Can't Boot into Recovery

T-Mobile phone 3 days old.
In the process of rooting my phone everything was going well. Phone went into recovery fine. I tried to do it again and just as recovery starts the Stock bootup takes over. If I continue to hold the volume and power buttons it just keeps vibrating over and over. When I let go the phone boots up normal.
I tried a factory reset to no avail.
The only thing I did was I installed CWM a second time. I thought I deleted them, but it still did this, so then I did the factory reset, wiping everything.
This is realy frustrating because I came from a Nexus One and will NOT own a phone with all of the garbage bloatware and T-Mobile restrictions.
Oh. One more thing when I go into Odin mode, it says I have 4 successful loads of clockworkmod. Even after the reset.

Are you letting go of the power button when you see the samsung symbal?

No. I'm holding down till recovery pops up but it never does.

That video doesn't help. The first thing he does is settings>development. There is no development section in settings. I know there is a debugging toggle in privacy, but it looks completely differenct.
I've tried everything. tried doing everything again and now it doesn't even recognize that there is a recovery on my phone. I really need some help here. If i can't root this phone I don't want it.

Sorry was trying to help. You need to get into download mode and use odin to flash stock recovery! Lots of forums about how to do that.
To put your Tmobile Galaxy s2 phone in recovery mode.
1 ) Turn your phone off. Power it off
2 ) At the same time, press and hold volume up and down and power at the same time. Your phone will come on.
3 ) Keep holding even after the vibration.
4 ) When you see the first SAMSUNG white text, let go of the buttons.

Try letting go of power when you see the Samsung logo come onto the screen. My phone wont go into recovery untilled I do either. It just Vibrates. So hold all three untilled you see the Samsung logo then only release the power button.

Galaxy S3 Won't Power On

Hi , I'm having problems with my Galaxy T999. I have rooted and have not yet installed any kernels/roms. The only thing i did was installed a couple apps from the play store . and wanted to check out the CWM recovery menu and was going to try to installed "hyperX camera mod". First thing i did was shut off the phone . Then pressed on the Volume up+Home+Power button . After doing that my phone didn't turn on or anything , no vibration or anything . I hooked it on with my computer and press the power button and it was able to connect and then disconnected. I am at lost now and can't seem to find any answer . Have looked every where not sure what to do now. Any solution will be much appreciated .
***
It seems to disconnect due to no driver found for QHUSUB_DLOAD .
Without any solutions I'll probably gonna get my phone replace . T_T

Does your phone disconnect immediately, or does it stay connected for a brief amount of time? If it stays connected briefly, try using adb during this period to boot into recovery. The command is "adb reboot recovery" (without the quotes).

Try to remove your battery then plug in charger. See if you can turn on. If you can turn it on, leave it 30 minutes. Then put in the battery.

By the looks of the result the computer gives you when you plug it in, seems it is hard bricked! Are you sure you didn't flash anything from the I9300 section like a rom?
Sent from my SGH-T999

The hyper x camera mod isnt entirely for our phone. I've read that it's flashable to our phone though, so I'm not sure what's going on here. Maybe the OP needs to link where he got the mod. Ih and stay away from the intl version all together.

Yup its a paperweight. The Intl version has the system partition in a different place. So you borked an important one.

Only thing that's throwing me off is that the OP suggests he didn't actually get around to flashing the mod.

SGS3 T999v wont start up.
My sgs3 t999v would turn off by itself every other time I hit the lock button.
like I would be txting and then if I hit the lock button it would turn off.
So I though a factory reset would fix the problem. (volume up + home).
after the reset it still kept turning off randomly.
and now I cant even get it to the normal interface. or get in to the manual reset mode.
Device was previously jail broken, however was returned back to stock and was working fine for 3 months.
I had my otterbox on for every fall my phone had, so I dont think it would be a hardware issue.
the phone was running 4.1.1 I believe.
stock rom.
help please! :C

Can you get download mode? (Volume down, HOME and power)
Even though you have a case on it, it sounds like it was probably damaged by one of the falls. Most cases as far as I'm aware mostly protect the display. The shock from impact can still damage internal components, even with a case built with this in mind.

