Hello experts,
I was rooting my samsung galaxy tab 2 7" , now when i am booting up the device, it goes straight to cwm recovery and get stuck there, I am trying to flash cynogen mod, but it wont be a success (it always gives me "installation aborted" , status 7!!).
To get out of the issue, I founf that I should put the stock rom again, but that wont happen!! because I cannot go into download mode (so odin is useless)
what should i do to get out of this loop ??

How are you trying to go into Download mode? What exactly are you doing?
Also, you could try flashing a different recovery from inside CWM. Search for the zip flashable version of TWRP or Philz touch recovery for your device. And always search for the latest version.
Are you sure you have the latest version of CWM on your device? Status error 7 is usually related with an outdated recovery.
I would really be surprised if you couldn't enter download mode, as that is bootloader related and unless you messed with that, should be untouched.
Good luck.

I was stuck in cwm and trying to enter download mode(power + volume down) and also tried flashing different releases of different roms!
However I have been facing a different problem after that!!
While in cwm bootloop, I let my battery drain away. But after that my device is not booting only!!
I tried reconnecting battery ,tried to enter recovery mode ; download mode. But the device is not at all booting!!!!!
I somehow want to enter download mode!!
what is this(is this called bricking??)

So you are saying that your battery drained and your device is not booting. I am guessing you recharged the battery right?
Does the tablet charge when you connect the charger cable? Does is vibrate or does anything appear when you connect the charger or press the power button?
If your tablet is dead no matter what you do and you are sure the battery is charged, then yes.....that is what is known as: brick.
There are several ways to fix this. The easiest would be to try something known as a JIG. It looks like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... Accessories-_-Five Star Inc-_-9SIA2C51F93186
This can boot your device in Download Mode just by simply connecting it to the device. Search for Samsung USB JIG on youtube and you will see a lot of examples.
If your bootloader is messed up, that won't work and your only solution is a JTAG. For this, you need to take it to a service repair shop because it involves a device that you most likely do not have and you need to take your device apart.
Good luck.
Hello andreiav,
I am currently in the same problem, messed up. I have not tried JIG or JTAG yet. I took the tab to service centre nearby.
and thry won't hlp me unbricking my phone.Instead they say that JTAG can be used ONLY and ONLY when phone is alive (active condition, i.e. not dead), I suspect that it's not true.(I think JTAG can OBVIOUSLY used in dead phone!) They say my power ic is damaged, and my motherboard is damaged. I am pretty sure that just a rooting failure won't damage my motherboard. Also as you said, my phone is hard bricked (which even came to conclusion when I did diagnose ). I have a question, can JTAG not be used on dead phone??? that can motherboard get damaged this way??
P.S. : service centre guys are not trustworthy here in my country.
Thanks in advance

I have spent the past 3 hours scouring over these forums before doing a post and I could find lots of great information if I could just get past the perpetual loop and access either the Recovery or Download Modes of my phone.
It is a Telus Samsung Galaxy Fascinate [SGH-T989D] and I have been tinkering with it for that past 24 hours to get it rooted and play with some of the ROMs out there.
I have gotten past the 3e Recovery Issues, resolved a Soft Brick and tested out 3 ROMs but now I am completely stuck and I think it is entirely my own fault but now I need some assistance in getting out of it.
This morning I threw on ICS_NBv9.2 and as it warned it went into a bit of a panic mode and has hit a perpetual Boot Loop. Now every post I have read says go into Download Mode and Odin back to Stock...I can't...it comes up with the Battery Image twice and then starts the boot up cycle all over again. The other option is to Flash the ROM again...problem is it continuously cycles through the Boot and never goes anywhere.
I have tried multiple Cables, reinstalled the USB Drivers, tried on 4 different Computers (2 Linux and 2 Windows) and well lets just say I am at the end of my rope.
Is there any known way to stop this kernel panic and let me get back to stock and put a functional ROM on the phone.
Thanks in Advance.
I may be able to help you...
Here are some solutions I can think of from the top of my head.
Try to see if your phone will connect to samsung kies on your computer via USB, there should be a way to restore it from there.
If you can't do this, then the next step would be to try and enter CWM Recovery mode (you should have this installed already, just look online how to enter into recovery mode). Next, mount your phone using recovery and put a stable rom (.zip) onto your phone. Factory reset, and wipe your phone, then flash the rom.
If you can't enter CWM Recovery, then the next step I can think of is to find a stable rom and flash it through ODIN.
If this isn't working either, then you just made yourself a very stylish paper weight! congrats.
There may stil be hope that if you call your carrier and tell them a sob story like, "my phone restarted on it's own and now it won't work properly." - and answer no if they ask you if you flashed, or downloaded 3rd party apps - then they might send you a free replacement.
Next time you want to flash your phone, remember... MAKE A BACKUP (nandroid) FIRST. That way if anything goes wrong, you can just restore it back the way it was.
Here is a site that may help you as well for rooting and making a backup for the t-989D (samsung galaxy s2 x - telus):

