And after flashing and restoring the OS, don't forget to regularly backup your ROM.
To enter recovery mode, you should turn off your tablet,
then press and hold volume-- (with two dots) and long press power button,
then (after vibrating) release all buttons and swiftly press volume+ (with one dot),
and after one more vibrating release the bitton and press volume-- (two dots).
Then you can backup and restore everything under backup and restore menu (use external sdcard for this).

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.

same problem
i am experiencing the same problem. 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
I have a samsung galaxy exhibit 2 4G that I rooted and flashed cm9 onto. Today I went to go flash a new rom on. When I am in recovery, whatever option I want to do, whether its wipe data or install from sd card, it just goes blank with the clockwork logo. So I then realized that I can't even access my external sd card on my phone. If I try to plug my phone into the computer, I just get the device not recognized popup.
So I can't restore my previous backup, I can't flash a new recovery, I can't even use an external sd card because it doesn't read properly, and the phone won't connect to the computer because the drivers are all screwed up. I don't know what to do. I tried a data reset, I tried to use rom manager, but it doesn't work with the exhibit 2.
I know it's an outdated slow phone, but I need this phone to work. Thanks!
Try pressing a different button to select, while in recovery. On my phone, I can use power button or search button. Menu button removes all text & I'm left with just the background.

I normally use the power button because that's what is normally suggested.

The answers are in there.
At the very lest you should be able to do an Odin flash but would wait on that for now.
Hi, I have an ACER A200 Tablet. The partitions are totally wiped out and not able to boot, basically nothing on screen when power on. Anyone can advise how to recover from here? Any tools? ADB etc nothing is working. Thanks.

Download and copy any custom ROM of your choice to external sd card (update.zip format) by using any card reader (if your pc/laptop is not recognizing your tab and storage when connected).
Now power off your tablet and press and hold left volume button and then press and hold power until Acer icon appears and white text in the upper left corner, now release the buttons.
It will automatically install the ROM!
NOTE: Do not extract the downloaded zip format ROM. Copy it as it is.
Hope it helped you.
Hi,
Thanks for the response, its not working. Nothing on the screen on power up. The whole system is gone, no boot or recovery partition.
I guess the only way is to use some tool to sort of reconfigure the partitions into the internal memory. I have no idea how to do that. Appreciate any advise.
Try to get into download/recovery mode and flash stock ROM.
I guess it got soft bricked.
I recently flashed a new ROM and everything went well. 2-3 weeks later my phone died from lack of charge, I connected it. I turned it on and my start up screen begins but it just stays there...the phone doesn't turn on. I've let it charge completely, and it still will not turn all the way on.
Is there something I can try? How does one get into recovery or download mode with this phone?
Start your phone by pressing volume up and power button together. This will boot the phone into boot loader menu. Then use volume button to scroll down and select recovery. Press power button to boot into recovery.
You may try flashing a diff ROM and see if it boots.

The ROM (a Hellybean version) is just not working...I reloaded it and I still get stuck at the startup screen. As this phone doesn't have an external SD card, how would one go about putting in another ROM?
Or simply, how do I go back to stock? Is there something like ODIN? Sorry the noob questions...I know my phone front and back (old Captivate) and I'm actually trying to fix this for my boyfriend. Thanks

Go into Recovery-> Mount and Storage -> Mount USB Storage, then you're Computer will recognize your phone, and will able to see your SD card, then put Rom in the Sd Card, unmount SD card from recovery, Go back, do a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, choose zip from SD card and happy Flashing
It worked Thank you guys! :good:
Hey there,
I have a Lenovo A916 which was pretty reliable. However, it is currently stuck in a boot loop. It wasn't the average type of bricking where one was trying to flash a new rom or where one was trying to root the phone. It was one where a vital app was deleted (I believe the OS UI, I may be wrong) and thus it won't restart properly. I have searched several forums and researched several processes but I wanted more advice before I tried to unbrick the phone myself.
Unfortunately, the drawbacks are that there isn't much information out there about the particular type of phone, and it makes it hard to apply methods that are made for more popular models.
The phone is rooted but the boot loader is locked. Obviously I cannot go into USB debugging mode but the phone does have a memory card slot. I have both the original and a custom rom downloaded and the relevant drivers. I even have Lenovo's LeTools.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Have you tried factory reset? I have the same phone.
Turn it off, then hold the middle of the volume rocker firmly and keep holding it while you turn on the phone - you will see a green tilted android.
Press on/off button 1 time
use the volume rocker to move down to wipe data/factory reset and press the in the middle of the volume rocker. Then on the next screen move down to Yes and press the middle of the volume rocker.
Your phone will now factory reset - wait until its done.
it will restart by itself - if not, then move to reboot now and press the middle of the volume rocker.
Hopefully this will fix your issue - though now your facing another one - there might be spyware on your phone and you have to re-root it and depending on the method install either superuser or supersu(best), then remove the spyware with malwarebytes, avast, 360 security. Make a list of those that can't be cleaned.
Then disable the offending apps.
BE CAREFUL! I'm not responsible for what you do!
If you by accident choose the wrong thing, then hold the power button for 30 seconds and your phone will restart. Turn if off and try again.
Be advised that you will loose all your apps and files, you should remove your MicroSD card first.
Good luck
Factory reset won't work.
You said you just flashed a new rom right?
If you done factory reset, it wouldn't reset your phone COMPLETELY. It will just reset the settings and the data.
What you need to do is you need to find the stock rom of your device. Then reflash it into your device.

No, I didn't flash a new ROM. Actually, I was using the stock ROM when the UI got deleted. I do have the stock ROM however. What is the best way to flash the ROM to my device?
