OK, using my phone normally rooted. I sometimes get random reboots and it bootloops. I have to force reboot a few times by holding power, bixby, volume down etc etc and it boots up normally.
This time, it did the same thing and force rebooting got me to the lockscreen but kept rebooting at that screen. I plugged in to the computer and forced reboot and it worked fine but for some reason but it made me start the whole setup process again as if I factory reset the phone but everything was still there except settings were reset.
Brightness wasn't working, so I tried to reboot to see if it would fix the problem but it started to bootlooping again and NOW I can't get past the lockscreen without it rebooting.
What do I do. I tried wiping cache in recovery but no dice. Can I reflash the firmware in odin? I don't want to lose any data. I know about flashing home csc instead but I'm rooted and I don't have the modified ap file from magisk, so wouldn't it just wipe my phone?
From my experience with the Galaxy S3 and S4, you will need to flash the firmware with Odin which will wipe everything. Use Samsung smart switch or TWRP to make a back-up of your data.

things have significantly changed since those days, but youre half right. In the new firmwares, there are 5 files. 3 of them have to be flashes as normal, but the last 2 are the CSC and HOME_CSC, you can shoose whichever of the 2 you want to flash depending on whether or not youll end up factory resetting. HOME_CSC doesnt wipe whereas CSC does.
OP, flash the HOME_CSC and the other 3 files as normal in Odin and you should retain your data and fix whatever part of the firmware is having a seizure. If the problem persists, then youre stuck with alternate methods of data recovery, including but not limited to ADB'ing into it while in the bootloader screen so long that you have ADB enabled in dev settings and then flashing the CSC to reset it. If THAT doesnt fix it, then youre prolly boned. Prolly a hardware issue at that point.
Where do you get HOME_CSC files from? Been looking for it for my AT&T firmware.

My S6 edge is in a bootloop. I put off the 5.1.1 OTA for a while when my wifi would not turn on. Rebooted, still didnt work. I decided to do the update. installation went great but now its in a boot loop. I flashed the firmware (BOG7) using Odin. It worked. The phone was back on again but then it shut off after a few hours.
Its been stuck in the bootloop again. I flashed BOG7 again. Ive Flashed BOG9. Ive flashed the stock PIT. Ive tried ADB sideload. Smartswitch and Kies do not recognize the device. Of course, Ive wiped cache and factory reset. Attempted booting in safemode. All flashes were successful but when it reboots, It says "erasing" and goes to bootloop (Samsung powered by android).... Drivers are installed and working. MTP is not installed and I cant find the file.
Please .
same problem
I'm having the same problem with boot loop on g925v stock. I'm wondering if the op or anyone else can help!
No mater what I do, phone reboots after almost exactly 1min9 sec. Just enough time to select a language, but not get past the next "activation" screen.
Background: Phone has never been rooted, at first was on og5 and started freezing on the verizon logo, so I factory data reset, and after that nothing has really changed. knox has not been tripped, frp not tripped
First I tried flashing og5 with odin,
(of course checked md5, and odin=pass, then after flashing, I always tried several combinations of booting to recovery for wipe cache partition/ factory reset / and also power down by holding volume down and power button, then select boot in safe mode)
Then tried flashing og7, still boot loop
then tried flashing og9, 3 times, again, also many attempts of factory data reset/ wipe cache partition / safe mode.
I am starting to think this may be a hardware problem, BUT unfortunately I do not have samsung warranty available on this phone so I am pretty much stuck messing with it.
In researching the issue, I have run across quite a few similar freeze/boot loop problems all over the web, and never any real solutions, for both g925v, g920v, and other s6 models. I've also seen a stock s6 g920v that freezes randomly, flashing stock og9 never helped, owner was planning to replace the battery and see if that helps (I have not heard back).
I've tried looking at the boot log but I'm no expert. I know I can't downgrade, but I'm wondering if there is anything I can do with adb, or any other bootloaders that I could try flashing over the og9 (even if just temporarily, assuming I will flash stock og9 again after).
Thanks for any encouragement, help or advice.
I finally gave up on my GS6 Edge because upon carefully taking it apart for the 3rd time I noticed physical damage up by the wifi receiver and SIM card slot. My advice would be to try the things I tried (above) and, if it's not a hardware issue, it may fix the problem. Good luck.

