So, I was running my g1 with an old JF 1.5 build, but I wanted to upgrade to a Hero one.
So I followed one of the many guides, but I got stuck at any parts that wanted me to go into recovery mode, because I have fastboot on my phone.
I need to figure out how to get rid of fastboot!
To make things worse, (and hopefully not bricked...) the phone will only boot into the fastboot screen now! It wont even start up properly! I'm hoping to god that I havent made my phone useless...
Anyone know how I can fix this in any way? I'm BEGGING you guys!
If you can get into fastboot you aren't bricked.
Just use the RC29 .nbh file to flash back to RC29 & then you can be back to normal.
You're right, you did screw up... THIS IS IN THE WRONG FRIGGIN' FORUM GODDAMNIT! [/rant]
Fastboot and Recovery exist side by side. Are you holding the right buttons to get into recovery? Its Home + Power, not Camera + Power.
Reported.
how do I do that through fastboot? I thought of doing that but I cant find anything that tells me how
EDIT: Yes, nocturna, I am pressing home+power. No matter how I boot up the phone, it ALWAYS goes into fastboot. Even if I just press the power button on its own.
And sorry if this is the wrong forum.. I'm just in a panic right now and looking for help

I never said that he screwed up his recovery... I just said that they aren't mutually exclusive and that he doesn't need to get rid of one to have the other...
You need some kittens and a car battery.

Oh okay, when you said they exist "side by side" it made it sound like you were saying they were one entity.
pressing the camera button doesnt do anything, and when I try to do fastboot update <path of update.zip> it errors

all anything seems to do is refresh the fastboot screen

make sure the USB cord is not connected.
trying to fastboot update update.zip gives me "error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
Nothing I do physically involving the phone accomplishes anything =/ .... is there any other way to flash RC29 onto it?
Like I said kittens & a car battery
I dont think either of those things would help at all...........
If you give me what I ask for I will tell you how to fix your phone. No orange kittens though.

i just bought the captivate off my friend for 150 the problem is when you turn the phone the screen stays on the att world phone screen and then you can hear sound but the screen stays the same and it doesnt change so i was wondering if there is a way to fix this
Do you know if your friend kept it stock?
honestly i have no clue but i believe he did
Sounds like he didn't and that's why he sold it so cheap. Go to this thread and get the tools you will be needing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439. Install the drivers then download the .zip and extract the files, download the pda.tar. Run Odin as administrator put the pda.tar in the pda slot and the pit file in the pit slot.
Next power off the phone and remove the SIM, your external sd card and battery. Plug the usb cable into the computer only then press and hold the volume up and down buttons at the same time, don't touch power, put the battery in and plug the usb into the phone. You should be in download mode, Odin should see your phone push start and let Odin run. This will take you to a working phone, just like it was when it came from AT&T.
Good luck and let us know if it works.
First of can you should never have paid him for the phone if it wasn't fully working when you got it.
Second can you get into download mode? If so then get the one click odin and flash back to stock and you will have a working phone. If you can't get into download mode then demand your money back from him and drop him as a friend.

I linked him to c3poLOL's Odin package instead that way if he has a borked three button combo this will fix that too. I agree, not a good friend, sounds like he soft bricked it before selling it. Should be fixable and then it's a steal, if it was off contract.
You sure he is a friend
Captivate
Cog 2.2
this didnt work because the phone did not show up on my computer even after i installed the drivers and odin
Try using a different usb port on your pc, one in the back where the motherboard is, perhaps you need more power, I've seen this happen. Are you familiar with adb? Are you able to get into download or recovery mode using the three button combo. ADB will work from the recovery screen.
I had the same issue today someones rom screwed up my phone and it would boot up with sound, but be stuck at the att screen. Wasnt able to activate download mode with buttons or adb, because permissions werent granted. So my advice for anyone else that has this problem get superoneclick to root your device and get permissions ( I used Z4 root which i will never do again) and run cmd.exe type in the path you have for example mine was C:\Users\PEGLEG\android-sdk-windows\tools\adb shell (modify it for where you have yours, then type in reboot download, and you should get into the download screen where odin will fix your device.
my phone is also "frozen" at a boot up screen.

