I was replacing a screen for my friend and the phone (sprint sph-L600) was working just fine. Then it stated there was an update, I selected ok. Since then the phone has been looping Samsung Mega and vibrating 2 times over and over. I downloaded odin and flashed 4.4.2 and still the same issue. I can not get into samsung recovery as it does the same reboot over and over. I flash it with a different recovery, and then could get into the recovery mode,once I flash the stock rom, I'm back to square one, rebooting and no recovery. Before I did a flash recovery I did notice the KNOX was 0x1, which I'm not sure why. Any help would be great or I'm out some money for trying to be nice... thanks in advance!
Anyone please!
Have you tried philz recovery?

Dont worry its not a hard brick. Try to flash the stock rom with odin. It will solve the problem.

Not sure what the CM updater uses, but I have tried to update with Philz, got stuck in an installation loop of the update itself.
Tried to use my jig and flash back to stock right now, got into download mode and was able to flash back to stock, but right now, I got into download with the jig, flashed stock ROM, and got a bootloop but am UNABLE to get into any recovery at all.
Pretty screwed up. Really need some suggestions here, guys.
Any ideas?!
I can get into download mode and flash via Odin (USB drivers installed via Windows 8)
Flashes successfully, installs stock recovery, reboots into bootloop.
No idea how to fix it.
Not a noob here. Nothing is working.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I had the same problem and I ended up finding a working CWM tar file that can be installed using ODIN and I was then able to boot into CWM fine.
This is the exact file name: recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.2.7-GTI9300
I don't remember where I downloaded it from, but if you Google the exact file name I am pretty sure you'll find it. Just flash it using Odin and you'll be good to go.

Well, now I'm even more f****ed than before, because I had a zero count, but after trying this, I got a custom count in download, and I still cannot get into recovery.
Nothing works.
Bye, bye warranty.
Edit:
The 6.0.2.7 version by MSKIP worked, but the updated one did not.
I got recovery, now I'll see if I can flash stock and recovery to get my counter back to zero.
Sorry to hear about the counter. I'd suggest rooting your device, installing Triangle Away, resetting your flash counter and then finally unrooting your device by installing stock ROM from SamMobile or such. That's the best route if you want your warranty to remain intact.

He probably needs a booting phone first.
But like he said, he's not a noob. He knows all that

Hi all,
I am stuck in the very same problem as of today!
I don't know what to do!
One more weird symptom is that when I tried to charge the Note battery..it suddenly went to bootloop again!
The battery was 100% at the begining of that damn update process!
I don't know what to do..all suggestions are so welcomed.

Hello all
I attempted to root and CWM my Mega and that seemed to go fine..
I can run CWM 6032 without issues
So I proceeded to install a custom rom I firstly did full wipe / cache and dalvik then installed the rom.
It boots to samsung logo and just hangs..
So I went back to the drawing board..Dled fresh tar img flashed with odin just had auto reboot and F.reset time ticked but the phone is still stuck at the samsung logo and not doing anything else..
I just got this amazing phone and its bricked already
Starting to panic
Please help
Jonny
OK After a good nights sleep things dont seem so bad
I got stock firmware loaded but I had to go into the stock recovery after the flash and do another factory reset / cache wipe

Good for you
I remember my first few flashes, with the little bootloop panic...
Usually, if one takes the time too pause and read and think (very probably someone had the issue, and the answer is here in the forums), then all those little issues can be fixed without too much trouble
hi man :>
i have flashed other phones before but noone gave me as much trouble as the mega..
glad she is running now
Real smooth atm with silentnight rom + an app off the store to decrease cpu speed..currently at 700mhz and i cant tell the difference!
Thanks for reply man
Yeah, every phone has its way.
I used to have HTC phones, and those seem to be the most annoying ones, with software updates locking the bootloader and such annoyances.
It might have changed now, though
I always make nandroid backup before flashing new rom, just in case things happen

Hi,
I am wondering if you have any tips or info on unbricking my phone.
I seem to be having this same problem.
It has to do with a knox update i believe.
you mention a bootloader lock..is their some method to unlock so that it will allow me to flash the rom again.
any information would be greatly appreciated..I am getting a crash course in this trying to get my phone back up and running
thanks

Hi all, hope somebody can help me.... I am currently stuck in a boot loop on my i9300....
How did this happen? well....
I'll start at the beginning... I received an ota update notification for the 4.3 update and without checking the internet to find out how good it was/wasn't, i stupidly downloaded and installed it! as we all now know, its terrible!
So.... in an effort to get out of the nightmare that is 4.3 i downloaded odin on my computer and rooted my phone with cf auto root, i then downloaded I9300OXAEMG4_BTU from sam mobile. I put my phone in download mode, hooked it up to the computer and flashed the said xaemg4 rom via odin. Everything seemed to go well and the phone rebooted.... but now my phone just continually shows the swirling samsung boot screen and never gets past it!
So, what went wrong and how do i sort this mess out?? Should i try to reflash the rom again with odin will i just make things worse?
Just for info, i do not have a custom recovery on my phone, i just used odin to flash.
Please help me out guys. :crying:
Cheers

So I just installed the 0.2.3 cm 12 beta rom on and since I was giving my galaxy light to a friend I decided to do a factory reset so when I did that the phone rebooted and now its stuck at the twrp recovery splashscreen. I've already tried rebooting and re-flashing twrp but no luck. Could it be a cache problem or something? Thanks to all in advance who reply.

