[Q] Stuck at recovery mode.

I recently got a 4g in replacement for free for my vibrant from tmobile, so I hacked it as soon as I could get the chance, I was running a GB rom and it wasn't running as smooth as I liked so I attempted to go back to stock via hemdall, couldn't get it to work since I never used it before, I tried reading the forum but I just couldn't figure it out, so I tried to odin, my phone freaked out and for about 30 minutes just was a black screen, I was able to get to recovery mode after l several attempts..I am now in recovery and only have to option to reboot, re install, delete all user data, delete all cache, I have tried every trick in the forum to get to download mode, everything I do just goes straight back to recovery, I tried to rename a stock rom to update.zip and flash that through the re install packages and it says signature verification failed..What the heck do I do to get my phone either to odin, and if I do what do I do after odin, I thought I knew but apparently not, secondly if I can get to odin what is my best bet on fixing it? Thanks all who shall help!

There are tons of threads in the Dev section about getting back to stock. With way... you need to get into download mode.

Go to www.android.com, download the software development kit (SDK), install it, only install the 'tools' when it prompts you for what to install.
Once that is done open a command prompt, cd to the "platform-tools" directory where the SDK installed, and issue this command:
adb reboot download

Already did, and just right back to recovery mode..

I'm sure you've tried this, but I have to ask - what happens when you use the options you have in recovery mode?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

It just goes back to recovery..

When you tried using adb to reboot it into download mode, did your computer actually recognize the phone? If so, does ODIN see the phone when you plug it in?

Ok, so ODIN sees it. That's a plus I think. When ODIN sees the phone, what exactly does it show in the "Message" window in the bottom left?
I'm just wondering if it's able to actually flash anything. If it can, we can probably get you fixed.

setup connection

Hmm, I know you said you tried everything, but just to verify, have you removed the battery, held vol up & down, plugged in USB then put the battery back in while still holding the vol keys down?
What about the 1-click Heimdal method? I think that's listed in the dev section.

[Q] Bootloop on Samsung Logo + No Download Mode

Hey community.
Long time lurker, first time poster.
Anyhow, my brother bricked his infuse last night. Apparently he tried to flash an incompatible cwm fw (Nexus S) and rebooted it, and now its stuck at the samsung logo. Secondly, i tried to push it into download mode and it continues to loop. I tried to connect it to Odin and it does not recongize the phone, however it freezes at a picture of a wheel (similar to windows hourglass) and doesnt move from there.
i'm assuming its perm bricked at this point, unless you have suggestions.
Others have mentioned "jig" and "unbrickable mod" although I could not find any details further than the terms.
Any help would be appreciated.

Just checking, have you tried this?:
Remove the battery, and disconnect USB.
Hold, and continue to hold both volume keys.
Continue to hold vol. keys, connect USB.
Insert battery and continue to hold vol. keys for awhile.
That should put you in download mode.

After retrying with 4 different cables, 3 different machines, and 2 different O.S. I finally got the infuse to be found by odin.
Thanks for all the help

Lol next time try heimdale. It for me anyways works first try all the time. I only use Odin when i have to, other then that i always use heimdale. Make sure when you use heimdale plug your phone into another port. Ive figured out that a usb port only recognizes the phone a certain way, as heimdale uses different drivers that you install. On my laptop i have two ports that i do not usually use (one is dedicated to a bluetooth dongle/mouse) so one is set up for odin, the other for heimdale.

Yeah heimdall is the way to go...don't even need drivers...it uses its own special drivers that it will download for you if you don't already have them
Heimdall never fails me...but Odin...well Odin is kinda iffy

This is how i used the hemidall one click to stock here is what I do, below are how i perform using qkster's method...
The USB + Volume Down + Volume Up Method: Download mode (Noticeable by an Android robot digging with a shovel) is reached by taking everything out (Battery, SIM, MicroSD). plug in the USB cable to your computer and phone then putting in battery at the same time Holding the volume buttons both up and down, (Don't press the power button at all in this method).
How to INSTALL:
1. Put your phone into Download Mode.
2. If you have not used Heimdall, you will need to set up the driver for device recognition.
3. Once your device is connected, the DEVICE STATUS should show: CONNECTED. The long FLASH bar will also turn on for flashing.
4. Click on the FLASH button. (In my opinion: I recommend that you do this in a safe environment. Do not disturb your phone will flashing this firmware. Turn off Antivirus. Do not run any other programs, upload/download/youtube/burning DVD etc)
5. Once it has completed, your phone will reboot. You will hopefully see the ATT logo and reboot into STOCK UCLB3.
6. If it did not work, you will have to put it back into DOWNLOAD mode and reflash a second time, with the FLASH BOOTLOADER box checked. This is more likely if you never had proper Gingerbread bootloaders on your phone, if you are coming from FROYO or if you never had Odin a Gingerbread leak to get your bootloaders.
download this file for your one click to stock...and using above directions...
once that is done and you want to put CWM mod on for flashing a custom ROM, same directions to get in to download mod...
download this file to use the one click to put CWM mod on your phone

