Hello. This is my first time to post in XDA and unfortunately, I seem to have bricked (or soft-bricked) my phone.
I tried to unroot my phone, however, I got stuck in an infinite bootloop between the Samsung Startup, and the following message: Android upgrading screen saying Manual mode, Applying Multi-CSC, Applied the CSC code: BTU. Successfully applied Multi-CSC.
In an attempt to solve, I flashed the stock firmware in download mode through Odin. I got a success message, however, I cannot get past the Samsung Logo.
I would really appreciate if anyone can guide me through on how I can restore my phone. Thanks in advance.

I can't get into recovery. Is there a way to install cwn from download/Odin?
Are you sure that you can't enter into recovery mode bypressing the buttons? You was with usb debugging on? You can try to use adb "adb reboot recovery" to enter in recovery mode.

CF Root 6.4 Injects CWM via ODIN.
Your problem seems to be settings related tho, usually you get that fixed cleaning cache and dalvik, as stated before. Try to get into recovery mode to check that, and if that dont work I would try reflashing all over step by step.-

To get to recovery press and hold 'up volume + home button + power button together'

You need to hold them until your phone reboots. Takes a few seconds maybe 5-10

You will have to set adb on your pc.. Search for how to.. There are numerous tutos and vids.. Then fire up cmd from the adb directory and then type those commands..

I'm sure the OP should be able to enter Download Mode and flash another ROM via ODIN. Try that if you can't access recovery.
Im 100% he's not doing it the right way.
If you can get in downloadmode to use Odin, you can also get in the Recovery menu.
Hold volume up , home, and power untill it reboots.
Keep holding it untill you see the white text, release power, but keep holding volume up and home.
Its not so difficult.

This happened to me to... i flashed a nordic stock rom, from JB because I wanted to go back to android 4.0.4.. now I'm stuck at the logo screen. I have noot rooted or anything so I cant go to recovery, only download mode.. What do I do?
same with the guys above but i had 4.0.4 and when i flashed stock i am stuck with the samsung logo. my s2 was fixed with the new stock rom as it seem it didnt support old stock after flashing new roms. may be is should try jb instead. all i did was used samsung tool should have done one by one myself. instead of using tool.
***Edit***
Okey I fixed it by going to recovery and then wiped up everything (dalvik/cache-data/cache partition) so it worked now... Here is the question. I bought the cell 2nd hand with paper and everything here is my question. on the box and back sticker of the cell phone it is XXXXXX/XX/XXXXXX/6 when i got the phone and did *#06# I got XXXXXX/XX/XXXXXX/04 and then when i tried to use samsung toolkit it went hanged in samsung logo so after i fixed it when i got back to the phone i checked my imei again now its XXXXXX/XX/XXXXXX/01 just the last is different is it okay or is something screwed my cell? btw it was locked to 3 and i used galaxysimunlocked (after) checking imei it is working but still i am concerned about the last number all the 14 numbers are right nothing changed.
Hi
My brother installed a random CWM apperantly from youtube without talking with me and he messed up with his phone pretty bad
So he gave me the rooted phone and i wiped,then when i tried to install the rom it wouldnt let me and it just restarted back to cwm
It wont go into downloading mode either
I can transfer data from the external SD card but problem is it wont install it properly it just show the android with the flipping cube few times then restarts right back to cwm
This is a really messed up problem how can i fix it ?
Tomorrow he goes back to the army and if he wont have his phone we wont be in touch
Waiting for response,thanks alot for all help given!!

thx got it fixed
Coming from HTC so this is a little different for me..I did search these out, just want to be sure.. First, will qbkings method still work since it was done on the first version for this phone and its now on MJ4? For TWRP, when you flash a new rom, what are you wiping, Factory, System, and internal or just system? Any other advice is appreciated, just don't want to screw crap up... Thanks

I used cf-auto root on my phone. It trips Knox but I didn't care about that. You can find it in the original development forum.
As far as what to wipe for a custom ROM just read the first few posts of the ROM you are looking at and the Devs will be very specific as to the steps needed to avoid potential issues.
All the Devs here are very helpful if you have any issues as well.
Hope that helps.

