I have flashed a CWM Recovery via odin because my Galaxy S3 was in a boot-loop and I couldn't acces the recovery. After I flashed the recovery (recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.3.2-GTI9300.tar) I flashed the ROM via recovery( Slim-i9300-4.3.build.2.2-OFFICIAL-) After the ROM starts for some weird reason my touchscreen doesnt work. The lock button etc works fine and so do the soft-touch buttons. Also when I press the homebutton a few times it re-boots automaticall

Hello,
I've been having a nightmare with my Galaxy S2 GT-I9100. The phone had been giving me grief for a few months, the occasional freeze which would be fixed by a battery pull, ever since upgrading to an official ICS rom. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact ROM.
A week ago the phone froze, I pulled the battery and hit a bootloop when I tried to restart. I booted into recovery mode and attempted to wipe data. The phone attempted to wipe the data but froze. I left it for a couple of hours with no progress so I pulled the battery. The phone is now still in the same bootloop but cannot enter recovery mode. It can however enter download mode through both the 3 button technique and using a USB jig. My PC only recognises the phone in download mode and fortunately ODIN also recognises the phone. I have tried flashing various stock firmware and kernels and each time ODIN claims the flash was successful, reboots the phone and hits the same bootloop as before. I have also tried flashing CWM recovery to try and boot into that recovery mode but again this is successful but seems to make no difference.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks for your time.

Hmm ... for bootloop issues, this is the correct guide => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499
But this requires recovery mode to work.
And you really pressed Volume UP + Home + Power keys, and hold them for about 15 seconds/until recovery menu appears - regardless of any other boot logo or animation which might be displayed inbetween?!

Definitely. Booting with Volume UP + Home + Power keys, I am greeted with my usual bootloop Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 boot screen, after around 10 seconds the screen goes black and then the bootloop screen comes back on.
Any other suggestions?
Same problem
Hi,
I have the same problem. I would be interested in a solution for this as well. I've already tried reflashing the ROM, kernel and bootloader, together with repartitioning. Still can't get into recovery mode.
Cheers,

Hi,
What I finally managed to do is connect to ADB and do a wipe from there. Connecting to ADB in download mode sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, depends on how lucky you are. Try it a couple of times. Afterwards I was able to re-flash and it started. For me, the problem was also a bit deeper; my USB port was shortcircuiting or something. I just took a toothpick and pushed the USB pin a bit (found the idea online) and haven't had any problems since then.
Cheers,

