Good to start saying that my current problem is a "BootLoop" caused after installing a Stock ROM.
The phone can do the following:
- Turn on in "Recovery Mode"
- Turn on in "Download Mode"
- Turn on and stay in the "Samsung" logo (the one that follows the model of the phone, first appears Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 then this appears and is repeated many times)
It all started in the following way I wanted to download a Custom Rom with Android 5.1+, Due to the need to use an application that can only be used from Android 4.4.4 ... Given the circumstance I decided to install a custom rom to be able to use it, I followed each of the steps.
• Install the custom recovery using odin.
• Access the recovery mode, delete each data by doing "Wipe Data" "Wipe Factory" "Wipe Cache" "Dalvik Cache".
• Proceed to Install the Kernel (That's what the steps said) by means of the recovery.
• Restart the phone and access the recovery of the kernel (This causes BootLoop but it is normal, according to the post).
• Proceed to install the Custom Rom.zip and the Gapps.zip
• Restart the phone and use the Custom Rom!
But it happened that he was stuck in the logo of the Custom Rom. Only the logo appeared and it no longer caused anything, I left it for 10 - 20 Minutes and still did not pass the logo, I went crazy looking and no solution.
Try installing a Custom ROM, different to see if it worked and follow the same error.
I continued researching and took the option to Reinstall the Stock ROM, I am not interested in a custom devido that is the phone of my girlfriend and I was going to leave it in factory mode.
I downloaded from several sources and corroborate that they are for the model of the phone "GT-N7000", and so it was, put it in "Download" mode and proceeded to install the Stock-ROM, the first attempt the Odin showed PASS. But it stayed in a BootLoop the phone.
Try another Stock Rom from another source, and continue with the same problem.
Download the one from my country through SamMobile, and continue with the same problem.
When entering Recovery Mode it says "E: Failed to mount / efs (invalid argument)" but it does the functions correctly, after installing the Stock Rom proceeded to give it a wipe and the BootLoop still persists.
I need urgent help please.
PD: (I need accurate and serious solutions please, I do not want it to be like in other posts that only say make a Wipe Factory, download the stock of your country, do not send me things I already have, and redirect files, I already did all those things and I still can not find the fault, what I still do not try is to update the Kies.)

I've had a search but can't seem to find anything relating to this problem so to cut a long story short it's goes a bit like this;
1. Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 Stuck on boot 'Samsung' logo
2. It's not rooted on standard stock firmware (I think 2.3 ginger bread but not certain)
3. My mum has just given me the phone saying she was on the Facebook app it force closes and crashes
4. She reboots phone and is now in a constant boot loop hitting the O2 splash screen then the 'Samsung' logo which it never leaves only for it to reboot and do the same thing
5. I can put it into Android System Recovery however but have the following message at the bottom of the screen in yellow text which I don't know what it means;
--Appling Muti-CSC--
Can't access to '/syste,/csc/02u/system'.
6. Before I try a wipe data/factory reset is there anything I can do to try and fix it saving all data?
I just don't understand, she's not very good on the old tech so the phone is very basic so there is no need to worry about her messing with the phone rooting etc... so why has this happened its only 5 months - 6months old.
Any help is appreciated.
I think its a CSC error. Try to flash a new ROM via odin.
Maybe a CSC error. Here in Brazil, you need to flash the Vivo or Claro (operators) ROM first, or any other operator roms (like TIM) will not work, will bootloop. Search this.
before you flash a rom try clearing the cache partition in the recovery menu , its worked for me several times
Download stock rom for your region and flash it via odin...
Thank all for the reply I simply tried the reformat through the recovery menu first and it worked! :laugh:
Ok so I have been looking around for two days now and have not been able to find an answer to my problem. I've even searched and tried everything on these forums so please don't ask me to google or use the forums search.
I've got a Bell Canada Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M, it was working fine a few days ago and I picked it up to check my messages and it was frozen. After a few minutes I pulled the battery and went to restart the phone.
The phone will now only show the Samsung Galaxy S white logo and simply restart itself and play that logo over and over. If the phone is plugged into the wall it will show the battle charge logo briefly and than restart to the logo. It will go no further than this point.
I have tried to do a factory reset via Home + Power + Vol Up but it seems to reset itself before it will actually load into that menu. Home + Power + Vol Dn will bring me to the download screen which is stable and will not reset the phone.
This is where it gets strange, I have tried Odin and a 100% stock flash on the phone with no luck the phone just sits resetting. After a download of DarkyROM it will actually load the white Galaxy S logo along with the DarkyROM logo and simply go back to resetting.
So the phone is clearly in some state of a working order able to download and accept ROMs but just keeps restarting itself after the white initial Galaxy S logo.
Any and all help would be appreciated! I hope I have explained this problem well enough, maybe it is in need of being brought to a shop to be fixed? Just happens that the warranty expired last week, almost seems coincidental.
Thanks!
After you installed DarkyRom (or any other ROM with CWM), did you try re-entering the recovery menu? Perhaps you will now be able to enter recovery?

