Hello,
I have Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (9192) rooted with Kingo. I tried to entered Recovery Mode (Power+VolumeUp+Home), a black screen with Kingo watermark appeared and then phone stuck at a brown screen. Now, If I am trying to enter download mode, Odin doesn't recognise my device (however, usb other functionalities are quite okay, can copy paste, view data on phone). I unrooted the phone but still can not go into recovery mode, neither doest odin recognise phone. I also tried reseting phone from settings, it didn't work. How can I get back stock recovery?
Thanks in advance. Apologies for poor terminology.

Okay, so I had installed the latest MIUI rom, after rooting my phone, but then got stuck in a boot loop so I decided to flash back to stock rom, during this Odin crashed and now my phone is stuck with this icon which I'm sure you guys know about. The problem I have is I had turned off debugging mode on my phone earlier on after I rooted, so now I can't exactly flash it back to stock rom or anything with Odin, the Recovery mode doesn't work anymore, everything just brings up the phone..!..PC symbol. I can however go into download mode. Just not sure what I can do with it with debugging turned off.
What do I do?

When you connect the phone to your pc, does odin show that it is connected? i.e. a block turns yellow?
It detects the phone properly, it gives an error though when it reaches the writing stage, and hits a Red Failed icon in the first bar.
I am no expert but wouldn’t a USB jig Help get into download mode?
As I mentioned I can already get into download mode, but I don't know what to do from there, seeing as I had debugging mode off before my phone started this whole mess.
Oh sorry, I misunderstood.
I cannot help you mate, because I am relatively new to all of this, but I am sure that someone will be able to help you out. From what I have read as long as the phone shows signs of life (in your case the "phone ! pc" symbol) it can be recovered.
Keep your hopes up, all the best to you!

Nothing to do with flashing .
Your choices are
Remove battery replace boot phone to download mode install stock rom.
Or enter recovery mode and factory reset .
USB jig is supposedly not working for download mode on SGS2 if three button will not enter download mode .
Or remove custom rom and root and zero rom counter return phone under warranty .
Or return under warranty and take your chance .

I attempted to root my verizon sgh-i905. It partially succeeded however I don't have wifi. So, I tried to go into recovery to reapply the files. The two icons came up but when I tried to go into recovery, a blank page appeared and that was it. It is partially rooted because I also tried it with rom manager with the same results. Anyone got any ideas on how to overcome this problem? Actually, now after trying to update it with rom manager it won't boot up at all. The usb debugging has been unchecked as per instructions after odin. It will still go into downloading mode but odin doesn't see it because usb is unchecked. The only thing that comes up now is Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 then screen goes blank.
Even though I couldn't get into usb debugging, I did get odin to reapply the tar so it would boot up. Rom manager still won't flash recovery and in download/ recovery the tab won't enter recovery. Is there a way to restore recovery?
Hello everyone
I need the help of some professionals around here
I just made a mistake while trying to root my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7500) with Stock ICS (4.04) on it. I did the following:
I followed this a Tutorial to root the tablet with Odin.
1) I booted the tablet into download mode
2) Then I used odin to update the bootloader
3) Instead of clicking the "PDA" button in Odin I clicked the "Bootloader" button and started the flash process - which was the mistake
3) After this the tablet restartet
The problem is now the following. I cannot boot into the download mode anymore (the normal system still boots fine). When I press volume up + power the selection screen appears. When I then choose download mode, the screen turns black and the tablet restarts. I seem to have destroyed the bootloader.
So all methods to root the tablet with ODIN for flashing a new bootloader fail because I cannot get into download mode anymore.
So I tried the root method by copying the Rooting-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-10.1.zip to the root directory. Then I went to the stock recovery mode and choose the option "update from external sd card" to install the root. Unfortunately I get the following message: "E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]". I cannot find any way to choose a file. I read the the mount point in ICS to /sdcard is set during the boot process so its not available in the stock recovery mode.
So I am kind of stuck now because I cannot use Odin and also cannot use the stock recovery mode to do anything.
I also tried the following:
Reset to factory defaults - Didnt helpt still cannot get into download mode
Install Mobile Odin to flash a stock bootloader - did not work because there is no root
Does anyone of you have an idea? I am really stuck at the moment and would appreciate any help.
Try the emergency firmware recovery or re initialization tools in Kies and see how you get on. Never used them myself though so don't know how they're supposed to work. (May just try to invoke download mode?! I dunno!)
Sent from my GT-I9300
Sv: [Q] Bootloader destroyed - download mode stopped working
I would try a comple, and I mean a COMPLETE drain of the battery. It'll take a week but maybe that's your best option

If you've got Clockwork Mod recovery installed, you should be able to install superuser to give you root permission.
Or are you still running stock recovery?
I am new to rooting, today i tried my first root through Odin on my galaxy s2 I9100. I believe I downloaded the correct kernel after I checked it under 'about' on my phone etc, and I downloaded and installed the samsung drivers, as well as kies, however when I connected my phone to Odin after entering download mode, the 'ID:COM' was not yellow as it should be - (without knowing this was wrong) i continued with the root anyway and it eventually finished on 'reset'. Without really knowing what to do I disconnected my phone and tried resetting it, after which Odin displayed 'pass' however now when I try to reboot my phone it just displays the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark and will not boot at all. I can still enter download mode but simply cannot boot my phone.
If anyone knows where I have gone wrong and what I need to do to root my phone properly that would be of great help, if not please could someone suggest how I can completely restore the phone back to its previous settings (as it is not my phone!!!) I am not fussed about the root count or if it still displays the yellow triangle, i just want it to fully boot or even better be rooted.
What kernel did you use?
Do not worry. I have encounter same problem. what I have done is download original update from sammobile and by using odin 1.85 i have install it. so try it.
Hi, today I tried to downgrade my Galaxy S3 from Cyanogen 12 to stock firmware (So from Lollipop to Jellybean) but now it's stuck on the bootsceen and I can't access the recovery mode, I can just access download mode.
Hi Hencick - Welcome to XDA.
I'll just naturally assume that you're familiar with flashing roms...
Were you running a custom kernel with CM?
Can you access adb functions with a pc?
I have a similar problem on my phone I discovered today. I just get the Samsung logo on screen, it goes off, then comes back (bootloader loop i guess).
It was just sitting on charge. It hasn't done anything for a while other than updates, now when I come to it, it's like this.
I can't get into recovery mode, adb mode, download mode or anything. Just the Samsung logo flashing up, then going and coming back up.
Is this recoverable?
As it it keeps powering up, then off, then back up I'm not even sure I can use Odin on it.
TIA.
Edit: Ok, I can get it into download mode it seems. Only, now I'm not sure what to do! lol
