something weird has happened and my phone wont boot stuck on Samsung logo and every time i boot into twrp recovery it asks for pass? i never set a pass so idk whats going on and so i press cancel and every time i try to wipe or factory reset or anything it says failed?
Edit: I did a format data and that worked luckily... i still dont know what was up with all that and it boots into rom until i restart phone then hangs at samsung logo again????
Edit: Found a fix!!! Read POST #6
twrp asking for pass?
:good:
after restarting phone still gets stuck on samsung logo?
it also still asks for password in recovery?
Had the same thing happen to me. I also got it to work after formatting the phone and reinstalling the image but after the first reboot the problem reappeared.
I was able to get Verizon to DOA my phone but you might have luck with flashing stock with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259 if the issue reappears
If this fixes the problem let me know because I am very hesitant about installing TWRP and custom roms on the S4 at this point but if this solves the problem that will be huge.

I was about to make a trip to vzw myself (afraid they might find out it was custom) but now no need
After polling out my hair and staying up till early am I got it fixed...
Solution (trust me I had tried everything else) boot into odin install the SCH-I545_MDK_562219_Stock_Restore.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2289325
You will lose root and go completely stock but at least now I am confident I cant brick my phone after finding out this worked
Same Problem here.. I did the Store Restore and all was good.. BUT, I then rerooted and the problem reappeared.. Is there any fix so we can root ?

I recently rooted my phone and everything was fine. This morning I installed a debloated rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296109 and It seemed to work but after I rebooted the phone just sits at a screen that says
Samsung
an unlocked icon
Custom
I can still get into Odin and TWRP but nothing I do seems to solve my problem. I have verified the MD5 of the image as well as trying to install a backup I made prior to flashing but the restore fails.
Does anyone know what I can do?
I should add that TWRP asks for a password when I load it but I never explicitly set one and also it seems to have trouble with the partition table.
Update: Solved maybe? I got this phone to boot but I am not sure what happened. I flashed a rom from TWRP several times and finally one took ... still would like info from someone who actually knows what is going on as I am not sure this wont happen again
Update: So it seems that every time I something happens and the drive or loader gets encrypted and it no longer boots. the "solution" is to do a full wipe then install a rom. This happens every time i reboot and I would really like a solution to this.
I let my galaxy tab 10.1 die completely and it sat for several months without being used. When I turned it on, it was stuck in a bootloop. Tried to do a factory reset but, it would freeze in the middle of the reset. I really don't want to spend $150 to send this to Samsung for them to do something I can possibly do myself.
Is this a common issue with these things?
I have seen several forums and youtube videos where flashing was required to fix this problem, is this the only way to fix this problem?
Where can I download ODIN without all the other crap that some of these sites are trying to pass off as ODIN?
Step by step instructions would be helpful as I am not computer stupid, but have never done something like this before...

1. Let it fully charged
2. If you never flashed a custom recovery, do the factory reset again through the stock recovery mode. That should do it.
3. If you are rooted, get odin [http://odindownload.com/],
get a custom Recovery e.g. [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1733045], install it using ODIN
4. Extra, install a custom ROM e.g. nameless [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716016] or the stock ROM [http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...wnload-link-samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-t2807422]

Thanks for the reply:
this is not a rooted device. How do I do the factory reset through the stock recovery mode? I am sure it's what I have tried several times and it still freezes in the middle of the recovery. I have gotten as far as putting in the date and time and then... nada back to where I have started. I am a noob, sorry

Stuck in the bootloop also, saw this post so asking here first. I'm going to do some more searching, but if I flash the ROM will I lose all photos, music, videos and the sort? Don't care about the apps, just the data. I don't have an SD Card on this thing which I keep reading on other posts some folks have. It's a P7510 32 GB Wifi Only.
I'm having strange problems with an I9300 I'm trying to fix for friend. Now unfortunately I end up doing things like this not because I know anything about these things, but because I'm I'm slightly more computer literate than the rest of my group of friends, so I'll apologise now if these are stupid questions, I have searched but could find nothing.
Now last night my friend comes to mine with his phone stuck in a boot loop. Now beyond the fact it already had a custom ROM on it I can tell you nothing except he claims he installed AVG and it happened. So I reboot into Windows, start up Kies, and see what I can do. Which so far has been:
1) Try to perform an Upgrade and Initialisation. Jump through the hoops, end up with the message "This device's version cannot be updated."
2) Ok, that didn't work. Hit sammobile to find a stock rom and fire up Odin. Ohh success...
3) Oh noes, too soon. The Samsung chime cuts off early and it's stuck with a pulsating logo.
3) Ok well maybe a downgrade first? Get a 4.1 stock rom and try again. Odin sees no problems again, the chime plays fully. But nope, it's just a longer boot loop.
4) After much head scratching and just trying random stuff I end up finding CM9.1 will boot fully, but the EFS data is screwed. This is the only rom I've found so far that will boot.
So from where I started I'm closer and if the radio worked this would be fine. Now the only suggestion I've heard to get the radio working is flashing a stock rom through Kies but I have no idea how to get Kies to play along. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Your downgrade screwed the efs, flash 4.3 and pray it is still readable.
Your mistake was to not factory reset after the first Odin flash.

