I am rooted running Jellybean on Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3, tried to install wi fi tether kept asking for superuser permission then froze. On rebooting phone is stuck on samsung logo. Tried unbricking by flashing stock rom with Odin, no success. Is it because I am on Jellybean and am trying to revert to ICS? Please help someone!!! Thanks in advance.

That's odd. Well if youre trying to revert to ics try flashing this in Odin then. This should set you straight

And btw don't know why you froze but superuser popping up 15 times was normal. I recommend using super su with that wifi tether app
Same thing happened to me
So I am on Stock jelly bean which I downloaded the OTA from here and I am rooted. After installing the wifi mod I went to start it and it keeps asking for superuser permissions over and over. Then it said something about you phone is operating at a unstable state please reboot you phone and now it will not bootup, it gets to the Samsung word after the sprint logo and stays there. I have tried booting into safe mode by holding down left button at logo, by tapping it while it boots. Nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
What the hell this cant be coincidence.
I really need data from an app any suggestions?

So I was running a rooted ROM and used Odin to take my phone back to stock. It said it succeeded fine but it boots up and I keep getting this error and then a TW has stopped error. It just keeps happening over and over again. I tried 2 different stock images with the same result. Can anyone please help me?

Your signature says you're using an HTC one x so you may want to try posting in those forums. In anycase, did you wipe your cache and Dalvik cache? This can help resolve problems when flashing back to stock. Another option is to fix permissions in CWM.

Never updated my sig. It's an AT&T GS3 and I used Odin to go back to stock using the stock files from the thread in the Dev section. Tried multiple times with different files but it keeps happening. Odin says that it was successful but this keeps happening. I really need some help.

Okay, gotchya. I would try restarting your phone in recovery mode (when you flash stock samsung includes a minimal stock recovery). When you get to recovery it should give you options to wipe data/factory reset and cache (similar to what you see in clockworkmod). See if that helps. I recently had a similar problem where the stock rom wouldn't boot after flashing and doing this fixed my problem. Good luck.

Thanks. I'm trying Odin again and I'll try that if it doesn't work.
Dude, you are my hero right now. Had the same error and then did a factory reset from stock recovery and booted right up to the installation wizard screen or whatever. Went through that and all is good. Thanks man, I never even thought of trying the stock recovery.
Good evening,
I currently have AOKP d2att 4.1.2 and I'm trying to flash my phone with the stock ROM from Bell using the following link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426)
For about a month I was able to revert back to my stock ROM without any problem but this week I tried a couple of times to flash it but when it comes to reboot the device I'm stuck at the Samsung (animated logo) screen and that doesn't seem to go through.
Would that be because of the number of flash that I've done on my phone and it's blocking me from restoring it?
Thanks!
Boot into recovery and do a factory reset. Wipe cash data and dalvik. Reboot and should be fine.

Weird as hell whenever i getsoft bricked i use that youtube vid each time.. idk why it doesnt work with u guys D:
I have the SGH-M919
I've rooted my phone and was running a GE rom
Everything was fine for MONTHS
Got in my car and plugged my AUX cable to my phone for music and the phone froze.
Force rebooted the phone and it started boot looping.
Rebooted to recovery (TWRP) and TRIED to wipe dalvik and cache and it FAILED, said it couldn't mount dalvik
Rebooted to recovery again and wiped all partitions and this time it worked so I proceeded to re-install GE rom, still bootlooping
Came home and tried to use ODIN to flash M919UVUAMDL and it failed.
Tried ODIN to flash M919UVUEMK2, also failed (sorry don't have the error messages right now)
Rebooted phone into download mode again and phone said there was an issue and to use Kies to recover
Installed Kies and started emergency recovery and that went through fine and the phone finished and STILLLLLLL BOOT LOOPS !!!!!!!!!!!
Copied the file that Kies downloaded (M919UVUFNB4) and tried ODIN again to flash that and it flashes fine but STILLL BOOT LOOPS
Obviously my Knox warranty flag is tripped and I don't have the money for the insurance right now.... so PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF BOB does anyone have any other diagnostic tips or tricks to help me figure out why the F this phone is boot looping.

Only Samsung can reset your Knox flag. You can't expect instant responses here. People read and answer the questions they know how to. Not doing a full wipe before installing a different ROM often causes soft bricks and bootloops. I would start there although that doesn't explain why you couldn't mount Dalvik. Try a different recovery. Many people have had trouble with TWRP. Philz Touch works well if you haven't already tried it.

