I tried rooting my brothers phone but after I thought I rooted it and went into recovery the screen looked like there was a bunch of glitter on it. I first rooted it with the SGS II root which is different from the Blaze 4G root because that one has a pit and tar file whereas the SGS II just has the tar file. I wiped the phone twice then rooted it with the correct files but still get the glittery screen. Has anyone else come across this?
Why did you use the s2 root? I can't help, but I would suggest saying sorry to your brother xD unless someone more experienced can help. Do you have clockwork mod recovery on it?

As long as you didn't flash bootloaders from s2 just try and put ur phone in download mode and flash the blaze4g back to stock with Odin
----------------------------------------------
If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol
Yeah I'll try that and no it doesn't have clock work. That's what I was trying to put on there but then I realized the files weren't for the Blaze model and when I tried to get into recovery it showed that glittery screen. I've rooted my phone and installed ROM's many times. I just overlooked this little detail with the files.

This happened last night while I was reverting back to stock from the DarkKnight rom. After returning to stock I was getting the glitter screen when trying to get into recovery and also stuck in a boot loop.
I retried numerous times to go back to stock in ODIN with zero luck, no recovery and stuck in boot loop.
What finally got me out of this loop was to root it again even though it wouldn't boot up, and then load clockwork recovery on. I was then able to get into clockwork and clear cache, dalvik and then factory data/reset. Then I did the return to stock process again in ODIN and everything went back to stock and the phone works fine but ...
I still have the glitter screen for stock recovery though, any suggestions ?

My S2 got into a boot loop after switching battery. Charged the stock battery and put that back.. same. Tried going in recovery using vol-up, vol-up+vol-down, vol-up+vol-down+home, none worked. But could go into download mode using vol-down.
Tried reinstalling a 9100 rooted kernel (that I originally used for rooting few months back).. but now instead of boot loop it freezes on boot logo (Galaxy SII with exclamation). And won't go in download anymore.
Made a jig and successfully went into download mode and cleared the count. Used several kernels with a hope to fix but same. And the recovery still doesn't work.
I assume clearing cache and/or data might fix, but don't know how to do that without getting into recovery.
Please help!
In download mode flash cwm using odi . Reboot into cwm holding volume up and down. Factory reset, format system under mounts and storage and reinstall a different rom
Thanks for the reply!
Can you please provide the link for the correct CWM recovery for SGH-i777 US AT&T Galaxy SII, and confirm if I need to select that as PDA in ODIN?
Thank you!
Never mind.. I got the kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309293 and got into recovery mod.
Hope I should be able to sort it out from here. If not, will have bother you again.
Thanks a lot!
Ive been using the thread to Odin back to stock as im getting a replacement phone in a few days. Followed everything correctly, but Ive been getting a boot loop between the green android guy and the white Samsung startup logos. Redid the process in odin and now im getting "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" when I go to download mode. i know I have a saved Nandroid backup on my SDcard, I just cant get to it. I also have mini Kies installed on my computer if there is a way to fix it thru that. I cant figure out how to get into recovery mode either. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated! Im just trying to get my phone working until my replacement is here.
I did Odin again, but now im stuck in a boot loop between the greenm android guy and the white samsung startup screens.

That's because you had to factory reset and erase all data before flashing to stock. I had the same issue when flashing from dk4 to stock to lf4

This issue only occured when you uncheck Auto reboot in Odin. Try Odin again with Auto reboot checked
If you getting an boot loop, do exactly what I've done in Odin thread
If you get a boot loop All you do is boot in stock recovery and wipe data

Can't go to stock recovery in this case. This issue only occoured when Odin to stock ROM after using/flashing custom ROM that you forgot to format system or clean data. I've run into this problem before
It looks like after all this, Titanium Backup's backup was erased. I do have a Nandroid saved on my SDcard. Is there a way to pull everything from that? When I go to CWM and try to do a Nandroid, it says there isnt anything there. But When I connect to my computer, I can see the saved backup. I have been able to pull a few backed up apps off the Nandroid backup, but only certain ones or it says batch restore failed. Im wonder how it can see the Nandroids, but CWM cant? They're saved on my SDcard.
Is there another way Titanium Backup saves backups that I could possibly get to them? Im really trying to figure this out before my replacement phone gets here in a few days. I did backup everything, Im just having a difficult time restoring after the numerous problems Ive had thanks to Tmobile's "troubleshooting"
What are you currently running? If you are back to stock titanium won't function correctly as you have to be rooted. But since you mentioned cwm I wasn't sure.

