Few days back I flashed my phone with stock Rom GB using Odin. I only uploaded PDA file ,as I red procedure given on some website. After that it says following and not going to download mod.
Android system recovery <3e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -
Enter: OK Key, Select: Vol UP / Vol Down
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
# Manual Mode#
The only buttons that do anything are the volume/arrow keys. If I press the power button, the Samsung logo shows up, but then it comes back to this screen. Same thing if I take the battery out.
Any ideas what button(s) will let me select one of the options?some one to put me right .thanks
Sounds like you need to put it back into download mode and reflash stock if you are in a recovery loop.
To enter download mode: pull the battery. replace battery. Hold down volume up and volume down simultaneously and connect via USB to your computer.

I've had this happen before. Just use volume up/down to select "wipe data/factory reset" and press the power button. After that, select "reboot system now" and push the power button again. Your phone should be fine. If it doesn't work, you can always try using the Heimdall One-Click in the dev forum to go to stock Gingerbread.

I had installed passion ics custom rom for sgs4g and the phone kept rebooting so i managed to boot the phone in download mode and install the stock rom in odin now phone only boots up in recovery not allowing me into the android rom no matter how many times i reboot. also ive attempted to install other roms i had on my sdcard that worked before through cwm and i get the same problem. If anyone would happen to have a solution or any info on this problem it would be greatly appreciated thank you

Here comes help!
Welcome to the forum, btw
First thing you should do is hold on a little bit.
To solve your problem try to get to download mode (VOL-, HOME, POWER, then after phone turns on, release power) and flash Kyrillos' ROM (FROYO - v9.0) - fire up odin, tick one package, select tar and flash it. AFTER the flashing ends, you should boot up to recovery (CWM recovery for G3MOD kernel). Here, navigate through menu using VOL+, VOL- and navigate to "Wipe data/factory reset" option. Now press HOME button to confirm. Navigate again to Yes, press HOME again and wait till its done.
Now Navigate to "Reboot" or something like that - its the first option in there. Then press HOME again. You should see the phone rebooting and then displaying the bootanimation - it lasts for aprox. 10-20minutes, so don't panic!
If this wont solve your problem, give me more info
- New or used phone - THIS IS ABSOLUTELY IMPORTANT TO KNOW BECAUSE IF YOU HAD NEW, YOU HAD 2.1 FIRMWARE ON IT
- Did you wipe data/factory reset phone
- What else you tried?
- etc, etc...
There will be solution somewhere... I'm sure. But post the result after trying that.
PS: here on xda is a little THANKS button... Use it instead of "THANK YOU" posts. (Just in case you didn't know)

Thank u very much man phone was used but it had 2.1 stock firmware on it, i didnt wipe/ factory reset on phone, and i didnt't tied sthing else.
Now tell me after flashing Kyrillos' rom v9.0 Do I have flash kernel with CWM or its in Kyrillos already? How to enter CWM recovery mode ? Same as normal (VOL +, VOL-, HOME, then POWER) I did thank u cuz it sounds logical what u wrote thank u man and I am waiting for reply.
CWM is pre-installed on Kyrillos rom. To boot into CWM recover just turn the phone on, hold the power button until a menu comes up and in the menu it will say recover. Press recovery to go into recovery mode.

I did flashed kyrillo's v 9.0 and and after flashing phone just stay in boot screen and nothing happends. I cant do anything again. Do root is needed to flash ROM's cuz when my phone crashed it wasnt rooted and now i cant root it cuz computer only see it as Modem and composite device mode ;/ I dont know what to do.

Turn your phone off by pulling the battery out. The put the battery back in but don't turn the phone on. Hold the volume up + volume down + home button + power button and as soon as the screen turns on, let go of the button. This will take you into CWM recovery. Then, in recovery, select wipe data/ factory reset, then wipe cache and then wipe the dalvik cache. These options are all in recovery and are easy to find. Then reboot the phone and it should work. Also you don't need to root your phone to flash a custom ROM.

You probably have confused Samsung galaxy 3 with Samsung galaxy S3 because this phone (Galaxy 3) Hasn't menu that you can boot to recovery/bootloader with. At least I dont know about such "menu" thing.
---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------
----------------------------------------------------------------------- SOLUTION! ---------------------------------------------------------
@KamelusPL: You said that you cant boot after flashing Kyrillo's ROM v9.0. And you had Android 2.1 and you couldn't boot. That means you have been in hurry to get things really fast done and flashed FROYO ROM WITHOUT BOOTLOADERS OVER 2.1 THAT COMES WITH ITS OWN TYPE OF BOOTLOADER = bricked.
HOWEVER, there's a solution! yeah!
This is a bit risky, but if you want your phone working again, you must do that. I'm saying again, I take no responsibility over such things.
1. Put your phone into download mode. This must be working.
2. Download this file: http://hotfile.com/dl/132526357/46bd186/I5800XXJPS_OXX_Android_2.2.rar.html
3. Open odin, tick ONE PACKAGE, in the down right corner click ONE PACKAGE and select .tar file you downloaded. ITS WITH PROPER BOOTLOADERS - FROYO XXJPS. That must work.
4. Click start. NOW DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PC until its done!
5. Wait till its done and wait till your phone boots up.
6. If you will have still bootloop, then you must boot into recovery (YOU MUST WAIT... RECOVERY WONT SHOW IMMEDIATELY just like in download mode... wait man.), here navigate using the same keys I told you before, and select wipe data / factory reset, then select yes and wait till its done. Then, navigate to wipe cache partition, select yes and wait till its done. Then, select reboot system now and press HOME.
7. This should be working!
This menu! Recovery is the second last option and I have a galaxy 3...
Edit: also I would recommend doing what the Guy above said. To boot into download mode you hold volume down + home button and the power button. :thumbup:

