[Q] Bricked GS4 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I rooted my GS4 and tried to install PureG but ended up in a boot loop at the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen. I fixed it by flashing the stock image through ODIN following. I then went to root it again using the guide by open1your1eyes0. I am now stuck in a boot loop yet again, however this time it says "Samsung" then underneath that is an open padlock, and under that it says "custom". I have tried everything I could think of with no luck. I have tried looking around for people with similar problems but again no luck.

Can you boot into recovery?

I got it. It was just being glacially slow booting up. I thought it was stuck so I kept resetting it. It was a dumb mistake. Thanks for the reply though.

No problem, if it hangs up in the future you may have to fix the permissions from recovery mode. FLASH ON!

[Q] Galaxy Tab 10.1 Boot Loop! How do I fix it?

I have the 32 GB retail model of the galaxy tab 10.1 and it was working perfectly and I had no problems until I tried to boot it up today. It gets stuck between the Samsung animation and the Samsung logo. I'm not very great with fixing these kinds of things so could someone walk me through it?

what was the last update you did to your tab? any app or tweak?
I once had a similar problem but doing a wipe/factory reset from the recovery menu seemed to fix it for me and I've had no problems since.
Ok thanks, I just did a factory reset and now its back to normal.
How do you do a Factory Wipe and reset? I cannot get mine to take the ClockworkMod Recovery.... I have tried many times to install it and Odin says that it was successful but when I try to boot into the CWM... All I get is the USB fastboot or Odin again... any suggestions? I am trying to fix my Boot Loop issues on Galaxy Tab 10.1

If you have fastboot that means your tab is Google I/O tab. So i believe the method may be different to install CWM for you. Google it
Hi guys! Can you give me a tip? Since yesterday my tab got caught in a boot loop. Didn't made any changes, just went into it. I have rooted it a long time ago. I can't get into recovery mode by holding power+up. All I can get it the download mode that first says "waiting for usb cable" and if I connect it to the PC it goes to "press the [START] of Odin3". Do I need to try the fastboot method and reset it to factory details? I've being trying to do that but no devices were listed... Or do I need to reflash something with oding again? Please, just give me a tip.

Hey nightrave
I got caught in a bootloop the other day after updating to 3.2 from 3.1, my tab was rooted and running the starburst ROM. When I rebooted it it keeped getting stuck on the logo screen, and my device wasn't being recognized when I plugged it into my PC. I found a file online for the stock 3.1 firmware and flashed it using Odin and it got it out of the boot loop. If you can't go into CWM to flash a rom or do a recovery I would try using ODIN to flash the firmware your device was on. I ended up flashing the firmware for 3.2 the same way and the Galaxy Task 10 ROM. Let me know if that helps
app not working
i downloaded an app and it was working fine for a few days and now when i go use it i get an error msg and it kicks me out of the app. ive deleted and reinstalled app a few times but it still does it. what do i do?
Did u try goin on rom manager and clicking fix permissions.. its suppose to fix any force close issues, not sure if that would work.
I was able to fix my issue by installing a 3.2 rom. My tablet is not bricked anymore
Getting a com.android.phone error now but i'm trying to figure it out.

Galaxy Note 10.1 stuck on "Samsung Galaxy Note" screen

Dear all.
First of all, thanks for your attention, I really appreciate.
I have a GNote 10.1 Wi-Fi version (N8013) with stock Android 4.1.
My S-Pen was getting me crazy, because I was not able to use it correctly on the edges of the device. I tried an app that supposed to reset the alignment, but I did not work, so I googled and found that the only way to fix it was "factory reseting" the tablet.
So, I installed the TeamWin recovery and backed up my data. After that I hit the button "reboot". But before rebooting, the recovery screen "told me" that I was not rooted and "asked" if I would like to install SuperSU to get root access. I checked YES and rebooted.
After that I got stucked at the "Samsung Galaxy Note" screen (see attached file).
I've tried to switch off the note, but the screen goes off for one second and it lights up again at the same screen.
If I plug the USB cable and try to switch it off, the note goes to the battery charging screen. If I remove the USB and push the power button again, the tablet gets back to the "Samsung Galaxy Note" screen.
Odin seems to "connect" with the tablet.
I can enter both the download mode and the recovery mode (not the teamwin recovery).
Attached pictures of what I get.
Any sugestions?
Thanks!!!
Everything is ok now
Dear all,
Hope I can help you if you have a problem similar to mine.
I remembered that a PC with no OS stops on some screen, but everything else works, just as what was happening with my note.
I tought that I might have wiped more things than I should, so, the only thing I had to do was to restore the backup that I had.
To do this I should reinstall the TWRP and the only way was via Odin.
Solved the problem this way:
1. Downloaded the Odin (http://techbeasts.com/2013/08/08/download-odin-pc-latest-version-v-3-07/)
2. Downloaded the TWRP file (http://techerrata.com/get/twrp2/p4noterf/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-p4notewifi.tar)
3. Connected the Galaxy Note to my PC using the USB cable
4. Entered the "download mode"
5. Loaded the file from step 2 into the tablet using Odin
6. Rebooted the tablet
7. Entered the recovery mode (TWRP was working)
8. Restored the backup that I had
9. Rebooted again
Did the dance of victory!!!
I am so glad to have my device back.
Regards

