[Q] I think I brocked my phone

I used CWM to flash cm9 ROM to my phone and upon rebooting it entered a boot loop. I can still get into download mode but am unable to get into recovery. I keep thinking if I can perform a factory reset on my phone I can flash the original firmware and start over....but how do I do that when I can't get into recovery? Please Help!

I had something similar to this, I had a corrupt flash and it wouldn't let me even get to recovery. What i did was open up kies, go to tools, then Firmware upgrade and initialization. Follow the steps, you need the model SGH-t879 and your SN from the back of the phone under the battery. Let it flash it to the phone and it should reboot. I'm not 100% this would work, but it worked for me so it could be worth a shot.

Or go to download mode, flash recovery again. Then flash roms etc...

Hard Brick?

I was trying to change roms, and I during Rom installation it just rebooted, first that has ever happened. I shrug it off, then play store starts messing up, so I try to Odin, and for whatever reason it decided to reboot that as well, so now I'm stuck in a boot loop. Suggestions, help, anything at all please......

It was booting up as if it was going into recovery, then just turning off, and repeating the process. How I was able to fix this was instead of trying the full firmware Odin I used this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...mware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2902574
And used partial, that worked. Now any ideas about it interrupting recovery?

What firmware are you on ? And when you Odin did you use latest firmware ruu

Try wiping all except ext SD then wipe dalv and cache then reboot

I did not use an ruu, just the cfroot. At that point my recovery, rebooted and tried to continue while it was installing supersu. It did that multiple times before I knew something was wrong, after awhile I used the partial tar from NK4. Now the play store it force closes when trying to download, and gives me rpc-7 aec 7, then I follow the steps, removing the account etc.... but it does not work. On top of that recovery still kicks me into reboot while I'm trying to install something.

Try pulling the battery, then do a full wipe and then try flashing firmware again.

The problem is Recovery is rejecting everything I try to install, well everything big, I go in to flash a rom and during the installation it literally reboots to the system. That's what happened during full firmware flash odin. I tried to also use flashify to revert to stock, same the recovery green android shows up, but kicks me out anything but a partial flash does not work. Now I'm trying to Odin full stock, and its halfway through.

Start over. Go back and grab the files to flash in Odin. Make sure you got good downloads. Flash back to stock, then re root.
Also did you get the bootloader unlocked before you tried to flash recovery. You may want to run that processes again as well.
Somewhere in your process you got a bad flash. Most likely it is either while you unlocked the bootloader, or when you flashed recovery.
If you don't want to start completely over you can try flashing your recovery again in ODIN. It might be the best place to start.

Successfully flashed stock odin, or so i thought..... Its now stuck in a bootloop from the samsung screen to being able to wipe to get into the phone then reboots. Then went into recovery to wipe. For whatever reason that worked. So far so good, Its finally not rebooting during recovery. I guess I just needed to revert to stock.

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.

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?

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.

Use odin 3.13.1 latest
Check nand erase all in odin options
Check F-reset time in odin options
Check Auto reboot in odin options
Make sure download and Flash latest stock firmware
Boot straight into stock recovery after odin show pass
Wipe data factory reset in recovery
Wipe cache in recovery
Reboot and wait 10 to 15 minutes on 1st boot
