As long as you have TWRP installed with success, you should be fine. I was in the same mess for about 2 days. Finally flashed CARHD ROM , full wiped and still I have that red message, at least it boots that rom, and the rom is awesome.
ALso flash supersu, you need that before HD ROM I believe. That was my way out. Hope it helps..

Do you know if TWRP installed correctly? If it did this is an easy fix. :good: If it didn't, still a fix possible. You will need to odin flash TWRP, boot into TWRP, repair the filesystem, than flash stock back onto your phone.

Thanks buddy all sorted now

Make is easy on your self and flash lss firmwear and flash lss kernel "near the top of download list" chances are you dont have an os now odin has failed to flash. Hooper8 thread has good info on flashing problems! Read that before you try.

Same problem here, my phone was working fine then all of a sudden i noticed it was dead, tried rebooting it, nothing happened, boot loop, tried to access CWM, i got the lower section menu of CWM but nothing else, a black screen with the buttons.
So next i said, let me use odin to flash a new kernel. That failed and ever since that failed, i cannot do anything except enter download mode. If i power the phone on, i get a [phone-problem-computer] image in yellow with text that says somehting like problem loading software, please conntect to kies recovery mode. of course that never works.
And everytime i try to flash absolutely anything on this device, Odin DOES see the device, and the second i press flash/start, when it reacher nand write start, it hangs there, stuck doing nothing.
I took the phone to a friend who has an Riff jtag box, he soldered his jtag to the phone and said the memory chip is not dead, i can read its capacity normally. But when he tried to write to it, it did not work, kept giving him errors, he said he has never encountered such a behavior before. And then i had to leave.
Up to now, my phone is still dead and i have no idea what to do. It only enters download mode, but at the same time, this is useless since flashing anything simply does not work. Anyone knows what the reason could be?
FYI, i was on NeatROM 5.5, which comes with Philz Kernel.
NAND is stuffed/corrupted. How/why - who knows ? Motherboard replacement if you've already tried JTAG. Could be something hardware going on that caused the chip to become 'damaged'.

*HELP* Soft Bricked Galaxy s3 [Boost Mobile]

Hello, Thanks for taking the time out to read my post
Sorry if i sound a little noobish. Bear with me. I've been at this for days and its disappointing because i just bought the phone a few days ago.
I Soft Bricked My Galaxy s3 from Boost Mobile, Long story short I had gotten it rooted and i was trying to fix the native wifi-tethering, But when i flashed the file it soft bricked.
After that, I tried flashing my original file to Bring my phone back to life, but I had an error in Philz Recovery.
It seems like its not reading my phones memory or something. I can only access files from my sd card.
So i tried flashing a rom in Philz and it actually seemed to work until turned out to be for the sprint model of the S3, Even though the top of the post where i got it from It said: for Boost Mobile -_-
Because after i flashed it my phone was still soft bricked, But instead of showing the boost mobile boot, Now its showing Sprint!!!
Since then, I've tried flashing different .tar files for my phone with odin but everytime I get a FAIL.
Here's what the log looks like if that helps

Not sure If i should be trying to flash The Boost Mobile .tar file or the Sprint one now?[since my boot screen changed] I just want it to be back on boost mobile.
I think I found the right .tar for my phone on the boost mobile model but I just cant get it to work. =[
Sorry if it was a long post i just wanted to make sure whoever wanted to help had all the details.
ANY help will be appreciated! Thanks In Advance!!!!!
Try posting in the right forum, this is for the i9300 only.

This thread describes a similar issue.
The user tried flashing the stock firmware through Odin; it bricked the phone.
If you read through it you will see how the issue was resolved.
Thanks , but its for G925F version ? what do I need to do since its not the same version?
Now that is another conundrum I wasn't prepared for. I know that half of the tutorial on that thread is compatible with your phone; half is exclusive to G925F.

