A500FU problem after moving from cm13 to stock - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hello,
I did have CM13 installed on sm-a500fu and wanted to go back to stock rom. Downloaded right version (TWO-A500FUXXU1BOJ6-20151119145810 - 5.02. )) and flash process was without problem (ODIN) .Then i wanted twrp back and i cant do this no matter which version of twrp i use(twrp2.8.7.0-a5ultexx-19082015.tar,twrp-2.8.7.0-a5ultexx-20082015.tar). Recovery flash goes ok but cannot enter recovery.
Phone is always on Samsung logo

My suggestion is to flash again stock ROM, boot in stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset. Reboot to stock ROM normaly and after that you have to follow the steps to root and install twrp as mentioned in the other thread dedicated to it (I assumed you did that once when you flashed CM13).
In fact that's what I did on my phone...

Flash full stock and once done do a factory reset in stock recovery, do this 3 times, then flash twrp.

No ROM will boot..

Hi everyone,
So i'm having an issue with my Galaxy S4 GT-i9505. It seems that any custom ROM I try to flash it with just gets stuck at Boot. I can always restore to stock so its not that big of a deal but still I'd like to be able to use a custom ROM on it one of these days !
Here's what I did so far:
1) The phone was rooted with CF Autoroot, then flashed TWRP recovery with Odin 3.x
2)Tried to install Omega Rom v9. With Data, Cache, Delpik wipe. Stuck at Samsung logo after reboot
3) Restored back to stock
4) Repeated 2)
5)Tried to install PAC Rom, again Data, Cache wipe, Flashed Gapps before Reboot
6)Stuck at "PAC loading" logo
7)Tried 5) again without flashing Gapps. Still stuck
8)Back to stock
I'm thinking of trying to flash a Pre-Rooted Rom like some of DJeMBeY. Anyway, can someone point me in the right direction ?

i9505 doens´t boot after flashing stock firmware

Hello
I was trying to update my friend´s i9505 to the latest AntaresOne CM12 build, but forgot to flash gapps, and since i coulnd´t for some reason enter CWM (the phone just reboots), i had to flash stock firmware over again so i could start over.
But now the phone isn´t booting even on stock firmware. That usually did the trick.
The wierd thing is that Phils Touch Recovery was working before, but ever since i used Triangle Away to reset binary counter, the recovery won´t boot up anymore.
The only way that i could get into Phils Recovery was to install the TWRP recovery installer, and throught the app i would tell it to flash, and it would reboot into Phils Recovery
Now since system isn´t booting, i can´t install and use the TWRP installer to reboot into recovery mode for me.
Tried to flash stock recovery, the same thing happens: the phone just black screens, vibrates and reboots.
Any ideas of why this might be happening?
Go to stock recovery if you can and wipe data/factory reset. Install stock ROM then.
@guguts
As clearly wrote in 1st post of my thread, you need to do "format /system" before installing ROM's builds starting from 26/11 one and latest ones, including 3/12 and the ones that will come in the future.
I strongly suggest you to take a look again at installation instructions, but this time carefully.
If you need anything else, write directly in its Q&A thread (you can find it in this section) where surely you can be helped more and better

Flash a custom recovery with Odin. Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing.
Then boot into the recovery using the botton combo. Keep holding it as long as it takes to enter recovery.
Hey guys, i managed to work it out.
It was probably a loose vol up or home button, because i didn´t do anything but a few moments later i tried to enter stock recovery and it went fine.
The issue was not with the custom rom (which by the way is great, my friend says its running smooth).
The issue happened because i forgot to do i data wipe after installing the rom and prior to installing the stock rom.
So the stock ROM was trying to load using lollipop data and cache, and thats why it got stuck in the samsung logo.
As soon as i managed to enter stock recovery again, and made a data wipe, the stock room booted fine.
So i tried again, but this time didn´t forget to flash gapps, and even better, now Phils Recovery is booting up normally (go figure...)
So i formated /system and /data, flashed AntaresOne ROM and gapps, and everything went fine.
Just posting here in case anyone in the future goes througyht the same hassle.
Thank you so much for your work Antares.
Its people like you, quarx and pawtip (and many others top developers) that makes this community great.

Keep booting to stock recovery although flashed custom recovery

Hi, I'm currently running N9005XXUGBOB6 stock Lollipop, I just receivd the ota few days ago. The phone was flashed stock lollipop by Odin months ago. Now when I try to flash custom recovery, Odin shows everything is fine but when I try to boot to recovery it boots stock recovery, I tried both TWRP 2.8.5.0 and PhilZ Touch 6.48.4 but none of them work . Anyone here could help with this issue? Thanks!

Untick auto reboot. Manually turn off phone after recovery flash. Then use 3 buttons to get into recovery.
If the phone prompts to install stock recovery when you're exiting the custom recovery, choose no(can't remember whether this menu still available in note 3, maybe other phone)
Another way is download cistom flashable twrp then as rosli mentioned to uncheck auto reboot when flashing twrp then once done disconnect and boot to recovery then in recovery flash the flashable twrp

Can not boot into TWRP recovery

Ok here's the situation: I had rooted and installed TWRP and a custom rom (2 actually). I had an issue where the rom is not compatible with my fav alarm app, so I tried to revert back to a stock rom. That's where the trouble began. I unfortunately don't recall the exact steps I took, but I can not boot into recovery either by the button method or the reboot into recovery method. I can always reboot into download mode with no problem. If I go into Odin and either try to reflash the twrp recovery or flash stock recovery (tried both of these multiple times) I can get the phone to boot back to the rom I am trying to uninstall. All I am trying to do is get into TWRP recovery. Any thanks would be appreciated.

TWRP Loop

Hi,
after flashing serveral custom roms (with open bootloader) via twrp (latest version), which btw worked perfectly till now, i suddenly produced a twrp loop. I tried to flash another custom rom, reinstall twrp, but no rom boots. Only twrp appears.
Because of this i can´t also open the port to flash a stock rom via QFIL. Is it possible in my situation to remove twrp and install stock recovery? I can´t find a corresponding img file.
Thanks!
