Hello all,
Recently I bought the S8 Plus and I want to sell my S6 Edge, so I wanted to clean it first before actually selling it.
I rooted my phone before, I can't remember how or what software I used, I have a feeling it was Odin,
anyway, I cleaned up my phone by doing a factory reset from within Android's settings.
Since that moment, my phone is stuck in TWRP's Recovery mode.
I have multiple stock roms, but Odin is not able to make a connection with the phone, because I can't get into boot mode.
I've also read things about ADB Sideload, but that freezes up my phone.
Then I read about some command line to type in via the terminal, but that didn't work either.
Also trying to install stuck roms didn't do anything.
Does anyone have an idea how I can get my phone back into bootmode so I can load up Odin and put a stock rom on it?
Any help is greatly appreciated

Boot to Download from TWRP Recovery (Reboot - select - Download)
Fire-up Odin, flash one of your multiple stock roms.

That doesn't work either.
If I select Download, my phones freezes up.
Update:
I managed to update TWRP, making me able to go back to Download mode!
But, once I tried Odin to flash a stock rom, it failed.
Also, my KNOX Warrenty Void is set '1'.
Am I still able to install any roms or get this KNOX fixed?

If you have a PC, use samsung smart switch to re-initialize your device.
And you can not do anything for tripped knox.

Hi I hope someone can help me. I have searched this forum but could not find a similar situation to what I ended up in...
I tried to install a custom ROM on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 using the CWM/Odin.
This seemed succesful but was not, it did not start but was stuck in the Samsung logo.
So I tried entering the CWM and download and install an original Samsung ROM. I can get it into CWM, but CWM cannot enter the download mode only the other mode.
In this mode all options are available:
- reboot
- apply update from SD card
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
All options have been tried without any luck. In the update from SD card it only shows ...
or Error opening /data/media: no such file or directory
Any ideas how I could get this directory back or put a ROM on the Samsung in this situation.
Odin does see the Galaxy but as I cannot get it into Download mode I am unable to download anything to it.
All or any suggestions are very welcome!
1. CWM (Clockworkmod) =! Odin.
In the beginning, you don't have CWM installed. You install CWM, by flashing CWM on your Phone with odin.
Odin is the Windows Programm, that is used to flash Recoveries/ROM's/Kernels onto your device.
2. it seems, that you still have the default Samsung recovery installed, that meand CWM is not yet flashed on your device.
If the flashing process was succesful (I suppose it was done with odin), but you can't get past the Samsung logo, that means, you probably flashed a rom, that isn't made for your device(ex. a GTab 10.1v Rom).
If you DID flash a wrong rom, then you probably ****ed up the partition table and removed the Download Mode(Odin Mode). Strange thing is, that you still have the Stock recovery.
Could you please redirect us to the rom you downloaded?
Also, did you flash with a repartition on and/or a .pit file?
hi Kaukassus,
thanks for the reply.
OK I checked the files and what I did.
I think I totaly screwed this up. It was a theme I tried to install the AOSP_HC_v1.3_3G+KI1.
I rooted the Tab. So first when the Tab was still functioning installed it on the TAB via USB.
Than tried to install this via update from SD card.
This appeared to work initially. But hung at the start.
After that I tried (via Power Volume Up) wipe data/factory reset.
No luck.
After that I tried wipe cache partition followed by wipe data/factory reset.
And this is what I got now..
Bad news is the Tab was/is a X-mas present and I managed to screw it up even before I officially got it !-(
The valuable lesson you're learning is that you need to be aware exactly what things you're flashing and their compatibility with your device and the software it's running.
You haven't mentioned what specific device you're using or the specific things you've tried to flash (as kaukassus pointed out, direct links to threads where you got the files you tried to flash are best). Not sure if you're aware but not all GT 10.1's are equal; there are several models out there and each and every ROM is specific to a particular device. Verizon LTE GT 10.1's like mine can't take ROMs from any other device for example, it's likely that the new T-Mobile 4G one's wont be able to trade ROMs with Verizon ones . . you get the point.
When you say you installed via USB what exactly did you mean? If you simply copied a zip file via USB to the tab to flash in recovery mode that's not installing; the flashing from recovery may be but the file copy operation is not. If on the other hand you pushed things via ADB or you flash using Odin software then that's a different story.
Best thing to do at this point is to properly identify your device, look for a stock recovery image for Odin and flash that via Odin to your device. At that point you can start from scratch again to build what you want.
Thanks Muzzy996.
You are right. I was in a rush and should have taken more time.
However I am getting somewhere. Managed to get in download mode twice today, don't ask me how. This Tab just will not go into download mode!
However I did not have the stock ROM ready to be installed.
Will keep you updated.
i have the same problem. i just rooted my device was going to overclock. decided to save my rom with rom manager. saved it device went to reboot now the samsung galaxy 10.1 shows up screen goes dim then shuts off, and will cont. do this. i can get into download mode but recovery will not work. is there anyway to download my stock rom. im using verizion 4g 10.1 any help would be great, btw sorry to thread jack
Problem solved.
Managed to get it in download mode again and install stock rom via Odin.
Appeared to work fine. But kep switching off, even after full night of charging.
This morning Tab was dead after recharging whole night..
Got it back on by holding volume down and power button down.
i found a stock rom and im trying to upload it via odin, however odin does not find my tab? any ideas. btw congrats on getting ur tab back
I crashed both my I9000 (galaxy s) flashing custom roms and my tab 10.1 (editing some system files) both ended up just looping but managed to get both back. I purchased a small connector of ebay £1.59 that has just a resistor accross pins 4&5 331k I think anyway plugging this into most samsung devices boots them into download mode. Even before getting my resistor I managed to get things working I think that you'd have to be properly unlucky to really brick a samsung I've flashed both my devices with all sorts of crap with my little resistor I just reset them with ease.

