I recently flashed my phone by odin because its touchscreen didn't work. it got back to work after flashing. But when I want to go in recovery mode the android and box logos appear but nothing written on the screen and after a while it restart itself. So I can't root my phone!
What's the problem?
I think something with your recovery image is wrong with have you tried flashing it again?
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda app-developers app
I used a stock firmware package.
I didn't tried again because its a risky procedure.
if you in stock recovery, once the green android logo appear, just press the phone menu button, then your screen will dim...
wait for a while, it will lead you to the recovery menu mode...
You want to root your phone?
but let me know something 1st, when you boot your device to recovery, is there something coming like clockwordmod or stock recovery ?
If NO then dont try to re-flash your stock ROM via ODIN, maybe brick your device,
Simple is that. Download ODIN and ClockwordMOD file and turn your device into Download Mode by following link

AND Install any custom ROM
if you have still doubt or problem then message me or reply me here.. i'll give you all method step by step.

Recently had to replace my E4GT and the new device was sent to me with FI27 firmware. I want to install Blue Kuban or something similar, however I can't get the phone to boot into recovery. I can access download mode, which I used to flash a rooted version of the stock rom, however when I try to boot into recovery (holding power and volume up) the phone displays the samsung boot screen twice then boots like normal. Can I flash to a CWM or something through Odin in download mode, to gain access to custom firmware and recovery mode? Assuming I can, is there a preferred firmware to use now?
Get the el26 kernel that had cwm recovery in it and flash thru odin .
When the phone resets pull out the battery and place it back put the phone then boot into recovery

I really appreciate the guide, and I followed it, installed odin lite, got the right apk for my phone to flash, grabbed the cwm and flashed it, however I still can't boot to recovery and obviously can no longer boot back into the rom I had. I suppose I will wait until I get home and use odin on my pc to flash, as I can access download mode. Can I use the same cwm with the pc version of odin?
Ok, so things have gone from bad to worse.
I was able to flash the stock el26 with odin and got it back to factory, after that i booted into recovery and attempted to install blu kuban (after clearing everything) and it gives me a short write error about not enough space but I have over 10gb free on the phone and 20 on the sd card. I then attempted the mobile odin steps again VERBATIM from your guide and when the phone reset it soft bricked again, however this time it wont boot into recovery or download mode and just sits at the samsung logo screen. When I plug the phone into the pc and attempt to boot into anything the charging animation just freezes on the screen. any help would be greatly appreciated.
(edit) nevermind, im an idiot. figured it out.
Hi, I have a problem on my Galaxy GIO GT-S5660.
After turning off my phone, this has gone in bootloop. I've tried to search solutions on the forum, but no one has worked.
I can't go into recovery mode, just into Downloading mode and Emergency Downloading mode. When I try to flash it with a stock rom with Odin, it works until the reboot: when the phone is going to reboot, it doesn't start again. Odin takes his 5 minutes and say "PASS", but the phone is in the same bootloop and I can't use the Recovery mode.
I tried to flash the rom with Odin just using One Package option and either putting 4 packages.
Any idea?
Thanks!
P.S.: Do you know what is "Parameter Clear", "PDA format", "MD5 RAM Check" and "Phone Boot Udpate" under the "Debug ONLY" menu? I use Odin Multi Downloader v4.42.
what did you do? rom manager?
cuz not booting and corrupt recovery cant happen out of nothing, and it are complications of using rom manager on the wrong way.

It might have been that I tried to read /dev/stl5 (EFS partition) and that corrupted it. Or it might have been that I tried to flash it using heimdall (which I later discovered doesn't work on Gio). That didn't seem to do anything though, so I'm not sure what actually bricked it.

Can you guys still boot into recovery? If not, try flashing recovery via Odin. Once in recovery, factory reset your device, wipe system, wipe dalvik, wipe everything. Then try once again with Odin to flash your stock ROM - try a one package file (includes everything).

Hi,
This may be a stupid question but I'm new to Samsung phones so I don't know all the details (I've only been using HTC so far).
So I've followed all the steps and got root fine. However, I tried to reboot into recovery afterwards and it's like Clockworkmod has vanished.... It just gets into what looks to me like the stock recovery. Am I doing something wrong or does the phone automatically restore its stock recovery???
Also, can someone explain to me if it is possible to manually flash a recovery from the img file using fastboot like you do on HTC phones?
Oh, and another thing. What's this Odin thing? I never used anything like that with HTC...
Thanks

May I ask what variant you are using? GT-i9195?
Then please boot your phone into download mode, this can be done by first switching of your phone completely then holding the power button, home button and volume down button until the download screen appears where you press continue. Once you have done that connect your phone using the usb cable and make sure all drivers have been installed! Once the drivers are installed start up Odin uncheck the f.rest time box and click the AP section and then select the recovery file provided by Sir Arco in the root thread.
If you need more help please ask, If it worked then still reply
Odin is the software used to flash files to Samsung phones.
You will need to catch the first recovery boot after flashing the recovery image, or else the stock recovery will be reflashed once the phone boots up. Just reflash the recovery via Odin and make sure to boot into recovery right after the phone reboots after the flash.

Thanks for the response. Yeah, I kind of realized that's what's happening. I've managed to boot into the custom recovery right after the flash and did what I had to do in there, but then after I reboot the phone again, the custom recovery is gone. Is there a way to stop stock recovery being reflashed automatically?
Also, if I want to install a custom kernel, how can I backup the current one so that I can restore it at a later date if I need to? I know how to do this on HTC phones but it all seems to be a bit different on Samsung and I don't want to mess up anything.
How did you reboot? If you select the reboot option in the CWM recovery,it should follow with a question on whether you want to continue rebooting with reverting to stock recovery or not.

Umm... yeah, I think it did ask but I just accidentally pressed no before reading what it said... So I guess I'll just have to flash the recovery again and then answer yes to that question.

Yes that would be the correct way to do it.

Hold down power button for 5~10 secs. after it stucks on boot logo, and try if it reboots normally.
Or press Vol. up + Menu key and then power key for 5~10 secs it'd boot your phone into recovery mode.

Got you man, i'm just saying that this problem of yours is come with the Andro v4.3 and knox bootloader. First if anyone tried to install custom recovery it get stuck on bootlogo, but that is an another factor you can reboot it manually into recovery menu.
On the end when you attempt to reboot (from recovery) it asks you to disable stock recovery and you reboot your phone normally, that's it!

Hi!
My neighbors (11-year old) son apparently tried to root their Samsung GT-N5120 with something called King Root(??). I don't know more than that and they asked me to fix it cause (you know computers) -.-.
The problem is that it's stuck in boot loop. It boots up and it shows the screen and all but it doesn't happen anything and then it reboots. Now what i've tried is to start it in recovery mode (Volume Up + menu button + power button) and i've tried to do a factory reset but it didn't work. From what i've read i think he has overwritten those files that the factory reset needs. So what can I do? It doesn't seem to be bricked since it starts and I can start it in both recovery mode and download mode. My computer reacts when I plug it in and tries to install drivers and so forth (but it won't show up on My Computer). So something probably can be done I just don't know what to do. Any ideas?