Then I flash the dark night ICS rom like the op says and it run nice and smooth no lagg so far or any fc really other than when I put S voice onto my phone.. and like I said that Bluetooth, torch, HD video record is choppy, and no hdmi but I really like I just hope they get the flash light sorted out soon I use it all the time!!!

samsung i997 bootloop no bootloader solution
Dear guys i'm not saying this will be everybody's case but in my shop we got two of this phones with the issue mentioned above, in the two cases the issue was caused by faulty power button, so before you format or flash your samsung i997 i'll advice to go to youtube search for a diassemble video for your phone take out the main board and with your tester verify that your power button is working properly. If not try to replace the power button. i have soved the two cases that way.

Try using nvflash to revert back to 2.3.4 I can't give you a link but it's easy to find in the development section

i tried to use nv flash but no matter what i do i cant seem to make my phone register in the usb driver. if i could make it register i would be able to flash it then.

Never mind my last post, you need to be able to boot into a rom to use kdz updater, it's been a while since I had to do this kind of thing.
I'm pretty sure you only soft bricked your phone (i.e. it still turns on) and the only way, that I know of, is to use nvflash. I've had the same problem before, there could be many things that are causing the phone to not be recognized by your computer. Follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17258229
when you plug the usb into your phone make sure the audio on you computer is loud enough for you to hear that "usb recognized" sound. If you don't hear it, or it does not get recognized, try using a different usb port on your computer, believe me that actually worked for me a couple of times. Also, make sure you follow the steps very carefully because if you use the wrong button combination, or release the buttons too early, it won't work.
I wish I could help you more, but that's all i've got.
Good luck, and if by any chance you get it fixed, don't try to root your phone using any root tools, simply nvflash cwm recovery and flash your choice of a custom rom, that will automatically give you root privileges.

every time i look at my apx driver it always tells me to troubleshoot but it always says driver not installed. ive downloaded the same driver in different posts just to make sure but nothing helps. Wireless shops are useless. I live in vegas and there isnt a single store with a person smart enough to figure it out.lol. ive given my phone up for days at a time to shops who brag about "WE CAN FIX ANYTHING" they lied. well i guess im going to search for a few more hours on here to get some kind of lead. thanks for the help. if you kknow anything else or figure something out i would appreciate the help.

Have you tried this stuff?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619932
It sounds to me like your pc's jacked up the driver somehow. Try plugging in the phone with the battery out and holding all 3 buttons, go into your device manager and uninstall all the USB drivers. Then reboot and try following the apx driver installation procedure again.
Sorry if you tried all this stuff a million times already.

I would say the two things that I would focus on would be to first fix the drivers on your computer. I downloaded mine from the LG website. Next is to flash CWM Recovery so you can flash a rooted ROM to your phone. I would go back to the thread where you got the instructions to start flashing and ask the same questions but only after reading the whole thread. There the orig. developer might chime in and you'll have more specific answers focused on your specific issue.
It's true your phone isn't bricked and have patience and you'll get it fixed.

well i have all the drivers needed. and the computer is fine but the phone is not. i mean the pc doesnt quite read the phone right. with that being said i dont know how to flash cwm recovery to a phone my computer cant read. im running windows 7 64bit and all my usb drivers work fine.

CWM = Clockworkmod Recovery (everyone remember this is a newbie).
Important question: Did you do a backup before making any changes to your phone?
Also, try this: remove your phone's battery for 30 seconds. Put the battery back in. Press and hold the volume down button, then press and hold the power button. Hold both buttons. First you'll see the white LG screen, then wait, when you next see the blue LG screen wait ONE second (no longer) then release the buttons. Tell us what the phone does then and what the screen says.

