Hey everyone looking for some help with my friends 32gb s6. He rooted the device last year with no custom recovery (googled and does not remember the site), installed rooted apps and the device was working fine. months later he decided to unroot and go back to stock. Everything was working fine until last week when out of the blue the device went into a boot loop. I told him at take a crack at it and see if i can help. The device does not go into recovery but it does go into download mode. The device does not power down and the battery eventually dies after many many boot loops. I tried to flash BOL1 as he told me that he was on 5.1.1, via odin (3.10.7)and it failed to flash. I was able to get a PIT file from within here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/help/help-galaxy-s6-sm-g920p-t3287963 so this is what i have noticed. If i flash the PIT file and reboot, the device goes into recovery. I then did a full wipe and cleared cache but the device keeps going into the boot loop. I see the samsung logo, then the green android screen and thats it as the device boot loops. I attempted to flash BOJ7 but it failed to flash. The way i can get a TAR file to flash is to flash the PIT file and then the TAR file but the device keeps going into the boot loop. I was able to flash both BOL1 and BOJ7 but experience the same results. I had the most success with BOJ7 after flashing twice but i had to place the device into download mode for me to flash a second time. The device made it past the first samsung screen, i saw the sammy splash screen and then it went into update 1 of 9.....made it to update 3 and then wham back to boot loop. That is as far as i got once I have also noticed that when i flash a TAR file when the device reboots i see the android screen loading the OS and it makes it about a quarter before it says "Erasing" and then the device goes into the boot loop. I have tried various BOL1 and BOJ7 files from the sammobile site and from within what i have found here at XDA but still no luck. I am not sure what else i can do which is why i am asking for help from you fine folks Any help is greatly appreciated.
****Resolved*****
flashed PIT and BOJ7 file from last update here http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/help/help-galaxy-s6-sm-g920p-t3287963 device still boot looped. I let it sit for a while and then just flashed BOJ7 again without the PIT. Let it boot loop again until BAM began to load. In all prob took about 20 mins of just letting it do its thing, who knew....
Did you try recover it via Smart Switch?

I've got a Galaxy Tab P5210 that's stuck in a constant boot loop. I flashed it with the correct stock firmware from SamMobile using Odin, but it fails to boot properly. It automatically boots to the stock recovery screen, but the problem is it will instantly reboot as soon as it reaches this screen. I see the dead android with the red triangle and exclamation point for just a second, and it instantly reboots. Is that normal? I don't think that's normal. From what I've been reading, this screen is supposed to stay there until you push the volume keys to bring up a menu, but it reboots so fast that I don't have a chance to even push anything.
I've tried flashing it with other recovery images. I tried using CWM, and it almost worked. With that, as soon as the tablet booted, I'd see the CWM splash screen, and it would instantly reboot. Similarly to how it's booting now but with stock recovery.
I'd like to point out that I've never messed with anything like this before. I work in a computer/small electronic repair shop and a customer brought it to me. She ended up getting into stock recovery and a friend of hers did some serious damage in there which prevented it from booting properly. Normally we don't mess with things like this but, with it being how it was, I figured there was no way I could make it even worse than it already is by working on it. I thought if I flashed the original stock firmware back to it, it would fix it, but that looks like a no-go since it's still booting the same way it was when she first brought it to me.
Is this thing completely broken or is there still hope for it?
No - it should be recoverable. However - any data will most likely be lost.
When you flash with Odin, make sure only F. Reset Time is checked. Use Odin 3.07. Make sure again that firmware is correct before you flash. After it flashes, power off and then on again
Latest KK firmware for the US version of the 5210 is P5210UEU0CNK1_P5210XAR0CNK1_HOME.TAR
Good luck. If you're trying to root, then there are threads in the 10.1 Dev section that should help
M,
this firmware was always my goto for device recovery/restoration https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490005046

Not interested in rooting, just wanna get the stock firmware back on. Maintaining data isn't a necessity, the customer just wants it back in working order. I tried using that firmware, but I had Auto-Reboot checked.
EDIT
Yeah, it's still doing the same thing. When I first boot it up post-firmware flash I see an Android with a loading bar underneath it, and then it reboots. When it boots again, I see the same Android and then it suddenly changes to the dead one with the red triangle. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong here with the button presses following the flash?
EDIT2
It looks to me like the stock recovery image is just broken, since the tablet just automatically reboots the instant it attempts to load it up. Flashing a new firmware replaces that though, so I don't know how or why it would even be corrupted. Odin reports no errors, so I don't know what's going on. And every guide I'm reading with fixing bootloops all say "go into stock recovery and clear the cache", but I can't even boot into stock recovery. It's like it's not even there. And I know it's not a power button issue causing it to shut down, I can power the device off fully with it, and it will stay off until I press it again. I'm banging my head against the desk here.
What if you flashed a TWRP recovery in Odin. Then if that's successful, boot into recovery and wipe/format everything except ext SD, Then try the ODIN flash again with filr your stock tar
I'm having the same problem and that didn't work for me. It shows the twrp splash screen and reboots. I'm looking for the .pit file it has to be the recovery partition right?

