Ok, so i did something very stupid tonight...I was running cm7 #30 and was frustrated with the random reboots so I decided to try and flash the hybrid sgs2. I was on clockworkmod 4x. did the whole flashing thing and when i rebooted it got into a boot loop. Ok well the OP said it worked on cwm3x not 4 so I got into download mode and flashed Vibrant_GB.tar.md5 figuring that i could just get into recovery 3x. Alas i was a dumbass and now my phone cannot get into either recovery or download mode. I have tried the method of holding down the volume buttons while cable is attached while i insert the battery and that does not work. Any suggestions?
If you have the gb bootloader, have you tried the button method from adyscorpius' thread to get into recovery?
Vol up + power
OMG! i love you
hello....im having the same problem but the issue is when i try to reboot into recovery mode i get this screen that saids
POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE
i dont know what this means and when i try to get it into download mode my laptop seems to not be able to read it ......

I'm trying to fix a friend's note(sgh-i717r) and it won't boot into recovery. When pressing the button combo, it just keeps vibrating and when I let go it's stuck on the samsung logo. I can still go into download mode and flash different custom recoveries or firmwares with odin but I can't get past the samsung logo.
I'd really appreciate some advice because my friend can't even use his phone at all until then.
Is your power button getting stuck? ?
This problem is very common ...and the device just loops ...g
I don't think so since I can get into download mode without problems
What button combo are you using? Make sure you let go of the power button after the first vibration and continue to hold volume up and down or it will keep vibrating.

With the right combo...even a device that is stuck, is not really stuck, as the same combo will boot you to either the recovery, or the DL mode.....
Are you sure that recovery is present ??
You did mention that a flash of recovery was successful, but have you seen it ??....as it may have failed, even though odin says "pass"....g

For download mode I use power + vol down, and recovery I use power + vol up + vol down and after the first vibrate I let go of everything except vol up. I was able to enter into recovery before trying to flash superuser but now it's stuck.

The recovery is there as I used it to try and flash superuser but it gave me an error about an incorrect md5(and I know it shouldn't be giving that problem because I used the superuser file from the stickies that the majority of people had no problems with) so I tried using the latest version of twrp instead of cwm.
Well...
I suggest you go into download mode, and push a factory image to the device via Odin, and start over completely...
It's looking like the device has a bad recovery image, but if DL mode is still there, you are able to save it by a restore.....
Go into the super thread at the top of the general section, and scroll down the first post to the restore area, and you will find the links and instructions to put the device back to stock, and re-root....
At least that way, you know where you started from, and the device will get cleaned out for a fresh try again....g
Well I was undervolting and underclocking my i9100 for a few months and it would suffer from freezes and stuff like that nothing much as I would be able to perform a hard reset and reboot with my phone completely working everytime that happens. However today, I just locked my phone after taking a picture and I could not unlock it after that. I pressed the power button and home button but the screen would not turn on. So i just took out the battery and tried booting the phone. It was stuck in a bootloop where the boot animation would just keep on playing. So i force shutdown it and booted it into recovery. I had CWM 6.0.4.6 installed and when i booted into recovery, it gave me the message it cannot mount something and cannot load last kmsg and blah. I took no notice and tried to format cache. During this point, the recovery hanged and i force shutdown my phone again. After which, I could never turn on my phone again. No splash screen no nothing. I think it is bricked. And yea btw my usb port is not working anymore and it can only be used for charging. And i was running cm11 infected. Can you all please help me thanks!
so no recovery nor download mode?
Sadly, no

Yep i cannot even boot into anything no splash screen no nothing pressed the power button for like so long i even removed the battery for 2 hours and popped it back in not working
Try this - take out battery,then press and hold volume down+home+power and put battery back without releasing buttons.This may get you into a download mode where you can flash stock jb via odin.
Hello! I don't know where i should post this since the UMI X3 device isn't on this site, so i just post it here...
I installed a custom rom, now it's bootlooping.
If i turn it on it will show the little boot splash screen, then the screen will go black and usually it would show the boot loading screen but it doesn't, it reboots again to the boot splash screen.
I tried searching on google, but none of the forum posts actually helped me.
I try to holds down the power button and the volume up button at the same time, but it will just do the same bootloop thing.
The home button is a touch button, and i actually already tried holding down on that but it didn't work.
I also tried holding power button and volume down, and i tried holding all the buttons down at once (power + volume up and down)... also no succes.
Now it used to work, i got into some chinese bootloader before i installed this rom.
So, basicly it won't get into any recovery. I did install clockworkmod recovery actually and it did work, yet i needed to launch it via mobile uncle tools to get into it. I think im totally ****ed now...
Pleace, is there ANY way to solve this problem?
Problem in a nutshell:
Boot looping splash screen, can't get into recovery mode. (PS: i also tried to connect it via USB but it won't find my phone...)