Have you tried taking out your SIM card and micro SD card?
Usually right after I take them out and plug in my phone while holding volume up and volume down... it usually works after that.
Yup, that's my problem. No matter how many USB ports I tried it still wouldn't read it until I took out the SIM card and micro SD ;p.

Try this on for size...

Sounds like you are having the same the issues i was having with my phone why dont you try this..... First you have to flash a custom recovery image for your phone, follow all the procedures exactly then once you have flashed your CWM Recovery ( i. e. Clockworkmod recovery) Once you have installed that properly, you can now flash your new custom ROM and that should help to fully reboot your phone back to recovery for you to start using again....... hope that works for you.......just as it did for me have a good one!!... :fingers-crossed:

well i brought it to two shops and were both unsuccessful. wireless toyz and smart fix. i have it back and it goes to the lg screen. and instead of the second it flashes from black to a very dim gray back and forth. when i hold the power button along with the volume down it does a master reset and i can press the home button then it takes me to a screen to delete cache partition and what not and you move up and down with the volume keys but i cannot select anything. i think i really messed my phone up.

Somehow you got stock recovery. Google for howbto do a master reset, on devices like the nexus tablet at my work there's a series of steps needed to do a full reset/restore. Just booting into stock recovery may not give you the option. As well, please post those screen shots as I said earlier, this way the issue with the USB can be troubleshot and maybe we can get you a fully working phone with CWM.

First off this belongs in the Q&A section and the search button on this site and google work wonders. With that said, rooting gives you the ability to right/alter the system files. See zedomaxs site for instructions on how to root. http://rootgalaxynote.com/. Use the clockworkmod method. Make sure you use the files for your particular model and software. Good luck and happy rooting.

however there are a few questions regarding this
should you instantly move over the files as it is downloading or should you wait untill it is finished?
as in the video he entered the warning unsupported os screen through power plus vol button then it proceeded to something downloading but he then instantly wen't in your pc to move over the files
should you wait for it to finish downloading or whatever it's doing or can you start right away? and what would waiting for it to finish mean how would you know it's finished? what will it show when it's finished
my other question is some say you need to uncheck the auto reboot checkmark as it will otherwise erase it on reboot
so when i open odin should i simply uncheck auto reboot then add the file then press start wait for it to finish
then what? since it won't auto reboot

Wait till the files are done downloading. If your using the clockworkmod method first to make things simple make sure you already have the superuser zip on your sdcard or internal sdcard then flash the cwm recovery through Odin. Yes make sure you uncheck auto reboot because it will automatically reflash stock recovery upon booting up. You will know recovery is done flashing through Odin when you see in green "pass" then you can unplug and boot into recovery right from the download mode. Don't boot into system yet because as stated earlier your kernel will rewrite recovery upon booting into system. Then when you are in recovery choose flash zip from sdcard and find the superuser zip and flash it. It will tell you when its done, you should see zip flashed successful. Then reboot into system. Oh touch screen is a little finicky when you are in recovery so use volume buttons to navigate and power to select

so 1 copy over the file to the tablet either sd card or the tablet itself?
then press the vol down button plus power button to get the warning screen then press vol up to accept
then comes my question can i let it work untill it's finished or should i move instantly to my pc and start odin
so for example
(it's connected to the pc) and it starts downloading showing the do not turn off target i just wait untill it stops doing something then i go to my pc open odin see the yellow com sign uncheck auto reboot press pda select the tar file press start let it work then
then what happens next when it's finished will it just sit there doing nothing since it won't reboot by itself do i need to do this manually?
thankyou

Ok I see what your saying, once your past the warning screen its not actually doing anything. It's waiting for you to run odin
Once Odin is done flashing recovery and you see pass in green you can unplug your tablet and hold volume up and power and it will boot into recovery

seems alot more simple then i thought rooting was
so this is all there is too it?
please note it is a galaxy note 10.1 grey black 3g version bought in sweden

You got it, one note though if you reboot in system without going to cwm recovery first you will have to reflash recovery through Odin.

Just remember to install triangleaway then run it after you have CWM installed... This will reset the flash counter to 0. It will confirm what model of tab you have and download a few files then you can reset your flash counter.
This is needed if you have to return your tab under warranty and also for usage with some apps and hardware...