1. Samsung WON'T reset my flag... they won't even TOUCH the phone in any way shape or form. I spent almost two hours dealing with them and being honest about the situation. And they STILL won't do anything at all. The rep I was speaking too even said the first thing they do is check that flag and if its popped, they put it back in the box and send it back with no further action. So I will not buy form Samsung ever again.
2. I'm not expecting instant responses at all and nothing I said should have been interpreted at such. I made the comment of 53 views in 4 hours and not a single reply ... I was hoping for a better ratio of responses than that.
3. Where are you getting "Not doing a full wipe before installed a different ROM..." I never said that I didn't... and if you read what I took the time to organize neatly, I specifically state that full wipe was what I tried BEFORE re-installing the SAME rom.
4. Can't try a different recovery if I can't even get the stock factory image to do an initial boot.

Sooooo umm what ?
Anyway... I flashed PhilZ on my phone, did full wipe, tried installing the same GE rom I was using... didn't work.
Tried installing stock rom, didn't work.
Tried flashing M919UVUFNB4 via ODIN... and it flashes fine but again, first boot wont work.
Ok so .... I guess installing PhilZ... then full wipe, then flashing M919UVUFNB4 TWICE back to back did the trick.... no freaking clue how but it worked
I spoke too soon. Went through first boot. Got all the way to the end setup and then it rebooted on its own ... and now its stuck in a boot loop again

Since your using philz, choose install new ROM, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik, THEN go to mounts and select the one close to the bottom, wipe SD/data or something..... This will wipe your internal SD, OK so then install your rom and reboot.....
I am starting to think you flashed a non GE kernel and didnt realize it You just got to give the phone some love, thats all. It knows when your upset you know.

The weirdness continues
sooo it started boot looping again. Then I rebooted to recovery (which obviously after flashing NB4, its no longer PhilZ) and did factory reset. Now its working again with latest firmware.
Also I flashed the GE rom from HERE in XDA and used it for like 2 or 3 months then it suddenly stopped working so I don't think the kernal was the issue... I'm so freaking confused

Flash something else, GE is boring, Flash something crazy like Slim or something, that might work... Possibly it could be a bootloader issue, did you ever get on the MK2? Maybe you got one of the female phones. Sammy made some by mistake. they can be real finicky every now and then, like they work just fine most of the time, but about once a month or so they just crap out. Could be that too.

And I LIKE GE lol...
Well whatever happened it seems stable again now currently on stock NB4
Next thing to check is if the knox warranty flag is still tripped... Do you know how to do that ?
Yea your Knox flag is tripped alright, you have zero chance if ever getting back to 0x0.... Nobody knows how to do that brother.

Philz's and TWRP both had small glitches on the GS4 4.2.2 Stock Rom.
I downloaded and installed the OUDHS-Recovery-jfltetmo-1.0.3.3.tar and have it all PERFECT now! You can search using exactly that filename and download it for your use. IT IS THE flashable Recovery Version.
I can, using Rom Manager, NAME THE BACKUP before booting into recovery, and it makes the backup just as I named it!
I can also recover using Rom Manager, and visually select what backup file I want to restore to, again, before booting into recovery!
CWM type backups take longer then TWRP backups to complete, but I have not had any instance that a backup I made couldn't be restored.
I did have that problem using "TWRP" and "On Line Backup". (No longer do I trust using those)
Hope this info helps your decision!
Good Luck and Aloha!
Hello everyone,
After a long fight to try and get this phone back to normal, everything seemed good,
except not really
I started on a buggy CM11 version. Sick of it, I downloaded a 4.4.4 stock rom. I had to disable firewall and defender, but I got Odin to flash my md5. I got through everything and it booted successfully. After signing in and all that jazz, I find out that my WiFi isn't working. After a few reboots, My 4G finally works and everything seems to be steady.
Then, after exploring the rest of the phone I find out that all my apps from last ROM are still there. I know that you are supposed to wipe before flashing, but I was told that Odin will take care of that. It obviously didn't.
After THAT, I try to boot into Recovery as the next sensible step is to try to wipe my data and cache. I turn the phone off and press (Vol up + Home + Pwr) and the first boot screen shows for a moment. It says in blue "RECOVERY BOOTING" in the corner. Right after, it disappears and in another second it does the same screen without the "RECOVERY BOOTING". And as presumed, it does a regular boot.
What did I miss? How can I wipe my phone from recovery? How can I fix my problem with Wifi?
Reflash in Odin.
Make sure you have the correct stock rom. If you flash the "md5" you may have flashed the wrong thing. The md5 is not tge firmware, that is just the code that verifies your firmware file is not corrupted.
If your old apps were still there, you flashed the wrong thing. There is no way to flash stock firmware in odin and not wipe the data partition.
You are correct then
Yeah, I flashed a tar.md5 in Odin. It gave me a new ROM but all my apps are there. After all that, I still can't go to recovery. I tried using the terminal and ROM Toolbox to go there, both didn't work. Can I just leave it as it is and find a way to recovery or is the only way to go to bootloader and flash a correct file to get to recovery?
Flash twrp and see if it will reboot into recovery, then factory reset and flash latest firmware with Odin right after. Odin will NOT wipe data. It has to be done manually

It depends on what you ate flashing.
If you are flashing a full stock factory image it will wipe user data. If you are just flashing a system partition it won't.

