I have a SM-G800F that's been running 4.2.2 forever. Last night I attempted to upgrade to 5.1.1 using Odin, afterwards I'm caught in a bootloop (just the Samsung logo). I tried recommended steps of wiping cache / factory reset from the recovery menu but no dice. I then attempted to flash 6.0.1 stock onto it, same problem.
Any help would be appreciated. When it was on 4.2.2 it was rooted with stock samsung fw and TWRP installed.
Just to add an update here, I flashed TWRP on it and then a LineageOS 14.1 Custom Rom with little hassle. Still not sure why the stock upgrade failed, possibly due to it being rooted already. Runs Android 7.1 beautifully so far.

I give up ;/ I cannot install any samsung rom above 4.3. When I do, my phone stucks on samsung logo and just refuse to turn on (its not a bootloop - it doesnt restart)
I have xxbmb4 bootloader, I have installed this rom and Hbo Kernel. What else can I do?
p.s. I can install any AOSP rom and it works just fine. And yes I do full wipe every time
No need to give up
I had the same problem yesterday.
My device was on 4.3 and I flashed Philz touch recovery and did a backup without a problem. But when i restored a backup and rebooted it was stuck at the Samsung logo. After trying so many things all day (wiping, cleaning caches, trying to root, reflashig recovery, .... ) following was worked.
flashed 4.4.4 STOCK-Official rom using Odin v3.07. then it booted SUCCESSFULLY.

Hello. I'm sorry but actually there's no lollipop for our device, however there is cm 11 with kitkat 4.4.4 but it isn't 100% stable. There's also cm 10.1, the android version maybe be a little old but it's more stable.
To flash this roms, you need this CWM
And for rooting, I think the easiest way is using Cydia Impactor
Boot loop..
Hi. I got a Samsung GT-S6012 that keeps rebooting the Samsung logo and doesn't start. At first I got the phone stuck on the very first logo with Samsung model name. So I did some search. Downloaded Odin and latest 4.1.2 official firmware for that phone model flashed it. Everything worked for a few days but then the battery ran out and phone shut down and when I turned it on again it got stuck on the very first logo and nothing. Then I flashed the same firmware again to get it running and when I checked it the flashing didn't really fully wiped the internal memory cause the data in it was still in tact. So I thought I need full wipe to fix the phone. So installed custom recovery, rooted it and flashed CM 10.1 on it. It was running very smooth everything seemed okay but I wanted the stock rom. So I went to recovery wiped whatever was possible and flashed the stock firmware in download mode again. And now I got stuck on the second Samsung logo and it keeps rebooting it self. I recognize that I cannot wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache in now stock recovery cause it gives me android logo within it a red flag. The wipe cache supposed to fix boot loop problem but it's not an option for me anymore. All I can do now is just enter Download mode. I'm downloading 4.0.4 firmware and gonna try to flash that one see if it works but I doubt. Can anyone suggest me a way to fix it? Please I'm really desperate.
I recently purchased a Nexus 6 running PureNexus 6.0.
I have tried to update to 6.0.1 without any success. I have downloaded the 6.0.1 update including the gapps file. I have booted into recovery mode using Teamwin. I have wiped delvik and cache and then selecting the zip files, I swipe install and reboot. The phone does not update. I am still on 6.0. Hoping that some can provide me some clear information on what i am do wrong and how to correctly update my phone.
Thank you in advance
Alex
If this pure nexus you mentioned is a custom rom, yes you can not update it with original rom update. You need custom rom update which generally rom developer prepares as a full stand alone rom, not update. But if you're talking about original factory rom, this time you need to flash all 6.0.1 rom because you have custom recovery so the update itself will not work.
But above all, which I get confused, what is this update zip you are speaking of ?
Hi dear developers,
I just got my new Galaxy Tab S2, T813. Updated it to Nougat, firmware T813XXU2BQD1_T813OXA2BQD1_DBT. I rooted it via Chainfire's autoroot and worked perfectly fine. I installed the latest TWRP (twrp-3.1.1-1-gts210vewifi), advance wiped in twrp (like tens of times before with Galaxy S5, Galaxy S7, Redmi 4, ZUK Z2, Xiaomi Mi 5s, LG G2 etc.). I flashed Lineage 14.1 (Lineage-14.1-20170516-nightly-gts210vewifi) but when I rebooted the phone Lineage setup would not start. I went back and advance wiped again and installed an older Lineage version but again the same. I advance wiped again and installed Omni (Omni-7.1.2-20170521-gts210vewifi-weekly), but here again setup would not start. I reformatted the data in twrp and reinstalled Lineage 14.1 but again the same. So I went back and flashed via Odin3_v3.12.3 the stock firmware (for Germany) T813XXU2BQD1_T813OXA2BQD1_DBT. Odin command was pass and i though everything was fine. When the original firmware rebooted i have the same problem, the setup would not start and starting apps would crash. I entered recovery (of course stock recovery because twrp has been wiped by odin), but it says "no command".
Smart Switch would not support my device although it actually should.
I tried to flash via odin also on my second PC but again the same problem. Both PCs are running Windows 10.
I never faced something like this before. And after hours of search I found nothing. Please help me solve my problem so that i can install at least one firmware (no matter which one: Stock, Lineage, Omni etc.).
When you flashed lineageOS or omni rom, did you also flash gapps?

