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..

Tried to flash a rom and now I've wrecked my phone!

So I flashed the Alliance Rom for my t-mo Note 4 and all I get is the boot logo.
I've gone through with Odin and the CF auto root junk, used TWRP to wipe and flash this rom.
I got TWRP on there, but I can't seem to put any files onto my phone. Like I select mount, and when I try to drag a file over, windows wont let me.
You see, I've got this error, and it says Kernel is Not SEandroid enforcing. I have looked for a fix, and people say that I need to flash a file called stocK_kernel, which I have.
I can't get this file onto the device it seems. Anyone have any ideas of what is going on?
EDIT: tried flashing another rom using odin and now all i get the t-mobile logo...
and I can't register for sammobile because I can't pass the captcha !! It's frustrating... I can't download what I think I need >_>
Any help would be awesome
I know this is a typical problem, I've been around XDA for a while, but never made an account until I decided to actually root and try to flash my device.

A ROM using ODIN? Which one? If it's Lollipop...and you are on the T-Mobile logo screen, how long did you wait? It takes ~10 minutes to boot. But, if you are on the Samsung screen, there is a problem. So, I'm currently thinking you are not waiting long enough?

Try putting your rom in the extsd or internal and flash from there.
I would grab the stock firmware and flash that using Odin. Don't forget to factory reset using stock recovery after flashing stock firmware.
Just start over.
Then root and install twrp, once your back at square one, then put your rom of choice on either of the SD locations and flash using twrp.
A bootloop after flashing a rom is usually, in my experience, a kernel issue. So it couldn't hurt to have an alternate compatible kernel to flash if you need it.

If you have TWRP all is not lost. If you flashed the stock ROM then you probably don't have TWRP anymore. Its just about impossible to wreck this phone by flashing ROMs. I would ODIN to the stock COD6 build. I believe there is a thread with all the files you need in one zip. Follow those instructions and it should get you back to stock rooted and you can go from there with flashing ROMs again.

No the rom doesn't use Odin. But I imagine the person had to root and flash a custom recovery as well. The rom of course had to be flashed in recovery.

Every ROM install boot loops

I have had several roms, over several devices, over several years. I have never had issues before.
I have Note 4 T-Mobile running 4.4.4. I rooted, installed TWRP and am trying to install cm-12.1-20150509-UNOFFICIAL-temasek-trltetmo
I tried installing a different ROM last night and the same things happen.
When I wipe Cache it removes the TWRP
I install TWRP app, then install TWRP 1.8.6 or whatever using the TWRP app
Reboot into recovery
Flash the ROM and Gapps
Wipe, wipe again just to be safe
Reboot
It goes through the CM logo to where it initializes apps, goes through them all, reboots and does it all again. 2 different ROMs did exactly the same thing. I dont know what im doing wrong. I tried installing TWRP With ADB but it hangs on "waiting for device" When I adb devices my hone shows and I have USB debug turned on. After I finally quit and pulled the battery It said no OS available so I had to DL and reflash stock image.
I am beyond frustrated now,
Any ideas? What info do you need from me?

You've got a nightmare. Head back to stock with Odin. Start fresh something with your base is off. Either wrong baseband orkernel but something off

Which rom u trying

few thoughts.
First verify the MD5 of your download of the rom. make sure it wasn't corrupt. Second. Flash just the rom only and boot, then flash gapps and boot.

I think flashing just the ROM and then gapps did the trick. Seems to be up and stable. Man Ive never had so many issues before blah.

I have not messed with CM since I had the Note 2, which was until the Note 3 came out. Was a different carrier too. Generally the rule was flash CM then boot then reboot and flash GAPPS. I haven't looked but I would assume it is still the same.
Glad it worked

Boot loop and recovery loop only able to get to download frp lock

Hello, I've got a Note 5 on sprint n920p. I've had twrp and spacex kernel for ages without any trouble. Today however, I logged into a different google account on my phone and it rebooted. Now It wont boot or go into recovery. FRP is blocking my attempts to flash twrp via odin. I am stumped is there anything I can do?

Try flashing stock rom

Thank you! It was so incredibly easy! I just needed to calm down a bit and wait for the rom.

What're the steps to flash a stock rom? I basically have the same problem but I can't even boot into TWRP recovery.

First, I had to wait several hours for a rom to download from sammobile. Then, I put my phone in download mode and used odin with the rom in the ap slot. Voila, it worked ending days of frustration. Took a bit to configure itself. Avoid wasting time dont download a deodexed rom. You'll need the rom as a single file.

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?

im afraid i dont

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
