I have safestrap installed and it's running the eclipse rom. However, the original factory image has been wiped from the phone and there is no backup of it. So, the phone only works with safe mode enabled and booting into the eclipse rom. I have no way of going back to the original image install.
If i disable safe mode and boot up, since everything's wiped, all it does is get stuck at the boot animation screen and does not go anywhere. I've attempted to go into the normal recovery (PWR + VOL UP + VOL DOWN) and had tried to get it to install " DeodexDebloatedBionic.zip " but just says verification failed and refuses.
How do i re-install the OS so I can just load the phone normally without having to go into safe mode & use a custom ROM?

Was Recovering a Rom backup from Rom Manager and It is stuck at the android system recovery screen and won't let me select any options using the power button. I can go up and down using the volume buttons.

You can always go back to stock, re-root, install CWM, and try restoring again if you are still having trouble. Use Odin:

Ok, I also rooted and installed eSPyel's Paragon ROM and everything is great. However, when I go into CWM and boot into recovery, I get the same issue--it goes to the Samsung Recover <e3> screen (with purple text) and tries installing something but states it failed. I then can move up and down the menus with the Vol Up/Vol Dn buttons but pressing power does nothing. If I remove and then reinsert the battery, it takes me to CWM recovery screen where I can install new ROMs, etc. It goes this every time I try to boot into recovery. Does anyone know a fix or do I just need to Odin back to stock and try again?
Hi,
in preperation for the ICS release coming soon, i thought id flash my gnote back to a stock rom. I am going from RocketRom version 22 (i did have cwm and rooted)
I booted my device into download mode using the jig and using odin 1.85 put the file : into pda
N7000XXLA6_N7000XXLA4_N7000XEULA1_HOME.tar.md5
it says the flash went successfully and upon restart the phone just loops on the samsung galaxy swirly logo.
Is there something im missing?
please help!
sorry for panic, managed to fix by booting into recovery menu and wiping to factory defaults....thanks
Pull out your battery, wait for a bit, put it back in.
Boot into Recovery (Volume up + Home + Power) and do a factory reset and cache wipe. Reboot.
That ought to help.
Edited: wasn't quick enough.
I was running SlimICS v4.2 for a few months, didn't have any problems.
But yesterday my battery was empty and when i charged the phone, it went to download mode.(downloading.. Android dude with shovel)
So to get out of download mode I pulled the battery, but it didn't work. Next I flashed it back to stock(2.3.3), the phone finally started and everything looked normal, but now everytime when i turn the phone off it goes into download mode. The only way to fix it is to reflash every time. So is there a way to get out of download mode without having to reflash everytime? (and reinstall all my apps and passwords etc)
which recovery mode you use? Have you tried to change recovery mode?
a few months ago I´m stuck with getting out from recovery mode (" reboot system" boot me back recovery mode) . I use old TWRP and then I instlled latest version and then it workt.
Just one idea.

I use CWM recovery. But I'm unable to boot into recovery. When I press the power button to turn it off and after that hold the combination to go into recovery mode, it goes into download mode.
I believe i've royally screwed up and i want to know if there's anything I can do to save my phone.
I downloaded the latest BeyondROM from here after being on a previous version for about a year (not sure which one I was on):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...evelopment-exynos/rom-beyondrom-v6-0-t4017921
I flashed the zip file through TWRP and only after flashing did I realize that I was on TWRP 3.3.1-11 and not 3.4.0-3, which I'm guessing is why my phone is now stuck on the boot logo when I boot it. I went back into TWRP and cleared the Dalvik & standard cache again after this but no dice.
But it gets worse. I then tried to upgrade to 3.4.0-3 by flashing it from TWRP 3.3.1-11 using the recovery partition, hoping to reflash the firmware after doing so.
After doing this and my phone rebooting, not only am I stuck on the boot screen, but now I can no longer enter recovery mode either by holding Bixby + Vol Up + Power. My phone isn't recognized by my PC or Odin now either.
Is my phone completely bricked, or is there a way to salvage this mess i've made?
Could really use some help.
Thanks guys.
If you can go to download mode, try re-flashing the stock Samsung firmware via Odin.

Thanks for the suggestion, however that's my primary issue. I can't get to download mode (which really should be recovery mode since I have TWRP).
Do you think it could be an issue with me rebooting to recovery mode after upgrading TWRP using TWRP itself? Maybe my phone needs to be hard powered off once to access TWRP again?
And since I have that failed ROM install, the only way to power off the phone would be to wait for the battery to drain.
Power+volume down+Brixby goes right into download mode bypassing the recovery

My phone just keeps restarting when Power + vol down are held. Looks like draining the battery didn't help either. I'm stuck on the boot screen even when plugged in with 0% battery. When I remove the USB Cable and hold Vol down + Power, the phone seems to turn off because there's no battery, but immediately after plugging in a power cable, the phone automatically turns on by itself again.
You can try this, but best not to flash anything without charging battery first. You can charge while phone is off:
Hi, I had mistakenly wiped the OS while wiping out the data while trying to flash no-verity-opt-encrypt (error 1). System was stuck in boot loop, with only Samsung Logo displayed. No amount of Power+Volume Down + Bixby buttons could get out of the boot loop.
Solution: As I was able to boot into TWRP (only application left in phone), rebooted into download mode from TWRP, managed to flash into stock firmware and this time successfully rooted the phone using magisk after successfully flashing Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt latest version instead of no-verity-opt-encrypt which keeps failing due to error 1.
