See if holding Volume down & Home & power until the phone reboots twice (Don't let go of the buttons until it has rebooted twice) hopefully it will enter download mode after the second reboot
From there you should be able to flash stock again and fix the loop

so I had a stock rom after messing around with rooted roms. the stock one i got from sammobile and had the install drk first problem but i flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip in twrp recovery. after that i wanted to make a backup so when I wanted to get to the twrp recovery it got stuck in a boot loop so i got it into download mode and flashed stock firmware and that resulted in the problem above.
as long as my phone is working again I dont care about whar to do but I would prefer a stock rom.

I did flash stock with odin and smartswitch again but it still results in the same boot loop.

Did you use CSC with ODIN to force a factory reset after the flash? (HOME_CSC will not reset the device, so can leave problem files behind)
There is a possible solution here but you'll need TWRP again

fpr lock is causing the problem is there a way to turn it off without the phone booting?

man, I have this same issue. Used the stock firmware for 6.0.1 to downgrade from stock 7.0, and now it is stuck in a boot loop with the logo. So I did the Vol Up+Home+power to get into Recovery Mode but now it is just is a boot loop saying "Recovery Booting". Using Odin 3.12.3 , S7, first only AP file... then tried AP + CSC (not Home_CSC) and same issue.
I can still get to Download mode. Shows Official for the firmwares. Warranty Void 0x0 , and FAP Lock ON
---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 PM ----------
I just noticed that while the original instructions I found said only to use AP and then this thread said AP+CSC , that ODIN 3.12.3 says to do BL+AP+CP+HOME_CSC , so I did that... and it worked!
---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 PM ----------
what?!?! It is asking for my password to decrypt device, so I put in my password. And it's NOT taking that as the password!

Well apparently all instructions are a mashup. So then I research this issue and I need to do a factor Wipe, which is fine. I just wish I had found 1 full set of working instructions for downgrading. But it worked and I am not on stock 6.0.1 for my T-mobile S7. Still shows Official for the firmware, Warranty Void 0x0 , FAP lock ON.

Just flash the whole stock rom and your problem should be fixed. You will loose your non-backed up data but its an small price to pay.
Download an stock rom for Your variant (g930f/g930fd/g930a/etcetc one of them) and extract it. Using SamFirm tool is advisable as it"ll allow you to download the firmware really fast.
Then flash using odin 3.12.3 the combo: ap/bt/cp/csc (not the home_csc).

I have already done this and i dm vertification problem. i can solve that problem if it would just let me get twrp.

Have you tried this procedure?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r0D2CJNwF8
1) Download any rom you want.
2) Flash the just the bootloader and reboot.
3) Boot again into download mode and flash the BL (again)+AP. You can also flash the CSC and CP in this step.
4) The phone will reboot and go to recovery mode (the stock one) and perform the system update.
5) After the system update the phone will reboot. If you get stuck in a bootloop, boot again to recovery mode and do a factory reset (If you can't get to the recovery menu at the first try reboot the phone again into recovery until it lets you use the recovery menu).

kernel not Seandroid Enforcing/NAND WRITE START

Got a phone from someone like this,
Originally Powered up but stated "kernel not seandroid enforcing" tried to odin to install new rom which mad it mad :crying:
now Wont boot up stuck on T-Mobile logo and Odin no matter what i try to install gets stuck at "NAND WRITE START"
Any Ideas?
Use Odin to flash Unikernel and TWRP and use TWRP to install a new ROM.
Threads with this problem turn up quite frequently, for flashing a ROM with Odin doesn't really work:

Hell no, 25 minutes...i had similar issues when i did it.
It's done in literally a few seconds, so something is wrong.
I'd download Odin and TWRP again and do a fresh install; make sure the files are OK (check md5) and they are the latest version.
Also, check if you have the TWRP file for your specific model here.
There's something in above how-to about this issue:
If Odin gets stuck at setup connection, then you need to do steps 4 to 10 again. For this, close Odin, disconnect your device, remove battery, insert it back after 5-6 seconds and then start from step 4 again.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Removing the battery=hold vol down+power for 7sec. till the phone powers off; enter d/l mode again and retry.
Last, use the original USB cable and try a different USB port.
Good luck! don't get desperate,, it will run again :good:
Just use smart switch while in download mode. Re-root if you want.

i am having the exact same problem.

