can't boot into recovery mode, twrp, after flashing wrong rom - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

so i accidentally flashed the s3 version of a rom on my s4. I'm rooted with twrp installed and trying to get into recovery mode but can't. what's the trick?? i hold down volume up, home and power and the phone vibrates but the screen stays black.

you'll have to boot to download mode (if you can) and flash the stock ROM in odin. If you can't get into download mode then your phone is pretty much dead.

Do i flash it in the pda section??

Yes.

The rom is in a zip and isn't showing when I go into the pda section. I can only see tar files.

[Q] Ace 3 can't boot recovery

Hello all. I have a new ace 3 LTE S7275R. I tried installing CWM recovery found here:
http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/12/...7275r-clockworkmod-6-recovery-complete-guide/
I tried with odin 3.07 and 1.85
Every time, odin shows success, but when trying to boot into recovery, the phone gets stuck at "recovery booting...."
The phone is otherwise working
Any help getting CWM to work? Or alternatively, how can I return to stock recovery at least?

people did you know that if you flash original OS for s7275r like mine you can escape from the terrors of the bootloop or whatever you call it? Download it from samsung-updates.com and flash with odin in download mode. Its a bit tricky to get to the download mode, but if u take the power in and out a few times and then proceed to enter download mode it should not be prob.

The brother is right.
I did the same thing and got myself back to stock firmware and recovery.
Guess we have to wait for the official image from clockworkmod themselves.

help s2 i777 brick

hello friends I have a problem with my s2, is that recently had cm 10.2 and they were giving me problems the gapps then I recommended re-they install gapas, is that hize but mistakenly install gapps that were not then when lit would not let go when the phone boot configuration came out I went out and pulled me wrong, I thought of reinstlar again but this time let me not get into recovery mode (rare) good then wanted to try the last SamMobile stock and with odin and now flashe not pass the screen of at & t, and does not enter recovery mode still only download mode, and been reading and what I see I q flash a rom 3 files for q re-partition is made and is clean, any suggestions?
You posted in two forums. Please do not double post. One is sufficient.
No need to repartition.
Do not repartition.
Enter recovery - hold all three buttons, (power, volume up, volume down) continuously until the boot screen appears the second time, then release.
Perform a wipe data/factory reset. If your phone boots, you are done...
If you are still unable to enter recovery, re-flash the stock firmware:
Download Odin3 v1.85.
Download I777UCMD8_I777ATTMD8_I777UCMD8_HOME.tar.md5.7z.
Extract I777UCMD8_I777ATTMD8_I777UCMD8_HOME.tar.md5 from the 7z archive, and flash in the PDA slot of Odin3 v1.85.
Then enter recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset.
thanks, sorry
but I re-flash with odin and the firmware but still do not go to recovery mode and then flash the screen stays on at&t log i need to enter recovery mode

Did you follow my instruction for getting into recovery?
If you flash the stock firmware that I linked above, and you got a pass, then you should be able to get into recovery.
If you are unable to get into recovery, then either you are doing something wrong, or the phone has some sort of internal damage.
if I did I think I have the boot porblem

If you have root, download an app called flashify from the play store, and use it to flash this file,
https://www.dropbox.com/s/foh6ps3tt1wb7ga/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-hltespr-4.4.img
You must be on TouchWiz KitKat for this to work.
What you're experiencing is most likely recovery loops. It occurs when going into recovery when mashing all 3 buttons for too long (home + volume up + power).
If flashing from Odin, let go of the power key as soon as it begins to go into recovery. Otherwise it'll keep forcing into a strange horizontal screen line, continuously, or go into system.
Good luck!

Ok so I got flashify and found the flash twrp option and I did it my phone went into bootloops I dont know why but to fix it I just odin flashed cf-auto-root and that got me out of the loop. I also dowmloaded the file from where you said but it comes out as a disk to burn and is not read by odin. hope you understand! Still need some help!!!! Please.
Here is another way to try, first what version of Odin are you using? I use version 1.85 her is the link http://www.downloadodin.info/download-odin-1-85 instead of twrp I use Philz CWM recovery version 6.12.9 the latest for Sprint, here is the link https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hltespr/ download the .tar file to the desktop of your PC. Do you have Samsung drivers installed on you PC? Here is the link http://androidxda.com/download-samsung-usb-drivers download and install on PC.
Now lets get started, first pull the battery on the phone, reinstall, reboot device in download mode ( press and hold volume down, power button, and home button at the same time till mode starts, then press volume up to continue ) now start Odin on desktop, then click on PDA a box will come up click on desktop, then click on the .tar file, it should come up in the box next to PDA. Now connect the phone to your PC via a USB cable. A box in the upper left hand corner of Odin will light up COM: doesn't matter what color or number just shows a connection is made. Now click start, and wait till its done it will say pass. If the device doesn't reboot, unplug and reboot device. Now power off and boot into your new recovery. ( Press volume up, power button, and home button at the same time till you see some text on the top of the device then let go )

