I was running CM13 for a while with no issues but I decided today to go back to stock because I want flip cover/s-view functionality without using garbage 3rd party apps to halfway do this.
Anyway....I tried to flash the stock ROM using Odin but it just made me stuck at a boot loop where it would play the Samsung animation about half way, freeze then restart and do this over and over again..
I installed TWRP and did a full wipe of everything, and now tried to install stock firmware using Odin again, and it writes everything to the phone in download mode then gets to the point where the device resets but then when it turns back on it just sits at the boot screen saying "recovery booting...." and locks up from there. If I even plug the phone in to charge it will freeze on the battery with the lightning bolt image and not proceed to the charging animation as it normally would and I need to pop the battery out to hard reset it out of this..
When I try to flash the stock firmware (G900W8VLU1COI4_G900W8OYA1COI4_G900W8VLU1COI4_HOME.tar) Odin says this:

Please help....I don't know what I am missing. Is there a step I have missed somewhere along the way? Everything I read simply tells me to install the stock firmware using Odin to fix this, but that is actually what caused this issue in the first place and I cannot find any other info anywhere.
EDIT: I just reinstalled CM13 and it is working fine....what have I done to make it so that my phone cannot run the stock firmware anymore???
You should try to flash the KitKat image for your version. I am trying to find it right now, but that should work. I ended up having to do that when I went back to stock.

Hey guys,
I've been having some issues with an international rom on my W8 and i decided to go back to stock with odin. As i was flashing i realized that everytime i would reboot, even after a factory reset, or data/system/cache wipe, all my file and folders were not erased. So i booted into TWRP and wiped internal SD and all the other stuff, then flashed back stock rom with odin and now i keep getting this error:

Basically i start flash process and about 30 seconds in i hear the phone disconnect and i get the fail. I know it's not a bad firmware download as i've lready flahsed it 5 times today, i know it's not cable, or USB port because until i wiped internal SD i did not have any issues. Now, i can still access download mode, but i cannot access recovery because it tells me "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again." When i connect it to kies, it simply says phone not supported and doesnt show up under emergency recovery.
Anybody know how to get me out of this mess??
weird, my note 4 cable was causing the issue. I took my old S2 cable and it worked. Thanks anyways

I'll try to help, not that good myself though. What happens when you try to go into recovery?
I'm having the same problem. Only this phone was dropped by my friend on its top left corner and hasn't booted since then.
I successfully flashed the stock NAE tar through Odin last night but it still won't boot. I also cannot boot into recovery. It simply vibrates but nothing shows up on the screen at all. I can only boot into download mode intermittently.
Can't figure out why it would flash but not boot.
TL;DR: My phone is in a bootloop. Attempts to flash back to stock or perform a factory reset haven't worked.
Originally posted on Reddit at r/AndroidQuestions and r/TechSupport. Please forgive me if this is an oft-discussed topic, but I've yet to find anything that's helped me.
A little background: I rooted my Samsung Galaxy s5 (Verizon) in August, 2014. No third-party ROM was installed; just root with Nova Pro, Gravitybox, and Xposed. I had no issues until about 2 months ago when my phone stopped rotating. It'd start rotating again after removing the battery, but eventually that stopped working, too, even in safe mode. I assumed I installed something weird, so I did a factory reset. That didn't fix the problem, though, so I intended to flash the stock ROM for a total reset. Earlier this week, my phone wouldn't connect to wifi. I powered off, removed the battery, and powered back on. And lo, le loop.
Solutions I've attempted:
1) Removing my microSD card. Didn't work.
2) Cache wipe. When I hold the power, home, and volume up buttons, I arrive at this screen. I'm not sure if I can get to the menu shown in the video. Factory reset and safe mode don't work, either. I'm guessing this is because I didn't set up a custom recovery? I'm honestly not familiar with CWM and TWRP.
3) Flash to stock ROM. I did exactly as this guide instructed. I put the ROM on the SD card, then flashed the firmware and kernel. Odin said it was successful and outputted this message (apologies for the wall of text):

4) Flash to factory ROM. I downloaded the files for my phone mentioned in this tutorial, but they were in this format, so I'm not sure how to run this in Odin (which is looking for .tar, .md5, etc.).
IN CONCLUSION...
Thoughts? Opinions? Questions?
Did I make any mistakes when attempting the solutions above?
If you are collectively baffled, what are my options? My warranty is voided by my root, is it not? Is there an online service that repairs soft bricks for a nominal fee?
Thank you for your time.
Ok so i was running unofficial cyanogen mod 13 alpha on my s4 9515, and after a while apps started randomly crashing and there were some other problems, so I decided to go back to stock touchwiz rom. I wiped cache and dalvik cache, put the .tar file into PDA in Odin, and Odin sad FAILED, missing pit partition, and after this I can't turn on my phone or go to recovery mode, it just says "there was a problem upgrading your firmware, connect your phone to Kies", which I also did but no luck. I can still go into download mode though...
So can anybody provide me with such .pit file? Or is there something else that I could do? Any help would be greatly appreciated

In 99% of the cases you won't need the pit file. You just need to use a different usb port / different usb cable.

Can you flash a custom recovery? If so try that, perform a full wipe and flash the custom rom again.

No I can't unfortunately, also tried that already, fails in Odin like everything else...
The closest thing to success was flashing the pit file in the link that you gave me with a kitkat stock rom, it gets almost to the end and then fails

You tried all the usb ports in your pc when flashing with .pit and this rom? The Odin log shows nothing strange so my guess would still be usb cable or usb port.
Model: SM-N910W8
So my device is bricked and I can enter Download Mode, but I can't enter Recovery Mode.
When I try to flash stock ROM, it fails and says there is no PIT partition.
So I get the PIT file for my device, and I try to flash stock ROM with the PIT and ODIN gets to system write, but then proceeds to fail there.
I've tried flashing 4.4.4 and 6.0.1.
I've also tried doing NAND erase and EFS clear.
I actually have a TWRP backup on my computer, so I tried flashing TWRP recovery onto my phone, however that also fails.
I am using the original Samsung USB cable.
Please help, I can't afford to toss this phone away...
