[Q] Is my phone bricked?

So I wasn't paying a lot of attention while I was flashing to Cyanogen ROM and accidentally hit the update.zip (google apps) before installing Cyogen Mod. I looked up and then looked down then the phone vibrated and it was rebooting.
When the phone loads it attempts to get into a setup mode which just spams a force-close for process.gaps and com.android.setupwizard.
When I hit volume down + power and go into recovery it just gives me the android logo and an exclamation point. I've tried doing clear storage and that doesn't fix the problem. I was consistently getting the Exclamation point in the recovery image from ROM Manager, but going in and flashing to the alternate and back fixed it. I just can't get into the vanilla android OS right now.
Anyone have any ideas on what I could do to get out of this loop?

PASSIMG.zip
You can try the passimg method-
1. download a stock image and rename it PASSIMG.zip
2. Place the file on the root of your sd
3. Power off your phone, then turn it on by holding VolDown and pressing Power
*It will start up in HBOOT mode and will prompt you to flash the PASSIMG.zip update

Install a custom recovery first (Amon_ra being my preferred recovery) . Then flash what you want.

This worked. Thanks for the tips! Without this forum people like me, who know only enough to be dangerous, would be totally screwed.

Stuck at Recovery Screen

Was Recovering a Rom backup from Rom Manager and It is stuck at the android system recovery screen and won't let me select any options using the power button. I can go up and down using the volume buttons.

You can always go back to stock, re-root, install CWM, and try restoring again if you are still having trouble. Use Odin:

Ok, I also rooted and installed eSPyel's Paragon ROM and everything is great. However, when I go into CWM and boot into recovery, I get the same issue--it goes to the Samsung Recover <e3> screen (with purple text) and tries installing something but states it failed. I then can move up and down the menus with the Vol Up/Vol Dn buttons but pressing power does nothing. If I remove and then reinsert the battery, it takes me to CWM recovery screen where I can install new ROMs, etc. It goes this every time I try to boot into recovery. Does anyone know a fix or do I just need to Odin back to stock and try again?

[Q] Flash Custom ROM with Odin?

Hi,
How could i flash Custom ROM with Odin..
Because
1. I am not able to go into recovery mode by holding Volume up+Volume Down+Power Buttons
2. I could not reboot into recovery mode using adb commands (stuck at at&t screen)
3. I could not reboot into recovery by flashing any kernel with CWM.. obviously i have to use volume up+Volume Down+Power Buttons again :-(
I am able to flash stock ROM through ODIN 1 click downloader (currently on I897UCKI2)..and its the only way i could flash a ROM now..
So is there a way to install custom rom through ODIN ?
Please help...

If you can get into download mode (power off, hold V+/V-, insert USB), you can try flashing a ROM via Heimdall. Apex 12.5 has a package you can flash from Heimdall.
You can also try Mosaic 9, as that has an Odin-based installer package.

Hey,
I'm using samsung galaxy star s5282. I rooted this phone 2 days ago. Everything went good until today when i was i my class it suddenly switched off. When i rebooted it, it hang on the samsung logo.
I tried to boot into cwm recovery mode by pressing v+, home, power but it boots into default system recovery mode.
I again flashed cwm recovery many times using odin but it dosent work. Odin shows pass but when i reboot my phone in cwm recovery mode my phone enters in default system recovery mode.
What should i do please please please help.....

Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
applies to all recoveries
cheers

Surenda 1863,
I had exactly the same problem and it took me almost one week of fiiddling and searching the Web to solve it.
The solution was in front me since day ONE : install ODIN on the PC !
In my case, I had I had accidentally wiped out the stock ROM and the tablet was hopelessly frozen on the download mode. I couldn't turn it off to boot it back with any of the usual buttons ( Volume , Home, Power)
I made the wrong assumption that since my PC didn't see the tablet, it couldn't connect to Odin either . I was wrong!
Here is what you have to do:
1. Install Odin on your PC. Connect the tablet to it. You will see that Odin sees the tablet because there will be a caption saying "added" on the top left.
2. Press the AP tab button at the right to go to the location where your Stock ROM is. The stock ROM file will have an MD5 ending.
3 Once the file is loaded (next to the AP button) just press Start. You will see the DOWNLOAD bar gradually filling up on the tablet and at the top left of ODIN.
4. When the operation is terminated, you will see a caption " PASSED" at the top left of he Odin screen and the tablet will automatically boot up to the HOME screen.
As simple as this! I didn't even have to worry about flashing the TWRP ( or CWR) recovery system, probably because the OS ROM was already wiped out. May be your case is different. I only know that in my case it worked like a charm.

phone is bricked help please

i was planning on flashing a custom rom on my galaxy s6 today but at work i watched a video on how to get twrp recovery, so i downloaded it on to my phone, followed every direction and step using flashify then when i installed twrp and rebooted my phone it got stuck at the boot load screen, i cant even go to recovery mode nor download mode, everytime i hold the power button and volume rockers it just cuts off and boots back to boot loop cuts off boot loop and so on, idk what to do can someone please help

Slow down, take your time. This is not a permi-brick. Just go back, start at step 1, and try again. There is hope. There must be a way to get into recovery.

I'm having the same exact issue, I'm able to get into download mode by holding volume up, home and power buttons. I'm downloading the stock firmware now and I'm going to try to flash it with odin to see if it works.

If you two can't get into download mode for whatever reason get odin to the point it says waiting for phone or connection or whatever it says then let it boot loop a couple times with the phone plugged in (preferably start from a powered off state). This might just have been lg but for some reason I remember odin rebooting my phone into download mode if the program was at that point.
*edit*
I feel like I wasn't clear enough. You want the tar ball loaded and hit start before you plug the phone in. I could be way off but it's worth a try.

Stuck in twrp logo note 9

Hello,
I have flashed twrp over Odin and it works well, flashed custom room too, everything was super fine but after i restart the phone
Got stuck in twrp logo
Can't go to download mode or boot to system either.
Tried to hard restart power + vol - then after restart press power vol - bixby but same issue.
Download mode won't launch neither recovery.
Picture of the problem in the attachment
Please any solution?

first you flashed the wrong version of twrp according to your attachment, in my opinion you have to reflash everything and you can follow this tutorial and I hope it helps you

Sorry but i don't think it'll boot first time or even i could flash custom rom from it if the recovery wasn't compatible.
After the twrp everything was fine, and i got access to twrp recovery and flash custom room without any problems.
First bot was fine, but after 2 consecutive restarts
This issue occurred .
And can't make it to download mode now, so I can't flash stock or anything.

I mean the correct version to flash android 13 it is twrp v 3 7 0 9 0 if not the phone hangs at twrp logo.
now to put back on download mode you have to do this manipulation
1/ connect your phone to your pc with the USB cable then press bixbi and power (between 5 and 7 seconds) and when the phone goes black at this moment don't let go of bixbi and power you have to press the volume button -
I hope it will go.
