[HELP] Soft-brick my phone (I think)

Hello, I have been trying to flash for 2 days now but still couldn't get it working.
Initially, my I9305 is running on stock without root. I wanted to root it and then install recovery and ROM.
And so I prepare the necessary files, and start to flash.
I used CF-Auto-Root to root my device first, then got Resurrection ROM and Gapps to flash.
Then I started to get some issue, as it always fail. Error message like no file context and so on. So I read online resources, and found out that I had a older version of TWRP installed which may cause the install.
I then tried to upgrade TWRP but it doesn't allow me to. No choice, I had to flash philz touch, and I did.
I then tried to flash Resurrection again, boot up, and it keep giving me bootloop. After which I downloaded nameless ROM, and CM11 but same issue.
Yesterday night, I downloaded the stock firmware to try. I flashed it, and it is successful based on ODIN, but it still won't boot up.
I just tried it again and it stuck on the Samsung logo screen.
Can anyone tell me what else to do? What I have to do?
This is the stock firmware that I have downloaded and flash - I9305XXUENH1_I9305EVRENH1_EVR.
Let me know what other information I have to provide.
Thanks!
Here's the Download mode information.
Custom binary count: 9 counts
Current binary: samsung offical
System status: custom
Knox void: 1
RP SWREV: A2
Update: 16/1
I just tried to go into my recovery mode and apparently, it has been changed back to stock recovery which I assume is because I have flashed the stock firmware.
I am trying it yet again after wiping in stock recovery, to flash the stock firmware again now.
P.S: I have posted it in http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help-i9305/qa-samsung-galaxy-s3-lte-roms-kernels-t2999494 but no reply. So trying my luck here.
Ok, this is funny. I waited for 2-3 days before posting here for help. And it doesn't work for all those days.
Now that I just posted, it finally worked. I am getting into the setup screen.
Anyway, for those people who may have the same issue as me in the future, try to wipe everything after flash to stock firmware. then flash stock firmware again.
After flash
It's a good call,as per your last post,to wipe data and factory reset after a flash and even a second install.Need to give time for changes to occur.Don' go too fast.HTH.

Bootloop on custom ROMs; stock ROM OK

Hi all!
I flashed my recovery to TWRP and ever since then, I always get stuck in bootloop no matter what custom ROM I try. Flashing back to stock rom via ODIN works.
It's been a while since I've tinkered with custom ROMs so I may be missing something. Any ideas on where to start?

Hi,
Which phone ? i9305 or i9300 ?
Which version of TWRP do you use ?
You should try latest version of TWRP (2.8.7.3).
Or try Philz touch Recovery 6.48.4 or 6.59.
1.Repeat ODIN step to stock rom
2.Root the phone by kingroot (as it's doesn't required pc)
3.After rooting, Download Cwm rom manager
4.Install Cwm by selecting your phone model and etc
5.flash it directly from the apps
6.now you can flash any rom ( please backup your system for your safety)

Problem Flashing Offcial Firmware

Hi, Dear xda members
Last week i soft bricked my Sony Xperia Z c6603
After flashing modified kernel, i lost everything
I couldn't reach recovery even couldn't flash one with fastboot(as my device was not recognized)
I tried flashing offcial firmware through flashtool. It succeeded flashing
But After reboot i had bootloob and the ROM didn't boot
Finally I had a solution to get my phone fixed. Here's what i did:
*Reboot to FlashMode
*In flashtool I flashed TWRP Recovery in FlashMode
Now all custom ROMs are working but when I flash an official and other ROM's based on official, I'm having bootloops
Tried to wait. NO result
Could you help me with it?
P.S the modified kernel was made by this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ot-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605/
When i softbricked my phone I tried to fix it according to this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...rick-sony-xperia-z-c6602-c6603-c6606-t3215134

I have several problems too including not being able to run stock anymore. (endless black screen after experia logo). I tried flashtool (latest stock via xperifirm), Sony's flashtool. Companion didn't even want to flash (UEGetPhoneInfoMissingInfo), and left me wondering wether something is corrupt.
I've been running CM's for a while now and was wondering why NFC was not working. Not sure if it needs an updated firmware or what.
Other problem I've seen is that "fastboot flash recovery" always gives an error. "fastboot flash boot" works (this is how I install TWRP).
Can I try zeroing mmcblk0 or would that brick it? (does it really need to have a TA partition to accept boot connection? How does Sony init it anyways?)
I think I have a mmcblk0 backup from after unlocking (DRM lost though) but perhaps that will give me a somewhat clean situation again. Or perhaps I can compare it.
Edit: dd-ed my old mmc backup and now Xperia Companion didn't give an error anymore, did a factory reset, and after a long wait of the blue waving animation, I got it to work.
Even NFC firmware update started after rooting and deleting /data/ucf folder.
Now I want to go back to Nougat xD

[Solved] Rom setup blocked, Tab S2, T813 blocked!

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.

Can't flash recovery on my S3

Hello, just bought an used i8190. Since last friday i have been trying to flash a custom recovery on this phone via Odin, but after i flash it returns to the default recovery on next boot.
Yes, i have unchecked the "Auto-reboot" option on Odin. I turn off the phone and then manually enter recovery but with no results. I rooted the phone pretty easily and installed both TWRP and CWM apps to flash from android, but they don't work either (twrp crashes always and CWM just gives me an error.
Mi baseband model is XXAll2
kernel is 3.0.31 [email protected] (root name seems weird)
I searched the forum and found similar cases with the baseband, but even so i haven't found a concrete solution.
I even flashed a new pre-rooted rom from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030282
Mi compilation number has changed to XXAMG1 but the baseband remains the same. I can't flash a recovery whatever i try.
I hope someone can give me an answer, cause i really want to use this phone feautures to it's fullest
Update:
Somehow, i managed to flash CWM via it's app successfully. However, when i tried to flash the TWRP via zip all i got was a blank screen and the phone booted directly to Android. I had to reflash the cwm with the app. However, i tried flashing via odin the Lineage os 14 from novafusion and i got a bootloop, reflashed the old stock firmware and now my device works but the recovery doesn't, and can't even flash this time via the app.
I tried flashing via ODIN stock recovery and other recoverys and i still get the same result. I have downloaded some stock roms, but im afraid to flash them in case i end up in a bootloop and unable to access recovery still
Any clues?

Flash the stock rom as it will fix bootloops and bricked devices. Make sure to have the right ROM and flash it with Odin. The os may take longer on first boot and make sure to factory reset it as data may cause bootloops, then try flashing the recovery.
I flashed twrp 3.1.1 through Odin
