tried wipe cache and wipe/factory reset. Nothing works after rebooting.
My option right now is downloading a stock ROM and installing it via Odin.
Problem is, I don't know if my phone is region locked and I cannot find my region/country stock ROM.
So I'm going to assume any of them will work as long as it has the same android and build version as my phone.
I cannot access my phone.
Only able to go into recovery and download mode. A normal boot will just stay stuck on the samsung logo screen for hours.
Any help is appreciated. I am very new to this, please help me.
Which device?

Tried looking everywhere, but couldn't really find anything. Any help is appreciated!
Alright some background info
I rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader successfully. I wanted to do more, so I flashed TWRP onto my phone using JRummy's ROM Installer. I followed all the steps and successfully booted into TWRP recovery. I created a Nandroid backup and when I tried rebooting my phone it gets stuck on the 4G LTE boot animation.
I then tried wiping the cache etc. and restoring the backup I had just created. To no avail, the phone kept getting stuck on the boot animation. I've tried restoring the backup multiple times with no success.
On my last attempt I checked another box on the TWRP restore page, I think it was the VG5 verification or something. Halfway through what I though was going to be a successful restore, my phone reset and got stuck in the boot animation again. Now when I boot into recovery it's the stock recovery, not the custom TWRP as before. Tried clearing everything/factory reset and it still stuck on boot animation.
As a college student I'd like to get this figured out as soon as possible (hopefully before midweek, Friday at latest). If I can figure this out with your help I'll be very grateful.
If I can't find any other way, I'm willing to flash stock back using ODIN and seeing how that turns out. Also my home button is a little sticky so I doubt the Verizon worker would be able to boot into recovery or download mode.
Any suggestions?
For those of you TL;DR
1) Rooted phone / unlocked bootloader
2) Flashed custom TWRP recovery onto phone
3) Created a Nandroid backup from recovery
4) Tried rebooting and gets stuck on 4G LTE boot animation screen
5)Wiped cache etc. and retried multiple times. Doesn't work
EDIT: I flashed stock through ODIN and everything seems to be in order. I'll be trying to root and recover everything through TWRP again and if it doesn't work oh well. My end goal is to have a custom ROM
Maybe this will help you
Okay for your problem, if you can go to Download Mode and your recovery back to its stock form, your last option will be flashing it through Odin. There are several method and guides How to Flash via Odin. I will link to you all the guide and try it so your phone will be back to normal. Choose only 1 method
1.) [HOW-TO] Unbrick your soft bricked Galaxy S III (+ bootloader brick)
2.) Verizon Offcial VRBMB1 Odin Files, VRBMF1 Odin Files, and VRBMF1 Update Files
Must read first the guide and download all the necessary.
If your phone gets revived, you can try this method and choose TWRP recovery and update the recovery.

I've got everything back in order now. I'll try installing AOKP or something
Your Welcome
That's good to hear
Phone: LG Spectrum
ROM: Cyanogen 10.1 3 or something
CWM: 6.0.4.7
I was in the process of manually installing CWM Touch via Rashr Flash Tool to replace an old 6.0.1.1 non-touch version i had on it before, and when I successfully got it installed, the app asked if I wanted to reboot into recovery. So I pressed yes, and it did.
Unfortunately, it never seemed to remove it afterwards because after every single reboot, it kept going back to recovery, not loading the android OS.
I've tried the following with no success:
Clearing data factory reset
Clearing cache
Clearing Dalvik cache
Full restore to V6 stock
Full restore to Cyanogen (I made a backup when I first got to CWM Touch)
This is the current behavior of my phone:
When powered on, it will display the LG logo, then it will flicker to black and then fade in the LG logo again, 5 seconds later recovery boots. If phone was off and you insert USB cable to charge, the LG logo appears, but the battery mode sort of screen never comes after. Its just stays at the LG logo, and never turns off the display.
It will keep rebooting to recovery no matter if I even tell the recovery to reboot to bootloader.
I don't know exactly how the bootup structure is for androids but the only thing I can think of that may be the issue is the recovery itself if it wasn't the app that caused this. It just doesn't make sense that after a full restore, it would still have an issue, other than the recovery itself, UNLESS there is some secret boot instruction file that's stuck with a "Reboot_to_Recovery = 1" parameter.