Phone: Mi 5 64gb
This is crazy guys, after I flashed LOS, I wasn't able to connect to the wifi and whenever I do, the phone causes to reset and ruin the Internet for every temporarily. I thought it was just this phone so I went to shop and switched for a new one. And as soon as I flashed RR, guess what? Same thing happens. I'm so lost, what did I do wrong? These are the steps I took to flash custom ROMs. First, I unlocked bootloader and flash TWRP 3.0xx recovery. Next, I factory reset, wipe cache system data everything and flashed firmware, then ROM, finally the Gapps. I tried to flash back to official ROMs, the problem remained. I'm so screwed, don't know if the shop gonna let me switch to a new one, again.
P.S. on the bright side, I can mess with other's Wifi, make them unusable.
P.S. 2 during zip installing in TWRP, I saw two red lines like this "E:unknown command [log], detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system, script succeeded: result was [1.000000]..." but it said done regardless
So I have a very odd problem, and I'm fairly experienced with repairing, rooting, and reverting phones to stock which have custom roms, in this case I have a completely stock note 5 which was experiencing a boot loop error at the note 5 model number screen. Going through the motions I normally would, hard reset, nope, safe mode, nope, wipe cache, nope, master reset, nope, so I flash the firmware with a stock rom, which worked, but resulted in the same problem, rebooting at the model number screen just before the samsung logo every few seconds, tried 3 other firmware versions and downloads, also no. Not sure whats up with this thing, but anyone have any ideas? I personally know the user, family, phone wasnt physically damaged or exposed to water. I'm also getting no command just before entering recovery and failed to mount/ preload (no such file or directory) during the master reset. Its been forever sense I've meddled with a note 5 and cannot remember if these are normal, or related to the issue, I dont ever remember seeing these with my own note 5.
I ran into this exact same problem weeks ago on my S7. I tried flashing 7.0 on my 930V and for whatever reason the phone went into the exact same bootloop showing the Samsung logo every few seconds, vibrating, etc. I got back into download mode but wasn't able to fix it. Then went into Recovery and it only said in blue letters in the top left "Recovery rebooting" and kept flashing that message. Lucky for me I was under warranty and sent it to Samsung. They replaced it free of charge. I ended up trading for a Note 5. I kept running into issues with my S7 and network issues so I traded it.
Anyway, I'm like you in the fact I'm pretty comfortable rooting, repairing devices etc. But I still don't know what I did to mess up that S7 in Odin. Just wanted to share that I had a similar situation. Hope you were able to get a new phone or fix your issue.

My suggestion is this..
Download the latest version of TWRP
Boot to Download Mode
Odin flash TWRP
Boot to TWRP Recovery
Full wipe including internal storage x 2
Format DATA x 2
Odin flash the latest firmware for your device
(All 4 - BLUE, AP, CP, CSC)
OR
Use Smart Switch Emergency Recovery to restore the firmware.
Hope this helps. Good luck and happy flashing! Let's us know what happens.

