Unable to fix boot loop. Tried everything.

Hi,
So basically I ended up with a boot loop somehow..long story. I cannot access my recovery..only my download mode.
I've already tried the following :
- Flash stock ROMs(All - JB, ICS, GB using Odin)
After flashing, All stocks ROM's go in a boot loop of the intro animation and glowing Samsung repeating again and again.
- Tried a FULL Flash - used a PIT file with a md5 of a stock ROM. Re-partition basically. Still boot loops.
Anyone has any clue what's going on here? Tried everything and thought it through and can't figure why it won't boot even after a re-partition happened successfully.
Would appreciate any help,
Cheers
Why can't you access recovery? What happens when you press the 3 button combo? Try with and without the USB cable plugged in. You could also try flashing philz kernel from Odin and then try if you have access to recovery. Then a data wipe should get you booted.
Flash some kernel with cwm, go to cwm and wipe data. After that just flash any ROM You want and it should work.
Sent from note, a phone like never before
its will be fixed with flashing the right rom..
im facing that kind of trouble too last night.. but succesfully fixed it with flashing with jellybean firmware..

[HELP] i8190XX softbrick after flash recovery with flashify...

Hi guys... I gonna try to resume this simple.. in a hurry way i rooted the device using iroot app, just because was 4.1.2 and in the first try the odin method dint work for put in the recovery image.. so i try for the first time in samsung device flash the recovery using flashify app.. I installed TWRP twrp2.8_golden... and it flashed ok, then I restart directly to recovery (adb reboot recovery) and TWRP was there like normal. I flash cm11 and it flash ok.. but after I restarted the phone.. I get a bootloop but not a common bootloop restarting and so... this one is different (for me) samsung texts appears after that the screen goes black and the keys lights blink 3 times and the phone shutdown and the same at entering to recovery.. that's the story
now what I already done..
flash almost six firmwares, normal HOME/PDA and PDA, CSC for repair and including the first one 4.1.1 with userdata.img inside..
flash WIPE_I8190, PARAM, I8190-3-button-combo, I8190_stock-recovery, KERNEL-GT-I8190-, and more than seven types of custom recovery..
everything flashes OK, I can access to download mode, but not to recovery, when i enter to recovery the key light blink again and the screen goes black.. so I cant boot or enter to recovery, I already flashed all files in different ways like stock recovery with cm11.tar, twrp with repair firmware, stock repair firmware alone etc...
the only thing always fail is using the -pit for repartition.. just said "set pit file.." then FAIL..
what I'm thinking about this is some inflating recovery Kernel2 partition because i used flashify and I think flashify is using dd? don't know... the curious part is that twrp worked the first time.. and also repairing firmware flash OK...
well.. hope someone give me some advise.. I'm really now with no more free MB in my memory ram for think about more options

cant flash anything using odin

the galaxy tab 8.9 is quite aged so i thought that i could pump some newer juice in it. bad luck, it got bricked. stuck at the samsung logo, bootlooping over n over
it started when i tried to install twrp, my current recovery is cwm. currently, i can only boot into download mode. so, i tried flashing back cwm, twrp and even stock recovery but all of it failed. i also tried flashing another stock rom but it also failed. odin didnt even tried, it stucked at "SetupConnection"
can anyone hand out a helping hand?
when i tried to reboot it back now, it asks me to "select recovery from kies" something like that about an error.

I have a similar problem. I am waiting for tablet to die (battery dead) then plug into wall charger and it should bring up download mode.
Do you have the LTE model?

Going to necro this because I've had the same problem as the OP (but not 2nd message).
I had CWM 5, tried to flash TWRP (so I could get Nougat), ended up with no recovery bootable. Can anyone help me get back with a recovery?
Tried to flash TWRP 3 but stuck at "failed". The tab was stuck in like 2% status, and wouldn't respond to Odin commands to flash again, so I had to reboot it.
Then there was no recovery I could boot into (icon would just flash when I tried to enter recovery from bootloader menu).
If I don't try to boot into bootloader menu, it sometimes would show the message "Software update failed", but would still accept Odin flashing.
I tried flashing via odin TWRP 2.6, 2.7, 3.0, CWM 5.5, Stock recovery and all did not work. TWRP <=2.7 and CWM would flash OK but still could not enter it, icon would just flash the icon but not change screen.
It doesn't display "Software update failed" screen anymore, but when I try to boot it normally with power button, it will always go into bootloader mode. If I restart with power + vol -, it would go into bootloader menu for you to choose between recovery and bootloader mode.
What should I do next to get a recovery back?
I haven't tried from Odin flashing a full stock image since I can't find a working download link anymore since hotfiles and devhost are down. Does anyone have a .tar or .tar.md5 for Odin flashing they could link me?
Never mind. I managed to find a stock image flashable by odin, flashed that and recovered stock recovery (and a stock ROM). I used the stock recovery to flash TWRP and then used TWRP to flash a new ROM, and all seems to be well now!

It is not possible with Stock recovery to flash the TWRP Recovery.
I think your Stock image has an CWM Recovery ( its a modified Stock Recovery ) and it is possible to flash TWRP.

Hi, that's great news! Would you be able to share where you got the ROM from and what version of Odin you used (and where you got it) please?
I am stuck on the boot screen with my GT-P7300. The stock images I have found so far don't flash through Odin and also fail in the recovery.
Many thanks in advance

Can't flash recovery on my S3

Hello, just bought an used i8190. Since last friday i have been trying to flash a custom recovery on this phone via Odin, but after i flash it returns to the default recovery on next boot.
Yes, i have unchecked the "Auto-reboot" option on Odin. I turn off the phone and then manually enter recovery but with no results. I rooted the phone pretty easily and installed both TWRP and CWM apps to flash from android, but they don't work either (twrp crashes always and CWM just gives me an error.
Mi baseband model is XXAll2
kernel is 3.0.31 [email protected] (root name seems weird)
I searched the forum and found similar cases with the baseband, but even so i haven't found a concrete solution.
I even flashed a new pre-rooted rom from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030282
Mi compilation number has changed to XXAMG1 but the baseband remains the same. I can't flash a recovery whatever i try.
I hope someone can give me an answer, cause i really want to use this phone feautures to it's fullest
Update:
Somehow, i managed to flash CWM via it's app successfully. However, when i tried to flash the TWRP via zip all i got was a blank screen and the phone booted directly to Android. I had to reflash the cwm with the app. However, i tried flashing via odin the Lineage os 14 from novafusion and i got a bootloop, reflashed the old stock firmware and now my device works but the recovery doesn't, and can't even flash this time via the app.
I tried flashing via ODIN stock recovery and other recoverys and i still get the same result. I have downloaded some stock roms, but im afraid to flash them in case i end up in a bootloop and unable to access recovery still
Any clues?

Flash the stock rom as it will fix bootloops and bricked devices. Make sure to have the right ROM and flash it with Odin. The os may take longer on first boot and make sure to factory reset it as data may cause bootloops, then try flashing the recovery.
I flashed twrp 3.1.1 through Odin
