i wanted to install twrp on my sm a725f, but i used sm a725q twrp since there isnt one for a725f. i flashed it using odin. (my bootloader is unlocked). i tried power button and volume key down. i get to the unlocked bootloader screen. i press ok and continue. i holded both volume keys to get on odin mode but it gets into twrp. i have looked into forums and found that i should let my battery drain and then the volume keys, but the battery wont drain fast from recovery. is there anything i can do?

Yeah, that sounds about right. Can you get into rsd mode or anything??? Btw, please post this in Q&A. You will more than likely get flamed for posting in the wrong section.

i tired booting into recovery and iot says starting fastboot protcol support
There are lots of tutorials on here on how to unbrick your phone (depending on hard brick or soft brick)
Look through the Q&A section - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1070
If you get an error message on your screen during regular boot, use the search tool in that forum to search for what it says. That should help narrow it down.
BTW: When booting into recovery, make sure you Hold Vol + down until it says "fastboot" on the screen, then press Vol + down until the words say "Android Recovery" and then press Vol + Up.

Hey, please make this a sticky(just in case someone else is freaking out like I was). I had the CWM boot loop issue and was not able to get ADB working on my device. I ended up uninstalling the device/driver and using a proxy Android Device to get it in, then reinstalled the Asus drivers. After that, it worked! Not sure if it works for every one BUT it was at least a good thing..
P.S. DO NOT USE REBOOT IN TO RECOVERY, IT'S DANGEROUS. TURN DEVICE OFF AND GO IN TO RECOVERY BY PRESSING VOLUME DOWN AND POWER, THEN VOLUME UP WHEN PROMPTED!
What thread were you posting on? I'm curious.

Hey guys, I was being careless unfortunately and installed the wrong kernel and now my phone is in a black screen boot loop. I don't know how to fix this as I can't get into download mode or recovery mode to flash my back up or even factory reset. Can anyone please help me out? This is the first time this has happened, and now I'm really freaking out! Thank you for your help.
Can your computer see it, in ADB? Or Odin?

And as long as there is some sign of life it is not bricked, more like sponged.
Try to force download mode by:
Open Odin
Hook up the phone without the battery
Hold Vol Down + Home (Don't hold power)
Insert the battery still holding Vol Down + Home
Hi guys! I've been having problems with my Mega. My phone works really fine. I just got it the other day. But whenever I try to go to download mode or recovery I only get a blank screen but I know that it goes to download or recovery because my phone could detect it. I've been reading some forums that I have to reflash the bootloader of my phone so I could fix that error. Does anyone here confirm this and could anyone provide me a flashabble copy of the bootloader? Thanks!
Here's what I found on the other forums:

Your problem sounds similar to this one. I assume when you say 'blank screen' that the screen is powered on?
Power off the phone, hold down VolUp + VolDown + Power for 4 to 5 seconds. Then release ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Now press Volume Up. Now hopefully you will be in download mode even if you can't see that you are. If it doesn't work try it again a couple of times. The reason that you have to press Volume Up is that a warning screen is actually displayed before the phone lets you into download mode.
The phone will give you no other indication that its in download mode and won't 'recognise Odin' when not in download mode. Make sure you have Samsung USB drivers (comes with Samsung Kies) installed on your PC.
Oh yeah and by the way the thread I've linked to suggests you have to reflash the bootloader to fix the 'blank screen' problem.

I got my hands on an s3 that I am trying to fix, not sure if it has been rooted or bricked but basically when I put the battery in, I get the Samsung logo, then the Samsung S3 and then it turns off. Ideas as to where to approach this? Again not sure if its been rooted or bricked.
Its my first time working on an android so please provide instructions if there are technical steps related to it.
Can you enter on Download Mode? Press at the same time volume down+ home button + power button and when the phone request it press volume up. On these screen you can see if the phone is official or modified. You can do a screen capture pressing home button and power button at the same time
This is what happens when I just put the battery in.

Can't get into download mode either, it will start, show the samsung and say entering recovery, then jumps to the galaxy screen that you see in the video and turn off.
Sounds like an electronic fault to be honest.
