Phone reboots into recovery always, soft brick? - Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was flashing different roms onto my I5801 to find which one would work best for me, but now my phone now can't boot. It boots directly into recovery every time. I've tried re-flashing the original roms but it doesn't seem to fix it. Any ideas on how i could get it to boot normally again? Thank you.

Hey.... don't forget to thank me!!!

stuck in recovery 5.5.0.4

hi i need help i flash back to stock whit heimdall .. but now im trying to install the unnoficial ... from red recovery everything works but when i reboot after the second flash it just reboots again and again on recovery
wtf now im stuck on 3e recovery
Sometimes I get stuck like that after I flash back to stock. Try wiping the cache in 3e recovery and rebooting. That fixes it for me usually. If not, maybe you could flash again. Hope this helps.

3. select factory reset. select cache……

[Q] Can't reinstall apps after flashing CyanogenMod

I just rooted my Verizon Galaxy SIII (MF1) via Casual and flashed CM 10.1.2. Only problem is I can't reinstall any of my apps. I've tried pushing apps from my PC to my phone. Downloading while online from the phone itself. I used titanium backup and backed up everything before the flash, but I can't figure out how to access the data I backed up. Sorry, I'm a noob, but I searched for hours and couldn't find a solution to this specific problem.
(Also, my camera hasn't worked since the flash)

Go into recovery wipe cache and dalvik reflash the rom and gapps.
Edit: sorry missed the can't get into recovery. Do you have goo manager or rom Manager depending on which recovery you use and reflash recovery via app. If not as next user pointed out Odin is your friend.

Then the only suggestion i have is to flash stock rooted rom or any TW rom and see if the phone works properly. Then we can proceed fresh again. If you run into issues on TW rom then a full odin to stock might be required.

[Q] Help using CWM!

Hello,
today I tried to put CWM on my old Galaxy fit using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19204364 so then I could upgrade it and then install a ROM, I did the Odin Multidownloader process and it looked like it worked, but I wanted to test it and I didn't know how to use the CWM I just installed, so I went to ROM Manager and from there I tried to do the CWM Recovery option and when it started to reboot, it got like stuck in the Samsung logo and some kind of bootloop, the only thing I can do is press the home-volume up-power button so I can go to the Downloading... screen.
What can I do?
Does anyone know?
Thanks
I would recommend using download mode and Odin to flash a stock Rom. Once u do that and root ur phone again I suggest getting twrp. Seems to work better for me and easy to install.,

Which version of cwm did you install?
Installing Stock Roms
First, download the stock rom of your choice from samfirmware.com
Then download beni.ops and Odin Multidownloader
Remove the sim card and memory card of your phone, and put it in download mode
Next, run Odin, and connect your phone to your windows computer. Odin should respond as detected. Then, select “Ops” as beni.ops. (Doing this would disable all other fields except “One Package”)
After this, select your desired stock rom in “One Package”.
Do not alter any other option other than those mentioned, let them remain as they are.
Make sure that the color of “COM PORT MAPPING” is yellow, and then click “Start”.
Odin will start giving different responses, and the timer in Odin would also start…now all you have to do is wait till Odin completes flashing (You will get a message “Pass”, usually within 10 minutes)
Note: Do not disconnect you phone while the process is on, and till you get that “Pass” message.
After this, it is optional but advised that you reboot into recovery mode and wipe data, otherwise you *may* face bootloops.[/list]

Question 1: can you enter recovery!? By holding power + home buttons.
Question 2: are you sure you downloaded the correct ROM from the Samsung ROMs website (the correct ROM means the latest link from your carrier).
Edit: don't forget to take out the USB cable after the flashing is done.
Depending on your answer:
Try to redo the procedure without installing custom recovery (just flash thru download mode via Odin the downloaded ROM for your device) and see if it boots (first boot takes a long time so just wait.
If you're trying to install ONLY the cwm recovery be sure you are getting the one meant for beni (other will not work).

I can make it through the Downloading page, I cant get into recovery mode and if I do the ODIN CWM process again I can get into the original rom, but when I try to reboot, it gets into the bootloop, what do I do?
I wasn't able to download the stock rom from Sammobile.... :crying:

Here you can get stock ROM :
http://terafile.co/64475c2f7787/S5670XXKPY_S5670SERKPY_SER.zip
Be sure you follow the instructions in Odin.
Are you sure you can't get in recovery with home + power!? Seems strange. Try to reinstall CWM recovery thru download mode then try to get into recovery mode. You can find more than five Odin flash able recoveries in XDA for fit. Try all.
Good luck!

