SM-N920W8 stuck on bootloop after flashing stock rom AND wiping data/factoryreset - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I am really at my wits end.
I have never unlocked, or rooted this phone. I was having random reboots/bootloops constantly on my phone so I decided to reset cache as per many people's instructions.
It seems that evena fter flashing stock roms and wiping the data/cache it remains in bootloop. After flashing with odin, it will say installing updates, go to 32% then will say "erasing", then say installing updates then bootloop.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I believe my DRK is okay, no errors there.
Should I try to root, unlock and install a custom rom? What are these kernels and should I try those too?
Please, if anyone has anything they think might work please, please please help me.
Thanks,
Tom

My first guess is a bad battery.
If that is not the problem, you could probably fix it by flashing a rom, either a stock one using odin(Not ICS), or a custom one from recovery(Aryamod maybe)
If its a bad battery then, performing the setup while charger is connected should keep the phone ON.
Before this problem battery back up was almost 1 day with moderate use
can i try factory reset with charger plug in as @nokiamodeln91 said
Tried setup with charger connected but this time also at at the end of the setup phone hang rebooted itself after reboot stuck at Samsung logo
kindly help
Again,

Also before flash using Odin, boot into recovery, fomat system, data, cache and preload.. then go to advanced... reboot download and flash the rom with odin .. or use recovery to flash a custom rom.
i am newbie so kindly advice me which custom rom i should use with download link
i have to simply copy it to sd card and flsh it with Philz signed
or i have to do some more

And yes, you just flash that rom from recovery, from your sd card.. After that you will want to do another factory reset, and clean cache.
Flashed with custom rom as you suggested @Azeazezar
but in this rom smoothness gone sluggish & poor touch sensitivity
what is the reason behind it
My stock JB was sooth enough
Use it for a day.

BRICKED? when changing from N920G back to N920i

Hi all
I think I may have completely effed my n920i.
Backstory :
Few months back i updated my phone from N920i 5.1.1 to N920G 6.0.1 using the 4 files from the MEGA link.
Everything was working good for the past few months, all the regular OTA updates went smoothly.
Over the last couple of weeks I noticed my mobile data was having issues (dropping out, only connecting 3g etc) so I decided it was time to switch back to N920i 6.0.1 since it has now been released in Australia.
I followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/flash-to-n920i-n920g-bl-modem-reverting-t3367903 using Odin3 v3.10.7
However i did not wipe cache, factory reset, etc and during the first attempt it failed. I was still able to restart the phone at that point. i rebooted into download mode and tried again. This time it failed but now I cannot reboot into recovery, flash any other ROMs using Odin as it keeps failing or turn it off.
The only options are to enter download mode or the blue screen saying something happened during the update and to use emergency smart switch. I can't even turn the phone off.
I have tried emergency smart switch using my model and SN and it still does not work. It'll download and when it goes to install it fails.
I've tried flashing the 4 file N920i 5.1.1 firmware with no luck as well.
Sorry for the long read but I wanted to cover the steps I took. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
bump.
Okay so the plan here is to install a recovery and wipe everything, then try flashing an original ROM in Odin
1. Flash TWRP Recovery and don't let the phone restart, immediately hold buttons for restart recovery
2. If this doesn't work, hold the buttons for restart in Download Mode. Once in DL mode, power off and quickly hold buttons for recovery. You may have to reflash TWRP if this doesn't work
3. Once in TWRP click on Wipe, Advanced and wipe Dalvik, System, Cache.
4. Reboot into Download Mode and try flashing ROM with Odin
thanks for providing the instructions however the moment i try to flash TWRP Recovery it fails in odin and this is what it says on my phone's screen.

Sprint Note 5 Boot-looping trouble!?

