Is there a reason why my phone won't stay in flash mode? I am just trying to use the s1tool and the green light will only stay on for a few seconds then it boots up. Anybody help?
Hi,
I need your help.
I am stuck in recovery mode.
I was in fast boot mode and I flashed recovery file for ICS and installed SU as per instructions.
I thought I have to disconnect the cable to go into recovery to install from SD Card and I did the same.
Now I have to get into fast boot mode to flash the original kernel.sin to get into normal mode.
Please help. I am stuck and I am trying to turn off the phone to get into fast boot.
Hold the power button and vol up for about 10 seconds, You will feel it vibrate...
Thanks a lot!!!
I was able to switch off the phone and was able to get into fast boot mode.
I flashed the kernel and I am able to see my home screen now.:good:
Have a Wonderful day/nite.:laugh:

BUMP!
I'm having a similar problem. I managed to get the phone to fastboot mode, but when I wanted to flash the new firmware, Flashtool is stuck at the popup saying you need to unplug and replug the USB.
By stuck as in, there is no progress in Flashtool after I connected the phone in fastboot mode. Any help?
EDIT: Never mind. I tried to use a different Kernel again, and I managed to solve it. The one I use initially must be for GB.
Hi Guys,
After Updation my Xperia S is not Starting Up,
Can somebody tell me how to start it on ?
i rooted my device and flashed a nightly build of CM 10.1. it was too glitchy for me and i saw a build that i liked more ( google editionv2) but when i tried to flash that from TWRP it would just stay on the bootloader or the GS4 screen forever. getting nervous i decided to try to fix it by flashing a .md5 fix from odin. i watched this video /watch?v=bxNPHKKpvtQ and did all the steps correctly and odin even said it passed but when i try to boot it up it goes to the GS4 screen for about 2 seconds and then turns off. and i cant even get into a twrp anymore! Is my phone dead or is this fixable ?!?!? :crying: PLEASE ANYTHING WILL HELP thank you. and i am not the most experienced with all this stuff but i know a little more than the basics so explanations in detail would be nice
Edit: when I run it in Odin and use the file provided in the video it seems to get out of the boot loader while connected and goes to the android screen with the blue square in the middle, then it goes to the Samsung logo video but then right when it seems it will work Odin says the device has been disconnected and then my s4 goes to a battery charging screen. And then Odin says it passed, but when I try to boot it up it goes to the boot loader for half a second then turns off. Did I brick my phone ?
So here is a quick overview of a problem.
Had Cyanogen mod installed on the phone and something went wrong for no apparent reason. The phone just got stuck on the infinite loop and the recovery would not load as well. So I flashed the phone to stock firmware and that did not help (Did it with odin and kies) also tried installing clockwork mod but that did not help neither. Phone restarts and get stuck on Samsung loading screen. When I go to download mode phone also restarts after few seconds of me being in download mode(But after few restarts is stops, so that makes DL mode available) . Recovery menu is not available(Displays a broken robot with no errors on the bottom and also restarts after few seconds of me being in recovery menu). If anyone would help me out with this I would really appreciate it.
Restarting in download mode is usually a stuck power button, try giving it a wiggle before you insert the battery.
Flash a full stock rom with odin, then boot straight into recovery and factory reset. Look for any error messages in recovery.
Hey there,
I was actually searching a lot about my problem but I can't find a solution anywhere so I wanted to ask you people.
Here is the story;
I tried to install twrp using a 3rd party Google play app it downloaded and said installed the twrp and asked whether I want to reboot the phone or not. Then phone got stuck in bootloop. Looks similar to the other ones but believe me it is not.
Here is why;
- Phone keeps restarting I can't even charge the phone because of that the battery just gets drained so I can't connect it to the pc
- Can't enter recovery or the fast boot mode I tried all key combinations only volume up+power works for me and it shows 3 selections. Recovery mode,fast boot mode,normal boot mode. When I select recovery mode it shows HTC logo and just keeps bootlooping. When I select fast boot mode it just says fast boot mode initiating and gets stuck there ( waited 5 hours ) when I select normal boot it already doesn't boot.
- I can't charge the phone to flash on pc since I have to have at least %35. Whenever I connect charger it starts bootlooping and never stops. Like literally I tried 24 hours and it never stopped.
- I am using Android 4.2.
Does anyone have any idea on fixing this ? This is my work phone and I can't get it to work. This is really very frustrating.
Can anyone help me get to the recovery mode ? Is my phone bricked ? If so is there any way to recover the phone or the data inside of it ? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
So... any ideas ?
