This is very simple and works like a charm. I will show you two things.
How to put your phone in recovery mode and how to put your phone into download mode. This is for the i727 Skyrocket from AT&T, probably works with a lot of other phones as well. Follow my instructions exactly.
To put your i727 Skyrocket phone in recovery mode.
1 ) Turn your phone off. Power it off.
2 ) At the same time, press and hold volume up and down and power at the same time. Your phone will come on.
3 ) Keep holding even after the vibration.
4 ) When you see the first SAMSUNG white text, let go of the buttons.
BUT WHAT IF I’M/YOU’RE TRYING TO GET TO CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY?
1 ) Before the above you should have downloaded ROM Manager from the Android Market and Flashed ClcockworkMod REcovery. When it ask you what version you should select “Samsung T-Mobile GalaxyS2.” I know it says T-Mobile but select it anyways.
2 ) From Rom Manager you can select Reboot into Recovery OR you can turn your phone off and follow my previous top instructions.
———————
To put your i727 Skyrocket phone in download mode. (This is typically done to flash back to stock if you bricked your phone or are getting excessive errors)
1 ) Turn your phone off. Power it off. Set your phone down.
2 ) Take your USB cable and plug it into the computer/laptop ONLY.
3 ) This requires both hands. Pick up your phone and hold down the volume up and down at the same time then plug in the USB to your phone with the other hand.
4 ) Keep holding the volume up and down buttons. The phone will vibrate, still hand and when you see Download mode. Let go.
CONGRATS.
BUT WHAT IF I/YOU WANTS TO FLASH THE STOCK AT&T ROM BECAUSE OUR PHONE IS MESSED UP.
5 ) Download the stock from HERE
AT&T user select the Download Stock TAR for SGH-I727
Rogers user select the Download Stock TAR for SGH-I727R.
6 ) Extracted the above TAR file.
7 ) Open Odin 1.85, run Odin3+v1.85.exe or Odin.
8 ) Odin will recognize your phone if there’s a yellow box.
9 ) In Odin select PDA and find the TAR file you downloaded.
10 ) Make sure Re-Partition is UNCHECKED. It should be by default.
11 ) Click Start
12 ) CONGRATS your phone will be back to stock like you bought it from the store.

Hi,
Mine is not working. I updated to touch CMW and no power combo. I never had this issue with Captivate.
Any idea aside from install other CMW?

Clockwork has already put the AT&T version in.:good:
hey man great write up. You may want to add to the op that for rogers version to get to download mode you only hold vol. down not both vol. buttons. Other than that same steps apply.

Is your phone a Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE Skyrocket SGH-I727 ??
No. You are in the incorrect forum. If you use anything from here is will not work and anything you flash may brick your phone. You need to find the proper info for your phone, which is not here. Try google or the search feature.

You lose cwm. The backups will still be there. But you'll need to put cwm back on to use them.

I thought that was the case if you had the backups on an SD card, does reflashing to stock not erase the internal ones?
please help !! i have tried to update the kernel and my phone was bricked.
i have tried to back to stock, everything is fine until odin said PASS! then the phone dosen't start in recovery mode , but he says Samsung Virant and he stay like that !

What phone do you have exactly? This forum is for the Galaxy S 4G, not the Vibrant. Also, what did you try to flash with ODIN?

Sounds like you tried to put a Vibrant ROM on it, though, which is why it goofed. Can you get it into download mode by:
Power off the phone
Plug in the USB cable to the phone and computer
Hold down the volume up & volume down keys at the same time
Press and release the power button
Press the volume up button to get into download mode
or
Power off the phone
Remove the battery
Plug in the USB cable to the phone and computer
Hold down the volume up & volume down keys at the same time
Insert the battery while holding those keys
Press the volume up button to get into download mode
yes i can get into download mode , can yuou give me the right stock

Yeah, give this one from Whitehawkx a shot if you want the original Froyo KD1 ROM. If you want the latest Gingerbread 2.3.6, use this one from RaverX3X.
Both are flashed via ODIN & both contain the proper boot loaders. Let me know if you need any help with that.
Thanks ,, with Froyo KD1 how can i add the "Modded 3e Recovery"

