Hi All -
I tried to get on my TP today (which was working fine last night) and it is suddenly frozen on the Asus splash screen. My device is stock everything, unrooted, no CWM. I tried putting the latest firmware on an SDcard and booting from the card via the volume + power button. It says booting recovery kernal image then it signature match and then it just does nothing. Any ideas? What am I missing?
Thanks so much.

Hi, I think this post could help you.
It helped me a lot with option 1 because I was in a CWM-Bootloop.
Seems that you are in Option 2)

Ok, So I've recently updated to stock gingerbread 2.3.3 with baseband .35. I rooted my phone with the SuperOneClick method. Root was successful (Finally).
I then wanted to install a custom ROM, so I installed ClockworkMod's ROM manager, flashed the clockwork recovery image and everything. I decided to make a backup image in case I didn't like the new ROM. I then selected the "Backup Current ROM" option, and left my phone to it's own devices. When I got back about 5 minutes later, I find that I have a hard reset on my hands :| To add to that, I don't even have a backup image!
I tried doing that a couple times more, once, I even held the POWER+VOL.DOWN+HOME combo and all. The same thing happened each time. The recovery backdrop and a sliding progress appeared, after about 4 seconds, the progress bar stopped moving, it shifted back to the LG boot logo. If I kept the combo pressed, it would go on and on for about 5 times, if I released it, it would just continue on to the boot and I would get another hard reset every time. I tried "Reboot into Recovery". Same thing. Once, I selected "Install ROM from SD card", with the backup option selected. Somehow or the other, due to the combo or something, I came to a screen that had four options.
1) Reboot
2) Install from SD card:update.zip
3) Wipe data
4) Wipe dalvik cache and cache
I was able to scroll up and down with the volume rocker, but the only other button that worked was the Home button, which toggled between the screen I mentioned above and a screen where all of the text was removed and there was just the recovery background. I finally popped out the battery and booted, and got yet ANOTHER hard reset.
HELP!
It seems Clockworkmod recovery was not flashed correctly. What you see is the stock android recovery. The recovery key mapping is:
volume rocker-up/down
menu (left most button)- select current option
back - go back
the behaviour you see when pressing the home button is normal.
After using Rom manager to install CWM recovery, it is not recommended to do further operations through rom manager, best uninstall it. Instead, boot into recovery using the three button combo and do operations from there.
I would suggest try again to re-flash CWM recovery.

Thanks, but do you have any idea WHY using ROM manager is a bad idea? Just curious.

Well, one reason I've encountered is that while flashing cwm recovery, if the download fails for some reason, Rom mananger has flashed the incorrectly downloaded file without verification resulting in a fastboot semi-brick for many users.
Another reason is related to the way it operates the recovery. I'm not very sure about this point, but I've seen many people having problems with backups and flashing.
Thanks, you were brilliant. I flashed another recovery from ClockworkMod, this time with a WiFi connection, and everything worked great.

after the kdz method i think that u can do nothing, if u r under warranty then give your phone back and just say after trying to update through original lg software ur phone would not start at all. or try reading and asking in this thread

Hi all,
I'm trying to root but having problem. Then I decided to restore to factory reset via software and thru CWR but both failed....any suggestion?
Best Regards,
Jay
Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread, I am also having a similar problem. My tab has been rooted since I bought it, nearly a year ago. I have flashed loads of different roms and builds without any problem. Recently with the AOKP builds, my tab locks up randomly and I have to do a reboot by holding power for 15 secs. I can install a new rom etc, but it does not fix the issue.
I have since decided to do a factory reset, however in cwm when I choose this option it hangs and freezes the device...
I've tried the superwipe scripts, but because they are not for this device they do not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What exactly fails? The factory reset in CWM won't format the SDcard partition, btw. Only stock recovery does that.
I would suggest to flash a stock system using odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1651794). That'll revert the system and recovery to stock and you can do a factory reset.
I have fixed my problem, I don't know if it will help the OP. But here is what I did.
Downloaded ODIN plus the stock 3.2 honeycome odin file for my model p7500 (Unzip it too ). booted my tab holding power and vol down. Once the samsung logo comes up, release power.
Press Vol UP to select "Download Mode". Open ODIN, connect usb cable pc --> tablet and press volume up on tab again, to confirm download mode.
ODIN will recognize the tab, select the file you just unzipped, and click start... once finished you should be back to stock, so you can re-root. Like I had too
Now I just hope that my device is fixed and wont freeze anymore

