My GT-P5220 is bootlooping weirdly, cant enter recovery mode but download mode can - General Questions and Answers

Last week I factory reset the tablet in the settings app (normally), it works fine before I factory reset, but after I did the factory reset, the tablet keeps on booting on the samsung logo then to a android with something working on his stomach then android robot with a exclaimation mark on its stomach. Its keep happening over and over again. At first I thought it was one of the procedure to reset, but then I keep doing it for an hour so I turned the device off. I tried to enter recovery mode, but I cant. The only mode I could get into is Download Mode. So I found this method using Odin to recover. But it wont work also. Tried all kind of Stock ROM still wont work. Ive tried one ROM that made the boot loop different, instead of loop with android stuff like before, it just stays on the samsung logo. I have a video to show you the problem that Ive been facing
***search "Samsung Galaxy Mega GT-I9200 reboot loop, no recovery menu" on youtube***
since I cant share link with you guys
In my case there is no "No Command" words at the screen.
Any suggestion on solving this?

My Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus (GT-6200) suddenly died, help please!

The unit has been used for about 2 months and remains quite new. It was quite stable before. Yesterday night, about half an hour after plugged in for charging and with WiFi Hotspot turned on for sharing 3G data to another netbook, the unit suddenly rebooted itself. It then stopped at the start-up screen and remained there for several minutes. I kept holding the power button for a few seconds to turn it off but it then automatically reboot itself afterwards, and stopped at the start-up screen again. It means that even complete turning off is not possible.
Trying to enter into recovery mode showed the following few lines:
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Updating application...
Copying Common Apks.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then it automatically rebooted again. It means that it can't enter into recovery mode normally.
It was possible to enter into download mode. And it was the first time this machine went into download mode. I run Odin Downloader and flashed the official stock ROM. After showing "Pass", the device rebooted itself. Unfortunately, it still stopped at the start-up screen, just showing "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus". It is really troubesome. I have experience playing several Android devices before and it is the first time I face such troublesome problem.
The device is an official product. The biggest problem is that the original purchase invoice was lost and most likely that I couldn't get official support, repair service or replacement.
May I ask if anyone would kindly provide me some help or advice. Thanks!
Instead of going into download mode go into recovery mode and see if there are any errors. Your scenario is sounding very similar to the one I had in the past.
I just ran into a nasty snag at boot logo as well. nandroid, stock kernel and factory reset were no help. Try Odin back to Stock, it still may not get past boot logo, hold vol up and power to get into recovery and factory reset. Hope it works for you.
Unfortunately I was unable to get into recovery mode even after odin flashing stock ROM.
It rebooted itself a few seconds after displaying some lines of text. I can't see the normal recovery menu.

[Completed] [Q] i9100g recovery mode missing and download mode has an android with a 0 in it.

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 !

Stuck at 'powered by Android' screen after Anroid 6 OTA update

I finally got the message to update my phone to the andoid 6, after downloading and installing it rebooted and now hangs in the 'powered by android' screen. I cant get into the recovery menu, i did manage to get into download mode once but havent been able to do it again. I can't turn it off either, it just stays on.
I hope there is a way to fix myself, any tips are welcome!

One way you could fix your problem is to boot into recovery and factory data reset. Another option is to download ODIN and the firmware and flash. Otherwire Just using Smartswitch Emergency Mode on PC/MAC

Cant boot G2 into stock Android Recovery

Every time I try to put my D800 into recovery mode to run the ioroot jailbreak instead of loading the standard Android Recovery, it loads a white screen asking me for a factory reset. No matter how many times I try to redo the recovery mode it will not go into the proper screen.
The frustrating thing about this is that I've had the phone in the proper mode before and now it suddenly wont work, does anybody have a solution?

[Completed] LG G4 h811 unable to factory reset or enter download mode.

Hey guys,
Sorry if the answer to this found somewhere else, tried searching but foud nothing for my situation.
My buddy, who is a super basic user and was not attempting to do anything with his phone, has a G4 that suddenly stopped working and went into a boot loop.
We tried factory resetting it and it got about half way through the apps before stopping, going back into a boot loop and was unable to get back to the same point in the factory reset.
I tried flashing the ROM using LGUP to H811-20o and it said that it went successfully on LGUP as well as the phone itself, but after it rebooted it went back into a boot loop.
Now the boot loop goes faster but is still looping and we cannot get back into download mode to try again or potentially try a different ROM. It goes to the first screen of download mode with the 5 blue dots but doesn't get past that, I've removed the battery waited for a while in between attempts and still nothing.
We can get to the factory reset screen and click yes, it will then go to the green android guy with his cog wheels exposed but then immediately goes back into a boot loop.
Any help is appreciated, even if its just a confirmation of being SOL.
