Use Samsung SmartSwitch to reinstall the Software

Sometimes you need to wipe the data partition in recovery mode. As you already tried flashing firmware.

Or download your firmware from another page. Or just redownload what you got. Also make sure 100% its the most recent firmware for your device. Then report back what you find

Hey so I tried that route as well but it said that smart switch doesn't support my device.

(sOLVED) my note is stuck on Samsung boot screen!!

i upgraded my note N8000 via odin mobile pro with success and everything was smooth and the root was not intact
I tried to flash a theme via mobile odin but was not success, but note was still ok
then 2 days later I tried to enter the recovery mode , i found the note stuck on samsung boot screen and dose not reboot, I can enter download mode but can not enter recovery mode to reflash even the stock rom
what to do?
should i reflash the CWM as 1st time? then reflash the root if i found it is gone?
or i have to reflash the stock rom first via odin desk top since i can not reboot the note? problem is the stock rom is on the note and do not have it on PC
the note now is on Samsung boot screen, how to turn it off since note can not remove the battery?
EDIT 1::good:
Flashed a stock recovery via odin desk top, and rebooted
Note is back alive , no wipes, every thing still there, root still here
Rebooted once again with success
rebooted into recovery (stock since I lost my CWM) with success
EDIT 2
Flashed CWM and my note is back for my modifications

Do you have a link to where you found the stock recovery rom/image? And how did you flash it? I am having a similar problem right now.

Will reflashing the tablet to stock, delete all of my files off of it? Is there a way to retrieve the files through download mode somehow?

It says you flashed a stock recovery. Is it the same case for a stock ROM?

sorry, my mistake, flashing the stock rom will not delete your stuff, just be sure to flash the same rom or higher, not lower one
So, I tried flashing the stock recovery and that did not work. And then I tried flashing the stock rom (multiple times with different roms) and that did not work either. My tablet is still stuck on the screen that says "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1". Do you have any other suggestions?
can u write some details about what was before and reason for problem, to think together about a solution

My Note 10.1 N8013 was rooted, had TWRP, and Cyanogenmod 10.2 Nightly on it. I hadn't touched it in two days and went to turn it on. It wouldn't turn on, so I assumed it was dead. I charge it overnight and try to turn it on in the morning, but it just goes into a boot loop. The tablet says "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" and stays that way until it dies. If I boot into recovery mode, the Teamwin (TWRP) title screen pops up and then immediately disappears. The tablet then shows the battery loading icon if it is plugged in. The icon shows up, then disappears and the shows up again and repeats this a few times. I could only boot into download mode successfully.
I have tried flashing different stock roms and recoveries through odin, including the one that you have linked on here. None of them have worked. I have also tried repartitioning the tablet, which passed on Odin, but did not solve the problem.
Other forums say that I should do a factory reset or wipe the data, but I do not know how to do this without being able to boot into recovery or the OS itself.
Thanks
P.S. I also brought it to Best Buy to see if the Samsung guy could reflash the stock rom, but his rom did not work either. They are all passing on Odin, so it isn't an error in that case.
I read that a lot of people got problems with Cyano roms. I did not like it and never used it, sorry can not help you

Could it be because of the Cyanogen rom? I didn't update recently... I probably updated it a week before it died. Would you happen to know how to do a factory reset / wipe the data from the tablet, if I can't get into recovery mode or the OS?
I don't think that there is any other way, sorry about that.
try to put your problem in the Cyano rom thread, may others had the same and solved it
Ok thank you
Let me know if you get it fixed
Hi kyleschepis,
Let me know if you find a solution. I have a very similar issue . . . the difference is, I am not using a custom ROM. I have the stock ROM that came with the GT-N8013.
My issue started about 5 days ago. My Galaxy Note had been having occasional issues with the external SD card. A warning would appear saying that the SD card had been removed, and a couple of seconds later it would re-mount and every thing was fine.
But 5 days ago, I picked up my note and turned the screen on (it was already started) and noticed the warning message while the screen was still locked. Then, as the second message was still being displayed letting me know that the SD card had been mounted, I swipe the screen to unlock. But instead of unlocking, my Note completely rebooted. It got as far as the logo screen (displaying "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1"), but would go no further.
I am able to get into the Odin download mode but cannot get into recovery mode no matter what I do/
I have tried re-flashing the stock ROM ("KIES_HOME_N8013UEUCMI3_N8013XARCMI3_813049_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5") several times, as well as trying to install customer recovery modes like CWM and TWRP, as well as the stock recovery. But the power + volume up combination does not get me into recovery mode. Even if, as many have suggested, I continue holding the button combination until the logo screen displays a second or a third time.
I have been without my Note for 5 days now, and I use it for everything. So, any help I can get would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

I have the same problem. I was just playing a game when it suddenly turned off and went to the boot screen. Also tried installing N8000XXUDNE5_N8000OLBDNE3_N8000DXUDND1_HOME.tar.md5 (success but also didn't work). Still stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" screen.
Also can't access recovery, or do a wipe before installing firmware (I think USB debugging isn't turned on).
Did you find any solutions yet?
Thanks.