Hi Guys hoping someone can help me out.
One of my friends who should know better decided to try and flash a custom rom to his N7105 trouble is he used a n7100 twrp which apparently installed and then tried to flash a n7100 rom .
Now his phone is stuck in a boot loop, it sometimes gets as far as the animated boot logo with the blue led pulsing depending on what I last did to it lol. I can get into both download and recovery and the power button isn't stuck.
I don't know what stock version the phone was one when he started messing with it and he is vague about everything HE tried to do to fix it before I got my hands on it. Its entirely possible it was on 4.1.2 to start off with and he's tried to go straight to lollipop does the 7105 need to update in increments? or could he have put a n7100 bootloader on somehow but flashing stock via Odin should fix that right?
I have a memory of people having this sort of problem years ago with HTC and it ended up being a mismatch between the modem and baseband versions or something like that, thoughts?
Here's what I've tried
Odin flash CF-Auto root as it restores stock recovery at least now the PC detects it as t0lte not t03g
1) Recovery wipe data and cache - now only gets as far as the initial samsung galaxy note II screen
2) Odin flashing a 4.1.2 rom from sammobile - no go "unsupported" so has a knox bootloader
3) Odin flashing a 4.3 rom from sammobile - hangs on animated boot logo with the blue led pulsing
tried 1 again same result
4) Odin flashing a 4.4.2 rom from sammobile - hangs on animated boot logo with the blue led pulsing
tried 1 again same result
5) Install firmware via Kies - hangs on animated boot logo with the blue led pulsing
tried 1 again same result
Odin Flash proper version of twrp 2.8.7.0
6)Fix permissions in TWRP - says sucessfull but also has "E: unable to mount data" etc back to the initial galaxy note II screen
7) Flash custom rom via twrp - hangs on animated boot logo with the blue led pulsing
tried 1 again same result
I'm running out of ideas and patience with this thing does anyone have any other ideas for me to try?
After leaving the phone for a while to prevent me from smashing it into a million bits with the biggest hammer I could find I got it working tonight.
Charged the phone up I had to disconnect and reconnect a few times as it said it was 100% on the full screen battery picture then in recovery it said 18% or something
I re-flashed N7105XXUFNL2_N7105H3GFOD1_H3G from sammobile using Odin 1.85 along with the PIT file from this thread checking re-partition (I used a pit file otherwise I'd leave this alone), Auto Reboot, F.Reset time and Phone Bootloader update. This seemed to take longer than previous flashes.
Flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0
formatted Data in TWRP (the advanced one where you have to type yes to confirm). Previously Data was unmountable so I assume the long flash fixed something there.
Wiped cache in TWRP
and rebooted and waited ages and it came to life
was trying to odin back to stock and now i'm stuck on boot logo
i'm running t800, canadian. I've tried 2 different ones and neither are loading
T800XWU1BOL1_T800ILO1BOL1_HOME.tar.md5
T800XXU1BOL1_T800XAC1BOK1_HOME.tar.md5
T800XXU1BOCC_T800XAC1BOC4_HOME.tar.md5
T800XXU1BOE2_T800XAC1BOC4_HOME.tar.md5
Can anyone point me to one that may work? I've spent so much time trying to find these downloads and waiting hours for them to complete off of sammobile that my eyes are bleeding.
I'm able to reboot to download mode and odin sees the option to try flash something. Both the files above progress successfully, however I'm met with a samsung logo that doesn't progess any further. Let the tablet sit for up to 20 minutes and nothing.
help?
Boot to recovery and wipe the data partition.
Reboot will take around 10mins afterwards.

I tried to get to recovery. No matter what button configuration I do when trying to boot the tablet, I only get to a samsung boot logo that sits, or download mode.
edit: I let the tablet sit until the battery died from the boot logo loop. Charged her up again and tried to boot into recovery. Was able to this time. Wiped data like you said, works!!! Thank you!
Hi guys, relatively new here.
To start of I wouldn't say that I'm a complete noob when it come to this sort of stuff but I'm at a bit of a loss here.
To sum up my issue real quick;
My Galaxy Tab 3 SM-t210r running 4.1.2 stock that I rooted a while back started acting strange. Google services begun to unexpectedly shut off or stop working and I was getting annoying os popups so I decided to install a new custom, debloated rom.
After a few quick google searched ended up downloading StockROM-Ultimate Edition for the t210r.
Launched into TWRP 2.8.0.0 recovery, did a wipe and installed said zip of rom.
Now the issue that arose here is that I can't seem to boot into the os at all. Upon restarting or powering off and on I am greeted with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 splash screen, it hangs there for about 10-20 seconds, reboots(screen goes black?) that same splash screen shows up and I'm booted back into TWRP.
After countless googles searches I decided to unroot and go back to stock FW.
I've found the correct 4.1.2 stock rom on sammobile. Opened up Odin 3.07 and flashed. Everything goes good, Odin says RESET, tablet reboots, same two Samsung Galaxy screens and I'm back into TWRP. Odin indicating PASS! after a few seconds in twrp. Whether I reset to factory setting in TWRP or not, after flash, I'm always ending up in TWRP with the os never booting.
tldr; stuck in TWRP boot loop after custom rom and even stock rom flash.
Any assistance would be great