This is my first post and I'm in need of some help that I can't seem to find anywhere when searching the internet. I'm not a developer nor am I close lol I just have tons of fun learning the development process - it's seriously one of my favorite things to do. Anyways I've messed up royally with my Galaxy Note 5 N910P and I'm stumped on what I should do next! So here's the issue: My Note 5 will not stop boot looping!!! I've flashed stock, almost every version that I'm able to and nothing has worked. The last thing I remember doing before it started this b.s is rooting with CF Auto root. I've always used twrp then flashed Supersu and the dm verity and never had issue! But after flashing the CF Auto root I kept getting kernel is not seandroid enforcing and then the dreadful boot loop issue that has been going on for three days now! Is there something i'm missing? or not doing right? Please message me and let me know, and if this is the wrong place to post about this, I dont mind if my post is taken down just at least help with my question some how! Thank you, XDA is my favorite place - you guys are awesome, I don't trust any other source!!!

First of all you have entered wrong model no here note 5 model no should be SM-N920xx
1)Have you enabled Oem unlocking from developers option before flashing twrp and cf-autoroot using odin? If not then you done a mistake!!
2) Have you tried to flash latest stock firmware using odin with latest usb drivers installed on you pc and proper odin flashing guide?(Flash latest 6.0.1 for your device with latest usb drivers installed on pc and connect phone to main usb port using original usb cable) After flashing stock rom if your facing bootloop then you can try reset through stock recovery (Press volume down+power button to switch off your phone..When screen shuts off immediately press volume up+power+home key simultaneously untill you see Samsung galaxy note 5 logo, release keys..You are now in stock recovery from there choose wipe data/factory reset..After reset complete reboot your device)
3)If you can boot into twrp recovery normally then flash any custom rom suitable for your device i.e. for sm-n920p..Custom roms are pre-rooted so no need to flash cf-autoroot..Flash custom rom, if you successfully boot up the rom( It's difficult to boot custom rom though if you haven't enabled oem unlocking you will face custom binary is blocked by frp protection),then enable oem unlocking from developers option and try flashing stock rom again
4) Next option for you is download Samsung smart switch for pc, install latest usb drivers on your pc, connect your phone to pc in download mode(Press volume down+power+home button simultaneously),in smartswitch select emergency software recovery, it will ask you imei,model no and serial no which you can find either on box or back panel of your phone,smartswitch will detect latest stock firmware for your device, hit update now,give some time until update complete..Your device will be automatically reboot..If even you face bootlopp, then goto stock recovery(Press volume down+power button to switch off your phone..When screen shuts off immediately press volume up+power+home key simultaneously untill you see Samsung galaxy note 5 logo, release keys..You are now in stock recovery from there choose wipe data/factory reset..After reset complete reboot your device)
**IF SUGGESTION IN SECOND POST HELPS YOU THEN ITS DONE, AVOID NEXT SUGGESTIONS**
Are you sure you can't install cf auto root again to solve it? IF not...
I did a search and got hits for twrp for N910P. Get it loaded, get it wiped and have another shot at success. Next way to get rid of the persistent rooter gone rogue, load up a factory BL + AP. If that doesn't work download another version and try again.
I've enabled OEM unlocking, flashed latest stock AP...BL.. And so on, factory reset in both factory and TWRP. I have also tried flashing CF Auto root again to see if that would fix it also custom ROMs bootloop except for CM13 and Lineage OS- Which is weird because the ROMs are for the SM N920C model and I'm and Sprint model, So I don't understand that. Weird!! Everything recognizes me as SM N920C except when I am in download mode. Also, having no imei or any back ups make its even harder since my computer completely crashed on me because I am unable to use Samsung smart switch due to the wrong model and null imei. So I'm completely stumped with this issue. Not sure if its a corrupted partition or folders not being in the correct folder locations along with wrong permissions, I've literally stressed everything to my knowledge about this and I'm all out of what issues this could be related to

GT-N7000 stuck on Samsung boot up after trying to do a factory reset! Help Required