Hey thanks for replying!
I drained the battery and got a new charge in it and managed to get it booted up
however now the problem of the lock button is still here.
like if i use it to lock my screen it just turns off on me, and it takes multiple times for me to get the phone up and running again.

you could see if you could find a widget or widgets that will basically put a button on your screen that can power off, enable lock screen, reboot recovery/download, etc.
Then just use the HOME button to turn the screen back on.
It sounds to me like a hardware problem, but if you can flash another Rom and do a full wipe/factory reset you'll know for sure.
I hope this helps. Not sure what else you can do besides getting it repaired or replaced unfortunately.
Maybe someone else will have a better idea though.

[Q] Phone constantly reboots! Touch power button = Reboot! Try install = REBOOT! HELP

So before everybody flames me, I have used the search function for the past 2 days and I have probably seen any and every single thread about this topic or anything related. I have tried it all. Nothing works. Please hear me out
Rom: CM10 by phantomphreak
Kernal: whatever came with the rom, im not sure of the name
Recovery: Agat CWM
I'll try to keep this short and simple. I rooted my phone long ago, been running cm10 for awhile and absolutely no problems. Then one day I decided to go ahead and try another rom. I dl'ed caulikin(sp?) kernal/rom. Bad mistake. I did the usual FORMAL ALL, then flashed rom. Apparently...the rom that I dled had its own recovery? Because agats CWM changed from black/green to blue/grey. So I am on the rom, and ROM MANAGER asks me to update, so I did. I have never touched this program honestly. But in the menu it asks if you want to update CWM recovery, stupid me...I did. Now to the problem:
The phone reboots constantly. I mean anything and everything I do it reboots. I can't flash a new rom from recovery, even with fresh stock wipes to factory with cwm recovery. Every time it gets to "install from sd card" or "install from interal sd card" it just reboots. I touch the power button it reboots, I send a text message and close the app to fast it reboots, I surf the net and close the window, it reboots. EVERYTHING I DO IT REBOOTS. I have tried SO many different kernals/roms/wipes and nothing seems to work! The roms and everything flash JUST fine through ODIN,and they run. But the phone still keeps rebooting and the stupid power button doesn't respond much anymore.
Please help! I am SO frustrated I have tried EVERYTHING.

I believe you can use the home button instead of power button to select in cwm, worth a try?

I had the exact same problem. Thought it was the ROM, the overclock, etc. I flashed back to (almost) stock, went back to original clock speeds. I couldn't figure out what it the world was causing the issue, until it got worse. Then, I noticed that even brushing past the power button would wake the screen, and about 10 seconds later the phone would reboot.
Long story short, I bought a replacement power switch, soldered it in place, and have had zero problems since!
Several eBay sellers offer the proper replacement switch you'll need.
(They don't include the required skills to properly desolder/solder it, however. It's a tiny switch - about 4mm x 2mm x 1.5mm, and you'll need a good quality fine-tipped soldering iron.)

Its a power button issue obviously. What I really love is that no one is telling you about mobiletechvideos. *sarcasm*
They offer a kickass service to replace the power button.

As useful as this app is, it would still be nice to fix your phone rather than just do a temporary work-around.
For less than $15 (and some soldering skill) you can replace the failed button.

I recently completed all of the steps for a one click root of my epic and attempted to boot into CWM mode for the first time and now all I get is the samsung screen. No vib, no blue light... it just sits there on the samsung screen. I've tried every button combination I can think of and nothing happens. I think i may have created a paper weight. Can anyone help?

Hold the power button and the volume up button. It'll reset, continue to hold, it'll boot into recovery.

Just a bad flash, happened to me once. Boot back into Odin (Hold power and volume down) and redo the one click process again. Make sure nothing moves the cord or try a different one.
Hope it helps.

Your phone is not seemingly bricked.
Try the button combinations mentioned above but hold for like 20 seconds.

your NOT bricked.. just soft brick.. like suggested, calm down and hold volume down and power until it reboots into download mode again.. if its stuck at samsung logo get it to turn off by a battery pull or something and start over fresh. hard brick wont have a logo it will just be a blank screen and a solid blue led and wont do anything at all

Sometimes it can be a pain in the butt to boot into recovery or download mode. Just continue holding the button combination until it enters download mode. It might reboot and go back to the Samsung splash screen. Just hold Volume Down and Power until you are in download mode. Do not release the buttons until you have successfully entered download mode.

