Hello,
For whatever reason, my samsung s6 edge doesn't work now. Everything was fine until yesterday. The device stay stuck on Samsung logo. I can't reboot the device in safe mode, the "installing system update" tell me "no command", and from the boot menu (I guess it is), the Wipe Cache option not work either.
I don't mind to loose the phone, I juste want to get back my photos / video , contacts and agenda (sync on the phone, not with a google account)
I'm an Android Developer, and I've tried to use ADB on first step but the device can't boot on Android so...
Do you know a program or something to help me troughout this ?
Many thanks
Louis

The "installing system update" and "no command" are associated to stock recovery, and the screen that shows the "Wipe Cache" option IS stock recovery, not a "boot menu". How can you say that you are an Android Developer if you don't know what android stock recovery is or looks like?
Your OS has become corrupted for whatever reason, you'll have to boot into download mode and flash the stock firmware via Samsung Smart Switch(smart switch also might help you recover your data) or flash stock firmware via Odin. If you use Odin to flash the device, make sure you flash the exact same version of firmware that you had on the device before this happened, as long as what you flash is not an upgraded or downgraded firmware, it shouldn't wipe your data when you flash it, the data "should" still be there.

Thanks for the answer. It's seems like Smart Switch no longer support "Software update and inisialization". So I should use Odin but I don't know with version of the firmaware I've use.

Hey Guys,
I tried to root my Nexus S (GT-I9020), which somehow worked, but now I cant access the recovery anymore, which holds me from flashing other MODs.
Since I'm quite new to the flashing and rooting business, I do not really know how to describe the precise state of my Nexus S, so I'm going to tell what I did step-by-step, hoping that someone will find the error and help me fixing it.
I bought my phone and updated it via OTA to 2.3.4 (GRJ22).
I used this guide on nexusshacks.com to root my phone. The guide tells me to unlock the device and flash a custom recovery (clockwork-3.0.0.0.img) and a custom boot (rootboot.img). I got both images from this homepage.
After flashing these two images, I rebooted my phone and it stuck on the Google Logo (but with a opened lock underneath). Comments show, I was not the only one.
In the comments, the user "Taboom" proposes to download the official full rom of 2.3.4 (Downloaded from this XDA-Dev Post), and flash the boot.img from that. It helped, my system was able to boot and it was rooted.
Although I have a rooted system, which works perfectly fine, I cannot access my recovery anymore. So I downloaded the "ROM Manager" from the Market, let it download clockwork 5.0.1.0 and install it.
When I try to reboot to recovery, I see the following: "Google Logo with opened lock" then "White box with arrow out of box and little Android next to it" then the white box is being replaced by the "Street sign with the Exclamation Mark and the little Android next to it"
Please help me to get back a working recovery. I don't care whether the phone is being whiped or set back to stock status.
Basically, getting to stock status and having the opportunity to start all over again would be great.
My Phones Info is:
PRODUCT NAME - HEARING
HW VERSION - REV 11
BOOTLOADER VERSION - I9020XXKA3
BASEBAND VERSION - I9020XXKD1
CARRIER INFO - TMB
SERIAL NUMBER 3233E.....
LOCK STATE - UNLOCKED
I hope somebody can help me,
thank you in advance.

you have to flash the recovery via fastboot, not via rom manager.
Like simms said you'd be best flashing through fastboot.
However, if you do want to flash through ROM manager, go into the settings and tick erase recovery before flashing.
On a side note I sent that guy a message a while back about removing an out of date boot.img from his site (as it's not necessary for "rooting") or at least add a disclaimer/notice but I see he still has not (leading to many people having a non bootable device). It's a shame he's so high in the Google search results.
Hey Guys,
thanks for your advices.
I used fastboot to flash the clockwork image I got from the CyanogenMOD Wiki [1].
Fun Fact:
When I flash the recovery, I can start it afterwards.
When I reboot to normal system und reboot again to recovery, it shows me the "Exclamation Mark and little Android" again.
But: Process is repeatable, so I can access my recovery once by flashing it.
Big (nooby) question now:
When I do a "wipe data/factory reset" and then flash the current CyanogenMOD, will this also flash a new boot.img?
Thanks,
Jay

Hey Guys,
I installed CyanogenMOD and now everything works fine. I'd like to thank you both for your help, it's now working as I desired!
"Fun Fact:

Flash recovery, boot into Android, use a root explorer, rename or delete (needs root) "install-recovery.sh" (it's in system/etc), boot into bootloader, flash recovery.

I am having some serious troubles with upgrading my Galaxy Note 4 SM-910P (Sprint). All was well in rooting, un-rooting, etc... I have the original 4.4.4 and the new 5.0 backed up and now I can't use anything other than the firmware the original firmware package through Odin. The problem started when I installed the [ROM]ViSiON-X N4 SPR 5.0.1 [Android L 5.0][N910PVPU1BOB7-R1][03-11-15]. It installed fine but when ever I was not watching it a problem occurred such as getting locked out of ny ext SD, or just plain un-rooting itself. It finally came down to it just kicked my device into download mode and would not reboot. I did used chains Odin root method and installed TWRP, which I can still do but can not flash or restore from TWRP or CWM recovery. It will take the firmware package fine and download the 5.0 update but always gets stopped from any other upgrade at recovery be it stock or custom. I have even used Kies to try and upgrade a few time. It will upgrade from NK1 to NK2 but still will not upgrade anything else past recovery. Every time I reboot I lose my WIFI password. After every boot it takes a minute for any network to be able to reach the device. It is paused until I re enter my WiFi password then it will say that Android is done upgrading and there is a toast message that says "device is set to factory mode some items won't work on this mode set device to user mode". Can someone please tell me how to set my device to user mode or erase what ever is lockled in my device between download and recovery. The issue I described with the device wanting to stay in download mode and how to handle it is described her http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59372208&postcount=3 but as I mentioned I can't get passed anything that is not firmware through Odin. If I had to be locked in one version forever I would have preferred it be 5.0
I figured it out