Hi all,
IT has been so long since I have flashed a rom, so I have forget how to troubleshoot. This phone I mainly use for apps and stuff and it definitely is rooted, as I still have the Odin download mode come up when I press home, power and volume down button. I was having slowness and difficulty for a bit, and some apps would tell me, I can't install them as I don't have the right version etc. Anyway, I uninstalled some of the android updates and all I kept getting was annoying pops up and slowness. I then decided to just do a factory reset, hoping it would wipe everything clean and return to stock. It now is stuck on the SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE GT-N7000 screen. I have tried all the tricks to get it to boot and nothing. It is stuck.
How do i bypass this, can it be done using Odin on my Mac? I am lost
Thanks for any help in advanced guys...:good::good::good:
When u are on mac, u have to use heimdall which is MUCH more complicated and nothing for beginners.
Use bootcamp to install windows and then download a firmware (e.g from updato) and boot into download mode.
Use Home+Power+Volume Up to get to the recovery mode.
Get your favourite rom on an SD card, downloaded from the PC.
Assuming that you have Philz or TWRP, flash it and it should work.
And if i dont have Philz or TWRP ?... (T_T)
You done the factory reset form the phone menu or the recovery?

Bro i have also same problem when I was flashing twrp through Odin .
My phone is stucking on twrp twrp is blinking again and again.also when I try to go to the download mode it automatically comes to bootloader and then to twrp please bro help if have fixed it
I was just speaking to a phone retailer and he told me how Shamshung M-series phones are getting locked by OEM manufaturer automatically within 6-7 months of usage (he was ready to show me evidence also so I believed him) , he said there is no solution to this So pls guys just an advice DO NOT CONNECT YOUR PHONE TO INTERNET FOR ANY OEM UPDATES,
1> TRY TO BUY PHONE FROM ONLINE STORE (BECAUSE RETAILER WILL FORCEFULLY UPDATE THE PHONE EVEN IF YOU TELL THEM NOT TO UPDATE)
2> FIRST, DONT PUT IN ANY SIM CARD IN SIM TRAY
3> SECOND, DISABLE WiFi (DONT SAVE ANY WiFi PASSWORDS) & TURN ON AIRPLANE MODE
4> THIRD, TURN ON DEVELOPER OPTIONS- USB DEBUGGING "ON" & DISABLE "KEEP MOBILE DATA ALWAYS ON" UNDER DEVLOPER OPTIONS
5> FOURTH, USE "DEBLOAT LIST" ATTACHED BELOW TO UNINSTALL INSTALLED APPS USING ADB
6> FIFTH, ONLY CONNECT TO WiFi FOR FEW SECONDS SO THAT THE OEM UNLOCK OPTION IN DEVELOPER OPTIONS GETS GREYED OUT.
7> SIXTH, FLASH ODIN-TWRP TAR FILE, WIPE/FORMAT DATA, BOOTLOGO PATCHER ZIP, MAGISK 24.3 ZIP, PRISH KERNEL (OR ANY KERNEL OF CHOICE), THEN FLASH TOTSUKA/PIXIE/CLEAN_OS/CrDroid10 (ONLY 3 STOCK-BASED ONEUI ANDRO 11 ROMS AVAILABLE, NO CUSTOM-BUILT NON-ONEUI ANDRO 11 ROMS AVAILABLE NOT EVEN M30S PORT ROM), VBMETA IMG
8> REBOOT TO TWRP, WIPE DATA
9> AFTER DEVICE BOOTS FIRST THING IS DISABLE WiFi & TURN ON AIRPLANE MODE, INSTALL NETGUARD FIREWALL APK THROUGH PACKAGE INStALLER (ALWAYS KEEP NETGUARD ON THROUGHOUT THE PHONE LIFETIME OTHERWISE SHAMSHUNG OTA MIGHT KILL THE DEVICE),
10> DEBLOAT BUILT-IN GAPPS USING ADB
11> INSTALL MICRO-G FROM TWRP
#NOTE: FOR FACTORY RESET SCENARIO REPEAT STEPS 10 & MAYBE 11 TOO.
AVOID VISITING OR USING OEM WEBSITES AND APPS. REMEMBER, FOR GUGLE EVERYONE IN THE WORLD IS A POTENTIAL TERRORIST.