Thank you in advance
I have an SM-P600
My Note 10.1 2014 Edition is stuck on the tablet title screen, not sure if its in reboot mode it returns to this screen if I try to shut it off... basically Its frozen, and when I try to shut it off it goes away a few seconds and comes back. This happened after I rooted with KingRoot, and tried to Flash a ROM, Im a complete Noob and should have done my homework... but I didnt. I see everyone suggesting odin and going into download mode... I can get to download mode but I am using a macbook pro, and there are very little options to use odin, I tried Jodin3... and Heimdall... no luck...
PLEASE HELP !
HELP stuck on Samsung screen
I didn't any root or install a different firmware to mine.
But after charging it I removed the cable and it rebooted and got stuck on the Samsung screen. I can only access to Download mode. I didn't have any Recovery mode installed, and now I can't install one successfully via Odin...
I tried to install a new firmware... a recovery mode... nothing is working...
Please I need HELP...
@ agelcer: Was your tablet rooted?
Hello. I havea similar problem with my note 2 phone. It will not get past the
samsung screen. My cpu knowledge is very limited. Are you open to accepting payment for attempting to fix my cell phone? All I want is the pictures off of it if that is all you can do to it. Pleass email me at [email protected] if you or anyone you know can help. Thanks....Jay
Same thing is happening to mine. I tried Odin but after the download the srceen goes black and then comes back to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 screen.
Hello folks.
Same problem here with a n8000.
It had the stock unrooted rom probably JellyBean.
Can only access Download Mode, nothing else.
I get connection to Odin, tried to flash original firmware, 4 file firmware, re-partition with pit file, flash a custom recovery, all seem to pass through but nothing changes, still stuck on 'Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1' screen, never moves on to boot animation and still can't access Recovery Mode.
However, something else I triy with Odin and it FAILS is ticking 'Nand Erase All'. It won't let me erase nand.
Could this mean some kind of memory corruption?
Does it have anything to do with EMMC?
If it does, is there a possible way to fix without replacing the hardware?
What else can I try before giving up?
It would be nice if other users who report this problem attempt to Nand Erase All and see if it also FAILS..
Thanks alot and sorry for the long post.
Edit: after posting I found this which is PROBABLY THE SOLUTION for me.
And here is another topic on this issue.
did you find the solution?

I assumed from my searches the solution would be JTAG or replace the EMMC.
Since I don't have the resources for any of those, I just abandoned it to the dust and rust..
bootloader
Is this after the boot loader is updated?

I'm not very clear about bootloader upgrading, but I guess it was included in the 4 file firmware I tried flashing and it said 'success' but nothing changed..
I think it ain't just a softbrick since I can't erase nand..
What's your background, osirisx69?
This happened to ours as well just today. Unplugged it rebooted it and it's stuck. Can only access the Odin mode.

stuck on twrp logo after reset

My phone is a verzon note 2 on deodox 4.3 with twrp recovery. The phone only boots to teamwin logo and flickers on and off. my computer will not recognize my phone either at this point.This is what happened. Ive been having some 4g lte loss and unstable wifi issues to i decided to do a factoty reset. when i rebooted into recovery i was stuck at the twrp logo and it would constantly bootloop the twrp logo.. I restarted my phone and did a factory reset from under the general setting. At that point it rebooted int the twrp but continued to just stay at the logo and would not go into recovery. I pulled the battery and restarted the phone but from that point on it would only boot into the twrp logo and stay there. I can get into download mode but my pc (win7) no longer recognizes the phone so i cant attempt to fix this in odin. Im not sure what to do to get this phone to work properly at this point.

