Long story short, i wanted to install a new rom that required twrp to work correctly. i read that i could flash back and forth from twrp to cwm and vice verse just by using their respective file from each other. i downloaded the twrp zip and flashed it from cwm recovery, rebooted and phone booted. i then for some dumb reason used ClockWorkMod app and chose to reboot into recovery even though i have never had any lock using the app. ( always do my flashes manually) Now i am stuck in a loop. phone turns on, vibrates, shows samsung logo then reboots. doesn't matter how i try to turn on. ( odin download, recovery, or regular boot)
Any suggestions??

Can you get back into twrp at all?
nope
Sounds like a stuck power button issue. Vibrates .... Samsung logo ... Black screen ... Vibrates.....

If it fails 3 consecutive times, I suggest moving to Kies for an emergency restore of the device.....g
Before you go any further, I would suggest as Bubba said, to check the power button. Sounds like it's stuck.
Edit: I also see that the latest twrp has been causing issues as well. Either way. Good luck!
I read about the latest twrp issues and im thinking that is whats causing the problems, but i have read that others have been able to fix by just flashing or odin downloading and starting over again.
I don't think the power button is stuck. When i push it, it feels normal, bounces back and everything. If it was stuck would it still mechanically operate normally? Plus i am able to get into odin download mode. Is my thinking wrong here.
I also tried the stock recovery and stock rom from Da_G and both just sat there forever and then failed but it restarted the phone so it must be communicating right?
I really miss my phone, should i be asking somewhere else?
Well...it's most likely not the power button unless that was fixed and you have a new problem. When the power button is stuck, the phone will continue to vibrate and attempt to boot.

i can't use kies cause i can't boot the phone right? or am i miss understanding how kies works.
You can use Kies in download mode and do a firmware upgrade. It sounds like you wiped your OS. You should be able to use the stock Odin tar to recover. I would grab a fresh download and try again. If all else fails, use Kies in download mode and do an emergency firmware flash(or whatever it's called)
kies won't connect to my phone in download mode either. i tried re installing drivers, i went through the kies connection error troubleshooting stuff. i hate to think it is something to do with my pc because i know i have connect to it before when i first got the phone and rooted it. maybe I'll try using the laptop tomorrow. any other ideas please keep them coming. I'll make a nice donation to the one who comes up with something that works.
It won't connect while in download mode like it does when booted normally. It will just continue trying to connect from what I remember. Make sure you grab the phone info behind the battery. I think it needs the model and S/N. Then do an emergency recovery. Been a while but I think it needs to be all caps as well when you enter the info.

Had something similar happen about a week ago or so. Only difference is mine completed the process after reconnecting to odin and re-did the CWM, was all good afterwards. I know it's probably been mentioned but just trying to help. If you can get into factory recovery or download mode, do it, connect to Odin, follow the steps exactly as when you first rooted your phone, no need to install the super user if it's something you already installed previously, do it up until it says passed and unplug from the computer, your device should re-boot, fingers crossed. You more than likely already know what to have checked in odin and what not to have checked. Delete/Un-Install the TWRP newest update and go with I think it is 2.3. something. It helped me, maybe you, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you as well.
Thanks Everyone!
Thanks for all your help and suggestions. I have been trying kies for the last couple days to no avail. (which i wouldn't have even got started if it wasn't for Froid's all caps hint, small donation sent your way for that). But in the end it was my PC, i hooked up to the laptop and bam, first try. Grrr damn windows drivers, i keep threatening to kick windows to the curb, but then again i have paid a dime for any version since 3.1. LOL
Thanks again!
Thank you for the donation. I'm glad you got it all worked out. We're all happy to help(for free) ...Thanks again man...much appreciated.

What did you do just so I know never to do that?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
See if you can get into download mode this way:
Remove the battery. With the battery still out, hold Vol- and Vol+ buttons while plugging in the usb cable. The pc will provide the power.
If it goes into download mode, flash back to stock or another rom if you have a tar.

