your phone need to be turned off in order to enter download mode.
if I misunderstood you situation and you tried with your phone turned off, can you enter recovery mode?
did you install clockwork mod recovery after rooting your phone?

I have a rogers aswell, hold volume up plus power plus home. Then you can plug your cord in, put whatever in Odin then make sure stuff like f reset and what you need are checked off or not checked off then click start.
If it doesn't work, getting into download mode you did something wrong before, I was able to do it after, so should you

It's VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER to get to download mode (while your phone is off)

Yeah down^
Mybad, up puts you in recovery.

Go in recovery and restore your phone to whenever your phone worked and don't reflash the last thing you flashed. Probably a bad kernel.
If you did not make a backup. Boot in download mode and use Odin to flash a stock rom you may also need to flash a stock kernel depending of what ROM you flash.

[Q] Phone stuck on Samsung boot after stock restore help?

Hey my samsung galaxy s3 was bricked when I tried installing a kernal for a jb rom and I restored it to stock in odin.
Right now its just stuck on the Samsung Boot logo and the blue led is shown but it wont boot up. What do i do?
Reflash. By chance, can you get into recovery?

No, not at all. When i hold volume up + power + home it vibrates twice and turns off and does the same thing when I hold it which makes it turn on. I can get to download mode though

It's lg1 then just accept the ota after you do it to get to lh9.
Sounds like you just flashed a bad ota.

Ok i have an AT&T galaxy s3 so i just download the Calg1 and then download a Bell image and follow the instructions?

Ok so ive finished the installation of the CALH1 on odin but my phone is still on the boot logo. What do i do now?
Not lh1 here:
Flash this in odin: http://d-h.st/u2B <<< AT&T lg1
Thats the image i used to get back to stock with root. After that flashes the system will boot and say there is an update if you want the latest os then install rootkeeper from play store and run it that will preserve root. Once you run rootkeeper accept the update and that will get you to lh9 the latest os.

No, not yet i cant really get into clockwork recovery at all if you read my post above. I got into this whole mess by flashing a kernal on a jb rom whe i was rooted and i probably shouldnt have because it bricked my phone. But ive done almost everthing above and now im willing to do anything to get my phone back up and running. Will flashing the kernal for it fix it?
Yes, if you can find a way to enter download mode flash a stock rooted kernel and a stock ROM. You may need a jig to enter download mode

I can enter download mode without a problem all i need is the kernal you said which would possibly fix my phone.
The lg1 update i gave you has the boot.img (kernel) with it. It is everything, boot.img, system, modem, etc. Sounds bad but are you sure you are using odin correctly ?

Yes I think so, i run odin with administator tick auto reboot and F. Reset time click PDA and located the root69.stock_ATT_I747UCALG1.tar (the old boot img you gave me) and connect my phone while it is in downloading mode and press start. Is that right?

Can you even do that on a bricked phone? Is there a program I can do it through? I can't load my clockwork recovery at all.
Did you try the toolkit?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Hope this helps. I had a similar issue once where the phone gets stuck at the Samsung logo. What I did was booted into stock recovery and did a wipe cache and wipe data. The phone booted up successfully after that.
U can also flash CMW through ODIN and do all the wipes (dalvik,cache and data) and I'm pretty sure ur phone will boot up.

Bricked Phone??? Please help!!!

Hey guys,
I just got my S3 and installed AOKP no problem. Then as part of my purchased apps, I downloaded and installed Franco Kernel installer. I had not flashed the kernel previously but tried to autoflash using the application. It flashed and now the phone won't boot. If I take out the battery and turn it on, the Samsung logo flashes and then turns off.
Please help!!!
I am JellyBean Build 4 of AOKP
Also, if I remove the battery and plug the phone into the computer, a battery with a recycle type arrow shows up ...
On app description its for the international version. Never flash anything unless you get it here or are directed to it from here. And always be sure its for our T999.
If you're getting any response there may be hope for it. Try to boot into download mode. Hold power + volume down + home. Then when prompted press volume up.
Now plug into computer and use Odin to flash the full stock FW. And pray it works!
If you can't get download mode or recovery you may need repair...

Okay, into download mode and it is downloading. Do I wait or use Odin through the toolkit? And if I use the toolkit, how do I turn on USB debugging without being able to get into the phone settings?
Odin to stock Rom and start over. No weird kernels this time.