That's why seems odd he can't get in recovery mode. From what I understand:
1. He flashed stock ROM (or he tried to)
2. Then he tried to flash CWM recovery and now gets bootloop at Samsung screen.
Actually this happened to me once and I had to reflash stock ROM first then cwm recovery thru Odin.

Well now on your phone is 6045 recovery which works ONLY with Cyanogenmod 11. Go to yajnab's thread and download the alpha5. Put it on your SD and flash though recovery mode (recovery mode : keep power + middle button "home" pressed until you enter recovery mode). Wipe data, cache and dalvik (Dalvik from advanced). Press install from SD card and navigate to where you put the zip downloaded earlier. Select it.... Wait... Wait.... After that wait some more... Then you can enjoy CM11 aka KitKat.
If you want a different ROM (cm7 - cm10.2) flash an older custom recovery and do the same as above.
Flashing is simple and practice makes it perfect. After all you have a Fit for spare.
Remember that different ROMs might have different flashing instructions so ALWAYS read the OP in the ROMs thread.
Enjoy!

Have you installed your ROM using 6045 cwm recovery!? Or you installed the 6045 recovery after installing ROM!?
Yajnab says:
Code:
This Recovery will only support Ext4, Ext3 or Ext2 formatted Custom ROMs.
No RFS support has been included here.
So dont come with the issues when having any stock ROM or stock based RFS custom ROM installed.
The Device wont boot up
So, honestly I didn't tried to install other rom than cm11 on this recovery.

[Q] I9003 would not get past 'Samsung boot logo'

Hello mates, I have a I9003 which would not get past the 'Samsung' boot logo. I already tried flashing a stock ROM from sammobile.com but still the problem persists.
Tried PIT+BOOTLOADER+MODEM+PHONE+CSC,
MODEM+PHONE+CSC,
PIT+PDA (ONE FILE PACKAGE)
ONLY PDA (ONE FILE PACKAGE)
Nothing works, it is still stuck. I cannot wipe data/factory reset since I can't access stock recovery. Though going to download mode is not a problem.
Any fix for this? Or should I flash another stock ROM?
Try without sim card and flash cf root after full ddlf.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA Free mobile app
I have made some progress, I think. While after flashing CF-Root for DDLF2 after clean installing it, I've waited for the phone to boot.
Now, it booted to the same Samsung I9003 boot animation, but after a while, I think it booted into recovery and started to wipe/install, though I'm not sure because the texts were going fast.
One thing I remembered was something with unable to mount /data among others. I saw other yellow texts, and also red texts, which seems to be errors (since I've used a CWM with other phones a couple of times).
After that, it got stuck to like a loading icon, like what you see when a video is buffering in Youtube, then reboots after a while to a stuck Samsung I9003 boot animation again.
Please help me mates, would be highly appreciated.

Try flashing BCK CF-root universal. I think there was a beta 15rc7 version somewhere in the BAM kernel thread. It does include a recovery.
Only for GB ROMs, not Kitkat/JB ones.

I actually did that earlier, but the thing is as I've said is that I cannot boot to recovery with the 3-button combo. What I was hoping for is a file or kernel or anything that would automatically reboot the phone to 'recovery mode' after flashing it through Odin.

I'm sure you've tried this before, but can you try flashing complete ddlf2 package from here.
This has never failed me, yet. It's my fallback if everything else doesn't work.
All the best

I'll try in a bit after DLing the package. Should I flash this several times to work? Should I flash once with PIT and BL, then just CSC, PHONE, and MODEM?

Flash all 5 at the same time. See the snapshot shown in that thread.
Also, try a different odin version (i think 1.85 worked best for me) if it fails.

Flashed it and it actually booted to recovery mode. I'll list some of the errors that arose:
E:/format_volume:rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
Data wipe failed
Also tried the 'apply update from sdcard', and shows:
E:/failed to mount /sdcard (File exists)
E:/failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid argument)
Now I'll try to flash CWM to it and hopefully boots to recovery again and flash a custom ROM :fingers-crossed:
Well, I think another progress has been made, after flashing the DDLF2 firmware again, I waited for about 7 minutes and it got past the Samsung I9003 boot logo, and it goes to the Samsung boot animation, and after that, stuck at a boot loop.

So maybe the internal mmc is corrupted. I'm not sure one to follow but definitely not the one with the wonder go program since how can I enable USB debugging if it won't even boot. Should I try to flash DDLF2 with inserting a microSD card? Or should I remove the internal mmc, which I've read in another thread was kind of successful but a little hazardous.
Try to flash froyo 2.2 with pit. Logic is to reformat the structure of the memory.

I really appreciate the help mate. Would you refer me to a link for the 2.2 stock ROMs? As I only find GB firmwares, mostly old stock ROM links are down.
May find here