I was flashing back to stock using Odin and I bumped my phone and it came disconnected (maybe a short in the usb?) Next time I will be leaving the room while I'm doing it! lol. I finally got it to boot into download mode but when i run Odin one click it gets hung at cache.img and when i run regular odin it gets hung at setupconnection for a while before saying Can't open the serial(COM) port. Hope this will help someone help me! Thanks guys!
Sup, the OP is my buddy IRL and I have been helping him get this going. Thought I could add more info since I am more familiar with this stuff. [See what happens when you show off ICS to your buddies... .]
I don't know HOW the phone got where it is, but here is what is up now...
When you turn the phone on normally-
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
When you try to enter into a CWM bootloader, it does not go. [He says he rooted the phone a long time ago before he tried to get started on installing a custom ROM, but doesn't remember what pack. So I am not sure if it was ever really rooted or ever contained CWM.]
When you enter Download Mode-
Tried running 0din regular. 0din recognizes it, yet you try to flash a "root pack" it hangs on flashsys.cfg and says "CACHE" next to the COM port.
Running OneClick 0din by Creepy, it stalls on cache.img
The download Mode says "NO" on flash counter and has the right phone model. I think the warranty will still be good. But I'd like to try and save it.
I feel like the phone has no bootloaders on it at all. But I don't know how to push bootloaders [all 3] onto the phone. I don't know if it is even possible with 0din not even working.
I am lost...

If the phone is showing any signs of life then most likely the bootloaders are fine.
And whether it has stock recovery or cwm recovery - recovery is built into the kernel not the bootloaders - for cwm you will see a cwm recovery version number or for stock recovery you will see 3e for the recovery version number.
If you are getting into download mode and getting an aborted flash then you are close and the problem likely is with either the version of Odin, or the computer you have, or possibly you have a corrupted firmware package - one of these is more likely the issue - if you are able to get into download mode your bootloaders are probably fine.

Try redownloading the Odin one click package just incase the first was a corrupt download.
Also make sure Odin is showing com port is connected just before flash once the phone is in download mode and connected.

yes We got Com ports connected on both the one-click and the regular 0din.

he is bringing it to my computer to try and flash. his USB ports might be broken.
Try flashing just the siyah kernel only via Odin using the tar ball.
ok... just did that. i noticed since i got the phone in my posession that the problem is with the USB connection on the phone... its lose. tried alchohol to clean contacts and didnt help. i have to hold the cable a certain way to get it to flash...
anyways, i flashed Siyah and it flashes all the way, phone restarts... shows android guy with unpacking bag, looks like it will install, then tries to boot. on boot it shows galaxy s2 and yellow triangle.
download mode still boots, but now has a 1 count.
now what?

If you got the siyah kernel to flash you should have working cwm recovery, try to get into recovery and do a factory reset then see if it will boot up all the way.
Also, if you now know how to hold the usb cable you can carefully attempt to flash back to stock with the Odin one click from creepy's thread.

BAM! Fixed! Thanks guys... XDA is the place!! And thank you creepy. Basically after i installed that tar, i installed a root tar. booted right into a rom. Hopefully i can get this USB cable port figured out...
Oh and I have a t989 and I saw the i9100 screen and shat bricks because I am like pavlovs dog trained on not to EVER see i9100 on my phone. Then I remembered, different phone.
You can use a jig to remove the 1 count and I9100 boot screen. You can also install ICS, and then use codeworkx Triangle Away app.

