I had already rooted my device about a week ago and today I wanted to flash a rom, but I need a recovery first. I had all of the files ready, but I noticed that when I booted into recovery mode it only flashed the green android guy with his front open for about a second and then shut off for about 4 seconds. The phone doesn't turn off, just the screen. So I rebooted and downloaded an app thinking it would allow me to boot straight into download mode, but it just created a boot into recovery cycle. Now I can't get into my phone. Any help would be appreciated

I had the same problem after root, the only fix that I could find was to make a full flash of the phone. You need to download the original firmware and flash via odin.

I rooted my mums ace using this method. However I didn't install CWM, I just went straight ahead and stupidly installed the .zip straight from the recovery mode utility. I'm trying to install this ROM.
Now I'm stuck at this step and I think I may have softbricked it.... Youtube clip below:

Basically it turns on, the sammy logo comes up and then it goes red and lines out. Then it just sits there with the backlight on.
I have a download jig at hand if I need it, so I can access download mode and I have the SD card to use.
Update: installed CWM through the .zip recovery file. i then installed the ROM above and it's now just stuck at the boot logo, with the cyanogenmod blue circle swirling around.

Did you factory reset in recovery?

Yep, it did nothing. I'm guessing that when I flashed the CM10 ROM it cleaned out the factory reset.
Ok, panic over!
I managed to get this ROM working.
Hey guys, my phone got totally stuck on a Samsung logo (neverending loop).
Yesterday I let my bro play an Angry Birds on my phone. After a while I took my phone back and to my surprise it wasn't responding. Mobile was turned on (connected to the charger) but all I could see was a black screen. I tried restarting my phone by removing battery but it didn't help at all. I got stuck at Cyanogen Mod logo everytime. Since I haven't updated my firmware in a while I decided to intstall the newest version of CM (KitKat 4.4.4 from novafusion.pl) using Odin app. After a successful installation my phone still didn't boot up, I was getting stuck on a blue CM logo. After this I wanted to wipe my cache/dalvik cache but I wasn't able to get into recovery mode (getting stuck on a TeamWin screen). Reinstalling TWRP and installing ClockWork recovery didn't have any effect. I wiped my phone using .tar file found on this forums, tried reinstalling my ROM recovery many times, tried installing param file (don't even know what's that) and resetting three button combination using Benzonat0r's mod. None of these things seemed to have any impact. I'm still not able to get into recovery neither boot my phone up - Samsung logo bootloop. What am I supposed to do to unbrick my phone?
On a side note my knowledge about Android phones is tiny so please consider this. Also forgive me my poor grammar, not a native English speaker here.

Download This rom "I8190 серв. укр.rar" from here
Unpack .rar and open Odin.
Select the goldenxx.pit to [PIT]
Select CODE_I8190XXAMA2_809600_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md 5 to [PDA]
Select CSC_QXE_I8190QXEAMA1_20130109.163004_REV00_user_lo w_ship.tar.md5 to [CSC]
Put your phone in download-mode and connect it to computer.
Hit [Start] when device is detected by Odin.
You will end up with a "La'Fleur" branded phone, but no worries!
Just go to download mode again and flash a custom recovery and after that a ROM of your choice.
The three button combo will still work!!
This is not my work, give my friend @tyson a thanks for that!
I tried installing stock recovery and ROM. After completed installation I finally managed to pass Samsung screen. I got to the something like Android installation screen and my phone suddenly shut down. Now it's totally bricked, I can't turn it on nor get into the download mode. Charging progress doesn't show up while phone is plugged in neither. Any help?

Hey dude, I wish I saw your reply earlier. If my phone wasn't bricked now I'd give it a shot.
Hello,
I have a GT-N7000 which I am only able to access via download mode. Recovery mode does not work at all.
Odin 3.09 runs the following successfully:
1. Flashing a stock rom: N7000JPLSB_N7000OJPLSB_N7000XXLSO_HOME.tar.md5
2. Flashing a pit file: Q1_20110914_16GB.pit
3. Flashing a safe kernel: PhilZ-cwm6-JPLSB-UAE-4.89.4.tar.md5
These steps however have not solved the problem.
I have read that I need to flash a bootloader, but I don't know how to do that.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

On a successful kernel flash, enter into recovery mode and flash raw kernel and its corresponding rom.
Unfortunately recovery does not work at all. The phone reboots when I attempt to enter recovery.