There is no reason to use the auto root package.
Just flash the NC5 tar, then Odin TWRP.
Follow the instructions on my NC5 tar thread.
Latest TWRP tar is here...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/x4mqer180pt4yxt/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-hltespr-4.4.img.tar
After flashing the above, dive straight into recovery using your phone's hardware buttons (volume up + home + power, then let go of only the power button after you start to reboot).
From there, flash one of the pre-rooted roms on the dev forum, or just the latest root zip, here,
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vgqvxsn7qal5q6c/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip
Good luck!

Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6 (YP-GS1 Europe) stuck on recovery menu

Hi guys, I've got the European version of the Galaxy player 3.6, and I'm stuck on recovery: The home button doesn't work, and I believe it's because I flashed 4.2 kernel by mistake, when on android 2.3.6. I can't turn it on, because it loads up the recovery menu. I have tried to search for this issue but I haven't found an answer, so I posted it here, is there anything I can do or is this dead for good? Thanks in advance

It's on the device.. Uhm it's basically something that appears whenever I turn on the phone, I can't access recovery or anything else, I can get to the part where it asks me to press vol up, but when I let go of the other buttons to press vol up it goes to the firmware screen, and I've tried almost everything, I tried not letting go, pressing volume first then letting go, trying to outspeed it, but it just won't work

at first the touchscreen didnt work, I don't really remember what I did after that and then just got stuck on recovery, now I cant even access recovery..
How do I use ADB?
EDIT, I flashed a stock rom with odin, but the kernel is probably still wrong, since I can't use the touchscreen.. but not stuck at that firmware thing anymore.. I'll try flash the kernel you recommended
EDIT 2: I can't flash it for some reason, it gets stuck at NAND Write Start!! any other kernels you can recommend?

So, you can get to download mode? Then you shouldve flashed the kernel first. And then flash stock rom through recovery mode! You dont flash a rom with odin.
ok, so where is that NAND write start showing? if its on ODIN. use another odin version, try this one by androthan http://www.mediafire.com/download/82latn22s1kl7w2/andromint-Odin3-v1.85.zip
built especially for YP-GS1 eu.
Then flash stock kernel by zaclimon. Then boot to recovery and flash stock rom through recovery.
Heres another kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43190038#post43190038 but that kernel is just for that exact rom. And some other features not working. Check out the thread!

So your phone is unbricked now? Pressing Home + Volume up + Power button is the proper mode in booting to recovery mode. Or if you could access internet on the device, install some apps that let you boot to recovery mode (like the RebootManager). The error at the samsung boot logo is perfectly normal!

Complicated issue with recovery mode

I flashed NightmareROM. I found myself do not like it. I decided to flash ArchiDroid (AOSP ROM). I found it required Philz recovery. I flashed it through recovery (CWM). I rebooted to make sure everything is OK. After making Nandroid backup, found myself cannot boot into recovery and cannot boot into download mode after factory reset., but I can boot to system normally. I installed CM installer. It detected my phone, and I was able to boot into download and recovery mode. I can boot into download mode normally. I flashed the latest version of Philz Touch Recovery through Odin. When I want to boot into recovery mode, by pressing the combination, I find myself rebooting normally. When I press the combination, then pressing home + up only after the first reboot, I can boot into recovery. Is there any problem? I did not try to flash something
Change to stock cwm or twrp and test. I'm guessing a recovery problem as I've had this in the past with philz.

Someone flashed it, and he said there is no problem. Could be there is a problem with bootloader?
Bootloader won't be the problem. I use cwm6.0.4.4 and flash any ROM any firmware without issue. Philz is only a recommendations not a must In any ROM/firmware
Flashd TWRP, still having the same problem

Use one of the many apps on Playstore to boot into recovery or use adb. I know PhilZ sometimes can be a bit awkward to get into recovery but the others should be fine.Have you also tried going back to stock and starting again this may solve your problem.
Download and flash cwm 6.0.4.4
Can't help with something I don't use 'twrp'
Question.. Can you boot into recovery or download mode? If not mobile Odin.
And..what ROM are you running now? Are you rooted?

I can boot into download mode normally. I can boot into recovery mode, but I have to press up + home + power, the phone will boot into recovery, but in less than 1 sec it reboot, so I have to press up + home only
That's normal to hold the three button combo or it WONT enter recovery or download mode. Holding the power button alone will just reboot the device as you can see.
