Hi guys,
I was re-rooting my N9 using CF Auto Root after updating to 21R. Everything seemed to progress as expected but now I seem to be stuck at a screen with the dead android "no command" icon. Can anyone help me to understand what might have gone wrong and what I need to do to get back up and running?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Edit: I've tried every combination of key presses that I know and I can't seem to get it to boot back into recovery mode. It reboots but goes right back to the dead android....
What happens at the dead Android guy when you press power and volume up ? Anything at all?

Thanks for your help Dcaplinger!
I'm not really sure what happened but I was finally able to get back into recovery mode by holding the up volume button for several seconds and then pressing the power button and holding both until the recovery popped up.
Sorry for the false alarm!

Hi,
I tried to put my hero in recovery mode. So I turned off the phone, then pressed menu key and power button, then I released power button and kept holding menu button. Icon with exclamation mark inside triangular and a phone appeared and I can't do anything. I can't turn it off or anything. What is going on? Please help.
Just take the battery off the hero and insert it again.
man dude, turn off the crank. your phone won't do anything without power, so just pull the batt...
btw, where did you read menu+power? never heard of that. recovery is home+power.

I think menu+power is fastboot
Thanks for your replies.
My mistake, it was not power+menu, but power+home. Why I don't have recovery mode and I get screen with icon instead?
I just got the SGH i757m and i tried rooting with using superoneclick v2.3.3 but it always goes to not responding! So I'm trying another method from
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707126" using Odin
however, my phone won't go into download mode, when i press power and volume down button, it just vibrates in a 1 second interval, and it just keeps vibrating... i tried holding on to it for a full minute and all it did was vibrate... i tried pulling battery out and retry, same thing! (or power+ volume up). When i let go, it just turns my phone on, thats it. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I looked into this for you, you're doing everything correct holding volume - and power, should boot download mode, try holding lower on the volume rocker or try booting download mode having it already connected to you computer via USB....... If it won't work the only thing I can think or would be you have a different version of Android then what the original instructions were for. The thread you linked is your best bet on getting help, the last post was on March 28th so it's still active!!! If you don't get a response in that thread try to message titanic_fanatic it looks like he's helping people in that thread. Just make sure you understand everything before doing ANYTHING......... GL sorry I couldn't be more help
EDIT: Try this first, power off your phone, then hold power and vol- once you feel the vibrate let go of power keep holding vol- to see if it boots download mode? If not try to plug it in to your computer then repeat those steps. If you need help you can message me.

No problem, just be VERY CAREFUL when you flash any firmware (ROM), recovery or kernel to your phone. If you flash anything else other then the exact packages made for your phone you could end up bricking it....... With out a forum for your device it could be hard to get help if you need it. You can message me if you have questions, I'll do my best to help you. If you post questions in this forum all you'll get is "Wrong forum, don't you know how to read, noob, blah blah blah etc" just ignore them, just make sure you read and understand everything before doing ANYTHING....... GL
A collegue thought it would be interesting to see what the wipe data command on Exchange would do to my phone.
It appears to have bricked it.
The phone boots, shows the THL logo for a few seconds then shows a dark grey screen.
Is this phone recoverable.
I am a complete noob, first post, so if it is recoverable I'm going to need real step by step basic instructions.
Hope there is somebody who can help.
Thanks.

I got this result too...only grey screen after ThL logo. Can't get into neither recovery mode nor dowlnload mode. Please help
It happened to me too, exactly the same steps and now it is the same thing: logo and after that a black screen. Please, any solution? My wife is gonna kill me (it is her phone):silly:
A hard reset could save your life..
Press and hold the volume (-) button and then press the power button for about 3 seconds, release the volume (-) button when the screen comes and wait for repair menu. It's written in Chinese. Go to the part which is writing MMC at the end with the volume (-) button and press the power button. You are now in the hard reset menu, press the power button again and wait until the phone opens. That's all. You will lose all your programs which you installed before if you didn't back up before but the phone will work. I saved my W200S yesterday with same solution.
Thanks for your advice. I noticed the Chinese menu but I avoided it every time being afraid of not ruining something . Anyway, these days I've found out how to flash new ROMs so I am fooling around with trying different ROMs, I got allowance from my wife for this ). I am trying to fix an issue of the stock ROM, the proximity sensor doesn't light up the display when taking away from ear. The phone was not rooted so any attempt to enter engineering mode failed. Yesterday I discovered a MIUI ROM which looks very stylish and it solved the proximity sensor and even added the notification LED option (this was not included in the stock ROM). Now I have to test the battery life.

THLW200S - Cyanogenmod 11
Hi, I solved all the issues of my THLW200S (lack of notification LED and improperly functioning of the proximity sensor) by flashing this ROM. I tried a few other ROM's but this one works flawlessly.

Tried power +down from cold boot and it loads boot loader menu but fails to load fast boot so still can't reload recover app like trmp anyone got any other ideas. Thanks for any help.
Hi there,
a friend of mine gave me her completely original and stock Galaxy S 3 Neo that got stuck in a bootloop while she was using it.
If you power up the phone, it shows the Samsung Galaxy logo, then proceeds to load the animated logo with the music, but as soon as the first second of music is played, the phone bootloops.
If I try to boot in recovery mode (Home+Power+Volume UP), it bootloops.
If I try to enter Odin mode (Home+Power+Volume DOWN), it bootloops.
Could anyone please explain to me the steps I have to do in order to recover this phone? It is absolutely ESSENTIAL not to delete the internal storage data, because she keeps there many photos of his son (with no backup... how clever)...
Thanks a lot!
Do you see the download or recovery screen before it bootloops?

Yes. It reboots after just a few seconds I see recovery or dowload mode, bu it actually loads them before rebooting. The phone is even recognized by Odin just before it reboots.
Are you sure the battery is okay and fully charged? It's possible that the power button is stuck.

I don't know if the battery is ok... I tried to remove the battery plug the phone but it won't start without. I don't have another battery to try...
It may be the power button whereby the button is stuck in the "pressed" position.

The power button clicks ok so it doesn't look like it is stuck... I'll look more into it
Edit: WTF I can access download mode just by pressing Home and Volume down, so it seems the power button IS stuck even if it clicks normally...
Although it clicks, it may be stuck in the pressed position.
If you have a multimeter, you could test the power button contacts.
I found this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rOCa-hQQ2Ko
Damn, it really was stuck! I hit the side of the phone a bunch of time with a pen and the button got un-stuck! Thanks for the help!

The Nexus 5 is famous for its failing power button.
