[Q] Stuck on Samsung logo, best option for me? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I can't seem to power this off.
Unless I'm doing it wrong, can't seem to get it into recovery.
I haven't rooted this, all stock, but I think ****ed up by using the Package Disabler.
Is reflashing and wiping my only option?
Would like to save my data obviously, most is backed up I think.

Just enter download mode (vol down + power) - then reboot holding vol up and power, should get you into recovery.

or just do a factory reset and i hope you backed up all your apps in the samsung cloud because thats a easy restore after problems like thisl

sometimes you have to try dozens time to get into recovery mode...

So I can get into:
Downloading mode
Recovery mode
Can't get into Safe Mode
I know how to wipe and start fresh, but anyway to save my stuff from Downloading mode or Recovery?

No, no way to save your stuff. But maybe this is a good lesson so that in the future you always do a backup to the samsung cloud before disabling system apps or any tweaking to the system

Just flash the same stock ROM over the top with ODIN (AP section only), you won't lose anything

[Q] Help!
Okay. So i just rooted my phone yesterday and i flashed a ROM. Well I forgot to backup all my apps and such. So I went back into CWM and I cleared data and flashed my nandroid recovery file. That completed successfully, so I push restart system at the top. Well now it is just stuck in the boot screen and won't do anything. How do I fix this! HELP!

I can't get into CWM either. It just keeps rebooting and getting stuck on the boot screen.
For getting back to CWM, pull the battery (USB unplugged) so it turns off fully, put the battery back in, hold the volume up and down both on the left, and turn it on (hold power until you see something, let go of power but keep holding the volume keys). Once you see CWM come on, you can let go of the volume keys.
You flashed what from what? If what you flashed isn't the same major OS version, the nandroid backup is probably only going to be helpful through Titanium Backup or some other program since you won't be able to flash it successfully.

Ok so I tried to get back into CWM and it was unsuccessful. It just gets stuck on the boot screen still. I flashed my 2.3.6 stock rooted nandroid backup from this custom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404863 . I can still get to recovery mode just not CWM. Any ideas?
Okay... recovery mode but not CWM... what does that mean?
CWM IS recovery mode. Are you trying to get into download mode instead? For that, battery pull, battery in, plug in USB to computer, hold volume... up (I think), turn on (power button until the screen lights up), let go of power, should be in download mode.

Yeah.. I meant i couldn't get into recovery mode but I can get into download mode. Do you think this would get my phone working again? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
Working as a phone, yes. If you can get into download mode, you should be able to flash stuff. If you flashed from Froyo to GB-custom, use the one-click twice... first to get the basic ROM over, then tell it to do bootloaders as well. If you flashed from GB to GB-custom, then you only need to flash once.
I'd suggest using the second link, BWaT+stock. Basically, from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822626
If you have any problems, make sure you're following the guide fully:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21953878&postcount=2
After you get it booting up with root, you can extract apps from the nandroid using Titanium Backup or something else similar.

Boot to the recovery and factory reset.
If still no go, use Odin to flash cwm and boot to it and do a factory reset, wipe cache, and davlik cache.
And again, if it still wont boot get into cwm again and do a full wipe (all of the previous wipes and format /system), then rerun Odin to flash the stock firmware.

I didn't see your edit down there.
To get in into the recovery, with the phone off, hold both the volume up and down (the whole rocker) and the power button until you see the recovery.
If your having issues getting into Download mode take a look at these tips. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27360727&postcount=57

The phone just keeps to vibrate nonstop as I keep doing that. (Entering recovery mode) it doesnt seem to work.
Should I try ADB to force it into download mode? (If so, HALP? )
EDIT AGAIN: Im a ****ing idiot, I forghot to put the USB so I didnt go into download mode.
NOW when I try to flash something with Odin, it just detects but thenI start the process, it tells me it failed and then its not detected. . Using 1.8.5 by K0nane

You have to release the power button when the samsung logo appears. It should enter recovery then.

Turned Off Galaxy S3 Recovery Mode Without Home Button

Hi Guys,
How to recovery mode on my turned off galaxy s3 without broken home button. Have you any advice?
Thanks,
Without or with? If its working then power+home+volume up. If not working there should be a work around with adb you would have to look for.

Does your power button work? why can't you boot the phone into system where you can use apps? Did you format the system partition when you were in recovery? Did you wipe the internal sdcard? If you have $3-4 USD you can buy a USB jig on eBay, it is a device that forces the device into download mode without the buttons. Then flash the stock firmware.

Only home button doesnt work on my phone. Initially the device had Archidroid. I deleted wipe and cache files in recovery mode for flash the stock rom then i mistakenly switched off phone. So i cant boot the phone into system and three button. In this case it will work?
Thanks.

Get a USB jig or make one, look up the YouTube videos for how to do it, the jig will force your device to download mode so you can fix it, they are very cheap, easy to get and easy to use, all you do is plug it into the USB port on the device and it boots straight to download after 2-3 seconds. Don't worry with trying other stuff and possibly making your device worse,,use the jig, its guaranteed to get you going.

How to copy data from android phone to computer when phone stuck at logo screen?

How to copy data from android phone to computer when phone stuck at logo screen?
Basically it stop going further, it stays at where you see the logo.
I can go to recovery mode, and clear cache etc.
Just want to copy some data from the internal memory before factory reset.
Anyone has experience on this?

Why you can't go into recovery mode ? Do you use correct button combination ?
RossTeagan said:
Try to enable USB debugging and install ADB on your PC then you should be able to access your phone with these steps:
- Connect the phone to a PC, using a USB cable
- Boot your phone into ClockworkMod Recovery, by pressing and holding the Power Button + Home Button + Volume Up or Down
- After loading ClockworkMod Recovery, check if the ADB connection is running, by opening a command prompt on your PC and typing adb devices
Now your phone should be connected and you can access your data.

Does it work if i dont have the ClockworkMod and has access to the stock Recovery Mode only?
Perhaps i install CWM recovery by using the current recovery.

Can't get into Download mode

Doesn't matter what i do, if i press vol down + home + shutdown, i get the screen where it says that i'm going to install a custom OS and i have to press vol up to continue to access to the Download mode or Vol down to restart, well, seems my S6 gets frozen in that screen and i cant access to that download mode, i can access to the recovery, but odin never recognize my device when is in recovery, only when is turned on. So i can't install anything since i can't enter to download mode.

Assuming everything is stock, stock recovery and stock rom, have you tried booting into recovery and performing a factory reset? If you're able to boot into the operating system you may want to enable USB debugging in Developer Options first.