Hold vol up+down and power and home button when the phone is off and let go of the power button once you see something on the screen.

Wait, so when you bought your phone yesterday the battery was discharged? So you didn't check if it was working or not before you bought it? Maybe you were scammed into buying a broken phone
--------------------------------
Click thanks if I helped.
Any other way to enter the recovery? I'm afraid not.
Maybe this has somethig to do with flashing CUSTOM FROYO ROM over 2.1. Because Kyrillos' ROM's kernel converts filesystems to other ones than the stock RFS that is used by stock samsung roms. That means the phone after flashing stock rom directly after some custom froyo roms dont recognize the partitions in different filesystems. So you must wipe data and cache partition to get the phone to recognize theese partitions again.
After that, the phone will boot. BUT YOU MUST BOOT IT TO RECOVERY AND WIPE DATA SOMEHOW.
This is really wierd... If you can go to download mode, I'm sure this can still be fixed somehow, but the stock froyo rom should boot into recovery anyways...
Have you tried getting to recovery when you first saw the phone that its not booting? I mean at the beggining of this problem if you had still 2.1 when you got the phone? Because wiping data from recovery on 2.1 should have solved this problem I think...
EDIT: HERE IN XDA IS SOME FILE - zerofill.tar THAT IF YOU FLASH IT, YOU PROBABLY GET WIPED PARTITIONS, but not sure... TRY THAT - I think rkoby13 has posted this file somewhere... Try to PM him...

U have absolutly right that they to solve this is enter recovery mode but i think my problem is deeper i found something on my own. Look.
If your GSII has the folowing symptoms :
Bootloop
Stuck on GSII logo, but already removed the battery to try to fix it
Enters Download mode and Recovery mode
It means that you are soft bricked and is easy to solve.
But if your symptoms are the mentioned above, PLUS the symptoms below
Enters Download mode but does NOT enter recovery mode (usually means a NAND rw corruption)
Doesn't flash
Bad flash in odin (FAIL after flashing, or the flashing suddenly stops)
It looks like I must use all my brain power to solve that i guess i need to go deeper into android stuff cuz i wont give up. I even gave my phone to service but seems like that dude is lame and he is not so much expert like i need i send message to Kyrillos cuz i guess he knows all bout androids and all that stuff and thats the person who i need some1 very good must see my topic guess i will just read learn and w8 for help thank u all for advices
After watching your youtube video I am confused. You try to get in into recovery, but don't even wait 10 seconds before you remove the battery?
Before you start make sure the battery is not empty or even broken. Charge until it reports full.
Battery out for a while, remove charging cable. Then battery in, press Vol+ and Vol-, add Home, then Power, as soon as something appears onscreen let go all three. Then WAIT. What happens?
If it stays on the GT I5800 screen for longer than a minute on a stock Eclair AND stock Froyo (from twinky's advice), you probably have a serious hardware issue. Did this device you bought ever work properly for you? That's important. If you really bought a phone that you never saw working, it's most likely hopelessly dead. If it worked, and showed the reported error after a day, there might be hope.
edit: I had countless bootloops/flash FAILs/tons of FC after 1st boot/corrupted FS... don't give up! As long as download mode is still accessable, it's not dead yet!

Dude u rly think i am so stupid?
Phone was working when i bought it i suspect that some sort of application crashed it( i guess taskkiller), i did tried to take out battery for longer time even 1 day ... And i did tried to hold buttons longer
Its bad flash that has made the situation...
Flash zero fill.tar which will clean your system
Flash again a rom using 'Forced download mode' ( vol+, home, power button)
Note: you should restart your phone by keys when its still on after zero fill flash using the force download keys.

Sorry, I was just telling from the video. But a software like taskkiller cannot mess up the whole phone in a way that prevents access to recovery.
Try cleaning the ROM like in above post and then flash a bootloaderfree stockrom. That should leave you with a perfect situation to start all over again.
Hi,I don't know if the word "bricked" or "drowned" is the best match for my case,but anyways here is my story:I had installed on my phone the kyrilos rom,I don't remember wich version excactly it has been too long before.My phone fell into a glass of water,I pulled battery out,dried it up with hair styler,after that it had some water marks on the screen and it was working quite good,I re-flashed it abd worked better,the watwr marks on the screen dissappeared and got better...but...my girlfriend reebooted accidently in recovery and it dropped dead,froze,I pulled the battery out,reebooted,and after that I am stuck in phone's logo and it keeps loading nothing ..forever..and I can't even boot to recovery mode..any ideas?I've searched in this blog and I couldn't find anything to do..please help me..

