[SOLVED] Help!!! BootLoop and no CWM

Hi Guys
I really hope someone can help me!
I've searched the forums and can't find anyone else with my problem.
I flashed ICS stunner and that was working fine.
Then I tried LiquidSmooth and eventually got that working fine.
Then I tried to go back to ICS Stunner and this is where my problems start.
I had some failed flashes with CWM and I think I've messed up the kernel.
I tried to sort this out by flashing back to pre-rooted GB rom so I could reinstall CF Kernel.
The flash in Odin appears to complete successfully, but afterwards phone just goes into bootloop at Samsung boot animation.
As I flashed back to pre-rooted stock rom I don't have recovery.
As far as I can find, to install a kernel I will need to either boot into android (which I can't due to bootloop) or install through CWM (which I can't as no longer have CWM)
Can anyone help?

Try factory reset from stock recovery.

Turn off your phone, press and hold the three following buttons together for more than 10 seconds: Volume up button + Home button + Power button
That is if you are having bootloops after flashing Gingerbread using PC Odin coming from ICS

Sorry, I know this post is really old, i have the exact same issue. I dont have a home button so what can i use instead of that? also when it try to boot into recovery it just shows the open android logo.

You do not have the same issue because here nobody spoke of a missing home button.
So: What do you mean? Your home button is broken? Or you do have a device without home button?
After this is clear we can start to analyze your problem.

Phone always boots in recovery

I was trying to restore my phone to previous state using Rom Manager. Phone restarted in recovery mode, formatted the boot partition and failed to restore. I applied existing of CWM ROM update.zip and snce then my phone restarts in Recovery mode everytime.
I tried one click restore using ODIN, Heimdall nothing worked. recreated the partitions wiped everything, loaded stock ROM but still the phone boots up in recovery mode.
Please suggest some pointers on how to troubleshoot this problem.

do you mean the one click for installing stock rom or something else?

I had the same problem a few days ago couldn't figure it Out. searched and searched for the right image
Files for my Nexsus S. I ended up wiping everything and flashed all the image files with TRWP cause CWR wouldn't work
for the stock ICS and and it worked fine. Now I'm running the 4.1.1 jellybean it sweet.Hope this helps.

Yes the one click package for installing Stock ROM. it did repartitioning, wiped all data, loaded everything successfully. but after booting it shows up the recovery screen.

Hmmm... i've heard of cases where the power button on the captivate refuses to be 'unpressed' which makes it boots up just by plugging in the battery,
Maybe it's like that with your volume buttons?
Does it feels a little bit weird like it doesn't click when you press it?

Thats a good point...
The buttons seem to be normal. I tried keytest and the results look fine
Volume Up : 115
Volume Down : 114
Power : 116
Menu : 139
Home : 102
Search : 217
Back : 158
Moreover I can access recovery and flash any ROM that I have on SDCard. Funny part whenever I flash a new ROM I see a new recovery
Do you know of anyway use ADB without booting phone and putting it in debugging mode?
Thanks for your inputs.

Update: Issue is resolved
I'm not sure on exactly what worked. Using System Corps Recovery, I changed all the partitions to ext4. Made some random changes to toggles during boot. Restarted in download mode and flashed a one click stock rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
it booted in recovery, then clicked on Flash Bootloader in one click and restarted the phone in download mode and flashed it again with the same ROM.
Thats it. I feel that Bootloader did the trick, but I had it flashed earlier as well.
Thanks irfarf & Sammyazel for your inputs on this.

congrats!!
i do also think that it was the boot loader is the problem here
i had a few problem with my friends cappy won't go into download mode and whenever it boots up, it shows a bunch of random colors than a boot image. turns out that the last bootloader flash wasn't done correctly or something.

Confirmed - the problem is with the bootloader. Once I flashed an original firmware from Samsung, I was then able to install CWM and any ROM I wish after that. Not sure what caused the problem, but this was the solution in my case. Thanks to everyone who pointed me in the right direction!!!