Im just on stock but I am rooted. I just dont know where all my backups went after the bootloop and issues with reverting to stock after Tmobilr screwed up my phone trying to figure out why I kept getting "Call Ended" when trying to dial out.
Where is your nandroid backup currently located?
Sent from my SGH-T769 using Tapatalk 2
On my external SDcard/clockwork mod/backup/ whatever the date was.
Seems normal. Not sure why it wouldn't be visible. Sorry I can't be more help.
Sent from my SGH-T769 using Tapatalk 2
In recovery they are visible, but when I go to flash one it says no files found..
I was also stuck in a boot loop after attempting to get my phone back to stock since I got a replacement phone. Followed all of the instructions, but realized although I did a factory reset, I forgot to wipe data. So I simply got CWM through Odin....got into recovery wiped data....rebooted and voila! I'm back to stock no root. It took all of 1 minute to do. Maybe that will work for you too

Thank you for your quick response.I am able to get to recovery mode.and wipe data and factory reset.I got cm10 1117 nightly on my SD card and I install that and my phone is back.then I install jelly bean Google app.I will never try to go back to stock ROM again. this ROM is cm10 1117 nightly is better than stable cm10 for me.I thank all the devs who worked together to bring this your effort is much appreciated.
This is how I get to recovery mode on my Samsung galaxy s blaze.
1.press the vol up + vol down + power button at the same time.
2.as soon as the Samsung logo light up I release power + vol down button but not releasing releasing vol up button but rather press it harder..and there it comes....may be someone might be having the difficulty I had before
Give it a try...

I have searched threads all over XDA similar to this one to ensure it is not a duplicate. Sadly I have not found any so I hope one of you at XDA can help me. I got my Galaxy S3 and rooted it as soon as it was available. Then two days ago I flashed Cynogenmod 10 onto it without a hitch. I liked it a lot but sadly there were some shortcomings so I wanted to reflash stock. This is where I believe I messed up. I looked up some instructions, and gave it a go. When I turned on the phone, the annoying verizon bootup image and sound came on, but my phone goes no further. I have no care about my data, I just want my phone back to stock, could a developer assist me in this?
If so I would be eternally grateful.
Just reboot to recovery (hold home, volume up, and power). Wipe everything and flash again.

Im having a similar issue as the OP. I made a mistake last night and flashed cwm via rom manager and then loaded CM10. Now my phone just bootloops, but I can get into cwm. MY nandroid backup wont load, says "file invalid". I try to get into odin mode but when I hold the volume buttons and the power it just boots into cwm.
Help!

Hello all! Im new here, but have been using alot of the tutorials and mods. I recently decided to move from FROYO to ICS, using several tutorials, but didnt even make it to gingerbread I was using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705260 and at first when I ran odin, all was well, except it wouldnt boot past the ATT splash screen, and it also had the 'rainbow' screen before the samsung loading screen, so i followed this :
2.) I have rainbow distortion in recovery or in the boot animation. How can I get Gingerbread bootloaders to fix this?:
If you have rainbow distortion, you still have Froyo bootloaders. You can download THIS .rar file, extract using 7zip, and flash the tar.md5 package in Odin (use the pda slot). Flashing Gingerbread bootloaders will correct rainbow distortion in recovery and in the boot animation. Only flash these if you are having issues with rainbow distortion, and only if you have had success flashing other, less dangerous items in Odin.
After re flashing with odin, my phone will no longer turn on... at all. Ive tried getting it to go into download mode, tried using the three button recovery, and nothing. Is there anyone that could help with this!? If i cant figure it out, I might not be on the infuse forums much longer... lol
Rainbows only appear on ics or above, so if you saw rainbows, you must have flashed ics.
As the warning said, a failed bootloader flash would leave you with a brick. Did odin stop during the flash or did it say it completed succesfully?
You may try using a jig and see if that forces download mode, but i doubt you will get results from that.