The first post of any customized stock rom will tell you if its deodexed. If it doesn't say it...its not.
@Essem G:
Any updates for us? I'm following this thread because I have similar problems with my WiFi not working after upgrading from 4.2.2.
Any luck getting TWRP flashed?
Also I believe that the stock firmwares do come as tar.md5's, as in the file: M919UVUFNK2_M919TMBFNK2_M919UVUFNK2_HOME.tar.md5 from ShinySide's stock firmware thread.
As for the WiFi issue, from the hours of reading I've done it looks like this problem occurs when you upgrade your firmware, but it no longer matches the bootloader. Such as bootloader (Baseband) showing MDL, but Build Number showing NH7, NK2, etc. What does your show?
This thread may be of use to you when you get back to a working ROM. Good luck!
@RavenMind1
Everyone has been saying different answers and i've put off fixing my device for a while. I'm just afraid i'll brick it forever and have another nightmare after this current one. So no, there has been no progress. I think i'm gonna try to flash Philz and format my system, then flash a deodexed rom. @g7755725 said that you can flash TWRP, but I usually use Philz. It appears to be that I have lost root access because no root features work and SuperSU won't recognize it. Will everything work or am I setting my self up for disaster?
Edit: Where can I find a deodexed rom? I desperately need one, thanks

I was happy with it and it had great battery life but I wanted xposed so I found a tutorial for sprint note 4 lollipop. after i flashed xposed my phone got stuck in a boot loop and i didn't have a backup. i tried to Odin back to stock but that kept failing, i gave up and flashed noterized rom through TWRP. now i want to got back to stock or at least get a different rom (maybe Vision or hybrid i tried both) but i tried flashing a couple of different rom but they never work, my phone just keeps rebooting (goes to "Samsung galaxy note 4 powered by android" screen and then restarts i tried waiting 30 mins but no luck) however i am able to flash an AOSP rom but i don't like them i really like TW. what can i do to restore to stock, downgrade to 4.4.4, or flash vision rom?
for battery life i tried restarting, factory restore, clearing cache and dalvic cache, and formatting everything and re-flashing the rom but nothing seems to work.
if you have any question or need more information please ask. any help is appreciated

Youre stuck on Noterized. Enjoy.
No way out? What if somone gives me their back up?
I was stuck i tried different stock tar files from different sources. Finally found one that work the other tar files kept failing in odin. Your not stuck just go online and find the solution yourself . If it's not affecting anybody else they careless if you fix it man and that's with life too just sayin . Good help hard to come by nowadays
Might wanna go through the Q&As and rethink your post. As to avoid contradicting your post all together, could you at least provide a link to the file that got you unstuck to help in the first place.
I pm'ed the guy already

so what I did was root using odin installed twrp from the playstore and flashed the twrp recovery from the app. once I had recovery I flashed a stock rom from the forum in twrp. that booted up fine then I hooked my phone into the pc and open kies to see if it reconized my phone and it did so I hit the tools tab at the top of the program and clicked on firmware upgrade and initialization and it stared updating my phone back before the oel update

I have a update I flashed off of stock and went back then flashed cm12 and the method I used earlier didn't work I was stuck for 2 hours. I flashed a tw rom in twrp when it finished installing I pulled the battery and flashed the modem from bob firmware and bootloader before I restarted the phone I found a bootloader and modem from bob firmware on the forum flashed both and both failed but from what I cant tell it installed enough for the phone to reboot on back on tw and from there I used kies to get back on stock 2nd time bringing it back very long process just finding the right solution

So i went to twrp flashed hybrid x didnt restart phone i pulled battery and went to odin and flashed the bob bootloader tar and modem tar i found on the forum i flashes both they both failed but one of them flashed about 75% on odin and i rebooted and tw was back then i went to kies upgraded to stock now back on stock.

I personally havent been on OE1. A few people who havent been plagued by this horrible and unnecessary update have been trying to help those who have and are. The guy i mentioned at the bottom(of the post you quoted), those were his steps. But it seems some of the information has changed since that post. Look above this post and he explains the differences whether on TW or non TW rom.
One thing Samsung is telling us though through their actions, if theyre pushing out updates and its not over a GB, i wouldnt take it, or I'd at least wait until seeing the ramifications of the update through other users taking it, which there will always be.
