[Q] custom rom half installed now frozen, please help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all, ive downloaded this custom rom (xaiomi rom for samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9505) and ive followed the step by step to install this new rom (yep, im still a noob to this) and now my phone seems to be stuck on the start up. im not sure what i did wrong because i made sure the rom was for my device. i used CWM to install it via ROM manager and now its stuck, i done what it told me to do like do a factory reset (i done that with cwm) and backed up all my data with TIBU but its just stuck, any ideas on what i should do? ive tried the battery pull and tried to boot into cwm recovery but it says in little blue writing *booting* or something like that but then it just returns to start up and freezes :/ thanks in advance

Please help asap!!!
please help me because i dont have a computer and im at my friends house leaving soon and i want to fix this before i go!!!!!

Get a stock rom and flash it via odin.
1) download Odin
2) download your stock rom
3) boot into download mode by holding volume down+power
4) connect the phone to your pc
5) where Odin has the PDA button, click and add your stock rom
5) click start.
If your computer picks up your phone, Odin will say "connected" and show yoyr device.
Hope this helps.

i was thinking the same thing. u cant flash to stock using kies on a custom rom, but u can flash back to stock via odin.
for odin to recognize your phone, please get your phone into download mode where by your screen will only show the word "downloading" in yellow...
Go to download mode (hold down Vol down+power+home) then connect to pc. If that won't work, put off your sim, sd, battery. Connect to pc. Now hold down vol down + power + home for a while. Now put in your battery and again hold down vol down + power + home. That worked for me when i broke my rom It don't have to work for you. You can try this only at your own risk.

if you has RESTORE the Backup in CWM, before reboot, perform full wipe/data. if still bootloop, Shutdown and perform full wipe/data again. I had experience too. Sorry for my English.
If your device not detect on your PC, reinstall SAMSUNG DRIVER and REBOOT.

HELP S2 not turning on

hello,
my phone is acting wierd
it boots till that yellow caution incon then again restarts
i was on rootbox and installed cm7 and not booting to recovary but can boot into download mode
after rebooting this happed
some one please help me
thank you
Are you still on CM7?
Does it still go into recovery? Have you tried clearing data/cache?
How much battery was it on when this happened? If low leave it charging for a bit and then try it on whilst charging.
Try a stock samsung firmware if anything else fails to let it boot.
Hi
what i did is
used rom cleaning script and installed CM7 and gave reboot
phone turns on till that yellow triangle (main screen where samsung S2 comes) and restarts
cant go to recovary mode
from where can i download odin flashables?
should i try flashing with odin is it safe?
please im not in position to buy a phone
Have you tried to go to the stock rom first?
1. Download the stock rom of your phone. 4.0.3
2. Download Odin
3. press the sleep buttom, home buttom and the volume up.
4. wipe the cache and do a factory reset after that turn off your phone. (alternative)
5. Press sleep buttom, home buttom and volume down then you'll get to download mode.
6. put in the usb cabel on your phone and the pc.
7. Then it will connect to the pc and odin.
8. extract the stock rom and have it on your desktop.
9. now on odin press on PDA and select the file.
10.now press start.
Everything should go smooth so after that you can install cf root and if you did a backup you can restore it, unless you had it on the internal storage.
(dont forget to do a nandroid or cwm backup before installing rom into your external storage!
i dont know from where i can get odin flashables
i called my phone and got build info
Android 4.0.3
IML7K.XWLP7
DDLPA
My phone : I9100
Country : India
Thank you
If you skip the recovery part you should be able to restore internal backup
Did you wipe data when you flashed cm7?
Its necessary.

You can download odin flashable's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 and here: http://www.samfirmware.com/ and also here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Try to flash an ROM from India, or if you flash a ROM from a different country or region and you have problems with your network you can try and flash a modem which works specific in India
if you want the stock rom just go to samfirmware.com and download there unfortunately i cant send the link because i need to post 10 posts
Dont forget you need to sign up an account on samfirmware to download firmware
Think u need this one

Phone bricked, help needed!!

Hi guys
I have just flashed Omega v8.1 to my phone and reflashed CWM touch, rebooted into recovery and now my phone won't boot. It turns on and just displays the "Samsung Galaxy S3" screen. I have tried flashing via the Galaxy s 3 toolkit but this requires USB debugging to be enabled. It looks as though it is not enabled as the toolkit does not recognise my phone.. The only thing I can do is boot it into download mode.
Any clues??
Thanks
If you can go on download mode, then flash stock firmware via odin.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Firstly your phone is fine, it can be easily fixed one way or another.
Can you still boot into recovery?
If not, reflash recovery using ODIN via Download mode
Once you have access to the recovery, try wiping the following:
Data/Factory reset
Cache
Dalvik Cache
Format /system (probably not required but just in case)
And then reflash the omega ROM, making sure it is not corrupt; maybe redownload/check MD5 sum to be sure.
If, for whatever reason you are still having problems with the phone not booting into Android, I would try flashing a different ROM for the time being.
Also, you posted this in the wrong section
Just flash the stock rom?
Yep bricked phone isn't really a problem, unless it's hardware related.

