Hello guys, i am new here. i rooted my phone( samsung G900H) successfully about 3 months ago and i have been using it without any problems, but i noticed that anytime i try to boot into recovery mode(power+home+volume up) it gets stuck on the boot screen(samsung powered by android) until battery life runs out or i take out the battery, but download mode(power+home+volume down) works fine, i have no idea what went wrong. any ideas on what went wrong and how to fix it?
Many Thanks in Advance
Either flash a custom recovery like TWRP or reinstall the stock firmware if that doesn't work. Make sure to backup everything you need first.

I have an AT&T Galaxy S3. I rooted it a while ago and have been using CM10 on it.
I wanted to unlock the phone so to get it back to factory I mistakenly restored from a backup I had of the factory phone (I'm guessing this was wrong now).
The restore finished and I rebooted the phone but now it sits at the Samsung Galaxy SIII boot screen. I tried booting back to Clockworkmod Recovery to restore from my newer backup but it just goes back to the splash screen and sits.
I was able to get it into Download mode and seemed to be recognized by Odin. I'm just not sure where to go from there. I would be fine with it being on CM10 or factory again.
Any help would be awesome!

Well after backup go to the official recovery and just wipe cache and data and restart it should work if not download official firmware flash it with odin and if again it gets stuck at samsung bootscreen go again to stock recovery and just wipe everything I think there were two rows starting With the word wipe...other and See if it works...
I have rooted my galaxy note 2 n7100 succesfully using toolkit and flashed it with twrp. But after succesfully rooting and everything else is working fine, when i try to go into recovery mode, the galaxy note II icon blinks 2-3 times and my phone reboots again. Can anyone please help me with this issue. Lots of thanks....
Try re- flashing twrp, or find another source for recovery, or return to stock and try the whole process from scratch.. I like CWM
Hello everyone,
I had CM11 installed on my Samsung galaxy S3 I9300. But I wanted to trade my phone with my dads and he wanted the simple stock rom (Android 4.3). I tried flashing the stock rom on it which went good until the last step when it should reboot itself. But i'm stuck at the samsung logo, I tried everything (pulling out battery, rebooting it, install stock rom again,...).
And I even can't get in recovery mode. The only possible mode in can get in is download mode. What can the problem be? Have I done something wrong? Should I try to install another stock rom from another country? Is there another way to get in recovery mode? I am from Belgium and I can't find the "Belgian stock rom", so I tried installing it from the Netherlands, is that the problem?
Thanks already.
What is the filename of the stock ROM you flashed and which options did you select in Odin?

First thing you should always do after flashing stock rom or any rom that causes a boot loop is to boot into recovery and factory reset then wipe cache this solves 90% of bootloops. Now I know you said you can't get into recovery so try flashing a custom recovery with odin then try booting into that and then factory reset.
Hello!
I have a Samsung XCover 2 (GT-S7710) and I've tried to flash a CM-Rom for quite a while, but without success. At some point my phone stopped to boot a single rom I installed. It automatically starts into CWM Recovery, even with my backup (made with cwm). I thought cwm could be the bad guy and I flashed the Stock Rom with Odin, but same problem here. In Odin everything is fine but again it starts in recovery automatically.
I've read that the bootloader could be the problem and you need to flash it with Odin, but I don't know which one to take, since all treads were about other phones.
Does anyone know which bootloader I have to take or if there is another solution?
Greetings!
ok, I', usually pretty good at rooting and such having my galaxy S4 for many years now but I got this Galaxy Star for work just to use it off wifi and bluetooth but it had 4.1 and i needed it on 4.4 for it to work so I knew i needed to root it, load recovery and find an updated rom.
I Odin'd CWM recovery and all I got was a white screen when going into recovery mode. didnt matter what i tried. I wound up flashing a file that also wiped out my download screen, now all I see it a blueish/white screen for download mode, but I can odin files ok.
I've tried every stock recovery hard reset file i can find online and nothing helps. Any help is appreciated. Is there any samsung stock firmware somehere that wipes everything???
Model: GT-S7262
and I seem to have bricked it now, wont even power up after flashing a phillipine version of the firmware.
well, no more white screen but now I have no display at all. still goes into download mode though.

I came from a Galaxy S4 too
You need to flash FireLord1's CWM 6.0.5.1 on stock ROM, otherwise you will get a whitescreen trying to enter.
I know it works with both Indian and Eaten European firmwares.
ok, so i need a link to a the stock rom and his CWM. I can find indian firmware i think.
Weird thing is, I can hear it boot up, Samsung Kies and Odin see it just fine. Just a black screen for everything now.
got it back working with this firmware..
