Did you get Odin to recognize device and connect
Also did you pull battery depress keys then insert battery to get into cwm

got it, thanks. I haven't used stock recovery in so long, I forgot to hit menu capacitive button. restoring now.
Hi guys, i have a very big problem. I think i may have bricked my smartphone.
I've installed the Cyanogenmod 10 by ivendor from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000828
I already searched the whole net but i never found the exact same "symtoms", here they are:
If i start the Handy it stops at the Samsung Galaxy s plus/Cyanogenmod Screen, but after a few Minutes the screen get's dark and nothing else happens.
Also if i push the menu or return button the light get's on and doesn't off anymore.
It's impossible to get into recovery mode. If i try the screen get's black and again after pushing the menu button it lights on.
I also already tried to flash it again to a stock rom, because the download mode still works.
But after the flashing it won't reboot and if i reset, the bootscreen hasn't changed a bit the cyanogenmod logo is still there.
So i believe, that the flashing didn't work.
Another thing is, that i installed several clockworkmods to get my smarthphone back.
If you have a solution please help me, going to school without music is very bad :crying:
I forgot to mention, that if i load the phone while it's off. The normal shown batterie only shows an stuck loading circle.

Flash BroodROM RC5 with odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396837
That should get your phone working again
Make sure to stick with the instructions.
Next time when flashing a new rom make sure to use the correct recovery and that you have downloaded the new ROM fully

Further more - I would flash the alpha 7 version of ivendors rom which seems to be more stable.

I tried the BroodRom but there is this error on the download screen that says: MCC Boot: MBR read failed
So, i just tried factory flash by "recovery --wipe_data" with adb but it just says: "/sbin/postrecoveryboot.sh not found"
Phone: GT-I9305 Optus
OS: Stock 4.1.2
Problem: I decided to root my phone, mainly to be able to use Titanium backup, and followed one of the guides here.
Odin did its thing nice and easy, phone rebooted and installed CF-Root just like it was supposed to.
However, on the reboot after install, it asked for my password (Device is encrypted). No big deal, enter password.....didn't work. I've tried multiple times, and it's not accepting my password at all.
Did I just brick my phone? Is there a way to fix this?
Edit: The phone now says I have seven more tries before it erases everything on it. Honestly, I'm not that fussed about having to re-install everything, I just want to be able to use my phone.
Edit 2: Tried going into the debug/reset menu (Vol Up+Home+Power) All I get is stuck at the S3 splash screen, with a VERY tiny red '!' at the top left corner.
Try the process again but don't let odin reboot your phone. After it flashes cf-root, make sure the reboot option is not thicked, press home button +Volume up +power at the same time. You should get straight in to recovery.

My phone has no OS . It was using a TWRP recovery and when i tried installing new OSs , it would simply reboot to TWRP after restarting phone.
Problem is now , even TWRP won't open .
Also , phone keeps restarting every 15-20 seconds if i plug it into charging or pc , with a blackish screen(meaning i know it is switched on).
I can't access anything anymore.
Pls help

Hello all,
I followed the guides on here, and downloaded the samsung firmwares from samsmobile. The first time I didn't read correctly and downloaded android vs 9, which I was already on, and flashed successfully. So I know the flashing itself is being performed [hopefully] correctly.
However, when I went back and downloaded the version 8, [N950U1UEU5CRL2_N950U1OYM5CRL2_TMB.zip & N950U1UEU5CRK1_N950U1OYM5CRK1_TMB & N950U1UEU5DSD4_N950U1OYM5DSD4_TMB ] the phone seems to flash successfully [ according to ODIN ] yet, it stays stuck at the SAMSUNG Galaxy Note8 black boot screen.
I attempted flashing 4 more times, redownloading the zip file each time just in case of corruption, yet still this same result for all but the version 9 firmware.
Anyone have any suggestions?
If you upgraded to Pie and bootloader changed, you cant go back to Oreo. Now if the version of Pie you went to has the same bootloader version as the Oreo you want then you can go back. But lets say you went to bootloader S5 or U5 and last Oreo was S4 or U4 you cant go back.

Your good to go back to Oreo. Just do a factory wipe first then flash with Odin again. Sometimes going back to Oreo from Pie causes issues..sometimes not always. It happened to me when I went back to Oreo and used Home_csc to save data.

Had me worried for a moment there lol. Saw that issue about the bootloader in a few other threads, and thought I'd eliminated that as a possibility given the numbers involved in the filenames. I <think> that you just confirmed the same.
Not sure how to do a factory wipe with my phone stuck at the boot loader screen though. It doesn't even want to boot into safe mode.
I suppose I could flash pie back on, do the wipe, then go back to oreo?
edit:
So went back to pie, did a factory reset, then attempted to throw oreo back on aaaaaand, it's once more frozen at the boot screen :/

Try going to recovery mode and click reboot.. if that doesn't work format from there and reboot
To get into recovery, boot to download, press volume up. Then do the 3button combination again as if booting to download. The very moment screen goes black keep power button pressed and home button.. but move to volume up.This will get you into stock recovery. Wipe from there.

By home button, do you mean the bixby button below the volume keys, or the invisible home button by pressing the center of the screen at the bottom?
Either way, attempted both and doesn't seem to want to get into recovery mode. just keep hitting the black boot screen time and time again from the download mode.
I'll keep attempting, perhaps my timing is the issue.
Edit: Ok, after a quick google search [all hail the oracle]it's the bixby button. Not great news, as this still doesn't seem to be doing the trick.
Putting it back on version 9, then seeing if that allows me to get into recovery.
Ohhhh kay,
threw 9 back on, this let me get into the recovery mode. Used the same methodology I had been attempting with the 8 firmware, so I know that I was using the correct set of keys. Did the cache and factory format, then went straight back into download mode and threw 8 on.
Back to the endless boot screen
Perhaps I'm odin'ing wrong? I only have the AP box checked when I'm doing 8 and 9 flashes, perhaps it's different for 8 than it is 9?
Im so sorry didnt mean home was messing around with Note FE when I sent message and it has home button..again sorry.

Dont know why your only flashing AP in Odin. When you download the firmware you have to extract it and you should have BL..AP..CP..CSC..HOME_CSC depending on the firmware you loaded. To keep data put HOME_CSC in CSC spot. But if you want a wipe just use csc

Apparently I read an outdated guide, or just an unclear one. I'll chalk it up to inexperience.
Whelp, looks like the issue was found. I appreciate you assisting me through this.
Adding in the BL/CP/CSC as well as the AP in Odin gave success!
Now I can start the hours of tweaking and app downloads lol.
Thanks again mate.
No problem at all, glad you're up and running.