Ive tried flashing stock ROM via ODIN through the toolkit but this requires USB debugging mode. The issue is not with Omega as I was able to use my phone after flashing, I think the CWM flash didnt work properly.
How else can I flash via ODIN, the toolkit is the only way I know.
Thanks for the comments guys...

I d say, simply get odin separately, then re-create the same settings as when the toolkit does it.
It really is very simple once you ve done it once or twice Don t panic and take the time to make sure the right boxes are checked and double-triple check then reboot in Download mode, plug it in then gogo !

If I select flash via odin in the toolkit (option 8), it says make sure that USB debugging is enabled... If i try and continue it just waits for usb debugging and does not flash.

Ok, sry, then the toolkit reboots your device first to download mode via adb, take the already given advice to use Odin itself, just download it put the Rom tar (or tar.md5) into pda, make sure that only auto reboot and reset time is checked, reboot to download mode continue by pressing up, plugin the cable and press the start button at Odin.
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2
Forget running the toolkit, forget USB debugging mode. You do not need it for now.
And there is no need to download or setup ODIN or anything like that.
Just go to folder/directory where you installed the toolkit (usually C:\Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit) and look for the file called 'Odin3_v3.07' or 'Odin3_v3.04' or whatever version you find. Then run it; tada, ODIN is running now!
Now, put your phone in download mode. To do this, hold VOL DOWN and HOME and POWER buttons together and let go when you see the 'Samsung Galaxy S III' logo come up.
Then it will load up a screen that says press VOL UP to continue (and enter download mode). Press it.
Now it should say 'Downloading do not turn off target!'
Connect your USB Cable and proceed to flash a new CWM recovery using ODIN
Then once you have flashed a new recovery, boot into it (VOL UP & HOME & POWER buttons together).
Then follow my instructions from my previous post.

S3 cannot boot into recovery mode

Hi All
First of I would like to thank you all for having me on your forum.
Second, I live in South Africa, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and my service provider is Vodacom.
I am trying to root my device.
I did manage to get into the "Downloading" Mode and using Odin I managed to install the "clockworkmod"
The next step is to boot into recovery mode (Press and hold Volume Up, Home Button & Power Button) but my S3 does not want to go into recovery mode. When I follow the steps it freezes on The Galaxy Logo.
I really want to root my device to use ALL of the awesome stuff you guys develop.
Thank You in advance.
Only hold vol up + home + power until you see the white galaxy s3 writing then release
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Hi
Thank You for the Reply.
I did only hold it down until the logo pops up and then I released.
It still freezes. I have tried holding it in for longer.
I have checked the net and came across different methods and that did not work.
Could it be that Vodacom changed how it goes into recovery mode?
I would say flash an open fw through Odin. *2767*3855# to clean phone from obsolete data. Make sure to backup what you need. Flash CF through Odin.
Boot to recovery through cwm app.

[Q] This idiot installed CM 10.1 over 10.2. Help?

Hello everyone,
I am a complete and utter idiot, and accidentally installed cyanogenmod 10.1 over a fresh install of 10.2 without gapps on my verizon sgs 3. Now my phone is stuck in bootloop and when I try to enter recovery mode the original samsung logo flashes and then nothing. I am at a complete loss for how i can go about trying to salvage this hardware; I can't get it to talk to my pc using adb either. Any help on initial steps would be very very greatly appreciated.
flashing stock rom with odin via download mode should do the trick.
When I enter into ODIN download mode (by pressing down vol + home + power) its gives me a message saying downloading, please do not turn off target. Do I just need to leave it in this mode and let it do it's thing? It seems dubious that ODIN could download something without fully booting the phone. Am I going to need to download an image of the stock rom to flash? Thanks so much for your reply!!
No you need to download the stock rom to your pc and use the odin pc app to flash it. At this point you can turn off your phone.

1. You can either boot into recovery, flash CM 10.2 and gapps again, and wipe everything when you're done, or...
2. Fire up Odin (PC) and flash the stock ROM and start from scratch.

See that's just it; I can no longer boot into anything but download mode. I'm currently downloading the default kernel, OS image and the ODIN desktop application. I'm not sure I'll be able to get it to flash; we will see
Add it as PDA, not phone. Also make sure repartition is NOT checked.
