Hi All !
I've flashed a kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756776, specifically, the AOSP ICS version on my DIET ICS rom.
I've cleared cach/dalvik and after fixing permissions rebooted. got a boot loop. Then I've tried to go into recovery by pressing vol. up+home+pwr, for a split second, I can see the blue writing at the left top of the screen, but then nothing happens, I only see a black screen
I can go to odin mode.
Any thoughts on fixing this ?
Thank you !!!:highfive:
EDIT:
Solved !
The solution was to flash an insecure touchwiz kernel through odin..

Hi guys I was wondering if anyone has some input for my question. I am able to flash a new ROM and when I was flashing a new kernel I then rebooted the system but I noticed that my phone screen was stuck on the "HTC Evo 4G" white screen and never booted to my actual phone screen. Is there any way around this? Should I flash the kernel first then reboot system or flash the ROM first then the kernel? any help would be so appreciated, thank you in advance!

Every now and then, my phone will get stuck after flashing a new kernel. I usually just boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik again ... takes care of it. If I forget and get stuck, simply pull the battery, and volume down/screen on button to get into recovery ... rinse and repeat.
You're doing it correctly ... flash rom and install ... then reboot into recovery and flash the kernel.
Hello! I successfully flashed Synergy RLS1 on my HTC Evo and it was working after that. I flashed some updates that I wasn't happy with so I decided to re-flash the Synergy RLS1 update. It flashed successfully but I was stuck on the HTC Evo 4G white starting screen for quite a while. (30 minutes)
I battery pulled, restarted and went into recovery. I did a Clear Storage and after 10 minutes it was still on the HTC Evo 4G white start screen so I decided to battery pull.
I tried again this time going into the bootloader menu and doing a reboot. It was stuck at the white screen for 10 minutes again so I just did another battery pull.
One last time, I tried starting up the phone normally but was stuck in the screen for about 20 minutes so just battery pulled.
Is there still a way to fix my phone or is it bricked?
EDIT: I am currently in the -black- recovery screen and flashing the rom again. How do I flash from a nandroid backup that I made?
EDIT: Thanks! I was able to get the phone started up! I probably would have ended up making bull**** excuses to sprint (for being rooted) if it weren't for the people on XDA-Developers.
If you can get to recovery, flash a different ROM or flash one of you backups

How do I flash from recovery? I thought ROMS could only be flashed from an application such as ROM manager. Please excuse my noobness, I don't know much about this. Oh, by the way, I'm talking about the white recovery screen. Not the black root one.
If it helps to know, when going into the white recovery, I get a message saying that there is no image file or something (I forget) and then it lets me navigate.
EDIT: Oh, I got to the recovery screen, I am trying to flash a new rom and see if it will help. How do I flash from previous ROM Manager backups?
vol down to recovery and click the power button to boot into recovery and then put it into usb-ms mode and put synergy on the rootof your sdcard and then get it out of usb mode and volume down to wipe.. clear your user data / cache / and dalvik and then go back to flash and then flash rls1 from there and reboot and cross your fingers

Thank you so much!
I had CWM recovery installed and tried flashing this Stock ROM.
Now my phone is stuck in the Google Bootloop with the 4 colored circles and keeps vibrating. Google logo doesn't show up but just the 4 circles. i let it go for about 10min then tried to boot back into recovery but recovery won't load. just goes back to the google logo boot screen.
can anyone help me get back to recovery or to install my backup???
I backed up my phone in CWM before i flashed.
Also when i flashed, i only wiped cache as the instructions on the stock rom thread said to.
can anyone help?
thanks in advance
i was able to boot into download mode and flash CWM again in odin and it says passed but still stuck in google logo colored circle bootloop.
anyone have any suggestions for me? it will be greatly appreciated
FIXED
woo hoo! thought my phone was gonna be a piece of junk.
guess i'll leave this thread incase it can help someone like me.
i fixed this by booting back into download mod and using odin to flash CWM recovery again from here:
http://galaxys4root.com/clockworkmodtwrp-recoveries/
then it PASSED but got stuck in bootloop again. so i held down power button (instead of removing battery) and shutdown and rebooted to recovery.
then i was able to install my backup!

Holding power + volume up to boot, or just volume up during a reboot will send you into recovery. Just for future reference...
Hi All,
So, I was an idiot and decided to flash the Perseus kernel on my Tmo Note 2 running 4.3 (Stock rom with root). To make things worse, I also decided not to back up anything.
My phone is no longer booting. The only thing that comes up is the "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" splash screen..then nothing. Weird thing is when I press the volume keys, my phone vibrates.
I know. I'm an idiot.
Any help is much appreciated. If at all possible, I rather not have to wipe my phone.
Thank you.
You can still boot into the recovery menu can't you? Just wipe Dalvik Cache and flash a different kernel like AGNI or Devil http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50059835
If you're unable to boot into recovery you should still be able to boot into the download menu where you can Odin a recovery back onto the phone then proceed from there.

Hi sir. I believe I also flashed -something wrong- since I have the same sympthoms quoted above. I have used a kind of "instalator" for "twrp.img" and "victara-24.11.18-retbr-boot-root.img". I have searched through tousand forums and troubleshooting and nothing works. I tried to use the huawi update extractor and flash the stock files, doenst work (the system.img and cust.img are too big and i cant erase the old ones to replace them)... i also tried installing stock ROMs but the twrp recovery can't complete the process, i dont know why...
can someone help me?
What is the phone's model #? Is it a Huawei?
I know several ways to access recovery: VolUp + Power (also tried VolUp+Home+Power), adb reboot recovery, advanced power menu (APM) from Wanam Xposed tweak.
Just telling that to prevent posts like "Oh, you just have to hold VolUp+Power and that's it".
So here is the problem.
I haven't tried accessing recover before rooting with cf-autoroot, so the first time I've tried was after I've already rooted and flashed SkyHigh 0.5 kernel. Not sure if it's relevant.
So I went to APM > Reboot > Recovery and got "THAT" screen. It's like a download mode, actually it is a download mode, but without confirmation on start, like "VolUp to continue, VolDown to restart", and without all that signs on top of the screen.
Just a green android and sign:
Downloading...
Do not turn off
So if I turn off the device than hold VolDown+Power I'll get into the normal download mode with confirmation. If I hold VolUp+Power I'm getting into this another one download mode.
Moreover, if I flash a recovery, now we have TWRP, after device restarts, it's getting directly into recovery, and I cannot reboot to system, it always getting into recovery. And if I turn off device and hold VolUp+Power, I'm getting into that aforementioned strange download mode.
So the only way to boot into system is to flash a kernel.
For info, for flashing I've tried Odin 1.85 and 3.09.
I even tried to make a tar with boot.img and recovery.img at once, but they flashing in order recovery -> boot, so I'm only getting kernel and the strage download mode in place of recovery.
It looks to me, that recovery gets flashed in place of kernel (boot), but I don't know how is this possible and, more important, how to fix this.

I have the same issue on 3 different T700s, the issue is with the SkyHigh kernel, if you flash the stock kernerl and flash the recovery you wont have any issues, but there seems to be a bug with the skyhigh kernel,
you can download the stock kernel on the skyhigh kernel page, iv tried 3 days to resolve the issue, but out of my hands, something the developer of Skyhigh has to fix.

Hmm...
Didn't I tried to flash stock kernel? Maybe not indeed.
Thanks, that's really helped.
I wonder if UpInTheAir is aware of this issue?