I fianlly figured out the deal with TWRP not flashing.
The change between file systems is what TWRP won't flash.
To flash into the new, the old, or back up property check the file type.
Ext 2, Ext 4, F2FS, etc ...
To get recovery to load install from odin with auto boot disabled, remove battery, than vol + - menu and power.
the steps below..
1. Power off (complete) boot to download.
2. Load Odin, uncheck auto reboot, PDA TWRP. after it installs pull battery to exit.
3. Boot to recovery - wipe- advanced wipe -Repairor Change File System - Check System (go thruough each)
4. Repair and change each to the file type you want to flash
5. repair and or change the files for the zip you are going to flash
6. you have done all the rest before ....
Issue resolved, thread closed, thanks.

5.1.1 means your phone has a sytem write protection, so it tried to reboot into recovery itself after auto-reboot => bootloop.
Do you have TWRP installed?
If not, flash Unikernel (you need a custom kernel with this bootloader) and TWRP, then use TWRP to wipe/factory reset and flash any ROM.

Use TWRP to wipe cache/dalvik and do a factory reset-
did you check the ROM you used was for your special device, and checked its md5-sum?
I personally would try downloading another one and flash again; once it works, do a backup in TWRP; very easy and done in 3mins.
Maybe you should try to manually log on to your network to see if this works first, in "network settings" tap the line to automatically choose your provider; should be it.
I used 4-file G920FXXU2COI1, after reboot phone not started so I flash Unikernel via Odin, now phone is turned on, but sometimes touchwiz was stopped, maps was stopped etc, phone find my network, but I can't logged
After wipe in TWRP phone stuck on Samsung logo
I was using package disabler pro to disable some Samsung apps, like galaxy apps, billing etc. I have had the phone like this for months without problem. Today I re enabled galaxy apps and rebooted phone and now my phone is boot-looping, stuck on samsung logo. I re flashed the EXACT same rom that is on there via ODIN, (XSA g920i) and it STILL boot loops. Normally this fixes problems like this. The phone is stock, uprooted. Don't tell me I have to factory reset it all?
Will not even boot up in safe mode.
This can be moved to the Q and A section but I also didn't realise you can soft brick your phone without root.
I am definitely sure it was re enabling some apps in package disabler pro that did it. Is there some way to ABD console re enable all apps or undo whatever the program has done?
I'm willing to install twrp recovery on the phone so I can mount system and undo whatever the program has done. Does anyone know what to alter?
$10 paypal for solution that doesn't involve loosing data.
If I factory reset, will I be able to recover the files on there like pictures and images with a program?
Install custom recovery, then mount you sd partition in recovery and connect to pc then move all your pics etc to pc, then factory reset

Yea Im aware I would be able to do that but I want to be able to undo the programs influence so I can boot into my phone again.
So I take it I use the latest twrp and just flash via odin? I dont need to also flash a custom kernel?
Yeah just flash recovery with odin, you could probably try using the file manager in recovery to delete the galaxy apps apk, or fixing permissions may work, or possibly wipe cache and dalvik and may be able to boot, the custom recovery gives you a few options
I contacted the dev and he said there is a way to fix it via ABD. The stock s6 mm recovery has an ABD option, is this the same as a proper abd when the phone is booted up, or does it only allow you to push signed files and updates accross?
So does this mean it is possible to fix the issue without flashing custom recovery?
Is there another section this can be moved to? Im surpised there isnt more information for such a popular app with a common problem.
I just realised I have reactivation lock enabled. Does this mean I CANNOT flash custom recovery? If thats the case I dont even want to try.
How to enable 'Android system' back?
Hello!
I have disabled 'Android system' in 'packagedisabler pro' in Samsung sm-9005 and now the phone is stuck with Samsung logo and stars during booting. The phone cannot boot. How to enable 'Android system' back?
Trying to get TWRP installed on an old S6 (with no SIM card), on the way to getting a newer Android on it.
Device is freshly factory reset, I do not believe that it has ever been rooted.
Per
, I have been using Odin to load twrp-3.3.1-0-zerofltespr.img.tar. Odin indicates success, but after that, if I try to get into recovery mode to use TWRP (volup+home+power), I get a blue "Installing system update" screen, then a "No Command" screen. It then drops into the stock Samsung recovery screen (zerofltespr7.0/NRD90M/G920PVPS4DRC2) instead of TWRP.
Did I miss a step? I saw something about the stock boot writing over TWRP, but the sequence of operations to avoid it did not make sense to me.
Found the missing step in
Needed to uncheck Autoreboot, then VOLUP+VOLDOWN+MENU+POWER.
