Hi All - while in the process upgrading from the previous version of MIUI to this latest one, I accidentally selected the 'restart system option after formatting the system, cache and data without flushing the new ROM and now the phone won't boot up. It goes to the main Galaxy S screen followed by Galaxy S Glitch screen then it runs some coding (in seconds so i don't know what is says) and then back to main Galaxy screen in a loop.
What I have tried
> Going to recovery mode with vol up + home + power button (released @ first Samsung Screen) but then it goes back to second Galaxy S Glitch screen in the same loop.
> Going to download mode with vol down + home + power button and it does the same as going into recovery mode.
> Tried to do go into recovery and download mode multiple times using different combinations of vol up, vol down, home and power button without success.
> Read through the threads here but I was not able to find anything with the same or similar problem problem
> I tried to follow the help provided by Thyrador on this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109110 with Odin except using the jig method and no go
> Connecting phone to ODIN keeps on going rebooting in the phone in a loop as well.
I know if I can go into recovery mode I will be able to flush the new ROM but getting there is the problem.
I would appreciate your help with this and hope there is a fixable solution.

I have done that a few times and both CWM and download mode should be there.
Make sure everytime you try the 3 buttons you actually remove the battery before trying.
K.
Edit: the coding you are talking about is CWM trying something and that's shy I think it is still there.
Did you just format system?

Thanks for your response
I actually formatted the system, data and cache without flushing the new ROM.
I tried what you said about removing the battery but that didn't show anything on the screen when I tried the 3 buttons. Is that what you meant?
cheers

What I meant was a bit dumb as since you have a bootoop you would have removed the battery anyway each time to try.
I normally flash the same way like you and I always do a factory reset (which formats Data and cache and I do the system manually. Unless soemthing has gone seriously wrong I don't see why you would not be able to get back to recovery?
I have even done it today actually and managed to go back to recovery.
I would say try and boot into download mode. Did you use Download Mode in the past? Are you sure it is there?
I read somewhere else someone saying that it does not always work the first time. Give it a few tries.
Your last option would be the JIG obviously but hopefully you should be able to get it sorted without.
K.
To tell you the truth I always use an app to boot the phone into recovery or download mode however one of my work colleagues has always being able to reboot my phone into any of these modes using the three buttons - not sure how. I will continue to try anyway.
Thanks again for your response and for give me hope that this has happened to you in the past.

Hi All,
I am in a mess My GTI9001 got freezed so i pulled put battery and restarted it. After that, It's just rebooting with samsung jingle and stopped at samsung logo ( repeating again and again).
I have tried every hard reset mode. ( vol key + power, vol key down + power etc etc ). I can see only two prompts on screen.."first with green android sign and saying downloading targeting, do not turn off "or " ram dump mode cause force upload"
Tried various ways but only these things happening.
Need help mates as no idea whatsoever. No tweaking done with mobile yet,I am very much a lame when it comes to root or flashing.
Expecting expert advices.
Cheers!!

RAM DUMP & Download Mode is else, you don't need them now (yet). Try to boot to recovery (vol up+power) and try to wipe cache & dalvik cache, and then try to boot the phone