I have no Operating System on Galaxy S6

HELLO!
I recently had issues with my Galaxy S6 after "unrooting it".
In short way as possible:
1. I have Rooted my S6
2. I have decided to unroot it
3. I have downloaded stock rom from Sammobile (correct one yes)
4. The flash failed leaving me with some errors.
5. I have flashed twrp recovery and it fixed the problem.
6. Today I have turned my phone off and it got stock in boot loop
7. I tried clearing cache. Didn't help.
8. I cleared internal storage (Factory reset) and my phone didn't turn on at all... I went into twrp again to find out that there is literally nothing on my phone apart from the TWRP recovery...
9. I have access to Download Mode/Recovery mode .
I have tried flashing stock firmware on the phone and it didn't work becuase Odin is giving me errors all the time. Please don't bother providing me solutions with Odin as I have tried literally everything, different usb ports, versions of Odin etc etc. didn't work.
Is there any way to fix this? Maybe Custom Rom CM13 ?
CM13 is not stable. Try to copy a custom rom that is stable and specific to your device via adb.
Else try Odin.
Maybe try from somebody else's pc with the latest version of ODIN. If required download the stock rom file from sammobile again; mayb some errors have crept in while downloading.
Trust me; ODIN is the best option.
Check whether your computer is up to date and whether usb drivers are properly installed. Try with ODIN with newly downloaded rom file
Don't use usb 3.0 ports on Your computer. They either won't work or mess up the data that odin sends to Your phone. And flash stock rom again.

Just flash a pit file..nothing else. Power off.. Go to recovery..wipe data.. factory reset and you are OK
if you want to do a clean install you have 2 solutions first with smart switch second you download wrong firmware and with wrong i mean no for wrong model of s6 but wrong number!!!your csc must have 3 not 2!!!for example i had this firmware on my phone G920FEUR3COI6 and i tried to flash this G920FEUR2COH2 and i got a bootloop because of this section EUR2!!!for sure download this http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/57680/G920FXXU3COI9_G920FBTU3COJ1_BTU/ and you are good to go!!!
Its more easy a fast just to flash pit and to factory reset or otherwise bootloop
Download and open Smart Switch on your PC
Then, connect phone at download mode to your PC
And, rescue the firmware via Smart Switch.
If you decide to flash a Pit file, you should be able to find the right one here.

Sorry, for not replying. I seemed to get it working after flashing my firmware, but I still got the error, so I went the same way as before and flashed twrp and it seemed to work, however when I turn my phone off and try to turn it back on then the bootloop happens and I have to go through the same process all the time which is kinda time consuming. I am just downloading this firmware that you have linked me and try to flash it hopefully with no errors :angel: and it will bring my knox back

Help with TWRP

Hi,
I am trying to install TWRP onto my S6, however everytime in Odin it fails.
I've done a fresh wipe of my phone, got Odin v3.10.7 installed on my pc with twrp-2.8.7.2-zeroflte.img.tar and twrp-3.0.2-0-zeroflte.img.tar (tried both incase the newest one didnt work.)
I put my phone into Download Mode and the plugged it into my laptop, and then chose the correct file under the AP section of Odin.

Can someone help?

Okay so I managed to get Odin to work for the TWRP file - however it hasn't changed anything in my recovery menu...
I read on https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys6.html that I need to disable Fastboot as it wipes over the TWRP when booting... so after googling how to do that, people say to go into power settings and turn it off. But there are no settings for it.
How can I disable fastboot so that the TWRP will stay installed?

I used CF-AutoRoot to get the initial root, then flashed a custom 3.0.2.2 TWRP (available from the official TWRP thread... Look for the idlekernel link). Works great
Bigbiff seems to have an official MM version in the pipeline, so just flash that when it's released in the next month or two
Oh, and you can just flash a custom kernel that comes with a root

So if I use CF-AutoRoot that will modify the recovery menu so that I can use any ROM I want?
I want to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423
So I'd use CF-AutoRoot and then in the new recovery menu select the zip files from the above link?

