Problem Restoring Stock on SM-T705 - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to re-install STOCK ROM on SM-T705. I was previously running Lineage OS 14 with TWRP Recovery.
Downloaded the Stock ROM and used ODIN to reinstall the ROM. On reboot, it first showed the android Logo restoring OS and then on reboot, is stuck on Samsung logo. The tablet vibrates periodically, but nothing happens. Have waited for couple of hours.
I encountered similar problem last time when installing Lineage OS. At that time, I got around this by flashing TWRP via ODIN. But I do want to go to Stock Recovery.
I can get the tablet back into ODIN mode.
Any help is most appreciated. My overall experience in installing ROM and Rooting, etc is very limited.

My SM-T700 was in same situation but i was able to fix it by re-flashing twrp then doing full data format, then after that format the cache partitions, then odin flash the factory firmware.
After doing that booted to the factory setup wizard. Hope this helps you out of your situation

Issue resolved. Please close the thread
I managed to fix the issue. I tried flashing another ROM from Sammobile and lower version of ODIN and did the patching and it started working. I guess had a bad ROM downloaded from SAMMOBILE.

[Q] Note II keeps booting into recovery mode

Hey guys,
I apologize if this has been asked and resolved a thousand times already. I've searched through this sub-forum and the threads on it didn't seem to have a solution that worked for me.
The issue: I just recently flashed CM 12 Nightly and Gapps, along with changing recovery from CWM to TWRP. I flashed TWRP via Odin, then installed CM 12 and Gapps via TWRP. I was able to get into CM 12 ONCE and it worked just fine, but when I restarted my phone after the initial flash, it now just constantly boots into TWRP.
To clarify for those that might wonder: I can get into TWRP and download mode just fine. I just...can't get beyond them.
What I've tried: I found these instructions - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21301573&postcount=3
However I can't get ADB to find my device as I can't actually boot it into the OS. If I should be going about this a different way then please let me know.
I've also tried reflashing the recovery, reflashing the ROM and Gapps, reflashing my old ROM and Gapps, wiping Dalvik, cache, and data partition (both via TWRP and Odin), pulling the battery and starting as normal, booting into download mode and then rebooting from there.
All of the above has got me no luck so far.
If any of you have any suggestions then I would be very grateful. Cheers.
I managed to get back into my phone by flashing my carrier's stock ROM via Odin, worked a treat.
Time to start again!

Help Needed With Flashing After Bootloop

I recently flashed CM12.1 on my S3. I was running rooted stockmod 4.3. Everthing went fine. I made a nandroid first. I was able to flash back to with my nandroid and then back to a nandroid of CM12. I tried to flash back again and booted into Touchwiz ROM with no Google services and most of many (too) many apps gone. I then tried to flash back to my CM12 Lollipop nandroid in recovery and got stuck in a bootloop. I could not get past the the Teamwin screen.
Even though my USB port is dicey I was able to use ODIN on my pc to flash back to stockmod_root 66. I then installed TWRP using TWRP manager on device. This went fine.
I then tried to flash back to CM12 in recovery using my nanback but the phone reboots after a few seconds with any task, even just wiping partitions. I am also now getting an error message after trying to load the same stockmod I used successfully earlier. The message is in Chinese so I have no idea what it says.
Any hope here?
Edit: I managed to load the stock image in ODIN and it is flashing now. Still do not understand what did wrong so as not to be able to restore my nan back of CM12. Was there a problem with my installation of TWRP with TWRP manager?
Thanks

Help flashing back to stock, tried everything.

Hi, i'm having trouble flashing back to stock.
I've got the latest stock firmware from sammobile.
Using twrp to install it says missing META-INF as the firmware zip isn't made the same as custom firmware.
Adding the tar.md5 to ap in odin flashes the boot and recovery but goes extremely slow when it starts flashing system (left it 2 hours and it hadn't even got half way) I'm guessing that's not normal.
I took a backup with twrp before I started flashing in twrp which flashes fine but I get endless boot loop when trying to start it.
I've tried fastboot but it doesn't detect the tablet.
I've tried different usb ports, cables, different versions of odin and different stock firmware. I'm ready to throw it out the window.
One thing to note is the [P600][Touchwiz] Marshmallow Rom 20170622 works great but also boot loops when I turn it off and on again, I have to boot into twrp then choose reboot in there and then it boots ok, that doesn't work with my twrp backup though.
Anything I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.
Well for some reason after installing marshmallow rom again then installing my backup it boots fine, havn't a clue why it failed to boot the other 4 times.
Nope
Back to continuous boot loop after second reboot.
All I did was turned developer options off and it's boot looping again.
Flashed original stock boot.tar.md5 and recovery.tar.md5 then factory reset and wiped cache but still boot loops.
Is it because I flashed a Marshmallow custom rom so it so you can't downgrade to a lolipop rom even though it's stock? Boot loader changed? Kernel?

I'm not quite sure what your problem is but you should be able to downgrade, I've done it before.
Try this guide first. I've had success with it.
If all goes well you can then try to flash your stock ROM. The one I've flashed successfully in the past is the one in this post.
Good luck!
You may need to repartition your system. Tick the repartition in Odin. **All data will be lost**

Thanks, I followed the guide in that post and it flashed ok then I finally managed to flash the latest stock!

Think my phone is bricked...

So, i tried to use an OTA update from Lineage to update to the latest version. I tried to let it go by itself, without going into TWRP and flashing it manually. Now its stuck in a loop of the lineage boot animation, and i cant load into TWRP. Any ideas? Can i flash a rom from a usb connection to a pc, and how would i go about that?
Im using an shg-m919
Download the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com and flash it using Odin. Make sure you factory reset before booting the phone after flashing the stock ROM.

Note 2 i317m - unable to flash recovery and stock rom

Hi, i've been searching and searching but can't find an answer.
Device: Note 2 i317m
Bootloader: i317mvlalj2
Android: 4.1.1 JB
My Note 2 was running good with custom recovery (TWRP 2.8.0.0, i believe) and custom rom (Resurrection Remix 6.0) for a yr or so. I do get random reboots here and there but not that often.
Suddenly on April 1, the phone just reboot and was stuck in a bootloop. I figure i'll boot into recovery and wipe/cache/dalvic. Guess what, I can't even get into recovery. It got to the TWRP screen and it just rebooted.
I then decided I will re-flash TWRP, everything pass in ODIN 3.09. It still rebooted after the TWRP screen.
Ok, fine. i'll take the risk and wipe my entire phone by flashing Stock Rom. Flashed it with ODIN 3.09. Everything went well, ODIN PASS. Phone rebooted and guess what, its stuck in bootloop with RR logo.
I flashed my phone with many files, different version twrp, 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 then finally 4.4.2 stock rom, different version of ODIN and also CF auto root.
Also the weird thing, my counter is stuck at 3.
I read a lot of forums stating it could be eMMC or partition corruption. But I didn't encounter any of the symptoms mentioned.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks in advance

First. Update TWRP to the latest. Then try it again. You need to flash from 4.1 to 4.3 then update to a newer rom. SD card reading changes thru these roms do it in steps
