Ok , step by step of what I did and where Im at now .
I got the Note 4 today . Played with stock firmware for a moment ( last running firmware was Anj7 baseband stock unrooted ) . Booted into download mode rooted with ch-root and checked nand erase all in Odin . I believe it erased the stock rom . Binary was changed to custom confirmed in download mode screen .
Then Flashed TWRP .
boot into TWRP when I try to wipe it says
cant mount /data cant mount anything basically and wipe fails because nothing will mount.
I try to install FireKat v5 rom and it says successful despite TWRP wont mount anything( is v5 anj? . Do I need to flash stock rooted before I can flash any other rom ? )
Reboot after install and it goes into a boot loop after boot screen transitions into boot animation .
So at this point I have no bootable rom . It doesnt appear anything will mount in TWRP for some reason .
And Im considering flashing sammo official ANJ rom to atleast get a working phone but I dont know what changes the bootloader version be it ch root or flashing a rom . And right now Im scared if the bootloader has changed and I try to revert to an older bootloader with the sammo official anj rom it could hard brick .
Im gonna need some serious advanced help here. I never done nothing like this mess before

Let me try my noob expertise out lol...from what I know the only way to hardbrick is by using the wrong modem on your variant. So I think you have nothing to worry about. What you have is soft brick.
Download from sam mobile nj7 or nk4 firmware and reflash via odin. Hope this helps.

Ok im downloading nj7 right now . I think the problem I did was erasing nand when I did first root and it caused no partitions to be set.
What part of the root process was not clear. If you look online u will find step by step rooting video. Go back to stock and try again thru odin
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Just flash stock rom with Odin and start over. Don't do the crazy erasing step next time. These phones are hard to brick. I've honestly never seen one I couldn't fix.
Yes, in Odin you shouldn't be clicking anything other then the pda box to put the proper tar in. Which of you download the cf auto root zip. Then make a new folder on your desktop. Open the downloaded cf auto root zip. Then highlight and drag n drop all files/contents of your Cf auto root zip into the newly created folder on your desktop. From the newly loaded folder right click on Odin run as administrator. Once in there put your phone into download mode and hook it up via USB to your pc a blue box with the word Com and a number will pop up in the upper left. The number doesn't matter as long as it says Com and a number, this is odin's way of showing it recognizes your device. . Hit the pda tab it'll bring you to that folder with only one file showing. Double check it's named Tmo to insure you downloaded the correct one. Select it. Odin will automatically fill in the proper boxes.
Hit run and it should knock it out fairly quick.

My Galaxy Ace is stuck in a reboot loop after trying to flash 2.3.6 onto it, when it had 2.3.5 on it previously.
I've used ODIN and no matter what firmware I try to flash onto it, it just goes into a reboot loop.
Any idea how to fix it?

press down home button and then power on phone ...--> you will enter into recovery mode .
select wipe with help of volume keys and there you go out of bootloop
My Galaxy Ace is also in some sorta reboot loop.
Everything was working fine with it (phone is rooted and CWM installed) until I did a phone reset because I was giving the phone to my gf. After doing this the phone reboots, the blue samsung logo plays (without sound) and then repeats ad-infinitum. I can get into recovery mode and download mode ok and I've tried wipe and even restored a CWM backup (it says it was successful) but the phone just keeps rebooting. I can see the phone in odin but I've never tried to flash anything onto it and quite frankly I'm unsure whether it would just make things worse (if it needs to go back to Samsung for repair). Any help would be appreciated...
If you have cwm ..why dont you download some custom rom like cm7and flash it ..that would bring your phone back to life ...then you can downgrade to stock rom if you want ...and btw in cwm try cache partition , clear data /factory reset and clear dalvik cache ..see if it boots after you do this ..

when i always flash by odin or by cwm i always do wipe , wipe cache and wipe dalvik, this helps me everytime
I managed to flash a firmware from samfirmware and it fixed the reboot.
Now my issue is when I connect to Kies, it says there's an updated firmware for the phone but it fails every attempt to install it. I went back to samfirmware and found this firmware: S5830ZSKPD ## but when I download and extract it there's only 1 x MD5 file and 1 x DLL file?! The other firmware had the 4 or 5 files needed to include in Odin... any ideas guys?
I think its a "one package file " ..I forgot the correct name but there is some option like that in odin ..dont worry it contains all the required files ..and if you are scared to do it then go to you tube ..there are many tutorials showing it then...

