[Q] Cant come out of recovery

Hi,
I need your help.
I am stuck in recovery mode.
I was in fast boot mode and I flashed recovery file for ICS and installed SU as per instructions.
I thought I have to disconnect the cable to go into recovery to install from SD Card and I did the same.
Now I have to get into fast boot mode to flash the original kernel.sin to get into normal mode.
Please help. I am stuck and I am trying to turn off the phone to get into fast boot.
Hold the power button and vol up for about 10 seconds, You will feel it vibrate...
Thanks a lot!!!
I was able to switch off the phone and was able to get into fast boot mode.
I flashed the kernel and I am able to see my home screen now.:good:
Have a Wonderful day/nite.:laugh:

BUMP!
I'm having a similar problem. I managed to get the phone to fastboot mode, but when I wanted to flash the new firmware, Flashtool is stuck at the popup saying you need to unplug and replug the USB.
By stuck as in, there is no progress in Flashtool after I connected the phone in fastboot mode. Any help?
EDIT: Never mind. I tried to use a different Kernel again, and I managed to solve it. The one I use initially must be for GB.

[Q] Need help boot loop and constatant restarting

So here is a quick overview of a problem.
Had Cyanogen mod installed on the phone and something went wrong for no apparent reason. The phone just got stuck on the infinite loop and the recovery would not load as well. So I flashed the phone to stock firmware and that did not help (Did it with odin and kies) also tried installing clockwork mod but that did not help neither. Phone restarts and get stuck on Samsung loading screen. When I go to download mode phone also restarts after few seconds of me being in download mode(But after few restarts is stops, so that makes DL mode available) . Recovery menu is not available(Displays a broken robot with no errors on the bottom and also restarts after few seconds of me being in recovery menu). If anyone would help me out with this I would really appreciate it.
Restarting in download mode is usually a stuck power button, try giving it a wiggle before you insert the battery.
Flash a full stock rom with odin, then boot straight into recovery and factory reset. Look for any error messages in recovery.

CWM for locked boot loader does not vibrate, keep pressing the volume button every second or so.

TWRP recover boot looping - unable to go into recovery

Hi guys, I flashed cm-13.0-20160820-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0J2-i9300.zip and everything worked fine BUT I did a factory reset from the system itself not from the recovery and since then my phone is stuck between samsung logo and twrp logo which appears only for a second or two and then back at samsung logo....I cant enter download or recovery mode, I cant turn my phone off, every time I put battery in it, it keeps looping. But I have noticed that when i connect it to my PC it just loops in samsung logo not between twrp and samsung. Help me please ASAP :crying::crying:
Do you have a USB jig to force download mode?
I dont have USB jig, is there any other options? My phone can get to that download mode by pressing buttons and it shows only for a second screen of download mode and then it goes back at looping....
Could be a power button problem?
Well I really dont know because I had removed the button before, it didnt work correctly and now I cant know is it up to button or the software ....

Galaxy S6 Edge (T-Mobile) Bricked

What is working so far
Recovery mode
Download mode
Phone boots but its stuck on 2nd boot animation.
My galaxy s6 edge (T-Mobile - SM-G925T) has been bricked. I flashed the stock android M 6.0.1 firmware through Odin and now my phone does not boot past the second boot animation.
The phone also has a blue led indicator on at all times during this brick.
I tried going to stock recovery and factory resetting the phone with no luck and its still stuck on 2nd boot animation.
I have tried to restore the phone with smart switch but it asks for my serial number which I do not have.
The serial number is not on the back of the phone and I doint have the box.
I put the phone in to download mode and hit the home button to show the "bar code" option but it does not display the serial number at all and its just blank.
I put the phone into download mode tried to flash stock firmware and twrp but it just stays on setup connection in odin by powering off the phone, holding vol down, home power, and vol up again to enter download mode.
But before what I did was I typed the adb commands on my computer to reboot the phone into download mode so I could flash files to the phone through odin but I caint send adb commands to the phone due to this brick.
I did try adb side load in the stock recovery and I tried to side load the stock rom as a flashable zip but it does not want to sideload.
Please help me to solve this problem, thank you very much, I will appreciate all the help.

Try again to flash this

If it sticks on setup connection again, try a different usb port.
If after this it still bootloops try again to flash twrp and if this works wipe cache/dalvik.
If it doesn't work and just bootloops tell me of any errors you get during the process.
Thank you for the help! I hit the thanks button. I found out why Odin was stuck on setup connection and that was because I was using a bad USB cable, so I tried another cable. After that odin was not stuck on setup connection. Then I flashed stock firmware on Odin and now the phone works!. Thank you for the help!
