Volume up continue
Volume down restart phone
When I press volume up

So that means you can get into download mode, which is a good thing. Go to www.sammobile.com, signup and enter you device and model number, download a stock firmware and flash through odin. Do NOT tick repartition or use a .pit file. Put it in the PDA and flash.

Its not that hard of a fix, I just explained how to fix your problem. If you want search the forum about how to fix a bootloop...

Also which carrier do I choose from?
Because it was locked to tmobile but I got it unlocked and I'm now on giff gaff so do I still pick tmobile?

Bricked S3

I flashed a kernel on my S3 via recovery and then reboot my phone. It goes to a black screen now. When I pull the battery and power on holding volume down to go into recovery the Samsung Galaxy S3 logo keeps appearing and disappearing until I let go of the volume down key. Then it's stuck at the same black screen. When I try to put the phone in download mode to re-flash via odin it does the same thing. I'm pretty sure I'm fu*ked, but I just want to make sure there's not a way to fix this. Any ideas?

Don't worry..i have done worse things with my phone and yet to brick it..
Fist thing to go into recovery you hold vol up + power + home and not vol down..
Second thing what you will have to do is after the Odin flash..press and hold vol up+power+home..you will boot into the stock recovery..from here do a factory reset but mind you all the data on your internal sdcard will be lost when you do this..now reboot your phone..your phone will boot up properly now..assuming that you have flashed the firmware properly in Odin..

As zoot1 replied to you for download mode press vol down+home+power for a few seconds......for recovery vol up+home+power.........
And make very sure the kernel you flash is compatible with your phone and firmware!!!!!!!!!!!! The rest zoot1 explained in his reply
Good luck
Sorta Bricked
Anyone have an idea what I've done.... Black screen with blue light. I can get to the recovery menu, clockwork is installed, but I can't flash a rom. The only way to get the phone to stay off is by removing the battery.
This is a Cspire L710. I've attempted to flash a Cspire_nandroid_stock zip, the phone will find it but can't open it. I missed a step somewhere I guess. I had it in download mode but made the mistake of trying the factory reset-which changed that.
I've also tried a couple of other roms with the same results.

Unless there is a way to get to download mode through the recovery menu, download mode is not an option.

You have a galaxy s ii alright, what model? I9100?
So let me get this straight, you flashed via odin and the phone rebooted in CMW?
That would mean you didn't flash a thing.
Have you followed any flashing guide?

you flashed via odin by putting your device in download mode right?
did it restart after flashing the firmware? did you see result in the odin window?
if you can attach screenshot of the odin window it might help to understand the issue.
after flashing I9100XWLS8_I9100FOPLS3_FOP via odin, device should restart. first time it takes time. if you are stuck in samsung logo go in to recovery mode and do factory reset then restart the device. it should be fine.

the CWM you have in the picture is custom not the stock recovery. if you flash official firmware it should have stock recovery.

Did you even read about what those links are meant for?
One is for flashing ICS, the other is for getting back to stock firmware, and the last one is for getting out of a soft-brick.
REBOOT into Download Mode (Home + Power + Vol. Down)
PLUG your device in your PC.
KILL all KIES process working on the background (If you don't have Kies, install it and then close it all up)
OPEN ODIN and select the JB LS8 tar file on PDA and press start.
When it says "pass", phone will reboot itself.

dont panic, remove the battery and put it back, dont power on. charge it for minimum 30 mins. then try to reflash the firmware using correct odin. after flashing you should have stock recovery. go in to stock recovery do factory reset and then restart the phone.

When Odin shows "Pass" the device should reboot itself and go straight to android, not recovery.

I have used the tutorial for rooting my phone, it goes through the first stage on pda flashing an insecure rom, phone reboots and i have the yellow triangle, then the phone just locks on black screen, tried running the easy root software, it connects to the phone then stops.

download, unzip the downloaded file until u get a tar.md5 file

reboot to download mode, plug your phone
open odin, click pda, select the tar.md5 file, hit start and wait.
if the phone does boot after flashing, wait a minute, reboot to recovery, wipe data/factory reset and reboot (even if the device boots at first time, i advise u to do this wipe anyway)
back working again, couldnt get into the recovery mode, tried the up volume home and power, also searched and tried the up down power also, all i want to do is unlock my phone lol

Help! Phone won't stop rebooting! S6 edge sm-g925i

I woke up yesterday and found my phone dead.
It keeps rebooting and I am stuck on the Samsung logo screen.
The notification light on the upper left side stays on when the phone has power.
I am NOT able to get in recovery mode, but I can get in download mode.
Holding the power button won't turn off the phone, I have to hold volume down + power button to turn it off.
Things that I've tried:
1. Kies and Smartswitch (Succeed! But the phone won't go further than the Samsung logo screen and it continues to reboot and reboot)
2. flashing firmware downloaded from sammobile with odin (I've downloaded 3 firmwares, two 6.01 and one 5.11, the two 6.01 work, it says "PASSED," then my phone reboots and it's all the same. It won't go further than the logo screen. The 5.11 one doesn't work)
3. flashing stock recovery and twrp with odin, ( i tried a few versions of those, the worked ones say "PASSED," but I then get recovery is not seandroid enforcing or no message at all, either way I am still not able to get into recovery mode
Please Help!:crying::crying:

Flash the stock 6.0.1 firmware that passes before. When phone is bootlooping hold only POWER AND VOL DOWN. This will power off and boot into safe mode. As soon as it powers on hold HOME POWER AND UP. So you need to hold down and power then as soon as it goes off and boots to galaxy s6 edge powered by android press vol up aswell this should get you to recovery. Wipe data and cache and it should boot up. Keep me updated

See if the charger cable is connected, holding the vol down+power button wouldn't shut down the phone (or maybe it shuts it down but it just reboots itself up immediately again)
I held the vol down+power button, and switched to holding the vol up+home button+power when I saw the logo came up, and while I was holding them, the logo faded and all I had is a black screen. I kept holding it anyway for 2 minutes, nothing happened. :crying:
please advise

I tried to flash a Stock Recovery in it with odin again since I just couldn't get in recovery and it failed!! I got it in last time when I was on the G925IDVS3EPIF_G925IOPS3EPGG_G925IDVU3EPIA_HOME.tar.md5 firmware

Is your phone locked to a network?

This is the one that I downloaded before. I extracted the zip, put the phone into download mode and connected it to the pc. Open Odin, press AP and chose the extracted file., "start". It passed and rebooted. But I am still stuck on the logo screen.
I also tried to separate the firmware files into AP and BL with script, it also passed, but I am still stuck!
What should I do?

Try a different one from different region. Can you still not get into recovery mode?

I tried two g925I from india
One g925i from Australia (Optus)
One g925I from Australia (the latest two on the sammmobile site0
the kies, the smartswitch
all of them succeeded.
but i just can't get into recovery mode. I tried to flash stock recovery in it, even when it succeeded, i still can't get in recovery mode.
I tried flashing twrp too, it succeeded but there's "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" on the screen
when I tried a G925F one, it says "secure check fail <bootloader>" on the phone
now when i get into download mode, there are two lines at the bottom saying:
knox warranty void:1 (0x030c)
RP SWREV: B:3 K:2 S:2

Yeah they will always show up in download mode.
Try to flash one again, but uncheck auto reboot in odin, after flashing try to boot into recovery. How long did you leave it booting for? Sometimes first boot after flash can take up to 30 minutes.
If not keep trying the combo i said...
Power and down until phone reboots.
As soon as screen comes back on powered by android hold vol up home and power.
You have to be quick with it you have to get the recovery buttons as soon as it boots.
Or try boot into download mode, then as soon as you press up to cancel it phone will boot, as soon as you press cancel do recovery combo

Download Mode note getting

Hii Friends,
Im using samsung mega 6.3. (GT-I9200)
im trying to update my mobile via odin. but when i try to enter download mode its not entering .
Please help me
(Volume down + home button+power button )
Dag_Nab.It
S/G MEGA 6.3 (AT&T-US) SGH-i527~GT-i9205
I have the same issue with my device not entering Download Mode. My device will ONLY go to main screen asking for password, which I no longer remember.
please help us
Still_Kicking...
VolumeUP+Home+Power, still getting 'no response' while holding all three down and releasing at start up.
*i forgot to mention that after StartUp, on the Enter Password request page, only the Power button operates. the VolumeUp, VolumeDown, and Home buttons do nothing. I have to press Power button after the screen has blacked out to bring-up the Enter Password request page again.
Today, I installed an old SIM card (SIM not provisioned MM#2) is displayed. I'll have to research this for the meaning as this is a first for me.
This time I held VolumeDown+Home buttons throughout the StartUp process. This time, on the Enter Password request page, in the lower left corner, Safe mode is stated. Anyone have some tips on what we can do while the device is in this mode as I have yet to read anything on Safe mode for any of the devices listed so far?
TO ENTER Safe mode:
Hold Power button until device starts up, release. Now hold down VolumeDown+Home buttons until Enter Password request page shows. The device should now state that its in Safe mode in the lower left corner. Please take note that this is on the S/G MEGA 6.3 (AT&T-US) SGH-i527~GT-i9205.
Galaxy Mega 6.3/ Black screen after ROM Flash
A friend of mine gave me his Galaxy Mega 6.3 as when he previously did something with the phones software, he messed something up and lost imei numbers, wifi and bluetooth wouldn't work however the phone would still turn on. Just like an MP3 player.
I struggle around a day to get this phone into download mode in order to flash its factory rom and i finally got the phone to download mode, i flashed the correct I9205 stock rom on and now the phone wont turn on.
No buttons light up including the blue LED at the top. The screen turns on and back off after a few seconds. No logo appears, but the phone does respond to the power button. Its like a bootloop but it loops before it gets to any sort of logo screen. I cant seem to launch to any sort of safe mode, recovery mode or download mode and the phone is not detected on my computer.
Any ideas on how to get this backup and running.

Did you check the PDA, CSC, and of course the md5 to make sure you had the right Firmware(ROM)? Where did you download it from?
How did you get the device into download mode?

I managed to get the device to download mode via the normal method of pressing volume home and power however it doesnt always work and it just restarts continuesly. I got the rom from sammobiles or something like that and i believe its the correct one. I have tried several other roms that is for mega 6.3 but no hope. However i did manage to get twrp installed. Do you by any chance know any os that you can link for me that i can install directly and only by using twrp installation?

There is LineageOS ROM with RR Remix. I have heard that you have to use Kies before you can use Odin3. Sorry for the late reply.