My guess is that when you rooted with CASUAL, it changed the Samsung device driver on your computer and you need to reinstall the Samsung driver to get the computer to recognize the phone again in download mode.
Underneath step 7 of section 1b on Droidstyle's restore guide, he discusses issue with CASUAL replacing the Samsung driver... and he gives a link to Jeremy Loper's fix... "If odin no longer recognizes your device, most likely Casual killed the driver for odin!! follow this tutorial for restoring the driver: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzghcV8HVVk"
Once the computer recognizes the phone again, you should be able to use ODIN to restore back to 4.1.2 so you can root/unlock again with CASUAL. After you get the phone restored with Odin, I would recommend booting into Stock Recovery and wiping cache/doing factory reset before running Casual again... this would enure you are starting over with a totally clean slate.
If the above doesn't work, then here's a thread where I tried to help someone else who couldn't get their computer to recognize the phone.... maybe some of those ideas will help - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55833998
Good luck!!
1 step forward two steps back. I got my pc /odin to recognizes my note 2(changed usb cords). Then tried to odin back to stock 4.1.2. At first odin kept saying (odin not responding) and would ask to close the program,after several attemps i final got it to flash the 4.1.2 file. When i flashed the file and was at the point where it reboots, it would not get past the samsung note 2 logo and continued to flicker and not boot up even when i tried to put it into download mode like it said to in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207. When i tried to reflash the file it failed. when i attempted again it just hangs at setupconnection. Tried again and it failed. Btw thanks for the help mattnmag.
Got it working! i simply forgot to place the sch-i605 pit. into the pit section of odin when i flashed the 4.1.2 rom.
Similar problems
I was running AllianceROM 26. My phone had been spontaneously rebooting for a bit recently. Today, it started to spontaneously reboot again, but this time, it never got past the Galaxy Note 2 screen. After pulling the battery, I tried to boot into TWRP. It just hangs on the twrp boot screen for a few minutes but never goes into twrp.
I figured I would try taking it back to stock. So, I used ODIN to try and put 4.1.2 on it and a new PIT file. That appeared to work fine. I got no errors in ODIN. However, I still cannot get this thing to get past these boot screens, either the Galaxy Note 2 one or TWRP when I try that there. I have tried this twice now, once with re-partition checked and another time with re-partition unchecked (saw conflicting instructions on that so I figured I would try it both ways). I still am not getting past the boot screen.
Any help or ideas are appreciated as right now, my phone appears to be bricked and I am out of ideas.
so what was the solution to the teamwin flashing on and off after a factory reset? this is certainly not a solution, having to reflash the phone...

[Q] went to unlock/root and stuck on boot image.

First off, MODS please let me know if this is the wrong section but as it was about rooting/unlocking the nexus 9 I figured this was the correct forum.
I went with chain fires unlocking method, after unlocking and rebooting i forgot to go back and set the device up and enable USB debugging priot to rooting. Now where my problem lies is since that mistake my device attempts to reboot but sticks at rebooting with the spinning red, green, blue, and yellow dot spinning in somewhat of a circle like its attempting to boot but it never goes anywhere. This appears to be a boot loop minus a restart in between time. anyone have an idea of how to start this and start from scratch? Any help will be much appreciated.

Yes, i was able to resolve it. I downloaded the nexus tool kit, relocked and loaded stock firmware back on it, this fixed the issue, then using the nexus tool kit reunlocked and rooted with no problem. unsure why it got stuck on the boot image but all is resolved now running fire and ice kernal with dirty unicorns ROM.
thanks for the suggestion though.

S6 Edge still stuck on boot logo even after reinstalling firmware in Odin?

I tried searching online its the only thing ive been doing all day, I tried various methods so I decided I should just install stock firmware through odin and I did and it was a success after failing so many times with the wrong firmware and NAND ****, anyway it finally installs and yet I still am stuck on boot logo NOT LOOP but the logo. I tried going into recovery to wipe cache and data and stuff yet still stuck, please help.
while the screen is still saying galaxy s6 edge I can connect to pc I hear it and everything but the logo stays -_-
Just noticed it says dm-verity verification failed... in the recovery area, I tried flashing to stock is there anyone that can help me?