Hello,
I had a working setup with CM9 nightly 20120618, Siyah kernel 3.3.2 and LPX modem.
Due to phone call cuts, which seemed to be a known problem with the LPX modem, I tried to install LPS modem with RomManager premium.
I didn't watch my phone during the whole process, so I don't know if LPS install went successful. I guess it doesn't : I usually had to manually disable signature verification in CWM to be able to flash zip files.
I found my phone with a lighty flashing screen, as if backlighting was switching on and off on a black screen. I pulled off the battery, removed SD and SIM, and tried normal boot, boot to recovery and boot to download using the buttons combo : nothing works, I get the "GALAXY SII GT-I9100" screen and then the flashing black screen. If i press the home button while the screen is flashing black, it starts flashing white, and that's all.
I don't know what I can do now. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thank you
OK. Firstly, CWM & Rom Manager on the same phone is asking for trouble. Rom Manager does not play nice with CWM; has been known to cause bootloops, break recovery & cause 'soft bricks'. So if you're going to use Siyah (or any other kernel with CWM) with CM9, either freeze or uninstall Rom Manager.
Your OP is a bit vague, are you saying you have bootloop ? If you are, I'd do a factory reset in the first instance. If that doesn't work, I'd flash CM9 Resurrection in Odin, then flash latest CM9 nightly (read/follow the instructions in the CM9 discussion thread). From there, you can then flash Siyah if you want. And if you do use CM9 & Siyah again, don't forget to freeze/uninstall Rom Manager.
If you don't want to use CM9 anymore & the reset doesn't work, flash a stock rom (GB or ICS; up to you) in Odin, and go from there. That will give you a clean slate.
Now, if you don't have a bootloop & something else is happening to your phone, clarify exactly what your phone is/isn't doing & can/can't do (does it boot, do you have recovery, do you have download mode), and we can look at it further.
Many thanks for the fast help.
Searching XDA for solutions I had understood that CWM and RomManager doesn't get on very well. I won't make the same mistake again, I promise !
But now my problem is to get back in control of my phone.
To clarify the situation, I don't know what to do because :
* If I try a regular power on, I can see the "GT-I9100", and then a flashing black screen. It seems to flash for ever, but when I press the home button several times it flashes white/black, seems for ever too.
* If I power on pressing volume up, same thing
* If I power on pressing volume down, same thing
So that's not really a bootloop I think since I only see the "GT I9100" screen once.
I discovered a new thing : if I plug the power cable, I have the battery icon on the screen for a few seconds as usual, and then again the flashing screen.
So I wold be VERY happy if I could flash any rom, stock, CM9 of whatever, but as I am unable to go to download mode nor to recovery I don't know how to flash :crying:
Problem solved.
I'll look very noobish on this : I had forgotten to press the home button, that's why I couldn't go to download mode. Flashed CM9 resurrection with odin, then LPS modem, 20120622 nightly, and siyah 3.3.2 with recovery.
Then I freezed RomManager with titanium backup to avoid making the same mistake again.
My phone is back !
Good job sorting it out yourself like that. Glad you got it sorted ;-)

Hello guys,
I own an unlocked, unbranded SGS3 I9300 on the O2 UK network. Samsung Kies happily advised me of a new update for my phone so I went ahead and started to update. This is my first smartphone where I haven't rooted it or flashed an unofficial ROM, every ROM I have used has been downloaded and updated through Samsung Kies.
This time it failed...
It gave me a generic SGS3-I9300 error code. I turned my phone off and back on again, and it displayed the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." error. Plugged my phone back in, ran Kies, started the emergency recovery... it was taking a long time. It reached 19%. I left it for about 45 minutes and it shot up to 47%. A while later, 53% and I went to bed, leaving it on. Woke up in the morning to find that the emergency recovery had failed at 59%. So this morning I have attempted to start the recovery process again... and it has been stuck at 0% (after confirming that I wish to recover) for over 30 minutes now.
As far as I understand it my next step is to install Kies on another computer and attempt emergency recovery from there. Is that correct? If that fails or is not the next course of action, what is?
2013 has not been a great year for technology for me so far and heck, I've flashed custom ROMs, rooted and HSPL'ed all of my previous phones and cannot recall having a problem but I decide to use the official program and the official updates and this happens? Luck of the draw.
Next course of action is to install a custom recovery, and then flash a custom rom.
Seriously.
If you prefer stock though, I think there are stock roms out there which can be flashed via CWM or Odin. Should be there in the dev forums.
Try a different computer. If it doesn't work, download a stock rom and flash with Odin.

You don't need to be rooted. Can you enter recovery mode (vol up + home + power, then release power after logo comes up), then do a wipe.
Try flashing with a different pc, also run odin as an administrator.