Hello everyone,
My phone (S4 mini GT-I9195) decided all of a sudden to stop working. I couldn't boot it, charge it, nothing but a black screen. After some research on the world wide web, I came to the conclusion that it might be "bricked", as the cool kids call it. I came upon a guide on this website that seemed promising: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600869
I followed the instructions, found a debrick.img corresponding to my GT-I9195, put it on a sd card and managed to boot the phone.
Next was entering Download mode and flash with a stock firmware via Odin (v3.09). I used a 4.4.2 firmware I found on Sammobile (I9195XXUCNK4_I9195QXZCOA1_XEF) corresponding to my region and phone.
Everything went fine with Odin, I waited until it said "PASS!" and rebooted the phone.
The next step was to enter Recovery mode, and that's where I have a problem. I use the combination "Volume up + Home + Power" to enter it, it vibrates once, shows me the Samsung logo (+ model) with "Recovery booting...." written in blue on the top left corner, I release all the buttons, and after a few seconds, it goes to a black screen, it vibrates twice and reboot on the Samsung logo, but without the "Recovery booting..." message on top left corner. After that, it enters a bootloop that only ends when I remove the battery.
So, I can never enter the recovery mode (I tried multiple times, with different methods, such as releasing only the power button, but to no avail) and cannot complete the debrick guide. I tried different stock firmwares but always with the same result.
Did I do something wrong? What can I do differently to enter recovery mode? Should I prepare the funeral for my phone?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
You should try flashing cwm with odin, then formating your system partition, if you can externally put a rom on your memory card then do so, after that install that rom on your phone, if that doesn't work then try flashing your stock firmware after you had done everything...Of course I don't know if any of this will work because I haven't run into a issue like this before, though one time my recovery was blocked and flashing cwm on it fixed it, instead of flashing stock firmware I went for cyanogenmod (now lineage os) so it might work for you, who knows.
Well, first of all, thank you for your leads.
Secondly, as you suggested, I tried flashing with Odin, with CMW (6.0.4.6 and 6.0.5.1). It went smoothly in Download mode, I get the green PASS!, but just as before, when it reboots in Recovery mode, it doesn't go beyond the blue "Recovery booting...." step, instead, the dreaded bootloop begins.
I also tried flashing with TWRP (3.0.2.0), but unfortunately no change...
And without any custom recovery, I cannot try the lineage os.
I'm begining to feel the end ^^

I have TWRP on my mini. When I first flashed TWRP (3.0.2.1) via Odin, I had to manually boot into recovery by holding VolUp+Home+Power as soon as I see PASS!, BEFORE the phone automatically reboots.
I have to try this a couple times to get TWRP to stick. From what I read, if you let the phone boot automatically after flashing from Odin, it will automatically overwrite the new flash with stock Samsung recover (which is bad in your case.) So you have to interrupt this by a manual reboot before the phone does its thing. If you are successful, you should boot directly into TWRP on the manual reboot. From then on TWRP will overwrite the stock recovery and you will be good to go.
I find the timing of this manual reboot a bit tricky on the phone. Do it too soon, and the TWRP was not flashed, a second too late, and the phone boots to stock. I had to try that a few times to get it right. Basically, be ready with the buttons and press it the instant you see PASS! So maybe you can try flashing TWRP again before giving up.
I have encountered the same problems today. After waking up, my phone (S4 Mini) told me an update (17 MB) was available. Happy about still getting updates, I started the process and the telephone rebooted. When returning ten minutes later it was all dark and wouldn't respond to any button combination. After working through a lot of threads and forums, trying to fix the problem, I managed to get a debrick image for the phone as well as the right firmware from Sammobile (which is astonishingly the same one that paupiette uses, though I'm from Germany, but the phone seems to have a French regional code).
At first I wasn't able to get to the Download Mode, instead my phone always told me this while denying my attempts to flash it:
BOOTE RECOVERY MODE
CHECK BOOT PARTITIONS..
COPY FROM T-FLASH..
BOOT RECOVERY..
WRITE 139008 sectors..
FLASH WRITE FAILURE
ddi: mmc_read failed

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0

Nothing seemed to work and some other topics on different forums blamed the internal flash chip (eMMC) to be the cause for all the trouble. I gave up on my phone, loosening the skrews on the back to get a look on the board. Before ripping apart the last bits, I tried to start the Download Mode one more time, so I put in the battery and hold the three buttons. Et voilà - the phone came up with that white booting screen. It was looping this process over and over as paupiette had allready described. I managed to start the Download Mode and flash with Odin3 (v3.12). A green "PASS!" told be, it worked until it began to enter the loop of rebooting again unable to enter the Recovery Menu.
So close but yet so far away from what I want.
Any new ideas or suggestions?
