Hey guys,
I have a rooted Note 3 from verizon on the hyperdrive rom. today I got a message from SUbinary (something like that) that there was an update and that I need to reboot to update. So I just clicked okay and my phone restarted. However since then I'm stuck in a boot loop with the blue message in the upper left corner saying "recovery loading.." with the note 3 white logo appearing. Then the phone vibrates twice and comes back to the same screen. I don't see the custom/lock picture like I used too. I've tried multiple times to take the battery out but no luck. I can't seem to actually enter the recovery panel at all. I've tried holding the home/power/volume up but it just starts the boot loops again. Not sure what to do. I just want to the phone to work but it seems like a hard brick?

If you soft brick then u can only access download mode and if you hard brick then you need an expert. The problem is that verizon and at&t have locked bootloaders. Safestrap recovery is usually used there.
Can you reflash safestrap recovery via Odin ?
This link might be helpful cause im not so used to safestrap only know the basics.

If you cant access the recovery and only download mode then you have soft brick and need to reflash stock firmware.
I just got this phone alittle over a month ago. Today at work, my phone randomly shut down and started continuously restarting. The phone will vibrate and boot the logo, then turn into a black screen, vibrate again, and restart. I had not modified my device at all. Just downloaded your typical apps like anyone else. I already tried taking out the battery and letting it sit and booting in recovery mode and wiping the cache and restoring to factory settings. I also tried to use odin to flash what i think is my firmware onto the device. I wasn't able to figure out the firmware of the device before I did it so i sort of guessed based on the model. Though all i did for this is download what i thought was the firmware, put it in odin3.4, entered download mode and plugged my device in and let it download. I didnt do any rooting or enable debugging/disable debugging before i used odin. Did I miss a step? Does anyone have any suggestions of something I else do. I am so confused on how this happened to my phone!
First thank you for viewing my question and issue.
I'm new in here hoping to find a solution to my problem. I bought a used S4 I9500 last year it was lagging acting up slow did a search and read online that I might need to install better version via Odin (I'm totally new to the android world so I think I did a mistake here somewhere). So I did install I9505 version which I thought will work fine. (sorry for not doing enough researches coming from IOS which is less complicated). The phone apparently did a restart and got stuck on the Samsung logo which kept glowing for few minutes.
It was mid night by the time I was cracking this stuff out, so thought to myself to keep it plugged and go n rest for few hours. I woke up and the Phone was still stuck on the Samsung logo which was glowing not like paused or something. The phone was hot so i thought I should stop the whole operation before something worst happen. Did some searches and found that people are fixing this issue by going to recovery mode or download mode etc.
The thing is Vol+ and home button + power or Vol+ and power trick doesn't show the menu anymore. When i click any of these it just does a random reboot showing Galaxy I9500 logo and then back to the glowing samsung logo. notice that I was able to go to download mode and recovery mode prior to this issue but now I just can't for some reasons.
Would appreciate any help. Thank you
Find someone that can use Jtag maybe they can fix it.
Hard lesson for you. Never flash a firmware for another device onto your phone.
If they can't fix it, then you can buy a new phone. You bricked it.
Can anyone PLEASE help??
My partner opted to do a suggested update on her S5, but didn't notice the wifi was off. The phone seemed to have done the update, but shortly after it rebooted itself, then again, then again. The frequency of reboot got quicker and quicker and now it loops between the Galaxy S5 splash screen and the SAMSUNG logo, but doesn't go any further.
I managed to boot the phone into reset mode, cleared the cache and then did a factory reset, but that did nothing to prevent the boot loop.
I then downloaded Odin (ver 10.3.7) and what I believed to be the correct firmware (G900FXXS1CPLV_G900FVFR1CPJ1_G900FXXU1CPIW_HOME.tar.md5).
Having checked the battery was charged, I followed the instructions of connecting the phone via USB, loading the md5 in the AP, checking Auto Reboot and F-Set time in the options and clicking the Odin Start button. I had removed the battery, replaced it and then booted it into the update mode (Power, Home, Volume Down, then volume up) with the screen confirming I was in the right place (....do not unplug.... etc).