Hey people my first post so you can call me whatever you want
Here is the thing:
I rooted the phone, installed a custom ROM and such, on the process I guess I installed this Clockwork Mod Recovery v5.8.3.1.
Well I wanted to change the ROM so I downloaded the new one (lastest trickdroid) and follow the steps, BUT!, when trying to acces the fastboot thing on that menu that can't remeber the name of, I jsut can't get into it.
When I tart the phone pressing volume down + power, instead of going to that menu it goes to clockwork mod. I was suposed to "Flash the stock boot.img from the ROM with fastboot", but well I dont know what I did or wahtever, I can't aces that menu.
What should I do?

I am having what seems like the same issue with my phone. Just posted a thread not too long ago asking for help. One person (a SR. Member) informed me to try to restore using a NANDROID backup (which I dont have). Going off of his advice, if you have the backup, try that. If not, we both seem to have the same problem. Good luck with your issue, I will be checking both our threads for solutions from now on!

Hey again, I found some useful information that allowed me to get into my bootloader! If you are still stuck in CWM, use the volume down button to go down to the "advanced" button at the bottom of the list. Since this is a button that leads to another list and not a direct action, you can hold down the power button when highlighted over it and turn the phone off. From there, just hold Volume Down and Power as you would normally do to boot into the bootloader. Hope this helps since it worked for me!
So:
-Navigate to "advanced" (Just highlight over it)
-Hold power button for 10-15 seconds
-Phone should power off
-Volume Down + Power to boot into Bootloader
-Profit?? (Just Kidding )
Again, hope I could be of some assistance!

Have a look at fragkiller1 thread for fixing your issue.
well now I can't even get into CWM sigh
A brief flash of a screen appears now while booting it, but it just skips to the actual OS. I have the fast boot disabled ohh man what do now? DId I mess up something?

Ya, make sure you got the right rom and get yourself back into the bootloader and you should see recovery there then do a full wipe and flash the rom and also if you feel you might of flashed the wrong boot.img reflash it to make sure.
So it's over, all solved.
I tried to install a new ROM but CWM got me an error mounting the SD, then I installed another recovery (TWR) and installed the new ROM (viper one s) flashed the boot.img and now everthing works wonders, for now.
Thanks a lot Darknites for trying to help me I really appreaciate that

Pull battery, put it back in, press and hold volume up, volume down, and power button at the same time. Once Samsung splash screen pops up the first time, let go of the power button while still holding volume buttons. Should boot right into recovery.

Do a backup in recovery before factory resetting. This way, you'll still have all your stuff that you can extract.
If all else fails, you'll need to do this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21011261

Question are you using one if the custom recovery like maybe CWM sounds like you are in stock recovery but I'm new to this so I maybe wrong.

No you are absolutely right, those menus are in the UCMC1 stock 4.1.2
Decide if you want to back up or you don't care, if you do wanna backup there is some homework you have to do

you can also go to Samsung's website: http://content.samsung.com/us/contents/aboutn/kiesIntro.do
Download Samsung kies, install it and reboot your computer.
Put your phone in the download mode:
-pull the battery, but it back don't turn on your phone
-lunch Samsung kies on your computer
-hold volume up and volume down (while holding) connect the USB cable to your computer
-use your phone's volume up/down to continue to download mode
-once your phone is detected by Kies (may take a couple of connecting and reconnecting for your drivers to install and initiate)
Click Tools-> Firmware upgrade and initilazation
go that route, have the back up checked too

HY,you need to press home+power+volume down,but you need to do this when your phone is shut down.When you feel a vibration let go the power button and keep holding volume+home till you get to recovery(CWM) and proceed to backup/restore click backup,and youre done.PLEASE PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED YOU!!!!!
Thanks for the reply! I did the Volume Up + Home + Power button and release the Power once the Samsung S3 logo comes up (I've disabled the startup vibration). Once I do this, it takes me to this screen where the Android bot has fallen down and a red triangle with an exclamation mark is placed on top of it. There are options to do reset, flash, update from ex. sd card but NO option to do back up .... Next to the Android bot, there is a text that reads Multi-CSC successfully done.

HY,do you have CWM recovery installed as it should on your android device?
Yep. I went to the Google Play store and downloaded the CW ROM Manager. Before this, I did root my phone using a method suggested in this thread earlier, via ODIN.
Am I missing something that I had to do?
Appreciate your replies!

HY, you can remove the red triangle by going to play store and download triangleaway apk from CHAINFIRE.I think that it should work,but if it doesnt do what you did before to get to the recovery that gave you the red triangle and press again power button +volume up,on moust devices this works.
