This is a soft boot due to the fact you still have the ability to access recovery and such what i would suggest you do is get factory files and restore phone back to stock and start over this should fix your problem. If you look around XDA you will find the files you will need ODIN being the main tool you will use to flash your phone.

You have flashed a stock firmware with stock bootloader etc. using odin and still stuck in a soft brick ? remember to wipe the phone a rule of thumb i use is to wipe the phone 3 times before i flash and 3 times after i flash. during the first boot up it may take a little time to boot as it must rebuild the cache. I dont think it is a motherboard issue i think you may have just flashed a wrong file that needs to be wiped out before continuing on. i have had this problem in the past with a galaxy s2 when i was developing custom roms for it. it took me a couple of wipes and factory firmware reflashes but i eventually got the phone back in working order. look here for the factory files you will need to re flash your phone with odin ----> https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G925I/ also make sure you are using the latest version of ODIN you will to put your phone in download mode instead of recovery
Hi, could you fix it ?? I am facing the same issue.

OK so it seems a lot of people are having issues with boot loops when they are messing around with things. First thing. Your phone is NOT bricked or broken.
It's just unable to start due to something missing or broken. Don't panic, there's no issue. I did this the day I got my phone, and there was nobody to "help" as such, so I just fixed it myself.
These are the steps to fix a boot loop. If you do this correctly, it WILL fix it. But you must do it EXACTLY to the letter.
So here we go...
1) Turn off your phone. Unplug it from your computer etc
2) Hold down home, power, and volume UP. This will enter recovery mode. If you are using CF-Root, you'll get CWM recovery. If not, you get stock recovery. It doesn't matter which appears.
3) Choose to wipe user data from the menu.
4) Turn off the phone by long-pressing the power button.
5) Prepare ODIN on your PC by using task manager to kill any KIES processes, then open ODIN.
6) Put your phone into download mode (home + power + volume down)
7) Plug your phone into the computer using the factory USB cable. The leftmost box should go yellow and an ID number will appear.
8) Flash a stock ROM from those available in ODIN format, and the phone will boot correctly.
Alternatively, it is possible to flash VillainROM 1.1 if you are not comfortable in wiping via recovery, or if you cannot do so for any reason (corrupted kernel etc), as it wipes all users data when installing. Simply ignore steps 2 to 4, and flash VillainROM 1.1 via ODIN instead of the stock ROM.
Any questions about boot loops? Ask them here rather than making new threads.

one more question, do we have to do one more step to flash the stock kernel after we flash the stock rom?
I plug the phone into the pc, but my drivers dont seem to be working it fails to be recognised. I tried with another Galaxy S II, and this phone does appear on the pc. Im thinking its because my phone isnt in download mode?
Any ideas?
Legend, thank god for this topic
Filed under "Need to have handy!"
You can also try just 1 2 3 & 4 and see if phone boots .
Its done just that for me as i try to clear a bootloop from a wipe to stock .
jje
I had it myself and i was pretty happy that i uses the backup function from recoverymode cwm.
I would really really recommend that u use this BEFORE doing any critical changes to your phone.
I have a Boot loop after doing a full reset, It was installed with lightning rom
Now Odin doesnt recognize my phone, thats bacause i'm on other computer now (havnt installed the drivers jet)... i tried installing kies 2.0, didnt help... any suggestions?
Edit: is there no manually way to install you phone on you computer with manual drivers or something.... it's bacause odin still doesnt recognize my phone
EDIT2: I fixed my problem, for everyone that had same issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956 => these drivers work
I have done all the instructions and flashed with a stock rom with odin but my phone still does the boot loop any suggestions?

3.clear into factory data reset and flash stock rom = success
4.i still want to use lite'ning rom and flash it = boot loop

If when connecting phone to your pc and your phone is ON then download the latest version of kies from samsung as this holds the drivers to connect to your computer properly.
If you are talking about when your phone is OFF and using ODIN then it should pick up your phone but you wont be able to flash until you are in download mode.
only other thing id add is try using a different usb port, one that is like a mainboard port not a hub.

