Try to get a sbf/xml file, or when you get the android man to pop up go into recovery mode and do a factory data reset.... instructions for that are device specific and should be easily obtainable by a google search.

so what do i do where do i get the file how do i put it on the sd card any help please

First and foremost you need to understand the recovery mode... if you could operate it, you could fix it without the sbf. You need to go into recovery or fastboot protocol in order to stop bootlooping. Try using the volume buttons to select stuff.

[Q] help

Boot into the bootloader. Select recovery.
lol ... i know that man ... but when i select it it doesent open ... i have the exclamation mark ...and if i pres power button a few times..it does appear but it instalntly reboots because the power buttons presses the "reboot now "
Sounds like you don't have a custom recovery. Flash a custom recovery through adb and try again.
But I want the stock one

I flashed cwm in the end... but I won't be able to update to jb with it
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
The ! Is the stock one.
You got to press a button ( sorry can't think which one exactly even though it think its volume up. If not do some button mashing.... ) to get to the text part.
And you can flash jb with cwm. Just not automatically when its pushed to your device. Manual method does and in fact doesn't work anymore on stock recovery
I thought it was the volume up as well ...at least that's how I used to access it when this happened.. but now it won't work . All the buttons work so its no hardware issue
got it. .. thank you man . i let it go and went for the cwm instead.. sorry for openning such a post . i still could get in the stock one...but i dont care anymore...thanks for your replys

HELP ME!!! Ainol Aurora Bricked

give me a hand over here, i just installed the cm10 in my aurora, surprise the device turn on but i cant use the touchscreen and i cant go to cwm i dont know why, please help me i love my tablet .....sorry for my english
Wipe data and cache and then reboot. You might need to format and then remount system and then reflash the zip after wiping data/cache if that doesn't work.

You'll have to look up directions for that online. I've never even heard of your phone. If you can get into stock recovery then wipe everything and start over.

Let's hope the recovery method is the same as the newer version.
Found it here.
Here are the directions:
First of all, here is how to enter Recover Mode:
- Shut down your tablet if you have not done so
- Press and hold Volume Minus button
- Still holding Volume Minus button, hold the Power button
- When the screen displays the Android logo, release Power button but still holding on to the Volume Minus button
- After some time you will the recovery mode logo of an Android with molecules-like structures in its body, you can then release all buttons
- Wait a while more and you will enter Recover Mode, it says Android System recover on the top left
Looks similar to my Samsung one.
Problem solved guys
Thank you

[Q] Who has Bricked their Note 10.1 besides me?

Mine is stuck on the Downloading screen, shows it has progressed all the way. No button pressing combination will change anything. .Not good at all. Used Odin to flash the the same CWM recovery everybody else is using. Looks bad here. I have rooted countless Android devices and this is my first fail. Can somebody give me any advice? I just wrecked my wife's birthday gift...
Hold down the power button to restart it.
No dice. Tried that.

If power button for 15 seconds doesn't work, try volume up (in landscape right side of volume button) + power button for 10 seconds.
Held power button down for two minutes and it woke up. Redownloaded custom recovery and flashed with Odin third time. Still get stock Android recovery. Done trying. Thanks for helping though.

if you are still getting the stock recovery 3e follow these steps :
1. When flashing CWM through odin untick the "Auto Reboot" option within Odin.
2. Flash CWM.
3. When done , press power & volume up ( the one apart from power button ) until the Samsung logo appears, then leave both buttons.
4. CWM will appear.
5. Choose "Reboot System now "
6. You will get a new screen with an option mentioning something like " disable bla bla bla " ( can`t remember the exact words ) , press it & reboot.
7. Now if you get back to pressing power & volume up you will have a permanent CWM.
Then you can install root through CWM.
Please do not open multiple threads with the same topic you already have one with the same topic in Q&A Mod will close this one.

[Q] How to root when you can't get download mode? 4.2.2

Okay, I've got this Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 that's been updated with the OTA 4.2.2 update that will not turn off. I want to sell it but I don't want the new owner bugging me about it not being able to turn off. So I decided to root it and put Cyanogen Mod on it but I can't get it into download mode to flash it. I can only get it into ADB sideload from the stock recovery. Also, I can't even find the option to put it in USB debugging mode.
So my question is what's the best way to root and add CWM to this device while it's like this? I would download ROM Manager from the Playstore to start the process but I'm afraid it will brick the device. When I tried to flash the CWM zip to root it from the stock recovery I get an error saying it was unsigned or something to that affect. I've rooted many devices but this one is driving me nuts! What a screwed up update.

Are you able to reboot your tab when pressing power for some time?
Are you holding the right buttons to enter into download mode? (Holding Power + Volume-UP)
In order to enable debugging on the Tab 2, you must go to Settings>>About Tablet. Keep tapping on "Build number" then eventually the Developer Options tab will display on the left. Tap on Developer Options and you will see on the right where you can enable USB debugging mode.

Yes, it will reboot but it wont stay off. When I try to get it into dowload mode it will just quickly say "no command" and go to the the menu. Seems Im stuck on this version forever.

I have a p5113 and to get into recovery is Power + Vol down. Download mode is Power + Vol up. If you are able to get into recovery I know something that may work for you. This will install Philz Touch Recovery. I use it and it works well. Download the .zip file pertaining to your device (p5113).
- Download Philz Touch Recovery (.zip): http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=16057#files
- Download SuperSU (.zip): http://download.chainfire.eu/372/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip
Copy the .zip files to your device's microSD card and flash philz touch from Recovery Mode. Reboot back into Recovery Mode and flash the SuperSU .zip file. This should root your device.
Yea bro but he is also unable to boot into recovery dont know what problem is this. But I m sure it is boot loader problem.

I was finally able to fix the problem with not being able to shut down. I finally got the device into download mode after several tries. Once I saw that I quickly opened up ODIN and flashed clockwork mod recovery. After flashing that it shut down properly afterwards. I have shut it down 5 times in a row now and it shuts down and stay shut down every time. Im totally satisfied with that! Thanx for all you guys help.
I got it into download mode by plugging in, and shutting it down until I got to the battery charging icon (will only shut down plugged in after 2 or 3 attempts). After about 30 seconds hold down the power button and the volume down button simultaneously until the warning screen comes up. The tap volume up (button closest to the power button).

Try to do a factory reset.... turn off the phone.. and then press and hold volume up + power button for a few seconds until Huawei logo appears, release the buttons and the stock recovery should appear... then using the volume buttons go to factory reset and accept whit power button... and later reboot system