My phone has this thing where upon pressing the buttons for recovery, it will show the Samsung Galaxy Note screen twice before entering recovery. That means pressing the buttons until it finishes showing twice, or it will just reboots normally. Did you try it?
What I tried now was flashing the stock rom again. After Odin successfully flashed the rom, it went into a boot loop that lasted approximately 20 minutes, but I just let it loop without disturbing it. Eventually it stopped and switched itself off.
I tried to enter recovery and and it rebooted a few times as you mentioned, but eventually I now see the stock Recovery screen, but the Android is on his back with the red triangle on his chest.
I then performed a factory reset.
Phone reboots, I see the Samsung logo, I hear the jingle and then the phone switches off.
Edit:
Switch phone on: See message Android is upgrading. Reaches 33 of 73 apps and phone switches off.
Switch on again: Android is upgrading 1 of 41. Completes. Switches off.
Switch on again: See setup screen. Switches off.
Switch on again: Same thing.
Recovery still broken and can't setup phone as it switches itself off.

You need the stock recovery. Flash your rom in, reboot to stock recovery, then update with the corresponding Philz for your phone. If it works you should reboot and see philz recovery and your rom is unusable. Just flash raw kernel and any other rom after that
So all the random reboots were caused by a faulty battery.
I bought a new battery, followed steps 1,2 and 3 in my original post and my phone is working perfectly again.
Hey guys as the title States I have my old d950 g flex that I ended up selling to a friend. The phone was rooted on the stock ROM, well all was good when I sold him the phone but being is a unlocked at&t phone when we got it did automatic ota updates which at that point bricked the phone. So now at this point the phone only boots to custom twrp recovery . shows the LG logo then goes straight to twrp every time. I've tried wiping the data, DAV cache, etc still to no avail to fix the boot. Now I've tried to get it into download mode so that I can flash it back to stock but the phone will not enter download mode. Every time it still goes to twrp. Is there a way to force it to Download mode so i can flash back to stock using rhe flash tool. And or even a way just to flash back to stock without the flash tool and download mode ? I've been searching and trying to get to work for days to no avail. So if you guys could help I'd greatly appreciate at the point were I'm about to just throw the phone in a fire and then have to give my friend his money so I'd really not want to do that lol so please help if you can. Thanks in advance
Update:*** So after searching the internet for days finally found out this fix for bootloop (recovery or normal bootloop) because of the phone being stuck in twrp recovery upon boot it would not let me go into download mode. I did this fix.." http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/fix-stuck-custom-recovery-trying-ota-t2907508 "and phone immediately booted as normal then was able to flash back to stock using flash tool as ive been trying to do for days now so if anyone has bootloop issues forward to this thread
[SOLVED: Just downloaded latest version of Odin from Sammobile. What a relief!]
Hey guys, this is my first post so please forgive me for any mistakes.
My Note, unlocked SM-960U1, was stuck on June 1 security patch so I decided to flash to this month's firmware:
N960U1UEU2CSH2 for XAR
This got me stuck in a boot loop, which is now causing me to panic. I tried going to download mode and flashing it again but then another issued appeared:
it got stuck on a blue screen with the android and "erasing" I used HOME_CSC This isn't even supposed to erase anything!!!
I tried going on recovery mode but It didn't show up. I went to download mode then, and chose restart. That led me to the recovery mode and I chose restart again, and it showed me this:
#Reboot Recovery Cause is [[odin]RebootRecoveryAfterOdinDL]#
Support SINGLE-SKU
Block-Based OTA
Supported API: 3
# MANUAL MODE v1.0.0#
Rebooting...
That just froze and never rebooted! NO other commands work now. I am freaking out. The phone is hot also. Please someone help out!
Update
I can go on download mode now, but if I choose reset it sends me to the boot screen and then I see a dead android for a split second, then I'm in recovery mode. I can do nothing useful in there and restarting just freezes again

you might have your terminology backwards. There isnt a button in download mode to reset the phone, there is one in recovery tho.
Anyways, if you can get to download mode, youre likely gonna be just fine. Just download a fresh copy of your firmware and flash it with Odin with your phone in download mode
Battery Drained

I know it's been a year, but I recently experienced the issue. So this is for...someone else? lol
If you had a PASS on Odin and yet you stuck on boot loop, chances are your battery is drained, and it might not successfully boot to run configuration and deletion. Connect it to a power source, it might prompt it to the boot loop but do it regardless. After like 15-30 mins, you should see the battery charging indicator. You should be good!
