Hi i have a galaxy s5 (sm-g900f) i had a lollipop rom and i wanted a marshmallow rom, when i got home i flashed via odin modem and BL , then did a wipe and flashed a custom marshmallow rom but it didnt boot, i waited like 30 minutes and didn't boot, i tried cleaning cache, factory reset, persisted. then i flashed via odin an official marshmallow rom and the same happened but when i cleaned cache and boot up it appeared "starting applications" then the boot logo stayed for another 20minutes and nothing happened... i tried superswipe too and i don't know what is happening, i'm awake for a long time trying to figure it out...
Please help :crying:
Don't worry. Can you still get it into download mode, or if you have a custom recovery, recovery mode?
If you can fix this, install LiveBoot, you can see what your phone will pause on if it happens again

No matter what I do I'm stuck in a boot loop. I tried flashing the lightning rom, the angelo rom, and even the stock ROM. I got the Stock ROM (KE7 came on phone) here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and opened odin with auto reboot checked. and f.reset checked, and I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1.tar goes into PDA and i click start and get a pass and a succeed, phone reboots, and starts, but once it gets to the animated samsung screen, it goes back to the first galaxy s 2 screen and keeps going back and forth. I went into CWM and wiped all cache, dalvik cache, and formatted system and data trying to start with a good clean wipe. I got a headache so im going to bed and look forward to waking up and someone having the answer to my problem posted right here. Please help
Hey man I got the same problem as you, I've tried everything you've said.
Problem started after I tried to do a factory reset this morning on litening 1.1.
had the same problem with the lightning rom ended having to do a factory wipe and loaded the villian rom now all is ok
Thanks mate, I'll give that a try and report back.
Hi all,
I am trying to update my phone to a new firmware using odin. I am following the instructions in this thread. However after odin has done its thing, it displays "PASS!", my phone reboots but then hangs on the boot animation. I have left it for about 20 mins and tried reflashing the rom with no luck.
I have also tried another firmware, but its gets stuck in a half bootloop (repeating the boot animation)
Does anyone know what might be causing this and how I can fix it?
Thanks
Aaron
Boot to recovery and wipe cache see if that works, if it still bootloops you'll need to boot to recovery and do a factory reset.
I booted into recovery and wiped everything, and it works now.
Thanks
Hey guys.
So the phone had this problem where it was stuck on the samsung Logo, so i flashed a complete stock Jellybean build (all correct and stuff, not a beginner ), also wiped data from recov just in case
Now heres the problem...
when the phone boots up, it goes through the first time "Optimizing Apps", but once it reaches a certain number, ittl reboot the phone then start going through it again and again.
Anyway i could somehow make the phone actually boot? Any help?
Thanks in advance
If you can enter recovery, do the wipes and a factory reset, then try to boot.
If you're in the same situation, flash the stock JB update using Odin and a pc. That will wipe your phone. Then flash TWRP for your recovery using Odin and a pc.
You will need to have the correct type of file for Odin.
Hi, I am currently using a Note 4 SM-N910F on 5.1.1.
I decided it was time for a change so I followed the steps for flashing a custom ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-kyubi-rom-note-5-t3220106. However I did everything correct but when I got to the stage of flashing the ROM I would reboot and it would get stuck in bootloop. I have tried wiping cache, Dalvik cache and factory reset. The only way to fix it was to flash stock firmware with Odin. But then I am just back where I started, so I tried flashing other ROM's but I had the exact same problem. Whatever ROM I flash I get stuck in infinite bootloop. In these bootloops I can get into recovery mode and download mode.
I am currently using custom recovery TWRP.
Please help me, I've done so much research for 3 constant days at least 6 hours each day just trying to fix the problem.
All I want to do is flash a custom ROM. I am able to root the phone without getting into bootloop. But, when I proceed to flash any ROM it puts my phone into bootloop.

If this is in the wrong section feel free to move it.
Hi I have a SM-N910F model which is proving extremely difficult to flash. I firstly flashed the latest Marshmallow UK BTU firmware on it which resulted in a boot loop. I cleared cache partition and wiped data/factory reset in the stock recovery (and TWRM recovery) but this did not fix the problem. So I flashed the phone again and this time it was stuck in a boot loop with the text "recovering booting..." at the top left. Tried the same as before and still didnt fix it.
So I then tried a different stock rom - Lollipop UK BTU firmware. This gave me the exact same problems as before. However on a few occasions, I also got an error on the recovery screen saying cache could not be mounted. I cleared the cache partition, tried reformatting cache using TWRM but none of this worked. Eventually I reflashed and it went away but the boot loop doesnt go.
Lastly I tried an even older firmware - Kitkat UK BTU firmware. This again gave me a boot loop problem. It also kept displaying the cannot mount cache error as well. I tried using PIT file to repartition the device and eventually the error went but the device would still be on boot loop. However on two occasions the phone did go past the Samsung logo and show the first setup screen (where you select initial settings like Wifi etc). After like 10-15 seconds it would just switch off and then go back into boot loop. I havent managed to get to the first setup screen again.
I have tried flashing with various different Odin versions but still no luck.
I feel like I have exhausted my options and not sure what to do. Do you think I should try a custom rom? If so, for the sake of getting it to start, which is a good lightweight rom?
Does anyone know what I can do to make these infinite boot loops and/or "cannot mount cache" error go away?
Anyone? I could really do with some help..
I think you have problem with motherboard, try to find original stock frimeware, by country. If not help try custom rom. I suggest any AOSP rom such as Lineage OS or CM.
Tried 3 different stock roms. Like I said it will either be in a boot loop, recovery loop, or give an cache mounting error. Im hoping that the motherboard is not faulty because it is not always the same problem
Hi , I think is because You have FRP (Factory Reset Protection) On which means you can't flash property your phone .
What U can try is to extract recovery.img from latest stock firmware for your Region .
Now use this script to transform recovery.img to recovery.tar.md5
here is how to do :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269
Put your phone in download mode click on AP: and choose recovery.tar.md5
After that click on Start .
If the flashing was OK , put again your phone in Download mode and flash completely the same firmware with original recovery.img inside it.
Good Luck
