[Q] Hung on ODIN, can't do anything?

Was following the instuctions here to flash back to stock to do the OTA update on my note which is already rooted with CWM, and when I rebooted into odin (step 3), it booted up to a screen saying "Downloading..." and it's been stuck here for about two hours now. I can't seem to reboot it or power off, what the heck do I do?

/facepalm I apparently hadn't held that down long enough. Thanks, that got it back and booted up, now the question is what went wrong so I can get this flashed?

Did you reflash the stock recovery through ODIN? After doing that you then can flash the OTA, then reflash cwm and supersu...

I have a simylar problème ( dont boot I keep on samsung logo flashing), I try flash a stock rom, always the same, and no recovery mode, just download mode, where found the stock recovery ?

That means the bootloader is NOT unlocked, you just have a custom rom, or you rooted the device.

some of craziest stuff happen this morning, I took all my cards and started my phone lock pad still there, So i put all my cards back in ( Sd card and micro mini) everything and restarted the phone in BOOM that damn lock pad was gone. I restarted a couple times to make sure and yes it was gone. So this hopes it helps

[Q] Downgrade android version and recovery problems

Hello,
I tried downgrading my phone with Odin, but when my phone goes in recovery mode, it shows this image and Odin does not detect my phone.

}
Whats more is that the only way I can get out of this recovery mode is by doing a factory reset. If I take out the battery, plug it back in and turn it back on, it will always boot back into recovery mode.
Any help?

I smell some mistake here. Odin is to be used only in download mode AFAIK.
Hit thanks rather than typing it now Free

Oh, well I tried using download mode but Odin could not detect my phone either.
So how can I downgrade my phone?

[Help]Optimus 3D always restarting when shutting down.

When I try to turn off my Optimus 3D P920, it always restarts instead of shutting down.
I try to shut down either by holding the power button and selecting Power off from the menu, or using an app like Quick Boot. Always restarting.
This happened after upgrading from official 2.3.5 to official ICS.
One thing I noticed after the upgrade: immediately after the phone turns on, the LG logo changed(the one that appeares before the bootanimation). Before the upgrade it was red like in this image

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, when the phone boots, it looks like fastboot
The only way I managed to actually turn the phone off is to enter TWRP recovery and select Shutdown from there.
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you!

I just found out that this is a bug of using non-stock(wkpark's) bootloader. Finally found a way to flash stock bootloader/recovery using this tool - http://d-h.st/24C
The downside is that i lost TWRP. Well, I made a backup before, and if I ever need recovery I will reflash it. I prefer being able to turn the phone off normally.
P.S. The phone still has the fastboot look when it boots, it doesn't really bother me though, it might just be the way it is after ICS upgrade.

ADB Sideload not working for me

Despite all the good posts on here I have been unable to get my phone out of a boot loop, and am now quite desperate for help please!
If anyone can point me in the direction of a rom or kernel that will definitively work on my phone I will be eternally grateful
It was ok until I decided to unlock bootloader and root it.
Unlock bootloader went well, as did flashing TWRP and also CWM – I have a suspicion that it was rooting with OneClickRoot caused the problem.
After over a day of failure I discovered how to do ADB Sideload at this thread: I used CM11 I got from this thread: and also tried a Stock one from here:
sadly nothing worked, and I'm now afraid of filling my phone storage with large files. I have added some screen shots of my failed attempts with TWRP & CWM
they both fail, and TWRP does warn me not to reboot as I have no OS installed, but I had to keep on trying.
Another weird thing is that I cannot always reboot to recovery from the Hboot screen and have to re-flash a recovery image each time.