Put the tab in download mode and Odin the stock tar.
+1. You will lose everything on your internal storage by the way, but its the best way to wipe any bad data or damage that has been done short of a hard brick.
Its quite refreshing actually I'm glad I did mine and it proved I didn't need half the junk that was on it lol!
@jaytee84: please tell your device's model my friend,and tell which firmware you are currently running
Hello,
I've been having a nightmare with my Galaxy S2 GT-I9100. The phone had been giving me grief for a few months, the occasional freeze which would be fixed by a battery pull, ever since upgrading to an official ICS rom. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact ROM.
A week ago the phone froze, I pulled the battery and hit a bootloop when I tried to restart. I booted into recovery mode and attempted to wipe data. The phone attempted to wipe the data but froze. I left it for a couple of hours with no progress so I pulled the battery. The phone is now still in the same bootloop but cannot enter recovery mode. It can however enter download mode through both the 3 button technique and using a USB jig. My PC only recognises the phone in download mode and fortunately ODIN also recognises the phone. I have tried flashing various stock firmware and kernels and each time ODIN claims the flash was successful, reboots the phone and hits the same bootloop as before. I have also tried flashing CWM recovery to try and boot into that recovery mode but again this is successful but seems to make no difference.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks for your time.

Hmm ... for bootloop issues, this is the correct guide => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499
But this requires recovery mode to work.
And you really pressed Volume UP + Home + Power keys, and hold them for about 15 seconds/until recovery menu appears - regardless of any other boot logo or animation which might be displayed inbetween?!

Definitely. Booting with Volume UP + Home + Power keys, I am greeted with my usual bootloop Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 boot screen, after around 10 seconds the screen goes black and then the bootloop screen comes back on.
Any other suggestions?
Same problem
Hi,
I have the same problem. I would be interested in a solution for this as well. I've already tried reflashing the ROM, kernel and bootloader, together with repartitioning. Still can't get into recovery mode.

Hi,
What I finally managed to do is connect to ADB and do a wipe from there. Connecting to ADB in download mode sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, depends on how lucky you are. Try it a couple of times. Afterwards I was able to re-flash and it started. For me, the problem was also a bit deeper; my USB port was shortcircuiting or something. I just took a toothpick and pushed the USB pin a bit (found the idea online) and haven't had any problems since then.
Cheers,
Tudor
So I just tried to install the latest version of Android to my HTC One, (Sense 5.5 Android 4.4) and I downloaded the ROM, then transferred it to my phone via USB and flashed it with Clockworkmod. The package partly installed but then I was shown "Error 7 Installation aborted", so I held the power and volume keys to boot into the screen with fastboot etc on it and tried to return to my recovery. It just flashed onto the screen for a second or so and then disappeared, followed by the HTC logo. I left this for 20mins+ before I tried again. Same thing. I really need help as I rely on my phone alot. Anything that would make my phone useable would help.
Thanks.

I've had my Prime unlocked since I got it, I recently put on TWRP but kept the 4.1.1 OS stock rooted. Last night it was running slow, so I did a Data Wipe from the TWRP recovery screen. Now whenever I start it, it hangs on the ASUS splashscreen and does not boot. Holding the volume down and power button does not allow me to boot into recovery and my computer does not recognize it if I try to plug it in. This post sounds a lot like it, but I don't see a solution to it here. Thank you for any help!
