Ok here's what happened...
I had Viper 1.3 running ok.... so I decide to give chainfire3d a try.. and install the nvidia drivers 1st...
It didn't make splinter cell work so I decided I'd uinstall it... after I put the original drivers back....
I installed the qualcom driver thinking that was it... Then I uinstalled chainfire3d.
Now when I boot my phone its totally black.
I think I can fix this if someone guides me through the recovery or guides me through wiping & re-installing viper.
Method 2 would be alot quicker, but worst case scenario,
I still have a nand backup but its on my computer.. So I'd need to boot into recovery.
And then access the sd card.. & then navigate to load it.
Great news I'm access the sd card right now and puttin the nand image back.
The only thing now is when I boot into recovery if I even make it that far, all I see is a black screen. No flash, the keys don't light up, & the power led blinks red once.
....
30 minutes later... I can boot into recovery but I can't see. Using a youtube video I mounted the sd card & have the viper rom ready to restore after I wipe it.
But I need directions on which keys to hit & the number of times.
I have just clicked wipe & something... the 3rd selection then I hit enter... Plz help
Try putting the PC86IMG.zip for TWRP back on the root of your sdcard and reflash that in the bootloader. If that all goes well, you should have a working recovery. Let me know how it goes, I'm going to bed soon so if I don't answer, I will check this thread in the morning. Best of luck!!
Can you give me the next instructions on which buttons to hit..
How many times do I hit volume down to accept yes I want to wipe it?
Or if I need to restart and choose another option.... because I already selected wipe & hit power.

How do you know that it's actually doing anything? Seriously, try what I suggested and flash TWRP from the bootloader, I have a feeling that will fix it for you. If not, you can also do the factory reset from the bootloader.
already tried factory reset... & can you navigate me to flash
All I have to go on is this youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmQswv3vKrU
I already restarted my phone into the boot menu
Its not working -_-
.. I went to sleep and its working now
My Amaze 4G won't turn on...
So this is what has happened:
- I rooted my phone following the guide on this forum and installed recovery successfully
- I then flashed BeastMod 2.3.0
- Wiped out everything, then I tried to turn on my phone it would be stuck on the HTC screen when you first turn the phone on. (only thing that was able to be booted was the bootloader and recovery)
- I was like CRAP! What did I forget?! Then I was like I think I read something about kernel... I was like crap...
- I took the SD card plugged it into my MyTouch 3G Slide and downloaded BeastMod 1.3 (I think, the one without needing a kernel).
- I then proceeded to install it through Recovery. It installed.
- To my amazement, it worked I was like YESSSS.
- Then I proceeded to install the Faux Kernel v007 and then BeastMod 2.30
- IT WORKED, I got to witness the lockscreen of the beastly BeastMod 2.30!!! I was like this is amazing. Then I was like I think it said a full wipe.
- So I went back into the recovery. I wiped/formated everything it let my format/wipe. I was like clean install FTW. (I don't know if I should've)
- To my dismay, when I rebooted it. ONCE AGAIN THE HTC SCREEN ARGHHHH. So I tried factory resetting it (which I don't know whether or not it does bring me back to stock YIKES...)
- Then I was like its late at night, I should go to sleep. I took out the battery. Put it back in. Plug it into the wall charger and went to sleep. I thought I would fix this problem tomorrow.
- Now when I woke up a few hours ago... my phone is not turning on. It was clearly plugged in and everything to the wall charger. Orange LED light on when I plugged it in. I searched this up on Google to no success in solving this problem.
Currently while writing this post I have taken my battery off for 10 minutes to see if it resets the phone's battery stats, etc.
I have some experience of knowing how to root and flash. I have flashed a MyTouch 3G slide (a bunch of times), a G2, and a G2x. The G2x experienced the same not turning on problem, but it was fixed somehow after a while.
The ultimate question is... how do I fix my Amaze 4G by getting it to turn back on and successfully flashing the latest BeastMod (which I have heard has beastly battery life) with a 100% clean install?
Oh and when I have it plugged into my computer. It keeps having that beep (repeatedly in an interval of 5 - 7 seconds) when you first plug the usb in to the computer.
EDIT (QUICK UPDATE): My phone is back on. I frantically pressed the power button like no tomorrow and it finally turned on, but its still stuck on the HTC screen. Right now I'll try reflashing BeastMod 2.30. Hopefully it works. :/
EDIT: ON BOOTLOADER, it says:
"battery voltage is too low
please change a battery."
bad battery already... the heck?