No, after the install of the ROM it would load up the white galaxy logo along with the DarkyROM logo and than just go back to resetting itself over and over. I could still go back to to the download but not access the reset menu.

run through My Android Solutions, link below and do the first step after that to immediately to recovery or download mode , than flash a rescue or resurrection kit from My Android collections, link below, all this done without sim card or exts SD card inserted
None of this has worked, I have tried every trick I can find on the net but I can't seem to get it to go.
As before the phone will go into download mode, will accept roms and so on as shown by the DarkyROM logo showing up and going away with the removal of it.
After every attempt I am still not able to get into recovery mode but am still able to access download mode. The phone seems to be in some state of working order but continues to reset itself only when turned on but will run stable in download mode.
ADB doesn't see the device and even if it did I think it would still just reboot once it started into recovery.
It's almost as if the phone starts and after it shows the starting Galaxy S GT I9000 it just turns itself off for some reason
Is their any way to totally reformat the phone and start 100% from scratch without getting into recovery to do factory reset?
Step by step instructions on what to do and download for Odin would be fantastic. I am still not sure 100% on what the PIT/Bootloader/PDA/Phone/CSC are or do so the files I need to put in those and a good explanation would be great!
This happens sometime. To fix, Do this.
1. Boot into download mode.
2. Flash stock ginger bread with Odin using 512 pit.
3. Now boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset.
4. Boot again into download mode.
5. Flash devil or semaphore kernel.
5a note. Your phone doesn't need to be able to boot. All we need is recovery mode.
6. Boot into the new recovery and wipe data/factory reset.
7. Format /system.
8. Flash ROM / gapps etc.
9. Boot with success.
10. Happy dance time, brings good luck.

ok, try flashing a gingerbread Ezboot loader, visit My Android collections, link below, has complete guide at download page
Well I've tried both suggestions with no luck. I am starting to think it's some sort of hardware problem which I can't understand because it is 100% stable and won't reset in download mode. It will accept ROMs and so on but instantly just starts to restart itself after the first logo is shown. No work around will let me into recovery mode and no method I have found so far will just reload how the phone boots. I guess it's time for a new phone eh chaps?

hmm, its strange..anyway, you should remove SIM Card and Ext SD card, and try to use any tool from My Android Collection, to format the Internal SD card and flash a 2e recovery to see , if you can get your recovery back or even a i9000 rescue kit would be good to go after formating your Internal SD card
Formatting you Internal SD card, will resolve any settings, data, delvik cache etc that would be the cause of your initial problem.. there are formatting tools as well a recovery tools that can be used to achieve this
Did u flash the correct stock firmware for ur I9000M? try this http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162558059/7efd7bc/I9000UGKG3_I9000BMCKG3_VMC.zip.html.
Source : http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9000M&pcode=0&os=1&type=1#firmware
Ok progress is being made, first I used Odin to load I9000UGKG3-I9000BMCKG3_VMC in the PDA slot without doing a reboot. Then I loaded JPK_Root_Recovery_2e using just the i9000_Kernel and was able to boot recovery.
After doing a Wipe Cache and then Factory reset the phone went back to a boot loop and I was unable to get back to the recovery menu.
After repeating the first steps I am once again in the recovery mode with no boot loot but am unsure as to where to go from here.
Currently the screen reads
Android system recovery <2e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
-------------------------------------------------
E: Invalid command argument

*EDIT* Seems once you restart from the recovery mode it goes right back to a boot loop, was not able to apply the SD card update either. So getting to recovery is currently a one time deal without having to go back and reload VMC and 2e. Once restarted all is lost.
You will need to flash another firmware with 3 file method @odin. Search on this forum a firmware and flash it!
Don't worry, u can't brick your phone that easily. I flashed my phone 10times in a day, for boot loops, when i tried to upgrade to 4.0.4

Ok so this time I used Odin to do VMC in the PDA slot, then I9000 Kernel went back to VMC and loaded that then when I restarted the phone it went back to the same boot loop.
I have no way to clear the internal SD or anything like that because the programs will not see my phone connected to my PC.
What could be causing my phone to just continue to restart?