Jep having same issues, not really an issue but i'm also stuck with the villain rom If i try to flash it with lighting rom i have boot loop
this all has started with a full factory reset, when I was on the lightning rom, the full factory reset caused my bootloop and ever sence the only rom that works on my phone is the villain rom
Exactly same happens to me
I have literom v1.0 I cant flash 1.1 or even flash stock rom without boot loops
Guys it seems there's an issue with some custom ROMs. VillainROM seems fine, as people can safely return to it.
If you cannot get a ROM to flash, then instead of flashing a custom ROM at the end of the process, ODIN a stock ROM after the wipe. That should fix the issue.
It appears some custom ROMs have a bug with wrong permissions, preventing the system from booting.

Yes, it appears lightning rom can't cope with a full wipe when it's running. VR is set up to work after the full wipe, provided you re-install it via ODIN

Hey guys,
yesterday i flashed the latest unofficial temasek rom, before that i had cm 10.2.
at first it worked fine, but afterwards i also flashed the latest gapps.
it lagged a bit so i did a reboot but then it stuck at loading screen. i mean it seemed like it boots but it didnt continue.
i tried to get in cwm and it took about 5 minutes to get there, it said cant mount data etc.
i wanted to flash the normal cm11 but there was an error and then it couldnt start anymore. no blue circle.
after several minutes i got in the cwm and tried to flash different roms, at first custom via cwm, then i tried to flash the stock via odin and
it said it was successfull, but it wasnt. it still stuck at loading but its not frozen, the animation works well.
i tried wipes and factory reset but it didnt help. the only thing that works well is download mode.
its a normal unbranded s3.
thanks for helping

ensure that you wiped all data, cache and factory reset
clean wipe..this step is often omitted during installation.

Never factory reset from a custom ROM. It is recommended to do it from recovery. Your reset has wiped too much including important parts of the OS. Flash another copy again.

Thanks for ur concern but i cannot open my recovery it is just teamwin written on screen any other method plse describe.
Maybe it is just loading? If after waiting for 5 mins. can you enter recovery? If not can you enter download mode? If yes then download a copy of the stock rom from here and flash it via ODIN.

Dm verity verification failed is problem with Imei.
Have you tried to flash the firmware that I posted?
1st - go into download mode on device. Hold home power and up.
Plug device in to odin.. on odin it should have blue box saying COM:1 or something like that.
Extract the firmware and put the .tar file in AP.
Make sure auto reboot and re partition are UNCHECKED.
Then start.
Try this and post a screenshot on here of odin one it's finished.
I had exactly the same issue and flashing this firmware fixed it.

I had an costume ROM installed, but at one point, while trying to change the recovery it bricked, and I just received errors like "Messenger has stopped" for every sing app (even system) and the screen all blacked, then I reinstalled the costume ROM again, but it got worse, cause I could only see a black screen, and had to remove the battery. So I decided to go back to the original recovery and installed the original, official ROM, and when I installed it appeared "Unfortunately System UI has stopped" every second, so I wiped the data in the original recovery mode and it worked, but now it appears the message: "Unauthorized actions have been detected" and it asks to restart my phone, that message is appeared all the time too. How do I get rid of it?
And the boot when i turn the device on is still the one from the ROM Note 7 style (white), how do I change that to?
If you still have TWRP installed you can try this method to change boot logo.
For the other problem try to use your last working backup, if it won't work - wipe everything and then flash original image throught Odin.

I guess, I will need to install TWRP again, and do that to change the boot logo;
I never had a backup, so should I wipe everything again (In TWRP?) And then install the original ROM throught Odin again?
To be sure wipe everything including internal storage - recovery and download mode will remain, everything else will be lost so make a backup of important files. Download latest firmware from Sammobile and flash it through Odin (search for SamFirm on xda to download faster). That should do the work.
