[Q] major confusion

hi all, my wife has been running cm6.1 and lately it has had a few issues, so i go to download through rom manager, it fails downloading several times, download on a computer and transfer it over, boot into recovery through rom manager(i feel retarded for this one... no back up, didnt wipe) and install, well, it goes to the cm boot animation, sits for a long time, then i remember i didnt wipe so i attempt to get back into recovery and wipe, well, some how, the phone managed to go back to the stock recovery... needless to say i became very very confused...
does anyone have any insight?
thanks in advance

If you havent s-off, then you probably will see stock recovery and need to flash the update.zip to get to clockworkmod. I think i remember that right.

i finally did get cm 7 up and running, and in rom manager it says that i have the latest availible clockwork recovery, but i can only get to it if i rebot to recovery through rom manager, if i go through the boot loader, it takes me to the black screen with the ! in the triangle, then after several button pushes takes me to stock recovery

This happens because ROM Manager reads the altered 'update.zip' from your SD card and it is recommended you use that program (app) to do all your loading and ROM stuff. Though if your phone is powered off you can hold Volume Down and power then after getting to the Triangle "!" screen pressing volume up and power gets you to altered 'update' screen.

[Q] Glide wont reboot stright into Recovery

I am not new to the concept of rooting and loading a custom rom. This is the 3rd android phone that I have bothered with. However it is the first one I have had to use Odin to root or push files to.
I have used CarpeNoctem's writeup on how to root and utkanos' CWMR port writeup. Ofter verifying I had root, I decided I would try out Carpe's OsiMood. No problem right? Here is where I am wondering what if anything went wrong on the previous steps.
I made a back up ofter finally getting it to recovery mode, and when I tried flashing the new rom, it would not complete the process.
As it sits, when I choose recovery from CWM it reboots to the android with triangle screen(see attached video). What concerns me is the lack of fluidity into the recovery, the fact that it loads in only after the battery is removed and the phone is turned back on and lastly that I cannot flash a new rom.
It appears as though I need more posts to add my link for youtube.
Please add standard youtube weblink before this to watch the video.

What would you recommend my first action be?
Thanks,

This also quite unfortunate for ROM manager, "somewhat", not working fully for the Glide (yet). I can't really go into 3e/CWM recovery with the app, but manually (volume down + power/lock button) has no problems. This also happens on my Captivate (SGH-I896/7), I need to restart the device for a second time to boot into recovery. As per your flashing issues, you might need to mount /system manually and then flash the ROM, when it fails, try and try again, always happens to me from stock rogers ROM. Also, if you have Titanium Backup, it now supports reboot device features (recovery and hard reboot)

Thanks for your insight. I tried volume down and power before but when I saw the samsung logo pop up I figured it wouldn't work.
I will try flashing again and report back. Thanks again.

Tried flashing again, worked great. If only the glide had more support. Lol.
Currently running OsiMood.

My glide does not boot. I can get into Download Mode. I can NOT get into de recovery mode. I think my NAND is corrupted.
How can I mount the /system partition? Because I flashed too many roms with ODIN, but nothing, still not booting, I get stuck in the samsung logo.

Use Odin to reflash recovery,you backups should still be there unless like you say maybe they got corrupted as well,but its worth a shot.

I've already flashed the stock recovery, the CWM, a lot of kernels, even I tried to flash the kernel and bootloader of the Galaxy S II, but nothing.
I'm starting to think that maybe is a hardware problem. Hope not, but I'm not moving foward.

If you havent already,pull out the sim and sd card.
Reboot your pc and download a fresh up to date Odin.
So when you flash it says it successful and then just doesnt boot?
I had a boot loop once ,had me stumped and it turned out to be my sd card was poached and caused the loop.

Exactly... It goes all over the process bar, says succesfull, the phone turns off, and nothing. The phone not even restart itself, I have to remove the battery, put it back again, and then it turns on, but just to show me the samsung logo.
I've used the ODIN version 1.85 and the new one 3.04. But nothing. This is so frustating.

