Hi, I've found many similar/related threads and have spent a lot of time reading and re-reading, but with those attempts I haven't had success so I'm posting this before I get into a worse situation.
On the AT&T Note 3, I rooted with kingo and was following this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577273 - after which the phone only booted up to the samsung logo with the unlocked padlock icon and the word custom.
I am able to get into recover and download menu's, have followed similar threads for the 900a on various steps to try to get it back using Odin with the MI9 and MJ5 firmwares, it was at MGL when i had the first issue and then starting looking for ways to get back. When i try with MJ5 via odin, the process resets successfully, the device reboots but still just comes back to the samsung logo with the unlocked padlock icon and the word custom. in Odin the status turns green and says Pass.
After this point i am still able to get into recovery menu and download menu, but just can't get by the custom padlock screen.
I have also tried flashing to MI9 in odin but that one fails, with the sbl1 fused 2 > binary 1 message.
Any thoughts on what I should try (or what to not try) next?
Anyone had success in this scenario with either fixing it forward or trying to go back another firmware?

Hi just wanted to share how I was able to get back up and running thanks to another forum member @coreygunz23 reaching out to me.
I was able to use this firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2619941
Here was my experience :
- Flashed it,
- passed in Odin,
- phone auto rebooted came back up to the same custom unlocked logo screen then automatically showed the recovery message,
- then restarted again and came up with the animated samsung logo with sound,
- then came up to att logo and sat there for a good while
- eventually launched the getting started wizard and i've been good so far..

OK so im fairly new to the tab, but I have an SGS that ive flashed a million times over. However, I guess on the tab its slightly different. I wanted to get it so that it could work with phone calls, and so I flashed the russian ROM first. Now when I go to boot up it just gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Tab screen and nothing happens. I started looking through the forum, and I guess some tabs have the bootloader locked so that only signed roms can go through, and I didnt see that till after i flashed So is there anything I can do now to get it to work again? Anytime i try to flash odin fails at factoryfs.rfs and it goes into the exclamation mark screen.
Alright, 2nd time soft bricking, this time a different way. I think I'm done messing around - if anyone could help me get back to stock I would appreciate that.
I ended up rooting with odin, then got a status 7 error when installing this rom. After (attemping) to reboot, Samsung logo pops up, then t-mobile android logo, the blue bar loads, then nothing. Stuck.
I can still get back into CWM, I have no backups. Where can I download the stock rom? If I could get this working I would be thrilled.

Hello! I am posting this because I have searched for hours on how to fix the phone with no luck, so this is a last resort. Im using a AT&T (sadly) galaxy s5. I was going to update to lollipop but couldn't since my device was rooted. I tried to unroot it by using supersu, but pulled the battery because it was taking forever (I know I know.) The phone at first booted to safestrap and I tried to factory reset to take off the root. Now, whenever I turn on my phone, it wold be at the samsung galaxy s5 screen with the little unlocked symbol. I tried to flash the stock firmware with odin. Didnt work. Now it boots (still says unlocked) and when the samsung animation finishes, it stays on a black screen. Any help at all? Thanks!
Try flashing the kernel from the root page
Hi everyone,
I've had numerous problems with OTA updates with my AT&T SM-G900A since I got it. I'm not in the US anymore and my phone was unlocked, so I thought "hey, how hard could it be" and tried to flash it.
I used the following binaries that were posted here a couple of days ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/g900aucs4cpa2-odin-files-em-hot-t3372388
I ran them through Odin3 3.09, and got a PASS - but the phone is stuck at the boot logo screen ("Samsung Galaxy S5 Powered by Android" screen).
Download mode still works, but normal booting, recovery booting and safe mode do not.
Any suggestions on what I could do?
EDIT: I used the stock image located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714455 to reflash it using Odin again. It seems to have worked, though all sorts of apps were crashing. I've just done a factory reset and am in the process of restoring it, but it seems promising for now. Never trying to update AT&T crap again.
Hey man, are you still having troubles? I just rooted my Sm-G900A, and then decided to use Odin to flash it with the 5.1.1 files. So this is what happened to me:
1: Flashed AP with the 5.1.1 file, passed but stuck at the Samsung Logo- Powered by Android.
2: rebooted into download mode and flashed "BL" or Bootloader with the 5.1.1 file and I got passed that screen. Now I'm waiting for it to optimize my apps.
My guess is after we flash the AP file we then have to flash the bootloader as well. So if you haven't tried that I'd suggest it to see what happens.
I feel the need to make this post as I have yet to find anyone else with the exact same issue as me, however here is the details:
I am running a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 SM-N950U from AT&T
Rooted with SamFAIL one month ago without any issues.
Context:
Yesterday when I turned on my phone for no obvious reason it just got stuck into a boot loop (the one where it stays on the Samsung logo forever. Did the obvious steps with no effect.
Afterwards, I tried to follow the SamFAIL root guide from the start to end just to see if it would fix it (I was desperate). Everything went fine, however, when it booted up and whenever it does boot up it starts black then it flashes the recovery mode screen for half a second (I'd post an image, but I am not allowed to, just search up, "recovery mode note 8" and look at the images with the blue background and android mascot), displays some white text on the black screen for perhaps a second, goes black and repeats this. I am able to enter download mode and upload mode, but whenever I try booting into the actual phone this happens.
Strange problem huh? Any hope for me, or do I have a brick now? It's been looping this process for the past 20 minutes now. For now, my plan is to try flashing the stock firmware with Odin. (My internet is slow so it will likely take all day for that file to download.

Okay, that fixed that issue, however now my phone is doing the same thing again but getting stuck on the flashing Samsung logo screen. What now?
EDIT: NEVERMIND, EVERYTHING WORKS NOW. Thank you so much <3