This is the link for cf root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957002 the easiest and cleanest root method + it flashes back samsungs stock recovery and it contains link for triangle away

Hoss is right, Cf auto root is an easier and faster method and it will save you some work when the jelly bean update is rolled out. You will be able to just accept the OTA update, but you may have to reroot once the process is done. As you can see is not that big of a deal to do anyway. Chainfire gives a good guide to follow for his autoroot. And as also stated above consider using triangle away so you can keep your warranty completely intact.

1. Download the zip from here (bottom of page) and put it somewhere on your SD card.
2. Go to ODIN, click PDA and select the CWM file (here if you don't have it). Make sure you are in PDA, and make sure Bootloader, Phone, and CSC are unchecked. On the left, uncheck auto reboot and F. Reset Time
3. Power off your phone completely and wait about 30 seconds (or pop your battery out and put it back in).
4. While holding volume DOWN on your phone, plug it into your computer. Your phone should be in download mode with a big yellow triangle on the screen. ODIN should recognize your phone and something should show up in one of those ID:COM boxes at the top.
5. Click Start in ODIN.
6. Once ODIN says Pass!, unplug the phone. Hold volume UP, home, and power. the SAMSUNG logo will show up on the screen. Keep holding the buttons. The screen will flicker and SAMSUNG will show up again. Now you can let go of all 3 buttons and CWM will show up.
7. In CWM, go to mounts and storage and mount /system. Go back and then install zip from sd card. Install that zip that you downloaded in step 1. Reboot your phone
8. Go through setup and download Titanium Backup and Root Explorer (or Root Browser if you don't want to pay for it).
9. In Root Explorer/Browser, navigate to /system/etc/. You will have to mount the directory as R/W. I forgot how to do this in Root Browser but in Root Explorer it is at the top of the screen. In Root Browser it might be in settings.
10. Find install-recovery.sh in that directory. Long press it and delete it.
11. Repeat steps 2-5. You can leave auto reboot checked this time, or just manually reboot the phone when ODIN says Pass!
12. In Titanium backup, you can uninstall anything, but be careful.

After Root/Tweaked Rom and Lazarus Kernel Install
Need some assistance
I will try to remember all the steps I took to get the best response.
ODIN - Charge (CWM) Recovery MD5 Installed
UPDATE - SuperSU-v1.25 - Installed in CWM Recovery
Installed Tweaked 3.2 and Charge Lazarus Kernel FP5E Version in CWM Recovery
After root and reboot, Tweaked 3.2 and Lazarus Kernel up and running.
Problems I am trying to resolve:
Super User has some kind of issue with the Bianary, tried running titanium backup to try and fix SU but it didnt open. asked for SU access but the app wouldnt open.
My Files Folder is nowhere to be found
The last issue is after Tweaked was running a verizon update beamed down and after the update downloaded it of course couldnt install on Tweaked Rom. So now there is a update notification hanging around from time to time. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

1. Open the SuperSU app, it should give you a prompt to update binary.
2. My files has been removed as a part of debloat on Tweaked. You can use any file manger you want-most of us recommend Root Explorer.
3. Check "FP5 - FP8 Update Stopper" in the general section.

Hi there, I am hoping you can help point me in the right direction. I am tried running the instructions above, and after applying the CWM package using Odin, I unplugged the phone and held down the Up Vol, Home, and power. I waited until the second Samsung splash screen flashed before letting go. It loads to CWM, but after it does a wipe cache, etc the phone reboots. It then just loads into the phone OS as though it is new. Can you advise on what I am missing?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the response. I am a bit confused as step 6 in the instructions I used above states to wait until the logo appears the second time before releasing the buttons unless if I am misunderstanding. Should I release them as soon as I see it for the first one?

For some reason on the first SAMSUNG if you let it boot it will boot into the OS no matter what you do. As soon as it gets past the SAMSUNG screen it overwrites CWM. You have to hold it long enough so that it reboots while it is in the first SAMSUNG screen, so that it can properly boot to CWM, where you root the phone so that you can delete the overwriting script. It is a pretty annoying cycle.

So should I be holding on to the Up VOL and the home button but releasing the power button as soon as the first logo comes up. Still pretty confused on the timing and what I should be looking for on this. Thanks for your assistance!

Hold all three and wait for the second logo. It will look like it is just blinking off and then back on. Then you can let go of all three buttons.
