Stuck on samsung screen

I was using cm7 but did not like the theme so I was switching to MIUI and followed steps but now my phone is stuck on the samsung screen. I try to go into recovery and nothing happens. Do I use odin for this? or is there something else I can do?

miui specific:
1. Place MIUI-Infuse.zip on internal SD card
2. Reboot into CWM
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe Dalvik Cache
5. Flash MIUI-Infuse.zip
If your phone doesn't boot:
1. Pull battery and put back in
2. Hold volume up, volume down, and power button
3. let go of power button as soon as you see samsung text
4. wait til blue cwm shows
5. Flash MIUI-Infuse-1.*.*.zip again
6. Enjoy!!

haha yea I did all of that and I was still stuck, I ended up using odin and trying again and it worked

[Q] Samsung Galaxy SII won't reboot after root attempt.. plz help

My brother brought his samsung Galaxy SII and he decided to give it to me.

he had his connection by Yes Optus. Yesterday i Tried to root my phone using Odin.
everything worked fine. I used the following steps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683800
Odin showed PASS sign and my phone tried to reboot but it showed the startup screen with a yellow triangle beneath. And then nothing has happened since. please help me and tell what did i do wrong?

I was playing around with my Galaxy S II (SGH-T989) and somehow, it wouldn't boot for me. I decided to reroot the phone using Odin to install the recovery. Then I used recovery to wipe everything using Darkside's super wipe. Then I reinstalled SuperUser and reinstalled my rom and it worked.

Download Odin.
Download a recovery image (I like Clockwork Mod)
Download SuperUser.
Download ROM.
Download Darkside Super Wipe.
Put the SuperUser, Darkside Super Wipe, and ROM files into your sd card.
Turn phone off.
Hold V+ and V-.
Plug phone into computer.
When in Odin Download, click V+.
Run Odin.
Click 'PDA' and look for your recovery file. It should be a .tar file.
Then click 'Start'.
Once done, your phone should reboot automatically.
Shut off phone and unplug from computer.
Put your phone into Recovery mode by holding V+, V- and power.
In recovery, select "Install ZIP from SDCard", locate and install the SuperUser file.
Then install Darkside Super Wipe.
Next wipe cache partition, wipe data/factory reset, and wipe dalvik cache (in advanced).
Last install ROM and reboot.
Simple?

Hey,
Good to see you got your answer.
Just for future reference, you may want to put this in the GS3 Forums themselves as that is where GS3 Threads belong.
Thanks

Another boot loop

Tried to change roms and somewhere in the process it got to the Samungs logo and wouldn't continue. I've tried changing recoveries and roms with the same results. I even tried CynagenMod rom and it just changes the logos of the boot screen. I can get into recovery and into download mode. Anyone have any ideas? I'm running out.
Please help!

I have this same problem
I have the N8013 version.
Installed a rom then tried to revert back to previous rom. and got stuck on the SAMSUNG logo. Can get into Download mode, and Recovery Mode.,,but nothing helps. I have tried several methods:
1. ODIN- CWM and TWRP recoveries, and a number of stock and custom roms floating around the troubleshoot forum...got" PASS" on the ODin after attempting to install stock tar images but tablet still gets stuck at SAMSUNG
2. Sideloads of zip files..I get 2 different errors that after doing research seem common on the websites. I suggested to use touchwin recovery instead of CWM, CWM gave another error. .Long story short sideloading is not working either.
Any thoughts, suggestions...help please!

Thanks for the reply....
I tried what you suggested:
wiped data/factory reset
wiped cache
wiped dalvik cache
Then installed the following tar file: N8013RootInjectedSystem from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831152&page=4
Got stuck on the Samsung screen.
From my experience you wipe before installing the rom.. Correct?

I installed: CF-Auto-Root-p4notewifi-p4notewifiue-gtn8013.tar.md5 via Odin, the process passed, and tablet booted into stock recovery.
Did a factory reset from stock recovery and attempted to reboot, but still got stuck at the Samsung logo.
Any suggestions of how to proceed from here?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I do have 2 backups but they are on my external microsd,and will not load in stock recovery...not even able to access my micro sd from custom recoveries.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