Star S5 Butterfly Completely Bricked!

guys i need serious help. i have had this device (name in title) for a while and i had it rooted. when resetting it from its menu it got stuck on android is upgrading screen for a couple of days. so i decided to restore it using sp flash tool. i went on needrom and got the latest rom from there BIG MISTAKE . i then flashed it correctly and it had booted but it would not let me use the screen because it had froze. so then forcing it to power off by removing the battery. unfortunately it never booted up again. now when trying to flash the first rom available it only shows the red bar and then i get an error ''BROM:S_ft_enable_dram_failed(4032).
i have noticed that when it booted up after flashing the rom it booted up with a htc bootanimation so the rom was a custom rom.
the setup screen also looked messed up.
i was told to right click on the preloader when it shows up and install the correct drivers manually. i did but i also noticed it had a yellow triangle and was named mt65xxx preloader. once updating it it is now called something like mediateck vcom preloader or close to that but when connecting the phone it oonly stays there for 2 seconds and disappears and never comes back unless i dissconnect and connect the phone again.
someone please help and if you need more info just message me.

Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900P Bootloop

Hey guys, so I'm up for a new phone (had this phone for 2 years) and I remember having a friend root + flash me the cyanogenmod on my Samsung Galaxy S3
I decided to root/flash my current phone (Galaxy S5) and i ended up ****ing in on several fronts.
The following is what I did and where I ended up
Rooted phone through Odin - was successful but I got a feeling it was outdated as I got the Seandroid kernal thing in red
Got ROM Manager and flashed recovery to TWRP - successful
Flashed ROM to Cyanogenmod nightly 7/14/16 - used the wrong version so i couldn't use my phone to call
Flashed Rom to the correct version - successful
Installed Gapps zip so i can use the app store and etc - experienced issues as it was always saying the store failed and etc
Now where I am currently
I ended up wiping all the data and etc so I can flash back to the Stock ROM/firmware since I couldn't get the Gapps to work.
I tried to flash the firmware but everytime I flash it and it boots to the stock recovery and says "installing android update" it gets to 1/3rd where it says "Erasing" and boots up to the Sprint Logo where the Blue notif is on and it is stuck.
I'm assuming its soft bricked and on a bootloop and I am trying to see if I can salvage this phone.
I tried flashing different version of the firmware (my brother has the same phone his version is G900PVPS3CPE2) and i tried that and G900PVPU3CPA. Both times its says its successful on odin but upon booting it only gets 30% before it says erasing and returns to get stuck on the boot.
Can I salvage this phone and if so can someone guide me through the proccess (links to proper firmware download/etc)
I do not care if any data/apps is lost (i have important stuff backed up on my gmail), I just want my phone to work.
That being said, my phone is salvageable instead of guiding me to repairing my phone to stock, if they can guide me to set my phone to a custom ROM (cyanogenmod or anything they suggest assuming they can get the googleapps to work on it) can someone please guide me through that.
Thanks again for reading.
Edit: All info in a TLR format incase my wall of text was messy
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900P (SPR) Android 6.0.1
problem: ****ed up with flashing now phone is stuck in bootloop
What I want: Find a solution to make my phone work, ideally to make it work using a custom rom(any works) that has a working google apps installed.

completely stuck at "firmware update encountered"

When i got the phone it was already dead (stuck at logo). then i flashed the phone's firmware. it did succeed but wont boot up. some weird thing happend and i flashed twrp (hoping to revive through custom ROM instead). it was very difficult but i succeed. When i was finally flashing custom ROM ( it took a hell of a time) , the process finished and at the initial boot-up, the screen went crazy like when you see your T.V doesn't have signal like burrrrrr.
I took it to nearest technicians but they said i have corrupted my partition and there is no way to fix it.
Now the screen is stuck at " firmware update encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
Hoping response asap.
Desperate
Thanks in advance.:good:

Please Help with SM-G920V Verizon S6

Hello All,
My friend has a Verizon S6 that is not booting up. Stays frozen or in a boot loop on Samsung logo.
No idea what Android version it had.
I downloaded the latest firmware md5 file for it from SamFirm and tried to flash it with Odin. It was a single file so I used the AP button as usual.
It starts flashing but when it comes to System.img Odin fails. I tried many times with many Odin Versions and re-downloaded the firmware file and tried many usb cables and 2 different PCs but no go.
As I'm writing this, I tried it again and it completed the flash successfully but the phone booted up in a blue Android screen and it said installing system update, then erasing and it froze right there. I go into recovery and reset to factory settings and wipe cache. And the purple LED is on all the time.
So now it's stuck in a boot loop on the Verizon logo red screen.
I believe something is messed up in the partitions or memory, I'm not sure. Anyway I can revive this phone for him?
He's not interested in rooting but if it's a must, no problem; anything to get the phone started.
The phone is sim unlocked cos he was using it on sim cards outside the US, so he would like to keep doing that as he no longer lives in the US.
Thank you kindly in advance.
