[Q] Problem Installing Clockwordmod

I just got my g tab today and tried to install clockwork mod following the guide. device detected the recovery key and went into the install screen but immediately rebooted and now when i try to install it doesnt even detect the recovery key. the viewsonic splash screen comes up when i hold power and vol + buttons and then shuts off immediately, but if i try a normal powerup i get the stock UI. I know this is a stupid question but i am new to this so some help would be appreciated.
thanks

[Q] Can anyone help me a bricked Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 2 4G?

Guys, I need help on my Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 2 4G. I had tried to do a factory reset but it looked like it got stuck after several minutes. I turned it off and after that, it i stuck on start-up. The Samsung logo would appear, eventually the green android mascot would appear (where it would look like it is rocketing up) the the samsung logo would appear again, then the green android mascot would appear again, and that would loop over and over again. This happens every time I turn on the phone.
Hooking the phone to the PC will try to install driver, (I have installed a lot of drivers) but it will fail and say unidentified device and the phone drive does not come up on the computer so I can not copy any file to the phone or card.
When I try to go into download mode (Power and Volume down combo) and attach Odin, it will recognize the phone but it gets stuck on Setup connection.
When I try to hold Power + Vol up and vol down combo, it will say ramdump mode cause: force upload
When I do manage to get into CWM with Power and Vol up combo, anything I choose (Romwipe, wipe data, etc) will just get stuck on the clockwork logo (hat and wheel like thing).
I would be very grateful if anyone could help me get my phone back to working.

[Problem] Propably soft bricked my nexus 5

Hi guys,
Today I've decied to upgrade my nexus 5 from 5.0.2 to 5.1 . Wanted to do it quickly ( ofc did a full backu and got it on pc ). But accidently wiped my whole sd card. So i thought "okay i still can do it easly since my pc does have all adb drivers and everythign working properly". So I used thsi feature in TWRP called adb sideload. Tried to sideload this nexus 5 5.1 ROM update.zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/rom-n5-l-developer-preview-t2796003 ) But when it reached 11% it just wouldnt go any further. So I decided to stop it and maybe just adb push my rom file on to my device. So after holding down the power button for 10 secs. it rebooted. But now when I try to press vol down+ power it just reboots back into "google" screen logo same when i hold vol up + power. When I ve tried to hold vol down+ vol up + power it just showed black screen and my windows started to search for QHSUB_BULK drivers. So after he didnt find anything I just rebooted and now I am back on Google logo. Can you help me?
Now i tried once again to enter into recovery mode so I hold down vol down+ vol up + power button and when i turned down i just stoped holding power button and now the phone does not wake up after holding power button.
Okay managed to get it once again back on google logo screen. Now I am just gona wait for you to help me instaed on messing and experimenting around.
Well, people say that you learn on mistakes. I don't. While waiting for the answer here flicked through my old topci ( like 1 year ago ) when I did pretty similar thing to my phone. And the old solution did its work here aswell. So nevermidn my problem. Right now I am in fastboot mode and downloading newest stock images from google site.
Be careful, and update only with google factory images or ota. This is the safest way.

Galaxy Tab 2 - Can't hard reset, can't get into download mode. HELP :(

Hi guys, I have my sisters Galaxy Tab 2 here (GT-P3110), she can't remember the google account info she used so she's completely locked out of it. I've tried holding Vol Up + Power button it doesn't do anything, I've also tried putting it into download mode by holding Vol Down + Power button and still does nothing, it just boots like normal. Can't flash via Kies as connection is locked (due to device being stuck on lock screen).
Anybody shed any light as to how to hard reset this when I can't get into download or the android recovery mode?
Fixed - Managed to get into the boot menu finally.
Okay then change the heading and add solved in bracket,

Bricked S7! Stuck on logo, please help

Hi All,
I recently updated my phone's BL and CP using Odin since I wanted to update my version of Superman rom to the latest. I think I might have done it in the wrong order though? (flashed bootloader before attempting to update firmware)
My phone is now stuck on the Samsung logo with the "Recovery is not seaandroid enforcing" at the top. I can get it to restart by holding the Vol Down + Power button but can't get it into Recovery / Download Mode it just keeps rebooting into the samsung logo!! I tried a quick Vol Down + Power followed by Vol Down + Power + Home but it doesn't work and keeps going back to the samsung logo
Is there any other way I can get this to boot into download mode so that I can flash an older version of the bootloader using odin?

Press (Vol up + Vol down + Power button) and when screen goes off quickly press (Vol down + Home button + Power button). Repeat the process until you see the green screen! It worked for me.

One hour later I got this damn thing into Download Mode!! Phew...
I just kept the Vol Down + Power + Home buttons pressed while it kept rebooting itself (I was letting go of the buttons and pressing them again when I saw the screen turn off which wasn't working)
Not sure why the latest BL bricked my phone?! I've flashed one version before and it's now working again.

If you are using PH* bootloader and trying to root the system, you should only use TWRP 3.0.2.3 and best choice would be SuperSU 2.76.. Glad to hear it booted up at last!
So far I've yet to see someone truly brick an S7 since you'd need to replace the bootloader and it wont even flash a new bootloader until it's fully transfered and verified. So no worries there should always be a way out.
you can always go back to stock via Smartswitch and Rescue option.... all you need is your modelnumber and S/N.....
Phew, just went through the same problem, thanks a lot for help, guys!