Get back into recovery and wipe battery stats. Should be fine afterwards.

Remember, if you can get into Recovery...you're OK!!!! Relax! It still sounds like you're shooting in the dark a bit (i.e. could have read up a little more before you took the leap), but...
1) Bad battery issue - really doubt it. It probably drained...why you might ask?
2) Which leads into the question of which Recovery did you install? Some of them apparently have "charging" issues. That might have contributed to the "battery voltage is too low please change a battery" message.
In any case, if you can charge the battery/swap with one of your friends with a compatible one (Sensation and Evo3D I think use the same battery), try that out. Or, try your luck at charging it some. Again, if you can get to Recovery, 99.99% of the time, you aren't screwed.

I always thought you have to wipe (cache, dalvik and factory reset) prior to flashing ROM because the ROM installs into the freshly wiped partitions.

This is actually a very easy to fix issue.
You read that you needed to wipe after the phone was already on. You the proceeded and wiped/factory reset.
- After you do that, everything erases; therefore, you do not have a ROM installed in your phone anymore.
So the fix is:
1) Go into recovery
2) Wipe/factory reset (yes again, idk what you might have done)
3) Wipe cache
4) Advanced / wipe dalvik cache
5) Adcanced / wipe battery stats
5) Install .zip from SD card / choose .zip from SD card
6) Beastmod.zip (or whatever it might be called)
7) Restart the phone... it all works.
(You don't exactly have to do all those steps, but I would suggest you do to start your phone 100%% fresh for the new rom)
Enjoy!

I tried all the instructions (except for flashing a new ROM, since I can't get the ROM to flash...) and it's still stuck on the HTC main page, when it first starts...
Help?
Download stock recovery and search for relock bootloader and search for stock ROM. Go to your hot boot and download stock recovery, after relock and put your stock ROM on your SD card. And the phone is going to boot on the factory (the same as you bought the phone).

This Happened to me..
I used command prompt and brought the device to the recovery mode and flashed the rom. Now the phone runs ICS and works like a charm.
You need to download android sdk for windows/mac or whatever OS you have on our computer and install it.
1. Download and copy a ROM or TWO on your microSD and put it back in your Amaze.
2. Open the Command Prompt.
3. Type adb devices and hit "Enter"
4. It should display HTC device
5. type adb reboot bootloader
6. Use the volume button to move to "recovery" and select it by pressing the power button.
7. Then select the install zip from SD card.
8. Select one of the ROM's from your microSD and once the install is Complete, hit the return arrow at the bottom of your phone's home screen and press power button to select "reboot phone now".

uhg, i came across this thread after searching google. my amaze is down. i cant read the screen because it isnt back lit. i am using my co-workers iphone LED "flash-light" to be able to barely read it. i have done all of this:
1) Go into recovery
2) Wipe/factory reset (yes again, idk what you might have done)
3) Wipe cache
4) Advanced / wipe dalvik cache
5) Adcanced / wipe battery stats

he has 5.0.2.6 recovery flash my latest one 5.5.0.4 with working charge off
I purchased a Dragon Touch A1X 10.1" in hope of rooting and learning about flashing roms. I think I didn't realize how out of my depth that I am in.
Right now when I power on my device it shows the dragon touch logo for a few moments and then goes straight to an animated Android waving at me. It does nothing else. I let it sit over hours and it still waves at me. If I boot into the recovery I can wipe and format to factory settings, but that does not make it work again.
I did do some searching and reading. I went to tabletexpress to get the img and the tool to get my tablet up and running again. When I run LiveSuit or PhoenixUSB and I choose the proper img file the program never changes it's red light to a green light, which it is supposed to do.
I really did not want to post here. I wanted to figure it out myself. But after several days of no progress I do not know what else to do.
Any suggestions?
[EDIT] I didn't mention that I can boot to the Android system recovery. The options provided are (1) reboot system (2) apple update from ADB (3) wipe data/factory reset (4) wipe cache partition (5) apply update from internal storage (6) apply update from external storage (7) apply update from cache-no command. I hope this helps someone understand better where I am at.

