Hi all,
I'm new to the forums and I have come here for some help. I was trying to replace CWM on my Samsung Exhilarate (SGH-I577) with TWRP. When I did that it didn't just overwrite the old recovery but rather it added another recovery. Now when I boot up my phone it just goes into what looks like download mode and says there was an issue with a firmware update. I tried flashing the stock image through odin on my computer but again it failed. Any help would be great!
Thanks!

Hey guys, i was running the latest version of Slim Kat rom for my i9100 when it turned off and then was stuck on samsumg boot logo. When i try to access twrp it just says teamwin and wont go any further. It happened once before and so i just flashed a stock rom and then went back to rooting it. However, now when i try to flash any rom (stock/custom), or another recovery with odin it freezes at "nand write start". I have access to download mode which is really the only thing i have working atm
Ive read around and done everything (eg try other usb ports/cables/odin version) but no luck. Is there anything else i could do? I dont wanna do a pit flash cause im scared ill completely screw it up.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Hi
I can't possibly state how foolish I feel right now, but I accidently flashed my Samsung Galaxy S2 I-9100 with a Custom ROM made for the I-9100G version. As a result my phone is now only able to reach the Download mode; not even recovery mode. However on connecting with Odin the test is repeatedly FAILED. I am now left with a stuck phone which when tried to be powered up is always stuck in an incomplete boot cycle. Do we have any suggestions / ways to get this corrected, or do I have to order a new phone!??
Please help...
Thanks!

Have you tried re-partitioning your phone yet with ODIN?

Not yet. I may actually be a perfect example of one who should NOT try rooting..complete newbie in this world!!
In case you have any suggestions how to go about doing that please do share the same.
I took a backup of the stock ROM using Nandroid and had TWRM installed.
Of course, these are of no use until I'm at least able to reach the recovery mode!!
Have a look at my guide here on how to use the pit files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ivatives/mod-increase-partition-size-t3011162
Download the stock pit file
Download the official stock firmware
Flash both in ODIN (tick repartition and make sure you have selected the pit file and the stock rom to flash)
Start the flashing process
Hello everyone, i am new to the forum and i have a problem with my samsung galaxy tab 10.1
Model no: gt-p7500, 3g+wifi, 16 gb.
The problem started some months ago, the tablet will boot up, but get stuck on the samsung logo, i went online and found information regarding how to fix using odin, i downloaded and installed odin and a stock firmware, while playing around in odin, i checked the nand erase option, the process started but failed inbtw, i then tried it again, this time with the nand erase option off, the process completd successfully. But now i am stuck in screen with the following information
#manual mode#
--updating applications.
The tablet keeps rebooting to the above screen. Please help.
I do not have a backup and i am a newbie. Thanks.
You need Odin v1.85. It doesn't have any nand erase option in it.
What tar.md5 file did you use to flash.
I looked around and I found this thread. I hope you can get something out of it. And I hope you can revive your tab.

Hmmm sounds like the tab is trying to boot into stock recovery but errors out before it can complete. Try flashing a custom recovery with Odin. Preferably cwm, when its done reboot to recovery and use adb to push a custom ROM to your internal sdcard---thats assuming it does boot into the custom recovery.

Did you do a full wipe(dalvik, cache, system, data)? If not then please do a full wipe and flash again. Also, in case you're flashing the ROM over can you pull a recovery log and post it here so I can see if anything is going wrong in there?
Use this to get that log after you've flashed the rom
Code:
adb pull tmp/recovery.log

Hi L3RON, i did as you instructed, i did a full wipe, cache wipe, davlik wipe, after that i did another adb sideloading of the custom rom, everything went ok, but it still gets stuck on the samsung galaxy tab screen. Also i got the recovery log that you needed. They are attached. Thanks

OK so it seems that your data partition is either not being mounted or is being mounted in read only mode therefore nothing can be written to that partition. I looked around for a fix for this issue and I found this thread which addresses the said issue for your tab. I really hope this will help get your tab back to a functioning state.
Hey guys,
So I tried to root my S6 Edge and it got stuck on startup, I tried flashing back to the stock ROM, for the SMG-925F, which is the phone I have. Odin fails when flashing the rom. On my phone it says SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: , BINARY: 2.
I would really appreciate help as I just got this phone and it is quite frustrating.
Thanks for all the great work you guys do.
Do you have a custom recovery installed?
If so, upload zipped ROM via USB (MTP or USB host) boot to recovery, flash a 5.0.1 ROM from there, flash supersu afterwards and reboot system.
If no custom recovery , you can still try Samsung KIES software and use emergency recovery,
Hey. I have fixed my issue. I extracted my stock rom to a folder, deleted hidden.img/cm.bin/modem.bin and it let me use it. Can anyone explain why this worked? Thanks

The reason you probalby got stuck in starting screen is because you did not unlock the bootloader from developer setting which will cause it not to boot. But for the second part I don't know why odin does this; it seems like extracting the package let's you install the things that are actually needed.

Help! So I rooted my Galaxy s5 using CF-auto-root and SuperSU and I flashed what I thought was CWM recovery from XDA, I installed mod manager which I then gave access to boot to recovery and now my phone is stuck in a custom recovery bootloop. Only if I remove the battery as it's about to turn off can I access download mode by holding relevant buttons but I am concerned that I have bricked my phone because there seems to be no stock recovery any more. Also mod manager listed TWRP as installed as well as CWM. Any help as to what I can flash through download mode or change files on my computer to help this problem would be appreciated. Extra Details:
Model Number: SM-G900F
Android Version: 6.0.1

flash the stock firmware from sammobile.com/firmwares via odim, it packs the stock recovery also
You will have to flash the full stock firmware and start all over from scratch. Also don't waste your time with CWM. It is outdated and has not been updated in years.

Thanks for that point about CWM - no wonder it's caused problems. If I can't fix the problem I was considering buying a new phone anyway hence me rooting my phone and flashing ROMs but I'll flash the full firmware from Samsung's website.

Think that was given is not Samsung site. It is by someone else and we don't advise it's use.
It won't be hard to fix it but understand it will completely wipe your device.

I did make a copy of all my android files before rooting and took pictures etc off it. Ah, I see. Well even if it's the correct firmware I'd rather at least try that - any working phone is better than one with files stuck in a faulty recovery boot-loop.

Okay so installing the firmware worked AND it DIDN'T wipe my device, I've yet to check whether the device is still rooted - it probably isn't. Any advice as to the best custom recovery out there for my international s5?
Edit: SuperSU says my device is no longer rooted, I guess it's okay to flash CF-Auto-Root again?
Edit: I flashed the auto-root again and it's rooted, I just need to be more careful with an updated custom recovery.