Try This..
Remove Data Cable from Phone
Remove battery and re insert after 3-5 secs
now try to enter Downloading mode..
then insert data cable. and flash stock FW.
it should work..
The Paper Weight Theory
Thanks Input_Method and ranjan.
Unfortunately the reboot takes effect and cycles through before Kies, ODIN or anything else can take hold of the device.
I have tried the cable trick, Recovery Mode is a no go and it would appear to be an issue with CWM mismatch which is causing the reboot.
Hoping that a local "phone hacker" can help me out with a JTAG reboot this weekend but I am not overly optimistic.
Thanks again.
Hey, i am new here i used to get helps lot in this forum but now i am facing a problem that i didn't found a solution for it yet..
first off i tried to change from android 2.3.6 to 2.3.5 (Arabic support) using Odin v1.83 when i put the .tar file into PDA then i run it. gave me failed and the phone won't work again when i restarted it gave me result are like this : Phone--!--PC
please help me i cannot do anything.. i tried to remove the battery using usb cable go to recovery mode,,, download mode but nothing it keep appearing even it i turned off the phone just in one click to power button it appear again.. i am going to crazy and the phone has warranty expired please is there anyway to solve this problem?
I don't know if your phone is the same, but with my Nexus if stuck in bootloop I can plug the usb cable in and use adb to enter command "adb reboot bootloader" and get to fastboot and flash the stock images. Maybe you can try something like that. That's why I love the nexus I thought I bricked it a couple times but I always got back to stock images. or if you have a cwm restore you can get to that once in fastboot.
Thanks for your reply! but where i can find stock images?? and can i make it without formatting everything on it? plus when i did that i wasn't have the sd card inside it and without a sim card also
i found on the web that i need to install default kernel.. i did that and put it to bootloader in Odin and the operation succeed but now i am facing looping on Samsung logo with yellow triangle ... see the picture.. it always loop can't do anything tried recovery mode download mode but nothing.. is there any fast solution please? i beg you guys please
Try to wipe everything trough recovery, and flash another rom.
Just google for Heimdall recovery
Does Heimdall perform anything different than Odin?
try to install leaked original rom ics for gs2. i try it and yellow triangle is out
Hi There,
Sorry misleading title, it's a P5100 (wifi+3G tab)
I know this has been asked many times on these forums, but I couldn't find anything to help.
Following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1722745
I tried to restore the P5100 to stock from CM (This is the firmware I downloadad: http://samsung-updates.com/details/1...100UBDMD2.html)
Now my device is stuck in charging boot loop. I can enter stock download mode via holding up and power on boot (however Odin 3.07 fails at the "setupConnection" and Odin 1.85 fails at Can't open the specified file. (Line: 1876)) I tried this on several computers.
I am able to turn the device of when it's plugged in to power, it then goes to the battery charging screen and if I take out the power the device remains off.
I cannot enter stock recovery, maybe I am doing something wrong, but when holding the down volume and tapping the power button the device simply boots.
Any help appreicated
Think you have same issue as me. I can get to download mode but not recovery, only difference is I can flash the firmware with no errors but tablet still wont boot always stuck on samsung logo and will not go to recovery either.
Have you tried a different usb cable, I also got that message few times I just rebooted it back to download mode and it fixed up after that. Good luck.
No luck
I have managed to use odin and flash a different stock firmware. Now the device simply gets stuck on the Samsung Logo on boot. How'd you fix this?
I have already tried all cwm recoveries some bootloaders and different stock firmwares. I think the chip that holds the firmware might be faulty and doesnt let the device boot up.
Anyone had same issue that can help us get a solution to this problem or at least an explanation of whats going on would be highly apreciated.
Greetings everyone, I am a new member and hope to become more involved in the community.
I have installed many custom ROMs on my Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 in the past. On my latest attempt to install a custom ROM the recovery software went all funny. The phone would turn on and boot directly into recovery mode (displaying the text "RECOVERY BOOTING... RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING. Set Warranty Bit: Recovery"). It wouldn't go any further, meaning that I never get to see the actual menu where I would be able to clear cache, factory reset or install firmware. It then immediately dies and starts up again into the same screen. I tried using all the hardware buttons (i.e. booting into safe mode and recovery mode), the phone doesn't react at all. When plugging it into a PC there is also no reaction on the PC. The phone simply continues to boot into the recovery screen and then die before reaching the options menu.
PLEASE HELP, I have been trying to fix the issue for two days now. Any advice would be highly appreciated!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Can you boot into download mode? It sounds like you'll have to flash the stock firmware in Odin. If you run into problems you can ask for help herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help

