I rooted my T-Mobile Sidekick 4G successfully yesterday and bit off more than I could chew by installing a custom ROM Revolution HD to be exact. Loaded it through ROMmanager with CWM recovery but when loaded was stuck in a splash screen boot loop (it would give the error vibrations (4 buzz) seen when a program is unresponsive (over and over).
I used ODIN to try to restore the original ROM and was successful through the process until ODIN rebooted my phone. Now I loop through color bar screens and when trying to enter download mode (3 button combo (I'm doing it right because thats how I ran ODIN in the first place)) get the a cycle between the 'loading circle animation, white screen, black screen and repeat. Note: Did not unroot
Phone does not enter recovery through button combo nor download mode with USB+button combo. Basically no way for it to connect to ODIN (Haven't used a Jig to force download mode but read it won't work because I can't even get to recovery.
Question (finally i know): If there are no other solutions, I am considering sending the phone through device replacement, is there anyway Samsung can tell if the phone is rooted even if the device is completely unbootable and can't communicate through usb?
I've read a lot of 'probablys' and 'maybes' online but haven't found a solid answer yet.
Thanks!
pictures attached to get a better idea.
EDIT: Repartitioned option was select during ODIN process, just read I WASNT supposed to do that?
Dear all.
First of all, thanks for your attention, I really appreciate.
I have a GNote 10.1 Wi-Fi version (N8013) with stock Android 4.1.
My S-Pen was getting me crazy, because I was not able to use it correctly on the edges of the device. I tried an app that supposed to reset the alignment, but I did not work, so I googled and found that the only way to fix it was "factory reseting" the tablet.
So, I installed the TeamWin recovery and backed up my data. After that I hit the button "reboot". But before rebooting, the recovery screen "told me" that I was not rooted and "asked" if I would like to install SuperSU to get root access. I checked YES and rebooted.
After that I got stucked at the "Samsung Galaxy Note" screen (see attached file).
I've tried to switch off the note, but the screen goes off for one second and it lights up again at the same screen.
If I plug the USB cable and try to switch it off, the note goes to the battery charging screen. If I remove the USB and push the power button again, the tablet gets back to the "Samsung Galaxy Note" screen.
Odin seems to "connect" with the tablet.
I can enter both the download mode and the recovery mode (not the teamwin recovery).
Attached pictures of what I get.
Any sugestions?
Thanks!!!
Everything is ok now
Dear all,
Hope I can help you if you have a problem similar to mine.
I remembered that a PC with no OS stops on some screen, but everything else works, just as what was happening with my note.
I tought that I might have wiped more things than I should, so, the only thing I had to do was to restore the backup that I had.
To do this I should reinstall the TWRP and the only way was via Odin.
Solved the problem this way:
1. Downloaded the Odin (http://techbeasts.com/2013/08/08/download-odin-pc-latest-version-v-3-07/)
2. Downloaded the TWRP file (http://techerrata.com/get/twrp2/p4noterf/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-p4notewifi.tar)
3. Connected the Galaxy Note to my PC using the USB cable
4. Entered the "download mode"
5. Loaded the file from step 2 into the tablet using Odin
6. Rebooted the tablet
7. Entered the recovery mode (TWRP was working)
8. Restored the backup that I had
9. Rebooted again
Did the dance of victory!!!
I am so glad to have my device back.
Regards

Hi all
mine neither.. followed your steps with odin but still stuck in start screen (Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1). By the way mine is the 8010. I tried almost everything. Cant even load the recovery mode!.... And Have no backup either.
PLease someone help me...
Thank you in advance
I have an SM-P600
My Note 10.1 2014 Edition is stuck on the tablet title screen, not sure if its in reboot mode it returns to this screen if I try to shut it off... basically Its frozen, and when I try to shut it off it goes away a few seconds and comes back. This happened after I rooted with KingRoot, and tried to Flash a ROM, Im a complete Noob and should have done my homework... but I didnt. I see everyone suggesting odin and going into download mode... I can get to download mode but I am using a macbook pro, and there are very little options to use odin, I tried Jodin3... and Heimdall... no luck...
PLEASE HELP !
HELP stuck on Samsung screen
I didn't any root or install a different firmware to mine.
But after charging it I removed the cable and it rebooted and got stuck on the Samsung screen. I can only access to Download mode. I didn't have any Recovery mode installed, and now I can't install one successfully via Odin...
I tried to install a new firmware... a recovery mode... nothing is working...
Please I need HELP...
@ agelcer: Was your tablet rooted?
Hello. I havea similar problem with my note 2 phone. It will not get past the
samsung screen. My cpu knowledge is very limited. Are you open to accepting payment for attempting to fix my cell phone? All I want is the pictures off of it if that is all you can do to it. Pleass email me at [email protected] if you or anyone you know can help. Thanks....Jay
Same thing is happening to mine. I tried Odin but after the download the srceen goes black and then comes back to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 screen.
Hello folks.
Same problem here with a n8000.
It had the stock unrooted rom probably JellyBean.
Can only access Download Mode, nothing else.
I get connection to Odin, tried to flash original firmware, 4 file firmware, re-partition with pit file, flash a custom recovery, all seem to pass through but nothing changes, still stuck on 'Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1' screen, never moves on to boot animation and still can't access Recovery Mode.
However, something else I triy with Odin and it FAILS is ticking 'Nand Erase All'. It won't let me erase nand.
Could this mean some kind of memory corruption?
Does it have anything to do with EMMC?
If it does, is there a possible way to fix without replacing the hardware?
What else can I try before giving up?
It would be nice if other users who report this problem attempt to Nand Erase All and see if it also FAILS..
Thanks alot and sorry for the long post.
Edit: after posting I found this which is PROBABLY THE SOLUTION for me.
And here is another topic on this issue.
did you find the solution?