Keep holding the volume and home button but let go of the power button

You can get into recovery. Watch this video. At 3-4 minutes in it shows you how to hold and release the buttons. Ignore the rest

Then go into download mod and flash .tar stock rooted rom via odin.
Is that an option in the ToolKit? I'm not seeing it ...
Download aokp on your computer and put it on your external sd card. Put the external sd card back into the phone. Go into recovery and flash it

I'll have to do that tomorrow ... no microSD card in my possession but that would work. Thanks for the suggestion.
Is there anything I can do tonight to fix it?
You can do the Odin to stock method. If you want to keep root, download the root66 version from MrRobinsons thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687
Instructions for Odin should be there as well.
I would recommend doing this first anyways. When you tried the international kernel it likely flashed to the wrong partition. This is probably your best bet for getting everything back onto correct partitions. (If it flashed the sbl partition, flashing a rom in recovery won't fix it, odin should).
Basically you download the FW to your computer, (odin too) and after booting to download mode, start Odin then connect to computer. You should see it show a Com port in top left area. Then click on pda and browse to the FW you downloaded (you may have to unzip it, should be a .tar or .tar.md5 file).
Make sure PDA is checked as well as auto reboot and F.reset time. Then start flash.
Use the instructions in MrRobinsons thread in case I forgot something. I just wanted to give you a quick rundown.

No recovery. Cwm

Hi, new to Samsung but not rooting flashing etc.
Owned flashed on HTC onex/ desire. Xperias etc.
I rooted and flashed using the tool kit. Made first cwm back up using tool kit.
I can see cwm files on sdcard but cannot open them. Try to get into recovery with keys. Get reboot the weird screen flickering up in lines but no recovery. Turns of or reboots. Same if I try to flash recovery img. From apps. Rom toolbox. Rom manager etc.
I have a new rom on phone to flash. Alliance I think. AM I right in thinking that it flashes a new recovery with it twrp?. Problem is I don't ever flash without nand back up. Any help appreciated. P's I don't have external sd to put recovery on do I need one

just brought mobile odin.
try to flash recovery. freezes almost straight away then powers off.
Mobile Odin is useful to have anyway. I had a similar problem when trying to flash CWM and decided to go with TWRP instead as I was looking to flash Alliance, like yourself. It works but sometimes fails to respond to the Vol Up + Home + Power button combination and you have to release the buttons momentarily 5 or 10 seconds after booting and then press that combination again. You could try that trick with CWM too.
Download latest twrp in tar format.
Flash via pc odin and phone in download mode.

[Q] Bricked note 2 sgh-i317

Okay so i bought a samsung Galaxy note 2 on craigslist(not a good idea) and what the seller told me is that it was unlocked. well i got the phone and put my Tmobile sim card and it worked. i tried to do a system update which i kept getting a reminder for and my phone is now stuck on the opening samsung galaxy note 2 sign. well i took it to the cell phone repair places we have around here and none of them could fix it. apparently the guy rooted the phone to unlock it but the phone doesnt have a custom recovery. it can boot to download mode but thats about it. if anyone knows how to fix this i would greatly appreciate your help.
Not bricked. ..
Boot to recovery using the 3 button combination and factory reset the phone. ..then reboot. .
If the device sticks on the splash screen again. ..you'll need to push a new image via Odin. .
But the phone is far from bricked. ..it's just mad...g

Is the phone stolen? Might have been SIM locked.
I would try flashing a stock ROM onto it via Odin. If that fails you probably bought a HOT phone. Or it has hardware damage.

It was unlocked when I got it... it had a custom rom on it and when I tried to do the update it made the phone do what's it doing now.. so what option am I left with? I already tried stock rom and nothing :/
Sent from my LG-P659 using xda app-developers app
So you have flashed a custom recovery? I can see that you said it did not have a custom recovery on it (but had a custom ROM?). If you haven't flashed the recovery and have not followed the flash to stock instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275844), then do so (be as specific as possible on the steps you've taken since it seems you might be a beginner at this by trying to update OTA a rooted device).
happened to me too. pull the battery. hold vol up and power and home and then insert battery. Keep holding till the 2nd time it reboots and you see the logo then let go of the buttons. This should put you into recovery. Wipe cache and wipe phone then reboot.
This worked for me, hope it works for you.
Trying to get into recovery mode doesn't work... I am a begginer at this. I tried pulling the battery out and doing the up home and power combo but that does not work.
