Hi everyone
I have a problem with my son's samsung galaxy s3 gt-I9300
He wanted to update the firmware to 4.4 kitkat and I don't know what he did but the phone is now stuck on the recovery screen
I've googled for hours for a solution and finally decided to ask for help
I've removed the battery and held power for 1 minute in case there was static somewhere.
Every time the phone is switched on it goes straight to the recovery screen.
I tried wipe cache partition and that didn't work and then tried a wipe data/factory reset and it's still not working.
As far as I know he installed odin and CWM.
If anyone could just help me get into the OS again that will be more than enough
Thanks in advance

Hi there!
This is my first thread here, so I apologize if i'm doing something wrong...
Yesterday i tried unrooting my Samsung Galaxy S5 (SG-900F) using a stock rom and ODIN.
When the flashing was almost over it stopped, saying there wasn't enough space (on the phone i guess).
Now i can't enter custom recovery anymore so i can flash a smaller rom, so that i can get the phone working and free up some space and try again.
No matter what i do the phone enters ODIN mode when i boot it up, even though i'm trying the different combinations of holding buttons in while booting...
Is my phone bricked or can it be saved?

hey, how's it goin chief, so the reason i'm posting this is because i'm having a pretty scary issue with my tab(Samsung galaxy tab s SM-T800). I have custom OS and the works installed and i noticed some problems with the system so i tried factory reseting as well as formating all data, now my device won't start it go's to the custom OS name screen then just reboots and keeps doing the same thing over and over. I used the power button, volume down, home button but all that does is take me to "a" downloading screen only giving me the option to install custom OS or restart tab(which when i do just does the thing in the sentence above) any idea's on reversing this or did I louse up good thx.

Well, hello guys. I'm new here and don't know if that's the right place to ask help for my phone so excuse me if wrong. So, my sister's phone, Doogee Turbo 2 DG900 yesterday "broke". As she was using it it crashed and it deleted most of her apps apart from 2-3. The Gallery doesn't open so I can check if the photos are still there and settings crash as well. She had a SIM and a SD card in if that helps. Anyway, when she returned home I tried to go into recovery so I can wipe cache etc off. Thing is, when I did it, it sent me to fastboot mode with the Android logo saying "no command". When I try to reboot it to the normal menu it still sends me back to Fastboot Mode. I tried every combination of buttons but I failed. Please help me. The PC won't detect it either.

So I rooted my phone,everything was sunshine and rainbows,until I got a system update and I wanted to unroot.I tried looking for all kinds of apps to unroot,but they did nothing.Until I found this app,it asked to reboot and everything,BUT,when I tried to boot the phone,it didn't get stuck in a boot loop,but in some kind of "forever booting".You know,the booting animation lasted forever.And to check I wasn't patient,I left it to boot over the night,and the next day IT WAS STILL BOOTING!Is it any way to fix it,I'm trying to boot into safe mode,but I do not know how.(By the way,my phone is a Vodafone Smart Speed VF-795.)

Hi all, my question prescinds from a phone particular model. The problem is that for some sort of software issue, the phone restarts itself after few seconds that rom unlock appear. I'm sure that is a sw issue because in recovery mode it stays alive and when he does the application update after a dalvik cache wipe, all goes well too!
It's not possible to enable usb debug because it restarts too soon and in recovery it's not possible to connect via adb. It's not a rooted phone.
What i can do before a factory reset?