In this tutorial I will inform you on three different soft bricks, and how to fix them.
You must be able to boot into TWRP and/or Odin/Download mode!
1.) Verification Failed.
Method #1
This method will work with people whom can't reset their device, due to an unmountable /data partition, and those whom experience this error, who can reset but have valuable items, applications, videos, or photos that they don't want to lose. Must be able to boot into Odin/Download mode. (Volume Down+Home+Power)
The solution is actually pretty simple. Boot into Odin/Download mode. This has to be done correctly, not from TWRP recovery. When the prompt for "Volume Up = Continue" and "Volume Down = Cancel (Restart)" press volume down. You should no longer see verification failed, but instead be sitting on the T-Mobile logo. This is normal, and could take 30 seconds to 10 minutes, depending on the amount of data.
This method works all because of Knox. Knox is what Samsung uses to void your warranty. Companies are not allowed to void a warranty when rooting, installing roms, or recovery, unless they have direct evidence. Knox will trigger this when it isn't sure. It will try forcing you to bring it to Samsung, and they can directly find out why it was caused. This happens when it thinks that you cancelled.
Method #2
This one will require you to lose all your data, but is mainly intended for those whom cannot reset their device. Download the stock firmware from the links below. Open Odin (Jodin3 will not work! It is not fully functioning, do not try it.) and boot device into Download/Odin mode. On your computer, you should see 'Added' in the logs. If this does not show up download the Samsung USB Drivers. Select AP and then select the stock firmware. Now flash it. This can also be done through TWRP
For bootloop and frozen Android/Carrier logo just do Method 2. You usually will keep all your data.
FOR 'VERIFICATION FAILED' YOU CANNOT RESTORE FROM A BACKUP!
FOR BOOTLOOPS AND FROZEN STARTUP SCREEN, YOU CAN!

Post any bricks below that you have encountered!
I'm interested in how many variations there are, and how common they are.
One weird error I'm getting all of a sudden is "Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock" when I tried to reboot my phone. Any ideas?

Please describe this issue in further detail. Has this been happening out of nowhere, or did you just try flashing something via Odin/Download mode or TWRP.
Also, before flashing did you enable OEM unlock
This also happens when something flashed via Odin/Download mode is incompatible.
Are you still able to boot into the default system partition? If not safe mode?

I should have updated my post, I'm not sure what happened but I flashed stock through Odin and the problem went away, after that I was able to flash twrp and root/install other roms.
It's still weird that the problem happened out of nowhere, not sure what triggered it.
It goes away when u log in to google with the last account that is associated with the phone

Probs OTA. It happened to me my first 3 tries. Ended up factory reseting, and installing fresh via Odin, didn't fix it.
I just turned off auto reboot on Odin, and then pulled my battery on my J7. Booted up straight to Recovery from there.

Hi, I tried to root my phone and I got this error, I don't mind restarting the phone, but isn't there a way for me to backup my data (photos mainly) first?

Sorry I didnt respond.
Looks like you didnt flash encryption breaker. Keep this on your SD Card as its a great way to recover from these errors, and you will need it when you flash ROMS.
Just boot in recovery, flash ashix no verity no encrypt, then reboot into system. You shouldnt have this error.

He's referring to the encryption breaker file ("no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx.zip") in his first sentence. That is assuming you already had it and should be keeping it on your SD card all the time for flashing ROMs

I have a samsung j700t ud that had the 7.1.1 update installed from tmobile or samsung and it caused the to remain in a continual reboot loop until the battery of the phone dies. Will the methods above repair the issue?
Stuff I've tried:
1. Wipe cache
2. Called samsung and tmobile
3. Used samfirm to download firmware to use with odin that was successfully done but the reboot loop still remains.

Was the update sent out to you, or did you download it from SamMobile?
If the update was sent out to you I'm afraid I cannot help, but if you flashed it from SamMobile use an older version like Marshmallow or Lolipop.
EDIT: Make sure you factory reset device and wipe cache after installing from SamMobile.

I'm note sure if any of this will work, but this is what I would try:
Redownload the correct stock ROM, making sure it matches the specific hardware (Samsung Exynos vs Qualcomm). Additionally, check the checksum to make sure the download wasn't corrupted.
Flash everything again using Odin, making sure to include all partitions (BL, AP, CRC, etc.) in their correct slots.
If that doesn't work, clear data and reboot.
If that doesn't work, retry with only the AP (somehow does things differently with the partition table).
If that doesn't work, then I'm out of ideas. Maybe some of the more advanced features of Odin could help, but I'm not sure how those work, and you can really mess up your device with them.
Note that the first boot after a full wipe will take significantly longer than normal, as a lot of preparations need to be done. If it passed the bootloader to the second Samsung logo, give it around 10-15 minutes to be sure it's not just taking long.