The new bootloader I loaded was supposed to be a gingerbread bootloader, and it said that if I saw the rainbow screen it was becuase i had the froyo bootloader, as quoted above. Ive read in alot of different forums, and ive tried charging it, removing the battery for 10 minutes and trying to get it into d/l mode, but nothing works. I think i may just have to chalk this one up as a very mislead failure. When I used odin, it said it was completed successfully as well... Im pretty sure that the 'gingerbread bootloader' is just a bad file.
As Andros11 said, you might try using a jig, for me it would be worth the $2. price to give it a try. If it does not work there are unbrick services available for about $50.00- not too bad, considering.
Go back to that page DL the one unbrick root 1.1 flash in Odin,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613523
Toto that link DL the cwm with root extras then as soon as you are done flashing the first one reboot for good measure, shut it off go into download mode flash that giving you a cwm recovery, somewhere in that post I seen gingerbread loader a link maybe getting you to them, I flashed to gingerbread bootloaders, forget where I got them off xda, then flash a cm9 rom taking you to ics, somehow in that process my rainbow screen went away and I have not had that problem every since.
I did have a small problem with Odin hanging on do not turn off and it just sits there. I got tired of waiting over five minutes nothing happening, I unplugged it, pulled battery, then when I went to download mode I had that rainbow screen, but not to worry it is still in download mode, with my infuse, I has to toggle the volume button up, after it sets to the first screen then you are in complete DL mode, check Odin to be sure you got that yellow check box to be sure it sees the phone then do the flash again, the BIG TRICK HERE IS, before you maybe find the rainbow screen in DL MODE, after you pull the USB cable pull the battery, replace the battery, then turn on the phone and let it hang up in what ever screen, then pull the battery again to turn it off, replace the battery then go into download mode, and the flash will take off and only be a few minutes. That worked for me more then once. Hope that helps,

Hello,
I had a rooted verizon galaxy s3 (CM10) and I recently got stuck in a boot loop. So I connected to Odin and flashed both MD5 files and the root66.tar file, booted into recovery and tried to do a factory reset.
The problem is my power button won't work in recovery mode, so I can not select anything in the menu. The volume buttons work I just cant select anything.
I've searched all over for 2 days now and I can't find anything about my problem, am I screwed or is there something I haven't thought of yet?
Thanks preemptively for the help.
bump please help
Maybe possible to send commands to phone via adb?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Which recovery you are using? Try twrp which recognises touch so no need of power button to select any option. I think class cwm also has touch based recovery.
Thanks doesn't hurt....
Thanks for the replies, I tried to run adb but just runs a lot of code then closes out. I tried to re-download and the same thing happened.
I was using the stock.vzw.root66.tar and BOOTLOADER_I535VRALF2.... I flashed them many times and nothing has changed it still just gets stuck on the 4G LTE screen. Where would I go about finding the recovery files you mentioned? I'm willing to try anything at this point.
Thanks again for the replies.

If it's stuck at the LTE logo, boot into recovery and factory reset.
Edit: to Odin flash CWM or TWRP, you can find both files in Open1your1eyes0's root thread in the dev section. Use either once you're rooted.

If you just want this to be fixed quickly, you could always flash a Full-wipe rom that contains the bootloader, etc. Then after your back in the stock rom you could always re-unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery , re-root and flash whatever rom you wanted.

Thanks for the replies, I've searched the internet for a full-wipe rom and I cannot seem to find one, can you point me in the right direction?
Also sorry for the delayed response, I actually graduated college yesterday.
EDIT: Now I can't get the phone to boot into download mode or recovery mode, the Samsung logo comes up and the screen goes black. I'm pretty sure my phone is ****ed.