Can u use button combo to reboot into recovery or download mode ?? If not, then u r gonna need to make or buy a Jig. See my sig link below for info on doin both.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
My phone recently got bricked to the point where i could not restore it myself, therefor i sent it to the place i bought it and they managed to repair that but unfortunately a new problem appeared then, now the home button does not work at all and the lock/power button only works half, its the same either im in recovery mode or if im fully booted up. I can turn on the phone after alot of tries but it doesnt seem like it works at all when it booted, i cant do the 3 button combo because the home button doesn't work but i can get in their by rebooting in to recovery mode. I can't flash anything in cwm since i cant select anything with the home button not working, can i restore a backup with a different method?. To me it seems like an hardware issue but i have no idea. I havn't been able to find a solution my self and i would like to avoid sending it in again.
Save your apps.
Reboot in recovery with a software and use Odin to reflash.
Reply me for more info
I guess you mean download mode? not recovery?
I can't seem to get it into that, i tried with adb with the command "adb reboot download" but that just reboots it normally
If the buttons aren't working properly in recovery mode how can software fix this then ? I think the only option is a replacement
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
Thats what i think aswell, but it seems strange that it would happend. The guy who fixed the phone said he had no problems with it, i doubt he would lie. And i dont think it would happend under transportation, it was solid packed.
if the home button doesnt work it's maybe base firmware (bootloader) who is damaged.
Let me explain
Here we have the boot process of android phones.

the base firmware that i talked (the bootloader) detect the hardware but if it doesnt do it it's because it's damaged.
It's my theory but it can be false.
I advise you to save your apps with TB and reflash with Odin with PIT 512
Please reply me
Thanks for the reply, good post.
But i can't seem to get into download mode, not even with adb, it just reboots normally.
I have ordered a USB jig but it will take a while before it gets here, i'm looking into making one my self i just have to get a resistor.
It appears it is a hardware problem, if you press real hard on the home button it will register it, i managed to flash another ROM but it did nothing. I guess i have to replace the button my self or get it repaired by the place i got it or a shop that specializes in Android phones.
After flashing MIUI Jelly Beans I wanted to go back to stock 2.3 ROM to check on something and did a restore with CWM which didn't work because (as I've learned later) it uses different file system, anyway I've flashed s1_odin_20100512.pit file alone with Odin, and the result is that I can only turn the phone on in download mode.. What can I do now?
Thanks to everybody in advance..
I've tried to flash stock ROM using the method mentioned in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493
and after finishing, Odin gave me "Fail".. What does it mean and what should I do now?

you have KIES running in the background shut it down, get solutions from My Android Solutions for Odin stuck
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT SD card, press power
button for a minute , than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card...make sure you
have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing
Thanks a lot, and yes Samsung Kies was running in the background while I was trying to flash, I'll make sure it is shutdown this time, anyway the battery is almost at zero now and the phone isn't charging, so I'l have to wait for a friend who has SGS until tomorrow so I can charge the battery and try to flash the phone again.
On the other hand, I remembered something that might be important, which is that my phone have problems with internal memory (when you have error messages like "E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"), not sure if it had something to do with failing to flash stock ROM besides having Samsung Kies running in background (because I got stuck on "Set Partition" in Odin only one time), so there might be something else ausing these problems..anyway I'll try to flash it again tomorrow and see what happens.
Thanks again.

