What happens when you try to get into download mode (holding down both volume keys and plugging USB in without pressing power key? )

ok iheld down vol. then plugged in usb,came up with down load screen,but not sure what to do now

Are you familiar with odin
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

yes,i have it on comp.already

phone saya downloading dont turn off target!!!Should sd card and sim card be in phone?because there not.I Thought i did my homework but i was wrong

OK cool. All you need to do then is go to the dev section and find an Odin flashable rom and follow the directions in the thread. What rom were you on when you flashed the Bali kernel?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I don't think it matters if they are in or not
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

just stock with root tibackup pro

Did you have cwm recovery installed that krylon posted in the dev section?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I installed rom manager from market.

Rom manager does not work with the sgs4g. Head over to the dev section and grab an Odin fladhable rom. Follow the directions and your phone will be up and running in no time at all. The kc1 rom will give you a completely clean slate to work with. Reroot then go the krylon360s thread cwm final to get the working recovery. From there you can flash the Bali kernel.

should sd card be in phone?also can i leave phone in download mode while i do this.Thanks i app. all the help ill prob.be up late fixing this.

I don't think it matters if SD is in or not and the only way to Odin is in download mode. With Odin running plug your phone into the computer. You will see a block on the left side of the Odin screen turn yellow. Then place the files in the correct spots. The thread you get the rom from will tell you where they belong. Once they are in place hit start on Odin and let it run its course.

Bricked Skyrocket?

SOLVED!
My device is completely stock, I only rooted the skyrocket.
I really wanted to have the fancy rotation animation for whenever you change the orientation of the phone. To do that, the instructions were to replace two (.so) files in
/system/lib
with two provided from the OP in the thread. When I used ES File Explorer to replace the files, right when I pasted the files the device froze. Naturally I tried soft rebooting and that worked fine. What didn't work fine was trying to get my device to boot back up...
When I press the power button to turn the device on, the first splash screen with the non-glowing Samsung logo showed up normally. My phone then gets stuck on the glowing Samsung logo. It never reaches the rethink possible At&t boot animation. So I thought, a factory reset should do the trick.
I went into the recovery menu and factory reset the phone/ deleted all user data. I tried booting the phone again and it still gets stuck at the glowing Samsung logo.
Help? Do I need to send the device in? Am I covered by the warranty? (I bought it in early December 2011)

Do you have CWM recovery or can you access download mode?

Haha, as always.
That post you linked does not have a ODIN download link. Is there a specific version of ODIN I have to use or is any version fine for Skyrocket?

You can find the Odin version you need in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19223405

Returning phone

So I'm having issues with data dropping on my phone. I've decided its time to take it to the store. I'm rooted with a Rom on here. What do I need to do to check the counter or whatever it is and restore to stock so they don't know I rooted. Thanks
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Odin back to stock.. Search the forum

I still have no clue how to check the flash counter
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Unless you flashed custom software with ODIN your counter should be 0. However, search for triangle away.

Are you sure the data drops are phone related and not ROM related?

I had the issue before I flashed this Rom. I was hoping the Rom would fix it lol.
And I first rooted with Odin not sure if that changes the counter or not besides that I've used recovery to flash

What rom are you running? I had really bad data drops on CM10. I'd try one of the touch wiz roms if you already haven't and possibly try a new modem. Modems are better for different people so there's not really one "best" modem for anyone.

Enter download mode. Power off hold vol down home and power, press vol up when its ask you to continue. Read the small text
Your rom may also have a reboot option to reboot into download mode

[Q] G2x Bricked

I have read lots of post, but could not find any post related to my issue.
After flashing different ROMs and Kernels my G2x wont boot into any ROM.
I have tried "volume up and down", it wont recognize USB.
Only way I know phone is working is that it turns on and boots only into clockworkmode recovery.
Please let me know if you know any fixes for this issue.

It kinda sounds like u may of flashed the kernel. I flashed a ics kernel by mistake on a cm7 rom and it did what you described. I used a process called nvflash.

How did you do NV flash I am not able to connect to pc? Is it possible to run the zip from clockworkmod?
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2

Hey man, could you give us a little more information so we could try to figure out what is causing the issue? First off, did you originally install CWM with NvFlash?
Secondly, what was the latest setup (rom, kernel, gapps, tweak/mods, etc) that you flashed and in what order? Did you accidentally format or delete something you shouldn't have? Do you have the proper drivers installed for the phone to be recognized by your PC? Since you're able to get into CWM, try doing a full wipe and reflashing rom, kernel and gapps. Make sure sure to do a full data factory/reset, wipe both caches, format /system under mounts and storage, and try fixing permissions after flashing.

I believe I had Richie MIUI rom first with Mazout360 gb kernel then then I switched to different kernel. Phone wasn't doing well with any of those kernels so I went into recovery, wiped and flashed different rom. After which my phone didn't boot and was going straight into recovery. I wiped mount data/all of them; mount and unmount /all; used volk nulifier ; used scrub. I did all of that because I was not able to use USB / power volume up and down don't work neither. I don't know what else to do.

Try using a different USB cable and then flash ROM for recovery.

[Q] Cant enter CWM menu..

My phone can enter cwm just from ROM manager but when i try with hold Power + Volume down + Home botton, it doesnt work..
Need help because i got boot loop, my phone stuck on ROM Logo

Need to know what phone you are running. For the s3 unplug the device hold power+volume up+home. Once it boots let go of the power. You should see blue writing in the top left of the screen. Vol down is for Odin. Hope this helps.

Try fastboot again. Pull out battery to power down, and replace it. Press and hold "home" and "power".

Have you ever accessed fastboot, in the past? Some phones do not have it.

I think your phone may be soft bricked.....but just its my own thinking you may try another procedure also.
