I had the same thing happen, redo both part 1 and 2 and you should be good to go.
In SamFailV1, i got the first set of files to FAIL. The 2nd set of files PASSED and device rebooted. Now it's bootlooping at your fancy boot screen. Is there a fix for this or start over with the Official Firmware Files?
Same thing with the guy above, rerun through both set of steps again - after I went through the 2nd time I'm in the system.
Quoted the wrong person, sorry.

Tried 4 times and no luck still getting the blue screen with android .
If i’m Going back to stock after failing to get SamFail V2 install, i have use a Firmware with the updated bootloader right ? .
What was the issue?

I think ur stuck with u2 now. I believe You can go up to s2 and keep root ability but someone else will have to chime in to confirm

I had to flash my csc while doing the first go at Odin not the second like I was told and I switched cords
Thanks for your help
I wonder if it was the cord/usb 3/com port selection. I have had issues with certain com ports in the past when trying Odin. Only reason I'm curious is cuz I flashed csc in step 2 and it worked fine.
I'm on MetroPCS (TMK) and I will always get the boot loop on the screen you are talking about unless I flash the Unlocked (XAA) CSC
Would be greatful if someone can posit the CSC for AT&T or whatever CSC works . Where i’m at now i wouldn’t be able to download the entire firmware .
Oh if you are on ATT then you also need to flash userdata to get other functions to work. Look back a few pages on this thread.
I really want to rooty phone but I don't know how the 80% battery charging will affect me... The temptation lol
Yeah, thanks , i already have that link and was waiting to get home tonight to download it because it seems to the entire firmware .
I find my battery life better with 80% and a bunch of debloating vs Stock at 100%. But again. No one here cares to hear that., please refrain from further posting about similar issues.
It's a known issue. As said countless times. Don't like it then don't root.
Didn't meant to complain, it was more of think your loud with my thumbs type of thing. I know, makes no sense.
I'm on Xfinity Mobile and my phone it's pretty debloated. I'm looking for the right build and I think I'll give it a shot. Worse case I'll flash stock agajn

I'm going to try it out tonight, hopefully it works for me as well as it did for you.
Which Xfinity Mobile features you're talking about? Visual voicemail?