CF-AutoRoot only installs a temp recovery to flash SuperSU. It then reinstates the stock recovery, so no.
Root it with CF-AutoRoot, flash the custom TWRP that currently works with MM, make a back up, then go mad

Galaxy s7 stuck in bootloop and can't flash stock/recovery and unable to recover

Hey guys, hoping I can get some assistance on my phone which I've hit the limits of my knowledge on. Basically after rooting and trying to go back to custom I think I've corrupted my recovery as well as boot partition as the phone is boot looping and I'm getting the following message when trying to load the recovery:
Recovery is not seandroid enforcing
I've tried using ODIN to flash stock firmware as well as TWRP however as soon as I tell ODIN to start it reboots the phone and then disconnects and fails. I've even unticked "Auto-Reboot" under options however this makes no difference.
I just want to get my phone booting again and am sure if I can just restore and replace the recovery partition I can get the phone working again but am unsure what else I can do at this point?
I'm unable to connect via ADB or Fastboot as the device reboots before I get that far but I know my pc is seeing the phone in download mode. I've tried multiple USB cables including an official Samsung cable and has made no difference. I've tried ODIN 3.12 and 3.10.
ODIN 3.10 states the following logs:
<ID:0/003> Odin engine v(ID:3.1100)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..

<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
and ODIN 3.12 shows:
<ID:0/003> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> FAIL! (DeviceInfo)
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
If I could find a way to install the recovery files then I should be set to finish this off but my Google-Fu is failing me and I'm unable to find a solution to this issue now.
Hi,
Is your phone an original Samsung?
Maybe you get a fake. Where did you get it? Check your phone model number (sm-g.......)
It's official, got the box and everything.
Seriously wish you guys would take your time when this happens do you have the right twrp recovery? just flash that in odin then put a custom rom on your phone zip file sd card then once you have a custom rom on then go into download mode on your phone then flash all the file from stock rom in odin
How can I flash the recovery when the phone reboots as soon as I click start and it fails? Or are you saying its doing that because the TWRP isn't the correct version?

press the power button volume down and home key all at same time before it can reboot
Update:
I tried the suggested version of TWRP, then flashed an S7 ROM, rebooted into download mode and flashed stock and now have a fully working phone again!
Thanks dan110000 you really saved my bacon there!
Sometimes it's the little things that can catch you out when you spend so long making things too complicated.
this process isnt working for me with the new BL fused 6 error. I tried to flash Unlocked OS Stock rom and it sent to recovery boot and no recovery installed. I flashed the Correct most recent stock os for phone which is G930p it successfull flashed but still in a recovery boot loop with no recovery installed. The FRP lock is off and secure boot is enabled. BL is not unlocked. When i go to flash in odin it says unsupported dev type

Note 10.1 GT-n8010 stuck in bootloop, no recovery mode, unable to flash stock ROM

Hey there,
my Note 10.1 GT-n8010 bought in 2012 has been soft bricked for years but here I am giving it another try. Because of that, I have no memory of what software version was on the device, but I know it was rooted. The recovery mode is not working as the android logo with red triangle shows up, but I am able to go into download mode which says that: current binary and system status are both custom. I've tried flashing different stock ROMs from SAMMOBILE, starting with XEO (as it is my region) for 4.4.2 and 4.1.2 , but it didn't work. Every time I get sboot.bin FAIL in odin. I've also tried to install TWRP recovery and to root the device in order to unlock bootloader but then I get recovery.img fail in odin. So my main question is: what is causing sboot.bin to fail? I've read that flashing the most recent ROM usually makes this problem go away, but not in my case. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
sboot wrong firmware for model or and older bootloader.
You need a rom firmware with the same bootloader.
Bootloader has never been locked.

Could you point me in a direction of how to look for a correct ROM? On sammobile there are only two versions of ROMS for my region - 4.4.2 and 4.1.2 and none of them worked. Should I go through every possible region and hope for the best? How do I know that a ROM has the same bootloader? Since I can't turn on the device and find out the specifications of my system, is this just a guessing game? Thanks for taking the time to help me, by the way.
Was the Note purchased in your region ??
I would start with the oldest firmware any region a nd work through them.
Just make sure 16 or 32 gb is as your model.
Sammobile.
Updato.com.
Samsung-updates.
Are firmware sources.
I am also unable to revive my N8000, I can only go in download mode to flash.
Could you tell me when flashing a recovery with odin if the bootloader version matter ? I don't get that ? for me recovery are self loading no ?
No and no.
Suggest flash stock rom via Odin .