No worries, I hope you get it going again. If you're wanting the CWM recovery for Froyo I would suggest krylon360's [RECOVERY]CWM FINAL for the SGS4G - FROYO ONLY.
Another way would be to flash a kernel that has it built in. I believe the Bali kernel has it built in. Check out the [REF]{BIBLE} Galaxy S 4G (12/25/11) <10:00pm cst>. It has a lot of information and links that can help you out.
i tried to flash it with odin he says FAIL! several times
You have to get the phone into download mode first. You can do that a few ways and here are a couple:
Power off the phone
Plug in the USB cable to the phone and computer
Hold down the volume up & volume down keys at the same time
Press and release the power button
Press the volume up button to get into download mode
or
Power off the phone
Remove the battery
Plug in the USB cable to the phone and computer
Hold down the volume up & volume down keys at the same time
Insert the battery while holding those keys
Press the volume up button to get into download mode
Once it's in download mode & ODIN sees it, you should be able to flash.
Note the download is a .rar file, which is an archive. You'll need to un-rar it (I think 7Zip does this and there are other un-rar utilites) then put the un-archived file in the PDA section of ODIN and it should work.
it's exactly what i do , >>> FAIL! he stop in MODEM step

Can you copy & paste the whole log here? It's possible it's a bad download, too. Maybe re-download the file and try again.

Thanks for the log. Interesting. What version of ODIN are you using? I recommend 1.85 as I think it's the latest available. Also, re-download the file to make sure it's a good file.
Keep Odin open on the computer, keep the usb cable plugged into the computer
Pull out your battery and usb cable from the phone
Put the battery back in
Hold vol + and -, keep holding them.
Plug the usb cable into the phone.
Try flashing with Odin again once it detects your phone.
i downloaded odin 1.85 and i redownloaded the file but the same result .
when i try the stock (samsung vibrant) odin work , but he diden't boot in recovery mode , so it's blocked in the first screen ' samsung vibrant"
Pull out the battery on the phone and copy down everything it says on the white sticker and post it here.
he dosen't show anything

I think FB is trying to verify the model of the phone you have. Beneath the battery is a white sticker that should show you the model number and other information. Does the model number show SGH-T959V?
sorry i haven't understood you , yes the model is SGH-T959V ,
i think the problem is the file isn't the right one for my phone .
Hello all .
I've been lurking around for sometime and here I am asking for help . Here fow the story goes . A friend of mine had his nexus s stock/no root and to the last update given OTA in Greece I suppose 4.0.4 . Once , he woke up and the phone stuck on the google logo .The broken screen has nothing to do beacuse it worled like that for several months .
If battery is taken off and put in again it will start with the on/off button and will stuck on the logo . Then it won't shut down with the on off button and will stay on untill it runs out of juice . No side or touch buttons do anything . I have a rooted slimkat i9023 so he sent it to me . First thing tried to do was get to fastboot .No luck . It will go on and stick to the logo . The side buttons seem tight although I can't be sure if a contact inside broke . In a desperate attempt to fic that I ordered a usb jig I saw on youtube which I thought could get the phone running and with Odin I would try to reinstall a stock ROM . As I read in another thread ODIN is proprietary for samsung and fastboot is more or less the same google application . I tried the jig to my nexus to see what happens and the phone got to download mode . I started the bricked one with the jig and got that image yu see on the left asking about the bootloader . I can't go any further beacause there is nothing to select no buttons work and do anything . It sticks there . I thought it could be in download mode already so I connected to ODIN . Upon connection the :0 COM:4 lights up meaning I suppose there is some communication . Thought I should try it . Found a guide about odin , followed the steps and got a stock ICS rom for i9023 ] the 4.1.2 (JZO54K) . When I unzip the downloaded file it has no tar or mda files . It contains another zip called "image-soju-jzo54k" and some other files (flash.all radio e.t,c) .Nothing like what the guide (tar& MD5) suggests . I tried at that state , with the phone showing the lock to run fastboot devices and , of course , nothing turns out . As if no phone is connected . Can Odin be used or do I forget about .Can the phone be saved or has it met his master ? Anything else I can try .Thank you in advance .

Seems like what you downloaded is a factory image. This image can only be used in fastboot mode.
If you can go to fastboot mode and get the phone recognized then there are lots of guides to use that file.
OR
If you want to try Download mode then here is a guide that you can try: http://sexynexus.blogspot.in/2012/06/flashing-with-odin-i9023-and-i9020t.html
Let me know if you need any other help.

Thanks . I'll try it as soon as possible . Fastboot is out of the question , the buttons don't respond . I'll try download mode . Could you plain explain what "volume+ and volume-" means ? Switch off normaly , start and press both volume buttons ? What is the exact procedure ?

Power down your Nexus S and put it into “Download Mode” by holding Volume Up and Volume Down, and then clicking the Power button.
And then follow the steps in the link. Also, tell me what happens if you try this guide: http://www.droidviews.com/nexus-s-guide-flash-android-4-1-2-jzo54k-factory-image/
Try any of them first and then tell me.

It's ' me again . I tried getting the phone to download mode with no luck . But if in general the S can get to download mode just with buttons it's weird I can't find a single video in youtube . The only video I came up with is "Nexus S: Come entrare in download mode con USB Jig" but he uses a jig . Maybe that works with the galaxy series . I also tried holding vol buttons down and starting my nexus , but it will boot normally . Either way I gave odin a go using the jig , nicely downloaded and extracted all necessary files . COM4 turns yellow upon usb connection . Hit start .

