I just tried to do an nandroid to a previous ROM, this has been done many times before via CWM. This time after reboot I got stuck in a bootloop as I pulled battery and manually tried to get into recovery with power/volume this time it went to odin mode and now says dowloading, do not turn off target.
I have powered down phone from ODIM mode. but now when trying to re-boot im stuck at samsung galaxy boot screen. I now have tried once or twice to manually get into recovery to see if sends me to CMW but phone resets back to the boot rather than bootloader.
I have tried to hold volume up and power to try and boot into recovery and all I get is the bootloop while holding the buttons, never gets routed to recovery. (I heard for ODIN you hold volume down and power)
Has anyone experienced this? I have never used ODIN so no sure where this is comming from.
I have tried to manually get into recovery and I get a samsung message that downloading a custom OS can be harmfull either I can proceed or re-boot. If I proceed (volume up) I get the "downloading do not run off traget" in ODIN mode if i do volume down I reboot but that back at the bootloop
If you cannot get into recovery you are probably going to have to flash through Odin. From the sound of it you never used odin before. I would flash back to the stock rooted rom and then reinstall clockwork mod. I will provide links. A file probably just got corrupt during the nand restore. Lets hope I can get ya back up and running.
Install stock rooted rom:

Make sure you follow the steps exactly and do NOT pull out the cable during odin until it is complete or you WILL brick your phone!

Thanks guys, seemed to do the trick got my phone up and running just like it was. I just need to download CMW and ive done that when firdt rooted so shouldnt be a problem. You think if I use a backup from before (other than the one i used when i initaly had issues) will be a problem?
Thanks again
you should be good.
Stuck at "Data.img" thru odin. Possible EMMC brick fix! Thanks to Jaymoon pg.#44
So here's the deal. I just couldn't help myself and I flashed shabbys ICS test build this morning. Well the more I started reading in the thread about guys having issues restoring there backups I tried it. Flashed the cwm touch recovery....did a full wipe and then went to restore my nand of Blend. Booted up and gets stuck at the Samsung boot screen. I let it sit there for about 10 minutes. Then from there I pressed volume up and power to see if i could get back into cwm. I was able to and had rogue recovery. I then went to do a full wipe again. The data wipe took about 2 minutes....which was strange...then wiped cache and dalvik. Then went to flash Blend(not the nand backup) and again stuck at the samsung boot screen.
So I then went into odin mode and attempted to odin back to stock using the D710USEL29_20120105.stock from qb777's you tube vid. All went good....got the pass and once again stuck at the Samsung boot screen. Then from there I went back into odin download mode and attempted to odin the stock rooted file(not the file to keep your data file) and it got stuck at "Data.img" in odin.
So now I sit with the battery out of my phone and have no idea what I can try from here. I think I remember reading that as long as you can get into odin download mode there should be a fix. As alot of you can probably tell from reading this I am new to odin. I should have never flashed this test build if I was not a hundred percent sure that I could get back and also should have been WAY more familiar with odin before flashing.
I'm off to hit the sack....have a fat headache from this screw up of mine. I'll be up at 6am to check in here. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it......and whatever suggestions you may offer please take into account that I just learned about odin last week, so maybe a "odin for dummies" could help me out the most.
A little freaked out about this and really hope someone knows a way they can help.
THANKS in advance
[EDIT] Looks like we may have a fix. Refer to Page numbers 44,45. Thanks to Jaymoon and everyone else involved.

It is possible somehow your partitions got messed up.
If you look at section A2 of the EL29 ODIN One-Click, you will find the regular ODIN tar.md5
You can use that with regular ODIN. The file you download is a self-extractor so you need to double-click and select where to unpack. That will give you a tar.md5 file. Use the *PDA* slot in ODIN to select that file. Double-check you used the *PDA* slot. Then the only option you should select in ODIN (that isn't already selected for you) is Re-Partition (so you should have Re-Partition and Auto-Reboot checked)
so sfhub,
after doing the wipe in the stock recovery.... i did a reboot system
THe "samsung Galaxy sII" screen just flashes on and off every couple of minutes.

So this is different that what it was doing before? Perhaps you are making progress.
Try ODIN flashing just the rooted ROM (section #B4)
Sorry it is taking so long. I'm kind of using you to debug the actual issue.

