Do you have usb debugging enabled? You have to use adb logcat in cmd while the device is connected and is booting.

I tried to install stock rom using twrp but zip is failing.. file is good only, I tried different firmwares..same errors

You can't flash Samsung stock ROM through TWRP, you need ODIN to do so. You can get your stock ROM from here (SM-N950F).

I tried using odin, it passed and boot loop still there

As I know, the one package file of extension (.tar.md5) is placed under One Package field & not in PDA.
Also u need an ops file which should be placed under OPS field.

I was flashing before like this, everything was fine. There must be a way to fix this.
Nobody? Is anything possible with adb or fastboot?
EDIT: I fixed it. Thanks anyway.

Hello, I'm having exactly the same problem. I went back to stock from cm10, but now I have a bootloop (boots until samsung logo and reboots.)
I think I just need to wipe data, but I can't access recovery. I even flashed cwm a few times and flashed the stock rom with a pit file, but I'm still stuck on samsung logo.
So, any help?
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1853159

first switch to download mode then connect ur mob with pc , then use odin and update it with original pda ..

Hi, I had exactly the same problem, flashed the stock firmwire but it gets stuck on samsung logo, flashed few CWMs but nothing. I really didn't know what to do, then my battery became critical so i connected it to the pc and let it charge. While charging, I tried to acces the CWM recovery (home+volume up+volume down + power) and BAM! It opened recovery, I deleted all user data, cache and factory reset, rebooted and it worked.
Try to flash stock rom
Flashing stock rom didn't work.

Hi All,
I was struggle with bootloop issue for 3 days. I got my problem when I forgot to wipe phone returning ROM 10.2 to stock rom. Before I didn’t have any problems with getting to recovery mode but after I was not able to get to CWM. Also did try (vol+) (vol-) (home) hold while odin reset all I get RUMDAMP ARM9. Same when trying to hold recovery combination while normal boot. I have no problems with getting to Download mode.
Phone show Samsung animation and then vibrate once, pause, vibrate twice.
What work for me.
Recovery Combination = (vol+) + (vol-) + (home) + (pwr)
1. With odin 3.04 (don know if version matters I hade SS_DL.dll in same folder as odin) I install cwm-6.0.3.3-b2-jena.tar.md5
2. It restarted and get boot loop again
3. When I hold recovery combination phone didn’t boot. But what did I remove battery plug it again. Press (pwr) and immediately (maybe 0.5 sec) I hold rest of the recovery combination. Phone boot and show me logo so I release the buttons. To my surprise I did boot to CWM. (don’t know way but I didn’t do wipe immediately but I restart did try it again to be sure if this works – and it did, at least for me)
Rest was easy (WIPE Factory Reset, Cache, Dalvik Cache and just in case fix permission) restart and did boot to Stock ROM. For some unknown reason now I can normally CWM just buy holding combination and releasing as soon as Samsung logo show up.
I hope this will help somebody.
Now im using CM 10.1 07/07
My phone is S6500D no NFC
Cheers,
Maciej

everything went fine in Odin, no error messages, but my phone is stuck on the initial loading screen (that one with the samsung logo) and it's not loading properly.. I tried to wait like 10 minutes, but nothing changed..
How can I restore everything as it was before? Or flash properly a new rom??
Please help, I'm afraid I broke it..
Thank you in advance for any advice

Hello!
Can you get into download or recovery mode?
If you can go to recovery try wipe cache and if it doesnt work try wipe data but remember it deletes all apps!!

Don't worry, it is just a digestion problem (bootloop). CF-root doesn't work with every firmware. If yours wasn't compatible, bootloop is normal reaction. Check my last thread and there you can find step-by-by step guide how to unbrick it.

Sorry for the late reply: anyway no, the only thing I could do was watch the phone reboot and reboot and reboot and reboot and, finally, reboot

Great, mate- I'm glad it works again
CF-Root is made AMAIK for Gingerbread ROMs only, and if you have Froyo it is enough to flash SpeedMod root kernel that already features CWM recovery, Busybox and SU. You should always ready very carefully the first posts of the files you flash, so you will void many potential problems.
If you did it after my unbrick guide thread, backup your IMEI No as soon as you root your phone (described how to)
Just click "thanks" button beyond posts which were useful for you, it is our way to express it on this forum (and many us here are visiting the forum to help each other)

phone stuck on bootloop

Hi! My phone suddenly shut down while I was using it. It isn't the first time so I thought I could just flash stock rom to make it work again but it didn't work. Factory reset on the original recovery failed (it's taking too long) so I have twrp flashed. I've wiped cache, data, almost everything I could wipe lol. So far these are the things I've tried but phone is still stuck on bootloop:
I've tried to reflash the stock rom using sp flash tool but it's still stuck on bootloop.
I've flashed a custom rom and it's still stuck on bootloop.
Tried to flash an update.app but got mbr failed error.
The phone can be recognized by the pc and I can go to recovery. Please share your thoughts on this :crying:
i dont know if this will help but i had updated from b127 to b320 and unlocked+rooted it and after that while flashing a software called magisk it got softbricked and was not going past the honor logo... i tried to flash the stock b108 rom using 'format and upgrade' option in spf tools and now the phone did not even turn on just vibrated every 15 20 seconds... after hours of searching saw a guy using the download option to flash the stock rom... i tried it and it worked... got my phone back to life... phew...

stuck in bootloop, i have no history about what happened before

hi guys, a friend of mine gave e this samsung galaxy tab S2 SM-T715 32GB that is stuck on bootloop, he said nothing about what he has done to it (sadly) all i know is that it's stuck in bootloop and it's impossible to access the recovery... what i've tried so far is this:
- find a TWRP and flash it with odin v3.14, which works but when the tablet reboots it's stuck on bootloop and i can't access the recovery
- find and flash an older version of the TWRP that's for the android 5.1 stock rom, flashed in and worked, though i can't access it after the reboot
- find and flash the latest OFFICIAL rom which works because when i get into the download mode i see "samsung official" on "binary" and not "custom" as it was after the previous tries
if anyone has an idea about what i should do please help me ^^ the tab is still in good condition and would be a waste to throw in the garbage tbh

Try perhaps with Frija in place of samfirm and perhaps with heimdall (under Linux but also windows I think) in place of Odin.

mine is still up >30 hrs so looking promising. I've been working on it for 8 months or more. Thinking back, looking at the flash in "edl mode" guide . . .
[GUIDE] How to dump and write back the storage on most of Qualcomm devices
This is a generic guide that could be suitable for many Qualcomm based devices, once the phone can be triggered to EDL mode. To make sure this guide will work as expect, following requirements are needed: - Know how to trigger the phone to EDL...
forum.xda-developers.com
. . maybe this is how I should have done it, but mine was stable in download mode.
In the end this is what I did ymmv.
flash back to 5.0.2stock with heimdall,
flashing twrp3.1.0-1, format internal partitions,
reflash 5.0.2stock, & twrp3.1.0-1.
edit: after 1 day it is rebooting again. groan.