Originally the phone would not boot into download mode at all. It was essentially hard bricked. After a couple hours of messing with it, trying to get some kind of reaction out of the device, I managed to get it to boot into download mode. I actually managed this by pulling out the battery and pushing Power + Volume Down + Home whilst almost jump starting using the battery (connecting the battery connectors without fully putting the battery in to the phone). This managed to wake the phone into download mode similar to what a USB Jig would have.
Solution was found purely by luck.

Please guys, my galaxy S2 SHW-M20K (Korean) is in trouble.
I bought it from a 2nd hand shop , and it was runing Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean (rooted stock rom). I had no problem with it till today when I tried to install "CWM Recovery", After searching the web i found a post with two files that supposedly could do the task. These files are:
1. CWM_KT_M250K.tar
2. Tegrak-Kernel-Build-39-for-SHW-M250K-UE18.tar
Using Odin, I triedd the first file but it couldn't work, and the phone could not boot so i downloaded the "rooted factory firmware" and flashed the phone. Everything was ok. Later I tried the second file. Again the phone could not boot and stuck at the logo with a yellow triangle. After waiting for about 5 minutes I tried to shut it down by pressing the power button it did'nt respond. (Now this is a point that I regret), I removed the battery as a way of forcing to turn it off.
Now my phone cannot boot. It doesn't respond to power button, neither does it allow me to enter recovery mode nor download mode. But When i connect to the charger or pc, it start charging and keeps cutting off the charging frequently. But it only allows me to enter download mode when connected to pc. When I tried to flash the "rooted factory firmware", again, the flashing goes smoothly but when the phone starts rebooting it fails as if there is a power cut. Is my battery damaged? Can someone give me a guide on how to fix it?
I need your help gus, I am not an expert in the rootings and roms,
Pardon My English. It's a foreign language to me.

As u mentioned, I think that your phone has gone to a Soft Brick. I don't know much about the Korean build, so Google it to solve the Soft Brick. Try flashing the stock rom via odin but I don't recommend it since it may cause your phone to be hard bricked if not done properly.
So go to the service centre, you'll get more help there

I thank you sir for responding to this. From what you have said, I think the best decision is to take it to Samsung service center. (For I have tried to google it but I couldn't get a solution). I would also like to know if it is repairable, and about the cost, is it worth repairing or should I think of buying a new phone?
I am stranded.
