I'm pretty sure I pricked my gp4. I have everything wiped on it (no rom) and when it enters recovery mode it fails to open /etc/recovery.fstab and cannot mount any partitions. When I try to enter download mode it doesn't even go to it, it'll just reboot straight back into recovery. I'm running cmw 5.0.2.7 and have terrasilent kernel. I really need help:crying:
Flash your stock ROM. It might work.

For download mode, instead of the 3 key combo, just boot and once the device is on, hold vol- and power until the device reboot, once it reboot, let go the power button but keep holding the vol- button. This should do the trick. Then you only need to flash the stock rom wich you can find in the recoverie thread in development section.

That worked great thanks! It fixed the recovery and mount issues but now when I flash a rom it says it's successful but it only boots straight into recovery.

I've got this too, simply flash terrasilent kernel and it should boot fine.

Do a factory reset then clear cache and in advanced wipe dalvik cache.

I did that and it still doesn't boot into a rom. Should I be running a specific rom, kernel, or completely factory restore (which I don't know how to do)?
EDIT: I got it to work, needed to fully wipe everything. Thanks for the help!

Ok so my Galaxy S2 i9100 arrived today!
I began by flashing VillainRom 1.1 and then decided to give Litening Rom a try, fired up odin, selected the rom and hit start. It completed but instead of rebooting the phone has gone into an endless reboot cycle, just showing the boot screen over and over.
I pulled the battery and am reflashing now, it that doesn't work where do I go from here?
Cheers
Edit: Nope, still not booting up properly
You go to the OP of the VillainROM thread and read the words in big red letters.

So if I reflash VillainRom then enter recovery, wipe user data and THEN install Litening Rom it should work?
Or have I permanantly screwed my phone?
Edit: So I reflashed Villain and it booted up fine, I went into recovery as suggested and selected wipe user data. After that finished I held the power button down until the phone turned off, then booted into downlaod mode and flashed litening. Same problem occurred, I tried this two more times but both to no avail.
What am I doing wrong?
Cheers
flash to stock KE7, then boot into recovery, select wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache, boot into download mode, flash lite'ning rom, then then it should work 100%.
oh and btw, as long as you can boot into recovery/download mode, your device isn't bricked.

Worked brilliant, thanks
I had a similar problem, but I solved it by just booting into recovery mode, wiping data(/factory reset) and dalvik cache and then just flashing then ROM through "download" mode.
I did not have to flash any stock ROM prior to that. Just these two simple steps!
My galaxy player 4 wouldn't boot, stuck in download mode. So, I installed Klins kernel and EtherealROM, it seems to be stuck in a boot loop. I cleared both caches to no avail- I have no idea what to do now
to get out of download mode, hold down the power button until it restarts. Go into recovery mode, wipe data, and cache. Then flash a ROM that u know works. And see what happened to the ROM you tried to flash with. Prob redownload the ROM you wanted, and try agian.

i was wanting to flash my s2 back to stock from the omega rom for the i777 but I flash and it loads but it keeps giving me errors every time I do ive done this with three different stock roms I used odin 3 to flash the tar file can anyone help me I cant even use the phone or set it up
thanks
Enter recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset.
i cannot find a cmw or any recovery that works anyways to flash though odin do could u point me in the right direction
thanks
Assuming that you flashed back to stock as you said, you will have the stock 3e recovery. Boot into stock 3e recovery by holding down vol- vol+ and power until you see the recovery screen. Then select wipe data/factory reset. The phone will reboot and should give you a working system with no fc's etc.
Let us know if all is successful. After that, please describe what you want to do with the phone.

yes that worked thanks so much .... I was just putting it back to stock bc I was going to use it as a backup
I have a serious problem in my rooted S3. After flashing a problematic rom, i was forced to reset nandroid backup(i had already flashed the rom which i take the backup) Restore was successful, but suddenly I had issues with network("not registered on network") After flashing the latest modems from this video everything was fixed.
However when i flash a new rom from recovery, the screen always freezes on samsung logo. The only solution is to reset each time the latest that nandroid I had. In addition today, i have not acess in recovery(philz). What you suggest me to do? Sorry for my enlgish and thanks in advance for the people who answer.

Things are not so simple. I cannot have access in custom recovery menu. As a result it is impossible to flash a new rom,modem,kernel or restore a nandroid backup...
Download mod is working?
Flash stock rom for your region, through odin

have you tried reinstalling the newest CWM of TWRP threw downloader mode and then trying to boot into it.
i would try that before i restore to stock, i prefer TWRP but it is more of a personal choice.

So i flash custom recovery via odin and then i unroot my device. right?
If you want to return your device to stock just grab the correct carrier OTA file for your X and flash it via Odin and you will be 100% completely stock. No root stock recovery and stock Rom
Sent from Rooted Sprint Moto X, TWRP, enhanced kernel
Here is my case.
Was on 4.4.4 SlimSaber with TWRP recovery..
So, i intended to change back to stock rom. Downloaded the stock firmware from sammobile
After that, I used ODIN 3.10 to flash the stock firmware. Everything goes smoothly. But, after the process completed, I have bootloop in the Samsung logo.
Tried removing the battery and replaced it.. still the same.
Now I cant enter the Download and Recovery mode. My PC still detects my device, ODIN still show blue sign when I plugged it in
Any advice for me to recover it?

Wipe data and cache partition in recovery. Turn off the phone and hold 3 buttons at the same time (volume up+home+power). Then wipe data and cache.