How did you get yours in Recovery Mode? Please tell me! I did the same thing you did in your post!
I am sorry I didn't reply sooner. I don't check my email often enough. While the power is off, hold down the volume down button and then turn on the tablet while still holding down the volume down button. The tablet will boot into the recovery mode. From there you can wipe it. I did that and the tablet still didn't boot up. I contacted Dragon Touch they sent me to there support site. Google "tablet express support". It is the top link. Download the firmware from there. Then I:
1) turn the tablet off then
2) when the tablet is off press and hold down either volume button
3) while holding the button down plug the tablet to you computer via USB
4)while the tablet is plugged in AND you are still holding down the volume button press and release the power button 3 times
This puts the tablet in a firmware update mode. I don't know what else to call it. Then their site says to use the Phoenix USB program to restore but that didn't work for me. Livesuite did work for me though, and it took me way longer than I care to admit to find it. I didn't know to go looking for it. Google "livesuite" and it is the top result. Run Livesuite while the tablet is still connected and point the program to where you downloaded the firmware. From there it was smooth sailing for me.
I would imagine that you have fixed your problem by now or moved on, but I still wanted to respond in case someone else comes along looking for this info. I hope that this helps somone.
PS: I can't post links so that is why I made google suggestions to help you find the links I used.

I know the post is a few months old but I thought to try. I went to the support page, but when I click to download the firmware it gives me a 404 error. Do you by any chance have kept the firmware?

kingo root app works to root.
Hopefully someone can help me, my child has a Pendo Pad 7 Model no.PNDPP44QC7 with Kitkat 4.4 and it ended up with lots of malware/viruses and barely usable. This tablet only has a power button and no other buttons so I did not know how to boot into recovery mode to do factory reset and after trying reset through settings which made no difference so I gave the device ROOT access so I could try and delete the malware etc but of course i did not do any sort of backup and did not add CWM or TWRP recovery. I ended up deleting something wrong and now the device just hangs on the Pendo logo screen. I have since worked out how to boot into Recovery Mode and also Fastboot mode now but a bit too late I tried to do a wipe data/factory reset and this made no difference still hangs on Pendo logo.
I can't seem to find a CWM or TWRP image file to suit the tablet and possibly try putting tablet into fastboot mode and using ADB on computer and flash the recovery to tablet. ???
in recovery mode options i get are
apply update from ADB
apply update from sdcard
apply update from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
backup user data
restore user data
but i can not seem to find any correct files to work with this tablet any help to get this tablet working again would be much appreciated Thanks
Good day! how did you manage to boot into Recovery Mode or Fast Mode?
After pressing the power button and seeing the display turn on. Keep spamming the power button and a menu will pop-up on screen with boot options. Short press of the power button cycles through the options, long press selects the option.
Mine was also stuck on a boot loop, even though I had not played around with any settings or tried to root etc. I was able to revive it by going into recovery mode and doing a factory reset.
Hey OP I've got hold of the same tablet I'm working on getting a rom dump atm. Bare with me I'll try and send a link for the img. If u can get into recovery mode where u can update zip. That's good if not try and via pc. Once u have a link to the tablets boatloader, rest is history.
Hi,
Wondering if I can follow up on this.
Mine is stuck on the PENDO boot screen, and I have tried the reset button, as well as the se commands PENDO suggested....
1. Press On/Off Switch (Power), wait for the Pendo Logo start up screen, and then press On/Off Switch (Power) twice right away.
2. Factory mode menu comes out after 10 seconds, two fingers touches panel together to move to select the one like the following picture shows (no need to understand the Chinese words, just follow through as what the picture shows)
3. Press On/Off Switch (Power) and the following picture below will show, press On/Off Switch (Power) again to proceed on Recovery Mode, and wait for system to restart.
Unfortunately, nothing still happens.
ADB will not reveal what device it is, nor will Win 10 recognise the device for it to show in Device Manager or connected devices.
Windows responds with a ding ding, but nothing shows up.
I am stuck, and any info gladly accepted.
Thanks
bump please

not working in my pendotab window 8
Hi,
I could get no further with mine, the same as you.
I contacted Pendo Support, and explained it would work but not boot, I even asked for the image file so I could reload it in recovery mode, however, they did not have access to it, the Chinese manufacturer had not made it available to them.
As I described it was not damaged, but simply not working, they agreed to send me a replacement, even though it was out of warranty, as really, as I said to them, it was not fit for purpose.
I had to send the old one back, but they sent me a satchel in which to do so, at no cost to me.
They sent me the new one very promptly.
Hope is not lost,

