I did the ofe update, then the v kernel root, then twisted rom and now the phone seems pretty bricked. It will take a flash of anything 5.1.1 (of7 stock, and twisted thru twrp) but both result in booting to a black screen with the blue led pulsing.
this doesn't seem good.
i have tried every combination of kernel's and recoveries and roms available here and they all do the same thing.
it was running great for a few days until a reboot happened and its been a no boot since then.

i have the stock 5.1.1 that is available and have tried that, i think that means there are deeper problems.
Oh, well it seemed to me from your post that you only tried flashing through recovery. If you can't flash a stock rom through odin and download mode, you are probably bricked...

The good news is if you can still flash and get into download mode it is not a brick. I would odin the tar as suggested, it should boot once that is done.
Make sure you're giving it enough time on the first boot as well, it takes awhile to build the caches on the first boot.

What do I do? Sorry for noob question... Also do i just odin back to stock? if so how?
Just boot into recovery, plug in your usb cable to your phone and computer, and flash a stock image using Odin. I would suggest you go ahead and flash a rooted stock image using these instructions.

Ummm Pull your battery for a minute or so. Put batt back in the press power,home and volume up. When you see the blue writing at top of screen relase all 3 buttons.
I had a similar problem, you don't mention which carrier you are on, but I suspect you are using the wrong stock ROM, or an incompatible stock ROM. You need to locate one for your carrier. This is the same problem I had last week.
Same problem.
I'm having the same problem. I followed the no-counter-tripping method to flash a root-injected stock ROM and it worked fine.
I flashed to CM9 and the camera wasn't working, so I used Odin to flash back to the same root-injected stock ROM and now it never finishes booting.
I noticed that flashing to the root-injected ROM didn't delete my apps, which seems strange. I suspect that there's something lingering from CM9 that is causing the loop in stock. I don't know any way to wipe the device and flash only the root-injected ROM, but I'm hoping that will fix it. Is there a way?

Have you tried flashing to stock ROM first (non-rooted)?
I had similar bootloop on GSII and had to go to stock to get it working. then I re-rooted.
So I was able to root phone on w/o issue. I installed CWM via play store then proceeded to attempted to load Cyanogen mod via zip..and oh yeah I didn't wipe phone prior so....Now I have infinite loop issue at boot. I've searched the interwebs looking for any way to get back to stock or anything so I'll be able to use the phone again but have come up short every time. I've tried using ODIN to flash stock image but that fails. I've tried various .tar, .tz and anything else that odin will load w/o success. Will anyone take pity on my stupid ass and lens a hand?

Are you able to boot in recovery? (volume up + home + power). You could wipe and try flashing again (the first boot does take a while).
As for Odin, make sure you're using the right image (.tar) if recovery doesn't work.

So I am able to boot into recovery but it's the stock recovery, not the one I intalled after root.
I've tried flashing stock images, custom images, CWM, TWRP, .TARs all w/o success. In ODIN I've flashed CWM and TWRP and it reports success but upon reboot it goes back to stock recovery and shows now 13 attempts to load custom firmware. I even tried to use Cyanogen,s windows app but even that gets stuck saying it can't communicate w/device. I've tried several driver, hiemdal, (which I can't figure out). What I'd like to do wipe EVERYTHING, like format the phone but I can't seem to remove the Samsung boot loader. Is my phone beyond repair? I'm super bummed, esp since I'm not a total noob when it comes to custom ROMs. I dropped greenpoison on my fist iPhone and had several ROMs on my old Moto Atrix. I think whatever evil Samsiung put on this device is totally screwing me.

Try with a different stock image (debloated if you want a smaller download).
Also, Heimdall installs its own drivers, therefor Odin won't work on the same usb port you've installed Heimdall on.
Even in stock recovery, you should be able to do a factory reset (I think). Chances are that your ROM is corrupted atm though, you can try doing a factory reset and attempt boot. If that doesn't work, go the Odin way.
Bootloaders are not something to play with, it's the only way to hard-brick your phone (and you definitively don't wanna remove those nor stop Odin while it's flashing them, if the .tar contains them).
what about...

I updated the phone via ota to latest android (4.3 ?). And I think the stock image I tried using was 4.1.x. Could it be I need to find a stock 4.3.x image from at&t? Any idea where to get this? I don't think AT&T provides ythis as that is where I got the previous stock image.

Can you check if the image you used had bootloaders? Cause if so, you might have bricked your phone. You can't downgrade bootloaders from 4.3.
The image can be found here or on sammobile.com
Strange
So after flashing my i747 30x via ODIN w/various .tar for boot and recoveries I was briefly able to boot into CWM. Stupidly, I selected the format option and foolishly restarted, intending to boot back into CWM and flash a .zip image. Once I restarted I was locked out of CWM again and can only boot into stock recovery once again. What am I doing wrong? I just can't wrap my head around why every time I flash a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP or Philz's_Touch in OdIn and it reports success, when I restart it just loads Samsung's ****ty stock recovery. I still can't flash a ROM via ODIN but I'm hoping if I can get back into CWM I'll be able to load a new ROM and use my phone again. Anyhelp would be great.

