Hi guys,
I tried to unlock the bootloader of my Nexus 10 before rooting it. Unfortunately, it didn't work and I can't use it anymore (I either have the "Loading X" forever or a dead droid while trying to go to the recovery mode).
I'm used to do that kind of modifications (only on Samsung Galaxy S and S3 though) and I don't know what I did wrong (but I usually flashed with Odin).
Anyway, I used this tool (after enabling the usb debug and allowing unknown sources) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001868
I installed the drivers on my PC (menu 1 in the tool), then I could see my device in ADB MODE (in the tool menu). I tried to unlock the bootloader (3rd option in the menu) and it was written completed. My device reboots and nothing happens. I can access the fastboot mode (is it the download mode ?).
I have Odin.
Can someone help me to get a working device ?
Thank you very much.

Easy fix. Get to the dead droid recovery menu and then press all 3 buttons on the top. You will get into the blue recovery options. Choose factory reset.
Sometimes unlocking the bootloaders scrambles a few things on this device and it goes into boot loop. After the factory reset, you'll be fine. PM me if you still have issues.

Okay, thank you very much. I didn't know I had to press the 3 top buttons again after the dead droid screen, I thought it failed loading the Recovery Mode.
I have to setup my account etc again so I guess it is safe to say it worked.
Additionally, I tried this method after the recovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015467
and it worked fine. My device has an unlocked bootloader and is rooted.
hey if someone could help me im stuck myself, after i had the dead android in recovery mode i tried to flash software with the toolkit in fastboot and now when i go to recovery its just a blank screen till i hold the bottom combo again and it takes me back to fastboot

Hey,
I'm having the same problem. I get to the dead droid instead of recovery and tried hitting all three buttons again but it's just looping again.
Any ideas?

It sounds like you didn't actually perform a factory reset. The key combination to get into stock recovery from the dead android screen is Power + Vol-Up. That will bring up the option to factory reset.
So if your powered off or bootlooping, hold the Power + Vol-Up + Vol-Down until you're back in the Bootloader. Use Vol buttons to select Recovery Mode and tap Power. When the droid w/ the Red "!" appears, hold the Power button and quick press the Vol-Up button. This should take you into stock recovery. Select Factory reset. Reboot. After a few minutes, the device should boot normally.
Good luck.

Ok found a video showing that when you get to that part where there's the dead droid (the red !), you don't press hold hold all three buttons but tap them until the recovery screen shows up.
So finally did that but I still have the same problem.
My initial problem was, I received my N10, open the box, turned it on and it started freezing and rebooting. Can't get past the wifi step.
Tried hard and many times to finally get to enter my gmail account, etc
Updated to 4.3, problem persisted so I figured, maybe the factory flashed a bad rom?
So I unlocked it, rooted it and tried flashing older stock versions, same problem.
Tried flashing CM, same; PA, same...
Tried deactivating location service as suggested elsewhere: same; uninstall chrome: same
Even CM withouf GAPPS wouldnt work
So basically, I have a $500 brick. Completely useless as it freezes every 30 seconds.
Decided not to return the device because although I am Canadian, I live in SE Asia and had a visiting friend bring it to me. Way past the return period and the overall experience would be a real pain in the butt... Don't know what to do. Really hoping Kit Kat will solve it but I have doubts.
What do you think?
Sorry. I don't know enough about these things to give more in depth troubleshooting advice. I just recently got my N10 & unlocked it and based on your original post, I thought that's where you needed help. But it sounds like you got past that and got it unlocked.
Have you tried downloading a factory image directly from Google and installing that? If it's locking up on a fresh install of any ROM, it very well may be a hardware issue. You may have to file a warranty claim if possible.

Hi there,
Some weeks ago, after many months of low space problems, I did a factory reset instead of deleting app by app.
But after that, I started having some problems:
Home button doesn't returns to Home, but it still works for mousing off the screen when it's off
Recory is missing
I give apps root, but they don't turn root.
The home button ... well, I can survive without. The Recovery... I haven't used it since I installed it. But the root is very important, as I want to use many apps but I need root to use them.
So well, let's try another factory reset. But nothing changes. So... let's change the ROM. But hey! I need recovery for that...
I haved tried many times to root or unroot the mobile, but it doesn't works. I have done it using many ways in Windows and Ubuntu, but nothing works.
Do you have any ideas about how can I fix this problems?

Instead of tweaking your device by rooting it or unlocking it.. I suggest you to repair the phone's software by PCC or SEUS!

To install recovery use xparts from playstore!
Or if your bl is unlocked then flash any kernel using fastboot! Every kernel with itself has an inbuilt recovery!

I managed to access recovery. And I installed a ROM, hoping that it could repair easily all my problems, plus upgrading my phone at the same time. I installed this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880321
I downloaded all the .zips I saw, and thinking that I could merge all them into a single one, I did. I though that this was the way to do it.
I did a backup of the phone, and erased cache, dalvik and did a factory reset. I installed the merged .zip, and after reboot:
The phone boots, the "Sony Ericsson" screen lasts for a few seconds, then I get a black screen for a few seconds, and the "Sony Ericsson" screen appears again, to dissapear, and keeps looping indefinitely.
I have been trying for a while, but I'm unable to boot the Recovery or even the Download mode. Maybe I don't know how? What I do:
Press power until it boots, wait until Sony Ericsson logo appears, start pressing Vol Down again and again <-- This worked for me earlier for accessing recovery before installing the zip
Hold power, home, and Vol Down (When doing this, after each 10 seconds (after the Sony Ericsson logo fades away, the mobile vibrates shortly, like when powering it off)
Hold power, home, and Back
Hold power and back
Hold and Vol up
Have I bricked it? How could I repair this for installed each zip one by one?
Guess that by now, I'll have to search my wristwatch.
To Enter Recovery:
You have to press back key again and again while booting(on Sony logo appears).
To Download mode:
Power off the phone.
Then plug the usb while pressing back key.
To Fastboot mode:
Power off the phone.
Then plug the usb while pressing menu key.
To Install a stock rom:
Download a Stock rom.
Then flash it via Flashtool.
or
Use PC Companion to repair.

This was the solution. I though that it was some ****ty software that wouldn't work properly, but I have to say that it's intuitive, and have repaired my phone without problems.
Thanks a lot. This have returned my phone to the state of after-buy, which is why I did the factory reset that made so much problems. Thanks!
My galaxy s3 has been stuck in safe mode for two days now which is frustrating as only the stock apps can be used. I have tried different solutions, which I list below.
How it happened.
I was initially on 4.1.1 and when I woke up I saw a notification to upgrade to 4.1.2, after that it did its thing and rebooted into safe mode.
solutions tried
1. Reboot - didnt work
2. take out battery for few minutes and reboot - didnt work
3. boot into stock recovery to try to factory reset phone, Volume button not working so cant select other option apart from reboot. - didnt work
4. Download stock rom from samfirmware and flash using odin - didnt work
5. Flash CWM using odin, didnt factory reset and flashed custom rom (omega). It boots into safe mode as well
6. Downloaded stock ics firmware, flashed using odin . it boots but stuck on samsung logo.
I dont know what else to do. Although am thinking downgrade the bootloader to one meant for ICS the try to flash to ICS stock rom again, would try this later in the day.
p.s Ignore more signature I own a galaxy s3 as well.

It's Volume button work fine??
The problem has nothing to do with reboot. As you can see have already mentioned reboot as part of the solutions I tried.
My device is fine with ICS firmwares but has issues with Jellybean (stock and modded rom including CM10.1). Currently am running ICS on it as thats the only way the phone works properly.
I installed 4.0.4 (XAALF2) via Odin, but it got stuck on samsung logo. Then turned it off and flashed CWM to do factory reset as the volume key doesnt work on stock recovery. After that everything worked fine. I was able to update to the latest 4.0.4 via OTA.
The problem is hardware, so you might want to contact Samsung.
I found some information about "Safe Mode".
It seems that every Android phone has a safemode.
"On Samsung’s devices, almost all users will be able to access Safe Mode with by pressing and holding the menu button during start up. If it’s a capacitive menu key, make sure to release and press again each time the LED under the key comes back on. You don’t want to miss the catch for Safe Mode because the button released itself."
Here is the link where i get the information: http://www.tested.com/tech/android/...ds-safe-mode-to-save-a-phone-from-boot-loops/
You can try it this way, maybe it will work.
Good luck.

I think u missing the point, the phone works fine with 4.0.4 firrmwares, it only get stuck in safe mode when updated to Jellybean 4.1.1 and above. No amount of key combination, factory reset or even custom rom was able to fix the safe boot.
The best option is to send it back to samsung, its definitely hardware issue.

i did a reboot and it removed the safe mode :good:
My personal experience, i overclocked my SGS3 with Boeffla kernel on ARHD then i got freeze screen and phone reebot into safe mode, I entered into recovery and reebot then everithing was fine again.
Safe mode occurs when something in the phone is not working properly , could be hardware or software, however, stuck on it is not a good signal.
my advice is to send the device to service.
Do not forget to reset flash counter via Triangle Away and flash stock factory firmware.
Good Luck! :good:
note 3 stuck in save mode window
This problem occurs after changing to a new simcard not already installed before in the device.
1. Power off the galaxy note 3.
2. Remove the micro simcard from the slot by sliding.
3. Power on the device without the simcard.
4. It will run in a normal mode, if so, this will actually diagnosed that there is a simcard defined by the administrator as default. In the security setting in setting menu and for protection against theft, the original simcard must be insert to unlock this choice of detection of any change in new simcard. New simcard is defined as strange and theft suspected.
I hope this make you reach some solution for your trouble.

Same issue here, it is hardware
I went through a lot of threads and not one had a solution. So I will post here what worked for me.
Customer came to my store with Galaxy S3 (SPH-L710T) that was stuck in safe mode. I tried everything on this thread, nothing worked. Luckily I had a older Galaxy S3 (SPH-L710) with a broken screen, so I switched over the motherboard from the customer's phone to the old one - I did connect the customer's original LCD to the motherboard since my old phone had its LCD broken. Powered it on, no safe mode.
So at this point I just transferred the volume buttons flex cable to the customer's phone. Powered it on, no safe mode again.
Hope it helps someone!
So i hoping someone could give me a hand i have exhausted all of my ideas
My Soft key buttons on the bottom of the phone (menu, home, back, search) have stopped working entirely phone is completely stock never rooted flashed or changed in anyway my first thought was maybe it was a software problem so i booted into recovery my holding vol +/- and power and tried to clear the cache (worth a shot right?) but in Samsung's infinite wisdom they use the Home soft key as select so i am unable to select wipe cache and naturally am unable to select Reboot system as well. i pull out the battery to restart the phone but to my horror the phone automatically reboots into the recovery screen... wtf! tried every combination of buttons physical and soft but i cant select anything in the recovery screen you name it i tried it short and long press of everything even tried booting holding different keys just for the sake of trying.
also tried to connect via adb while in recovery to send a "adb reboot" command but adb will not detect the device tried using every Samsung driver i could get my hands on maybe i am missing something here?
Next i tried rebooting with odin using an empty tar file as mentioned here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766399 but it only restarts to the... recovery screen.... for the love of god.
I'm out of ideas and any help would be appreciated i have no insurance and i have another year before I'm up for a renewal.
your phone sounds broken. deactivate it with VZW and go buy something else on swappa/ebay. (i personally recommend the S3, Gnex, or, **** you get another fassy if you want)
Hey dude, I have the stock Verizon ROM and boot loaders installing those should fix your problem and if you don't want to lose what's in your phone I'm afraid friend you're **** out of luck. Pm or call 423 400 6484 I'll give you the pass to the Google drive I use to send ROMs and such. Good luck.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda app-developers app
Seeing as the buttons don't work in recovery, what do you think will be fixed by clearing a cache? It's called recovery because it doesn't use that stuff.
Best bet? Try flashing a custom rom which had soft key support and enable them right away. With this phone's penchant for phantom key presses you may have just improved your experience with this phone by having them die.
Time to pony up and flash a real rom
Use Odin to flash a custom recovery, As the last poster said, flash a custom ROM with on-screen key options and use that from now on.
I never use my soft keys in recovery as the power button selects all the options I've ever needed. Have you tried using the power button to select on your phone?

Hi,
I HAVE GOT A VERY BIG PROBLEM.After i installed the App AutoRec(i had TWRP befoe,but i thougt when i install it it updates TWRP to a newer version) my phone only starts in Fastboot Mode-no DownloadMode-no Recovery Mode.

Please help me,what can i do?I have the Phone only since 2 two days,an i wouldnt lost it Unhappy
Sorry for my bad english
Can you still get into twrp? With the phone off hold power and vol down til LG logo comes up the release and press again after. Should take you to a menu, just hit yes. If it takes you to recovery just hit factory reset and it'll,take you to twrp. If so, I'd recommend putting a Rom onto an sd and flashing it. You'll lose everything but it's better then losing this beautiful phone

You obviously didnt read his post correctly. He stated that when he gets to the factory reset area which leads you to Recovery Mode/TWRP it shows the LG logo appears and nothing happens.
As for you my friend if you are able to somehow get into download mode with a button combination you have a chance at saving yourself by using a TOT or KDZ file to restore your phone to stock software. But i also have a question for you.........Why the hell would you allow an app to flash a recovery file that has nothing to do with BUMP'D? The Bump'd recovery for our phones is specific to our phones! You should never auto update any recovery unless stated its ok from the Bump'd developers, Which they never did or will because our TWRP Recoveries are different than any other phones because of the bump'd implementations with in them and the boot.img's. Sounds to me like you may have screwed up your partitions and/or boot stack. Your are better going on IRC and requesting the help of TheCubed/IOMonster and AutoPrime, but mark my words you will face some heavy criticism from members of the IRC channel when you explain this story to them. But they are always willing to help.
I dont know why i have done it,im new on Lg.Before i had an HTC there is so many other.I will aks that guys.I hope i can save my new phone.
But the Problem is,i dont get into download Menu,i did everthing

Nexus 9 WIFI 16Gb stock android now stuck in endless boot after OTA 5.1.1.
Unfortunately I have a few valuable files on the device that haven't been backed up. Do I have any options to get the files back?
This is what I've tried so far:
1. Wipe cache from recovery menu. Had a warning about low diskspace before OTA that I had fixed by clearing cache for individual apps.
2. adb sideload 5.1.1
None of them worked. The latter fails because it will only upgrade from an older version and claims I already have 5.1.1.
Do I have any options left to pursue other than set this crappy device on fire and forget about it? :crying:
Mine was updated today and it's randomly rebooting. I've cleared the cache and factory reset from stock recovery like 3 times so far. And I'm still dealing with that. Mind you I just bought this thing this morning. It maybe going back soon if no daylight is found.
Have this issue too (assuming it's from the latest update). I've already done a cache wipe and factory reset. It's still on endless boot. It boggles the mind as to how such a thing can happen on a stock device.
Is there anyone outthere that was able to solve this by not sending the device in?

Is there anyone outthere that was able to solve this by not sending the device in?

Did you ever unlock the bootloader?

No... never. It's completely stock. Any advice?

Hi, conceptics...
If you haven't unlocked the bootloader, or enabled the 'OEM unlock' setting in Developer Options...
SETTINGS>> DEVELOPER OPTIONS>>OEM unlocking (allow the bootloader to be unlocked)
...then your options are limited.
-----
With an unlocked bootloader, or at the very least, with the option to unlock the bootloader, (and which requires the above setting to be enabled, and which requires Android to be fully booted in order to enable it), your Nexus 9 would almost certainly be recoverable by simply reflashing it with a Nexus 9 Google factory stock image, or fastboot flashing TWRP Custom Recovery, and then using an ADB 'pull' command to copy your stuff off of the device to your laptop/PC.
But with a locked bootloader, and likely an unlockable bootloader, these options aren't available.
I suspect you're going to have to return your device under warranty .
-----
But before you do...
Have you tried booting the Nexus 9 into Safe Mode?
-----
Safe Mode is ostensibly an Android troubleshooting mode, designed to temporarily suspend all third party (possibly rogue, badly written) user installed apps (those installed via PlayStore or user 'sideloaded' APKs) and just boots the bare essentials of the Android OS.
Now normally, booting into Safe Mode is accomplished by pressing the Power button as normal for shutdown, and then LONG PRESSING on the 'Power Off' dialogue box/option that appears and which you then just normally tap on.
(See second and third attached screenshots.)
Obviously this isn't an option if Android won't boot in the first place, due to it bootlooping.
But like the older Nexus 7, the Nexus 9 can be Safe Mode booted from a complete shutdown state.
Here are the instructions...

[size=+1]Safe Mode Boot[/size]
From a cold start boot (press & release Power button), wait 2 seconds after the B&W Google (bootloader) splash screen appears, then press and hold Vol-Down button until the normal OS boot is fully completed (lock screen or home screen appears)

Precision is required for this button combination...
Power on the device, and RELEASE the power button after the black and white Google logo has displayed for about 2 seconds, then PRESS AND HOLD the Volume Down button ONLY... and KEEP IT HELD DOWN until the device completes booting.
Whilst this Safe Mode boot instruction is written with the Nexus 7(2012) in mind, it also works with the Nexus 9.
I've just tested this procedure on my own Nexus 9. See last attached screenshot
As you can see from the screenshot, all of my user installed apps are 'greyed out' and are temporarily unavailable for use. Notice also the Safe Mode message in the lower left hand corner.
(See attached screenshot four.)
----
If you do successfully boot into Safe Mode, you can then uninstall any or all third party apps that might be problematic, and more importantly go to...
SETTINGS>>ABOUT TABLET>>Build Number ...and then tap 7 times on the Build Number until you become a 'Developer' (...if only it was that easy... )
...and then go to...
SETTINGS>> DEVELOPER OPTIONS>>OEM unlocking (allow the bootloader to be unlocked)
...and enable (checkbox tick it) that infernal setting that has caused so much trouble for Nexus 9 owners!!!
(See first attached screenshot.)
If all of this works, you can then unlock the bootloader, and reflash the device... .
-----
My suggestions here are what in America I think are called a 'Hail Mary Pass', and I am not particularly optimistic it will fix your Nexus 9 .
But it's gotta be worth a shot.
You have nothing to lose by trying it.
Best of luck, and I hope this helps.
Rgrds,
Ged.