did you ever resolve this issue? i am currently faced with the same issue.
I have a Galaxy Note that was on Telus in Canada. I attempted to follow these instructions to install Cyanogenmod: wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_quincyatt. Had alot of problems working with Windoz 8 - but eventually **seemed** to get the CWM installed. However, when I did the reboot to recovery mode, I got 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.' I can't seem to do anything to get past this. I'm pretty much a beginner with modding my phone, so before I do anything else stupid, I'm asking for help. What can I do to either a) get back to my original install or b) try again with Cyanogenmod?
Thanks!

I had the same thing happen to me a couple of weeks ago. Picked the wrong package to flash and got the same error message. I had to boot into download mode and then load the stock ROM via Odin, then root.
That fixed it for me and now I'm flashing custom ROMS again (and carefully reading the name of the ROM I'm flashing before hand lol).
First, to install CWR on a Canadian phone you have to pull the battery from the phone and disconnect the usb cable the instant Odin says flash was successful, otherwise the phone reboots and overwrites the custom recovery with the stock recovery. Then put the battery back in the phone and boot into recovery. Then format, wipe, and flash the rom.
Hello im fairly new to the rooting stuff so bear with me and I hope im posting this in the right place. Iv looked for other post and most have people believe they have soft bricked there phone, I was able to get out of it
I have a Samsung galaxy s4 with Verizon
model # sch-i545,
android version 4.3,
baseband version i545vruemj7,
kernel version 3.4.0 [email protected] #1,
build # jss15j. i545vruemj7
Hope this is enough info for some help. I do have root using the chines root and terminal emulator to get supersu. I also use titanium backup pro. So here is where I have my problem I was wanting to have a recover backup just in case I messed up my phone. I looked up ways to do this and the one I picked was using goomanager.
1. Opened goomanager and opened the menu and clicked install openrecoveryscript
2. Download and installed and it said download complete
3. I rebooted my phone in recovery mode
4. Now it comes up in odin mode in the top left corner, it says in red could not do normal boot under that
product name: sch-i545,
current binary: Samsung official,
system states: custom,
knox kurnal lock:0x0,
knox warranty void: 0x0,
csb-config-lsb:0x30,
wright protection enabled,
eMAC burst mode enabled
5. And I have the big green droid with downloading… do not turn off target!!
6. This is where everyone else believes they soft bricked and are stuck in a bootloop but if you pull the battery and start up in odin and restart from there you get out of it
So I cant use recovery mode at all, is there any thing I can do to fix this or do I not get to use recovery ever again
Like I said I am new to rooting and all the great stuff it offers, I have rooted my old droid x2 and done a full recovery with it, I haven’t flashed a rom yet but I still don’t know all the in’s and out’s
Thank you for all the help
what it sounds like is you phone is going into download mode. when you are trying to enter recovery are you holding volume up or volume down when you boot? because volume down takes you to download mode and volume up take you to your recovery!

I hold the volume up, power and home keys and it goes in to odin mode and goomanager can boot into recovery mode and still goes into odin mode. I think goomanager doesn’t do the team win recovery and messed up the code for recovery
And thank you I double checked that and still odin mode comes up
first problem was using goo manager, your phone base does not support any custom recoveries. The only available option is safestrap after u obtain root

What bugs me is that I can't get Into recovery anymore. *I have used recovery mode to re install some dumb apps by making a back up with Titanium Backup Pro And made a zip of the apps and re installed them through it. I just don't want to brick my phone hard. But please explain what it is and for.
All I wanted to do was be able to do a nandord backup which is what I thought I was trying todo.