Try running the keytest from recovery mode to ensure all the keys are working fine.
In my case it was corrupt bootloader that caused this issue. you can try flashing stock ROM with bootloaders to fix it.
All the best!

i have same problem. buttons work ok after key test.
how can i reinstall the bootloader?

What exactly did you do to get to this point?
You can find Odin KK4 with bootloaders here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
You will need to flash corn kernel with Odin 1.85 afterwards if you wanna flash a custom ROM.

[HELP] Can't unbrick my i9001

Hi everybody !
Yesterday, I swapped the sd cards of my gs+ but the phone didn't boot and stayed at the boot animation (CM10.1). So, I tried to restock it but Odin stayed at the AMSS download. I tried to install many other stock ROM but it was stuck at this thread. Today, I retry to flash CWM recovery and stock ROM but now it block at setup connection. I don't know why because I put the ariesve.ops file in the good section.
I have already bricked my phone many times but the restock worked fine.
What can I do ? Please help me I love my I9001 ! :crying:
Thanks a lot for your answers !

The best solutions is to go to a Samsung Service. I had bricked my phone to and i paid 100 $ and they changed my motherboard. Or go to a professional service.

The problem you had was caused by ODIN. I've had it to. You have to use a specific version of ODIN and that version is the one you finde in the recovery package you've just used. So beware in the future!

I tried with 3 versions of Odin but now I'm glad it is working fine

From now on you can use this http://easyandroidsolutions.blogspot.ro/2012/10/recover-samsung-galaxy-s-plus-i9001.html

It is very important to use correct version of ODIN, happened to me too with my first flashing

If you successfully flashed cwm via odin. switch off the phone. take out the battery and insert it back.
Connect your data cable to your phone(not to pc). Then press and hold volume up button and switch on the phone. When the samsung logo appears leave the button. When Samsung galaxy s plus logo appears, just tap the menu button(left touch button). You will get in to the CWM recovery. Then wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache (in advanced menu). Then flash a new rom.

Does download mode work? You can access it by holding volume down+home+power. Even though you could not access recovery, you should still be able to use download mode + odin and reflash new rom.

i have tried down vol+ home + power and its not working..i ll try now with odin since its my last chance..thanks for your help

Entering download mode could be tricky sometimes if you didn't press (and hold for several seconds) all buttons simultaneously, the phone would just reboot. Also I've read that there could be different button combos on different SGS1 variants (e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14391773#post14391773).
Here are some instructions, how to flash using odin, however, i doubt odin could detect your phone without download mode or phone fully booted.

SIII Mini rebooting every 3 seconds! Please help!

Hi there,
My phone has started trying to reboot every 3 seconds. Where can I download an Android OS and how do I flash it onto my phone?
First time threader, not a techie. Be gentle.

I have also just started having this issue! Would be great if someone has some advice.

weird, mine started to have this issue 2 days ago as well : o
i smell conspiracy
however, i think you should just read up on some tutorials, there are tons of them out there

What rom? Stock 4.1 or cyanogenmod?

didnt work for me, also bought a new battery, because other sources said this might be the cause of the bootloop. didnt work either. i have the stockrom 4.1.x
that i rooted a long time ago. so i will try to flash a custom rom on it, see if it works
---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------
i have one question left though: do i need odin to flash the rom, or is it enough to select the corresponding option in cwm? i did read several tutorial about that, most are with odin. my head hurts from the information overload, since i barely have any knowledge about modding android.
a brief answer is appreciated
edit: found the answer x)

So i tried installing cyanogenmod 11 with cwm, but my device keeps booting (half an hour so far) -> apparently i screwed up.
i attempted to restore my backup, but the problem is that the boot error is even present in recovery mode, so i didnt manage to restore it yet. any ideas on how to proceed`?

i forgot to update the thread, sorry about that x).
actually i managed to resolve my problem already and successfully installed cyanogenmod 11. also, the booting error is hardware-based. i realized that it occasionally occured after pressing the power button. apparently the button "presses itself" for longer after using it and this causes the restart. a lot of samsung-users seem to have this problem.
thank you nevertheless for your reply
