I accidently booted my phone without loading a ROM onto it and now it won't even start. It doesn't even vibrate. HELP!!
Try holding volume up + volume down + power for a few seconds. If the phone vibrates, let go of the power button. You should have booted into recovery.
nope nothing

How do I put it back to stock if the phone doesn't turn on?
Can you put it into any boot/flash mode when connecting it to your computer?
If so, for a quick fix I would flash the device using Odin or Flashtool and load a Rom that way.
Hope this helped if so click that Thanks button

You gotta get into download mode somehow either with computer and Odin or through different button combination on device try Heimdall as well might be able to use that but if you can't get into bootloader or recovery then it's a wrap

How exactly do I flash/boot via Odin?
There is no change when I plug in my phone into my computer
Yes, do as UncleLester has said. Try hold volume down + power for 10+ seconds. If you're able to go into download mode, you can restore to stock. If the phone doesn't turn on at all, I'm not sure what else you can do...
yeah, I held down the volume up + down + power for almost a minute. Nothing :/
I'm with jpark623 with that if none of the above work I'm afraid your a bit stuck.
What device is it by the way? And how did you get into this mess?
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Download mode is accessible by volume down + power. Recovery mode is volume down + volume up + power. Don't press volume up for download mode.
My phone is not even recognized in the ID:COM Section
Were you able to access download mode? If so, then you need to install drivers. If not, you NEED to be in download mode.

There is a thread with a link to a Flashtool download or do what I done and Google Odin and download that.
Odin and Flashtool are programs that make flashing a little easier, the device needs to be put in a fastboot/flash/recovery mode (depending on device it's usually a combo of volume up + volume down or sometimes including the home button) when it's in it, Odin or Flashtool will detect it thats when you can select your chosen Rom.
I use Odin more than Flashtool just because I came across it first and it's never let me down however I haven't used it in a while, when I downloaded it though it did have a little 'how to' guide so everything you need to know will be im there.

I was trying out different custom roms that I had downloaded. I had just finished one and decided to change it. After booting it into recovery mode, I had wiped the cache and reset it back to factory settings. I tried to load a roam named "JZO54K.N7000XXLS7". It errored and stopped trying to install. Afterwards I ended up wiping it again and resetting the cache to make sure there were no remnants. Following this, I rebooted the phone and now i'm in this position

From just reading that I think your device has had it, if your getting no response from those combos them I doubt the computer will read it as it wont have power.

im having a problem getting into my vibrant phone.... i tried switching to one of the newest overstock kernel roms i followed each step i think and when i want to reboot my phone the only thing that shows up is the samsung vibrant logo and overstock logo over and over again.... i tried to go back into recovery mode but i cant.... so is my phone bricked or is there any other way i can get into recovery mode to get it running again?
Did you try to attach one end of the USB cable to your vibrant while holding down both the volume buttons then insert the other end to the PC?
This should get you to download mode.

I havent tried the usb from the pc yet.... Will it work with macs???
if can't get into recovery without the 3rd button combo, is possible that you phone is hardware locked and probably can't get into download mode. This is just a tip for you and some other people trying new ROMS/KERNELS, do some research on your phone before trying anything on it, such as getting the phone in download mode, using odin/heimdall, remember that by rooting your phone you voided your warranty.

Odin wont work on mac so you wont be able to flash to stock using that but you could try this way to check if your phone really is bricked or not. Then you can try it out on windows and flash to stock if you were indeed able to enter download mode.

You can use Heimdall. I don't think it allows repartitioning, but you can definitely flash back to stock with it. See this thread.
Thanks im gonna try this out.... hope it works
So you can't get to recovery with buttons?

I had rooted my Tab and put CWM recovery on it. But then the TouchWiz update wasn't installing, so I unroot by flashing the OTA, then used Odin to go back to stock recovery. Now I can't even get into downloading mode. I hold the power and Vol down, it pops up for a split second, then goes away and reboots. Anybody got any suggestions?

As soon as you it pops up, let go the power button and volume down key. Then use the volume up key for download mode.

What bootloaders do you have installed? The key combo to get into recovery changes if you are on GB bl's.
From the guide:
Scroll down to "Install from SD Card" and scroll down to your ICS folder. Find your CM7 file and hit it. Once it finishes, reboot. It will probably bootloop. This is normal. Pull your battery and boot into (red or green) recovery again, "Install from SD" and reflash CM7.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Get back into recovery per the key combo for your bootloader and reflash CM7 over itself again. One this also to remember is that when you see the Vibrant pop up, take your finger OFF the power button when doing the key combo. Sometimes this is forgotten while in panic mode.
Well, uh, just saying, my nephew the other day was slobbing on my usb port, & now, the only time i can turn it on is when i plug in the usb. but, now, when i do that, usually when u plug it in, when its off, the battery bar would come up. Right? Well, for my phone, it seems like, the battery would come up, but it would be a loading bar stuck @ it, & I can't access anything. Is that normal for the bootloop ?

Search for a poster named SkorPn. He has a jig in his sig as he makes them I believe.
I had problems with my rooted S3 (International) earlier today, and that's why I thought that flashing a lower version of CWM may fix my problems. However, flashing CWM 5.8.4.0 actually made things worse.
I am currently stuck and cannot navigate out of CWM. Pressing Power or Home don't do/select anything, and browsing the menu is next to impossible, too (menu disappers).
Phone is not recognized by adb, it does not show in Windows Explorer either. Got a "failed to install" when I connected it.
When I try "adb devices", I only get "list of devices attached" without the phone showing.
Whenever I reboot [after bettery pull], I get back into CWM again.
CWM does not react to button presses as it should; doesn't go anywhere no matter which keys/buttons I press.
Battery pull doesn't do anything; neither does Power+Volume up or down
Looks like I am screwed... am I?
Anyone has an idea how I can get out of this and back to either CM9, or install a newer version of CWM (over the obviously dysfunctional version 5.8.4.0)?
Thanks!

[SOLVED] I9300 stuck in CWM > Back in ODIN mode!
Geeez... That was a close one!
Apparently, and in order to get into ODIN (Download) mode on the S3/I9300, one has to press & hold...
1.) Volume down
2.) Home button
3.) Power
Once I did that, my S3 (I9300) booted into ODIN Mode. [ Big sigh of relief!!! ]
I thought it was just Volume Down + Power... but apparently I was wrong. Guess that happens if you don't use Odin for flashing all the time.
Can't wait to get home and flash a proper recovery, so I can get my phone back into work mode. It sucks not having a working phone, trust me on that... ;-)
Thanks for your input, guys!

Has the phone been stock right along? Or has it ever been flashed with custom firmware? I suppose one of the updates, maybe even the latest one, could have installed a different secondary bootloader, which is where the button configurations are stored. But anyway, the odd button configuration is most likely why Phalanx7621 asked if you have the I777.
I don't have a clue why the power button won't select items in 3e recovery. Have you had any problems with the power button otherwise? Power button failure is not too uncommon with this phone. Usually it doesn't fail catastrophically, but little by little. Of course, there can be other explanations.

You need to flash the phone back to stock. Go to this thread and follow the instructions, except instead of using the download link in item 2a or 2b, which is 2.3.4 Gingerbread, go to the download repository and use the download link for 4.0.3 ICS stock, which is in the last section at the bottom of the post.
