Last night I was trying to install all sorts of stuff onto my GS3 and none of them worked. "Oh well" I thought, so I just did an update to get JB from Verizon... on my rooted phone... with the bootloader Unlocked and cwm flashed. Everything went fine and at the end of installing the update, cwm asked if I wanted to stop the ROM from flashing over the recovery (yes) and that I may have lost root access and if I wanted to fix that (yes). Phone started fine, but when I restarted the phone to make a backup image, it shows the Samsung logo with an unlocked lock with the word "custom" underneath. Then in the top left it says "recovery booting......" and, after a few seconds, the top left changes to "Secure Fail: Kernel" and the yellow triangle appears saying "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help. I have tried Power+Vol Up+Home key, Power+Vol Down+Home key, Power+Vol Down, just Power, and nothing seems to work. Have I just completely ****ed my phone?
TL;DR Can't boot into recovery or download with any key combination, top left message "Secure Fail: Kernel", yellow triangle message "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help."
Hi
So I've had my Samsung SIII for just over 18 months, and it's all worked fine etc. I've never rooted it or anything.
But this morning it will not boot up. When I try to switch it on the start up sequence happens, but it gets stuck on the flashing Samsung splash screen. If I turn it off it just restarts and ends up back on that screen. The only way to stop it is to take the battery out.
I've tried starting it in recovery mode (power+home button+vol up), but the standing, open android just flashes and I end up with the android lay down with the red exclamation mark from there. It then loops between the two androids and the Samsung SIII start up logo screen. I have tried to press the volume buttons whilst on the red exclamation mark screen but cannot get to anywhere from it.
However, it will load the download mode (power+home button+ vol down) just fine.
I have looked all over but most people encountering anything similar have rooted their devices, which I have not.
Also, last week I lost all of my contacts which were stored on the device (I don't know why) but that might have something to do with it.
I don't particularly want to hard reset the phone and lose everything, but if it's the only solution I will do.
Thanks.
In download mode is the product number shown or a blank?
If it shows i9300 then you have a good chance of flashing either a full stock rom or a rescue firmware (see general forum) using odin. You will need to factory reset in recovery afterward, but your data is almost certainly unrecoverable.
If the product number is blank then you have partial SDS and require a new motherboard.

Do has boomboomer said above but as a last resort before flashing back to stock or a rescue firmware if you flash PhilZ recovery in download mode with odin.You then have a Aroma option in PhilZ recovery to browse and copy phone files so you may be able to recover some data pictures etc.
Please read PhilZ thread >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 << and the special features thread about Aroma file manager in post #3
Please note use as a last resort to get your data back! and read everything! Also all this is presuming you can get into PhilZ recovery after flashing..
I'm having the same problem , been looking through lots of topics. When I switch on the phone it's not booting android guy lays on his back. Download mode and Android Recovery are in my range.
I've been trying to flash stock-firmware from sammobile.com with ODIN but no effect , I mean It all went OK in Odin Operation list than fially phone reset and PASS. But this android guy is still laying on his back and making fun of me xD
Before trying to get back to stock ROM, I've had rooted phone and installed RR with 4.4.2 for S3, now I don't have a clue what shall I do next ...
Any ideas ? (the noob[me] have asked )

And my newest version of stock firmware is swimming very nice I hope This will help someone
Hi,
I am using a SGS2 international version.
I had downloaded CM 11 and was fine with it. Then a notification pop-up saying incremental update, which I proceeded downloading. In the middle of upgrading the firmware (the android with the spinning hexagon in the middle), the phone froze, hexagon and the progress bar no longer moved. Then I proceeded to restart the phone by long press the on button. I noticed the phone does not move after the initial load screen with the SGS2 logo and the yellow warning sign. Did not even boot to the cynogenmod blue spinning logo.
I can press the power+home+up/down button and a menu comes out regarding downloading firmware. I have also managed to get into the CWM recovery menu v6.0.4.5 with the black top hat and the orange arrow. Also, if I press the three buttons, the odin mode comes out with the:
product name:
custom binary download: Yes (1 counts)
current binary: custom
It says downloading and do not turn off screen
Not sure what else to do. Battery charging while the phone is off is working. Is this phone bricked? Is there a way to recover it?
Just wipe your system and flash cm11 zip
Hey everyone,
As the title says, I get a black screen after my Galaxy S4 boots up. It boots up like normal, but after the Samsung logo appears, my screen goes black and the only thing that is seen on it are two icons on the top right of the screen. I used Odin to flash the stock Android 5.0.1 firmware. I tried using Kies to restore the firmware, but it gives me a message saying that the initialisating isn't supported by GT-I9505. I've visited at least 10 different forums and they all tell me to flash the stock firmware again, which doesn't work. I should also note that my phone doesn't boot into recovery mode for some reason. It says in the top left corner that it's booting into recovery mode, but then it shuts itself off and on again, and just boots like normal.
Hope someone's got a solution to this..
hey,
so i recently had my s7 edge fixed because of the green and purple stripes problem.
since i got it back i wasn't able to update it and the phone was pretty laggy i tried updating it with smart switch and when it completed the download i got a blue screen telling me "installing system updates" then suddenly a dead android appeared with an exclamation mark and i was booted into recovery mode.
no matter how many times i reset or reboot i get the same triangle and get booted into recovery mode and i can only access recovery mode and odin mode.
my device won't start up at all.
please help!?
ps:
i tried flashing the phone with odin many times with the latest software for my phone version from sammobile and the same thing happened over and over.
