Does it boot into recovery mode?
Press Volume UP + Home + Power keys until recovery menu appears.
If yes, then try to wipe cache (and Dalvik cache), fix permissions and reboot.
If that does not help, you may have to wipe data (do a factory reset).
If recovery mode does not work, then your phone seems to be semi-/soft- bricked.
You will have to get the phone connected to your PC in download mode to repair it.

hi
plz i need help for my samsung galaxy T959 stuck on recovery mode its detect by adb but cannot get on to download mode..any id how to fix it.
thx.
What exactly are you trying to do that you need it to get into download mode? Do you need to ODIN something back?
yes i need to flash it by odin but its stucked on recovery mode .
Pull out the battery, sim, and sd cards. Load up ODIN, have the files loaded and ready to go. Connect your usb to your computer. Hold the up and down volume buttons on your phone (DON'T LET GO UNTIL I TELL YOU TO) and connect your usb cable into the phone. Now, pop in the battery. Let go of the buttons. You should now be in download mode and ready to go.
already tried this even tried with adb reboot download but its restart only in this recovery mode
What rom are you running currently?
i only get this result.
Can you fully boot into the phone?
phone not start fully ...its only in this mode (recovery).
Hit reinstall packages twice. Then try rebooting.
Hi. I'm new to here so please i appreciate any help you can give .
So the story is... I own a samsung galaxy gio S5660 (i have Android 2.2.1 ) and i wanted to flash a custom rom on it. Well i forgot that i had to root it, so i just flashed the CWM recovery on it and now i cant get into the recovery, the samsung logo just stays. The phone works, it boots up but only not in the recovery mode :s. Also, i cant root from the pc either because i get unknown device, i installed kies, reinstalled the drivers... I get the error : Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43). It charges via usb but doesnt connect as storage or something like that :/ i cant figure out what to do. The root programs dont recognize/find the device so am i screwed or what :s. I know i was stupid that i didnt think about the root. I've done the rooting on a tablet many times so i dont know why i forgot to do it :s
Thank you for reading. Hope i get an answer
BUMP BUMP-
I did a factory reset with the code from the phone and now its stuck on the samsung logo :s. It enters download mode and fastboot but the most important problem is that the pc doesnt recognize the device so i cant use odin or any similar program to flash a new recovery on it :s. Is there anything i could do?
I tried reinstalling the drivers multiple times.
I tried on 2 laptops and 1 desktop but it's all the same :S.
BUMP.
Help please
BUMP T_T
jaja
Prepare ODIN with the firmware you want to flash (in my case was Gingerbread 2.3.4) and get it ready to go.
-
Remove battery, wait for a bit. Insert battery again.
-
Flash a recovery with your specific filesystem (EXT4 or RFS)-(If you have EXT4, download ext4 only, don't get ext4+rfs)
-
Enter recovery & Wipe | Format:
System
Data
Cache
Dalvik Cache
Have ODIN ready. Connect phone to PC.
-
Reboot to Download Mode
Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time.
-
At this point Odin should have detected your Galaxy Gio (Yellow rectangle should appear).
-
Insert the Stock Rom or Custom Rom.
-
Click Start button in Odin and wait about 5 min.
-
Reboot and wait

Method 3: using usb jig: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=METM3teG5rI
It's not my fault if you hard brick your phone using this methods.
Thanks for answering, but i cant enter recovery as i mentioned early and also odin doesnt detect my phone in download mode :s. When the samsung logo just stays i plug also the usb in then the pc says it cannot recognize the device and its listed as unknown which i before also mentioned. When i attempt to enter recovery it just also stays at the samsung logo and isnt entering it :s..
Bumpbumppp
Guys i still dont got the answer :c
Hello everyone, it's with a great thrill that I found a couple of days back the existance of the beautiful wackyrom available on your forum.
After considering it I took willingly the risk of installing it... and following all indications of flashing cwm via odin and wiping all for of data in the proper oder, I got myself stuck in a pretty unpleasant situation : CMW recovery loop. I tried to start from scratch again and again and I even tried to go back on the stock firmware (which wasn't the original french one installed on my phone but a foreign one). I know I may have made a newbie mistake, but seeing the strength of your helping community Im hoping to revive what now looks more to me like a brick phone than ever. In advance, I thank all attention and anwsers to my case.

