hi guys.
i screwed up big time.
my wife accidentally deleted all her photos and videos from her phone. after some poking around, she managed to recover her photos, but not her videos. so, being a smart ass, i took her phone and surfed around the web for a solution.
i came across recovery-android app. (cant post the link yet)
it said that it can recover accidentally deleted videos so i gave it a shot.
followed the instructions (wrongly apparently).
now the phone is stuck in a black screen with a green android in the middle, and it says recovering below it. right at the bottom of the screen, it says that "Your device will be in the recovery mode all through the recovery process".
i tried holding vol down + power + home. all it does is bring me to the black s6 loading screen, and it says recovery is not seandroid enforcing above, and goes back to the screen i mentioned above.
to make things worse, after she managed to save her photos, she has yet to back them up to her pc
PLEASE HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Unfortunately it's impossible to recover the photos
You could get your phone to normal mode(factory mode)fresh

Hello all.
Today, I tried to root my TELUS Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate by using Odin and CWM3-Voodoo-blue.tar.md5. I received a "FAIL!" message, so I pressed Start again, which yielded nothing. So, I removed the USB cord from the phone and tried to boot it up. Nothing happened. I tried to use cwm-recovery-ALL.tar, but, again, I received a "FAIL!" message, and ended up with nothing.
It seems, at the moment, the phone can boot up in download mode (Vol Up + Vol Down + Power). However, the screen appears filled with randomly coloured pixels, and nothing else works on the phone. Is there a way to recover my phone from this state?
I'm going to sleep right now, so I won't be able to reply right away, but I'll check replies as soon as possible.
EDIT: Now, it seems as if the screen isn't booting up at all. However, I can still see the download screen with Vol Up+Vol Down. I don't think the phone was rooted at all, so I'm thinking of sending it back to Samsung so they can fix it. Is there a way to check if a phone is fully rooted or not?
Hello, and thanks for viewing my post.
To cut a long story short and make it easy for you to read and reply, ill sum up my problem.
-Unofficial Chinese tablet
-Rooted, No custom kernels / anything else and no clockwork etc. .
- Tried to install drivers for a tweaking app, tablet shut off as soon as i clicked install.
- Tablet stuck on its boot logo.
-Holding down buttons lead to a dead android with an exclamation mark on top.
-Somehow got my self to recovery options by holding power + clicking the volume down once while the dead android is showing.
-Factory resetted
- Still stuck on logo
- Can't go into download mode = Dead android with exc. mark / Home button non existant.
-Terribly Frustrated
Please, i spent 5 hours searching for a solution for this mess, i cannot find the answer anywhere , Do not hesitate to reply if you have any sort of knowledge of this situation.
Thank you alot.
Hey guys im new to this thread and a website said to see if you guys could help me. Well basically I tried to make my music louder on my android and it didnt like that. Now it wont boot or go into recovery and to make things worse, i made it go into charge only mode a long time ago. Since i cant open it or view files since its on charge only mode. I think im screwed. Is there any way i can fix this? Thanks a lot for anything. I tried to hard reset and all of that but it goes into a black screen then just goes back to the LG loading screen. It basically just loops itself everytime i try to enter recovery. It gets stuck on the tracfone page. This is a straight talk phone. Its the LG Access LTE L31L. Ive looked everywhere and havent found anything that works and thought that you guys would hopefully help me. Is it just a paperweight or is it fixable? Thanks!
In the computer the phone isent reconized as anything??
I found one in a car I just bought, has the lock for PIN enabled and cannot enter phone.
Tried all the reset options found on web, nothing brings me to recovery, searched the forums here for this model phone, nothing found.
Tried Volume Down + Power, released Power when LG logo appeared for 3 seconds then pressed and held, it would reboot sometime long sometimes short, but would not enter recovery, tried both volumes up and down, volume down and home button, every combination I could find...
I had a SIM card for a tracfone that was active and wanted to see if this phone would accept it...
Any other tricks available? Computer dings that it sees the phone, but since I cannot get past PIN screen I cannot choose what function USB should be and nothing is seen in Windows Explorer.
Any LG master files to force open the phone through the PC when locked like this or ???
Sorry to hijack or open an older thread, but not much action here for this model phone...
