Need a bit of help. Stuck in a boot loop. I had Freeza's deodex running like a champ. Flashed TeamVenum's rom and it ran good, but I didn't like colors. I wiped data and reflashed freeza's, and the system would only boot to update apps then reboot and start a boot loop at samsung.
I finally did a odin restore to MI3, but it won't boot up either. It updates apps then does a Finalizing boot, the system freezes then starts a boot loop.
Any Suggestions? Tempted to take it back to Sprint.

Odin should have fixed this.
Did you flash in PDA mode and un-check the "auto reboot" ?
Try downloading the restore tar again, maybe you had a bad download.

Sprint Store, within 14 days from purchase
Ur phone is bricked. Restore doesn't work, once u did that, u turned your phone into a $700 paperweight. So if u get a new phone and root it, do not do a restore of any kind

Try to get in to Odin mode. If you can flash the Stock Image and go from there.

Hi I have the exact same pb, I flashed several times my S4 (I was on RLS4 before) following the instructions, no way to get out from the endless reboot loop.
There is a suggestion using ODIN, I am not very familiar on how to do that, any help?
Thanks

dont install any audio mod and also dont install any of the music players just the samsung one !
before you go through all the trouble of ODIN, which seems to be everyones answer now a days, it is a kernel issue, flash a verizon loki kernel. It should boot.

First, if you have a back up, restore just the system partition (this will also format your current /system) Then do a factory reset and reboot. Now I if that doesn't work, Odin is your best bet.

FOR anyone installing Hyperdrive, the most probable cause of boot loop in the Walkman Music App. Don't choose it in Aroma!!!
If you already have, the only way to fix the boot loop is to ODIN back to stock, as Dark Menace suggested.
He can PM you the stock image, which you will have to flash in ODIN to successfully boot up again.
hey I do plenty of flashing, and from time to time get into trouble... But ODIN is not the first choice to fix... Please read the forums:cyclops:
Sent a few PM's to see if that helps. You can try the kernels first then go from there.

I had the same problem had to go back in odin mode and reflash a old stock. If that does not work reset data and cache and install a new rom. Worked for me

I am trying hyperdrive on Baseband I545VRUEMJ7 and build JSS15J.I545VRUEMJ7 (4.3). I am able to root and install safestrap. Even hyperdrive/dirty unicorns (i tired both) installs fine, but ends up in reboot loop. am i missing anything here?.
Been playing with my phone all day and somehow it crashed/rebooted & now I'm getting "Process system isn't responding"ever time it boots back up. Im rooted and have TWRP recovery...made a backup before all this started. Tried restoring my backup, didnt work, nor did using ODIN to flash a stock file. Full wipes and format data doesn't do any good either...Any suggestions?
I had the same issue this morning and after wiping and odin'ing what seems liked 30 times for 4 hours, I ended up taking it back. BB swapped it out with no questions asked.
The only thing I can think that happened was I tried restoring a backup with TWRP. I thought I read on here that restoring was not a good idea right now.
Looks like I am going to have to return this as well...every time it boots I get that error message and then it reboots itself....Did you do anything to flash back stock status??

Oh yes, many, many times! After I got stuck in a boot loop (or bootup system error), I wiped every partition I could find on the phone using stock TWRP and OUDH recoveries. Than I would odin multiple times using the MI3 tar. The odin process would be successful, but I would get stuck in a boot-loop every time. I'm fairly savvy with Samsung phones as I have rooted all 5 that I've owned but I couldn't figure this one out so I just took it back.

After the successful Odin, have you tried booting into stock recovery and wiping data? That can often fix problems booting up after a restore..

I have similar issues. I tried to recover my original TWRP backup and now my phone is in a boot loop. Even taking the original system and restoring it via ODIN won't fix this?
No questions asked by the store?

The Sprint store is not going to have the software to restore your phone yet. So they will replace it as they want even be able to tell its rooted...Well unless they go into download mode which i don't see why they would do that right now. .. BUT This is something you can fix yourself. From what i read you only flashed the stock TAR once. Flash it again and see what happens. Pay attention to what you are restoring. The first time i rooted i couldn't make phone calls...I have no idea what cause it. Now i am on Stock but mi3 as i forgot to pull the SD card.. And its not that serious to go to mi5 at this point.
Edit: If stock still dosent work after multiple attempts.... GO ahead and flash stock rooted ROM. In the next week or so everything will be figured. out. There want be any big updates that you miss in the next month. I wouldn't worry about being on stock rooted or stock unrooted. All the same for now.
I've retried several times with the STOCK unrooted tar. No go with that. Just boot loops...
I didn't see where there is a stock rooted ROM. I'll look in the development areas for it. If you have link would you reply with the link?

My phone crashed on me and i had to flash back to stock MJ4. I used the CF auto root to root my phone, then odin 3.07 to push TWRP 2.6.3.7 to the phone. When i boot into recovery, it freezes at the splash screen and nothing else happens. I have to pull the battery to do anything. Is there something i did wrong, or something i missed?

I would try re-odin it back but make sure only "Auto reboot" is clicked and when phone goes to reboot, hold vol up, home and power then let go when it says it will boot to recovery.
You need flash again the twrp, something crashed in the first flash you did...

I believe I have bricked my phone. I installed a custom Rom and something went wrong. In the process of frying to fix it, I believe I bricked it by deleting a partition that shouldn't have been touched. It installs the is fine, but I don't get ANY service. It's just empty bars. Is there a way to re flash that partition or rebuild the phone from scratch? I can get into recovery to flash.
Ther isn't a huge hurry. I am happy with my LG G2, but would like to get this phone up and running if possible.
Thanks
