What kind of wipe/formatting do you do before you Install a new rom??

Being able to boot into recovery, at least, is a good start. Can you get into download mode, and, if so, have you used Odin to flash stock firmware, rather than using CWM or whatever recovery you're using? Can you use adb while the device is booting?

I have the same problem , although i do have a backup efs file from polar box that was made using i9300 not i9305, but no matter what rom i put on stock from odin or not still stuck at samsung logo:crying:

Iam at the same problem :/

Seems like a brick to me... need to use a jig, or just send back to samsung and say that your phone is not starting up. Happened for my galaxy ace last time. Send to samsung and they replaced my motherboard

Sv: [Q] hardbrick??
Not a brick! Just put it in download mode and flash stock rom via Odin and then go into stock recovery and factory reset!
This should do it.

+1 this.
Same thing happened to me and flashing from ODIN worked. Although I never recovered my serial number; it became all zeros. Thankfully my IMEI is okay so I'll live. And if you need stock firmware hit up samsung-updates.com.

flash cwm recovery
ooen your firmware with winrar
remove recovery.img (or similar)
flash it
let mobile reboot into recovery
it will flash a package and you would be in stock rom

[Q] HTC One - Developer Edition - Software Update Issue - 1.29.1540.16

I am sorry if there has already been a question posted on this, if so please direct me in the right way.
I have the HTC Developer Edition and am currently on Software 1.29.1540.3 and my phone has issued me the update (hurray! I need to fix the dam home and back buttons! so annoying...anyway) When I try to do the update (1.29.1540.16), my phone loads me into my custom recovery (ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.1) which then issues begin! Forever is stuck in Run Bug_fix tool. WHY?! WHY?!?!?!?!
I have provided pictures of the steps that my phone goes through so if you can tell me anything about it, please do so thank you!

looks like you are with custome recovery, you need to flash STOCK Recovery for Dev edition and after that you will be able to install OTA.
Here is the link for stock recovery :

Update issue-unable to mount internal sdcard
Hi,
I tried to perform the software update using CWM V6.0.3.0 sadly what I got is "invalid command argument" and "can't mount internal sd card" !!! Please help!

@mikeg818 : you need to flash recovery in Fastboot Mode
@sampagna : you cannot update if you have custom recovery. So first flash stock recovery in fastboot and then do the update ( provided you are on stock ROM)

@x017in: Sorry for the naive question. I still have a lot to learn about android. I have rooted my phone to put down CWM. Now I know that I am having custom recovery, but I am not sure if I am having custom ROM or stock ROM. Custom ROM refers to s.th like Cyanogenmod, right?

Yep. That's what custom Rom means.. so now you need to put back the recovery that came stock with the phone. Only then will the OTA update work

How to flash stcok recovery?
Hey guys, I'm new to android so I was wondering how to flash stock recovery (steps, guide)? and what does it do? Those pictures show exactly what's happening to me.
By the way I bought the htc one developer edition, it was supposed to be new but it came with CWM. So It wont let me install software OTA.

Help :(

Help.. I know im kinda stupid but this is what happens...
Forgetten to clear cache etc , flashed stock from cm10
Got bootloop, could not enter recovery.
So I used the pda recovery and got into recovery , flashing the stock rom successfully.
However when in stock rom , i could not either access the stock recovery OR CWM that I have tried flashing countless times
So basically , right now my phone can access download mode and boot normally, but not able to boot into any of the recovery.
Any help? Cos I want to root my phone.
Thanks

Bump?

would appericate a reply thanks

You need to root first before CWM!

Mini 2 has unlocked bootloader so you have kind of stock CWM, for root etc...

hmm.... i managed to root it without pc with the help of the guy above thanks.
and i flashed cwm... it boots into the s6500d screen (im using s6500 so i know that is the recovery) and after that it blacks out. tried alot of times yet still like this.any advice?
ps: flashed stock rom and tried to boot into STOCK recovery. failed

I have few times explained how to enter cwm if it's "jammed" I won't explain it again. Read other help topics and you will find out how to get into cwm by simple trick (there is at least 3 ways to do it)
Also you are so smart to flash D rom at NFC version.... Mate, don't mod your phone if you don't have clue what are you doing

I assume you did the same as I and tried flashing the recovery through odin, this leads to the revovery not working. Just root your phone using CF auto root. You then download the app flashify. Grant root acces.
Download the twrp-3.0.1-0-noblelte.img
Falsh it through flashify and then reboot recovery

Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software. it is also not opening download mode.
i tried smart switch but it could search my device SM-N920CD
