Skyrocket Stuck on ATT Rethink Possible Bootup screen

I tried flashin to stock firmware through Odin, and it said it passed/ flashed successfully yet my phone just stays on the at&t Logo, any advice?
I NEED my phone for work tomorrow and it's already getting late. I've reflashed twice now. I'm starting to panic.

I have fixed this for myself, Thanks close or delete this thread.
All I did was pull battery out, restarted to stock recovery, wiped data./ factory reset and, rebooted into rom, wiped sd and internal sd.
Now I'm off to flash a new rom, thanks!

I had the same problem. I took the same steps you did and recovered mine.

My phone wont even connect to Keis Air, i tried connecting my phone while its in download mode and when its stuck in the rethink possible screen. Still wont connect to Keis Air.

They way I was able to fix mine was to first open Kies then select initialize firmware and connect phone to USB port in back of PC. Follow the prompts they will ask for model number and serial number it is located under battery. Select OK. Once firmware is finished Downloading it will prompt you to accept, disconnect phone from PC and then place phone in DL mode by removing battery reinsert battery press volume +- and then volume + to continue once you do that then connect phone to PC via USB and follow screen prompt on PC. It took me about one hour for mine to finally return to stock. I'm going from memory because I'm not sitting in front of computer at this time. Maybe someone with more knowledge than I can help. Good luck.

Can you boot into recovery? Use adb to pull your photos to your pc.

[Q] Bricked Samsung Galaxy Y Need help!

Hello. I recently tried to install the ICS Rom, but was unsuccesful. I had the Clockworld Recovery app, and did a back up of my original ROM.
I tried to update to the new ROM, but did not do a data wipe. I didnt know if it would wipe all my data, which I needed. I DID do a dalvik cache wipe...
I tried to boot into recovery, but it was no use. I cannot download any software on my computer, so no programs will work.
I need the phone ASAP. It gets stuck on the boot up. It displays the Samsung Galaxy Y screen, plays a different type of music from the original, and gets stuck on the black screen.
Please help! I am new and only a 13 year old! I need my phone for emergency uses! And soon! NEED SUPPORT NOW!:​crying:
Did I brick my phone? Softbrick? Should I bring it to the tech? Please HELP!

Lol13, go and get another

If there is any response lights or anything, it is possible to recover it. But you need a computer unfortunately. Don't go around saying cause your 13 is an excuse for not being able to do this. I'm 13. Anyway try as hard as you can and download Odin for your device and I don't know exact details cause your phone is different from mine, but Odin it to stock. Try asking around your device forums and find a guide in the development forum.

I fixed it. I loaded a new ROM and all is well. :laugh:
I didn't try to use an excuse, I was somewhat desperate.
Anyways, I fix the problem.

[Q] My friends phone is bootlooped. We can't access recovery.

My friend installed 3e recovery. He later installed CWM. He did a backup, wiped data, dalvic cache, and he also formatted /system. He forgot to plug in the SD card with the ROM zip file, and after rebooting he can no longer access recovery. It just sits on the Samsung screen. Using "adb reboot recovery" makes the phone reboot, but it's still stuck. I'm dont know much about adb, but it will not let us push any files onto the phone.
Edit: When we try going in recovery (holding vol+/- and power) Samsung logo keeps blinking on and off.

Your best bet would be to return to stock, install a custom kernel, copy the file over, and flash after wiping

How do i do that without the ability to go in recovery? When i do Samsung screen keeps turning on and off.

Download a return-to-stock package, and go to download mode

i'll start the old Google to figure out what and how, but if you have the time can you explain this to me like i'm an idiot?
I did this and nothing changed: http://www.justanswer.com/android-devices/6k5fd-tried-upgrade-samsung-infuse-using-kies-mini.html
Also ADB is having hard time seeing the device. I got it to list the device once. And one more thing, I have to got o work now, but I'll be back in 4-5 hours (around 10pm central time)
Thank you in advance.

Ok now I have a new problem. When I put the phone in download mode i hear the "USB device plugged it" sound but Odin will not recognize the phone.
Edit: I believe that i have the drivers installed.

