I want to restore my Galaxy S5 to the stock firmware, and had CyanogenMod 13 on it. When I did so, Odin was successful, but the S5 doesn't go past the Sprint logo when I turn on the phone. I can boot into recovery, though.
Odin twrp 3.0.2.1-klte. Then select wipe and check every box but external sd and usb. Bottom two. Backup your pics and stuff first! Next use the file manager to delete the android folder on /externalsd if you have microsd inserted. Then odin the stock tarball. What boitloader is on the phone ans what Samsung version tarball?

I was tryin to flash starbust but i did it wrong so when i went back to recover the rom that was previously on there i recovered back to a rom that was still on the sd card from my evo. Now i'm stuck on the "samsung galaxy s II" screen. I have access to CWM but my sd card is not visible for me to flash any other rom. What should i do?
Mount your sdcard in CWM, connect to your pc push, a new ROM to flash on there.
If thats not possible, go into download mode, open odin or heimdall, find a rom you want to flash and flash it.
Ok finally got it working. I had to put the stock kernel on it and flashed the pit as well..only thing, if I make a recovery file I can't find it in CWM. The "midnight rom" I flashed works well but there's a few fcs but that's probably just this rom.
I am having some serious troubles with upgrading my Galaxy Note 4 SM-910P (Sprint). All was well in rooting, un-rooting, etc... I have the original 4.4.4 and the new 5.0 backed up and now I can't use anything other than the firmware the original firmware package through Odin. The problem started when I installed the [ROM]ViSiON-X N4 SPR 5.0.1 [Android L 5.0][N910PVPU1BOB7-R1][03-11-15]. It installed fine but when ever I was not watching it a problem occurred such as getting locked out of ny ext SD, or just plain un-rooting itself. It finally came down to it just kicked my device into download mode and would not reboot. I did used chains Odin root method and installed TWRP, which I can still do but can not flash or restore from TWRP or CWM recovery. It will take the firmware package fine and download the 5.0 update but always gets stopped from any other upgrade at recovery be it stock or custom. I have even used Kies to try and upgrade a few time. It will upgrade from NK1 to NK2 but still will not upgrade anything else past recovery. Every time I reboot I lose my WIFI password. After every boot it takes a minute for any network to be able to reach the device. It is paused until I re enter my WiFi password then it will say that Android is done upgrading and there is a toast message that says "device is set to factory mode some items won't work on this mode set device to user mode". Can someone please tell me how to set my device to user mode or erase what ever is lockled in my device between download and recovery. The issue I described with the device wanting to stay in download mode and how to handle it is described her http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59372208&postcount=3 but as I mentioned I can't get passed anything that is not firmware through Odin. If I had to be locked in one version forever I would have preferred it be 5.0
I figured it out

I fianlly figured out the deal with TWRP not flashing.
The change between file systems is what TWRP won't flash.
To flash into the new, the old, or back up property check the file type.
Ext 2, Ext 4, F2FS, etc ...
To get recovery to load install from odin with auto boot disabled, remove battery, than vol + - menu and power.
the steps below..
1. Power off (complete) boot to download.
2. Load Odin, uncheck auto reboot, PDA TWRP. after it installs pull battery to exit.
3. Boot to recovery - wipe- advanced wipe -Repairor Change File System - Check System (go thruough each)
4. Repair and change each to the file type you want to flash
5. repair and or change the files for the zip you are going to flash
6. you have done all the rest before ....
Issue resolved, thread closed, thanks.

i installed twrp using odin unchecked reboot loop. before that i enabled developer options turned on usb debugging and OEM unlock. i booted it up in twrp intially couldnt mount it so i went to WIPE in twrp formatted data. then i mounted the system and made a backup in twrp. i go to install supersu and i cannot find it i couldnt find the other file either. so i rebooted to system and it is stuck on samsung logo.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Did you follow this guide exactly ? First things first you can flash stock rom with odin to make the phone boot. When you wiped in twrp you wiped supersu zip also the boot img patcher must be flashed before booting the system
Good Luck

i have a 920f on which i had the xef 7.0 android (it is a phone bought from orange romania, sim locked and the csc was oro)
i installed twrp on it and after that i rooted it by flashing a zip file with twrp
then i wanted to install a custom rom. i copied the file on the phone but i wasn't paying attention and the copy process stopped in the middle of it but the file was still on the phone. wiped everything that was asked to wipe then proceeded to install the zip only then to find out that the installation ended after about 30 seconds. i tried rebooting and i'm stuck in a bootloop. even though, i can still enter download mode and in the recovery but because i wiped all those things(everything except internal storage and usb otg)
i know that i should have checked to see if the file was being copied fully but even now when i connect the phone to my laptop in the recovery to copy the zip, it still does the same thing. i tried using another usb cable, another usb port and even another laptop but the copy process still stops about halfway trough.
right now i'm downloading a stock rom and gonna try to flash it with odin. what should i do?
any help is appreciated
Download a 7.0 rom from: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=g920f&exact=1
Flash it with ODIN (AP)
Boot device, it should work
If this doesnt work and you know what you did wrong just download samsung smart switch, do an emergency firmware recovery en start over again
Trying to get TWRP installed on an old S6 (with no SIM card), on the way to getting a newer Android on it.
Device is freshly factory reset, I do not believe that it has ever been rooted.
Per
, I have been using Odin to load twrp-3.3.1-0-zerofltespr.img.tar. Odin indicates success, but after that, if I try to get into recovery mode to use TWRP (volup+home+power), I get a blue "Installing system update" screen, then a "No Command" screen. It then drops into the stock Samsung recovery screen (zerofltespr7.0/NRD90M/G920PVPS4DRC2) instead of TWRP.
Did I miss a step? I saw something about the stock boot writing over TWRP, but the sequence of operations to avoid it did not make sense to me.
Found the missing step in
Needed to uncheck Autoreboot, then VOLUP+VOLDOWN+MENU+POWER.
