So I was running Slimbean 6.2 weekly with ktoonez 6.8 kernel and decided to go into recovery (CWM Touch 6.0.3) to fix permissions and clear cache since I was having some battery drain issues. After I hit fix permissions it started to do so and then all of a sudden my phone rebooted and gets stuck at the splash screen. Went back into recovery to try and fix permissions again same thing happens. Tried clearing cache and doing a normal reboot still stuck at splash screen. I tried doing a factory reset but it keeps rebooting right when it gets to formatting data. So essentially I can do anything aside from format data so I am guessing there's some corrupt file there that's keeping me from formatting it. I've tried installing different ROM's that I have on my SD card but they always get stuck at the splash screen. Doing a restore doesn't work as once it gets to restoring data the phone reboots. I checked report error or something along those lines in CWM Advanced and it said can't format /emmc which I'm not sure what that means.
I've looked around but haven't been able to find any information on how to fix this. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Ok go into CWM wipe cache, wipe dalvik and do factory reset. Then flash any rom which you have on your phone storage. Does this work?

Start from scratch. Install 4.1.2 Stock and flash ROM of your choice.

You never mentioned you started over by installing 4.1.2 Stock and then tried flashing ROM again, only that you went into recovery numerous times. Download Mode and Odin to Stock is what I was getting at. Then... Flashing 4.2.2

Ah I'm sorry, misunderstood what you were referring to. I haven't used Odin since I first rooted the phone a year ago. I imagine its rather self explanatory to use ?

Even better, download one of the Odin 1-clicks. Connect your phone, open the 1-click and stand back while it does its magic.
EDIT: Here http://rwilco12.com/Files/Devices/S...ooted/SPH-L710_MD4_1130792_Rooted_Restore.exe
Click that and it will start downloading. When it's finished, connect your phone while in download mode and then run the .exe
Step 2: Profit
Indeed. Odin One Click is another, and better, alternative.

downloading now to give it a shot, thanks for the quick replies
so I used the one click odin file but it didn't do anything that I can tell. All it seemed to do was check the md5 sum which came back successful and thats it. Do I need a stock rom file as well with this? Sorry for the noob questions
edit: nevermind, I didn't realize I needed to have odin up and running before connecting the phone, doh
the one click odin file worked! thank you so much for the quick replies and helping me out!

It is worth the trouble if...
A. You know what you are doing.
B. You read and research.
C. You know how to recover in the event something goes wrong.
Flashing isn't for everyone. Even if you follow directions things can still go wrong in rare situations. That's just the nature of flashing.

It has been rumored that Samsung will not warrant the device if it is bricked but if the power button breaks they would most likely repair it.

Hi
I dont know what really happen to your device but here some things that might help.
1. Get the latest twrp zipfile should be 2.6.3
2. Unpack in a New directory on your PC - in this directory should be 2 files - one ODIN and one TWRP
3. Use the ODIn in that new directory only this Odin version will work.
4 load the TWRP file into ODIN
5 The only Oding Setting which should be changed is the Auto Re-Boot Option switch it off.
6 Than start the Load Process be patient can Take up to 6 Min.
This works i did it myself if any further question feel free to ask - ih this has helped a thanks would be nice-
Good Luck

I was trying to install viper4android and it got out of hand. i decided to factory reset then restore a backup i had made earlier, when i try to do this it says it failed and then It asks me if i want to install supersu but i already have it installed so i put no. Also when i try to reboot it says Set Warranty Bit: kernel on the top right. What can i do? everytime i try to reboot it gets stuck there. Also on a possibly unrelated note the backup was compressed when i made it, do i need to decompress the file?

Thats what I did until I could install the factory image. I dont believe in sideloading OTA's. Especially when rooted. Had that OTA modded the boot.img you would boot loop until you reload the proper boot image or modded kernel.

Good to know, so installing the factory image will wipe device correct? Or will it just upgrade? If it wipes it, will i be able to re-root using the boot-to-root method? If it doesn't wipe will it break root?

I know, when I switch to 5.1.1 it gets stuck in a boot loop. Do I have to factory reset in order to go to 5.1.1?

No, you should be using odin to get to 5.1.1. Make sure ypu uncheck reboot after flash and power the phone all the way down (go ahaead pull battery) and the power uP. If you dont power cycle flash doesnt take.

If you were unlocking the device (got twrp installed and supersu) and its looping the u just need flash any PERMISSIVE compatible kernel.

I did use odin, but after I installed the 5.1.1 and tried to start my phone, it just kept staying in the boot loop. So I had to re-instlal 6.0.1 in order to get back on my phone.

hmmm could have been alot of things. Maybe just a corrupt flash or dm verity fail . Or it could be somthing as simple as failing to power down immediatly after flashing. Part of the unlock process causes loop but not on verizon screen it does it after galaxy note 4 screen. if you flashed the firmware with the 6.0.1 bootloader but the 5.1.1 firmware and you werenot unlocked might do that. Ummm yeah man its totally possible to get back to 5.1.1 still . If i was you id double check all the files you flashed making sure its not your bad. Then id check the firmware i flashed making sure its metadata checksum is what its supposed to be . or you could always stay put at marshmellow ....its not the worse possible outcome nor is it the best . up to you, it gets easier with practice . I had the note 3 too exact same procedure so it feels easy because ive done it alot. The first time is a sketchy nerve racking nightmare and i wouldnt blame ya if ya backed off the unlock.

yes, its going to unlock the bootloader and for doing that it has to write those files on the sd card.
