Before you read my problem plz note that i am only 16 and i have very little knowledge about anything related to rooting.
I rooted my phone a month ago because i wanted to use Xmod for Clash of Clans. I tried using Kingroot but it didnt work so i installed TWRP using Odin through my pc. After that i flashed SuperSU and the phone got rooted.
I didnt want xmod anymore so i decided to unroot my phone. I wanted to install the stock recovery and i read that i can do this by flashing the recovery.img file using Flashfy. So when i flashed it the app said that i need to reboot my device. So i pressed reboot and the screen went blank. But it didnt reboot. The screen that says Samsung Galaxy J7, which comes whenever i reboot or restart my phone, shows up but doesnt change. It also says "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" on top of the screen. It started coming when i installed TWRP. Nothing happened when i long pressed the power button. So i took out the battery, put it back and did 3 things:
1) Switching it on using the power button,
2) Directly going to recovery, and
3) Putting it for charging without switching it on.
The same screen comes everytime. PLEASE tell me what has gone wrong as soon as possible and if there is a way to fix this. Thanks a lot in advance.

hi i have a samsung captivate i897. i bought it sim free from the states (u'm in uk) rooted running cyanogen mod & miui. i've had it 8months and its been perfect.
i'm no tech guru so i've never done anything else to the phone since i got it.
recently i hada problem with it forcing close on nearly application (see thread here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1936862) but i did a little clean up and uninstalled some apps to free up space and that seemed to help for 13 days.
today i powered it on and browser forced close so i switched if off but when i switched it on again it's now stuck in (i think its called) boot loop - i get the "samsung galaxy s" animation and cyanogen mod then i usually have one that says "xiaomi" and a little music sound play. its this one that keeps looping. so instead of getting the xiaomi animation & music once then it going to the lock/enter pin screen, it just continues to repeat.
i have no idea what to do.
i tried to long press power key but nothing happens.
really hope someone can help. i appreciate any help given but please bear in mind i'm a TOTAL NOOB at this kind of stuff so try to explain things as much as possible for me.
thanks.

Yes, you are stuck in a bootloop. Just boot into recovery and do a clean install.
Download TWRP recovery for your handset. then install using still recovery mode.
TWRP installing using current recovery mode
Installation methord:-
-use Your current recovery.
-update zip file(TWRP Recovery) from sdcard.
-ok
-Reboot your mobile.
-Then install your custom rom using latest recover mode (TWRP Recovery).

A custom recovery is quite likely already installed. Just do the key combination at boot (for your device) to boot into recovery mode. You'd only need that if you want to change the current recovery.

+1. I have a HTC One X that was stuck in bootloop a couple of days ago. I think I flashed some wrong files which caused this issue. I then followed the steps in the Android Revolution HD ROM thread and voila! - had a clean install running smoother than ever! I didn't mind losing all of my data (since everything was already backed up on my PC).
Just do a clean install and your phone will work perfectly fine.
I'd suggest you to start your phone in recovery mode and re-install the software (if you cannot backup your files).

Hi,
My Galaxy 3 suddenly stopped booting up (continuously shows Samsung logo) so I have decided to go for below options:
1. Install a custom rom (FROYO - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037459).
2. Steps to do that are given in above mentioned link. But do I need to root my device before doing that?
3. Go to samsung service center.
Have you encountered this problem this before, what would you suggest me?
instal custom ROM first.

Guys, Sorry for the late response.
I am able to access download mode but not recovery mode.
And I tried to install custom Rom (Froyo - ATROM20-I5801DDJP2.tar) but with no success. I used ODIN (apollo_0531.ops). The status in ODIN showed passed after approx 6 min and my phone rebooted twice during the process. The second time my phone rebooted and it seems to be hung during booting (It constantly displayed Samsung Logo endlessly).
Then I installed G3MOD kernel. After rebooting it opens G3MOD screen, the loading icon of G3MOD goes 100% but it gets stuck there.
Again I installed above mentioned custom rom but it shows the Samsung logo endlessly during booting.
My Question now is:
1. Do I need to root my phone first? ( I read that by using ODIN you do not need to do that separately)
2. As I mentioned I am not able to go to recovery mode(Vol button up and down both+Power+Home). Is there a problem with my phone. Were you able to do this?
3. What should I do next.

Why do you want to install custom firmware? It would be better to install (with Odin) stock samsung ecalir or froyo firmware, particulary if you plan to go to Samsung service center.
Rooting your phone wont help to resolve your situation.
If you are not able to access recovery mode, then there must be internal problem. Better go to Samsung Care. Or I wonder there is hard reset for SG3?
Thanks