I gave u a source, download the guide on flashing through odin. It should work. Dun flash 1 file by 1 file.
EDIT : u can find more firmwares here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881&page=1
Pm me if you need any help!
Ok so here is where I am at..
I have tried everything everyone has listed so far. The only think that has made any sort of progress at the moment is going into download mode, connecting to the USB after loading Odin. Using JPK_Root_Recovery_2e I9000_Kernel.tar will bring me to the recovery screen.
wipe cache partition + reboot = boot loop
wipe cache partition + wipe data/factory reset + restart = boot loop
wipe data/factory reset + restart = boot loop
Any of the above mentioned plus loading stock firmware results in a boot loop.
Any of the above mentioned plus loading DarkyROM Resurrection 10.2 will again show the Galaxy S I9000 Logo plus the DarkyROM logo and proceed to boot loop.
Clear cache and factory reset than load of i9000XXJVT pit/pda/modem/csc results in boot loop.
If I am missing something please explain in detail and not shunt me off to some other page.
As before I have tried everything mentioned with no luck at getting past this boot loop. Clearly the phone is able to accept roms and so on so the internel SD seems to be ok but the boot sequence seems scrambled. Strange that it will boot to download and boot to recovery with JPK but upon restart it just boot loops and without Odin and JPK I can only get back to download mode.
Seems to me you also have some partition woes. Try to find an older rom (Milky's worked for me) that requires re-partitioning to be done. Flash via ODIN, wait for 10-15 mins for whole process to complete. CWM flash any rom from there ... (Darky's Extreme also repartitions)
Hello. After i read/followed more than one tutorial on this matter, i rooted my milestone 1 and tried to install a custom rom to it. From the several attempts that i made, only miui installation was successful, even if after installation the recovery yellow triangle appeared, and had to make another "wipe data" and wipe cache", after which the phone started as normal. The problem is that i immediately figured that i don`t like miui, so, after following the same procedure, i tried over and over again to install cronos or cm7.2 kang, again with wiping data/cache, then wiping the last 3 options in the following menu. Everything seems to work fine, until i reboot the phone, and either enters recovery mode again, either stays with the motorola logo- i waited for about 7 minutes, but nothing happened. Can anyone tell me what am i doing wrong, because i did this over and over again.
I have a video with the whole process, but i can`t post any links here(it appears on my edydear21 account on flickr)
Any sugestions will be appreciated !
post scriptum: i eventually managed to get HO!NO! ics edition rom in the same way i did with the miui. Since i`m fed up with process of changing roms, i`l just settle fo the one i managed to get going.
Try out THIS guide. This one tells you what you need to do and how to do it.
This is my first post and I'm in need of some help that I can't seem to find anywhere when searching the internet. I'm not a developer nor am I close lol I just have tons of fun learning the development process - it's seriously one of my favorite things to do. Anyways I've messed up royally with my Galaxy Note 5 N910P and I'm stumped on what I should do next! So here's the issue: My Note 5 will not stop boot looping!!! I've flashed stock, almost every version that I'm able to and nothing has worked. The last thing I remember doing before it started this b.s is rooting with CF Auto root. I've always used twrp then flashed Supersu and the dm verity and never had issue! But after flashing the CF Auto root I kept getting kernel is not seandroid enforcing and then the dreadful boot loop issue that has been going on for three days now! Is there something i'm missing? or not doing right? Please message me and let me know, and if this is the wrong place to post about this, I dont mind if my post is taken down just at least help with my question some how! Thank you, XDA is my favorite place - you guys are awesome, I don't trust any other source!!!