Fixed following these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108145
The noteable suggestion seemed to be to format everything except external memory...
the only problem is now i am unable to view microsd....but i am happy happy happy
let me know if this works
HOW TO FIX A STUCK BOOT SCREEN ON GALAXY NOTE 10.1 N8013 4.1.2
1.) Download ODIN (just google it)
2.) FLASH ClockworkMOD (CWM) using ODIN to Device (just google it)
A.) Before pressing "START" Uncheck all options ( Auto-reboot, F-reset (re-partition should already be unchecked etc) Just hold the power button device to reset, it will reset on it's own upon start up
4.) Download Firmware Hotfile Linked By the Beautiful Samir who commented on this thread (just search for him). Make sure that fireware is designated for your particular device. No Samsung SIII firmware for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.
A.) Use the "Save to" Option not the "Open With" option...It's just better
5.) Enter Recovery Mode (CWM Mode) on device using the Power + Volume UP key
6.) Factory Reset Wipe
7.) Wipe Cache
8.) Advance Settings - Clear Davlink Cache & Fix Permissions
9.) Mounts & Storage - Format all except your external SD card (be careful and watch what your doing don;t want to delete anything else by mistake..cause you will be really..cough..upset)
A.) be forewarned that after these wipes you won't be able to get past the first Samsung logo screen, it will just remain there on the screen but have no fear it should be fixed when you download the Firmware. KAY. breathe easy.
B.) i mention this because my problem was that i was getting past the first Samsung logo but not past the second one, in the sense that it wasn't even appearing on the screen.
10.) Make sure that your USB drivers for Samsung are working, you can get the driver from Samsung site (Google it) or use KIES (Google it)
A.) if you use KIES i advise you to download it, get the Samsung USB drivers from it, then go to control panel on your desktop and Uninstall it, you can download it again later when your Note is working again but it seems to cause problems with ODIN, better safe than sorry i always say
11.) The Firmware can be a particularly long download, but once it is done and you have extracted it to a folder using WINRAR (remember the name of this folder) make sure that it is saved to your computer then shutdown and restart your computer
12.) Now with your newly restarted computer.........
1.) Open ODIN
2.) Put Samsung Note 10.1 into "Download Mode"
3.) Connect your Note to Computer using USB, it should make the ID:COM turn yellow
4.) Uncheck auto-reboot, F-reset etc
5.) go to PDA and look for the folder that you placed your firmware in :KIES_Blaahblaahblahh_blaah
6.) Press START
7.) you should see a download begin both on device and within ODIN....PASSSSSS (Green Box)
8.) Reset Computer Manually by pressing the power button
9.) turn back on Galaxy Note 10.1 and you should be all set
a.) don't be scared after you turn on your note and you get the Samsung logo and then the little android robot downloading some stuff (that is supposed to happen)

Made it through Step 5, not sure what to do next

Howdy I have a older AT&T Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 SGH-i497 Android 4.2.2
I followed the steps on forum thread Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 Development -->(ODIN + CWM 6 + ROOT + Stock) ATT / TMOBILE Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 {} {SGH-T779} by Childofthehorn
Well I made it through step 5, at least! (Odin displays green “Passed!”)
But the following steps:
6. Backup your existing image
7. Flash SuperSu from SDcard
8. WInning.
here's where I'm at:
(see attached)
strangely there is no button for attachment on the Editor Are attachments allowed on this forum? Peculiar!
Only choices on the Recovery screen are
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
Don't know how to "back up your existing image"
or "Flash SuperSU from SDcard."
(but I do have the SuperSU apk on the SDcard though; do I select "apply update from external storage"?)
How do I know I have root? Odin said "Passed!" in green, but I'm not sure what that entails. -- I don't want to use any of those root checkers on Google Play because they all appear to ad-filled junk.*
Do I have CWM 6 by this process? How can I tell?
Is it possible to upgrade to KitKat? or is the P5113's processor not capable of it (or something else prevents having KitKat)
Not sure what I should do next.
Thanks everyone!

After Odin says Passed did you let the tab reboot to the ROM? If so the ROM probably replaced CWM with stock recovery (stock ROMs tend to do this), so what you need to do is flash the recovery again via Odin, but once it completes immediately reboot to recovery using the key combination, do not let the ROM boot. Once the recovery has loaded it should automatically disable the recovery replacement system in the ROM, and you'll be able to proceed to step 6.

Do you uncheck Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time? With those enabled all Odin said was Reset! in blue.
For the 3rd step:
Childofthehorn says:
3. Open Odin (as administrator) and hit the "PDA" button, remember to uncheck the reset
I assume he means F. Rest Time in the Odin options tab

Seems to reboot immediately after Odin finishes, happens too fast; there's no time to reboot into recovery mode with the power+vol.

Just follow what the instructions said, but uncheck Auto Reboot. Then, once Odin is done, force reboot the tab by holding both power and vol button down for about 10 secs (until it reboots), then release the power button while still holding the vol button.

Device can't start after flashing custom recovery

Like the title says, I recently flashed CWM recovery with odin to my tab 2, after reboot, it stuck on the first thing it displays and nothing works.

I've booted into CWM (thanks to you for telling me), but is there any way to access my data from pc?
I just read the instructions and forgot to do a backup.

You can copy your data from your internal storage to the external sd without pc. Download the Aroma File Manager from here https://www.google.gr/url?sa=t&sour...ggaMAA&usg=AFQjCNEH8YsLeZ9hUCaOmQXRhJ2Yh2eYCA
boot in cwm and install it. Don't worry, it will not install anything, it will just open a file manager.

[UPDATE] I've flashed the ROM and it's up and running now. The issue now is most of the apps can't start/keep crashing.
Maybe because I didn't wipe the data. Thoughts?

You absolutely need to wipe the data and cache and dalvik cache. If you don't do that when flashing a rom you will probably have such or worse problems. (Before flashing you should also wipe system)

you should install twrp recovery and not cwm. cwm is not up to date. for the latest roms you need the latest common twrp