I went to service center and they installed Froyo :victory:. I am wondering how did they do that when the recovery mode option was not showing up?
Anyways thank you guys for you suggestions :good:. One thing I noticed is that the Hindi fonts are not recognizable . Do you know how to resolve this? I read that rooting is required? is this correct?
Well I'm afraid I can't help you about Hindi fonts. But I was wondering how they solve this kind of issues where recovery itself is inaccessible?
Hi thanks for reading, I will tell you as quick as I can
Basically I got this Allwinner A31 Tablet Q102 and wanted to root it and flash it when I got it, so I got it only a week ago, week ago from tommorow.
I managed to root it with VRoot and then attempted to install CWM because ROM Manager would say that it isnt supported. So after tons of research I took the method of rooting an Onda tablet which was to use the ADB. I got the Recovery.tar extracted the files inside it and then did the
adb push /data/recovery.img
And stuff like that
After I did all that it told me to hold the VOL+/POWER to enter CWM, I held it for like 1 minute until CWM showed and it was working. CWM version was 6.0.2.7 I think. So I was like oh ok its working now. So then I rebooted the system using the first option CWM gave me. After it turned off it didnt turn back on. So I turned it on manually and all I see is a blank BLACK screen. Thats it. It hangs and does nothing. Cant enter Recovery, safe mode, the USB is not recognized. Infact it doesnt even connect anymore.
If I hold the power button, it turns off then once I let go it turns back on doing the same thing.
Please help me as I only just got the Tablet and can't afford to lose it. Theres too many files I need to keep, only some were moved to the SD card.

Hi, thanks for the replay, the business wouldnt replace it but they offered to have a look, I know its bricked so there is no point sending it there. I hear you can fix it in Phoenix Suite but I cant find the firmware for it.
Btw what should it be in, I had trouble sorting it lol

Took ages to find out, but its called an Allwinner Q102 something with YBC, Ive heard of a similar one called Allwinner A31s Yonestoptech and was also a Q102
Hey,
What's up with your tablet? I own the same model and was thinking about installing cyanogenmod, but I have no idea yet. Have you managed to figure something out, or found any way to repair it?
Cheers!
flash ??
Try to flash the stock ROM.......
Nah man, I can't do anything with it. Turn it on just a black screen. Holding the volume down button then pressing Tue power button a couple of times makes my computer detect the tablet. But nothing else.
I cannot enter CWM, after I flashed CWM it said Can't mount boot.IMG can't Mount this and that and then I restarted it and it happened.
SO DONT FLASH ANY CWM OR ROMS ON IT.
I really want the tablet fixed man. What the hell do I do?

@addy187a - Did you get it done?
I have the same problem.... - I installed successfully twrp, did a backup, wiped and tried to install another rom - failed. Now I am not able to boot into recovery - it is black, not recognized by the system (so I can't use imageburntool).
It starts, is black illuminated, nothing happens, only power is possible
my device: Fusion5 F5CS 32GB, Q102, 32GB
..no idea what to do...
Hey, I know I'm 1 year late to reply but I only just logged in to XDA since ages! I know right? Anyway, the way I fixed it was to download the firmware for the tablet which I found out by keeping a note about tablet model number (Settings> About device> Model) and spent a couple minutes searching for the firmware for it. Then I used Phoenix suite or just Phoenix can't remember what it was called to flash the tablet. There are plenty of YouTube videos and instructions on the web of how to use it, I can't remember how I did it as this was over a year and a half ago! It's as simple as that and words cannot describe how relieved I felt after reviving it. If an admin sees this, please close the thread. I'm still finding out how to use this site.
hey all,
i was trying to root my note 2. ive done this once before but this time something went wrong. everytime i tried rooting it( through odin), it showed pass but whenever i tried to open super su, it said super su couldn't find binary *something* and its unable to create one. and a notification kept popping up saying that an unauthorized access to some secure files or areas has been blocked. so i tried rooting again and again but nothing happened. then my friend told me to factory reset my phone. i did as told. but now my phone is stuck at the samsung logo. i thought it may start later but i left it there for 2 hours and still the screen shows the samsung logo and the blue notification led light
please help me. also my custom binary download counter has reached to 13
so please please please help me ASAP. I cant afford to buy a new phone at this moment. also i know this is just a software problme so i dont wanna waste my money by giving my phone to the service center. So please you guys help me. :'(

Here's an unbrick tutorial: http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unrootunbrick-galaxy-note-2-with-stock-firmware/
Report back on how it went.
i will try that for sure but i forgot to mention one more problem, while i try to access my recovery mode by using home+ volume up + power button, nothing happens. only my screen flickers for some time and then i get back to the samsung galaxy note 2 logo. if i leave the button, my screen( above the home key, back key and options key) vibrates but nothing on display.
I think you only need download mode to unbrick, not recovery

If you want root you're probably better off flashing TWRP through ODIN and then flashing supersu.zip using TWRP.
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
So here is what happened.
I wanted to upgrade my android 4.3 to newer versions. I rooted my phone using kingoroot. It said it was successful. Then using TWRP manager app I tried to install the latest recovery image for samsung galaxy s3 i9300. It told me that it failed and that i could reboot now. i selected that but the app hanged (the rest of phone was working fine). then i manually restarted the phone using power button. it did restart but the screen remained black and the led (which glows red while charging) turned on and was changing shades of blue. I waited a bit then took out the battery. After that the phone is not turning on at all. I tried the soft and hard reset (pressing vol up+ home+ power button) but no luck. When i connect the phone to my laptop it gives a notification sound (ding!) but nothing more.
Please help me bring back my dead phone.
P.S: All this just to play pokemon GO