[Q] dead phone after Jiedi Master 16 ROM flash

Hi All,
I tried to flash Jedi Master 16 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1958230 to my ATT unlocked E980 LGGP for T-Mobile. Now the phone is dead, i.e. not responding to anything. Please please help.
Rooting and installing recovering image, Optimus G Pro How to get ClockworkMod CWM and make a backup | LG Optimus Forums - Android Optimus Forums
were successful. Flashed the stock Jedi Master 16 ROM (no change to the zip) all seemed fine till the installer prompt me to reboot with successful installation message displayed. After confirming rebooting, the phone is no longer responsive. Battery is fully charged before I left it alone over night (~6hrs). Battery still had full voltage in the morning. Battery pulled/reinserted a couple times, volume down+home+power pressed many times. Phone still does not respond at all. Connected to the computer, and the computer said the device driver installation failed.
Searched everywhere and found mentioned "deep sleep" symptom. However, battery was not drained. The so called "bricked" seems to referring to looping in booting. Mine is simple not responding to anything at all with or without battery in, with or without wall charger connected, no matter what key/keys pressed.
I suspect that I should have put the right modem file into the Jedi Master 16 zip file.
Please help and thank you in advance.

I'm not even sure what to say.. Why the hell would you install a Samsung Note 2 ROM on your E980???
Can you at least get into recovery mode?
Pull battery then put back in
Hold vol-up+power+home until it passes the lg logo and goes black then release.
Are you in clockworkmod recovery?

My bad. Thought Jedi X is Note 2 specific and Jedi Master is somewhat generic.
Phone won't even boot. Screen is off, and no LED lights/sign of life anywhere with the battery trick and vol-up/down + power + home trick.
When the battery pulled and USB powered, the back and menu led flashed (white) once. Then no more sign of life no matter what key(s) + power buttons combo press.

Hold vol-up+power+home until it passes the lg logo and goes black then release.
Are you in clockworkmod recovery?

My bad. Thought Jedi X is Note 2 specific and Jedi Master is somewhat generic.
Phone won't even boot. Screen is off, and no LED lights/sign of life anywhere with the battery trick and vol-up/down + power + home trick.
When the battery pulled and USB powered, the back and menu led flashed (white) once. Then no more sign of life no matter what key(s) + power buttons combo press.

The only forum you flash roms out of is this one and it must be for the E980. Your only hope is to try and flash back to stock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660
if that works and you're back on stock then root and after that you have to use FreeGee to install a loki recovery..i suggest the cwm one. just make sure to select unlock security etc
good luck

I understand what I should do after the phone boots up. Thank a lot for the resources.
However, I am stuck with how to make the phone boot. Is there a hardware reset button?
Methods tried so far:
1. Pull and reinsert battery, then press power button.
2. Pull and reinsert battery, then press (vol-up/down) + (camera shutter) + (home) + (power button).
3. Left the phone alone for 6hr (no USB charging). Battery is at full voltage (4.12v). Then following step 1 or 2.

Dude you need to simply do this. Pull battery, put battery back in, hook to computer and while plugging in the cable to your phone, hold volume up and down. If you see the 'download mode' box in the middle of the screen, YOURE SAVED, IF NOT THEN YOURE ****ED!
Never flash anything unless you know what you're doing. I seriously advise you to do a serious amount of reading before ampting any flashing if anything!

Points are well taken! I was in a rush which I definitely did not have to.
Tried the vol-up+down combo tip. No response. I guess I need to resort to some JTAG repair.
Thanks a lot.

I dont think there is such thing as a Jtag repair for this phone, if there is no one knows yet.
Also if your going to be flashing just any kind of rom you might like I dont think you should flash anymore roms lol.

Wow, u do know that the note 2 is not the same as lg og pro?

It's volume down and power button, hold it simultaneously for about 10-15 seconds.

Methinks the former. The OP took a "parts is parts" approach to Android and made an expensive mistake.

Unbricked
My phone is finally unbricked using JTAG thanks to this man!

Everything is bright and shine except the partition table is screwed up where all apps (like camera app) see there is no space in the internal sd card. Waiting on the external micro sd card to arrive. Hopefully that will make the phone usable (beyond just browsing and installing apps).
In this stage, I can't even root it since the rooter can't write onto the internal memory space. And Android Partition Manager Pro, who requires the phone to be rooted at first, won't help either.
Does any one know how to repartition without rooting? Thanks a lot.

This whole thread.....so painful. Some people should not be allowed to have a smartphone...keyword smart