First time flash:
+ clean advanced wipe
+ lineage
+ gapps (ARM64, Android 7.1, Pico)
+ addonSU
other times flash:
+ clean advanced wipe
+ lineage
or
+ clean advanced wipe
+ omni
I believe either flashing Chainfire Autoroot file or flashing TWRP might have caused the problem and might have deleted something or maybe i deleted something during first time wipe via twrp.
Is there a patch or aboot or something to flash via Odin prior to flashing the stock firmware to correct the problem with stock rom setup blockade?
Ok, I'm not sure what went wrong with how you did stuff but let's not use Chainfire's autoroot again. The best way to root is to do it manually.
Anyway, firstly you should be able to go back to stock samsung firmware by using Odin and flashing the full tar file. I'm not sure why that is not working for you as that's the only way to reset and fix your tablet.
Please check how to flash the full firmware via Odin again.
- ensure you downloaded the correct nougat firmware file. Latest LineageOS should require the EU version of the nougat firmware. I think it is T813XXU2BQD3. Not the firmware you used.
Once you are able to load a fresh samsung firmware, then come back again. I'll see if I can guide you through the TWRP and rooting process again.

Closed per OP request
Whichever flashing method I use (TWRP, fastboot) Whichever rom I use (I tried clean stock, pre rooted, MM, LP, backups), I can't get past the animation screen. Even restoring a backup through TWRP gets stuck at the same spot. The only ROM that works is LineageOS (based on Android 7.1). I tried wiping various combinations of dalvik cache, data, cache, system, internal storage - still always stuck on boot animation. I tried leaving it for a long time always, the longest was over 2 hours. I feel like I'm missing wiping something since it seems like the issue is going from a 7.1 rom down maybe?
More info: I was using SLiM ROM (MM 6.0.1) for a while but it got extremely slow and poor battery life after a while. I flashed LineageOS for Z3C and it worked fine, but wasn't my cup of tea, so I wanted to go back to stock-based. I figured I'd try eXistenZ (MM 6.0.1). The instructions said to be on 23.5.A.1.291 first, then root it, and then flash the existenz zip. I didn't downgrade to .291 the first time and it didn't work. Second time I flashed a stock D5803_23.5.A.1.291 (which booted up normally). Went through the rooting process (as seen here), and that worked fine. But the next step of flashing eXistenz didn't work. I tried again from the start, but this time I couldn't boot into after flashing 23.5.A.1.291 again. This is where the problem started. I tried Slim and various roms using fastboot, various versions of twrp, and even a 6.0.1 backup through twrp. Always regardless of ROM, it gets stuck on boot animation. Except for LineageOS.
Hi, I'm in the exact same situation, I have Lineage OS 7.1 installed and I can't go back to any custom ROM based on Android 6.0 stock, all I get is always a bootloop. The only other ROM I can install is Sony stock via Flashtool. I really don't know what the problem is, please let me know if you manage to solve this weird problem.
Install old twrp, wipe /apps_log.
Or use emma to get a clean device again.
I solved the issue installing stock Android 6.0 with Flashtool, twrp 3.0.2 and then flashing ROM. :good:
