Hello all, I'm very new at rooting so bear with me please!
I've been trying to follow the instructions to boot my phone into stock recovery in order to flash clockworkmod for the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G. One of the steps is to reboot the phone into "stock recovery" by holding the volume up and power buttons at the same time. My phone will simply continuously restart itself while the power button is held. There is no screen that appears where I can click the button for updating my sd card to install the clockworkmod software, though this is what all the forums are telling me to do in order to boot into stock recovery. I've tried several times, and my phone always just restarts as if I'm not trying to do anything fancy, just goes right to my main screen with no changes. Help please?

I believe the problem your having is that your holding the power button too long. You only need to hold the volume up and power buttons until you see tiny blue or other tiny text in the upper left hand corner of the screen saying the phone is entering recovery mode. This should take you into the stock recovery. Let me know if you still have questions .

Yeah I gave it a shot. When the phone restarts, the first thing on the screen is the Exhibit 4G logo, there's never any tiny text in a corner or anything like that :/
Even if I only hold the buttons briefly, the phone either turns all the way on to my main screen, or doesn't turn on at all if I don't hold the buttons long enough. I really wanna get into ROMing after seeing how great rooted phone apps were. I'm not sure what's blocking my phone from getting into the stock recovery.

Do you have adb setup on your computer? If you do you can type the command:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
From adb to reboot into recovery mode.

Yes since Macs use OSX which is based on Unix it should work. Just make sure you follow this guide to setting up ADB and fastboot on Mac if you haven't done so already http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237.

Worked like a charm, thank you for your help!
So I need help again... I downloaded the file "cwm.6012.t679.zip" and dropped it on my sd card. When I booted the phone into stock recovery, I tried to apply that update so I would have clockworkmod recovery. Keeps saying signature verification failed. Any other suggestions? If it's not one thing, it's the next....

If you can post the link to the guide your using I can try and take a look. Also try removing the extra periods from the file name so instead of "cwm.6012.t679.zip" try "cwm6012t679.zip".

I found some posts in the forums on my phone's model number. (SGH T759) Further research indicates there may be no clockworkmod recovery available for this device. A combination of various root apps have made this phone a powerhorse, so it's a shame there were no further developments for this phone in particular. I appreciate your effort to aid my case. You were very helpful.

Hey all, I just got a new phone. First off, I'm really confused here... When I boot my phone it says GT-I9100 but according to XDA the AT&T version should be the i777. Please move this post if it is in the incorrect place.
I successfully rooted my phone using Odin, installed ClockworkMod, tried to make a backup before making any changes, but now while in recovery mode I can use the volume buttons to scroll around but cannot select anything from the menu. What button is normally used to select in CWM for the Galaxy S II that has the 4 touch buttons, not the big one in the center?
When I try to reboot my phone or pull the battery I get this:
-- copying media files...
successfully copied media files.
# MANUAL MODE #
--Updating application...
Successfully updated application.
--Applying Multi-CSC...
Can't access to '/system/csc/ATT/system/'.
Succesfully applied multi-CSC
Then the phone is stuck on a "reboot now" screen.
HELP PLEASE!!! Literally just got this phone, please don't tell me it's just an expensive paperweight now!

Thanks for the info guys. It's good to know at least that I'm pushing the right buttons. Now I just need a fix since they're obviously not working. My phone will not boot past this. I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this issue or if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix it?
Have you tried to go back into download mode? If you can then I would get entropy's stock rom and reflash back to stock and try to start over.

djbiker24seven, Was this ever resolved?
I'm having a simliar problem. I booted my phone into ClockworkMod 4.0.1.4 to install cyanogenmod and I can navigate just fine using the volume up/down buttons, but the power button will not select anything. If I press one of the soft buttons on the bottom of the phone, the screen just shows a fedora graphic. If i reboot the phone it constantly boots back into Clockwork and I can't break the loop. I can't get back into download mode either.
If anyone has any insight it would be appreciated.

In theory, someone could release a kernel with CM4.x for the I777 - but no one has.
If you're in CWM 4.x, I have NO clue what the hell you installed - it sure wasn't for your device.

There comes a point where i wish old posts were auto locked; or bumping them required a mod's approval first..
Ah well, one more to close myself...
flashed a mod, stuck in boot-loop,
want to boot back into CWM, but I can't seem to do it.
I can get into download mode, but if I hold up + power it just does a weird vibrate once a second and never boots into anything.
Am I missing something here or how can I either get adb to recognize it (sometime in the boot sequence or download mode) or boot straight into cwm?
In lieu of an expert, I think you need to release buttons after vibrate
Assuming you have correct buttons, I have seen up+/home/pwr to boot into recovery, but that may be from pwr off state
Well I finally got it.
Had cmd open and kept hitting up then enter then up then enter on the adb reboot recovery command really fast throughout the boot-loop, when the att logo came up it caught it and rebooted right into CWM.
I wish I knew how to hard-boot this thing into recovery, but I guess that ghetto adb worked for now, lol.

oh I didni't know about home, Jesus christ you gotta have some fingers to hit all three of those buttons across this damn phone, lol.

I wasn't stuck in a bootloop or anything, just wanting to do backups before I really started tweaking my phone. But I used this method as well. Couldn't figure out the button combo so just did it in adb.
Use quickboot since you got root to boot into recovery in future
It's both volume keys + power to boot into recovery.

I used Odin and I tried like 3 times and nothing..the phone boots up normal..hold the power+volume up...and CWM won't show on my apps drawer...any other way?
I believe your supposed to hold all 3 buttons to get into cwm...not sure what you mean about app drawer...there won't be an app for cwm.
Edit: power and volume up is for download mode.

Nothing...it just boots up back..
From a powered off state, hold all three buttons till you feel a vibrate and then let go of just the power button. Keeping the volume buttons pressed.
From a powered on state, if rooted go to market grab terminal emulater, type in the commands
su (then a superuser prompt will pop up, allow it)
Reboot recovery
Or with adb installed on your pc and USB debugging enabled on the phone, plug in phone open a command prompt and enter,
cd (the file path to where you have adb installed)
Adb reboot recovery
There are several ways to do it.

You need to turn off signatures verification but have you considered re-downloading the file again? sounds most likely a corrupt file.

Do u think flashing Rom which loses root, and then rooting again, might help.
Also i will need Rom to flashable via odin. to loose root.

I would start all over again. Use Odin to install a stock rooted ROM, then use ODIN to install CWM recovery. Once done you can use the finger method, command line via terminal emulator or DL ROM manager/CWM app & use the boot into recovery button.
Or you can use the one button ICS odin leak then use ODIN to install CWM recovery.
there are so many ways you can do this.
Try the adb method of installing cwm...
If you have root and adb installed.

Hi all,
My Transformer Prime will not boot past the initial Asus screen. It's remains stuck on this screen but when I hold power down, the device reboots. I am not able to get into recovery using power and vol down, then vol up. I cant turn the device off, it reboots every time. When I try to hold vol down while rebooting, the normal white writing doesn't appear, it just continues in the same loop at the Asus screen. I dont even get as far as the EeePad splash screen. I'm at a loss for what to try. I can get into recovery or fastboot and it wont connet to the pc. Am I screwed? All of the advice I can find needs recovery etc. The problem started when I tried to wipe the device. Could it have deleted the recovery image, rom etc? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

First, this belongs in q&a or general. Your problems have nothing to do with development.
Secondly, I posted a link a while back in the EOS3 ROM thread in reference to recovering from the exact scenario . The post includes which tools, drivers, and the process in detail on how I recovered down to the command for fast boot flashing the recovery ( which had a specific value for the device ).
EDIT:
Here is my detailed post. Try that and see if fastboot works for you. I was literally in the exact same boat not terribly long ago.

Aso I forgot to ask.... were you already on a JB boot loader? If you were on ICS, make sure you download the ICS blob for twrp from the link and not the JB blob. That's crucial because if you flash the wrong recovery, you are screwed lol.

He likely wiped all of his partitions ( including recovery ) like I did by accident. Fast boot was a pain in the arse for me until I used the -i command along with the new drivers. Hopefully my post resolved his issue.

Thank you for your response so far and apologies for putting the thread in the wrong section. The instructions given were great, only I am unable to get into fastboot. When I try and turn on the device holding vol down, it just boots normally. It doesn't give me the white writing and options I had before. I can't seem to turn the device off either. When I hold the power button it reboots, but doesn't shut down. What can I try to get into fast boot?

He likely wiped all of his partitions ( including recovery ) like I did by accident. Fast boot was a pain in the arse for me until I used the -i command along with the new drivers. Hopefully my post resolved his issue.

Sorry, it was a typo. I meant that I cant get into recovery or fastboot. No matter what I try. Ive never heard of fastboot disappearing. Any thoughts?

Did you do the nvflash process at any time and keep the blob files?
If you didn't and you cannot get to fastboot then I'm afraid that you are hard bricked

No I didnt do the Nvflash. I unlocked and rooted a while ago, before nvflash was around and havent looked back since. Has anyone ever heard of fastboot being deleted? Ive always been able to get into it.

Try holding the down and power button while its on to force shut down, then keep holding volume down as it reboots?
Also, what were you in the process of doing right before the issues began? Did you install something with a different bootloader? You could have wiped bootloader which means you are hosed . . . ..

I've tried holding the buttons down while it reboots but nothing happens. If I hold the vol up and vol down while pressing power, the device turns off completely.
The problem started when I tried a factory reset in CWM. It crashed after a few seconds and the device rebooted. Not there doesnt appear to be anything on the device. I havent heard of CWM doing this before.

Without fastboot and nvflash there is no hope for recovery except for calling asus and requesting an RMA.
It sounds like your device has the boot to recovery flag, but with a broken recovery, something which the bootloader has no exit path from.

Without a bootloader you will not get any output from the device, the bootloader is what displays the asus splash screen. Without it the device would just drop into apx mode.

This is probably a silly question but if I send it back to asus for rma should I just claim complete ignorance as to how this happened? Or should I come clean? Has anyone done a rma before? Any idea of time scales or cost etc? Thanks

Do not lie but don't tell the whole truth if you know what I mean
Don't go into too much info and get straight to the point, also don't show any technical knowledge.
"It doesn't turn on any more, it just flashes on a screen showing Asus".
"It wont turn off"
If you are lucky and they just look at it and not check what has happened they might just switch motherboard rather than messing with it.
Also try to run the battery out first. Harder to check
You shouldn't be covered at all because you agreed to that when you unlocked, but you might get lucky while staying truthful
p.s. I find my grandmother can get away with it more than me
Anyone's help would be FANTASTIC!
I downloaded and installed LiquidSmooth 2.6.5 on 06/15/13 wiped everything necessary, went to reboot and it said i wasnt rooted would i like to install SuperSU, i installed it and it rebooted to a black screen and wont go any further. all it does is vibrate every couple of seconds. Is there ANYTHING i can do to get back into TWRP recovery? stock recovery? flash the stock image with Odin? it wont boot into TWRP, or download mode.
Please help, might have bricked my hard earned Verizon S4
Hi,
I've recently just installed the TeamWin Recovery Project.
my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 has been rooted, and I even checked with some application on the Google Play market, and it has indicated that it indeed was rooted.
But I still kept on getting the annoying "some application need attention blah blah blah..." in the notification bar, and when I click it it gave me options reboot now or reboot later.
Of course I clicked "reboot now" and after a while, I messed up on my cyananogen mod I guess and I recovered using TWRP through a back up that I have already made prior to flashing the CM 10.1. And it was working normally.
Then I some how went to the TWRP again and it said that my phone wasn't rooted any longer! So I swiped the "root the device now" knob thing and ever since then it has been stuck in the "samsung" screen with the unlocked labeled as "custom" underneath.
Even if I try to do Volume Up + Power + Home button it doesn't send me back to the TWRP screen, rather I see the indication that TWRP has been initiated, but it just crashes and turns my phone off.
When I do Volume down + Power + Home button I can get to the Download mode, but it doesn't seem like my computer can recognize the device.
After the Download page and I push the Volume Up button for the actual download mode on the top left it says
Odin Mode
Product name: SCH-I545
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
CSB-OEM_Config-LSB: 0x30
Write Protection: Enable"

And when I do get to this point my computer does recognize the phone and I know this by hearing the usb connection sound that a computer makes.
How do I get my phone back to factory state so that I can maybe once again trying rooting it again?
Thanks in advance.
and I apologize for so much information even if the rules say that I should be brief as possible, but it felt like the details were needed. (correct me if I'm wrong).

I'm having the exact same issue. Just rooted today and then using CWM I formatted and installed liquidsmooth. After rebooting it just vibrates. I tried going into Odin by pressing volume down+up+home+power and it just vibrates. Have I ruined the phone?

I can't get into the download/odin screen. When I press power + home + volume down it just vibrates.
I don't understand how I could have hard-bricked the phone just by formatting.
Just before rebooting, CWM prompted me "saying root access might be lost" and I hit ignore.

Boot phone into ODIN mode (power off the phone, then press and hold Vol Down + Power then press Vol Up). I think you might have done it wrong.

Thanks DarkMenace. I was able to restore my phone. For some weird reason it refused to go in Odin mode if I didn't have a USB cable plugged in.
I used the stock image, just wondering if I'm still rooted?

If you use a Stock Image you lose root and have to do it gain.
What is the fix?

I have the same issue after flashing Liquid-JB-v2.5-OFFICIAL-d2vzw yesterday 6/19/13. Wiped everything, factory reset, hit reboot, it said my device appeared not to be rooted and asked if i would like to install SuperSU. I said yes to install it. When my device rebooted, I got a black screen and my phone won't go any further. It just vibrates, every 2 or 3 seconds. I can get it into download mode. I tried to flash the stock firmware back onto it but when it reboots after, it goes back to black screen and vibrate. Thanks.

Just curious on something.... Not trying to be a jerk. Why are you sending pm's instead of replying in the thread? If your pm is helping this person I'm sure it could help many people if it was in the thread. Unless your a Verizon employee with secret unbricking files or something

Responded to you via PM as to not start any issues here.
I am in a similar situation, I am able to get into Odin mode, though my model number is SCG-I545 if that makes a difference.