How the problem occurred
So a year or two ago I bought a Jiayu G4A/T/Whatever they're calling it and safely got it here. I've used the stock ROM for a bit but I wanted to get rid of the bloatware that was still on it, so I eventually ended up with a properly rooted phone with a ROM from Jiayu.es (Everything worked, have ClockworkMod as recovery, accessible via Mobileuncle Tools), which was essentially a stock Kitkat rom made to work for the phone. Now I got sick of the ROM and recently saw the new EMUI version on Huawei's P8 Lite, so I figured I'd look around for a tailored ROM running that, and ended up at "jiayu-emui-3-0-stable" from Needrom.
What I did
1. I downloaded a ROM from Needrom with identifier "jiayu-emui-3-0-stable" (I can't post external links)
2. Backed up my important files following a guide from androidcentral titled "[Guide] How to Backup and Restore Apps and Data when installing new ROMs" that I can't link,and did a full backup using CWM
3. Placed the ZIP on my internal SD card, went into recovery, wiped data/cache (not dalvik, since it wasn't described in the instructions, I think this might be a probable cause) and installed the new ROM from ZIP
4. Rebooted the phone and now it's stuck in the boot loop I mentioned.
What the problem is
Bootloops aren't that much of a problem usually, except this one is... I can't get into recovery mode. From there on it'd be cake, since I made the right preparations, but I can't get into it. While connected to my PC it keeps powering on, showing a splash screen from Jiayu.es briefly (which shouldn't be present anymore) and powering off after 10 seconds, only to come back to the splash screen.
What I've tried
I've unplugged it, removed the battery, waited to get a full power cycle and tried to hold my buttons in these combinations: [power button + volume up], [power button + volume down] - but neither work. It just keeps going with the boot loop. I can succesfully power it down, and when I plug it in from there it shows the low battery image. At the moment of seeing that I thought I could connect to it using ADB / Fastboot, but no luck there either. It keeps saying no devices found, and with fastboot it keeps on <waiting for device>.
My questions
What exactly can I do if there is no way for me to get into recovery mode? Are there any alternatives? How can I get my device to be recognized by ADB? Is that even possible? Why is this bootloop any different from others?
Update from the massive Q&A thread:
ZipAddict said:
Is it booting up on its own too after being off? This happened to wifes phone and it turned out the power button was stuck. I took a pencil and hit the power button with the eraser a few times and it worked then. Her case mustve dislogded it. I will keep my fingers crossed for u. If not send me a private message and i will look for an answer tomorrow and get back with u

Thank you for the reply!
Yes, it does. I took the battery out and let it lay disassembled for a night, after which I cleaned it a little and re-inserted the battery. With the case back on, nothing happened, so the power button wasn't stuck for sure. When I powered it back on with the power button (no USB attached) it showed the emblem for ~8 seconds and powered off. It then buzzes to show it's powered on again and up comes the splash screen again. Could it be that the ROM was just a rebooting falsehood? Why would it disallow me getting into recovery mode? I really hope there is something that can still force the device into recovery mode / interact with it somehow while in this state.
Oh, I also tried to see if the volume down button was broken but all the contacts seem intact, plus, they worked an hour before I started switching roms.
Hello and thank you for anyone bothering to read this.
I got a CAT S50 and was experiencing a bit of instability lately.
I've run LTE_S0201121.0_S50_0.023.00 without a hitch for a while, then it decided to crash several applications, from google play to any other app open.
That's when I decided to do a factory reset and see if it would help. Performed the rest without a hitch, but the errors kept coming back. At one point, the screen went black. I knew the phone was on because the backlit was working. I hard-reseted it (hold the power button for 30 seconds or more) and rebooted. The phone froze on the CAT splash logo screen and that's when I hard-reset it again. But when I tried to turn it on, the phone simply refused to work. No vibrate, sounds or anything. It's dead.
When I plug it on the computer's USB, the PC makes a sound as if it detected the device, but when I go to the device manager, I get this QHSUSB_BULK with the yellow exclamation mark
I want to know if it is possible to unbrick this phone and if so, if there is a tutorial or if someone can direct me to the correct procedure. I looked everywhere for the ftf file for this phone to attempt this with flashtool, but I simply can't find it.
ANY help of any form is greatly appreciated.
Sadly I had the same thing happen to me, just a black screen. It decided to delete recovery mode or I just cant get to it.
Power Off the Phone,
While pressing Press Vol Down + Cam Button insert a Powersource -- hold down Vol Down + Cam
Recoverymenu should start
Then flash the original rom via ADB Sideload or SD Card.
btw. i have flashed the LTE_S0201121.0_S50_0.023.00 but i want test older ROMs!
can anyone link or upload an older ROM ?
Guy i have the same issue, can you please help me
