Hello I found a Sprint galaxy s4 Model SPH-L720 and I waited a 2 weeks to see if the owner would call to retrieve his/her phone . So its been a 2 weeks and the person didnt so i think its ok to use it with a clear conscious. The thing is when the owners sim card was in the phone it was working fine but after a while the sim card stopped working I imagined the owner canceled the sim card. The issue I am having now is when I put my t-mobile sim card in the phone or turn on the phone without a sim it goes straight into recovery mode .. It also refuses to go into download mode . I tried the method of holding down on the power button for 5 minutes and then turn it on again and surprisingly the phone boots up normally but you can still see the recovery mode screen in the background even though the phone is on the home screen.. I dont know what to do .... I put a old Verizon sim card in it and it does boot instead of going into recovery mode but still you can see the recovery mode in the background of the home screen. Any help will be welcomed!!

Okay, now I installed the APP ONLY, and it told me to restart, access download mode, blah blah.
But what I'm stuck at is getting the phone to enter download mode to apply the sdcard update to finish rooting the phone.
I cannot access download mode at all.
I've sat here like a retard trying every single button combination I could find on the internet.
And the ones that usually do work (i.e: holding down power and both volume buttons, and it just flashes at the "Vibrant" logo. but to my knowledge, it's just restarting itself.) And I tried to do the same thing with the phone plugged into my computer. And it just gets stuck constantly restarting at the battery charging screen.
I've taken my battery out, SD Card and Sim Card, and tried it which again makes no sense because there is no power going to the phone, and you can't apply the sd card update if there is no SD Card.
And I think I have come to the point where I need help.
I just bought the phone like 2 weeks ago. Literally, straight from the store.
So I need to know, how do I access Download Mode?
I have tried using a Terminal Emulator, and that too has not worked.
I am a little confused:
what is OCLG? Sounds like you are wanting the clockwork recovery mod app?
Also installing an update.zip is done through recovery mode not download mode. Can you expand on what you are trying to install/flash?
There have been many threads in general and dev which discuss the newer vibrants and difficulties entering either recovery or download.
It was for the One Click Lag Fix, but I figured it out.
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.

Hello XDA!
My phone is an Alcatel One Touch pop D5 5038A. I rooted this phone 3 weeks ago and the only thing I did was partition my SD card. No customs roms etc etc. Everything was going well until one time my phone died and I had to charge it. I tried turning it on but it was stuck on bootloop. I entered recovery mode and selected "reboot." That seemed to fix the problem but then after a few days, it happened again and this time I can't enter recovery mode. I kept on holding the power button+volume up button but the Alcatel logo just kept on flashing. What I did instead was reinsert the battery a few times with a few attempts to turn the phone on. This fixed the problem but just yesterday, my phone died by itself again. I've reinserted my battery a lot of times already but it still wouldn't work. I'm new to rooting and I ain't so sure if my phone is bricked. Recovery mode still wouldn't work at all. Thanks!
Ps. No system updates were installed on this device.
