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.

So you are rooted...what recovery did you install? I'm still not clear in understanding your position.

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
I apologize if this has been covered have been looking for the last few hours
I followed the instructions for the hyperdrive update to install to new bootloader during install of new hyperdrive from it got stuck at 70% and reset it. after that safestrap was no longer on the phone and would take me to the stock bootloader but would just loop on bootloader, is there any way to help fix this. any help would be greatly appreciated. I was trying to find a way to see if i could install safestrap but it being an apk havent found a way through only stock bootloader

I have no idea what you are meaning thru stock bootloader. Do you mean thru stock recovery? Are you saying you are stuck in a boot loop?
What was your firmware, what Rom version were you running, what safestrap did you have loaded....need some basic info

I still had safestrap on the phone and then proceded to install hyperdrive rom rls 17.1. During the install my phone got stuck at 70% instll and the rebooted. From there now itgoes to the samsung start up and the goes to the stock recovery where it asks me to either reboot, install from adb, install from extenal and so on. If i click reboot will just take me back to samsung svreen and then the.stock recovery
Hello guys, i tried to root my G925F using the howto without tripping KNOX.
First i flashed the engineering Bootloader without any error messages in Odin. AFter that i flashed TWRP from the Thread and from there on the phone doesn't boot anymore, only the splash screen appears and nothing further. I tried to install lower versions of the TWRP. 2.8.6 , the stock recovery, other bootloaders....nothing.
My phone does not boot anymore.
Is there any hope i don't need to throw it away? Dammit i bought it yesterday and in the Thread was written it works with 5.0.2 AND 5.1.1 but it doesn't work with 5.0.2.
What can i do? If maybe try to flash a stock rom ? I am really desperate, yesterday my Galaxy ALPHA died and now this..
1. try using twrp 2.8.6.1 flashed through odin
if that doesn't work then
2. download kies 3 and then plug your device in, go to tools at the top and then firmware upgrade and initialisation, enter sm-g925f in the model number and then when it asks for your serial number then enter it from the back of the phone. (its in really faint writing) then follow the onscreen instructions
should sort it out
see at the people that flashed it on 5.0.2 it works..
you are sure having 5.0.2 because if you have 5.1.1 it will not boot if you not flash the kernel and the supersu
you can enter recovery..?

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.

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..

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

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.