I found another thread that explains how to troubleshoot a failed Odin attempt.
It is written for the Galaxy S2, but sounds generalized for all Samsung Galaxies.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-t2345831
If you have access to download mode, you're ok but in order to reduce to a minimum the things that might go wrong, you should:
1- Use odin 3.10.6
2- verify the integrity of the firmware downloaded on sammobile. It should be roughly 3,402,561 kb in size
3- make sure you have Samsung Android drivers installed
4- If all above fails, switch USB cable, and then USB port
If you still have an issue, try downloading the odin flashable TWRP and try to flash it, if it passes, try wiping everything on the phone in TWRP and try the process again
As a last resort, you can try to see if KIES emergency firmware installation will work. If after doing all this you're not back up and running, you're screwed but i doubt you will have failed all of the above.
at first.. you need a custom kernel to root 5.1.1 because of the new system write protection..the second i think you are on reactivation look..look in my twrp thread for more
You got error on sboot.bin due to your flashing bootloader version lower than your device bootloader try to get the latest firmware or flash a custom firmware
If you need further assistance contact me via pm

Galaxy S6: Bricked After Trying To Install Xposed

Pretty sure i bricked this to no repair.
So got my Sprint s6 edge few months ago and rooted it a week after. Sadly i dont know what i used rom wise to root it since its been a month+. Sadly i reformated pc awhile back so can't see the files i used.
Got bored and wanted to try and install xposed to add some new features to my phone. So just tried and i'm prety sure i bricked it hard...
what i followed
gs6.wonderhowto.com/how-to/install-xposed-framework-your-samsung-galaxy-s6-s6-edge-0163918/
It said make a recovery so i did by following
gs6.wonderhowto.com/how-to/install-custom-recovery-your-galaxy-s6-s6-edge-0161619/
I did what he did and after it asked for a reboot i rebooted and it got stuck on samsung boot logo saying "Recovery not SEANDROID Enforcing" in top left corner.
So i googled how to remove root and how to get past this screen and many suggested stock rom. I tried that and odin (v3.09) wont get past "Write NAND!"
I let it set for 20 minutes and nothing happened so i googled and everyone claimed trying different usb hubs and cables so i did that. I've tried every usb hub on my pc(8) and all 3 cables i had. So then tried different version v3.10.7 of odin and it fails with following

SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 1
So now i'm just lost and scared at what to do. I googled "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 1" And my findings are just to use stock rom...but thats what i did in first place. So now i'm stuck with a phone that is continuously rebooting itself to the samsung boot logo....
G925PVPU1AOCF_G925PSPT1AOCF_G925PVPU1AOCF_HOME.tar.md5 is the rom im trying to flash with and i believe it is stock because got it off this forum from a post claiming it was the new stock updated rom.
Can someone please help? I can skype or teamspeak or ventrilo or just use this forum to help me but i'm beyond confused on what to do now...
edit- phone is continuously rebooting itself to the samsung boot logo...but i managed to make it stop by making phone sit in download mode...
edit2- i can not go into recovery or safe mode. All i can do is wtach my phone go to the boot logo "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge" screen then to black screen back to boot screen. And i can put it into download mode.... Thats it...The brick is real...
edit 3- 40 views and not one help lol, seems i'll be craigslist shopping soon.
You tripped the Knox counter, that is for sure. Since you can enter download mode that means it is still possible to install the stock firmware. Did you use the correct firmware for your model?

Is the stock rom i used to try and fix that recovery screwup.
i tried G925PVPU3BOJ7_G925PSPT3BOJ7_G925PVPU3BOJ7_HOME.tar which is a 5.1.1 stock rom and still same results!!!
Try performing a log cat. That is a low skill technique of diagnosing problems in android during a boot loop.

Getting this kind of log from odin. note this is copy from another thread, otherwise same but buildnumber is different..
I can't even flash twrp/philz recovery. without getting some error, PIT related.
I can't access recovery by anymeans as it wil boot up to that ''smart switch blablabla'' and pc will say it is not supported etc.
I only can access download-mode.
I have tried flash stock 5.1.1 PIT but it makes no difference.
This is 32gb model. How deep i'm in brown?
Got this working!
First i used odin 3.10.7 -> all fails
Then tried 3.10.6 -> first try successfully only that hidden.img was failed but i extracted from firmware and and flashed it after that.
Hope this helps someone.
if you had used smart switch on your pc, it was a lot easier............:good:
