Galaxy Gear stuck in Downloading... loop. - Samsung Galaxy Gear

So, I bought a used Galaxy Gear the other day, and while reading up on it, I realized that it was never updated to the Tizen update. Kies didn't want to update it, so I looked into flashing it myself. I rooted the device, and everything seemed fine. Once I attempted to go into the new recovery mode, though, it would just reboot the device into the normal Android interface. I tried again to flash the proper ROM using Odin3, but now the device seems to be stuck on the Downloading... screen. When I attempt to restart the device by holding the power button, it turns off for a second, shows a grainy image of the Downloading screen, then goes back into the full Downloading screen.
Anything I can do about this, or is the device broken?

Samsung logo boot loop, totally stuck

Hey guys, my phone got totally stuck on a Samsung logo (neverending loop).
Yesterday I let my bro play an Angry Birds on my phone. After a while I took my phone back and to my surprise it wasn't responding. Mobile was turned on (connected to the charger) but all I could see was a black screen. I tried restarting my phone by removing battery but it didn't help at all. I got stuck at Cyanogen Mod logo everytime. Since I haven't updated my firmware in a while I decided to intstall the newest version of CM (KitKat 4.4.4 from novafusion.pl) using Odin app. After a successful installation my phone still didn't boot up, I was getting stuck on a blue CM logo. After this I wanted to wipe my cache/dalvik cache but I wasn't able to get into recovery mode (getting stuck on a TeamWin screen). Reinstalling TWRP and installing ClockWork recovery didn't have any effect. I wiped my phone using .tar file found on this forums, tried reinstalling my ROM recovery many times, tried installing param file (don't even know what's that) and resetting three button combination using Benzonat0r's mod. None of these things seemed to have any impact. I'm still not able to get into recovery neither boot my phone up - Samsung logo bootloop. What am I supposed to do to unbrick my phone?
On a side note my knowledge about Android phones is tiny so please consider this. Also forgive me my poor grammar, not a native English speaker here.

Download This rom "I8190 серв. укр.rar" from here
Unpack .rar and open Odin.
Select the goldenxx.pit to [PIT]
Select CODE_I8190XXAMA2_809600_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md 5 to [PDA]
Select CSC_QXE_I8190QXEAMA1_20130109.163004_REV00_user_lo w_ship.tar.md5 to [CSC]
Put your phone in download-mode and connect it to computer.
Hit [Start] when device is detected by Odin.
You will end up with a "La'Fleur" branded phone, but no worries!
Just go to download mode again and flash a custom recovery and after that a ROM of your choice.
The three button combo will still work!!
This is not my work, give my friend @tyson a thanks for that!
I tried installing stock recovery and ROM. After completed installation I finally managed to pass Samsung screen. I got to the something like Android installation screen and my phone suddenly shut down. Now it's totally bricked, I can't turn it on nor get into the download mode. Charging progress doesn't show up while phone is plugged in neither. Any help?

Hey dude, I wish I saw your reply earlier. If my phone wasn't bricked now I'd give it a shot.

ATT G900A - used OTA, attempted downgrading to 4.4.2, stuck on samsung logo

I recently got a new ATT galaxy s5 (G900A). Upon setting it up, I used OTA to take it from stock to the latest version which was 5.1.1 I believe.
I then failed to do thorough research and attempted to downgrade it to 4.4.2 which started causing problems.
I retracted my actions in chronological order to help in troubleshooting this situation:
Upgraded via OTA to 5.1.1
used odin 3.10.7 in AP mode with file "AP_G900AUCU1ANCE_964333_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5"
Odin reported a failure after a few moments of me pressing the "start" button. for the above AP file. On the phone's screen (whilst in download mode) , it showed the progress bar as not being completed and also not progressing after Odin Failed. I had to pull battery to restart the phone.
restarted phone and it threw a splash screen saying to use kies recovery due to a firmware error.
entered download mode, used odin in AP mode to flash "G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions.tar.md5"
phone rebooted and hung on Samsung Galaxy S5 logo
entered recovery mode (vol up, home, power) to reset the cache, still hung up on samsung logo
entered recovery mode again to do factory reset/wipe, still hung on samsung logo
pulled battery, used odin in AP mode to flash file "G900A_OC4_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5"
phone rebooted and hung on Samsung Galaxy S5 logo
I did quite a bit of searching around and have employed a few attempts at fixing the issue as listed above. I am still hanging on the Samsung logo though.
Could anyone offer me some insight on how to go about resolving this situation?
Thanks for your time!

