So I have read through a lot of threads on here already about similar issues. But I cant find an exact answer to the problem Im having. I tried to get more space with my sd card so i downloaded foldermount, and I gave it access to external sd and rebooted. When I rebooted it stopped at the metropcs welcome screen and did nothing, I immediately knew it was soft-bricked. I tried taking the battery out restarting and still same problem. So i rebooted into TWRP recovery and instead of just getting my laptop and googling, I tried to factory reset but somehow i erased my rom because it said "No OS installed are you sure you want to reboot". So now it wont even go to the samsung screen or metropcs screen. it turns on but thats about it. I hooked it up to odin and flashed a stock rom but everytime i try, it stops at sboot.bin and then fails. I read that this is a problem with bootloader and imnuts has solved this proble, but he only did it for other phones, SO BASICALLY I NEED A BOOTLOADER FIX FOR STOCK ROM FOR SM-G550T1 (SAMSUNG GALAXY ON5)????
Have you tried to flash another rom? How long did you take your battery out for? In twrp, do you have adb access?

Yes, I have flashe three different roms now. I have the same issue every time. And i took the battery out for a few minutes but i dont think thats the issue its that I'm missing an operating system. And in TWRP i do have adb but i forget what ADB does.
Also, with the help of youtube, I created a nobootbinrom.tar or something like that and flashed with odin to no avail. It was a complete waste of time.

Hi everyone,
So, I think ive damaged my internal memory...But let me give u some info first.
UK SGS3 i9300 on vodafone. I rooted it a while ago and have had several roms. I know the basics of android hacking since I've hacked several as well as my previous 2 contract phones. I was on paranoidandroid 2.22 or w.e. version it was, however I wanted to go back to a sammy rom, and decided to clear my internal sdcard n ext sdcard (more or less - leave my music folder on there foe example) at the same time. I only mention this because my lead has been a little touchy recently and during the process it disconnected a fair few times till i got the cable sat right. I didnt have easy ums or anything - it was mtp. I completed this and loaded my rom onto the extsdcard.
I then went into the cwm touch recovery 6.xx or w.e. selected factory reset, wipe cache n dalvik, then installed it. It just got stuck at the boot logo for a while, then kept boot looping. I then tried wiping a few times, and a couple of different roms, and during this time I noticed that when I click wipe data it rebooted recovery. I then downloads the appropriate stock firmware to flash via odin. I flashed it and it was still stuck on the boot logo. I then realized I couldnt get into recovery, so I flash cf-root via odin, I got the 5.xxx recovery that comes with it. I tried to wipe all again, and it just didnt seem to work, I was stuck in a bootloop. I then posted this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948255
So yeah with adb, I got it to boot, but i had the wrong size internal memory capacity. Then tonight I flashed twrp (a recovery if u dont know) (latest version) via goomanager and then selected in goo manager ti reboot recovery. Now my phone just goes from the sgs3 logo to the twrp logo and back, even if I boot normally, it does that, and same for trying to boot recovery. I can still get into download mode, but thats it.
I have since tried flashing the stock firmware again to no avail, I'm going to flashing cf root to get recovery... but we'll see what happens...
so what can i do?!?!
Have you tried flashing complete stock firmware through Odin? Then start from there?
You say internal memory is wrong? Might have to flash .pit aswell with re-partition?

yes I have, several times, if u read it all... Where can i get teh CORRECT pit file? I've tried one, but it didnt help.
I've just flashed cf root (after a pass on stock firmware) and its booted the ultima rom again... and still got 12.1gb internal... so my phone boots again, but the internal is still wrong! help!
You know that some of the 16gb is taken for the system files right? My phone only reports like 11.6gb in total to use.
Android reserves about 4gb that's why you only have 12gb free there is no problem there.