First of all you have entered wrong model no here note 5 model no should be SM-N920xx
1)Have you enabled Oem unlocking from developers option before flashing twrp and cf-autoroot using odin? If not then you done a mistake!!
2) Have you tried to flash latest stock firmware using odin with latest usb drivers installed on you pc and proper odin flashing guide?(Flash latest 6.0.1 for your device with latest usb drivers installed on pc and connect phone to main usb port using original usb cable) After flashing stock rom if your facing bootloop then you can try reset through stock recovery (Press volume down+power button to switch off your phone..When screen shuts off immediately press volume up+power+home key simultaneously untill you see Samsung galaxy note 5 logo, release keys..You are now in stock recovery from there choose wipe data/factory reset..After reset complete reboot your device)
3)If you can boot into twrp recovery normally then flash any custom rom suitable for your device i.e. for sm-n920p..Custom roms are pre-rooted so no need to flash cf-autoroot..Flash custom rom, if you successfully boot up the rom( It's difficult to boot custom rom though if you haven't enabled oem unlocking you will face custom binary is blocked by frp protection),then enable oem unlocking from developers option and try flashing stock rom again
4) Next option for you is download Samsung smart switch for pc, install latest usb drivers on your pc, connect your phone to pc in download mode(Press volume down+power+home button simultaneously),in smartswitch select emergency software recovery, it will ask you imei,model no and serial no which you can find either on box or back panel of your phone,smartswitch will detect latest stock firmware for your device, hit update now,give some time until update complete..Your device will be automatically reboot..If even you face bootlopp, then goto stock recovery(Press volume down+power button to switch off your phone..When screen shuts off immediately press volume up+power+home key simultaneously untill you see Samsung galaxy note 5 logo, release keys..You are now in stock recovery from there choose wipe data/factory reset..After reset complete reboot your device)
**IF SUGGESTION IN SECOND POST HELPS YOU THEN ITS DONE, AVOID NEXT SUGGESTIONS**
Are you sure you can't install cf auto root again to solve it? IF not...
I did a search and got hits for twrp for N910P. Get it loaded, get it wiped and have another shot at success. Next way to get rid of the persistent rooter gone rogue, load up a factory BL + AP. If that doesn't work download another version and try again.
I've enabled OEM unlocking, flashed latest stock AP...BL.. And so on, factory reset in both factory and TWRP. I have also tried flashing CF Auto root again to see if that would fix it also custom ROMs bootloop except for CM13 and Lineage OS- Which is weird because the ROMs are for the SM N920C model and I'm and Sprint model, So I don't understand that. Weird!! Everything recognizes me as SM N920C except when I am in download mode. Also, having no imei or any back ups make its even harder since my computer completely crashed on me because I am unable to use Samsung smart switch due to the wrong model and null imei. So I'm completely stumped with this issue. Not sure if its a corrupted partition or folders not being in the correct folder locations along with wrong permissions, I've literally stressed everything to my knowledge about this and I'm all out of what issues this could be related to
After months of deliberation I finally decided to root my Note 9. It was the first time I've ever tried rooting and it seems to have gone horribly wrong. To root the phone, I followed the guide in the video titled 'How to Root Galaxy Note 9! [EASIEST METHOD]' on youtube which has an instruction link in the description. As a new user here, the forum doesn't allow me to post links yet, so please just type the title on youtube and it'll come up as the first result.
What I did was:
- unlocking bootloader
- Flash AP file with TWRP version 3.4.0
- Wipe data
- Since I was worried about using a software from an unknown source, I then flashed the official magisk v20.4 instead of the 'N9-S9_root_for_oem_issue_devices_v3' file recommended in the video.
After doing so, the note 9 restarted and showed the error message "Verification Failed, Unable to restart your device. The Integrity verification has failed. You need to reset your device to factory default settings. This will erase all your data.". I allowed the phone to reset.
Following this, the phone restarted and showed exactly the same message of 'verification failed' and no amount of going through the rebooting process resolved the issue. I googled the issue and was advised to flash the phone with Odin by going into download mode. I then tried to go into download mode, but the phone will simply not go into it and tries to restart the normal way. I also tried to connect to my laptop to see if I can flash with odin but the phone was not recognised at all by the computer.
I then tried to reboot using the twrp key combo and this worked. I then decided to try flashing with the 'N9-S9_root_for_oem_issue_devices_v3' file in the tutorial. Yet, this led to the same issue as with the official magisk file.
Looking at some rooting tutorials, I see that some of them recommend flashing CSC, AP, BL and CP instead of just the AP in the tutorial I followed. I then thought that perhaps the issue is I need to install a ROM on the device. I therefore tried to load the lineage 17.1 ROM in the micro SD card and installed it (top left option on twrp 'install') as well as the magisk and disable_dm_verify_forceencrypt zip files.
In hindsight, this was a stupid move from me - I did so I was in full panic mode at that point and desperate for a solution.
After doing so, the phone rebooted and showed a booting animation of a single blue curved line stuck with a circle rolling from right to left on it.
I left it for a while, hoping that it meant the new ROM was booting. 30 min later it was still stuck on the animation!
I then tried to reboot the phone. Pressing power button did nothing. I then tried different combinations and eventually power + volume up + bixby allowed it to restart in TWRP mode.
As of now, the phone is still in TWRP mode. The phone is still not recognised by my laptop and will not enter download mode if I press volume down + bixby when restarting.
I am fully aware that I've screwed up the rooting process and feel awful about it. It was the first time I've ever tried rooting and I really hope it is only a 'soft brick' and that my phone can be saved. I would really appreciate if anyone here could advise what I can do to complete the root process correctly from here?
Many thanks,
Sam
Is there a "download" or "bootloader" option when you press the reboot button in TWRP? My Note9 is on stock, so I'm not 100% certain myself. However if there is, that should take you to Samsung's download screen. This way you can send yourself back to stock if you give up on rooting your device.
BTW, I do recommend following a note9 rooting guide on XDA (it's not too hard to find) over a youtube video, since YouTube videos can often be out of date or a little sketchy.