Yep, that's exactly what it was, thanks again.
Unfortunately with this firmware, Kies doesn't recognise it and provides no info.
I flashed back to the older firmware... I'll just have to keep experimenting I guess.

U can try a custom ROM from the Developer's forums here.
I also once stucked in the Reboot Loop..............
But then I installed a custom or if you want features from a official Rom, you can install Stock Based custom ROm from the Developer forums of Galaxy Ace. Really good Rom have been made by the developers

tryed to use simlock remover, no message, turned off the Galaxy Ace but after rebooting, a continuous loop boot, no acces to recovery, flashing on wath ever firmware version with odin success but on rebooting the loop is back, help please.
PS : while flasing with odin : "big partition size!!"
ok So any help will be greatly appreciated.
THis is what the issue is:- I am able to access download mode and via ODIN i can patch any firmware on to my phone but after ODIN is successful the phone Start with the SAMSUNG boot loader Splash screen before the kernel loads up and stays there. it doesn't go head . hence i do not have recovery mode. i have tried patching with stock firmware with PIT 512 . This didnt make any difference. I have tried DarkyROM 10.2 Resurrection and that hasnt helped either. I cannot for the life of me get the freaking phone to start up with a boot loop . Once i have a boot loop i can move forward and patch the kernel and get recovery mode . so is there any one out there who can help me with this issue. I have a USB jtag cable so getting into DOwnload mode is not an issue even if i lose 3 button combo .But i cannot get the phone to boot up with any firmware .
thank u in advance . I have a Samsung Galaxy s I9000

Did you try flashing different ROMS, kernels or custom recovery? Since you can get into Download mode you could flash custom recovery and do factory reset from there.

well if u come from ICS ...then u need to re partition ,when going back to stock!! very important
search threads for : Going back to GB from ICS i9000, this should help u gl
The easiest thing I have always done then that happens is to flash a kernel for that version that comes alone (like semaphore kernel) with Odin/Heimdall. It will come with its own recovery, so you have a starting point
Flash stock firmware and then do a factory reset from stock recovery since odin doesnt format back to rfs for you on /cache and /data i believe. Fixed it for me.

Your problem seems to be partition related. What I do is use ODIN to flash Mily's Rom 1.2 - this one repartitions your phone (must have it checked in ODIN). Phone takes about 15 minutes to go through repartition and startup process.
After that flash any newer GB from recovery menu ...

Maybe the downloaded file is corrupted..Try flashing another baseband FW and check it.
For flashing kernels theres a SAFE AND FREE app

Install this app and open it
Select the md5 or bin files from it and flash them and restart.
There you go...its done
I dont know about downgrading to GB..never tried and not gonna try it
MY JB is awesome:highfive:

You can't enter recovery after flashing original fw via odin? Try taking out battery, put it back in and force recovery. Press it for a long time till it enter recovery. Then factory reset. I encountered this once on galaxy ace, endless bootloop and can't enter recovery but download is okay. Then I pressed the buttton until it somehow got into recovery. I don't know if this works but you can try though.

We do not have any JB custom kernel that is flahsable with Odin. So I suppose you flashed GB custom kernel on JB, that is your problem. Flash whole STOCK JB FW again. After that use ONLY JB kernels. CoCore 6.x for example. Only one not abandoned from updates for now.
Do this again with JB, step by step: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086965
And kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140597
Unzip it, put it on SD card, install Frapeti's universal kernel flasher. Install some ROOT explorer, this app needs it to work. Use it to install kernel.

