[Q] S4 , cant access my recovery or boot normally!

i cannot boot phone into recovery nor can i boot phone normally... I had just installed Viper one S rom on my phone and rebooted into recovery because my wifi wasnt working , so i was just going to revert back to an old rom. After clicking reboot to recovery from Viper rom the screen just went white . I had to power it down manually, after powering it up it would stop at htc screen with the red development lines... tried to go into recovery and it will come up for a second then disapear then phone reboots.... any ideas? oh I also had installed Latest radio in CWM after installing rom.. I hear its buggy in CWM...

I had the same problem. Did you flash the boot.IMG in recovery or fastboot? If you flashed in recovery and its not supported by your hboot version. That could be the issue. Try re flashing the boot.IMG using fastboot. If you still cannot get it to work. I would try reinstalling a custom recovery manually and restarting the Rom flashing process. There are forums all over the place to help with that. Try twrp. Ps this is all assuming you are able to get into your boot loader.

Problem fixed. Don't ask me how lol. All I did was relock boot loader and flash stock ROM. Stock ROM would not load so I just decided to unlocked boot loader and phone rebooted fine. Recover works to.. crazy.

That happened to me when I didn't fast boot flash the boot.IMG file, but only the latest Viper has given me grief with that.

[Q] Bricked ... Boot loop.. Samsung Galaxy SL gt-i9003

My phone galaxy sl gt-i9003 was running was rooted and running on codename(android) when I flash some random kernel and bricked it. I then read though lots of xda-developers threads and followed whatever was said there. It goes into recovery and download mode. So i flashed the stock ROM( which i had downloaded from sammobile ). But after that it got stuck in boot loop. Then I tried flashing a few ROM suggestions given here in xda. But each time I either got back a bricked phone or boot loop problem. Help Please!!!:crying:

since u have screwed your along the way to get boot. you better to flash xxkpe or xxkpq with pit
and repartition is amust cause you are on ext4
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

hmmp, i somehow recover on that situation by re partitioning through odin using pit from I9003DXKB2 stock rom froyo...
then flash a I9003DXKP9 gingerbread through odin also
I9003DXKB2 is my SL's original firmware since i bough it though
but might help you...
i did all those because i want my SL to run CM10 Alpha 4 jelly bean
i downloaded the stock roms from "[ROM] STOCK ROMS for GALAXY SL I9003" thread in the developers section...

yes its better to flash with xxkpe and then with xxkpq... me too experience the same problem...
follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133787
download firmware from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647

Thank you all for replying. I solved the problem. I had forgotten to factory reset after flashing stock rom. Now its as good as new. Also I had this doubt. Is it required that you factory reset after every flash?

When u flash HC.. it will always boot loop.. to fix the boot loop problem.. enter recovery power button + volume up.. the wipe cache and wipe partition.. then the boot loop will be fixed.. then upgrade to ICS or JB whatever you want.. by the way.. dont EVER wipe from a ICS stock recovery.. cause this will brick ur tab.. please remember that.. if u want to wipe from a ICS rom.. install CWM then wipe in the CWM recovery.. JB is faster than ICS

Yes, I would like to know also! I am trying the opposite and trying to upgrade my US version of 4.0.4 to the UK version 4.1.2 which is suppose to work, but I can't seem to get my USB to be recognized when I am in the Download mode - Funny thing, the USB is recognized when directly connecting to my computer (ie MTP) and via Kies, but not in the DL mode or Odin.
But if 4.0.4 is more trouble free than 4.1.2, maybe my problem is a good thing?
Edit: Figured it out - I was in Recovery mode instead of Download mode - oh well, 4.1.2 is a little nicer, with a few more features, not notably faster that I can tell as of yet, but I need to play with it, since all I have done so far is to go through it and make sure things work.
I was hoping for multi-window support and better wifi connectivity, but no joy - maybe better wifi after a few more days?.
Does anyone know if 4.1.2 will allow the tab to support 64gb card? I thought that was one area where 4.1.2 had over 4.0.4

[Q] Stuck in boot after flashing 5.0.1

As the title says, I flashed the factory image (I am rooted). Everything was successful, but I've been stuck in the boot (yellow, red, green, blue dots spinning) for about 45 minutes. Booted back into recovery and it's just an android icon with red exclamation point. What do I do?
Thanks

Did u flashed it using multirom ? What kernel r u using and wich rom ?

I was on TWRP and flashed using fastboot

So u cant access ur recovery dod u tried a toolkit to simply flash a new rom using your pc ?

Wipe cache from recovery. it should boot up afterwards.

Er.. If you flashed factory images, of course your custom recovery gets replaced by stock recovery (the android with the exclamation mark).

did you ever figure this out? I am having the same problem but on a nexus 4

Do a factory reset in the stock recovery

I would boot to fastboot and reflash twrp...then flash a pre-rooted 5.0 rom.
In comparison to a lot of other devices, the N5 is pretty difficult to really screw up.

as you said you have stock recovery img then just download the flashify app from playstore and flash the stock recovery through flashify app and then just download and install the update.. (updating requires stock recovery)

I just lost that recovery img.
ply some 1 upload if possible

will we have kit kat for this phone?
