Hi everyone,
I've had numerous problems with OTA updates with my AT&T SM-G900A since I got it. I'm not in the US anymore and my phone was unlocked, so I thought "hey, how hard could it be" and tried to flash it.
I used the following binaries that were posted here a couple of days ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/g900aucs4cpa2-odin-files-em-hot-t3372388
I ran them through Odin3 3.09, and got a PASS - but the phone is stuck at the boot logo screen ("Samsung Galaxy S5 Powered by Android" screen).
Download mode still works, but normal booting, recovery booting and safe mode do not.
Any suggestions on what I could do?
EDIT: I used the stock image located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714455 to reflash it using Odin again. It seems to have worked, though all sorts of apps were crashing. I've just done a factory reset and am in the process of restoring it, but it seems promising for now. Never trying to update AT&T crap again.
Hey man, are you still having troubles? I just rooted my Sm-G900A, and then decided to use Odin to flash it with the 5.1.1 files. So this is what happened to me:
1: Flashed AP with the 5.1.1 file, passed but stuck at the Samsung Logo- Powered by Android.
2: rebooted into download mode and flashed "BL" or Bootloader with the 5.1.1 file and I got passed that screen. Now I'm waiting for it to optimize my apps.
My guess is after we flash the AP file we then have to flash the bootloader as well. So if you haven't tried that I'd suggest it to see what happens.

Hello,
I have weird problem with my Samsung captivate.
I install a new rom on my device and it work well for several hours buy than it suddenly stop to work.
After a reset my device get stuck on the at&t screen.
I entered the download mode and flashed clean rom with odin (and check the Master Clear option).
But it still get stuck on the at&t screen.
Is this can be hardware problem?
Is there any way to get the log file from the boot to find out what is the problem?
I rooted my galaxy using a CF kernel while on android 2.2. The root was successful but the Wi-Fi stopped working, so I decided to unroot my phone. The unrooting didn't show any error in Odin and displayed "Pass" but got stuck while booting at the model name image. The only thing I can do right now is get into download mode. I've tried rooting and unrooting again, and even though it "Passes", its still stuck in boot.
I have rooted and unrooted my phone before without any errors. What do I do?
Background: I purchased a T Mobile Note 4 to use on AT&T. The root and unlock (cellunlock.net) went without any issues. I've been using it for 48 hours and everything running smooth. I decided to do a factory reset. Big Mistake!
At reboot, it is stuck on "Initiating System Update...." I can't go into stock recovery because it goes to "Initiating System Update..."
What can I do? Odin firmware my only option? I can still get to Download Mode.
Any help much appreciated.
Flashed firmware through Odin. All is well.
I recently got a new ATT galaxy s5 (G900A). Upon setting it up, I used OTA to take it from stock to the latest version which was 5.1.1 I believe.
I then failed to do thorough research and attempted to downgrade it to 4.4.2 which started causing problems.
I retracted my actions in chronological order to help in troubleshooting this situation:
Upgraded via OTA to 5.1.1
used odin 3.10.7 in AP mode with file "AP_G900AUCU1ANCE_964333_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5"
Odin reported a failure after a few moments of me pressing the "start" button. for the above AP file. On the phone's screen (whilst in download mode) , it showed the progress bar as not being completed and also not progressing after Odin Failed. I had to pull battery to restart the phone.
restarted phone and it threw a splash screen saying to use kies recovery due to a firmware error.
entered download mode, used odin in AP mode to flash "G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions.tar.md5"
phone rebooted and hung on Samsung Galaxy S5 logo
entered recovery mode (vol up, home, power) to reset the cache, still hung up on samsung logo
entered recovery mode again to do factory reset/wipe, still hung on samsung logo
pulled battery, used odin in AP mode to flash file "G900A_OC4_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5"
phone rebooted and hung on Samsung Galaxy S5 logo
I did quite a bit of searching around and have employed a few attempts at fixing the issue as listed above. I am still hanging on the Samsung logo though.
Could anyone offer me some insight on how to go about resolving this situation?
Thanks for your time!

Totally ran into exactly the same issue...I am trying to sort out the details of it today and will post up what I find...I believe the answer lies somewhere in getting back to stock OF3 firmware + OF3 kernel without root via ODIN .tar file but we shall see. Also ..I am currently running ODIN v3.09
Get the phone up and running
Ok this is what I did to get my phone back up and running,
What happened was I did what it said on the downgrade thread here on xda, it didn't work. But of course it left my phone stuck on download mode.
I used a program from z3x to download the pit file, that usually takes it out of download mode. Then I booted into recovery, I had the 4.2 recovery on a 5.0 rom.
So I was stuck un bootloop, but there is a way to get it out.
downloaded the update and sent it with adb sideload.
so in other words
things you need
1. easy adb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118
2. update file for S5, from my google drive http://*******/1TjDwb
Steps I took
1. go to recovery mode by booting with volume up + home + power
2. select apply update from adb
3. install easy adb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118
4. go into any command shell ( cmd or windows powershell) and send the file by adb
in my case it was "adb sideload 2400258.cfg"
5. wait for the phone to apply the update and restart.
I have a long browsing history (about 7 devices and various browsers), I don't really have time to look up the thread I got the update from.
I feel the need to make this post as I have yet to find anyone else with the exact same issue as me, however here is the details:
I am running a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 SM-N950U from AT&T
Rooted with SamFAIL one month ago without any issues.
Context:
Yesterday when I turned on my phone for no obvious reason it just got stuck into a boot loop (the one where it stays on the Samsung logo forever. Did the obvious steps with no effect.
Afterwards, I tried to follow the SamFAIL root guide from the start to end just to see if it would fix it (I was desperate). Everything went fine, however, when it booted up and whenever it does boot up it starts black then it flashes the recovery mode screen for half a second (I'd post an image, but I am not allowed to, just search up, "recovery mode note 8" and look at the images with the blue background and android mascot), displays some white text on the black screen for perhaps a second, goes black and repeats this. I am able to enter download mode and upload mode, but whenever I try booting into the actual phone this happens.
Strange problem huh? Any hope for me, or do I have a brick now? It's been looping this process for the past 20 minutes now. For now, my plan is to try flashing the stock firmware with Odin. (My internet is slow so it will likely take all day for that file to download.