Flash this Stock recovery via odin : http://d-h.st/hcA
Instruction:
1) Put phone in download mode by powering off ,home button and volume down while plugging the phone into the computer(if don't and don't understand search google their are many guides and videos for it)
2) You should now see the first square in Odin turn yellow and say "Ready"
3) Click on the pda tab in Odin and select the Stock_Recovery_GT-I8552.tar you downloaded
4) Click start and wait for your phone to reboot
5) Done!
Well, I should have added that to the list of things that I have tried before. The only divergence to your methode is the fact that the keys to force start the downloading mode does not work so I only can acces it thrue a restart in downloading mode within CWM...
I have wiped all pilots/kies traces off my computer, checked rooting of the phone using kingo android root, reinstall my drivers from scratch and yet Odin still dont recognise it.. Does anyone have a clue?

I also have the same problem. I have read all threads from google about this matter, that say flash rom, clear whatever2, blaz bla
BUT, still for 3 days I cant fix it. when it stuck in boot looping or turn off, odin didnt recognise my phone
Dear friends,
Install Samsung kies and it will install all the proper drivers for your phone.
Then use another port of your pc or laptop to connect with odin.
If changing your pc ports doesn't work then try to install kies on another pc perhaps.
After the phone gets connected to pc follow @lols21.10 instructions.
Worth a try.

Also: if Odin don't recognize your phone, try to change your usb cable
Changing PCs worked for me a while back.
not working

Does Odin recognize your phone when in download mode?

not either. because my phone need to be turned on in normal mode when connect to my pc, then i need to choose the usb option whether to transfer files/camera/charging.
and only then Odin say "ready"
Do this: put your device in download mode and then you reflash firmware with Odin.
You can do this by turning your phone on pressing the buttons HOME, POWER and VOL DOWN. When your phone vibrates, release POWER and keep pressing ther other two. A screen with a warning will appear, and you press VOL UP to confirm. After that, you open Odin, plug your phone on computer and select the stock firmware by clicking on button "PDA" at Odin. And then it is just start and wait.
Same Problem
my samsung grand quattro get stuck at cwm too.. it keep booting to recovery mode when phone start up, I cant connect to Odin because I cant access to debugging setting.. HELP PLEASE :crying:
Please can you assist me.
I've read through so many threads explaining that it is easy to fix if I use ODIN. However I cannot seem to get ODIN to recognize my Galaxy S3.
I was doing a factory reset on my device, which has Cyanogenmod installed. Upon rebooting, the phone is now stuck with the Teamwin logo and it continues to loop.
In cannot seem to charge the phone because it's stuck in this mode and when I install ODIN and along with the SAMSUNG USB Drivers. I have no luck with my computer recognizing the device. I am able to get into the Download mode by holding Power, Volume Down and Home buttons - I click Volume up to continue. I then check my ODIN screen and it never appears to say ADDED or anything of that sort.
I'm scared that my phone is going to soon run out of charge and then I will not be able to even attempt to fix this. Please help me.
I've tried the above steps in both Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 and cannot get either of them to recognize my device.
N.B. I have also tried different USB ports as well as different USB cables.
Once again, I plead for any assistance.
Can u go to the custom recovery ??
If so
Do a clean wipe
Do a factory reset (do not do a clean to install new rom,just erase your data)
Wipe your cache
Wipe dalvik cache and see if u can boot it up
Goodluck
Use the latest odin version and see
And why didint you take a nandroid backup before installing custom roms
If u took it
Just restore it
U will surely boot it up
Hi there,
Thanks for your reply.
I managed to solve the issue by using a computer which already had my device USB drivers installed.
The other 2 computers I tried didn't seem to want to recognize the device due to the bootloop - but when linking up to a computer which linked to my phone prior to the ordeal, ODIN then recognized the device and I was able to load stock rom back on.
FYI, I wasn't able to access recovery.
Thank you for your quick response.
I was going to wipe data via twrp in my tab 4.but suddenly i wipped system too, and when i reboot it went to bootloop. I tried to go into recovery mode but couldn't and also it is not getting in download mode. I tried all but it just power on and hangs in logo. And when i plug in pc via usb while hanging in logo pc recognise my device also odin does recognise. I think after wipping system i wiped whole rom of my device and i think it is empty. So what is the problem can i recover it? It happend just two days ago.

Try to flash your phone back to stock with odin or SmartSwitch , and later if is everything fine try to find stable twrp recovery image.
Can i do that without download mode?

As I know you can't but if you are unable to enter in Download mode using combination keys you can use JIG USB in order to get into Download mode.
Where can i get jig usb? How much does it cost?