Thanks given all-round.
Installed Odin on my dad's laptop and the USB drivers. Flash failed the first time around but swapped USB ports and it sailed through second time.
Phone seemed dead but it appears as though the battery has been wiped down to 0%. Charging for about 10 minutes, the phone booted, installed, updated, optimised and did stuff and finally got into the Android OS as I remember it pre-flash.
Not holding my breath just yet but it appears as if my phone is back in business on a Stock ROM

I will try that, thanks for suggestion :good:
So I tried the above but have same thing happening.
Everything looks as if it's working OK. Odin picks up the phone, I load the image in PDA.
Have Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time enabled (only).
I hit the start button and it's VERY fast - literally few seconds and I get blue RESET! in the top box in Odin.
What's interesting is that after another two minutes Odin will change to PASS!
But that's looong after my phone booted back to normal operation mode, it will also change to PASS even if I have disconnected my phone
Any suggestions anyone?
==== UPDATE ===
What I also noticed is that after I boot to recovery I'm getting ERROR and NO COMMAND - they will flash on the screen and instead of usual Android Robot I have one on it's side with red exclamation mark over it.
No Command and this point is displayed below the "robot".
This is really irritating
One thing when you are flashing a custom recovery on the mega is once you are done flashing with odin you MUST reboot the phone directly into the recovery mode again for like CWM to appear otherwise if you do not do this the stock recovery will be back, this only has to be done once when you first flash a custom recovery..then it will be okay after that.
And with odin that does the same thing for me it says RESET but it still works and after it will say PASS when the phone is disconnected already, not sure why odin does this but seems to have no effect on the flashing part...hope this helps you out.

Thanks for pointing in the right direction.
I've all the same options in Odin but when it auto-rebooted my phone I have quickly pressed the the buttons for going to recovery and that worked. When powering off from recovery I was given an option to disable stock recovery and now it's all as intended.
THANKS!

Thanks for pointing in the right direction.
I've all the same options in Odin but when it auto-rebooted my phone I have quickly pressed the the buttons for going to recovery and that worked. When powering off from recovery I was given an option to disable stock recovery and now it's all as intended.
THANKS!

So I tried the above but have same thing happening.
Everything looks as if it's working OK. Odin picks up the phone, I load the image in PDA.
Have Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time enabled (only).
I hit the start button and it's VERY fast - literally few seconds and I get blue RESET! in the top box in Odin.
What's interesting is that after another two minutes Odin will change to PASS!
But that's looong after my phone booted back to normal operation mode, it will also change to PASS even if I have disconnected my phone
Any suggestions anyone?
==== UPDATE ===
What I also noticed is that after I boot to recovery I'm getting ERROR and NO COMMAND - they will flash on the screen and instead of usual Android Robot I have one on it's side with red exclamation mark over it.
No Command and this point is displayed below the "robot".
This is really irritating

I got same problem when i flashed cwm by phil with odin, what i did is to uncheck autoreboot in odin so after odin finish flash recovery image you need to turn off manually by long pressing power button, and then just boot into recovery, reboot system now and select yes disable stock recovery when prompted by cwm.

This does not work for me?
SPH-L600 (Sprint) Galaxy mega
Android: 4.2.2
Baseband: L600vpubne4
Build: KOT49H.L600VPUBNE4
I tried to use KingoRoot and apparently it's "bricked" my tablet. I've done lots of reading and I'm stuck, and need help please.
1. I have latest Odin, 3.10.7 from odindownload
2. My tablet is a SM-T560NU, and came with 5.1.1
3. I found a recent image for my exact unit model, and have downloaded it: BNN-T560NUUEU1AOH6-20151215094559
The instructions I have seen everywhere say to launch Odin3, wait for the tablet to connect (it does), load the image into "AP" (I do), and turn ONLY on options "auto reboot" and "F. Reset Time" (which means keep re-partition off, which they stress). When I click start, it goes about 5 minutes, then says this:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Binary Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