My Tab S6 tried to auto-install an update yesterday (it is rarely connected to Wifi/internet). It then rebooted. Since then, it's been stuck in a boot loop.
It will display the "Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 | Secured By Knox" logo screen for a few seconds, then switch to the blue "Installing System Update" screen (with the android logo). Installing System Update gets to 28% and stops. Then the rotating icon on the android freezes. Then the device reboots and starts all over again.
Edit: the tablet is 100% stock. It's not been rooted or had any custom ROMs loaded.
I have tried getting to recovery mode, by holding power+volup while it boots. This doesn't seem to change the behavior at all. Any advice is much appreciated.

can you shut it down? try volume down and power button ? if it don't shut down, do this soon as it reboots, hold volume up and down and plug in usb cable to desktop/laptop usb port! it will boot into download mode!

I can't actually shut it down. If I start holding power+voldown right after it boots, the tablet does reboot before getting stuck at 28%. But it reboots--it doesn't power off.
I tried download mode and that actually seemed to work! Specifically, I left the tablet overnight in the reboot loop until the battery drained. Just now, I held down volup+voldown and plugged it into my laptop. I got the green "Warning/Custom OS" screen and then pressed volup to continue. The tablet rebooted pretty quickly after that (I'm guessing due to low battery) so I didn't get a good look at the download mode options.
Once I'm in download mode, can I factory reset the tablet? I don't need to preserve any data/apps/settings.

You cannot reset the tablet from Download mode afaik- You need to enter Recovery Mode to do that.
You can however, flash stock from Download mode using Odin (3.13.3 is best). If you're not confident with doing that, your best option is Factory Reset in Recovery Mode. Hold Volume Up and Power when the Tablet is booting, let go when you see the Samsung logo. The timing can be tricky, but you should be able to do it. Also, you can force a reboot with Volume Down and Power.
Alternatively, if factory reset doesn't work, since you're completely stock, you will still be covered under warrenty.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried this many many times. I've tried letting go of the buttons at different times. I've tried holding volup while letting go of power. I've tried this a ton of different ways, and no matter what, the tablet always shows the "Installing system update" screen. Some googling has led me to believe that sometimes, when performing a factory reset, the "Installing system update" screen shows up right before the normal recovery screen. Is it possible that the tablet is trying to get to recovery mode, but can't get past this first step?

Honestly, I don't know - I'm not an expert but I guess it's possible that the update failed and corrupted both System and Recovery.
You'll be covered under warrenty, so maybe just return the Tablet from where you purchased or direct to Samsung, could take a while given the current situation though I guess. If you have a PC, then I think the best option would be to just flash stock yourself, since that's probably all Samsung will do. Even if that doesn't work you'd still be covered under warrenty, as far as I'm aware attempting to flash stock doesn't trip Knox.
Here is solution to unbrick your device!!!

