I have a samsung galaxy s2x (SGH-I727R) from rogers. I tried to root it but it did not work as I used a wrong instruction (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514434) Then I did reset factory which removed the USB storage and made the phone fresh. I then tried another instruction that I cannot remember what it was. I did not work neither I guess. Because, when I put a Bell sim card into the phone it did not recognize that, but there was a superuser app installed in the application menu. However, I tried to run the reset factory again and try another approach, but it did not work. When I try to run reset factory it stops after a couple of seconds. When I shutdown the phone, it cannot completely be off and I have to remove the battery to make it off. I also tried to enter to recovery mode but after pressing a button in that mode the phone is crashed and I need to restart the phone.
So I am really really confused and I don't know what to do. I am also new in this kind of things. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hey guys
I have a Samsung Galaxy S. Last week I tried installing a battery icon and after installation, it rebooted my phone. It's now stuck giving me the message titled, "Factory Test Failed" w/ error,"no package was found that provides the factory_test action‏" I have the "Confirm" button, but everytime I click it, the same msg pops up again. This happens after the Galaxy and rogers logo loads. I tried going to recovery mode and clean up my user data and cleaned up the internal SD, but nothing seems to work.
I don't have my USB in debugging mode, so I am not sure if Odin is going to work on it. Any help? I did upgrade it to 2.2.
You may have to reflash 2.2 to get everything back to stock and/or do a factory reset within recovery if you can
You crashed your phone - try to reinstall the software.
So yeah, i rooted my samsung galaxy fit earlier today with no issues, then proceeded to flash a rom. After receiving many errors (e-big partition size, usb not accessible etc) i now cannot turn my phone on as i get stuck at a screen with a picture of a phone and a computer with a warning sign inbetween them.
I've been doing this between two computers, reinstalled drivers numerous times, removed the sim and sd from the phone and tried again, rebooted computers etc.
I can only access download mode, and the other mentioned screen. I can't even access recovery mode.
Every time i have tried to flash using odin i have made sure samsung kies has been shut and it's processes have been ended via the task manager.
At this point i no longer care whether or not my phone is rooted, i just care about being able to use my phone.
I cannot get Samsung Kies to recognise the phone either, on both computers. I get stuck on 'connecting'. I've reinstalled drivers several times with the same result.
Just to clarify, odin does detect the phone, with the 'healthy' yellow box.
Any kind of help is appreciated, perhaps there's a way to force a restore to the stock rom?
I'm pretty desperate.
Issue now solved. I just wasn't aware that there was a version of odin specifically for use with Samsung Galaxy Fit, Pop and Mini.
Hey guys,
Is data recovery possible after a flash? Also, what is wrong? I have searched but no answer directly hits on this. I am not a tech guy- Biology- sorry for that ahead. To the issue, I dlowded a software update to my Galaxy s3.....and boom froze on Samsung screen. I can turn phone off and on. It would not boot past Samsung. So I went into cache partrition, and tried a system reboot- cannot. So then I seen a program that supposively recovers data after factory reset if you do nothing else to the phone. However, problem I hit te dreaded factory reset- nothing. Over a software update? My computer is not recognizing the device. So I went to Samsung, they tried installing software, however, the computers were recognizing, but not connecting. One tech said they did not have flash- I went back again, the othertech said they did. Anywho, after 4 days, I forked my phone over to a repair guy. He I believe tried Odin- as it currently sits in odin mode. Now it was getting into download mode- but ow I have this message- " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." A samsung guy mentioned it might be able to be flashed, as my concern data- not backed up. This info is pretty important, as I have several contacts and mssgs. The two modes my phone can go into: Odin and recovery. I could really use the help, on both saving data, and getting the phone to fire- as it might be able to- but data?
Thanks in advance.
Use helium for recovery data

Before or after the a Flash? Thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure what's going on with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S6 from Verizon). I did install PingPong root and was enjoying it until yesterday morning when the phone was stuck in some weird boot loop.
After getting root, the only thing I've really done was to try to get into servicemode app by modifying the file
/efs/carrier/HiddenMenu
Modifying this file worked and I could access the servicemode app fine.
I've gone through a number of different steps to try to get it back to a normal operation but nothing has worked:
1. Factory reset
2. Cache reset
3. Odin + original firmware found on this forum
4. Verizon tool to repair phone
In every case, the phone will boot, load Android and show the initial setup screens and then after 1-3 minutes it will restart. There is no warning, it just reboots.
I've tried to look at logcat or dmesg to see if there is anything suspicious but it doesn't reveal anything.
The only clue I have that the above steps haven't completely reset the phone to the completely original settings is I am still able to access the servicemode app. I cannot under the HiddenMenu change I did without rerooting the phone.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on with my phone? Are there any logs or places I can check for actual issues?
Any help or advice is appreciated.
Good afternoon or whatever time you have there, greetings. So here's the situation: I've been trying to root my Samsung J2 Prime, about two days ago, using KingRoot, KingoRoot, and FramaRoot, but to no avail, they did not work. So, becoming desperate, I ventured to the dangerous thing I regret doing: flashing its firmware. So I've attempted to root it with Odin, and then it said "To start up your device, enter your password." And I was dazed, I don't have a password! And if it really had a password before, I don't know! Moving on, I've not attempted to wipe its data, knowing the files in it. So, I tried to recover it on Odin by opening download mode, the FRP Lock is on, so unfortunately most of my ventures are unsuccessful. Then, after entering an incorrect password (on the home screen something of the "To start up your device..." screen), it proceeded to wipe factory data, which then prompted my phone to have a bootloop, however I could still access download mode, but not recovery mode. Then, when I've somehow managed to access recovery mode through root boot on Odin, I've wiped my factory data and the cache partition. Then, after a few attempts, I used some firmware I've downloaded and it said it worked for me so I was at first. But when I checked my phone, it would no longer turn on! As in it wouldn't boot at all, even remotely. The charging screen won't even appear. I'm going crazy. I've tried to remove the battery then return it, to no avail it won't work. I really don't think it's a battery issue. Can anyone help?
(Btw, I've been following random YouTube videos whose links I've not saved, and some random pages. Also, I'm not sure with my carrier, but I'm more confident that it's Globe.)
Are you install stock rom to your device through odin?
