[Q] My phone gets stuck on boot up HELP!!!!

Can any one help me I was trying to boot my samsung epic into recovery mode and I let go of the camera button to early now my phone gets stuck in between the boot up please help if u can thank you

if you let go of the button it should start up normally... Did you root with cwm3? it may be converting to ext4. First time I did it my phone converted like 10 times. lol... But I'm sure we will need more information as to what all was on the device our what your did to it such as root and roms

Hey wats going on to answer your question I followed drockstars instructions on how to root your phone without a pc and it worked well then I installed cwm2 and it worked but when I powered off and tried to boot into recovery mode to flash a rom it got stck at the samsung screen wat do I do

If you have access to a computer I would try poison back to stock. And I've never tried the root without a pc so can't help much there:/ sorry. Best bet would be odin tho as far a I know

What rom did you flash thru cwm2.x?
Edit; I think I missed that, you where just booting into cwm via 3 finger and it didn't boot into cwm?
Edit edit; if you pull the battery and try to boot into cwm again, does it still get stuck st the samscreen?

How can I use the pc if I cant boot the phone to the main screen will it still work. Im sorry as you can tell I'm new to this

When I take the battery out and try the three finger boot it just stays on the samsung screen it won't go into recovery mode

Ok here are some vids, the first one is how to root without a pc and he also made how to use odin. Check those out and come back here if you have any questions. Your phone is recoverable, it just may take a bit of work.

Lol.....chances are you may have missed a tidbit of info. Check out odin then, it sounds like it may be your saving grace, also there's an odin thread in the development section. Its all up to date.
Edit; here's the odin thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813

Try flashing zedomax v3 kernel with odin and see what happens. Or if you have cwm recovery download a rom wipe cache and flash it.

can i just flash the rom like on the evo from the sd card??? in clockwork mod??

i put a rom on my memory card but when i go to clock work mod it is not there......
help please
just hoping someone can help 2818832305 that's my home number i have no idea what i did wrong

I am stuck in a perpetual loop of moving threads to Q&A! What should I do?
Oh - yeah - move to Q&A. Silly me.

I think if I'm not mistaking you have to put the rom in your internal memory NOT the sd card. Try that

how can i put in on the internal memory if it's stuck in boot loop???

Can u go into recovery? Of so go into recovery then USB mode

ok i am at the clock work mod recovery screen now what do i do???

ok put it in usb mode but the computer is not even recognizing that's it's connected

i will never flash or root my phone again this is ridiculous.

Do u have the drivers installed? Make sure the drivers are installed, or try a different wire

phew even though i had done it before i flashed the stock kernel waited and i'll be darn if it didn't boot up.....

cool. next step: click the thanks button a few times for the kind soul (aaron130) who patiently stuck with you as you worked it out

Good glad your back up and running. I know the feeling u had and it SUCKS

Try holding vol up and down and plugging the USB cable in while connected to your pc. If that don't get you in download mode then your phone may be bricked.

Maybe a bit more info? Skyrocket roms are totally safe to flash and do not cause bricks... so what else did your brother do?

Search on eBay for t989 repair. There's a JTAG repair service you can send the phone to fix it for around $40

Nothing much; just the typical rom download and CWM flash of the rom after a TDJ Super Wipe. When he rebooted the phone, no response what so ever!
Think T-Mobile can help him?

If he super wiped after, he deleted your rom. Put a t989 ROM on your SD card , flash in recovery, your good!!

How are you trying to access recovery? While the phone is turning on hold on to both volumne rockers, the Samsung logo pops up, let go. Unless there is more info, you should still be able to access recovery and download mode. Skyrocket roms, by themselves, will not brick a T989

Sounds bricked to me, if theres no life/vibration or anything.
send it to someone and jtag it and it should work

Maybe he broke the power button or the battery is dead and can't be charged? There's nothing you've done so far that should've resulted in a bricked phone unless your brother isn't telling you everything.

He must have done something wrong flashing then! Maybe a corrupt superwipe rom was downloaded; he was going from a gingerbread rom to jb. Oh well ...he has warranty left on it. Hopefully he can get an exchange
Thanks all for your help! Much appreciated!

find a repair center near you and ask if they have a riff box. if yes, ask them if they do JTag Ressurection. If you cant find one, google 'jtag ressurection' and look for a store called mtech service out in toronto. you can fedex them your phone and they do the repair for $50. i just hard bricked my tmo sgs2 and im sending mine out to them. my dumb ass decided to flash a .pit alongside a modem in odin. i did ALOT of research on this and they are the closest jtag repair shop to me in boston, mass. i couldnt even find a mail in center in the usa, unless you choose to go through samsung or tmobile.

Phone Keeps shutting off at random

Hey All. I just got this problem today, my phone keeps shutting off randomly and then it will get stuck at booting up and will constantly make the sound it makes while booting up. I just tried reflashing to stock via odin following thisTutorial and i got it to restore to stock but it got stuck at the samsung logo after the T-mobile logo. After that it keeps doing the same to me as before restoring to stock. I can't get into recovery on it or download mode.

Could be stuck or bad power button try cleaning in and around the button.

I Dont think thats the problem because I am able to power on the phone.

When you restored from Odin did you do a factory reset? If you didn't it will stay on the Samsung logo.

Okay I figured out I left a recovery from march 2 on my sd card so now i have a recovery that is stable. How can i get into recovery to factory reset my phone? I've tried VOL UP + VOL DOWN and im not sure if im doing it right, but is there any other way to get into recovery??

Did you turn off the phone and hold volume up + volume down + power until the phone vibrates and then let go of power button?