New thing is that in "Unlock Bootloader" image you see as an attachment in the first post ,showing on the corrupted phone , now I see with red letters over the two usb lines " KA3...New eMMC Support Fail
As for the other guide "Nexus s Guide" you proposed , as I said in the first place , the phone will not get to fastboot . If it did I would have flashed a stock rom and mail it back . Starting with vol Up only leads to the google logo for eternity . Found some other posts regarding KA3 failure and it's probably hardware failure . By the way I found someone else experiecing the same problem , or at least similar .Just google "ka3 new emmc support fail" and you will find a post in GSM Arena .I would post the link but the system won't let me in the end . Anyway your help is much appreciated and unless someone else has something else to suggest I think it's time to let the phone go and grab its battery .
It all started with me flashing a new rom. Okay, i was vaguely knowing what i was doing and it went without any problems. After that i noticed it had come with magisk, so I checked out magisk as i had never used it before. Got myself the uninstall zip in case anything went sideways and installed a module, then rebooted. Bad idea. The module apparently wasn't compatible with my device or my installation or whatever , making my phone get stuck while booting (at the SAMSUNG symbol). Okay, that's really bad, but i do know that you can get into download mode from here, so that's what i did. And no, i can't boot into recovery mode. Tried to get there every step of the way and it just doesn't want to work. Even
Code:
adb reboot recovery
doesn't want to work, which is quite depressing.
Eventually got hold of a stock .tar.md5, tried to flash it, bam.

Hi,
I have the same issue last week!
Your phone it's just FINE ! You only mess up "the original recovery and must be redone properly"!
For a fresh & clean install, you need (I recommend you to use the files from the LINKs provided):
- the latest TRWP Recovery - LINK
- the latest firmware (Nougat) - LINK and "hidden file" - LINK
- or a custom ROM for your S6 version - LINK.
To resolve, do the following:
1. Open Odin and uncheck "Auto Reboot";
2. Enter in Downloading Mode (home + vol DW + power button) on your S6 and connect to PC;
3. Flash in AP Odin the latest TRWP Recovery (don't close the Odin program);
4. Press "Reset" on Odin, disconnect the phone from your PC and enter again in Downloading Mode (home + vol DW + power button) and reconnect to PC;
5. Check "Auto Reboot" on Odin and flash again the TRWP Recovery in AP Odin (the phone will reboot);
6. When the phone reboot, by pressing continuously "home + vol UP + power button", enter in Recovery Mode;
7. In TRWP you must wipe everything (Dalvik, System, Data, Cache etc) including "Format Data" <<< it's mandatory;
8. Restart the phone and enter again in Recovery Mode by pressing continuously "home + vol UP + power button" and wipe again Dalvik, System, Data, Cache etc and "Format Data" - just to be sure ;
9. Download a custom ROM, copy to your phone and install it normally in TRWP.
After you done the first 8 steps and if you want to flash the latest original firmware (Nougat), do the following:
10. Donwload the original firmware and rename it in "xxxxxxx_xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxx_HOME.tar" (i mean, delete ".md5" from the end of the name);
11. Extract "hidden.img" file from original firmware and copy to your PC and rename it in "hidden.img.tar";
12. Enter in Downloading Mode (home + vol DW + power button) and on Odin, uncheck "Auto Reboot";
13. Flash the original firmware in AP Odin;
14. Don't close the Odin program but now check "Auto Reboot" on Odin;
15. Press "Reset" on Odin, disconnect the phone from your PC and enter again in Downloading Mode (home + vol DW + power button) and reconnect to PC (on Odin "Auto Reboot" must be checked);
6. Flash "hidden.img.tar" in AP Odin;
7. The phone reboot automatically and you will have the original firmware.

Still doesn't want to boot into recovery. It's just stuck at boot and the only thing i can actually boot into is the download mode. As for the original firmware, I've tried that but apparently I got hold of the wrong version or something. Currently downloading what I assume is the right one from rapidgator at a whopping 50~KBps, so that'll take another 4 hours. Thanks for trying to help though, I appreciate it.
EDIT: Leaving it on overnight drained the battery. I'm now trying to cheese my way into recovery mode by just holding down volume UP + home + power when it's drained but apparently it's too drained and doesn't start at all. Maybe i can get it to the point where it'll automatically turn off but I still have a % of battery life left?

Read carefully again my post ! All you have to do is to follow my steps accordingly! I gave you the links for all the files you need!
Download SmartSwitch or Samsung Kies, put your phone in Download Mode, and start Emergency Software Recovery in SmartSwitch or Kies.

