[Q] phone won't boot or connect to computer, GS1 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i have an old GS1 that i gave to my brother, it was already rooted any everything so he went and installed a boot loader. now the phone won't boot. it goes to the animation with sound (stock) and then it freezes. i can get to the system recovery, (also stock) but i can't boot into a custom ROM. (maybe there is one with a signatured package as of now any OS would do) i cant connect to the computer though so i don't really have an idea from where to go now. i don't have any data that i need saved. any help is welcomed, thank yoou!

[Q] Booting issue

Hi, i have a galaxy tab 10.1 wifi only (GT-P7510)
Recently i rooted my tab and it was all good. I flashed a ICS rom (AOKP_p4wifi_milestone-4) and kernel (2.6.36.4 cynogenmod + pershoot #1) on it also worked just fine.
However i wanted to get rid of the triangle on the bootscreen so i stupidly googled a solution without checking it. Flashed the wrong bootloader and now my tab won't boot into recovery, wont boot in to download, Isn't recognised by ODIN
BUT
It will eventually turn it's self on and otherwise works perfectly fine, i can do everything but boot into recovery download and wont turn it on when i want it to. So i can use it but i'm stuck with an unfinished ICS rom and i can't flash any other roms in the future (Nor make backups). I have also tried to use ROM manager to flash and it just turns its self off and won't boot.
So is there anyway to flash it to get back into recovery/download mode or better yet are you able to flash the device while its on.
P.S connects to computer fine in MTP mode and i can search the internal sd (copy paste etc.)
Also I'm a noob

Unable to boot to Recovery Mode GS3

Hello
I have been using my int Gs3 for sometime and decided to root and explore the mods and custom fw world. I have started with getting to root access and after that install CWM.
Then I try to install nightly cyanogenmod 10. It didnt work and boot back to normal GS3 Touchwiz interface. After that I tried the GooManager and when the phone is restarted it went to bootloop. I removed the battery and put it back. The problem started there.
The phone does not boot to any OS, I only can see the galaxy s3 9300 black splash screen and awatis there. I can go into download mode, but when I go into recovery mode, I can see the Android robot, and it dies The screen is too fast but what I can see it cannot mount EFS, System and any folder.
So I have tried several different methods
- Tried to flash with original rom, different roms, CWM and what I can find suitable for international model. But everytime I got stucked in Nand Write part. In some of them, the flash started and stucked in installing some parts(passes the cache and hidden and stuck after that)
- Tried with bricked phone roms, different PIT files and Bootloader Vralec methods.
- When I am trying these, I have tried with 3 different PC's with/without KIES and Samsung drivers installed. When I plug the phone in Download mode, the PC recognizes it as Generic device.
- I manage to flash the CWM but when it restarts it does not go any further than the first splash screen, but in Odin, some time later it turns to pass. Funny, when the phone is on Galasy S3 black splash screen, the pc recognizes the phone and starts to install the driver.
So, here is an interesting flashing story of mine. I really would appreciate your valuable comments and suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] my phone is stuck in a boot loop

Hi, i use a Mifone Mi-A300 that runs android froyo. I recently installed chainfire 3d and its cf3d drivers but after rebooting the app wouldn't open and it prevented me from playing mobile games. i uninstalled it but its cf3d drivers still remained in the system. I decided to take a risk and removed the drivers myself but the phone is now stuck in a boot loop. without a backup (because it wasnt supported by clockwork mod recovery and TWRP).
how do i fix this?
AW: [Q] my phone is stuck in a boot loop
Try connecting it to Odin and reflashing your Rom or your recovery.
That always worked for me
my phone is stuck in boot loop
thanks, but i tried looking for the rom that my device uses but i couldn't find it. apparently my phone uses a custom rom, but the only difference between the custom rom and the normal android froyo os is the system taskbar which adds another button for mobile data. where can i get a rom that fits my device description?

Stuck On Oneplus One Logo While Trying To Boot Recovery

Stuck on Oneplus One logo while trying to access recovery
Hi,
First of all please forgive my english, it's not my native language
So, when i try to access recovery mode on my oneplus one, it gets stuck on oneplus logo
I rooted my phone some weeks ago and installed without troubles paranoid android. I wanted to go back
to CyanogenMod so I flashed it, but I forgot to flash gapps. Cyanogen is working fine, but it's kinda useless
without google package.
Problem is, I cannot access the recovery mode anymore, because it gets stuck on the oneplus logo. I tried
to unlock the phone and install twrp again but it has no notable effect. I also waited an hour, it won't pass
the logo.
I can boot on cyanogen and on fastboot, but recovery is what i need...
The cyanogen version a flashed is cm-13.0-20160107-NIGHTLY-bacon nightly. I performed a regular wipe
with twrp and flashed.
Thanks for reading, any help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT : I noticed odd things. The musics I've put before wiping and flashing cyanogen are still on my phone,
which means the wipe did not work ( right ? ). Also, I can't access anymore to the files of my phone while being
on Media Transfer Protocol, but I can see my images if I set Pictures transfer protocol ( USB configuration in developer
settings ).
Hard reset

Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 is not booting to android or recovery

Hello, i have encountered a problem with my rooted SGS4 i9505 (I'm new to xda and don't really know if this question is supposed to be placed in here so forgive me for that)
I have been using this phone with a nightly build of cm13 6.0.1 and there were absolutely no problems and it was great but today i wanted to update to another nightly build so i downloaded it and in the developer's option i checked that the phone would also get a custom recovery that, comes with the rom i think, installed and it rebooted to update the rom. Then the screen just went black , i waited a minute but it still didn't boot so pressed down the power button in hope to boot up in android again but instead it started booting into recovery but after the blue text in the left-top corner appeared the screen went black again. If i plug the phone in to charge it starts vibrating with intervals of about 3-5 seconds and never boots, no logo or even text is displayed, the screen is just black.
So i can't boot into android nor the recovery, only in download mode, and odin also doesn't recognise the phone
If someone could help that would be very much appreciated, thank you.
(I'm not a native english speaker, so please forgive me if there are any mistakes)
If you can get into Download Mode, then it's a matter of making sure the correct drivers load for Odin to see it. Check your Device Manager on your PC. Even if the PC has connected with it before and loaded the correct drivers, sometimes you have to manually point it in the right direction again. Messing up the recovery should not affect the Download Mode. Once you get the computer to recognize it again, then I would use Odin to reload TWRP recovery and you should be able to boot into recovery and do what you need to do. If recovery is still messed up, then you might need to reinstall the original firmware and start over.

Didn't think someone would reply this fast heh. But anyways, I totally forgot about drivers! I thought i had them still installed but i recently did a fresh install of Windows 7, thank you very much, everything works now.
Awesome! Glad all is well.
