i already pulled the stock recovery. just need help flashing via terminal emulator
thanks in advance

If your phone has power, you can download and flash whatever you need to directly, without a usb cable. If your phone won't power on, you can't really do anything with it. It needs to have some power to go into download mode, as far as I know.

Yeah, so just download the stock ROM and recovery directly to your phone instead. Flash the stock ROM, then flash over the custom recovery.

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^

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] How to root my SGH-t999v from Mobilicity? Baseband Version is T999VVLLH2

="3"] My phone's model number is SGH-T999V, and Baseband version is T999VVLLH2. I tried to flash clockmod into my phone by Odin many times. The Odin shows the .tar was successful, but when go to the recovery mode, it's still the initial one. Does someone can help figure it out? Can you list the steps to root t999v in details? Thanks a lot!nks a lot![/SIZE]

I think those are for the original build LE6 though.
Use odin to get your recovery installed but uncheck auto reboot.
When done unplug and hold power untill the screen turns off. Immediately let go of power and then press and hold Power + Volume up + Home. (Be quick)
When you see blue text flash on top of screen release power but keep holding other two until you get into recovery. (You may not have to keep holding home and vol, but its always wirked for me)
Now flash your SuperSU/Superuser and reboot.
Once booted delete/rename these files:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
This will stop stock recovery from being rewritten.
Now using goo or rom manager reinstall recovery again if you so choose.
Hope that helps.

[Q] CWM problem please help!

I was running cyanogenmod 9 on my phone when I looked into rom manager, I realized that there was a new version available (6.0.2.7) so I installed it via rom manager. A few days later i found that a stable version of cyanogenmod 10 was available so i put the zip file on my phone and followed the instructions to flash it. I did a darkside superwipe and everything. Then i went to boot my phone and it was stuck on the boot animation for 30 minutes, i scrolled down the page to find a comment from a person having the same issue, he said that to fix it he just pulled the battery out of his phone, put it back in and booted into recovery, did a factory reset, cache wipe and fixed permissions, then booted and it worked. I decided to try, so I booted recovery and tried to do a factory reset, clockworkmod froze. I tried it again, and it froze again. I then tried to clear the cache, clockworkmod froze. I tried to do a darkside superwipe, clockworkmod froze. No matter what I try to install clockworkmod will freeze. Has anybody on here had this problem, or know how to fix it? Or maybe know how to downgrade clockworkmod without being able to actually use the phone?

First off, don't use the Superwipe script on anything other than CWM 5.0.X. It'll cause a boot loop and ruin your recovery. I think your best bet is to boot into download mode and flash a recovery using Odin.

I just discovered that I can't get into download mode either.

Have you ever tried to reset your phone through kies? If not give it a try. Open kies on your computer then go to tools and click on upgrade and initialize. It will ask you to enter your device model, then the s/n number and just follow the instructions from kies. Let me know if that works for you

Good idea, but my phone won't actually get passed the boot animation, so Kies can't recognize it.

Yeah mine was doing the same, can you get it in download mode?

I tell you what, plug your phone to the computer and press volume up down and power it should get you in download mode then try to do the above trick
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium

If you can still get back to CWM recovery mode, you can use adb from a PC to reboot it into download by
Code:
adb shell
su
reboot download
After that you should be able to use Odin to push anything you need to (or Kies *should* work when it's in download mode, it's been a while since I've used it for anything)

Yes just figured out to get my phone in download you have to just hold the down volume button, then put in the usb cable. Rather then holding both up and down.

Just to let you you don't need kies to recognize your device to do that.

Just retried and it started, but then I got a notice with a bunch of Chinese writing, then the upgrade shutdown.

Well sorry to hear that. I would recommend to go galaxys2root.com and look for how to unbrick, I used that the last time my bricks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium

If you can get to download, you can try Odin to push a new recovery image. If you get CWM back up and running, you can use various adb spells and have a pretty good chance to get your phone back into working condition.

Let us know how things going. We will try to get your phone back to working condition.

alright so, heres where I am: the whole kies thing didn't work, so I tried to flash a new recovery through odin, it failed and now my phone is on a message that looks like the download screen, but instead of "downloading" it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.

May be try kies again. I also post a web site to check I used it the last time my phone bricked. If you didn't see it here it is galaxys2root.com and look for how to unbrick. It worked for me.

Figured out that the screen I was seeing is still download mode, and odin still recognizes my phone. Found on the website that if I try to flash the stock firmware via odin, it should unbrick/ unroot the phone. When I tried to flash through odin it got stuck on the boot.img process and wont load any further. I tried kies again and still had the same problem.

Sorry to here that. In the meanwhile, I will do some research, will let you know.

[Q] HELP, I Soft Bricked my SIII (I747M)

Hey guys i'm new to the forums and looking for some help.
I've rooted my S3 succesfully and installed CWM as well as flashed the updates for it, but after flashing the CM 10.1 ROM i cant't seem to get passed the CM logo, the screen just stays black. I've been looking through the forums and managed to find some stock ROMs but for some reason Odin(3.0.7) keeps giving me a fail message every time I try to do it.
Please help me I would just like to start from scratch and give it another go, is there any sort of guide to just reset everything either using Odin or from recovery?
Thanks

I've tried flashing a few stock roms and they all fail using odin, am I doing something wrong? And i can't flash from recovery because ic ant access internal storage while its stuck at logo.

To use Odin:
Usb in the back of computer (#1 on a laptop)
Reboot computer
Phone in download mode (volume down+ home+ power)
Run Odin as administrator
Use a known good cable
After flashing back to stock, when you get hung up on boot:
Pull battery, wait 2 minutes, reinsert
Boot into recovery with button combo, factory reset, reboot.

When I try this it just reboots back into CM logo and again at the black screen, I am wiping all caches and formatting every directory.

I made some major edits, check those out

Are they in the .tar format ? You can't flash .zip ones in Odin. You can get them from the no tripping flash counter root method

I've restarted and ran as admin, tried multiple ports and still getting the fail message when I click start on Odin with my md5 file under the PDA slot, could it be a bad file?

And you have to extract the file one time after downloaded.

Maybe try using Odin v1.85?
