So I messed up. I tried to root Samsung Galaxy J1 using Odin but as soon as flashing started the phone rebooted and despite Odin saying PASS it does not want to turn on. It only displays logo and a small red exclamation mark in the upper left corner and stays like that forever.
Now the question: is it possible to redo it? I mean i had some fairly important files (a couple of photos and 2-3 audio tracks) on there and unfortunately i haven't made any backup. I can access download mode and recovery but that doesn't help much since i want to rescue those files somehow... Do you have any idea what should I do? Thanks in advance.
I read somewhere that if I flash the same firmware through odin I shouldn't have my data lost, Is this true and is this possible in my situation (i mean will flashing firmware fix my red exclamation mark problem?)

help yellow triange
Hi, I just tried to update firmware and like you I'm stuck with yellow triangle between phone and PC...what did you do? What's odn3?
Please help...
I have a galaxy s2 I9100 the last day i wanted to download the cyonegen mode to try it i followed all the step in the tutorial correctly but now in my boot screen a triangle appear and after some researched i figure out that this triangle is caused by my counter that is not set to 0 anyway i also find the triangle away software that can reset it so i went to the tutorial of how to use it and i followed it... it reset the counter but my phone is stuck in the boot screen and an infinite loop is occurring .. i searched for many discussion over here and in the web and i found this : After using Triangle Away I get no bootscreen at all or an error message on screen ?
Try flashing the attached "param.tar" as PDA in ODIN (no repartition!), that may clear up the issue. Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100 ONLY
my question is where can i find this "param.tar" file so i can flash it with odin and thank you
Hi
i recently bricked my phone while updating from stock to phils cwm recovery and my cable unplugged. After that my phone went just dead. I read on the internet and used a OMAP flash and after that i could access my download mode, but it has a yellow exclamation mark triangle and has the android mascot with a 0 in it. I dont know what that means.
Now i some how managed to put a stock rom in it (Gingerbread). But it never switches on. I keep getting a blank screen, not even the samsung bot load symbol comes up. But when ever i use a pit file to just repartition the device my phone starts up and the gingerbread os switches on. But it keeps flashing that every process of google is being forced close, so i cant even move ahead. its just stuck there, and error keeps coming up with force close pop up.
If i try to restart the device it gets the blank screen again. it works again if i repartition it.
i even tried nand flash, but it gets stuck in odin after the message Erase.....
i tried adding a new recovery to no avail. Neither does a new Android OS gets pushed in, gets stuck at NAND write start.
The phone doesnt let me access recovery also. It gets the same blank screen when i try.
help please

Hmm ... after flashing a custom (PhilZ-cwm) recovery, the yellow triangle shows that you are no longer on official/stock firmware.
You can reset it with TriangleAway app from Chainfire.
If download mode still works, you can try to flash another (custom) kernel with a custom recovery. But it has to be a kernel which is compatible with your current ROM.
For further questions, please post in the Galaxy SII GT-I9100 G Q&A thread.
If you have issues with your download mode, check the [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked I9100G thread.
Thread closed ... thank you !
TLDR;
Trying to install custom recovery with odin auto-reboot checked off so stock doesnt replace odin says PASS I disconnect the phone but in downloading mode the blue bar is full and the phone doesn't want to shut down. I remove the battery and try to boot into custom philz-recovery it gets stuck in samsung logo. But functions perfectly on normal boot. I reset the whole phone and try the cf-auto-root method and the phone gets stuck in samsung logo now not even booting up normally. So i reset the whole phone again with odin and firmware from sammobile now sitting with a stock android and knox warranty ticked without having a root.
(Sorry for the long post I've tried to provide as much info as I can) So I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 exact model number SM-G900H. And I'm trying to root it. I go into download mode than I launch Odin and check off Auto-Reboot so it won't boot up and the stock recovery replaces the custom I'm trying to install, I connect the phone it says its connected than I select AP and than choose philz-recovery (latest version) and start it. So the Odin finishes its work says "PASS" in green letters. I disconnect the phone but on S5 the blue bar is full and it does not want to shut down (if the auto-reboot is checked it just reboots and it doesn't even want to boot into stock recovery just stuck on samsung logo) I've waited a good hour and still nothing. So I pull out the battery for it to shut down and than I straight try to boot into recovery and it just gets stuck on samsung logo and the blue letters don't even show up. Before rooting the recovery worked and I factory resetted the device before so samsungs knox does't interrupt with its not-being-able-to-boot-into-recovery-if-you-dont-know-the-password-to-the-samsung-account. And I'm now sitting here now with knox warranty ticked and not even rooted BUT I CAN STILL USE THE PHONE PERFECTLY WITHOUT TRYING TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY JUST BOOTS UP NORMALLY. So what I do than is reset the phones firmware with Odin from sammobile. Ok stock android. Than I try the Cf-auto root method with Odin. No luck phone just doesn't even boot up. So I reset the phone again same method. Ok stock android again. Sitting here reading through google for 8 hours 5 of thise spent on xda. STILL NO LUCK. So I hope someone can resolve the issue. I can't provide any pictures as I just rage closed my computer and didn't take pics. And if I install cynogenmod with heimdall is it going to be rooted (i know you don't need a root to do that) and can someone provide a guide to that heimdall cynogenmod install method?
Device: unlocked international - Samsung s6 - > SM-G902I never rooted!
i didnt do much with my phone. left it on my table and came back to check. its gone black screen unable to switch on.
thinking the battery drained, i connected it to my charger and then the battery logo blinks on and off.
no percentage number seen. no signs of it charging. just pops on and off.
next day, i tried turning it back on again. this time is the "SAMSUNG S6" logo thats on and off (i guess on bootloop?)
and on the top left corner of the screen a tiny red text says "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING"
Im so desperate to get all my data backed up! And the last choice would be to flash a new ROM and theres a high chance for data to be wiped out.
ive been trying ways to access my data before flashing a new ROM and i dont mind to pay for anyone who is expert at this and able to back up all my data!
This what i did:
- went to get it checked by technicians (they said motherboard is corrupted and no way of backing up the data - choice is to flash new ROM)
- Vol Up + Home + Power buttons (not working)
- Vol Down + Home + Power (works and it directs me to Download mode)
- i tried connecting it to PC via USB but PC will only detect it when its in Download mode. however not able to access any file from it.
- i tried installing DrFone data recovery and it doesnt work, my phone will start to go back to bootloop and my data recovery process gets interrupted.
- i tried using SmartSwitch but it says device not recognized/ although i have installed latest USB drivers for samsung s6
- i tried connecting it to ODIN and it is detected while on DOwnload mode. but im not gonna flash a new ROM just yet
now i have heard of this twrp or adb but im researching more on it.
please guide me on this!
if you have further suggesstions or advice id appreciate it.
i think the phone can be saved. but the data needs to be saved 1st! and no doubt, it aint easy!