I assumed from my searches the solution would be JTAG or replace the EMMC.
Since I don't have the resources for any of those, I just abandoned it to the dust and rust..
bootloader
Is this after the boot loader is updated?

I'm not very clear about bootloader upgrading, but I guess it was included in the 4 file firmware I tried flashing and it said 'success' but nothing changed..
I think it ain't just a softbrick since I can't erase nand..
What's your background, osirisx69?
This happened to ours as well just today. Unplugged it rebooted it and it's stuck. Can only access the Odin mode.

i got same issue at last 4 months
just try reset then got same issue.
Same problem for 3 months. Guys have anyone tried jtag flashing firmware as in this post which was provided earlier?
I was recently given an S6 from a friend who won it but already had one. I was excited to try and root it, foolish of me to think about maybe getting more information, and I attempted a CF-Autoroot. The root claimed, in Odin 10, to have succeeded. However, it fails to boot entirely. The grey android screen that flashes the word "erasing" as the loading bar progresses during firmware reboot makes it half way before restarting. Now I can boot into Odin mode, and I can boot into recovery. USB debugging was off at the time the phone started to act up so that's a no go. I have tried multiple times in restoring it to no avail. The phone recovery says "failed to mount /efs."
Odin mode said custom and then, after using kies to attempt a restore, would fail to complete and once again get stuck on SAMSUNG screen. If I Return to Odin mode I would notice that the system went back from custom to Samsung again, though the knox counter was still at 1.
I am able to load TWRP and occasionally manage to format and tweat partitions to mount the phone in recovery but can't transfer any files.
I have access to a USB OTG device that loads via mini usb port in the device. This phone has caused me a lot of grief and I Can't think of any way to recover it. Essentially I am left with a brand new device that is worthless. Is there anyone out there with experience recovering this error.
Also I am unable to obtain the lost emergency firmware recovery number.
Thank you in advance for all the time and efforts that I hope will be provided. I have spent many days on this device trying to simply make it work.
Regards, Desmond
I have a very exaggerated problem for this device, the first time I gave Stock ROM through Download Mode, it started, I went to lunch, when I came back he had given a (Blocked Writing) error in the middle of the process, now at that moment I know how to solve this problem, but as I did not know, I tried to flash ROM again in Odin, and every time I was locking in aboot.mbn, after several attempts, several different computers, different USB cables ... different tests, now in this exact Odin crashes in Initialization, does not leave there for nothing, leave a long time it says that the device did not respond, I tried to reestablish the PIT that is the Partition Table using Odin, however it hangs anyway in initialization, I researched a lot, I tried Unbrick methods through files on SD Card, tried several Rom Stock and also tried to install a Custom Recovery, however everything fails, after all, in all cases it crashes in initialization, hey sso not only happens in a single System, then I decreed this cell phone as deceased .. the ****ing thing died, I saw in some places that they said that the problem was Hard Brick, that is to say, problem in the motherboard parts, and the solution would be change the motherboard of the entire device, but this is very expensive ...
Sansung Kies is only connecting and after a while he says that the device did not respond, if I turn the phone on, and do nothing, it goes to a Download screen only instead of the green android in the middle, a message appears talking to do Firmware Upgrade using Sansung Kies, and if I hold the buttons to enter the recovery mode, nothing happens and it's the same thing to turn it on normally, and if I hold the Download Mode buttons, it goes into Download Mode normally only in both cases Odin locks in initialization ..

Hey Community,
i´ve got some problems after i tried to fix my Galaxy S5 (SM-G901F). One day i accidentally dropped my phone and purple spots started to show up on my screen until eventually all of it was covered and the phone was therefore unuseable. So i thought my screen was the issue, which is why i bought a third-party screen. After i installed the screen i tried to boot up my phone, which is when i first started to notice the problem.
My phone won´t boot. It´ll show the screen, which says "Samsung Galaxy S5/ Powered by Android), but then it just goes black for a few seconds and then it starts all over again. So i thought it would help to wipe the cache by going into recovery mode, but it turned out that i have no access to the recovery mode, whereas i still have access to the download mode. I tried to flash a new recovery using odin, but the problem stays the same.
Then i had the idea, that the logic board might have a problem, which is why i bought a new logic board. After i installed it i tried to boot the phone up, but then the same problem appeared as i described above. This time i didn´t even have any access to the recovery and the download mode.
I would appreciate any help i could get.
Please contact me if you have any further questions.