Help, any ideas? I've tried 2 images.. the one I said above, and another for a SM-T560 (non-NU), and both give the exact same above fail in Odin3.
figure anything out? in th eprocess of downloading and fixing my sm-t560nu tablet also.
make sure you have the correct firmware rom, there's sm-t560 and there's sm-t560nu
same problem, rooted it last night with kingroot, worked fine until i turned it off and tried to turn it back on
did it take forever to download your firmware? if not can i ask where you got it from cuz mine is taking 7 hours to download
well i got mine all up and running, if you're in canada you might have the wrong rom file because the one i needed for my samsung galasy tab E "sm-t560nu" the file name started with xac and not bnn, i had to get mine from
samsung-firmware . org
and pay i think it was 5.99 usd, did exactly what it said at the bottom of the page for the instruction in odin and everything worked great but make sure to use the same email account u used originally when your setting up that tablet on its first boot up
was a lil confused since the instructions said to click on ap/pda and there's only ap in odin3 but ap/pda is renamed to just ap in the new odin.
good luck
Loading a new ROM in Odin, although I 100% had correct one, did NOT help. I could try 1000 times, and it wouldn't budge. The trick was a post I found on another site that talked about a recovery mode.... a hard reset.
What I actually had to do was the following:
1. Go into RECOVERY MODE, and do a reset. (Doesn't unbrick, but allows Odin to work)
2. Go into DOWNLOAD mode, and then use Odin to load image.
Here are the steps for both:
Recovery Mode Samsung Galaxy J1 SM-J120F
Turn off the device
Press and hold Volume UP key + Home Key, while pressing these keys then press and hold Power key for a while
Release all key when Android or Samsung logo appear then you will see Android System Recovery
Use Volume keys to select Menu
Use Power key to Confirm
Download Mode or ODIN Mode
Turn off the device
Press and hold Volume Down key + Home Key, while pressing these keys then press and hold Power key for a while
Release all key when you see ODIN Mode / Download Mode
Use Volume Up key to continue
Use Volume Down key to cancel ( Restart the device )
As for firmware, I got mine from (I can't post url's here yet, forum rules) a place called : You Mobile dot Org. ... for free.
Now if we can find a way to actually ROOT it, I'd be thrilled.
Any help on this? i just got this message and waster an hour downloading the firmware, and still stuck with odin.
i dont see anything saying menu in Recovery Mode

I've rooted my tablet with kingroot and rebooted several times. My tablet still works fine. My tablet is a sm-t560nu
Use Odin 3.07
This method works best with Odin 3.07 using BNN rom.

Read what I wrote above... I tell you how to unbrick it.
First go into recovery mode on tab, then get odin and download image, then use odin to load image into tab using odin and tab in download mode.

kingroot and OEM unlock
use samsung smart switch to fix your SM-T560NU tablet if you used kingroot. I couldn't boot because it said ... "custom binary blocked by FRP" used smart switch it restored the tablet to factory settings. the solution is to unlock developer options and select "OEM unlock" then use king root. king root should warn the user about this issue. Good luck!

Found a copy of firmware on sammobile just register and download. It's super slow if u don't pay but it will finish. Fixed tablet n wife didn't kill me. No more kingroot for that tab. Although kingroot did work for the tab4 that I found in a bush (obviously stolen and ditched cause they couldn't bypass the screen lock)
I have full root, sticks after multiple reboots. I used kingroot, forced it to root, then after de-bloating, unrooted. It has been hanging out in that state for a week while I worked up the nerve to try turning off OEM under development options and telling it to root again, which I did this morning. Is running like a champ now.
Next problem is there is no custom recovery, so I am working to get xposed installed by zip somehow and be able to backup.

You can use Flashfire to install Xposed if you convert to supersu first.
I have been working on TWRP with a tester (I don't own this device) however it doesn't boot yet, I have a feeling I need a permissive kernel, but Samsung have not released the source code yet.
DEVICE TREE:https://github.com/ashyx/TWRP_Samsung_gtelwifi?files=1
I could not get supersu to install no matter what I do so am stuck for now. Has anyone had any experience using flash Gordon to install zips, or know how to get supersu to install?