Samsung SmartSwitch tells me my device is unsupported. It also doesn't appear in the "List of devices requiring emergency recovery" in either piece of software.

Open Kies, go to Tools/Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation
Enter your Model name in following format "SM-G920x"
Then enter your Serial Number (you can find it on the back of your phone)
Confirm everything that pops up.

There's probably no way I'm going to get the serial number seeing as i can't just open the back of the phone and i don't know where the box is that it came in.

It should be written at the bottom of the back cover, not behind it. (At least that's the case with EU models)
If that's not the case with your phone and you don't have the original box then you can try this:
Hold the power, home, and volume down buttons until the warning screen appears. Then press the home button.

It was suppose to give you your S/N. But i guess that doesn't work on your device.
You must find your S/N somehow, i don't think there is other way to restore your phone.

Doesn't seem to work, pressing home just puts me into download mode and I believe I remember throwing the box away like a moron. There's nothing on/under the glass on the back either. I guess i'll have to try out the other stock firmware images i'm still downloading.

If you gonna flash Nougat, just dont flash XEF and go for CYV
CYV got newest Changelist than XEF, that has many bugs!

Men, mine too! My 920F was in the same situation!
If you follow the steps i wrote, it work! None of this program will repair your phone "SmartSwitch", "Kies" etc.
Believe me, i tried all possibilities ! You must repair your recovery. Otherwise, nothing you can do!
Flash provided TWRP Recovery in AP on ODIN (first, with uncheck Auto Reboot and second with Auto Reboot check) and when your phone reboot, still press on home + vol UP + power button and enter in recovery. After that, wipe everything + FORMAT DATA and will be OK!
Okay, I'm pretty sure it's working now. It booted into TWRP, I made it install my custom ROM. Basically, it's working. To detail the steps in between...:
I downloaded stock firmware from a different site. No I'm not going to tell you the site, but it's pretty high in the google search results. Practically unavoidable.
I finally installed that after an ~8-9 hour download from rapidgator (Look, i know some of you out there are trying to make money by uploading content to these sites, but 8 hours is just ridiculous).
It failed at hidden.img.tar.
I installed the hidden.img.tar by first opening the firmware as an archive, then extracting hidden.img, then renaming it to hidden.img.tar as dinamo1975 described.
It eventually booted properly, then somehow it turned into a boot loop.
I went into download mode again and flashed TWRP from https://twrp.me/.
I made it boot into TWRP and installed a custom ROM.
Now the phone boots without problems and is back up and running.
Three things I've learned from this:
- ALWAYS have stock firmware ready. Stock firmware that matches your device. Google is your best friend here.
- Certain magisk modules can get your device stuck depending on your build. Be CAREFUL. If you're not sure if something is going to work, don't attempt to make it work.
- That last part goes for everything with electronics. If you're unsure if something is going to work, just stop right there, please.
EDIT: Is there any way to close this thread?
EDITEDIT: Nope this is bad. Stuck in a boot loop (boots up right to the OS up to where i have to provide my SIM pin, then restarts immediately) and it doesn't recognize my battery. Seen as 0% and TWRP doesn't even show a percentage. Could it be that I've gotten the wrong firmware yet again?
My S6 suddely stopped working normally and gets stuck at the samsung logo. It was running with stock firmware, it was rooted and running very stable. (KNOX counter is tripped by doing that). Never had a sudden restart. I was running tomtom Go on it and during driving it happened. At home, I tried everything listed in the forums but without success.
I can run the recovery function from kies or smart switch via download mode, but after that, it does not get past samsung logo, and there is no way to enter recovery mode, no matter what key's I press during reboot.
Also, it seems it is not charging. Since I cannot switch off the phone (keys are not working), I can wait until it runs out of juice. When I connect a cable, or put in on a wireless charger, the samsung logo appears again and does not disappear. Unless I let it die, or unless I enter download mode.
When I disconnect my S6 from the cable, it stops very soon, so it seems the battery does not charge. Is there any suggestion to either enter recovery mode or to proof the battery is dead.

thx, I tried to get stock recovery and twrp recovery by Odin, both does not help. Also charging does not work: when I leave it on the charger for a full night (with Samsung screen on), it will switch off within 5 minutes. So it does charge only a bit.
i had a something like this happen, try this with the cable connected and charging hold volume down and power and menu button all at the same time until the logo hopefully goes of then let go of the buttons ( not the phone ) wait about 20 seconds to make sure the phone does not come back on and then press the volume up, power and menu buttons and keep holding till you see recover start
let me know if that helps
you can try to charge device when it in download mode

no, it always jumps back to Samsung logo. Also when I press the volume up/power/menu during restart it always gets back to the logo
Try do access download mode, reflashed the fw
After that it was fixed for me.