The file loaded, (green bar at top of the Odin window on my PC) and Odin reported success. I then disconnected the phone, booted in recovery mode, reset the cache and then did a clear data, factory reset.
The same symptoms prevail, STUCK IN BOOT LOOP!!!!
The only thing different is that if I plug it into the USB on my PC, after a while the phone tries to turn itself on and goes into either a boot loop or freezes on the Galaxy S5 Splash screen or the SAMSUNG Logo.
I am charging another battery (just in case that is in some way to blame) and will try again to replace the firmware, but could I be missing something, do I need to do anything with PIT (I thought this was all taken care of by Odin using the MD5 file) or is there some other test I can perform that will show if the phone is fried???
MANY THANKS for looking!
ur going correct, try to reflash it again through odin and dont disconnect phone until it boots into system, it is taking some good time, so just wait and dont do anything this time like clearing anything or restoring. i hope ull get success.
THANKS - but...
Thanks Rayzen, I will try the whole thing again, but I think there is something more to this than a firmware fault!
There and gone again
OK, so on the 4th attempt I got the phone to take the firmware using Odin, it reported success and the phone rebooted itself (several times) and eventually appeared to boot to a new factory reset.
I put in a SIM card and entered my email and google account details and left it charging over night. This morning when I tried to use it, the screen froze and then it rebooted itself. Hey presto, the phone is back to square one with a boot loop.
ANYONE (please) got any suggestions?
THANKS
No one??
same here, same symptoms, same feeling.
when flash gone right... i feel lucky.. but for half hour only, rebooted and angain in boot loop.
I cannot even boot in recovery. flashed TWRP. from 5 boots in recovery only 1 success.
When trying to wipe phone in TWRP - it hangs.
still trying to install some other (custom) rom. still no success.
hope never dies
same things happened here! now cant get samsung galaxy s5 to boot...............
Are you sure your using right firmware? as it took me a few versions before it booted last time this happened?
Could any please confirm what is the right firmware for samsung galaxy s5 900F
It took another 6 or 7 attempts, left it over night and was about to trash it when it booted.
I then received a 'software update available' message and tried installing it. First attempt put the phone back into boot loop so I reflashed it again using Odin.
That worked immediately the over the network software update installed and now phone is 100%
Very frustrating but I got there!
glad you fixed it! ive tried three different firmwares and still nothing.
trying this one atm
G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FEVR1AND1_G900FXXU1ANE2_HOME.tar
oh and how long do they take to boot when there are sitting at the samsung glowing screen?>
I'm in UK and used what (I had to guess) was the best firmware.
I'll let you know which version it was when I get home tonight.
BUT I had all the problems with a single version and it eventually came good.
I read somewhere that overwriting a different core (from specific providers) with generic firmware, could lead to a world of pain until it gets full replaced... not sure if that's a good description (or has any fact to it) but it seemed to be re-loading and re-loading and re........ for ages, finally cracked it.
well mines booted now!but getting constant errors about samsung push!
If it'still booted, you'very made progress!
Push issues are mentioned elsewhere and can (eventually be sorted) but if you have a booted phone you should be able to get an over the air software update installed from the service provider....?!
I have Samsung S4 GT-I9515 LTE Black Edition bought in UAE. I had official Android Lollipop updated through air.
Few days ago my phone switched off automatically and when i tried to switch back on it was stuck on Samsung S4 Logo screen. I tried getting in into Android System Recovery by press VolUp+Home+Power but i see the same logo screen with Recovery Booting.... message on the top right corner of the phone, it does not go any further than that.
I am just able to start the download mode in my phone. So i tried flashing it with the stock rom of ver. 4.4.2 which i downloaded from sammobile I9515XXU1ANL1_I9515YJV1AOB1_XSG. After many failed attempts i was finally flash the rom successfully but the problem was not solved.
If i start the mobile in recovery mode it gets off after been stuck on recovery booting screen. if i connect the charger while keeping the mobile off it keeps on vibrating every one second. if i try simple power start it is stuck on the logo screen forever.
Please help me to start my phone i am new to learning flashing phone so please tell me if i am doing anything wrong. Thanks.

You do not need to flash 4.2.2 as the boot loader has now changed. Find lollipop 5.0.1 for the phone you have on Sammobile and flash that instead. Make sure it is for UAE black addition.