Since this thing is stuck in a recovery boot, how would I be able to manually, without OS access, reflash another version of CWM on the device? Or if there's another possible way to fix this, please help me.
Maybe the ROM hasn't flashed on your phone properly .try again with a clean flash. may help
HiT Thank$ If HelPed
I believe this is independent of the ROM. I had noticed in preparing to flash a new ROM that instead of restarting to the OS, it restarted to the recovery. I didn't take much note of this, but it was clear that this problem began when I flashed the new recovery. Also, the fact that I had used 2 seperate, very different restores (full restores) with no success means that it couldn't have been the ROM.
My only probably clue right now is that the recovery is to blame (which is weird since CWM notes 6.0.4.7 as compatible with LG Spectrum. I had 6.0.1.1 before with no issue). I have no idea how to change this recovery however, given that I can't even boot the OS at all, and there doesn't seem to be a "flash recovery' option in recovery (which is kinda annoying).
I was recently flashing a rom on my rooted Verizon S5 via Safestrap on one ROM slot. I flashed the rom then downloaded the 0A8 kernel. Upon bootup, the phone was stuck on a boot loop, but I can get into recovery and download mode. I have already tried to factory reset the phone via recovery and I have also tried to put on the stock kernel again. Both were unable to resolve the issue. I have a fulll nandroid backup so wiping anything would not be an issue, but is there any way to solve this problem?
Also, when the phone boots up, it stays on the S5 boot screen and you will hear the boot sound but it will remain at that screen for an infinite amount of time. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Wiped everything and have no back ups anymore. Cant figure out how to install a rom. TWRP and Download mode still work but No matter what I flash I get stuck at samsung loading screen. Halp?!
Trying to get Tekxodus installed on my N920T which currently has nothing on it.
Still can not figure out what Im doing wrong. I wiped internal storage which I know I shouldnt have but when I flash Tekxodus I get caught in a bootloop until the phone powers off to charge. Even flashing skyhigh kernal after the rom does nothing. Still boot looping.
Use download mode to Odin back to stock. Then re-send twrp. Let it boot first. Then go back to twrp and flash your rom
I was able to restore a stock rom, install twrp successfully but this rom (teksodus) does not boot no matter how I flash it. Stuck at samsung screen again but this time on a custom samsung load screen. If I flash a new kernal I get stuck at the black samsung screen. Haha its been too long since Ive done this.
Got it all sorted, thanks!
Hello people,
I just tried flashing TWRP to my J7 Prime phone. Odin flash was successful and I could boot into recovery. I followed through normal procedure(data format and no-verity-opt-encrypt flashed). I did not flash any other zips and when i tried to boot back into System my phone didn't get through the Galaxy Prime logo. It wouldn't even show the boot animation. Before this happened, I did root my phone and everything was fine, I accidentally deleted google play once and also wanted to flash stock firmware so I did. After I flashed the stock firmware, when I wanted to root it again it would work after flashing magisk and booting into the system but after some time passes the apps one by one would begin to freeze and at last no app would even load. When i try to reboot at this point, the phone wouldn't boot back into the system anymore. It would get past the Samsung logo but the boot animation wouldn't even play as i was stuck in a black screen. I tried to restore with TWRP then, (Only restoring Boot, System and Data but I didn't wipe anything on the system before restoring. I think that this might be the issue but I just recently got into rooting.) but when i rebooted to use my phone it wouldn't get past the Samsung logo. The Samsung J7 Prime logo would show up, then 1-2 seconds pass and then reboot. This was a loop.
I was able to reflash stock firmware and get it to work normally. Since I can't risk bricking the phone as I can't get a new one after this experience I didn't flash anything again. Because after i restored with TWRP back then and now my phone bricking just because of a TWRP flash I think if I just give it some more tries (even with difference in procedure) it might just get hard bricked. I think flashing firmware so often might brick it. I really don't know but I can't risk bricking this phone.
The phone right now is OK. I just want to learn why this might happen, what would cause this and how to fix this. I will not flash anything because again I can't risk getting this phone bricked.
Just getting some information for me is enough as I am also curious about this problem,
Thank you.