Welcome to the community, bro.
Here's a starter set of instructions, followed by a backup set if you get stuck. [Make sure that you are on MJ4 prior to doing this.]
---------STARTER STEPS
1. Download TWRP (tar/odin flashable) from teamw.in (V2.6.3.7)
2. Download and install Samsung drivers for mobile phones (you may already have these installed)
3. Download Odin V3.07 (you may already have this too, link takes you to what appears to be a master thread for Odin)
See this post for a nice visual and comments, pic and thread provided by a fine gentleman that has about the coolest user name I've seen on any forum
At this point you can decide whether or not you want simply stock rooted, which TWRP can give you without flashing anything, or if you want to install a basic stock rooted rom, kindly provided by @freeza, can select DeOdex or Odex, thread here
4. Download MJ4 DeOdex or Odex and place it on your phone
5. Power off your phone
6. Put your phone into Download Mode (voldown+home+power)
7. Flash TWRP with Odin and boot into it once done (volup+home if Odin auto reboots your phone or volup+home+power if it's off)
8. If you decided to simply go stock rooted, then go to reboot>system and TWRP will ask if you want root, if not, then proceed to flash MJ4 DeOdex or Odex
9. Profit
---------PLAN B IF ABOVE FAILS YOU
[Some just can't get Odin to play nice with the TWRP tar, don't know why.]
1. Follow QBKing77 video and install root using CF method, thread here
2. Download img file for TWRP from Team Win site, flash using app from Play Store called Flashify
3. Flash recovery
4. Follow the rest of the outlined under the heading "Starter Steps"
---------AFTERTHOUGHTS...
Once successful, go into TWRP, backup only your EFS, then separately, backup boot, system, and data. Throw your EFS backup on your PC and Dropbox in case of emergency (hopefully you won't need it).
Pick a rom you like, and start fiddling. Support the devs, have a blast.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Yeah, it is. But there's a reason I layed the steps out so broadly and specifically; half of that was given to me (the stuff above the Plan B line) by one whom knows far more than most, and I still had to do the stuff for which I hadn't planned. Worse, I got stuck at that horrifying yellow Sprint logo, with no bootup. I pulled my SD card and the battery, powered up again, and I only then had success. Most have no issues, but thankfully enough have that there were similar experiences conveyed across these forums.
I really hope that you have a trouble free experience.
Sent from my SM-N900P using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
Worked like a charm, thanks again Mic. They only thing I can't do though is how do you get to TWRP from reboot, I can do it from goomanager but I would think I could power down the phone, press the three buttons and it would take me there.

Download the small zip in this thread, choosing Odex or DeOdex,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486526
Go into TWRP the way you've described, flash the zip, and you'll have a 4-in-1 reboot menu. After it installs, hard press the power key, and when you select reboot, you'll get other options (recovery, &c).
Good luck!

The button combo you're describing is taking you into the bootloader. Try the other direction with the power button to get into recovery.

No problem. Just don't let that this dispel ya. Pick a rom and start flashing. There are a lot of good choices, you've already tripped Knox, so have at it, defile the thing and make it work the way you want.

Unless you remember all the apps you froze, which is unlikely, go into recovery mode and factory reset your device.

If you can get into recovery then no, are the any custom Roms for your device? I suggest you try flashing one. They normally have all the bloatware removed already. Either that or flash your stock ROM again using Odin. Which device do you have?

If you prefer stock ROM then use Odin to flash a stock ROM on your device. I don't see any other way out of this

Can you acces Emergency Mode my friend. Pull out battery. Insert it back then Hold Volume up + Volume down + power button tell me if you see a yellow screen.
I doubt you can use Odin as you say you have an lg device. Many lg devices have fastboot access via bootloader if yours is on then you should be fine. I doubt you froze anything that would keep you from booting to the recovery as you can't freeze your kernel so keep trying to get there. But a factory reset will doubtfully help as you probably removed some system apps that don't return when doing a factory reset, but still worth a try
If you can get into recovery and a factory reset doesn't help then wipe all and then flash a custom ROM.
If this won't work than hope you have fastboot access and or another method such as nvflash or whatever

Ok put battery out then try only Volume up + Power button and hold them untill you see the yellow screen.
As the title says, is there a way to turn off the phone that is stuck in bootloop? Only thing I can think of would be to let the battery drain but I just wanted to know if there were other options that I didn't know of. I need to do this so I can safely attempt to get into fastboot without potentially bricking the phone.
Hold volume up and power to get to recovery. You should be able to do this while it bootloops