That's normal, the 12.1GB is COMPLETELY normal.
Other memory is reserved by the system.
This is usual and it should work that way, stop messing with it.
32GB models should have about 25GB~.

oooookk, TT used to show 16gb tho.... i remember i like the fact it read 16gb sd & 16gb extsd. nvm, im just wrong. thanks. I'll use it as it for now, still not 100% convinced but ya know... never had this sort of trouble with my HTC's :/
I'd just like to thank fellow-idiot for this thread, had similar situation (semibricked device, flashed something I should not have been flashing), and now my Internal is 11.3, and I seem to remember it was 14.7, just like my external - but I may be wrong. Changing ROMs, formating Internal, changing recoveries (now on Teamwin Recovery) doesn't seem to change a thing about it. Oh well, not that I'm gonna need it, just wondering where it went (never said hallo either... no manners, today's internal memories..)
11.3 is what it should be
Hello, I'll try to explain what happened to get where I am now, and explain with details the last errors of my GT-9100.
I had a stock room jelly bean 4.1.2 installed. I had Android encrypted + SDCARD encrypted, and decided to format, but I didn't undo the encryption. As result, after master reseting it, it asked for a password do decrypt (as always asked when I turned the phone on), but it wasn't recognizing my password anymore. So I tried to clean and wipe all possible things, which ended on the device stucking at boot (doing boot loops, not asking for password anymore). I got an error on CW Recovery E: Could not load emmc (sounds like my internal storage is gone)
Later on, I tried to re-install the ROM, but got alot of trouble with windows drivers. Couldn't get any rom installed again. My device was then stuck at start, not even showing the white Samsung Galaxy S II GT9100 screen. After trying a variety of MODEMs, Kernels, I always get stuck on boot.info, zimage (kernel) on ODIN (Both 1.85 and 3.07 versions).
The only thing that has worked so far is changing the bootloader to the stock version. After doing this, my smartphone turns on on Chinese language. The ROM loaded is a jelly bean, but it has no status bar, can't open camera/folder explorer, can't do calls, can't acess internet, doesn't even show the configuration menu. And everything is chinese. BTW Calculator was working lol.
So this is the situation. Has my internal storage been gone forever? Is there a way I can flash without being stuck at boot.info or zImage when trying to flash kernel, both on Odin messages? Or is my phone really bricked? Thansk alot, I'll pay close attention to this.
EDIT: I haven't found after a day of research anyone that did data wipes in an encrypted phone, so this can be a guide for any future similar case.

No I haven't. Is there any online link here? I couldn't find it.
Solved
After a day looking for it, I solved my problem
I tried several kernels, roms with almost all odin versions. The best one for gt-I9100 was odin 1.87.
This was the deal: After cleaning the encrypted internal storage, it got corrupted. So one of the first steps to get my phone reacting again to ODIN when installing new ROMs was installing the original GT-9100 .PIT file and re-partitioning (Even with every forum/site telling me I should never do it).
So, if you ever do the same mistake as me, try this:
Install a new kernel, then .PIT original file. Get a proper MODEM file, and finally try flashing your ROM.
I also got alot of problem with my USB cable, which is kinda damaged, so out of 10 plug-ins, only a few would work for ODIN. Try getting a brand new cable.
That's it.

Add [SOLVED] to the title.
I let my galaxy tab 10.1 die completely and it sat for several months without being used. When I turned it on, it was stuck in a bootloop. Tried to do a factory reset but, it would freeze in the middle of the reset. I really don't want to spend $150 to send this to Samsung for them to do something I can possibly do myself.
Is this a common issue with these things?
I have seen several forums and youtube videos where flashing was required to fix this problem, is this the only way to fix this problem?
Where can I download ODIN without all the other crap that some of these sites are trying to pass off as ODIN?
Step by step instructions would be helpful as I am not computer stupid, but have never done something like this before...

1. Let it fully charged
2. If you never flashed a custom recovery, do the factory reset again through the stock recovery mode. That should do it.
3. If you are rooted, get odin [http://odindownload.com/],
get a custom Recovery e.g. [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1733045], install it using ODIN
4. Extra, install a custom ROM e.g. nameless [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716016] or the stock ROM [http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...wnload-link-samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-t2807422]

Thanks for the reply:
this is not a rooted device. How do I do the factory reset through the stock recovery mode? I am sure it's what I have tried several times and it still freezes in the middle of the recovery. I have gotten as far as putting in the date and time and then... nada back to where I have started. I am a noob, sorry

Stuck in the bootloop also, saw this post so asking here first. I'm going to do some more searching, but if I flash the ROM will I lose all photos, music, videos and the sort? Don't care about the apps, just the data. I don't have an SD Card on this thing which I keep reading on other posts some folks have. It's a P7510 32 GB Wifi Only.
I'm trying to get the user files off a phone with corrupted cache. When booted normally, it gets stuck on the white T-Mobile splash screen. When booting into recovery, I get an error about the cache and the phone restarts without loading into recovery. Screenshots attached.
I can get into download mode fine.
Using Odin to flash a custom recovery gives me the PASS message, but when I restart the phone, the stock recovery is still there with the same error message. I've tried TWRP and CWM.
I am hesitant to try flashing a custom ROM because I don't want to lose the data. The phone is not important, but the data is.