---------- Post added at 02:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 AM ----------
do you want me to select anything in odin? or just the auto reboot?
It is a self-extractor so remember to double-click on it to extract the tar.md5 before using in ODIN.
Just auto-reboot is fine.
You've already flashed the kernel and reformated /data. The only thing needed to boot that might not be correct is the ROM, so hopefully this works.
alright... ill let you know in a few minutes what happens
It will probably take a little bit of time. The ROM is the largest image.
^ yea...
its going now... currently in FACTORYFS...
---------- Post added at 02:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 AM ----------
it says PAss..... not sure where it did data though....
factoryfs
NAND Write Start
RQT CLose
RES OK
REmoved
Completed
All threads completed (succeed 1/ failed 0)
It didn't do /data (data.img). You already formatted that using stock recovery, so it shouldn't be necessary to flash it.
Factoryfs.img is the ROM.
You previously already flash the kernel and verified it was working because you were able to boot into stock recovery.
So that takes care of kernel, ROM, and /data. I doubt anything is wrong with the modem. So everything that is needed to boot should be in place.
its just flashing the "samsung galaxy s II" screen again
it goes to a grey battery image screen
That is usually what it does when you power down your phone. What happens when you press and hold power until something happens?
press and hold power = gray battery screen....
edit... the battery went away and "samsung galaxy s2" is back
If it is looping again, try booting into recovery and wipe data/factory reset one more time.
I wonder if you can run adb logcat as the phone goes from off state to stuck on samsung logo. You might be able to see whats going on if adb picks it up.
^ That's a good idea ^ Might provide some clues.

wipe is complete...
still shows the E:file is written: not updated
in command prompt, type
adb logcat
it will more than likely say "waiting for device" . thats fine, just plug in your phone to the pc and boot up the phone as usual. if the phone is booting far enough, adb should pick up the device and start displaying the logcat.
I was trying to install one of drewgarens touchwiz roms. touchwiz milestone 5 firefly i believe. not the most recent one because i was too lazy . boy was that a mistake. everything was going smoothly until it booted and it got stuck on boot. I thought no big deal just go into recovery and use a backup. until i did so and recovery was gone and there was only download mode. I have spent the whole afternoon trying to fix it and none of it has worked. I tried flashing the stock rom and it as well got stuck on boot. I looked at all the AT&t relevant ones and also the international versions. so all in all is there anyway to fix this and has anyone had the same issue? i was flashing from cyanogenmod 10 m1 to the drewgaren rom btw. I can also go to download mode. I tried to flash stock but it still gets stuck on boot. log. I flashed the ATT boot logo and it did not work. all of which were flashed through odin.
any thanks in advance is greatly appreciated.
I think you can flash back to stock with just download mode + odin

Unplug your device. Hold the power button to turn it off. Hold volume up, home, and power. It should go to recovery. If you do the same thing with volume down instead of up, you can get into download mode.

Follow the instructions and you should be able to flash the recovery and continue on with what you were doing. Remember to wipe really good when going from aosp back to any stock based ROM. They are completely different and will cause boot loops if you don't wipe.

K I made it home lol. I'll attach a Odin flashable cwm, it's an older one but it'll get you a recovery, I hope. I just tried it on my phone with Odin, 3.07 both with usb debugging enabled and disabled on my phone and it worked both times. Crap keep getting errors uploading right to xda servers, I'll drop box it in a minute.
Ok here we go Odin cwm--> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28590257/Odin recovery/CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v4.tar.md5
Newest twrp --> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28590257/Odin recovery/twrp2.3.1install.zip
I'll add the newest twrp for you lol. Flash the cwm with odin, should work and then the twrp is a zip you can flash in cwm.
Hope this helps get you a recovery.
Remember in Odin use only PDA and only have auto reboot checked.

This may sound like a stupid question but what boxes do i tick in odin?
After your hooked up and Odin is open under the options on the left side check only Auto Reboot. On the right under files check PDA and use that button to browse your computer and find the cwm you downloaded from my dropbox. Then just hit start on the bottom of the Odin window and let it finish, your phone should reboot when its done. It will get stuck again like you described in your first post but pull the battery, put it back in and boot into recovery using vol up,home and power buttons. That should (if everything flashed OK) put you into cwm 5.5.0.4. Once there wipe data/factory reset then restore the back up you mentioned in your original post, that should get you running again.