Despair not...I have just come from resolving this exact situation not 30 minutes ago. I'd been trying to flash (using Odin as I decided to stay on Stock and not root this device, for a change) the latest OneUI2.1 releases for my device (SM-T865 - LTE version) and boom in the middle of the Odin update, the flash just failed...I then couldn't reboot and get into neither Recovery, nor Download Mode because it appears my bootloader and recovery both got corrupted.
Here's what you need....
1. Odin app for PC (am on Windows)
2. Your device's Stock firmware (sammobile firmware archive)
3. You will need someone to help you boot the device directly into Download mode (and this is the tricky part because for most of us we are used to get into Bootloader by using the key combination (from Powered Off device) Vol+ and Power On at the same time to get into stock recovery and then scrolling down to option 2 in this menu, "Reboot to Bootloader". Well now you are going to boot directly into Bootloader mode. Here's how you do it...
4. Get your friend to line up the USB-C cable into the port of the device, but DO NOT press it in...yet
5. Press Power off and Vol- buttons at the same time to turn off the device
6. And now you have to to be super fast: if device starts to turn on on its own, YOU press and hold Vol+ and Vol- both at the same time while YOUR FRIEND pushes the USB cable fully into the port - you should now have booted directly into Download mode. (if not repeat this, and remember to be super fast and sync with your friend pushing in the USB cable)...
7. When you get into Download mode, then you are home and dry...
8. Select ONLY the Bootloader file (BL...XX...) in Odin, make sure only "reset time" and "reboot" are ticked, and flash
9. When device reboots, press Vol+ and Power combo to get back into Bootloader mode again...but I think device will reboot into Download mode on its own
10. Now select all the files from your Stock file into the various tabs (BL, CP, CSC, AP...) do not select HOME_CSC as we want to flush this device clean...
11. Flash, and voila...success - you will have lost all your data but rather that than losing the device...
12. Feedback here and let us know if this works? For reference for others in the future...
FYI, I got in this situation, and the previous post did work for me, just takes good timing! Thanks!!!!
Same issue today for me. My tablet showed different screen with green and red text, it allowed me to delete app data, then booted into safe mode, then i had to do factory reset and now i am screwed, as it is refusing to restore any apps and their settings. I will try to flash it back to Android 9, maybe then it will do the restore. I forgot to do any manual backup to SD or so.
Edit: the device upgraded to 10, but reset itself after about 10 minutes of use.
Edit2: i found what caused it. It is caused by Nova Launcher, if i try to set wallpaper.
Just found a news article that there is a RGB/sRGB problem with wallpapers. It might be the problem i had.
I am adding a screenshot of the result.
Yeah, I had that kind of reboot loop from a wallpaper that I downloaded

Hi,
Really need your help, after I updated my firmware using Odin, updated BL, AP, CP, CSC, my tab cannot boot up stuck in logo. Doing the Power + volume up leads me to different screen now. I cannot access recovery mode or download page anymore,
What must I do? Pleasssee help. Added the pic, after doing hard reset (power + vol up)
I cannot connect back to Odin also. Always setup connection failed.
Please help. Really messed up big time
Just a thought... Can this be restored from service center?
Thank you in advance.
I have the same problem with a Tab S6 Lite, it is in bootloop and does not let me enter the recovery mode, I can go into download mode and I flashed the latest original firmware Android11, Android10 etc., . I tried them all but always goes in bootloop, and also the bootloop occurs only if I connect the usb cable to the PC, without any sign of life. Do I still have hopes or have I compromised the motherboard?
The reason for all this is because I had followed a guide to give root permissions with magisk, I did everything right, only that the guide was with Android10, while I had Android11 and I was deceived by the fact that in the title of the guide there was written "guide 2021"
, so I did not check the compatibility of operating systems, I was a fool, I know, I hope so much that I did nothing irretrievable, it's my son's tablet!

Did you use HOME CSC or the non HOME CSC when flashing?

Try to install a castom rooted rom which has pre installed also Twrp.
[MAGISK Rom / Firmware base convertor) 420rom-T860/5 - V13.3- CUE1 - ANDROID 10 - OneUI 3.1 - Sec Patch 05/2021 - Released 06/07/2021

forum.xda-developers.com
Download the android 11 last rooted rom from there. You install it with odin as as a normal original rom.
Disable in odin auto reboot. After rom install, restart manually and press the correct buttons immediately to boot in Twrp and not to system. Format (not wipe) data from there and reboot to system. If you are lucky it will work..
(I hope you unlocked bootloader before try to root. If you haven't unlocked bootloader this won't work also).

Why flashing only the bootloader first? At the moment I'm trying to recover my s20 fe from a bootloop without losing my data

Wiping cache partition in Recovery and reflashing the firmware are basically your only 2 options

Flash in odin the same rom you had. There are 2 csc files in rom, which you use 1 in odin one. Try use the "home csc". Home csc keep KEEPS your data. If you're lucky it may work. (It would work in keeping your data 100% if your rom was ok. Because it isn't you have some changes to work.).
You must try with same rom or newer.
CSC – If you flash the CSC file, it’ll perform a factory reset of your Galaxy device and wipe all data while installing a new firmware to bring your device to the same state as it was when you purchased it. Go with CSC if you want a clean installation.
HOME_CSC – On the other hand, if you want to keep your Samsung phone’s data and settings even flashing the stock firmware, you can select the HOME_CSC file.