UPDATE:
I'm now able to get into recovery mode!
However i can't mount usb.
Same problem

Hi Kyriano,
I have the same problem after installing the cynogenmod, does your phone work now. How did you get in the recovery mode??
posible solution
Hi,
After struggling with this issue all day i found a quite simple solution.
The cause of the bootloop in my case was the simcard. So this is what i did:
1. remove simcard tray
2. Turn the phone off and on
3. If everything is ok the bootloop stopped, if not try to reboot again
4. Download mobileuncle in the playstore
5. Open the app click on; into recovery mode
6. Recovery will open and then hopefully you made a backup.Restore it and voila!
If you did not make a back try to flash the official umi ROM.
I hope this solved your problem to.

Hey! So in short I've managed to software brick my a20e.
As soon as you turn it on it goes to "an error has occurred while updating the device software use emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software" but the device is not recognised.
So I did the logical thing of going to Odin, downloaded stock ROM anddd.. doesn't let me boot to download mode. I'm stuck on "an error occurred" screen.
Any ideas on a fix for this?
You can either drain the battery by just letting it boot loop/error screen then give it a little charge and see if it goes into download mode. Or see if it will go into recovery mode that would not require a PC USB connection.

K the fact Recovery is gone is kinda bad but the last time I bricked a phone it took me a while to get it into DL mode due to the button combo and make sure it has a couple of % of charge so if you get it stuck again you can boot loop it dry and try again. Also, consider if still possible to install TWRP and a custom ROM TWRP is more reliable in humble opinion for recovery.

As soon as I plug in a charger it turns straight on to the error, power+ vol up+down just reboots the phone back to error can't get to download mode at all.
I checked the combo is turn on then hold volume up + volume down + insert USB. I use this tool so I do not charge the phone: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32977246421.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.6dd94c4dMbXeKj
And the combo can be found here: https://www.hardreset.info/devices/samsung/samsung-galaxy-a20e/download-mode/
Hello,
I have just tried to flash my SAMSUNG A20e with TWRP trough ODIN.
I have put the phone in developer mode and did all the things acording to the tutorials. I rebooted through bootloader and tried to upload the TWRP file. At first, it didn't quite work - it always failed in ODIN. Then I tried one that finally worked (ver. 3.3.1-0) but when I tried to boot into TWRP it is just stuck on the loading screen with the TEAMWIN logo and thats it. I have tried to restart it, connect it back to the PC, get to the recovery, leave it for a long time ect., but nothing helped. I cannot even turn it off - when I press and hold the power button or power and volume up buttons together nothing happens. When I try to pres and hold power + volume down buttons it restarts and it gets back to the loading screen with the logo.
If you have any more questions let me know.
Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem can you help me please??
I suggest to flash a matching version of TWRP over the existing one.
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery <TWRP-IMAGE-NAME.img>
If this fails to boot into TWRP, try
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot boot <TWRP-IMAGE-NAME.img>
This should reboot the device into TWRP directly and from there you should be able to reboot to recovery again as this is is not a permanent TWRP.

I got the same issue...
There is no adb or fastboot connection when in TWRP splash...
The only solution in my mind is to wait for the battery to drain out and then boot into download mode (vol UP + vol DOWN + usb cable connect).
Will wait and report back
Edit: And BOOM! Done!
Downloaded official firmware, flashed via Odin and it's alive again!
I'm having a similar issue but I am unable to get to download mode or boot the phone, my computer doesn't connect to it in the current state it is in.
the phone has been recovered from this state but the person that did this is very busy now and doesn't get much time to hang out anymore, if I don't get an answer before I contact him ill update my post with a fix for anyone else that is having the same issue.
edit: ok so I feel like an idiot as my cable only did charging as I don't have my original cable so I found another cable and it was all good.