you tried ramdump mode and download mode, to get in recovery you have to use volume up + power, without home button. try to get in recovery and factory reset
EDIT: you have to keep pressed the combo i said for a couple of second after the samsung logo apper, then you will se an android out of a box, it is time to touch menu key once, you will see screen change brightness, if so you are getting in recovery mode
Hi,
I had this problem a few weeks ago, and the only thing that helped was flashing stock rom with odin. After that everything works fine.
Greets,
Pat
Ok, so there are a lot of threads about soft bricks and bootloops, I have answered in a lot of threads but it seems it needs separate thread to explain how to "revive" your phone from bootloops and soft bricks.
First of all, I don't guarantee that it will work but mostly this tricks do their job.
Tricks were tested and worked on many phones, but I don't take responsibility for hard bricked phones after performing tricks from this thread.
Sometimes you need to repeat process because everything must be done with perfect timing. Also if one method won't work try another.
1. Prepare your phone to press recovery combination and while plugging phone to USB or charger, hold keys and release when samsung logo appear. Do Factory reset in recovery
2. (the best) turn on phone into download mode and don't accept terms, when phone will reboot quick hold recovery combination and release when samsung logo appear. Do Factory reset in recovery
(3). Emergency download mode (when phone wib but don't turn on screen) - take off battery for few minutes, after that time hold download combination and insert battery, wait few seconds (so normally it would boot and enter dm), accept terms by pressing volume down, connect USB and flash stock Rom
4. usefull tip - Always have backup created in CWM on phone, you never know when it will be needed. What I do is creating backup every week/two weeks, also I have stock backup. I really recomend to create backup before flashing CM while you are on stock (it will guarantee everything will 100% work if something fails), it helped me a lot of times.
(recovery combination - volume up, volume down, power, home)
(download mode - volume down, home, power / accept terms volume down, decline - volume up)
In 1 and 2 "just in case" you can flash stock Rom, when it will start to reboot after Odin finish flashing, take off battery and insert again (to stop boot process) phone should boot into recovery normally but repeat point 2 to be sure.
Also, what is importiant, ALWAYS have turned on debug mode in your usb settings, first thing you should do after flashing CM, turn on debug mode.
===================================================================================================================================================
When you are switching from CM to stock, after flashing stock you will have almost 100% chance that you will have bootloop on samsung logo. You have to factory reset before first boot. So, after flashing stock, when odin will proceed reboot your phone, unplug phone and take off battery (take off battery cover before flashing, but be careful not to drop battery while flashing via odin, it would be really really bad for your phone, hold phone and battery all the time). After inserting battery back and assemble cover, go to recovery and do factory reset.

Thank you for this ! The decline download mode agrements , press recovery combination trick worked , I managed to get to recovery ! I flashed stock rom 3 times and tried repartition with pit ...but this is the only thing that worked ! Thank you
Now I have a Idea about a Un-brick:
1. If you want to return (after a Forget a clean data/cache/dalvik) When You can downgrade with .md5 Stock ROM (or Custom)
2. If Recovery Doesn't works... You can only Download Mode (Volume Down + Home + Power) - Remember it's that's not with SIM/SD Card [Maybe that's optional if it forget but I will be recommend.]
3. Flash to Newest "ClockWorldMod"
4. After Restart - That's must be take off battery and Connect USB Cable to SGMII
5. Let's Turn On Recovery Mode with a "Samsung Logo" Before Input Battery [With a Battery it's doesn't does it Start,on Fortunately...]
6. And... Let's to clean data/cache/dalvik... And that's All of "Open source Unbrick"
What Did a get:
+ Downgrade ROM without a Additonal Box (Because that's Open source with a Easy-Root and Not Close-Source as a Self of Old Sony Ericsson Tuning - But I Like a Old Sony Ericsson's Too ... And "Sony" looks from a 2007 about a Modifications and Sony is not a blocked for Android - Fortunately... And for a Today Some users remembers about a Big Seasons Tunings from K310i or K550i [I had a Two phones... That's nice what I discovered about a ROM's Modifications... And Let's praise for Sony that's Not blocked for Androids... Thank you,Sony. ]
+ That's can be again to Upgrade eg. Cyanogenmod
And... A knowledge... Hope that's share a help.

