Hey guys. Just got my captivate about a week ago. Big switch from a moto backflip lol. I rooted and installed Mosaic III on it, but now I want Phoenix Ultimate. However, I can't get the phone into recovery mode to install it. The phone works completely fine, I just can't get it into recovery mode. Not even through Clockwork. I even tried resetting it to see if anything was screwy. Any insight on this?
Sorry if this is a noob question. I am a noob and therefore must ask noob questions. I searched, but couldn't find a similar thread.

I know there are other threads regarding this but I have a couple of different issues pertaining to it.
First of all I've been keeping up with nightlies for a while with cyanogenmod. I skipped them for about a month and updated to a new one two nights ago. It wasn't the best and i flashed back to an earlier version so that my gmail would work again. The bad news is that it is now in a boot loop. I have tried to boot it into recover to no avail. Now I have it stuck in ODIN MODE and I'm to scared to touch it any further.
I've used ODIN before but now I use a Macbook, so that makes things a little more difficult.
Any help would be awesome, I know there is a way to pull this back from the depths but after two and a half hours of searching has just left me scratching my head, and I know you guys are all pros at this.
I apologize if I put this in the wrong thread. I have been a frequent visitor of this site but have never had to post anything, hopefully I didn't mess anything up.
Thanks for the help in advance, I really appreciate it.
you have no choice but to use odin and flash back to stock FM. If you get boot look again, boot into stock recovery and clear cache and factory reset. You should be fine, i,m not sure how stable mac odin is but on windows it worked every time to kick me out of boot loop
Hey guys, basically, i'm new-ish to flashing, but i was able to do it following all instructions. Yesterday i installed an s5 theme from this site that caused my phone to have problems such as the wifi not working. I was reading that flashing a custom kernel might help, it didn't.
So i woke up, entered my TWRP custom recovery and stupidly factory wiped everything, now my phone wont get past the 'Samsung galaxy s III' screen, it just stays there. I have no idea what to do, i'm dumb enough not to make a recovery file before i started all this so i've ****ed up there.
If anyone can help me get my phone back i'll be extremely happy, i just want it working again! I have work in a few hours and really hope to fix it before then! Any help is appreciated.
well i posted this for someone else who wiped their phone, maybe it would help you. OR i got it all wrong. lol (i know, not so funny).
can you take your ext.sd card , put in different phone, download a ROM and whatever else you need. then place ext.sd card back in your phone and flash away? IDK, might work.
good luck.
err on the side of kindness
What mrrocketdog said, and you can flash a ROM with S5 theme already built in.. If you just want it back to stock, flash newest firmware for your device with Odin
hey,
I rooted my lg v500 and tried to put TWRP on there over many different ways and nothing worked and i googled for about 2 hours but couldn't find anything. Than i decided to factory reset it, but now the message appears that there is no boot verification or something and i can't do anything. I'm really desperate now since i don't know what to do. If anyone had the same problem i would reall like to hear of it. I even tried to go into the recovery mode but the same problem pops up and i can't do anything against it. Please Help!
MIght be minor for you but huge for me. I dont consider myself a noob, probably the step above, but Im in a little situation. So a coworker of mines is into rooting and roms like myself. He had a sm-n910p which was only rooted running stock rom. One day while changing batteries (which one was stock and the other from anker) it just went into a bootloop. When the phone powers on it says
RECOVERY BOOTING . . . .
Samsung
GALAXY NOTE 4
Powered by android
then shuts off and starts the bootloop. When I installed CWM or TWRP it goes away but I can never really enter into recovery mode with either stock or custom recovery, and also i notice in download mode with TWRP or CWM installed it say COULD NOT LOAD NORMAL BOOT or something like that in red above ODIN MODE. I have installed all the firmwares i could find like the ANIE, BOB, and COG ones which passes on odin but just continues bootloop. I've even thought about if it has something to do with partitions and do i need pit files or something. But im done looking everywhere for answers so im just trying to get my questions answered. Your two cents on the situation would be much appreciated THANKS GUYS!!!

PM me... Don't want to say what I will say out in the open. You'll be good to go after... Noob.

I recently had a problem with my android tablet. I rooted my Galaxy Tab T110 like last year and it was all perfect. I got Super User and ROM toolbox. It worked flawlessly, until last weekend when I did a factory reset cuz I was gonna sell it. But to my surprise when it rebooted it opened up the CWM recovery menu and it won't load the system anymore. It's just stuck there, it won't turn off or do anything for that matter.
I want to know what could have gone wrong and if there is a way to fix it. I tried to re-root it with Odin following the instructions I used from this site, but no luck. Can any one help me?
Thank you so very much!
