You need a "triangle away" app maybe you have incurred the limit for flashing rom that's why your seeing the red line!!!

Except there is no limit it's just a number and you don't trip or flashing in recovery. It only gets tripped by flashing non official Samsung firmware in Odin so I doubt his is higher then 1

I did but i tryed using that triangle away and it brought me back to the screen where it says unatorized software when I did a reboot and I need that firmware again so I can take it out of that unatorized software thing not unless if you know of a way to do it with out having to re dowload the stock firmware again thanks
Sorry I am new to this device. I was under the impression if you flashed it back to a stock rooted odin then you would have the original firmware and the app should work as advertised. Sorry never used it myself that is why I am curious incase I ever get in your position.

I need I 605 vrall4 stock image

I had my phone unlocked and rooted cleanrom 3.5 I downloaded triangle away because I was told it would fix allshare cast and that I needed a zero count so I bought the app and ran it ...Big mistake I lost trwp in the process and somehow got stuck in a bootloop so I did adams unroot method and went back to stock i605 vralljb great right ? Well no because in the process of when I went back to stock I ended up receiving the garbage ota vrall4 and I was having a hella time re rooting so I made a huge mistake I tried to use odin with bootloader locked to get back to I 605 vralljb it wont do it so now my phone goes through the process in odin but when it gets to recovery it fails halfway through the download ...When I turn my phone on it says Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue .Please select recovery mode in Kies n try again....WTF do I do ?

Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

Is this the Definition of a soft brick? Fix?

So I rooted my S4 and all was good (Not my first rodeo)
I was running a Stock Deodexed ROM and I flashed a mod to change the toggles to blue. Still... all was good, but
then I decided to start fresh and clean up a bit. So I formated the device, wiped caches, data reset, yadda ya...
Flashed a different Stock Deodex and everything still seemed fine. I tried flashing the blue toggle mod and then got stuck on boot. Pulled battery and still nothing. Wiped all data again and flashed the ROM again without doing the toggle mod. Ever since then, no matter what ROM I'm on or have any mods, if I reboot I get stuck at boot screen. The only way to get past this is to wipe EVERYTHING again and start over. However... Hot/Quick/Shell reboot doesn't lock up on me.
So basically I'm at a point with my S4 that makes it impossible to flash anything and be able to boot. I even have to wipe everything before I can do a successful restore.
I'm using TWRP 2.5.0.2 and currently on my latest backup of cleanrom 1.3
Any ideas are greatly appreciated and welcomed. Thanks community!

I had your issue happen to me last week. I tried everything to fix it and nothing worked. I ended up flashing back to stock. Started flashing again using TWRP with no problems.
Here is where I got info to go back to stock. Go to android development and scroll down to (Guide) No-wipe factory image by open1your1eyes and follow as instructed. Happy flashing bud!

Whelp... I got that other recovery on there, but now I can't boot or anything. No ROM works
I think I tried everything, but it looks like I'll need to get Odin involved and go from there. Its too bad that the cwm recovery can't restore a twrp backup. This sucks. Ugh. First world problems... Anyone got a link for the stock image or whatever I need to push via Odin? Ideas?
Thanks again for your help guys. I do appreciate it and know I'll get up and running again soon.

From DarkMenace's signature, quite a nice resource he has composed. I ran into a similar situation with TWRP and ClearnRom 1.3 last night, ended up using Odin to push the "SCH-I545_MDK_562219_Stock_Restore.tar.md5.gz" in that link. Went back to bone stock, but it's nice to know there is a fallback incase something ever goes awry.

Yes, but there are root files there also.
So then what? Or do I just use Odin to do the whole kernel flashing thing again to gain root? Sorry to sound so noobish, just don't wanna go through this again. Lol
Should I just maybe try that VRUAMDK no wipe .tar?

You use Odin. You can use either file.
Sent from my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 using XDA Premium HD
Yeah I know I use Odin. I guess I should have worded that better.
If I push the .tar you mentioned, I lose root, but some root files will still be there. So my question is... What files and what can I do with them? Or do I just start the whole root process over again as in the first place with those two modified kernels?
The other "no data wipe .tar" file you push with Odin as well, but would you retain root? If so... I would prefer the no wipe .tar, but you know better than me and I greatly appreciate your help and guidance. If the first .tar file is the better way to go and start all over, that's what I'll do. Its almost done downloading anyways, but was just curious about the no wipe and if ya knew anything more about it. I owe you man!
Sent from my GT-P3100 using xda premium
Both files will remove root. You would need to reflash with the kernel files.

Good news is if you can get into download mode then your not bricked. You may have to just Odin the factory image back to stock and you should be fine. Don't panic!

Also might you be able to help me actually get a custom recovery working so i can flash hyperdrive? This was a lot easier with my i9500 back 3 months ago, its killing my head figuring this all out all over again
Also i notice RLS9 on the thread for hyperdrive is downloadable @ 1.7gb. could i just flash this in download mode?

Nope no roms at the moment. Next time do a little bit of reading, it goes a long way. Its been beaten to death literally theres no custom recovery for me7, its been posted atleast a hundred times and its posted in the me7 image thread as well. Check out the safestrap thread in the general section. Hashcode is working on a method for roms/recovery as we speak. After you get your phone fixed and rooted if you choose to do, look into xposed framework and the wanam module.from the play store. You will atleast be able to get some customization out of the stock me7 rom.

Hes not screwed he just has to odin the stock me7 image. The phone is still bootable in fact but everytime he tries to go into recovery its going to throw him into download mode. Back onto topic I would odin one of the stock me7 images so you will atleast have a stock recovery.

I was able to flash a stock image and root it. I'll just wait it out for ME7 to be cracked.

(HELP). Random freeze and reboot.

I got the S3 with Revoulution HD S5 (smartdroid) ROM with boeffla kernel.
Lately ive been getting random freezes just in the middle of doing nothing with my phone, it just freezes and then goes to reboot, while its trying to reboot it bootloops. With that i mean its trying to reboot then screen goes black and then it tries to reboot again.. Then i have to pull the battery out and insert it again and it works (for some time.)
So my question is how can i fix this and what is the problem? Ive read some posts saying that it could be the firmware? Well i have read alot of other posts but never really find any good soulution so please HELP!

i unrooted/went back to stock, then i rooted and flashed a new rom. Everything without a problem. I have only got 1 random reboot so far.. more suggestions??
If it still freezes and reboots on stock then you have bad memory blocks in your nand memory.

Change your Kernel. I am using Revolution S5 without any issue. Better install LiteGX kernel. Do not play with Kernel if your knowledge is less. LiteGX is just a plug & play Kernel.
I got the same issue.
I´m on it. I will try latest official. You should check if your emmc chip is possible broken. Just load the app emmc check and google about "SDS S3"
I´ll post a solution if i can get it solved.
