Hello guys,
I'm running a i9195 LTE version with CM10.2.3 stable and CWM recovery.
I saw that there were new firmwares available for our phone so I decided to update it, without thinking much. I'm already regretting this decision, as after updating with Odin, the phone rebooted and got stuck at the samsung logo.
What should I do now? The Odin flash went fine, I got the pass at the end..
edit: ok, i can access the recovery. So should I re install CWM and then the rom again?
edit2: i got it, so I should have updated the modem instead of the firmware.. next steps?
If you can go to download mode, you should install CWM recovery again and then the CM ROM again.
Next update the modem only!

Yup, this is what I did, had to factory reset though.. oh well, lesson learned (hopefully).
You can close the thread.

Merry Christmas everyone. I tried to resolve this issue my self but was unable to. I had stock 4.3 rooted and flashed MOAR. MD5 matched. Everything seemed ok but when I flashed, it was stuck on "updating apps" for over 20 min. I did a battery pull. My phone started and I was able to go to TWRP recovery. I did a cache wipe and factory reset with plans of reflashing but everything was gone, including my nandroid. I tried to flash stock firmware from http://samsung-updates.com/ it said "failed". I cannot get back into TWRP. Is there any way I can restore to 4.1.2? Or 4.3? I just want to get the phone working again. Ideally I would like to get root back but my main priority is obviously just to get the phone working. Thank you.

I had a similar bad expreience with updating my rooted S3,
to recover your phone try to get md5 recovery room and install it using odin, try to get the one that called recovery (runs stock 4.0.4) then you can update by Kies to 4.3.
If stock means the Samsung update you need to flash the 4.3 firmware. If stock means the de-Knoxed version from here, I would start by flashing a new recovery image then reinstalling the de-Knoxed one.
Can you not get into any recovery at all?

When I press the volume up, home and power button it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again."
I installed the de-knoxed version..I would like to go back to the de-knoxed version if possible. Is there a way to flash new recovery image through ODIN...again, I'm not very confident in my abilities right now and don't want to flash anything to make it worse. Would it be possible to send me a link with what to flash. Thank you
Sorry I meant rom not room, but youv still can get it from the dev "room" forums. I got it from there.
sorry I cant post links here yet, i dont have the enough posts, but google "unroot sprint galaxy s3" it's one of he first links and once you get the md5 file you can use it with Odin, it's a simple process.
fixed it
Fixed it, got to keep root also. Flashed a new recovery image through ODIN (link for recovery in case anyone else needs it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38079994). Then flashed ROM. Thanks for your help guys.
Hi, i had been on cm 11 and it was running 4.4.2. I had already done an OTA update to get on kitkat, so i wasnt wrried about doing another by cm. So i did the update and when my phone rebooted after it just had finished, the phone doesn't want to start. Its been hanging on the samsung galaxy s4 startup screen and refuses to change. I pulled the battery many times out. What should i do?
Hey can someone please help me out, i cant get on my phone at all.I also did a factory reset data wipe on my recovery and it still hasnt worked.
If your phone is stuck at the screen that reads "Samsung Galaxy S4", then it is probably having trouble booting or reading the system partition. Do you remember what Android version you were on prior to installing CM 11?

Ok, I think you may have to flash back to Samsung's 4.2.2 firmware and flash CM 11 again via custom recovery.
Here is 4.2.2 tar. Flash it with Odin:
http://k0nane.info/rom/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip
After flashing, you may be stuck on a bootloop. Simply, factory reset/wipe data in recovery mode. This will wipe data and internal storage. Once it boots correctly, download the latest CM11 build.

Oh, I am not sure. You can use JOdin3: https://builds.casual-dev.com/jodin3/
It requires Java. A developer was able to get Odin working and even on a web browser. It might not work due to the large file size of the download, though.
Hey guys, I flashed a Custom Rom, Slimkat. Via CWM, but I wanted to come back from Slimkat to my official rom. I came back successfully to my official Rom, then I like a mod and wanted to flash it, all done. But when I try to go into Recovery mode it opens stock recovery only! But I didn't gave up, I flashed the CWM again via Odin as before. But it opens stock recovery only! Please help me guys. Thanks in advance.

In my case, when I install CWM recovery using odin, it installs sucessfully, but when my phone reboots after the download, and then I try going to the recovery, I still get the official Stock recovery.