You aren't making any sense, so you need to be a lot more specific about what you're doing.
One, you said above that you're on the MJ7 bootloader. That means that you can't have a custom recovery.
So what the heck does "using recovery mode to install some dumb apps by making a back up with Titanium Backup Pro" mean? You don't run Ti from recovery, you run it from a booted and rooted phone.
"All I wanted to do was to be able to make a nandord (sic) backup"
Oh well. You can't install a custom recovery on your phone since the bootloader is locked. This has been stated repeatedly in these forums.
Sadly, the moderators of this forum are refusing to post a sticky to help guide people like you to avoid this common mistake.
The only way you can back up your existing ROM is to root it and install Safestrap. Do a bit of searching around before flashing anything else.

Im sorry im new to asking for help.
Yes I now know there is no custom recovery and found out the hard way and didn’t do enough research.
With Ti pro, in batch actions-All, section Recovery mode you can create “ update.zip” from apps and data backup. I know this is not a true recovery or nandorid, so I made the zip went into recovery mode and reinstalled the apps I deleted. I was just toying around with that
My original intent was to be able to do a nandorid backup
I have looked at the safestrap method and it looks like it will work for my build I just wanted to know since my recovery mode is corrupt or I believe it is will it work
thank you again for any help

This is a Verizon forum, and you have an AT&T phone. You may have better luck in the AT&T forums, especially since this is such an old thread.
What version of safestrap?
When you say "that installed correctly" do you mean safestrap recovery?
How did you try to enter recovery? Normally, you reboot, then press the "Recovery" button from the Safestrap splash screen. If you try the normal boot to recovery, it'll boot stock recovery, not Safestrap.
Hello everyone. I am new here. I have a samsung s4 verizon. It runned on android version 4.4.2. The hotspot was not working so i decide to root it and flash it with a new custom rom. Using odin i tried flashing it and it said failed. And now it can not boot into the recovery mode.It says when I tried to boot into recovery mode it says firmware upgrade encounter an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again. I downloaded and installed kies but it not connecting in kies .
Please i need help asap
Hi all
I hope that I am posting in the correct place
I need help with my Galaxy S3 SGH-T999
Recently the phone died on me, it was stock rom and with the updates through some of the apps, the phone stopped working correctly. I don't use the phone for making calls, etc, but need it for pictures and a few other apps. The phone is from T-mobile.
I tried to reset the phone and that worked until all the updates were back on and then back to the same problem.
So I decided to put on a custom rom on the phone.
I have tried the following roms:
cm-14.1-20161225-NIGHTLY-d2tmo
I9300XXUGNB6_I9300OJVGNB3_I9300XXUGNA8_HOME
RevolutionaryS5-V3
Slim-d2tmo-6.0.1.alpha.0.1-UNOFFICIAL-20160516-1346
I first installed CWM recovery and then transferred the roms over to the external sd car (also the internal card), went to boot manager (vol up) and installed the files.
It looked like the installation worked but when selecting reboot, the phone would not come back on.
I then loaded up Kies and reset the phone back to factory defaults and only then does the phone load back up after reboot.
Every time I try the custom rom - I run into the same problem
At first I thought the phone was bricked and found info about the jtag and then found something about using an SD card with the following image installed on it - tmobile-T999_4.3_debrick
With the SD card in the phone I can boot to either menus and also able to get the phone to boot to the slim-d2tmo rom. But when I pull the SD card, the phone won't boot. Nothing, no power, nada
I am not sure what I did wrong, followed the direction on the site and thought I did it correctly.
Not sure if I deleted some file, or partition needed or what. I would greatly appreciate some help with this.
Also I would like a custom rom that is stable and fast. I don't need all the bells and whistles but one thing I would like and that is for the camera to be able to take pictures using voice. I know the stock rom allows for this. Not essential but preferred.
Please help with detailed instructions.
Thanks in advance.
It,s amazing
Please elaborate. What's amazing.
Boot into download mode and confirm the model # of the phone. I see you tried to flash I9300XXUGNB6_I9300OJVGNB3_I9300XXUGNA8_HOME which not for the the T999, it's for the gt-i9300.

OPen Odin, uncheck everything except f reset time. Flash TWRP. When you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot directly into recovery.

Is there anyway to get past this and undo this. I really dont want to restore the phone. And need to back a few items back. Please help me....
my experience
Hello.
I had a similar problem, when I had installed viper4android, without the debbuging mode on.
Couldn't acess to twrp, only download mode, so I needed to install the firmware with odin, get root acess, reinstall the twrp, and after reinstall my favorite rom. Of corse, all my data was lost in the process, but I can't see other way. Without twrp, how can one flash anything?
Maybe you can try to flash with odin just the bootloader and the modem, to see if it works. If not, just the firmware will solve the problem, I think.
Do what I m saying