Im guessing you wiped device and if you go into recovery and try to reboot system it will tell you no os installed if that is the case you can plug device into computer and still use twrp as file manager thats if you had a backup stored on desktop or drag a CM zip to device .
other method of course would be to enter download mode and use odin to flash stock firmware for your device not sure if you have t399 or the N varient lastest beening OH2/OH3 you can find that in my filehost i have stock odin zips to flash.

I used the download from this guide by ShabbyPenguin: http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-restore-your-galaxy-light-to-stock-mja.846767/
Hey guys...I did the same thing but my t399 must have lost battery charge because when I picked it back up, it was dead...I plugged in and it started flashing the Samsung screen slowly at me. It would not reboot. I did get download and twrp to show up and start to atleast work enough to flash and Odin again...I used Shabby's kernel source and it is still doing the same thing after flashing through Odin. Still stuck on Samsung screen slowly flashing and recovery shows no operating system. I'm about to put it back in a drawer but I feel it's so close that I had to ask for help. I flashed shabby work to root and recovery. I flashed twrp 2.7 and the cm12 beta rom. Then back to shabby guide to get it to recognize, it did..kind of..but still boot looped. Flashed 3 times... No changes. Can anyone help or is it time for a staircase? hA!
Oh yes .. I don't think the battery is bad.. I checked it with a meter and it reads voltage. It does get pretty hot while I'm working on it though and my pc shows its charged at 100% but the phone doesn't show that...it stays in like dead mode. Nit recognizing again. Anybody have suggestions? In recovery it also indicated it can not locate most of my files in read after I flash.. what am I doing wrong.
sgh-399n bootloop
It's taken me 2 months to cry for help. I'm not a complete noobie, but I'm completely exhausted. First of all, one morning I woke up and I thought that somehow my battery was dead. It wasn't. Eventually, I found it in a bootloop. This phone was working fine, running a "Tiger_Lilly" ROM the night before. I've tried everything using Odin, adb and fastboot (I'm not sure how to get the phone in fastboot mode and also, before using Odin, TWRP wouldn't mount/data.) I'm stumped. Would appreciate some help, thank you.

What was you using prior to it bootlooping and what rom was installed have you modifed anything else such as partions etc...
also list your method and link rom your trying. just wondering if its the lastest version for device. while in odin also make sure Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time is only selected and what version of odin are you using?
If your unable to flash any rom thru odin then there must be a major problem else where until we can narrow it down no one can assist you.
hi good morning, i actually dont know the prior version of the SW, i am using the available version on sammobile of the sw and i am trying odin to flash, ive already used odin 3.8 and 3.9 and the one that said it is configured to this phone in the thread.

Ok try this version of odin 3.0.7 which i added as attachment also i linked my firmware OH3 as you stated your device is t399n i know sammobile takes long to download so this may be faster for you Link HERE
as stated previously make sure only thing selected is Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time and add tar file into PDA.
I await your reply if fails i send you adb fastboot etc may be able to grab some logs see whats happening
im using cm12 archidroid 3.5.14 and decided to update to 3.5.15 version last night. but the update didnt went well, something went wrong and i got 'recursive' error, and it started to boot loops.
i tried so many solutions, i odin this and that and nothing worked. i downloaded cwm 6.0.0.47 i think, and managed to install the AD rom, but now im stuck at languange selection, i cant select anything because screen support isnt working
what do i do now?
Samsung S3 i9300
You did "odin this and that"? That's never a good idea. Just saying...
I would try to flash latest AD again but with a proper up-to-date recovery e.g. latest TWRP after making a nandroid backup.

Well then, if you already flashed stock rom via odin, your data is already gone. Make sure your phone is working on stock first now. Please be aware that the first boot after each rom flash might take up to 15 min or so because the cache has to be built at first boot!
You can find the link to TWRP recovery in my signature (see My Gadgets). I suggest your read the tutorials that are linked there also for more information.
thanks again, glad to hear there's still hope. i will do as you advised.
So, in order to get stock firmware flashed and running, can i use twrp-2.8.6.1-i9300.tar from your signature?
1st i odin the twrp-2.8.6.1-i9300.tar, and then reboot into download mode, and odin firmware stock?
in that order? i havent done this in a long time, i've been using AD for so long without any problem, i dont really exactly remember how. i just concern about the touch screen not functioning, i really hope no hardware failures. i never experience anything like this, even in recovery mode, the touch screen doesnt work, i had to flash entire process using up/down and power button
right now i havent done anything since the last attempt ( flashed stock rom, and stuck at samsung logo )
currently., im charging the battery, will try get it up and running after the battery is full
thanks mate