Dont try flashing a custom ROM on to the phone. Try flash the stock ROM through the lastest odin with the lastest drivers and let me know how that works out for ya. Unless that wipes the phone ( havent used it in quite some time) then I have no idea man.
I tried flashing the T399UVUAMJ4 ROM throught Odin. It went through the entire process and rebooted, but nothing changed. Does this mean the bootloader is locked?

I'm not sure maybe want to ask someone else I'm not as experienced as some people on here. Sorry man goodluck
I hope someone can help you out. I would say your cache partition somehow got renamed but I'm not sure if thats possible and if so how to fix it. Maybe someone with ADB knowledge can help?
Also what TWRP were you trying to install? I've had problems when I tried to flash older versions
okay so here is a site with the original firmware for the phone. It has both the t399 and the t399n for odin. It has them labeled so its not too confusing lol. http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f200/samsung-t399n-metro-pcs-firmware-here-1899016/
find the one for the t399, flash it with odin. this will fully restore your phone. HOPEFULLY it will be able to save the data. I know you said you did this before but I'm not sure if it was just system or everything like here.

Thanks for the quick reply. Its a shame to hear that it didn't work
How did you come to this? as to me it seems the partions have be modified hence why giving those errors I seen similar errors to when users change cache sizes which tends to brick device or from using incorrect pit files.
You never be able to recover data from flashing Odin may be slim chance by custom Rom thru recovery if was a bkup of original system and not selecting data your old data may conflict causing either bootloop or basically stuck on splash screen.
If you was ever able to best way to pull data from device would be thru adb may have a chance.
This phone belongs to a friend of a friend. They said they brought it to T-Mo because it hung up during boot. The store worked on it for a few minutes, but couldn't get it to boot up either. When I tried to go into recovery, they said the store already went into that screen too. They have since bought a new phone, but would like to get the photos off it if possible. They never had an SD card so it's still on the device.
At the moment, I can just go into download mode. I was hoping to flash a custom recovery so I might possibly be able to ADB from there since it won't load the stock recovery.
I have a very similar issue but without "cache error messages". The phone (Samsung Galaxy Light with stock ROM and TWRP) just reboots no matter what I try to flash into it.
It does it while "drawing" the Samsung Logo animation (blue ring that gets created revealing the word samsung), so after the white wrintings of the phone name.
My attempts so far:
1. Flashed newer version of TWRP
2. Flashed CWM
3. Flashed two different versions of stock ROM (the original one and the one that T-Mobile released when upgraded to latest jelly Bean)
4. Flashed a custom ROM (Light ROM found here which is based on the stock one).
EVERY TIME the outcome was the same:
Phone reboots right after the phone name (written in white) while the Samsung animation starts. It just stops while the blue oval begins to appear. If I try to boot into recovery (via home/power/volume up combo) it shows the TWRP splash screen but it reboots right after and this happened even after I flashed (successfully according to Odin) CWM.
It really looks like I did nothing so far but I can assure it's not the first time I use Odin (4 different versions) to flash a custom recovery or a ROM. I did it successfully on other 4 different phones (all samsung).
On this same phone I did it the first time when flashed TWRP in order to root it via recovery.
I have no idea what to do next. I was thinking about using adb in order to wipe all the caches (dalvik included) but it looks like the phone can't be recognized unless I boot it into recovery mode (adb get-state returns "unknown") and I don't think I can do anything in Download mode which is the only mode I can enter apparently.
I was hoping someone here can help me to spare some money buying a new phone for my wife and tossing this one which is the best for its small size imho.
Thank you in advance to anyone interested in at least shading some light on what could have happened. This started to happen out of the blue and the last time I actively modified something (updating the recovery) was almost one year ago... It always worked like a charm until 4 days ago...
EDIT: To clarify: the reason why I posted here is because this looked like a problem the most similar to mine (boot loop or stuck at boot and can't enter either regular or recovery mode). I cannot create new posts due to my low "rank" yet... Please feel free to move this if you think it belongs to a separate thread.