I did actually try that before flashing 4.3 with Odin and after. Was still stuck in a boot loop... :/

Hello, so I have a Galaxy S6 on Android 6.0.1 and I'm with T-mobile. I tried to root the phone using Odin first, downloaded a root checker and got the confirmation. And then I tried to get Xposed using TWRP but I had to back up my phone and all that first. After being prompted to reboot I chose an Xposed zip and since then I haven't been able to get past the Samsung logo during reboot. I've tried all the button combinations and I can get as far as the Warning screen about downloading custom OS asking to press volume up to continue or down to cancel and restart. Both of them take me to the Samsung logo where I get stuck with it flickering at me. At this point I'm panicking and waiting for the battery to drain on the blue Warning screen. Right now I have it plugged into the computer on the battery charging screen. I'm scared to turn it on and see I'm still stuck in the loop. Please help me, I cannot afford another smart phone and I had to buy this one unlocked full price. Thanks.
Edit: After turning on my phone and seeing the boot loop was still very real, I went into download mode and tried to factory reset the phone. This actually took me to the Team Win Recover Project 3.0.2-1 where is has the standard buttons for install, backup, restore, reboot, etc. At this point I am not sure what to do, I believe this is where I would want to install the Xposed zip but I am not going to proceed until I have a clear understanding on what it is I need to do.
Edit 2: I should also mention that on the TWRP recovery screen, the restore tab is EMPTY. I guess I either did not completely save a nandroid state, or didn't name it something I could find. I'm unsure on how to restore the phone to factory settings, if at all possible, with TWRP.
Edit 3: After doing some research, I've decided that my best bet is probably to download the necessary firmware for my phone, Model number SM-G920F, and use Odin once again or Smart Switch to hopefully revert back to factory settings. The problem I am now having is finding the right firmware. I'm on SamMobile but I cannot find a firmware that fits my country and carrier. I know that unstalling the wrong firmware can brick my phone so I am being very hesitant here. Can anyone help me?
I'm a bit confused...did you already install a version of Xposed that caused the bootloop or it just started bootlooping after the first reboot after it booted from the rooting process?

I only installed Xposed once, and that is when the boot loop started. I had to reboot my device two times; once for Odin, and once for TWRP to get Xposed. Like I said, I went with Odin first for the rooting process and then I used TWRP in an attempt to get the third party firmware. After rebooting for Odin I ran the root checker and everything was confirmed. If it isn't obvious by now, I'm new to this whole process and goofed somewhere along the line so there's my disclaimer. At this point I'm willing to do anything to get this phone working again. I appreciate any help.
Just run the Xposed uninstaller in TWRP.
I have seen this with my wife's galaxy s6 edge, she had dropped the phone after having it for three weeks and then the phone started to act funny. Luckily for me I did not root the phone yet so I did the button combination but instead of volume down I did volume up so I can do a complete factory reset. That had seemed to help, you can always go back to the Samsung site to get the rom you need for your phone and if its with T-Mobile which I also have, you should have no problem getting it.

I have tried the button combination that is supposed to lead to the factory reset, but this is what is taking me to the TWRP screen. What I haven't tried is finding the ROM from the site so I will try that now, thanks!

You don't need to flash the whole rom. Just run the Xposed uninstaller. It was specifically made to resolve these types of issues.

In the TWRP screen I'm not seeing anything about unistalling Xposed, do you know what tab it would be under?
You have to grab the zip from the Xposed thread. You should be able to connect your phone in recovery to the PC and drag and drop it. If not, you might need to use ADB.
Don't flash a firmware unless you are 100% sure it's the official firmware for your device. Maybe you could contact the company's website and ask for the firmware. Sometimes this works. If it doesn't search for one but be sure to flash the official one or it may cause problems.
So I have read through a lot of threads on here already about similar issues. But I cant find an exact answer to the problem Im having. I tried to get more space with my sd card so i downloaded foldermount, and I gave it access to external sd and rebooted. When I rebooted it stopped at the metropcs welcome screen and did nothing, I immediately knew it was soft-bricked. I tried taking the battery out restarting and still same problem. So i rebooted into TWRP recovery and instead of just getting my laptop and googling, I tried to factory reset but somehow i erased my rom because it said "No OS installed are you sure you want to reboot". So now it wont even go to the samsung screen or metropcs screen. it turns on but thats about it. I hooked it up to odin and flashed a stock rom but everytime i try, it stops at sboot.bin and then fails. I read that this is a problem with bootloader and imnuts has solved this proble, but he only did it for other phones, SO BASICALLY I NEED A BOOTLOADER FIX FOR STOCK ROM FOR SM-G550T1 (SAMSUNG GALAXY ON5)????
Have you tried to flash another rom? How long did you take your battery out for? In twrp, do you have adb access?

Yes, I have flashe three different roms now. I have the same issue every time. And i took the battery out for a few minutes but i dont think thats the issue its that I'm missing an operating system. And in TWRP i do have adb but i forget what ADB does.
Also, with the help of youtube, I created a nobootbinrom.tar or something like that and flashed with odin to no avail. It was a complete waste of time.