If something has happened to your backup then you could try the stock rooted stuff here , just pick the one for your carrier and follow the instructions. :highfive:

I was able to get it into recovery but i realized i did not have my sd card in so i turned it off and put my sd card in. unfortunately i was not able to get it back into recovery i tried flashing it again with the sd card in and no luck
That's odd. Couple of stupid questions on my part just to make sure, you had the right button combo, and, you released the buttons soon as the splash screen came on? Can you still get into download mode? Oh and did you do the wipes while in recovery?

oh my gosh THANK YOU SOOOMUCH. I was worried i would have to take it to at&t ill be sure to press the thanks button.
I take it you got your phone working lol. Glad I could help a little. Little advice, anytime you switch to a different type of ROM (aosp to stock based or the other way around) make sure you wipe data/factory reset before flashing anything. It will save you problems in the long run.
Oh and could you go back and edit your original post and just add solved in brackets to the title for people in trouble looking for info.

Depending on which stock ROM you flashed with odin you should now have a recovery, if not then something isn't right. The full bone stock ROM should have the factory 3e recovery, and the root injected stock ROM should have some version of CWM recovery. A factory reset will most likely fix your boot loop, if there is no recovery flash the rooted stock ROM that matches your device from this guide.
Edit - Didn't see there was a second page 0_o
I've been trying to root my Note 2 using the guide on XDA ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31801060&postcount=2 ). However, I can't access the CWM recovery. This is what I tried, maybe you can see where I did something wrong:
I've started Odin, clicked PDA and pointed it to the philz_touch file which I downlaoded through the link provided in the guide.
Auto-reboot and F. Reset Time are checked.
Then I put my phone into download mode, waited until the com.port thing turns blue.
Then I clicked start. Everything seemed to work fine and Odin said "PASS" or something.
The phone rebooted, but not into recovery. When I try to access recovery I see that it's stock.
According to the instructions in the guide I then unchecked auto-reboot, repeated the procedure and rebooted by keeping the power button pressed.
It doesn't go into recovery but just starts up.
When I try to access recovery it is still stock.
WHAT THE HELL DO I DO?
Can you name the file you flash?

well just flash philz recovery via odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.prehp?t=1896696 all files available here , be sure to enable usb debugging and unistall kies just install the usb drivers that will do
Note :
normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery.
If it reboots into android and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing power button until it reboots (normally will go to recovery)
when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm
thanks; i'll try
the link you put is not working, but i did a research on the forum (i didn't know philz recovery) and i downloaded it

TWrp recovery install failed
I am n7100 stock unrooted. I tried to install Twrp recovery through odin.
Everything seems to have gone fine. I followed instructions to the letter. But I failed to notice if it said pass or not and note2 booted on its own. I don't how bad it is or what I should do next. Phone working fine otherwise. Please help.
Install latest TWRP once rooted, I have a separate thread about how to root your device.
1. Download latest twrp from here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/d851
2. Download Flashify (for root users) from play store
3. Open flashify select recovery file you downloaded then flash it to your device. Done
(Boot into recovery menu when device is powered off)
1. Hold volume down and power button simultaneously
2. Soon as LG logo appears immediately let go of both volume down and home button
3. Repeat step one right after step 2
You will be asked to factory reset your device SELECT YES BOTH TIMES and you should boot right into recovery menu.
Done
Thanks for the guide bit it does not work.
I did as you have explained, flashed the twrp image but it does not go to recovery mode after pressing volume down plus power butto. It turns on normally..??
How do i know if the twrp is properly installed??

This only works if you have the play store (and thus GAPPS) installed. I however do not.
You should modify the title to reflect that.

Tried TEAMWin's TWRP and backup restore failed also. Must have been a bad backup. Gonna try backup again with TeamWin's and restore and see what happens.
this link from the stock rom thread points to a version 2.8.6.1 which is newer than everything in the OP link

on my g2 I would go to factory reset in the setting and it would only boot into recovery mode..
I just searched for TeamWin TWRP and D851. Got a link to here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/249/ Seems twrp-2.8.7.0-d851.img is latest.
Update: I was trying to find a safe way to update TWRP and went back to the below site. The instructions now say to update with TWRP Manager. It worked flawlessly.

Install TWRP Manager. Tap on Install TWRP. Select your device from the device list (d851) and then tap on Install Recovery. The file will download and be installed automatically.