Which drivers? Heimdall or Odin?

OK, odin is working on the laptop. I'll update when it's done.

ALRIGHT It's fixed!! Thank you for getting me on the right track.

No problem, glad I could help

[Q] Droid 3 stuck in bootloop

I realize there are multiple threads like this but throughout all of them I have not found any that relate to my issue or a combination of them. If I have missed one I apologize in advance and please direct me to that thread then. I was running steel droid what I thought was 5.5 ICS but it looks like it is 5.1 according to the forums. I was previously running steel droid 4.5 GB. I was switching back to 4.5 because I could not get wifi hotspotting to work. I forgot to wipe my cache and went to install 4.5 and I am stuck in bootloop. X+Power gives me the android error screen, M+Power allows me into the main menu but I cannot use AP fastboot, SBF motorola will not pick up my phone and the screen will show a connection to the USB cable. I've never had a problem before but also have never forgotten to wipe the cache so any thoughts would help.

I would but I get android error screen with exclamation mark each time regardless of how I access recovery X+Power or vol +,- and Power then going to recovery, I wouldn't have thought that not wiping the cache would have been the cause but it was the one step I didn't do that I normally always do so I was just adding it in for information but thanks for the know how that it wasn't the cause. Any other thoughts since I cant even get into my backup ROM or recovery, I have another SD card not sure if my SD card has become fried for some reason, I will be trying that to see if maybe that is all it is.

Yep but phone isn't picking up my data cable and how ever many issues that have come about here, I think I am SOL but gonna try an SD card hoping that it is just a bad SD card or something like that. May end up having to use part of that great tax return also, thanks for the help, I'm going samsung next, that whole fore sight wasn't there two years ago.

In it's current state, is it in any way possible to tell that it is rooted? Is the boy animation stock or a different one? Motorola might repair it for you if you can't tell that it's been rooted

Unfortunately you can easily tell that it is not stock ROM by bootloop

Well your computer should recognize your droid that's a common problem with Odin and Samsung one of these steps always work so try then and seen if we can't get your droid recognized NUMBER 4 WILL WORK 99% OF THE TIME BUT TRY THE OTHER METHODS FIRST 1. Use the stock cable or try a difrent port 2. If its possible on your program take out the battery and SD card as leaving them in course problems 3. Run the program as aminstrative 4. Plug the phone in and have it in download mode or whatever you call it WHILE THE COMPUTER IS BOOTING Up This will force the computer to recognize it not the best method but it always works

Thanks step 4 ended up being the working method, happened again when loading gingerbread back on, so I walked through it again, removed ICS from memory card wiped phone completely and then loaded gingerbread back on and finally had success. Thanks for all the help

[Q] Will only boot in Download mode

All,
Hopefully this is an easy one. I looked through the board and did not see anything I haven't similar but i can be wrong. Quick background, I rebooted the phone it looked normal on shutdown but it never came back up.. What I have tried is tremove the battery and left it for day and tried to turn on with no luck. A couple of times it showed the battery indicator but would go black screen if i tried to turn it on. I have reloaded the stock rom using ODIN still no luck. The only thing I can make it do is go to the download screen, that's it. This is a stock ATT Skyrocket no mods or anything. It seems to be a software issue but I do not know how to fix it. Any Ideas Thanks

oops!

I'm in the same boat. Root was a confirmed success after the OTA update, but now I can't get pass the download screen while booting up the phone. When I was trying to boot into recovery mode after I did a few quick restarts in a row after rooting phone, to install a debloater .zip, it came to this screen only (see screenshot), the Samsung logo comes up before this and it's all that it does now. Thinking it's a soft brick as this screen is the only thing that keeps coming up after Samsung Logo with no unlock/lock symbol, when I try to reboot the phone in various ways. I know I can't use Odin to reflash back to stock MDL after the June OTA update, as I tried with no luck came up failed like I knew it would. Plug in via usb to computer, PC doesn't recognize it, so I can't check / access anything on the phone. Pulling straws here. PLEASE HELP.......