Look at My Android solutions again, for other problems, when you Flash bootloader, tick update bootloader too

You mean during flashing the ROM right? or should I flash bootloader separately?
(I didn't touch my phone yet, still waiting for my friend for recharging)

yup, just tick it, can be done separately too
Thanx a lot, the phone is working again, it turned out that you must use Windows account that have administrator privileges in order for the flashing process to work (not sure though cuase I've tried admin account after restart, so may be restarting PC was the answer)
HELP!
S20 FE 5G SM-G781B.
I am at my wits end here. I have tried and tried, but, nothing... tried flashing TWRP with Odin multiple times (and versions), get a A-OK, installed fine, then try to boot into recovery... and it's just standard recovery.
You must disable auto reboot in Options tab in odin.
I've done that. No Bueno. I've been (trying to) follow this guide, but when it comes to the "press Vol Up+Vol Down+Power Button to enter Recovery" it just... doesn't work.
EDIT: Well, with USB connected Vol Up+Vol Down+Power Button just dumps me in Download Mode...
Try volume up+power only.
That just boots me into the standard recovery.
Thanks for taking time to help me, btw
Try another version of odin then
I SWORE I had tried different versions of Odin.. I have 3 versions downloaded (3.10, 3.12, 3.14). Odin3 v3.12 did the trick... somehow... so far, so good. But of course, when one problem seemingly gets solved, another one arises...
I can't find the zips (multidisabler-samsung-2.6a, Magisk-v21.4) in TWRP. I'm about to chuck this stupid phone out the window.
EDIT: I hate this stupid phone. One step forward, two steps back...
does usb connect to computer?
Yes. But when I connect in TWRP I just get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
And I can't copy any files to the Internal Storage.
Connecting 'normally' I can access my SD card and Internal Storage as normal.
It seems like the TWRP fried something on your phone......Does 'adb push files' work(I can elaborate on this if needed)
Figures Hope it's nothing irreversible.
The TWRP I'm flashing is twrp-3.5.0_10-2_afaneh92-Q-r8q. You know if this is the right one?
What android version are you on?
11
Then you have used wrong TWRP, as expected. This is the right one:
twrp-3.5.0_10-2_afaneh92-r8q.tar | by mohammad.afaneh for Galaxy S20 FE 5G
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
androidfilehost.com
Friendly Remind you that you need to reboot directly into download mode and flash this recovery(i.e.AVOID booting into stock rom)(Surely, disable auto reboot)
Q means built for Android 10 and R means built for Android 11.You used 10 TWRP on 11 ROM so it is buggy.
Good to know about the Q/R difference, thx.
But flashing the R version yields the same results

Nooooo! That may really be a irreversible damage. Try factory reset in TWRP or/and reboot into stock rom, which may help.

Maybe more than figures. The whole data partition can be corrupt. Factory reset (format data) in TWRP for android 11. Hate to say but you have to say farwell to all your files, to say the least.

Hi everybody,
On my OnePlus 8 Pro 256 GB 100% original, I just did the latest official OxygenOS 12.1 update, download OK, then reboot and when restarting the phone remains on the OnePlus logo with the vibrator vibrating intermittently...

I am disgusted

Use MSM tool, go back to Android 11 and try again, use oxygen updater app to download the full image and local upgrade. Everything you need is in XDA itself, just a search away.

Can you boot into safe mode? Try pressing reboot long and press safe mode.
I am kind of in the same situation, but now already in a state in which I cannot even get this screen anymore.
Can you still access via adb?
I'm not good at all with customising phones, but I have access to recovery and fastboot mode...
Please try booting in safe mode first. You can do that from the screen in your topic start as explained. Let me know what happens
Please could you give me the link for the start-up procedure in safe mode ?
Now I have a bug, when I push volume + and - and start button when booting, I go on Fastboot mode , this mode is unusable because the colored part at the top of the screen scrolls automatically (Start>>Power off>>Show Barcode>>recovery Mode>>restart bootloader>>start...) without being able to select any mode.

Sorry if you are this ignorant than I cannot help you. This is the last chance
impossible to go to Android then impossible to long press reboot...
You cannot get into the state of your picture in the first post? Press "Redemarrer" long
Sorry I wasn't understanding, effectivly I could reboot in safe mode by long press but sadly when restarting the phone remains on the OnePlus logo with the vibrator vibrating intermittently and don't goes to android home screen...
Do you know another way to keep my data ?
I just did a "adb pull /dev/block/sda23" to save the data partition.. But I don't know if I will ever be able to read it, since it is encrypted
it's impossible to downgrade update ?
