Guys my S3 was working really fine. I updated OTA while on root. Now it won't turn on
I flashed the latest ICS Firmware XXBLH1 via Odin.
The first flash went as it should be. Odin made it a "Pass"
But when the flashing was over the Recovery Mode came and came there written
E:/ Write failed or something like that.
It didn't boot up as usual
Tried another flash... Still nothing... but this time the Recovery Mode didn't show up and at first it used to go to the "SAMSUNG" logo. But now it just gets stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-i9300"
PLEASE I NEED SOME EXPERT OPINION RIGHT NOW. I THINK I JUST WASTED MY MONEY!
Bump!
Try getting into recovery by pressing volume up+ home button + power and do a data wipe.

My phone is stuck in some kind of a boot loop... i can get it into download mode but cant get it into cwm. I have tried flashing lots of stuff via odin but it doesn't make any difference. Is there any way I can fix this?
weird O.O do you mean bootanimation is looping cause you can actually get into CWM before the bootanimation
nope clockwork mod has disappeared D:
After installing new ROM did u again wiped cache or data?? If so reinstalling would be better,,
I reinstalled using odin
try to reset factory settings and clear cache after installing...

By flashing via Odin with a stock rom, you'll loose CWM. You have to flash CWM again to get it back. But as you described it, you can't even get into Recovery mode (blue Samsung recovery screen with HOME+Power button combo)?

If u can't get to recovery mod then flash a new firmware from sammobile via Odin

I had this problem also.
I reloaded a new stock rom from sam and loaded it with odin, after the install I turned the phone on with the power button + the home button and did a factory reset and wipe catch.
And that worked.
u need to hold the power button + home button till you get in the menu.
I came from cm7.1 and went to stock rom 2.3.5.
Hope get it. Otherwise post your steps from which rom you came.

or...
when phone is off, hold power button and home button in the same time.
when the phone is showing samsung, you can release the power button, but keep hold the home button until recovery menu showed
About 9mnths a go I dropped my phone (gt-I9100, GS2) in some water. It appeared to be dead, so I left it off. After a day I turned it back on and everything was fine again except the volume up key was not working. Anyway I could live with that, in fact I lived with it so much that I all but forgot about it. That was until today...
I tried to flash a new ROM and something went wrong and I got stuck in a bootloop, no problem just boot into recovery right.... oh yeah requires volume up key Then I thought oh ok no problem I will boot into Custom OS flash mode and reflash a stock ROM with ODIN.... oh **** first stage is 'Volume up: Continue'. So I am stuck.
I know possible answers to this are "No" or "Get your volume key fixed" but is there any other way I can solve this issue and flash any ROM?
The phone is rooted and has CWM recovery but as explained above, I can't use the volume up.
As the phone doesn't boot past the Samsung Galaxy SII logo...running ADB or Fastboot in a terminal doesn't show up with any results.
Help....
ps. The bootloop occured after flashing with AOKP JB Rom for I9100
A USB jig (very cheap/common) will boot your device to download mode, and you can then flash through Odin.

Am I missing something here? You are talking only about your volume up button not working, right? If the volume down button is still working you could enter download mode with Volume Down + Home + Power and flash another firmware. However if volume down isn't working too then see post above.
Yes you are, because after you boot into download you have to press vol up to continue...

Oops, I see. Too bad it is not the touch version of CWM...
Hello Everyone,
I had Jelly bombed rom v 7.0 (samsung gs3 sprint). I didn't wipe out data/ factory reset , so after flashing stock rom (factory one and then updated ones). Now it stuck on samsung logo flashing a in the background. So it seems like it trying find files or something. But not booting and turning on. I tried to put in recovery mode by vol up+home+power, but it don't work. I downloaded the jelly bombed from internet but it's a zip file so can't flash it with Odin. Help me Please!!!!
Thanks,
Dev
If you have a Sprint you are in the wrong forum
If you use odin, just run the stock rom over. I presume vol down and power takes you to download mode?

Yes, Thanks for replying. But It's now working. I was keep holding vol down + home + power util about 10 seconds but it never took me to the recovery. But the actual method is hold vol down + home + power and after 2-3 seconds leave the power button n keep holding other two. So I finally got to the recovery mode, deleted caches and wiped all data. After this restarted but the same problem. Finally re flashing solved the problem and it's working now!!
I finally kickstarted my dead Galaxy Tab P7510 by keeping my finger on the touchscreen and holding down the Power Button. But this has got me to a screen with the Green Man and a message in yellow writing " --Wiping Data... Formatting /Data... ". I cant get any further than this, I am stuck on this screen (unless I press Vol Up+Power Button very briefly when the yellow writing disappears and the cogs in the Green Man start working).
I guess the Tab needs to be re-flashed from the PC using Odin (a procedure im pretty familiar with as ive done it with my SG2 phone many times). But how do I get the Tab to Download Mode to commence the process. Ive tried to get it into Recovery Mode via Vol Down+Power and Vol Up + Power and all the combinations I can think of, but this isnt getting me anywhere.
(So long as I can get the Tab into the Download Mode I would like to know which firmware I should flash. Can I go straight in with Cyanogenmod 10.1 or do I need to start with something more basic?)
If you know how to get into the bootloader i.e. the 2 icons screen, just press the volume up button twice. I would recommend flashing stock ICS first before cm10.1 if you haven't. If you have, then feel free to flash any ROM you want after installing a custom recovery.

Many thanks eushuan.Just the advice I needed. Thats got it sorted.
Hi. My galaxy note is getting stuck on boot screen.
To begin with I was using Android Jelly Bean 4.2.1 and had rooted my phone with CWM 6.0.3.1. Then I used it to flash CynogenMod 9.1. Then I used it to flash CM 10.2 . After this when I tried to reboot in recovery mode by pressing volume up+home+power, phone didn't go into recovery instead it just did a normal reboot. Then I enabled advanced reboot option by enabling developer developer setting and selected recovery option after pressing power button and selecting reboot.This time the phone restarted but neither went into recovery nor did a normal reboot. Instead it got stuck on galaxy note logo screen and that's the way it's till now.
It tries to reboot when I press either volume up+home+power or just power button but keeps getting stuck. It does go into download mode though when I press Volume down+home+power.
Someone please let me know what should I do to go back to safety. This is the first time I am trying to do any kind if rooting/flashing stuff.
Thanks.

OK, so this device we do not use HOME button to get recovery.
Volume up/down and power. Once vibrate , let go power and still hold volumes until recovery comes

I have the international version of note i.e GT-N7000 actually. I posted this issue here as I couldn't find correct forum at that time. Though have posted it to N7000 forum now @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44977074#post44977074
(I have discovered now that posting duplicate threads violates rules )
But anyways I am unable to boot into recovery even by pressing buttons mentioned by you. I am thinking of flashing Philz CWM6 kernal using ODIN through download mode and then flashing CM10.2(or CM10.1 if the problem lies with CM10.2).
I had flashed Philz CWM6 kernal before flashing with CM 9.1. But after CM 9.1 was flashed I think it replaced Philz touch recovery with its own recovery. After that I flashed CM 10.2 with this recovery. Now I don't know if CM10.2 is the problem or the recovery which overwrote Philz recovery
I hope I get an answer to what went wrong so as to be wiser when flashing a new ROM next time.