Not only you, many other users like us got the same problem.
When we install CWM using Odin with Auto-Reboot turned on, it says pass and reboots the phone. But when we go to the recovery mode, the Stock recovery is still present there.
Secondly, when we try installing CWM using Odin with Auto-Reboot unchecked, the phone freezes on the downloading screen after downloading it, so we have to remove the battery, put it back inside, and go to the recovery. At that time we can see CWM recovery, but when we reboots system and then later when we have to come back to recovery more, the stock recovery pops up again.
This kind of problems are being faced by many Samsung Galaxy Grand duos GT-19082 users.
It would be really appreciated if someone knows the solution and could help us.
Thanks!
So I had 4.4 stock TouchWiz, then installed TWRP recovery and CM11. Then I wanted back to stock again but TWRP doesn't seem to want to flash anything. It just says Failed. Tried wiping everything, ended up wiping the OS... just trying to get stock back going.
You have the i747 or i747m?
Twrp cannot flash a stock ROM unless that ROM was compiled to be flashed in twrp.
If you have the 4.3 or 4.4.2 bootloader, do not attempt to downgrade the bootloader.
What bootloader is on your phone?

Sorry, i747 AT&T version.
How do I tell which bootloader I have? When I try to boot it looks stock, just stays on the s3 logo. When I boot into download mode it's a Cyanogen guy.
Last working version of ROM I had was TouchWiz-based 4.1. I found on here but I did have CM11 and stock 4.4. before that.
Did you update your phone via OTA to get to 4.4.2? It's important to know so we can give guidance in terms of what can and cannot be flashed to your phone.
What cyanogen guy do you see in download? You mean the green Android dude?
Do this: copy CM10.2 to your external SD card, boot into TWRP and flash the ROM from the external SD card. If the flash is successful but the ROM gets stuck at the boot animation, boot into TWRP and wipe the cache, dalvik, and reboot.
Sorry for such a late reply! Been messing with other stuff lately, not enough time for my phone..
Anyhow,

Yes, I did update to 4.4.2 OTA.
When I boot into download it says bootloader rp swrev 3. When I said earlier I thought I had the cyanogen guy when booting into download mode I had it wrong. Download mode is still just the Android guy. I was talking about recovery which I have TWRP, with the Cyanogen guy (?).
When I just try to reboot the phone regularly it gets stuck on the SIII logo.
I tried installing CM10 like you said from my SD card and the install fails.
Any other ideas of what I can try?
Thanks!!
OK I installed CM11 and that's working.
At least I have a working ROM.
Originally the only reason I tried going back to stock from CM11 was so that I could have access to Galaxy Apps for my Gear 2.
I will fool with going back to stock later possibly.
Thanks again for your help, audit13.

Not related to your original post but if you dig enough you can probably find a form of Galaxy Apps that'll work on CM11! Or you could possibly rip the APK and get it to work.
This may work for you, but I don't own a Gear 2 so I'm not 100% sure.

Hi all,
I've looked through several of the existing threads on the Note 8 and I've not gotten anywhere yet. I had the device happily rooted and working for months and then, stupid me, I used ROM manager to flash a new ROM this morning and on boot, it's stuck on the logo.
I CAN get to the recovery menu, but reset to factory default does nothing. I have wiped the cache from recovery and then tried to factory reset again; still stuck on logo at boot.
I can also get to download mode and have tried using KIES 2.6 (since KIES 3 is for Android 4.4.2 and up) and every time I try to do the update firmware/recovery, it starts, stops and says 'there is a problem with the download file' and then it quits.
I have tried using ODIN 3.7 and a few different recovery files but although it will say 'passed', on reboot, it's stuck on the logo.
Can someone help me, please? This is the only tablet I own and I really need it to not be a door stop
:crying:
not bricked yet, maybe. for now, try to download latest firmware from sammobile.com for n5110 and use odin to flash it.
about the factory reset of course it would still boot loop, you are trying to factory reset a bootlooped rom so it doesnt matter. you should flash a new zip through recovery.

Hi Mr.201,
Thank you for the suggestion. Question, when you say download the latest firmware, will it matter if I don't use the original? I ask because I've been trying to find the original firmware (stock) and while I've found many sites with GT-N5110 FW's, they are all coded for other countries; I can't seem to find one for US. So, if I use a newer firmware, will that work?
I can still get to recovery mode and download mode. I don't know if USB debugging is on, though, which I hope won't matter at this point. I can't remember if it was on when it died on me.
I appreciate your advice! Hopefully, I can get this thing going again. That would certainly make me a happy camper!
For some reason, the US version is labelled as "Cellular South" but in general, any 5110 rom will work, although there are some quirks with wifi frequencies between the North American and European roms.
My Note 8 got stuck in a boot loop. It was rooted/custom recovery/custom ROM. I tried some of things you did, and nothing worked. I ended up downloading and installing the ODIN one click recovery/un-rooted stock image from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2773712
This restores everything to stock (including the recovery). After flashing, it was still stuck in the boot loop. I booted into the factory recovery, and did a data wipe. After doing that, my note is working now. So ... doing this might be worth a try.
May I make a suggestion when flashing firmware... If you are flashing to something notreviously installed on the device. First flash with philz recovery and perform a full wipe for flashing new ROM. This way everything is clean for your flash to work properly.
A factory reset is not going to work as well for the new flash to take.