Hi everyone, I have this weird problem with my S6500, or rather my younger brother has.
He tried to put on his S6500 (not D, this phone is with NFC) Cyanogenmod 10.1, after some ups and downs, he finally got it to work, but... camera wasn't working, it was said on the cyanogenmod page to flash with the newest update, he did that, phone worked good... almost, after he was blocking his screen, he couldn't unlock it, because there was some kind of white screen stuff, weirder was the thing, that he could hear all the *clicking* sounds as he was trying to unlock. He had to restart the phone every time after he blocked the screen, so he wanted the phone to function normally and tried to put his stock ROM back again. Well the flashing went well (as Odin showed) but the phone stucked in bootloop.
The phone showed the Orange logo (he is using his original stock rom from Orange Poland, downloaded from sammymobile) and then it quickly changed to Samsung logo, after that the phone vibrates once, and after that it vibrates 3 times really fast and restarts from the Orange logo.
He tried to get into Recovery mode, but coul;dn't (the phone doesn't react to any of the combinations we found - vol+,vol-, home and power and many others), and as I forgot to mention before, after every flash (while the recovery was working) he cleared data in menu of the recovery.
We also tried the different method to boot the phone into recovery mode (put it in Download mode, which works and then instead of going further by pressing vol+ we pressed the down button and held vol+,vol- and home button, but instead of going into recovery the phone booted in weird screen with small letters RAMDUMP MODE (ARM9 mode).
We tried several times to flash new recovery with Odin, but it doesnt work, the PIT file also doesn't work, or can someone provide me with the stock s6500 PIT file as I couldn't find one, because I read in the Polish forum, that screen mentioned before only shows up if there is a SuperUser app in the phone, so we need the PIT file to flush it.
So the problem is after flashing it with numerous cwm and original stock roms we couldn't get it to boot or to get into recovery menu, or get it working.
Also the hardware is all ok, as the phone is almost brand-new ( he got it from the Orange few months ago).
So help plz?
I have the very SAME problem with my S6500D. Same as described above.
Anyone has managed to fix this problem ? I have all needed tools.
I have tried EVERY thing literally.
my situation: -
my home button has stopped working. -
i was on neat ROM 7.0 and i flashed boeffla 2.3 ng beta 1-
it caused a boot loop/it just didn't boot up.
and because i don't have a home button i could not boot into recovery.
i have a jtag usb that boots into download mode.
usually when you flash a recovery via odin it auto reboots into recovery.
however this doesnt happen on my end
i have flashed CWM, TWRP, PHILZ and STOCK recovery however none auto reboot into recovery
i have checked a lot of forums regarding this but nothing works.
i flashed two different stock firmwares however they both boot into a boot loop
i also flashed boefflas kernel through odin but still boot loop
my phone vibrates the capacitive button lights up then stays on the Samsung logo
every 2 mins or so it repeats that process again.
i don't know if i have missed anything but please someone help me
as you can see i think i have probably tried everything.
i have checked on other threads and forums that a possible fix is to wipe data in recovery mode
however i do not have a home button so i cant use the button combination to access it
(Please excuse my poor English)
I have a Galaxy S3 i9300. OS is Android 4.3, rooted, and old version CWM recovery installed.
I can't remember exact OS and CWM recovery versions, because I had installed them years ago.
Today, I had decided to upgrade my old CWM recovery. I installed ROM Manager apps from
Google Play Store. (I installed and used the Rom Manager app for the first time)
I ran the Rom Manager app and upgraded CWM recovery as the app instructed. No errors were
reported. Then I chose "Reboot into Recovery".
Then the big trouble happend.
1. Normal "Samsung GALAXY S III GT-I9300" boot message appeared
2. Small Hat image and "ClockworkMode Recovery v6.0.4.6" message appeared
3. Screen blacked out.
4. Repeat 1~3 infinitely.
When I tried to connect via USB, my Windows7 PC could not recognize the i9300 at all.
I cannot use the i9300 as phone, too. I cannot do anything at all.
How can I fix this big trouble?
I have the same problem with TWRP recovery, keeps rebooting over and over again, sometimes the recovery menu appearing and reboots after some seconds automatically, please help
I had the same problem with my i9300 with CWM recovery it kept booting back to recovery no mather what i did i can recoment 2 things
1.flash new recovery with odin(did not try this but xould help
2. Flash original samsung firmware also with odin (this helped me)
My advice i olny flash recovery with odin roms with recovery
Thank you. I could fix the problem by flashing another kind of recovery app.
1. Enter the odin mode (press volume_down + home + power when power up , http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Odin_mode )
2. Connect i9300 to PC via USB
3. Flash another kind of recovery app using Odin (in my case. CWMs are not work, but TWRPs are good)
I had a korean 4.4 rom on my galaxy s3, it was rooted I tried to go to recovery to try out cm 14.1, I couldnt get in trough key combo so I used application, did everything like many times before and after all installed, the phone rebooted and got stuck at cm loading screen. tried to leave battery out over night and then inserted battery and let phone turned on for a while and nothing worked, still could not get to recovery or download (none of the keys are working) so i load up odin and insert the jig, i get to download mode, try to reflash twrp, nothing i tried cwm and still nothing. I install everything back to stock and i get stuck at samsung logo (sound of the bootup silences halfway trough but led slowly fades and back on aggain )
So to cut it short, everything is working but i cant get the phone to boot and the key combo doesnt work (keys are ok and functioning properly otherwise) is there any way to get to recovery if you cant boot the phone and key combo doesnt work ?
Nope. There is no way to communicate with the device. You'll have to fix the buttons.
Beamed in by telepathy.
How do I do that ? The keys as I said are working, I have tested them before the brick. What could be the reason for the phone not going into download/recovery mode?