Totally ran into exactly the same issue...I am trying to sort out the details of it today and will post up what I find...I believe the answer lies somewhere in getting back to stock OF3 firmware + OF3 kernel without root via ODIN .tar file but we shall see. Also ..I am currently running ODIN v3.09
Get the phone up and running
Ok this is what I did to get my phone back up and running,
What happened was I did what it said on the downgrade thread here on xda, it didn't work. But of course it left my phone stuck on download mode.
I used a program from z3x to download the pit file, that usually takes it out of download mode. Then I booted into recovery, I had the 4.2 recovery on a 5.0 rom.
So I was stuck un bootloop, but there is a way to get it out.
downloaded the update and sent it with adb sideload.
so in other words
things you need
1. easy adb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118
2. update file for S5, from my google drive http://*******/1TjDwb
Steps I took
1. go to recovery mode by booting with volume up + home + power
2. select apply update from adb
3. install easy adb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118
4. go into any command shell ( cmd or windows powershell) and send the file by adb
in my case it was "adb sideload 2400258.cfg"
5. wait for the phone to apply the update and restart.
I have a long browsing history (about 7 devices and various browsers), I don't really have time to look up the thread I got the update from.

Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 not booting only turning on camera Flash

I tried to do stock rom (P1000XWJQB8_P1000DBTJQ1_DBT) with pit (gt-p1000_mr.pit) with ODIN. During the flashing process it stuck somewhere on (hidden) and after some time it shows fail. But device is stuck on downloading screen and shows half process bar and I wait for hour and so but device is still stuck on the same. So, I decided to turn off and start the device again and I did. But after turning off when i tried to start device again it wont start I mean there is no screen booting happening just back camera flash every time i tried to power on the device or tried to charge it or connect it to USB. Even ODIN or Hemidell is not detecting it anymore.
Please help me.......

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T810 Stuck In Odin

I'm hoping someone on here will be able to help me with my Tab S2. I bought it around 2 years ago and immediately flashed with a Cyanogen custom rom.. The tablet has always worked fine until yesterday, a notification appeared that the SuperSU needed and update so i pressed ok. The tablet restarted and is now either stuck on the Samsung logo screen or in Odin mode ready to download.
Other than now losing the tablet and claiming on my contents insurance, i'm really not sure what to do. I've been searching for answers but haven't gotten very far at all Please can anyone give me advice on how to get my tablet functioning again?
Can you get to download mode and stay there? if you can, you can try re-flashing a stock rom on to it, it might fix the messed up super su config.
I had the same problem too. If i can´t go into the recovery mode, or i get bootloops i flash the original samsung firmware. If my tablet starts normally, i start again. Sometimes the only way (for me)

Galaxy note 8 (sm-950u1) stuck in boot loop

Good afternoon folks, I'm having a very big problem. Yesterday I was using my phone listening to music, I then received a text message in a group text. I went to pull down the notification center but my touch screen wasn't responding. I thought it was a one off but tried to open my phone and nothing was responding to my touch. I then did a reset (vol dnw+power) which restarted the phone but still the touch screen was unresponsive. Reset phone again now here I am in the infinite boot loop. It starts to galaxy note 8 screen and stays for about 30 sec then goes to recovery mode but will lock up and restart this process over again. I've tried to manually boot into recovery mode but it doesn't work. I'm able to boot to download mode where I've tried flashing with stock firmware but after flashing is restart back to the boot loop. Note 8 hasn't been flashed with anything custom before so this thing is a big mystery for me. Any help would be greatful. Thanks in advance

Make sure you flash the correct firmware for your model. What is SM-950u1 anyway?? You should also use the latest Odin 3.13.1 or higher. Odin lower than that is giving problems with Oreo firmware. Good luck. LJ

Thanks for your input, sm-n950u1 is the model number according to sam mobile site for the firmware. But found out that phone was still under manu. warranty after registering it on samsungs website. So i shipped it off yesterday so they can get to the bottom of it
