I bricked my phone a few days ago, and I've tried every possible firmware that's compatible with my phone, but every time I try to download it on ODIN it downloads everything but the system.img.ext4. It will go about 75% done, and then it will just fail. I've tried using a PIT file. I have a Samsung Galaxy A9 model SM-A910F, I really need help I have no idea how to fix this. I am using windows 10.
It finally boots, but now it's just stuck on the Samsung logo startup screen, and I can't seem to boot into recovery. I can still go into download mode. Can anybody help me?

Hello
About three days ago I went to turn on my N8000 and it got stuck in the "Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1" logo. At first I thought it was updating something or just taking longer to start, but after one day I realized that it wasn't going to start at all. So I tried to do a factory reboot but found out that the tablet won't boot into the bootloader (Power + vol up), it just kept going into the galaxy logo. It can, however, boot into download mode, so I started checking on the page what could solve my problem. I tried installing the CWM recovery using ODIN 1.85, the flash was successfull but the device will still not boot into recovery mode. After that I read that installing a stock firmware could solve the issue, so I downloaded the Kit Kat version and flashed it, rebooted but nothing. I found some topic that a guy had to use a .pit file along the kit kat firmware, did that too and nothing.
So here I am stuck with my tablet bricked and without knowing what else to do, so I was hoping to get some help from you guys.
Thanks in advice!
TLDR;
Trying to install custom recovery with odin auto-reboot checked off so stock doesnt replace odin says PASS I disconnect the phone but in downloading mode the blue bar is full and the phone doesn't want to shut down. I remove the battery and try to boot into custom philz-recovery it gets stuck in samsung logo. But functions perfectly on normal boot. I reset the whole phone and try the cf-auto-root method and the phone gets stuck in samsung logo now not even booting up normally. So i reset the whole phone again with odin and firmware from sammobile now sitting with a stock android and knox warranty ticked without having a root.
(Sorry for the long post I've tried to provide as much info as I can) So I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 exact model number SM-G900H. And I'm trying to root it. I go into download mode than I launch Odin and check off Auto-Reboot so it won't boot up and the stock recovery replaces the custom I'm trying to install, I connect the phone it says its connected than I select AP and than choose philz-recovery (latest version) and start it. So the Odin finishes its work says "PASS" in green letters. I disconnect the phone but on S5 the blue bar is full and it does not want to shut down (if the auto-reboot is checked it just reboots and it doesn't even want to boot into stock recovery just stuck on samsung logo) I've waited a good hour and still nothing. So I pull out the battery for it to shut down and than I straight try to boot into recovery and it just gets stuck on samsung logo and the blue letters don't even show up. Before rooting the recovery worked and I factory resetted the device before so samsungs knox does't interrupt with its not-being-able-to-boot-into-recovery-if-you-dont-know-the-password-to-the-samsung-account. And I'm now sitting here now with knox warranty ticked and not even rooted BUT I CAN STILL USE THE PHONE PERFECTLY WITHOUT TRYING TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY JUST BOOTS UP NORMALLY. So what I do than is reset the phones firmware with Odin from sammobile. Ok stock android. Than I try the Cf-auto root method with Odin. No luck phone just doesn't even boot up. So I reset the phone again same method. Ok stock android again. Sitting here reading through google for 8 hours 5 of thise spent on xda. STILL NO LUCK. So I hope someone can resolve the issue. I can't provide any pictures as I just rage closed my computer and didn't take pics. And if I install cynogenmod with heimdall is it going to be rooted (i know you don't need a root to do that) and can someone provide a guide to that heimdall cynogenmod install method?
I got this Galaxy Note 10.1 a few years ago. Last year I decided to flash Gnabo Rom v7 on to my GT-N8000. The Rom was working for almost a year, until, when I tried to boot my device, it showed the cvm custom recovery thing.
So I just rebooted the device from the cvm, and it showed the Samsung logo animation. However, it was stuck on the animation for over a couple of hours, so now I can't use my device.
A few days ago, I tried some youtube tutorials on how to unbrick/unroot my galaxy note 10.1.
First I tried putting it in download mode and flashing a factory firmware(samsung) using odin 3, v1.85. I click on PDA and opened my rom. I clicked start. (I didn't touch anything except for PDA.)
The Progress was successful until the system.img part. It got stuck for a couple of minutes on system.img and then failed. I tried doing it again and using different usb ports but it still failed st system.img.
After that, I tried clicking on Bootloader instead of PDA, but it still failed on the system part.
Now my tablet shows the "Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select Kies in recovery mode & try again."
I could get into download mode but not recovery mode. (nothing happens when I hold power button)
Any help would be great. Thanks!!!
What happens if you use Kies

My tablet cannot connect to Kies.
Hey guys,
My wife's Galaxy S6 - SM-G920P has been stuck in a boot-loop the last few days. I am unable to get past the login screen before it restarts. I cleared the cache and tried everything from the youtube link below, but I am running into a problem with the ODIN firmware update. I am using ODIN v3.12 and I am trying to install the below firmware update. Everything works fine, the firmware is uploaded to the phone. However, when the phone reboots and the blue screen comes up with installing updates, it keeps freezing at 32%, followed by an erasing of the update. The phone then repeats the boot loop again.
I am out of ideas and was hoping someone has encountered this issue before and can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

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.
