Hi all,
I moved to android from iOS 2 weeks ago, bought goophone S5 Pro. Octacore 1.7 Ghz. 1gb RAM. Yesterday I decided to install MIUI on it. Found one that is for my processor MT6592. Even though i wasnt sure if its for goophone s5. Long story short, I rooted my phone. With no problems. then I copied my new os to sd card. through computer Droit tools if not mistaking, i booted to recovery mod. Where i cleaned some chache and other staff and then selected the install rom from sd. After restart my phone went into bootloop.
Before i tried to go to recovery mod to do what is necessary for new rom installation. In off state i pressed power + volume UP key. the phone showed me boot options. Recovery, fast and normal boot. I could go up and down in the list, but when i was selecting any of them, nothing was happening. but I managed to go into recovery through Droid tools.
Now my phone is stuck in bootloop. My pc doesnt see me phone so i can use Droid tools again, only thing i can do is to press power and volume up. go to boot options, but cant select any of them. it says press Volume up to select, and volume down to choose. I can go through the list with up key, but when i press down, doesnt work. My volume key works fine. I tested it before when the phone was normal.
Any help to turn this brick into phone once again or i need to go back to iOS?
Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
Was wondering if i can get help or a solution to my problem.
I have an advance II novo 7 tablet, First of I''l start at the beginning.
I flashed my tablet and before i did i done a nandroid back up,
now i have realised i have flashed it with the wrong rom for the simple fact when i press
left, my tablet pointer goes right. In my tablet it wont sync with pc nor will it boot in to recovery mode.
All my programmes are missing except terminal and a few others, my tablet will not connect to wifi.
So i can't just download a copy of CWM prem, an install it.
Oh yeah my memory card is full but it's like a virus, i can't access it and as above
everything is back to front. Can i even install or do something via terminal?!?
Any help would be much apprectiated, as at the moment I'm sitting basically with a dead slate.
Kind regards.
Joseph.
From my experience, the custom ROMs have a shortcut to boot into recovery. Press and hold power button, when menu arrives, goto Restart > Recovery, press OK.
Please tell if it helps or not
Hi folks.
I need a little help.
I rooted my Star N9599 MTK6589 to get rid of the malware that was recently reported on news sites. That went fine and I got the malware removed.
However I now want to try some different ROMs on the phone, but can't for the life of me get it to boot into recovery. It will show the jellybean jar image, reboot, then go ahead and load the current ROM.
After searching the forums for ways to boot into recovery(very useful, thanks for that)Here's what I've tried already
Power and volume up (most promising, it loads the jellybean image, looks as though its considering going into recovery but then simply reboots, repeats until volume + has been released, then boots up normally)
Power and volume - (takes me into factory mode)
Power, volume + and volume - (again takes me into factory mode)
Power and home (nothing)
Reboot into recovery via Rom Manager/CWM(same result as Power and volume +)
Reboot into recovery via Quick boot app (same result as power and volume +)
adb reboot recovery via adb (same result as power and volume+)
USB debugging is enabled, I've deactivated the fast boot optionon my phone as well.
I've read somewhere that some phones have been coded to reboot from recovery into standard boot automatically, same article advised that ADB should work around this but no such luck I'm afraid.
Any help or advice you could give would be greatly appriciated as I''m now reaching Phone vs Wall levels of frustration.
Thanks
There is no forum for your device on XDA. However, there is a pretty extensive thread [Q] Star N9599 MTK6589 Quad CoreWith S-Pen 5.7 Inch 720P HD Screen 3G Sma On Home > General discussion > Questions and Answers
There are devices which DO NOT come with a Recovery installed out of box. Yours could be such a case. At least that's what leads me to conclude with your experience. Now that does not mean you can't flash one. You can post in the above thread to see if anyone has flashed CWM Recovery for your phone. Since you have tried Rom Manager, it may have said there is a Recovery for your device.
Long story short, day after rooting, SuperSu suggested to update the program. It was late at night and I clicked one of the options which was TWRP/CWMR but for HTC devices . I agreed and it rebooted the device. Now I am stuck in booting page where there is an exclamation mark with product name.
Volume UP + HOME + POWER dont get me nowhere. I also tried to go ODIN mode (Volume DOWN + HOME + POWER) but no help.
Only thing it does is after 8 seconds of power button, it gives me black screen and goes back to boot display.
Took out my and put back in my battery, later external card and SIM but always stuck at booting.
When chargin battery, it doesnt even show the visual of the battery charging(green area) but only buffering ring on battery icon.
I think the whole firmware is bad, but how is it possible to reset everything ?
I hope it isnt bricked.
Hi,
First, we need your exact model number to guide you to help. There are several S2 models.
Also, did you have twrp or CWM installed already? It sounds like SU tried to boot to them but you had stock recovery? Or am I wrong?
How did you root originally?
And yes, you need to get into download mode, you likely need to flash stock with Odin again. Without download mode or even recovery mode... You are stuck.
At the moment I am trying to get my hands on JIG USB which enables me to go Download mode. and then flash ROM from ODIN.
The exact model is S2 i9100.
Hopefully it works for you! In the future then, all questions and issues about your device would go here,

Hi to all. I have a problem with my tablet.Some days a go my tablet started to bootloop. I got the ZTE logo and then reboots again. It's the same thing when I tryto charge it. For a couple of seconds it shows the battery icon which is low and after that it's like it shuts off and shows the battery icon again. Over and over. Not only that but when I try to enter to recovery mode I press power + volume up and I get 4 boot modes recovery,fastboot,normal and UART.When I choose recovery mode the screen goes black.no android icon what so ever. I want to recover my files from it and flash it with new rom.
Any ideas?
Ok I solved the first problem.It tyrned out that it had not enough battery.I did charge the battery without the tablet and it has enough power to boot to recovery menu. It has the option backup user data data but I get Mount data error. I can't think a way to recover my files without factory reset.
Hi there,

My galaxy s5 has a broken volume Up button, and it mostly hasn't been a problem up to this point. I could reboot into recovery and download using advanced reboot or ADB whenever I needed to, but then I bricked my phone with a faulty Lineage OS update. I can now turn the phone on, but it gets stuck on the Samsung logo, never progressing. I can't boot into recovery to recover a backup or flash a safe Lineage zip because my phone's Volume Up button is broken. I cant boot into download to flash using ODIN because after I get to the warning screen, I can't confirm I want to go into download mode with the Volume Up button. Is there any way to force boot into Download or Recovery (maybe using some computer program or something like it) so I can fix the OS and get out of a bricked phone? I don't care about loosing data since I knew the risks going in and have plenty of backups. So far, the only "solutions" I have found have required the phone's ADB (which I cannot access since I cannot boot up the phone), and a promising program that force boots Download mode through a charging cable (which I couldn't download because it was marked as "potentially dangerous" to my computer, A.K.A. a virus).
Repairing the phone's volume button is very complicated and expensive, so that is not an option. Getting a new phone is an option, but it is the option of last resort. Is there anything I can do to salvage this phone?
Hi there and welcome to assist,
I would suggest, get the power button replaced, because you'll get locked out, when battery runs out or phone turns off!