ok so i read all that you have done which is basically everything i would of suggested to you other then could it be the battery may be faulty just random thought noticed you never mentioned trying kies you may have a chance with it beening detected as i see you can enter download mode so that help with odin also kies also have you tried firmware from here sam mobile here T399 or T399N OH2 lastest for tmo and OH3 for metro.
Try to only flash that thru odin i use 3.07 or 3.09 only difference is the pda button changes to AP .works perfect for me so i suggest it then returning back to stock recovery/firmware if it boots then awesome. then return to TWRP 2.8.4.0 beening lastest for this device also needed for CM12 also my projects for device current and future.
when using odin make sure that only “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” options are selected.
also just note when going into twrp release buttons as soon as you see logo otherwise it will continue to boot thru well happens to me when daydreaming lol.
also if your seeing this adb get-state returns "unknown" i believe installing kies may install the drivers for detection im not postive on that but im sure it something to do with missing the adb driver for device maybe another dev can confirm this ?
hopefully this may be of some help i keep on thread to see how the outcome goes
Thanks for the reply DJBoxer!
Regarding the battery it's a new one and I can confirm it's not a battery problem considering that the phone can stay in download mode and unplugged from any power source for very long times without turning off/rebooting and it never failed to keep the charge so far. I also tried with the old battery and the phone behaves exactly the same way.
I used 3 different versions of Odin (1.87, 3.07 and 3.09) with only “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” options selected and every time I got the PASS message even though the phone keeps rebooting after the first reboot once the procedure is terminated.
To clarify one thing : when I said "it shows the TWRP splash screen but it reboots right after and this happened even after I flashed CWM" I meant to point out that it looks odd to see the TWRP splash screen (even for just a few seconds) after I just flashed CWM and that makes me think that I'm really not flashing anything here...
Thank you very much for taking the time of posting the links and I actually didn't try with that latest OH2 version.
I am downloading it right now (it takes a while from sammobile) and I will keep you posted on the outcome.
I will try to flash it via Odin and I'll also try the latest version mentioned on sammobile (Odin3_v3.10.7).
Regarding Kies I wasn't able to have it recognize the phone. I may be missing something but I tried updating drivers and going through all the guided procedures with no luck... If you say it should recognize the phone right away while in download mode then something is amiss.
Could you please confirm that I should also be able to use adb commands with the phone connected via USB in download mode? Cause that doesn't look like the case either...
Thank you again and I'll give updates here about my last attempts.
Sorry for the late reply...
Nothing changed by the way...
I am about to send the phone back to the seller who told me they'll try to fix it. Let's see how it goes.
Help
so i just got the lg g5, used. unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp/rooted it, and tried to install linage os, which worked pretty good but the battery draw was insane.
i then proceeded to install fulmics rom. now i'm stuck on a bootloop which starts the recoverymode everytime.
does anyone know what to do? i'm not smart enough to get behind the kdz/tot flashing whatever it is called. i didn't came to any conclusion, tried flashing the boot.img and bootloader.img, a new kernel and other roms, also the flashable original firmware through sdcard, fixed permissions, repaired the directories but it still didn't change a thing. i always land into the recovery mode.
i really hope there is someone out there who can tell me what is going on maybe
so i got it working again.
what i did? i forced myself into recovery via holding power button and then doin the click which asked me the yes, yes again.. and all of sudden it works like nothing happened lol. had to reinstall the rom though
Anymore info on this and what you did exactly to come out of the "recovery bootloop" as I also have the same issue and suspect others may also run into this
What I did to get recovery loop:
ReRoot and flashed latest TWRP
Flashed Nougat Firmware via TWRP
Flashed Fulmics1
Reboot and then recovery loops
-
FYI for anyone else having this issue
Looking at other threads and noticed mention of this command a few times
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/624000.ufshc/by-name/misc
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/624000.ufshc/by-name/fota
the path on my G5 (H850) was instead /dev/block/platform/SOC/624000.ufshc and once run corrupted the device
Guess I'll reflash KDZ and try again.
This worked for me

I just wanted to draw attention to this thread, because I searched for a bit and there seems to be dangerous advice (dd zero) out there and flashing. This trick worked for me right away. Thanks.
Running H850, might also work for other people stuck in TWRP bootloop with other models.
