[HELP] Softbricked my SGH-t989d (Koodo) - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hey guys! Talking about luck ain't my thing..
I installed the last update of ErickWill's JB.. Said it was mandatory to have a touch recovery, so I installed the sk8er's last version of recovery as well!
BUT, last version of sk8er's recovery's gone wrong, and everytime I want to boot in Recovery, it says "Charging.." and nothing else.
As you prolly figured out, the install of ErickWill didn't succeed either..... I don't know for what reason xD...
Now I have a bootloop on ErickWill's boot animation, and no working recovery........... Tried to detect phone via Odin. Nothing that way either.
Any genius out there who could help me out with that?!
Thanks guys!!
Alex

Got it! Closed.. Thanks guys for the PM!
Only had to go into Download Mode
CLOSED! ^_^

[Q] *FIXED* Got stuck in a bootloop, would appreciate some help

Hello, so I am stuck in a bootloop. I S-Off'd with an XTC Clip. Then I put the PG32IMG.zip and ran that in HBOOT (-0.96.2000). Then I installed rmk_root_seutp-vivow.zip. I also installed su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip. Everytime I would reboot I'd get stuck at the white HTC screen. So I figured if I installed another ROM in CWM Recovery it would fix it. So I installed MIUI 1.8.5. No luck, still stuck in Bootloop. Clockworkmod recovery (v4.0.0.5) works fine. Please advise.

EDIT: Did a factory reset on the phone and reinstalled MIUI. I'm up and running! Sorry for spamming up the forums, thought it was a lot worse off than it really was. I only posted after I was convinced I had screwed something up really bad. Thanks! And sorry for this post.

[SOLVED] Can't enter recovery & Phone keeps showing bootanimation

Hi all,
I did some things with my phone this afternoon, but now when I try to boot it into recovery mode, it just boots into android.
The problem is, it won't boot into android either. It keeps showing the boot animation..
The recovery I use(d): CWM 5 by MoltenMotherboard
The ROM I use(d): Maclaw AOSP ICS Final 2
What do I have to do? I can still enter downloadmode so it's not hardbricked or something, but I have no idea what to do now.
Can I just flash the stock firmware with Odin?
The recovery I use is ext4 only, so that'd mean that when I'm back at the stock rom I can't use the recovery, right?
Update: At the moment I'm trying to flash this rfs+ext4 recovery via Odin, but it's already at 10 minutes and still no "Finish" message or something.. :/
Update 2: Flashed the stock rom via Odin, but now after it shows the blue glowing Samsung logo, it reboots and does it all over again.. It won't go into recovery either.. Please, can anyone help me!?
Update 3: Finally, after a pretty long time I finally got my phone working again.. I was so stupid to use the wrong combination to open the recovery (I used the CWM combination..) Thanks for "all your help" XD
LOL We were giving yo time to figure this out on your own. Good thing you followed your intuitions

[Q] Htc wildfire rooting issue

Ok so guys i had just rooted my htc wildfire s (or atleast thought i rooted it ) and was trying to install a cyanogen mod ROM , it would not install ,if it would install it would be stuck at the htc logo screen , now i thought this would be the fault of recovery so i decided to install another recovery and flash that with cmd (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) but then when i booted in recovery it would show me the pink recovery, i got a little scared and flashed another recovery and now the recovery will not even boot . it will just go on htc logo and black screen , i tried many different recoveries but no avail , it is in s-on right now , please forgive me if this sounds noobish i really am a noob at this .please provide me with a solution and tell me if it is bricked and if i can repair it by taking it to a software shop and asking them to do it for me (Just advise me if i can come back from this)
Flash the first recovery, which actually worked, and if it installs, wipe everything and flash a basic CM7 rom. It'll work. It's just soft bricked don't worry.

actually i gave it to a software store , he said he couldn't do it as the files were not to be found ... i think it might have been bricked but seeing as i can access h-boot only and when i turn on the phone it only stays on the htc logo screen and does not proceed can you call this bricked . ? i tried the first recovery as you mentioned but it was no use ... i tried relocking and unlocking bootloader again but it seems as if that was unnecessary as nothing different happened .. im still waiting for an answer
This is really very weird.

Start from square one, unlock the bootloader, flash the recovery, if one doesn't install, try another, at least one will surely work, and then flash a new rom.
All the best.
Remember, android can never be bricked, there is always a way out.

[Q] Help please! I think i bricked my S3!

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

Cant Get Back to TWRP After Bad Flash

I flashed the latest version of Xenon HD 11-26 for my D852 and it gave me an error on reboot from TWRP saying that root wasnt there anymore and to reapply root, I said yes and reboot and now I cant get back into TWRP at all.
Im not sure if Im doing the back buttons right, but Im kinda starting to panic and Im not sure what to do since the phone wont boot to an OS now for me to try and use the software to reboot back into recovery.
Any sort of guidance would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I finally got Recovery to go back up, so, Im trying to reflash now.
Sorry for making a panic thread, guys.
