Howdy Note users...
This is a little tip to help users get out of that annoying "STUCK ON THE SAMSUNG LOGO" issue that we see "ALL" the time.
As you know, the condition is brought on when users get a bad download, the wrong download, or a bad kernel etc...
The normal remedy is pulling the battery out, then waiting, then putting it back in to get your recovery booted. All the while you are having to pull the case apart, causing damage and wasting time.
Here is the trick to get around all of that, and boot into your recovery from the stuck "SAMSUNG" screen.
(First)....simply push both the volume up, and volume down buttons at the same time. ( while the screen is stuck at "SAMSUNG" of course)
(Second)..then push the power button, and hold it..until the device begins to vibrate every 3-4 seconds..
(Third)...allow the device to vibrate 3 times, then release the power button, but continue to hold the volume up/down buttons..
This recovery trick will take about 20 seconds, but the device will boot into your recovery from the stuck screen using this method..
Note: it also works to get you into download mode from the stuck screen, but you only use the volume down, and power buttons in that process...
I hope this helps a few of you in avoiding the battery pulls and the case damage....

Happy flashing....g

This might work for some circumstances, but I flashed a beta recovery once that wouldn't let me boot anything, just sat at the Samsung (bootloader) logo. I had to flash the previous (working) version of recovery in ODIN and all was fine.

Hi, my phone boots up, but my screen doesn't.
Well it actually semi-work. When i turn it on the screen it show colored dots, and those dots lighten up.
Erlier the screen showed up but was laggy as hell(The display not actually the OS, i can feel it xD).

sounds more or less hardware related, if it is still within warranty, do send it away for assessment...

Any Ideas?

You flashed anything to it that may gave caused it? If you boot into recovery or download mode does anything get displayed?

Watched ur clip. Apart from the screen , I'm hearing the default ring repeatedly. I used to have this ringtone issue everytime i started my phone up. A factory reset and sd card format solved that for me. i agree that screen issue looks hardware related and something that should be covered under your warranty. new digitizer and amoled screen.

Oops mistakenly thanked your post! Lol
Well you could send it off and gamble that they might just fix it even though you have tampered with it.
If I was you I would be tempted to flash back to a stock rom first though.
Yea flash a stock rom via odin, i suppose it gets recognized via USB.
Also use a Jig if you have one.
Just turn the phone off, boot into download mode and hit the volume up rocker after a few seconds. Should work.
I'm on a stock rom, i flashed only a custom kernel..

Can anyone make a video on how to Hard Reset from Recovery?
I know how to, but i can't see, so i need to know the number of button press.
Exemple:
Boot into recovery
2 times volume down->ok->3times volume up->ecc..
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for my english i just came back from school(slept 4h)
@xx1182
My phone died in exactly the same way this morning. Lucky for me Vodafone UK are giving me a replacement tomorrow (I expected them to say I had to send it in for repair, because it's 3 months old).
I will be so angry if it turns out that this phone has inherent build-quality/toughness issues. I haven't mistreated it at all.
Hope you get your problem resolved.

I cant make a video, so i'll just describe.
Wipe Factory reset => 2 clicks down, home button, 5 clicks up, home button
Wipe cache => 3 clicks down, home button, 5 clicks up, home button
Wipe Dalvik => 3 clicks up, home button, 1 click down, home button, 5 clicks up, home button
Then turn off with power button and reboot to download. Flash stock kernel, use usb jig, and go over to the service station.

I have an htc one x. The phone is stuck in bootloop. It stays on the htc logo screen and does nothing. I would like to know how to turn the phone off alltogether. I have tried volume up + power button, volume up and down + power button and that will turn the phone off but seconds later comes back on by itself. I assume i will haveto flash a new rom to it in order to get it to come back on. The phone is rooted but not sure what rom or kernel is or was on it as i have done a factory reset on it. This all started righ after downloading an app?!!?!? Idk. Any advise on how to actually shut down the phone and what the proper way of fixing this this issue.

Hey guys, I am really hoping someone can help me. I just rooted my sm-n9005 note 3 from Sprint using cf-autoroot. I then flashed TWRP to my phone using Odin. Everything was working fine until about an hour ago. Then all of a sudden my sd card was not being recognized and my apps started stopping without even being open. Settings even would stop working at times. I tried to turn the phone off and it would start to shut down and then it would just be a blank screen with the red light and soft keys illuminated. I waited a bit and pulled the battery. I then tried to boot into recovery and it goes to the teamwin screen and just stays there. I pulled the battery again and the phone turned on so I tried to go into goo manager and reboot into recovery from there and when I hit yes to reboot it just sticks, it doesnt reboot. But if i hit the home button it will go to the home screen.I tried to do a factory reset and it just spins and spins. I cant seem to get into recovery mode. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Now even though i select allow debugging it wont boot to download mode...anyone?
i am more than likely screwed now huh?
So long as you can still get into download mode you're probably OK. I'd get the latest TWRP and try flashing it on Odin to see if that fixes the recovery problem. Once in recovery is wipe cache and dalvik, reboot and let it sit for a few to settle in then reassess

Try getting into download by completely powering down. Then press and hold power, home button and volume down.

Yup, as the gentleman above recommended, power down completely, then perhaps remove the battery, wait a tick, battery back in, power + home + volume down, then at caution screen volume up to confirm.
You're now in bootloader/download mode. Ready to flash from PC Odin.

Can't even begin to tell you how many times I've gotten the buttons mixed up over the years Common mistake At least with this phone, volume DOWN makes sense for DOWNLOAD mode...at least that's how I remember it now

No doubt. A week ago, I had some heavy duty devs trying to troubleshoot why I could not overclock above 1.74GHz. Turned out that I had the CPU set to limit in power saving mode. That was like a two hour foray. Thought of it in the morning. Deselected it, could clock as I pleased.

I was going to do a backup. I flashed cwd. Things are starting to get jacked up again..i feel like i am about over "flashing" lol. Should i do a factory reset from cwm?

Just flash the stock tar or one-click and stay on it for a bit. No flashing of anything until you get back to a working phone.

I rooted my nook tablet a year ago using this tutorial: http://youtu.be/5n2D5-Q6UFg
Last week I was reading on it and I went to slide to unlock my device. It lets me slide to unlock, then shows the screen for a brief second before turning dark again into stand by mode. At that time I just turned it off and went to sleep cuz I was tired. But today I turned it on again, and it DID IT AGAIN!!!! So I rebooted countless times! I even held the power button for 20 seconds and rebooted!
Why is it doing this all of a sudden???!!!!!!
Most likely you've had an app / widget go bad / get corrupted. You can attempt to boot into safe mode by holding down both the up and down volume buttons during boot up. May or may not do anything. YMMV.
Other options, reflash the ROM over the top or do a factory reset and start fresh.

I recently traded a friend for a galaxy tab 10.1. On start up, it was in download mode for a good thirty minutes. I became impatient and powered it down to see if I could start it up normally. It wouldnt turn on at all, and the volume down + power button doesnt work either. I really messed up this time.

After u flash the stock tar..if the device doesnt boot. Go into stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset.