Hi OP, you might want to add this to your thread..
so, early this week, i faced a bad bootloop situation after the software update.. Even with a normal boot (no vol+,home button and power button pressing), my phone will still be stucked at CWM recovery..
Note that my phone was working fine, only the software update caused my phone to stuck in the CWM bootloop..
So, what i did was, i updated my CWM 4.0.8.2 [ my bad, cause when i rooting my phone initially last few weeks, and i've been reading outdated threads].. So, i updated my CWM 4.0.8.2 to CWM 6.x through CWM recovery..
Then, after it rebooted, i go to download mode, connect my phone through ODIN and flashed stock rom.
Now, it is working fine like new..
Hello,
I had Installed Cyanogenmod 10.2 by TheWhisp 2 Months ago and since Thursday it restarted randomly sometimes. I saw that there is Cyanogenmod 11 so I thought that it would be a good Idea to just replace it. So I flashed via Odin the Stock ROM yesterday and today I wanted to Install CM 11 after it was in this boot animation for about 20 minutes I removed the battery and turned it on again and it was stuck in the screen where it says "Samsung Galaxy..." and at the bottom "cyanogenmod" and I tried to go into recovery but it did nothing. After that I flashed the Stock ROM via Odin and it was also stuck in the boot animation and I still can't go into recovery. But I can charge my battery. I tried to remove the battery for about 5 minutes and after I came back to it I accidentally pluged it into my computer before inserting the battery and surprisingly the screen turned on and the RAMDUMP MODE (ARM9) appeared (I don't know what that is). But I still cannot go into recovery to install another ROM, in this case CM 11.
Does someone know a solution how I can repair it and Install CM 11? And what is this RAMDUMP MODE (ARM9)?
P. S.: I'm not a English person so excuse me for the language mistakes

Go to download mode , decline terms ( vol- ) and then quickly press vol+ & vol- & home at the same time , that should get you to recovery mode , wipe data/factory reset and the bootloop will be gone and everything will be back to "normal" !

That didn't work it started the RAMDUMP MODE (ARM9) btw. is that normal, that everytime when I press the vol. down button an a dot appears (in the RAMDUMP MODE)? I think it's already on when I press all buttons (if it's off) because I have to remove the battery to start into another mode.
Yes , it's normal , I had this problem multiple times , this "trick" always worked , try it several times , pressing only Vol- & Vol+ & Home without the power button and keeping them pressed until samsung logo appears after declining/disagreeing with the terms of download mode.

Does your phone boots on recovery?
If yes, try to flash a custom rom.
If you don't want custom rom search for your country's stock rom and use odin to flash it.

i try flash the new recovery, but when i get into download mode its just only 10 second after that its restart.. i cant do anything anymore
Try just keep holding the keys to get into recovery for several loops, eventually it should go into recovery and then start getting stock rom flashed. If this doesn't work, try j-tagging (only last resort tho)
Current phone: rooted Samsung galaxy mini 2

I use CM10.1 improved 07 / 07 build and CWM v5 , probably due to a weak battery and phone suddenly turn off and turn on again but what happens after that is constantly vibrating , black screen and the phone fails to boot . First I tried to remove the battery and put it back the phone turns on its own without pressing the power button , then just like the above , continuous vibration ...
I tried other things , removing all installed on the phone and silence for 1 day . Replacing the battery , try to enter download mode , recovery , could but after a few seconds that happens is the same.
One thing , when I try to press the power button continuously , the mobile phone can boot successfully , and I try to enter download mode and flash a stock rom by pressing the power button continuously until the process is completed but did not help .
My conclusion is that the power button problem , or it may damage the IC associated with it . Any suggestions ? please enlightenment , gan .. thanks
SOLUTION
I have the same bug. And I mean that when I try to enter in the recovery mode, nothing happens.
If you have the same error , please continue reading this , if not, do everything else.
To force the phone to boot into recovery, you should be able to enter , first, in the download mode.
Please flash before , clockworkmod recovery. (I recomend 6.0.3.3)
Before you have flashed cwm, go to download mode again.
At the first screen, you will see an warning message. Now is the time to press some keys... see bellow (TIP: please do not skip the message with the volume up key ! )
Press the home button + volume down + volume up (home+down+up)
Note: You need to press the up+down , and hold it at the same time with the phone vibration.
Release the keys on the samsung logo screen. If you see under the ,,samsung galaxy mini 2,, an logo with clockworkmod. The problem is solved.
If you see the RAMDUMP mode, instead the recovery, go there to see my solution > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2707219
IMPORTANT! > If you still see an black screen , instead samsung logo, please repeat all steps. It worked for me 100% after some long time.