Hi everybody
Im new here and to flahing new Roms and stuff.
i believe my phone is bricked and im struggling to get it opperational. Here is what happened...
I have a GT-N7000 on 4. 1. 2 Jelly Bean, which i rooted and flashed to custom ROM CynoganenMod 12 on 5. 0 Lollipop. All was going fine, i rooted my phone, installation went accordingly. After a week or so whithout any problems, my phone started to freez, slag and hang which it never did before, so i decided to flash it back on 4. 1. 2 Jelly Bean I did all as is step by step on Odin 3.-v1.8. When my booted, it booted into System Recovery...
reboot system now (I did)
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage (I did)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partion
apply update from cache
-----------------------------------------------
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Applying Multi-CSC. . .
E : All failed to mount and open in red ( Invalid argument )
Nothing seems to work, so when i pull out the battery but it back and press "Volume down, Menu and Power button it takes me to the screen with the Warning and yellow triangle where i can install a custom ROM...
Volume up : Continue
Volume down : Cancel ( restart ) (I did)
When i Volume up it takes me to...
ODIN MODE
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD : NO
CURRANT BINARY : SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
My problem is i have no clue what my PDA nor my CSC code is. Im from South Africa and not sure either which of these are correct.... XFV, XFC, XFM, XFA (im not network locked) so i dont know which firmware to flash with Odin to make my phone opperational again? Any help please guys.

I have tried Phillz and did as you suggested. Im confident that i dont have the correct firmware. I downloaded this from Sammobile : N7000XXLSZ_N7000OJVLSB_N7000LSO_HOME.tar.md5.
Not sure how to go about this....
Doesn't matter what firmware you had.. Once you do a factory reset you can flash any rom made for the n7000
Were you able to get into Philz cwm recovery after you flashed the kernel?
Hi there.
I am happy to report that my phone is back to its original state. Phew, that wat too close for comfort.
I figured that it was obivously bricked or something close to it.
The problem was that i repartitioned it with the wrong PIT file and wrong kernel. Why i did that, i dont know? So i found firmware i thought would be the correct one! In its bricked state i copied the file superuser to my external, so can unzipit in CWM recovery. I download a file flashprogram Samsung N7000 +Pit. I then unzipped it and found the .Pit file which i flashed onOdin3 v1.85 at the same time with the firmware, have it repartitioned, and install the firmware.
It passed with success. Go Green!!! )
It booted to Philz recovery and installed the zip file superuser, took your advice then rebooted.
My phone switched on but a page came up where i had to give a password decrypting the device storage. Freaked out repeated the same prosesswith Odin and it started up normaly and suprised to see it restored to its original state* *smile*
*Just be carefull not to go flash the wrong stuff on your phone if your not sure what you are doing ( like i did! )*
I took your advice to heart and want to thank you for your expertieze. I learned alot from my phone the past 3days.
Regards.Johan
So i went to flash [ROM] Looper_XB but i made a mistake and flashed 5.0.2 when i needed to flash 5.1.1..Now i have made mistakes in past and would usually flash stock firmware in odin to my phone but this time it is not working. i downloaded stock firmware from here > LINKTOSTOCK. I get a error in Odin. i can go into download mode and into TWRP. I dont know what my next step is.. yes i know how to use a search bar.....i thought maybe i could flash the correct 5.1.1 Looper rom onto my phone through TWRP but i cant get my phone mounted to laptop to where it will let me transfer any files that way.. i can view all files but once i go to transfer the file over the phone will basically disconnect...In need of some help here guys.
Also was searching around and saw something about using kies , which i downloaded and installed but my phone wont connect. I only get the samsung galaxy screen and TWRP and Download mode like i mentioned

As a last resort you can always download either Samsung Kies or Samsung Smart Switch software and restore your device with the original firmware. You will need your model and serial number. You can get your s/n by booting into download mode and then pressing the home button.
Sometimes Kies will not work on the first couple of tries but it eventually should. If it still doesn't then try Smart Switch.
Once you have restored your device you can start from scratch.