So I think I figured out what I did wrong. Recovery mode = pwr+home+VolUp...Download mode = Pwr+home+VolDown. What an a$$hole I am, I thought Download mode and Recovery were one in the same and flashing TWRP or CWM would replace download mode. Once I figured out that one it was a simple matter to boot into recovery and wipe the drive then flash my rom (Omni 4.4.2 D2att) IDK if it's the rom or all the screwing around I did but it now takes no less than 10 min to boot into android from rom splash. Tried updating Kernel to latest but found it didn't fix problem.

Did you do a clean flash? Sounds like you didn't factory reset.
Make sure you backup your apps before doing so if you wanna keep your app data.
Hello crew, I've recently gotten a Note 4 through sprint. I've been rooting devices since the HTC Magic and have had no bricks. I rooted my Note 4 via Odin 1.85. I flashed the latest twrp and It worked great. This morning my phone was frozen and when I pulled the battery, it boot looped. Figured it was a stock kernel issue with xposed installer. I went back into twrp and it refused to mount the system partition. I can't flash a rom, I can't recover from any of the images I created. I went through the unroot process and flashed the stock recovery back with odin. Now it boots but hangs up at the samsung splash screen for a while then loops. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.
Flash twrp again.

Thank you for the fast response. I did. I tried an older version too just in case it was a bug. No luck. When I used Odin to flash the stock recovery and rom back it starts to boot past the black and white Note 4 screen then gets to the samsung splash screen and it just hangs there. I cleared the cache and did a factory reset in the stock recovery.

OEL? I don't understand why It won't mount the system partition in twrp. I had no initial issues at all. I even flashed a Cyanogenmod nightly. It's still early and wasn't very stable so I went back to a backup I made. worked fine. I was back to rooted stock. Then the next day it froze and here I am.

Yep... OE1... Samsung's latest bit of terrorist activity.
Read through the general and help threads... You'll see.
Try notarized rom (search) and then wait for the next official release (5.1.1?) .

Yes, also noticed OP's Odin 1.85 is old.
To OP: CF Auto Root comes bundled with the recommended Odin. I think we're using 3.07 or 3.09 but 3.07 is recommended to uncheck the auto-boot so user can pull USB and battery after flashing custom recovery over OE1 so it sticks.
I also recommend flashing root tar and rebooting as chain fire recommends. "If you don't get to the red Android logo, boot into recovery manually ("adb reboot recovery", or boot while holding Power+VolUp+Home)."
Once booted, see what build you have.

Is the OH1 bootloader compatible with custom roms that require nd8?
I want to put Wicked S5 Xperience on my SIII but it says must have nd8 bootloader and I did the ota to OH1 and rerooted w/ twrp and supersu.

Hey all,
Answered my own question. Successfully installed wicked s5 xperience 2.2 (wih requires nd8) without a hitch. basically I followed the step by step with exception to. I used twrp... wich they dont support. I did a dirty flash... worked fine but all my old settings were still there, So I did a Proper clean flash and all is good. Way better modem.... than OH1. I have signal and data in places I used to not get.
Hope this helps anyone else.
I have a question, how did you go about installing a custom ROM with OH1.
I can't seem to use Odin to install TWRP. It says success but when I try to 'adb reboot recovery', it just goes to the stock recovery. Any idea on how to install a custom recovery?

Did you
Hold power button to turn off your S3, after it turns off about 10 seconds later it will turn back on to the battery charging screen so before that quickly hold Volume+ and Home, to boot into recovery.
I got from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2787771
If odin says success it should boot to twrp.
Once I was in twrp I just installed my downloaded ROM. You probably will want to do a wipe first to have a clean flash.

I ended up having to do that. For some reason Odin wasn't kicking me into recovery so I had to boot into recovery myself. Another issue that I noticed was that TWRP couldn't root stock firmware. It would install SuperSU but wouldn't install the su binary. I ended up just installing AICP.
Thanks for the help.

Hi...Please can you get an OH1 modem for me? My phone has no service and im running android 6.0.1
I've tried factory resetting from recovery and through the rom. In recovery it goes through the factory reset with no errors, but the tablet never actually factory resets. I get the android is upgrading message before it boots into android. The tablet stays on for 3-5 minutes before rebooting. Running stock rom since day one never beet rooted.

That is weird. If you want you can download stock firmware from sammobile.com, Samsung Universal USB drivers, and Odin3 to reflash the stock ROM again. That should take care of it.
Or...
You can grab gr8nole's TWRP recovery and flash it with Odin, then download one of the modified stock ROMs available and flash it through TWRP. I have a really awesome ROM on here you can try if you'd like. It has all of the best mods from various devs around the forums and is very customizable.

Ya, it should be that easy but it isn't working for some odd reason. I'm guessing it was an update that caused the issue, it goes to the android is upgrading screen before booting every time the tablet reboots. Any other options for installing another rom without download mode?

Sorry, was doing some modding and didn't see your post. We need to root it so we can flash recovery using dd commands. I haven't tried this because I rooted with TWRP, but the bootloader is unlocked so try kingroot and see if you can root it. If so, we can install twrp without download mode.