Sauces, my name is Caterina and I too have a problem with my Galaxy note 10.1 and looking for solutions on the internet I came to your forum. I hope you can help me. Let me explain: my tablet, while I was using it, froze without a reason and a few seconds later it restarted, remaining stuck on the word "samsung". You can't turn it off because if I press "power" it restarts. The only way to turn it off is to attach it to the charger. It does not go into recovery mode but only in odin mode. I tried to install a firmware download with SamFirm but it doesn't work. I tried with "dr. Phone" and nothing; with "reiboot for android" and nothing; I tried to install adb but if I type adb devices on the promt it doesn't find me the tablet despite the drivers are correctly installed (in fact odin if I connect in tablet via usb I recognize it). Usb debug is not active nor can I activate it since I cannot log in. The tablet is connected as an MTP. The twrp doesn't let me install it (I downloaded it from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-1/orig-development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-t3895276/ page4) but I didn't even understand what to do exactly. I downloaded the * .tar.md5 file and changed the extension to * .tar but nothing; I inserted the * .tar file in "AP"; I downloaded the img iso file but I don't know where to put it. I'm desperate. Help me to solve. One last thing, it's not possible to download the firmware from sammobile because you need a premium account and it's not the I. If any of you can download it could you alleviate it? Thanks in advance.
Install TWRP 2.8 * from TWRP thread or twrp.me .
Or try Philz recovery from this forum .
<I tried to install a firmware download with SamFirm but it doesn't work.>
What does not work mean what errors in Odin ??
What firmware .

Hi and thanks for checking with me. I tried twrp 2.8.6.0 downloaded from twrp.me. I also tried previous versions for the GT-N8000 but to no avail. Clearly, since the models gt-n8010 and n8013 are not compatible with mine, is it possible to try the twrp for the p4notewifi or would I send the tablet in brik? Could you please send me the link to the recovery philiz please? However I also tried CF-auto-root and nothing. I state that I have never developed the root before and not so without root permissions I can share a non samsung firmware. Maybe that's why the recovery has been modified, not so. In any case, if there was a way to root now I would do it. I only care about saving the tablet and making it work.
This is after used twrp-2.8.6.0-gt-n8000.tar

However with the original firmware downloaded with both Samfirm and Samobile the error is sboot.ini fail. The versions of odin I tried are 3.13; 3.09 and 1.85.

Help me!!!!
Sboot fail is due to flashing a firmware that has older bootloader than the one on the tablet.
Flash later firmware.
Try latest firmware.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-t2345831
Usual rule of thumb with Odin is try another USB cable and ports on your computer. Normally the ones off the back side of a laptop/computer are the best to use since they are right off the motherboard. Odin is 100% connection sensitive. Always has been.

Hi JJEgan, I tried them all but I just can't bypass the boot problem that prevents me from flashing firmware with odin. I wanted to try with the pit but since I know it could damage my tablet I wanted to know from you a site where to download a functional pit, suitable for my galaxy note gt-n8000. On the internet I found several but we know several versions: 4.04, 4.12 etc. and I don't know if it should match the pit version with the version of the rom I'm going to download. If I download the Italian Rom (since I am Italian) will I have to use an Italian pit or if the pit is of a given nationality, will the Rom also be of the same nationality? In odin, if I put the pit and pda, do I have to tick only the auto reboot and F. reset time boxes or even the re-partition box? Generally I know that the re-partition should never be selected but I read (but I'm not sure) that the inclusion of the pit involves selecting the distribution. Waiting for you to reply cordially.
No idea sorry PITs are model and 16 or 32 gb not countries .
I dont know about flashing PIT ,
But all questions have beeen answered already in the forum .
PIT is part of the firmware .

Mine is a 16GB model. I found several pits but I didn't understand how to use them and, since the procedure is risky, I wanted to be sure to flash the right one and to operate correctly. Don't you know how to address me to some page where they talk about it? But do you think my tablet is recoverable? Believe me, it seems to me that whatever I do is not successful. Yet I thought that in the case of soft bricks something could still be done but I'm starting to lose hope. In any case, thank you for your time and wish you a good day.

No sorry apart from the forums SEARCH .
and see

Looks like Odin cannot write the recovery, this leads me to assume that this is a faulty MMC which seems to be a rather common issue. I don't think that this is a recoverable issue unless you solder a new MMC.
For the recovery part, try this:
1) turn on the tablet
2) wait for a reboot
3) immediately after the screen goes black, press and hold power only, you will see the logo come up and then vanish quicker than before
5) as soon as it vanishes, release power and immediately press and hold it again and also press and hold volume up at the same time
6) after the Samsung logo appears again, release the power key but not the volume up
I found this to sometimes help with a boot loop. If this does not work, you are probably out of luck. The Samsung logo disappearing basically tells you that the partition (either boot or recovery) could not be loaded into RAM for the kernel to be started. The BL2 then panics and restarts the device.
