So I was on the road to installing the Marshmallow Dr. Ketan ROM for Jio VOLTE.
The problem occurred because I mistakenly selected something into the 'BL' section of ODIN instead of the 'AP' section.
Ever since then I haven't been able to neither boot into the phone nor get into recovery.
What should be my next step for getting the phone to work again?
All I can do is get into download mode and restart the phone. I can't seem to catch the phone in the middle of the restart to boot into recovery for some reason. I even re installed the TWRP recovery (AP in odin) it installed fine, but I just can't seem to get into recovery.
Any and all help much appreciated!
Find and download bootloader and flash it through Odin. Then reflash recovery. That should do the trick, (make sure u download the right bootloader! Or you might hardbrick you're fone!)

Hi guys.
Im new with rooting and flashing so here is my story:
I rooted my phone, then i dit go to recovery mode. But without clockworkmod. Then I clicked update. And selected the .zip rom file. After installation, it did boot, then shut off, then boot, then shutoff endless. So I thought maybe I should install feamod now. So I did that via odin (I could go into download mode) And then I cant get to recovery mode anymore, now it is download mode, shut off, download mode, shut off. And than I thought maybe install a custom rom. So did I: Android 2.3.6, and when installed via odin: download mode, shut off. AGAIN!!!! WHAT CAN I DO PLS?!?!?
Kind regards, nikosb10
First calm down ! Then get into download mode dowload a firmware for your phone from samfirmware.com and flash it as onepackage file via odin. After it booted again make a factory reset and wipe dalvik cache, cache and wipe all data everything should be fine again.
one way to solve your problem is to flash a stock kernel but u will loose ur all data(if u dont have a backup)then root ur device and do ur thing

You have to flash a stock firmware (custom firmware as a odin package does the same), if Odin doesn't work correct for you, you should visit this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001
I have rooted my S5570I with universal root I found here, and it worked, but I decided to install MIUI and I forgot to install Clockwork Recovery, so it failed, and now when i try to turn on my phone it just gets stuck on boot. But I can access download and recovery mode. When I go to recovery, it says that it's unable to mount /system. And when I try to flash stock firmware in odin (Indian firmware on phone from Croatia, I have read that it's the same, only that my phone will be named Galaxy Pop) it won't discover my phone. (It is in download mode) And also kies can't discover it. Before I try to flash in odin, I make sure that no kies processes are open in task manager. I tried to install Clockwork recovery with flashing in normal android recovery, and it says that it's complete, and when I press reboot, take out the battery, and go to recovery again, it's the same. Can anyone help?

Please dont make thread for this ..
There are already so many threads relating to this,u can discuss there ..
hello everyone,
I rooted my galaxy ace S5830 using single one click. after that used the stock recovery to install CWM (i changed the name to update.zip and use it from my SD card). By this i lost my recovery option.
I started the phone and used the CWM.apk installed in my apps to flah the recovery again, at this point after restart by the app, the phone stuck and don't start or enter the recovery.
Ican enter download mode (Only word downloading is diplayed on the screen). Now when i try to download the stock ROM or the CWM using Odin, it take very long time and stop at the same point (download MIBIB file). WHen trying to download the recovery using odin, it stuck in the download .img file.
U tried it with different odin versions, but all stuck.
Any advice?

Hello, thank you for repalu. I can boot on the download mode only. I solved it after correcting the (OPS) file name. I found a post on another site said it must be (Cooper_v1.0.ops). After doing that, i can use Odin normally to download the recovery CWM and stock ROM.
i was on the Liquidsmooth rom, i wanted to go to FireKat.
i tried to go back to stock using Odin, using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/development/guide-odin-to-stock-unrooted-firmware-t2957156 and in the middle of Odin doing its thing it failed.
now im stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an Issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
so i downloaded Kies, and my phone isnt recognized.
what can i do so that i can at least get the phone working again?
Several options - first why did you not flash over recovery?
Second boot into recovery and reset.
Third if you can't get into recovery flash a custom recovery such as twrp and flash a new rom.
Hope this helps

the instructions on the first page of the FireKat rom say to "1. Odin Flash Stock ANK4" so flashing via recovery is not a option.
i no longer have a recovery, during the Odin flash back to stock it failed and deleted my recovery. only thing i could boot into is DL mode.
i ended up having the wrong verison of Kies, had to use a older version. the phone was recognized and i "unbricked" the phone.
Meaning install a custom recovery and a different rom and you should be fine

The first step is just to make sure u r on the most current bootloader.
Can you boot the phone into download mode? If so you can flash recovery and a new ROM.

You should be using keis 3 anything else will fail. If you have download mode Odin back to stock with factory firmware. Tekhd has a step by step on how to root. Download firmware from sammobile and ur back to business. Pick your ROM careful.
BAD ASS NOTE 4 & GEAR S
Happened to me once, seems dumb enough, but change USB cable when flashing stock with odin. If you have access to download mode, you have not perma-bricked your device. Might help. Might not
I downloaded CF-autoroot and followed these steps and now it is stuck on bootloop. I downloaded Odin 3.10.6 and right cf-auroroot version as well.
http://galaxys6root.highonandroid.com/galaxy-s6-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s6-or-s6-edge/
"When done, you should see “RESET!” on ODIN program and your S6/S6 Edge will reboot to show something like below. This is where CF-Auto Root roots your S6/S6 Edge."
It never boots into recovery and it's immposible to manually boot to it as well. It just auto-reboot and stuck on "samsung powered by android."

Try this....run cf auto root again with Odin...make sure NOTHING is checked under "options" (the tab above the log)...after it finishes (only said RESET! for me too)...once it is done, hold VOLUME DOWN AND POWER until the screen goes black....it should (did for me) boot into stock recovery and finish the root process... Once it is done, reboot system.....you should be rooted now.
