I have rooted my device a few days ago and all was well. Today I tried to flash it to install a custom rom and now it's in a boot loop. Is there any way to get it out of a boot loop? I've tried the usual hold power button with all the type of key configurations and still no joy. I was thinking of un rooting it to try to get it back to stock but can't find the stock firmware can somebody please link me to it? I'm new to android so I'm a bit frustrated and worried as it's a lot of money I paid for it. Thabks
Try wipe CACHE and DALVIK cache in recovery (vol UP+HOME+POWER), then reboot.

Tried that but nothing happens when I do that. No android logo or anything the only thing it does is go into download mode.
Ok, try this. Official firmware. You dont write which variation you have, so this is for F. Download and install via Odin with Download mode.

Hey
Today I was on Team Win Recovery Project v2.21 and I wanted to flash a new mod in however half way, I accidentally click on reboot now.
I already - Factory reset my device
- Wiped Dalvik Cache Directories
then tried to flash in one of my rom i was flashing in but I got an error then clear dalvik cache directories again. After I tried to reflash my rom but it failed again.After this I accidentally reboot my device and now it is stuck on a screen with "Reboot.." as the title. I can not restart the my nexus 7, touch any keys given (home and back). When I press/hold power, it comes up with a look.
I am wondering if there any way to fix this problem

Reboot into bootloader (hold power to turn off, as soon as it does hold vol down)
Install the android sdk if you haven't. Download a recovery image from clockworkmod.com, put the image in your /platform-tools folder. Open a command Window there
Fastboot flash recovery xxxx.img
Fastboot boot xxxx.img
Dl a rom
Put it in your platofrm-tools folder
Adb push romxxx.zip /sdcard/Download
Flash the ROM in recovery
Reboot

When I turn on my tablet now, it automatically open up ClockworkMod Recovery. I am able to properly install a rom (wipe all data then install rom from sd) but when i reboot my device it goes back into clockwordmod recovery. Any idea how to bypass automatically booting straight into recovery mood and booting into flashboot?
EDIT
i am unable to push new roms in
mis-post, my bad.
My s4 doesn't boot anymore.
I can get into recovery.
I can flash another custom rom but still stuck at booting.
I did read somewhere that i need to wipe data/factory reset, but once i do that my phone just reboots and gets stuck again?
I can't flash a rom/recovery through odin since i can't boot my phone and so odin won't see my phone connected...
Any ideas how to get my s4 working again?

Flash philz recovery using odin and for that to work u need to have your phone in download mode
Unplug Power off then press volume down / home / power button all together till a screen comes there press volume up and connect to odin and flash recovery
Then goto recovery and wipe dalvik cache and wipe cache then reboot
If still stuck at boot flash stock firmware using odin using above method and then wipe cache / reset the reboot
Edit : also be clear abt what u saying I can go to recovery and flash rom it's confusing

Sorry, but totally forgot about this thread since i've gotten a lg g2
My phone won't boot in recovery or download mode.
Doesn't respond to anything....
Bought an Australian model galaxy S4 off ebay which was stuck at Samsung Logo with a hope I can unbrick it.
I have tried to flash with an official firmware twice. ODIN confirmed flashing Passed. But the phone still could not boot pass Samsung logo with model number.
+ Pressed volume up + Home + power button to enter into recovery mode but the phone still stuck at recovery mode with blue text "recovery booting ". Have tried to take battery out and redo few times. . All I can do is go to download mode to flash official firmware again. However I do not want to mess thing up as I have tried twice without success.
Please help me out if you have any idea how to fix it. I am much appreciate.
I am not sure if it will help or not but you can try flashing TWRP via Odin and then boot into that one (maybe recovery is corrupted as well?)
Clear cache / dalvik cache from TWRP and try booting to system again

Good idea of @th3cr0w.
I will add: It's important know what firmware had before you start to flash things. I supose you don't know it. What you can do is:
1. Flash TWRP recovery in DOWNLOAD MODE via ODIN unticking "Auto reboot". Take out the battery when the process finish. Wait 30 sec. and push it in again.
2. Boot in TWRP and wipe all (Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Select system, data, cache and dalvik cache).
3. Reboot in DOWNLOAD MODE and now yes, flash the firmware you wish via ODIN normally.
Same happens with my Galaxy s3 while ago, Problem was the EMMC chip was corrupted, And the problem was solved after replacing it from a local shop.

Thanks for your and TH3cr0w's suggestion. I will try it tonight and let you guys know. Hope I will fix it. A quick question before I do, once I install TWRP it is anyway I can remove it and reinstall official receovery?
I am using this firmware:
PDA I9505XXUGNH6
CSC I9505XSAGNH1
i have tried to install TWRP with this file twrp-2.8.6.0-jfltexx.tar 9.9M. However my phone still stuck and can not boot into recovery. up the top of screen i have following messages:
Recovery booting...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
Have i done anything wrong? Thanks
What you're seeing is normal, but recovery not installing isn't. I know you don't want to try it again, but flash your stock ROM through Odin. Do it this time with the following changes:
Add a PIT file (easily found on the forum).
Make sure "Re-partition" is selected.
The combination of the PIT file and the re-partition function should wipe the S4's internal storage and partition it properly. If there is no physical damage to the internal storage you should then be able to boot into the device. Otherwise you may have no choice but to have this beast repaired.
The only thread I could find similar to my issue was a gentlemen a few months ago not being able to recover from his boot loop.
I'm in a similar boat but after flashing cf auto root in Odin my poor tab is stuck in a boot loop and won't load past the US Cellular screen when booting up. I am able to get into stock recovery, but I am unable to enter download mode to flash the stock ROM. This is where my situation is different and I am searching for some help on the best way to get the stock rom working again.
Is there anything I can do to force my tablet into download mode? I hold the correct buttons but it tries to boot right up instead of entering download mode.
I greatly appreciate any help anyone can provide and thanks for reading!
In recovery mode do a factory reset and wipe dalvik and cache. For download mode, are you holding home, vol-, power, together in that order?
I did a factory reset and cleared cache but I don't think I cleared the dalvik so I'll try that as soon as I get home.
As far as getting to download mode, I am pressing the correct combination and after about 10 seconds the device tries to boot normally and if I'm quick enough I can get into recovery by switching to the volume+ button

After getting home and mashing the hell out of the buttons i got into download mode and am running stock again. If you don't mind me asking, what is the best way to root my model running lollipop 5.1?
Hi all,
I have try to go back to stock by follow this procedure.
- Coming from Official LineageOS
- Wipe cache, dalvik, data via TWRP
- flash bootstack and stock system from here
- restart system and everything work fine except I have an unlocked bootloader
- so I try to lock bootloader by using Axon7Toolkit from this thread
- The phone was restart but unable to boot to android coz it stuck with "Enter passcode" page and I have try any password include "default_password" but still fail
- I try to enter passcode several times till it guide me to factory reset instead to wipe all user data
- but when it try to factory reset, it stuck with a black screen when loading to recovery mode
Luckily, the phone still could enter to Factory Test Mode when I press Volume down + power button and could get on ADB
Anyone have any suggestion, please help... :crying::crying:
PS. I'm on G model

No, and I though it was reset to stock recovery because I did not flash SuperSU following step 7 in this thread
Finally solve !!
I've followed this thread again by re-flashing TWRP then do a factory reset and now it's on the way setting up !!
Thanks all