I've opened a thread with all the symptoms of my bricked phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035742
Please, tell me there is a solution...

There are one alternative to boot
1. Shut down and then restart phone in recovery mode. For the Samsung Captivate Glide, this required pressing the power, volume down and home keys all at the same time.
2. The initial screen which appears gives you a choice of loading a replacement OS (volume up) or entering recovery mode (volume down). Note you have to hold the volume down key for several seconds before the recovery mode menu appears.

[Q] Keep rebooting...soft bricked? Help please...

Hi all,
I'm new to android. I did root my note 2 using the instruction by dr.ketan. I used method#1, flashing with changelu's cwm6-root-note2.tar, everything was successful. However, I can not boot into cwm recovery. I tried press and hold vol up+home+power when the text samsung galaxy note ii appeared let go the power, but nothing happen. My device would reboot again. I tried to use rom manager to reboot to the recovery, the device would show the samsung galaxy note ii and keep rebooting. Any tips on accessing the cwm recovery?
As I could access the download mode just fine, I will tried to reinstall the stock rom again and hope that it will be normal again.
I used stock rom, namely the N7100XXALIE_N7100OLBALI9_THL, and changelu's cwm6-root-note2.tar
One more thing about OTA, from what I understand, if I rooted with stock rom then using TriangleAway to reset the counter.
I will still have System Status: Custom which I read that it could be set to Official by using cwm then clear cache and wipe the device.
With binary counter: no, everything else is official, will I be able to update using OTA?
Thank you,
beau

Have you reset counter?

to boot into recovery it's necessary to press the power button only till the "galaxy note2" screen comes up, then you have to hold the vol button and the center button until the recovery shows up. maybe you'll have to try it one or two times to get the proper timing, after you've done it a few times you're into it!
regarding the reboot issue:
i had this on several devices sometimes, i fixed it always by reflashing kernel and recovery. so don't panic, its no brick for sure! had this today when i swapped my note2 for another one (due to display flaws, same old story as with sgs2 and note1). after rooting the new one i could not shut down the phone, after restoring the nandroid all was fine again!
hope that helped!

Update on my status:
I just finished reflash the stock rom. Everthing seems normal now. I just saw in dr.ketan thread that someone else also had the same issue, can't boot into recovery after using triangleway to reset the counter.
Thanks dr.ketan & TML1504 :good:

But i can't fix my problem.my phone always logo hang on startup.i try to recovery mode but phone not getting to recovery.
I think its another soft brick.i try kerner,cwm recovery & 5 different version of firmware but ODIN just says fail & there is no pit partition.
4 times Pm to dr.ketan but he also Silent.
What to do now?

phone will not go into recovery mode

ok so i had posted lat night where for what ever reason after being rooted and having wicked rom running after doing a nandroid back up phone wouldn't go past boot screen. every time i try to go to recovery it shows samsung boot screen and see on top that it is going into recovery mode. after like 2 seconds it reboots and goes back to boot screen. i was able to get into download mode and flashed stock rom in odin. every things works fine as far as that. one strange thing is the phone sd card is pretty much full. i have done a factory reset every thing was back to normal. once again phone memory is full. i have loaded the root file on my ext sd card. load a recovery through odin. that works fine. still won't go into recovery. how can i fix this issue. i really just want the stock rom with recovery and root so i can run a few programs that require root. also how much extra space should i have on the phone memory after loading stock rom back up. any help would be greatly appreciated. btw this is not my first time having a rooted and custom rom phone. i had all that working on my htc amaze 4g.

lol wow. don't know how that worked. every time before when i wanted to get into recovery i held it until it actually went into recovery. thanks:good:

My phone is verizon s4 sch-i545 when I try to boot up in recovery mode it shows booting in recovery but it just boots up normally .I wanted to do a factory reset but the factory reset just restarts my phone and when I try to get into recovery mode for a hard reset I cant boot into recovery mode. I don't know what to do

For recovery, try holding down the volume up, home and power button. Once the phone starts to boot, release the power button only. Keep pressing the volume up and home button. When you see the dead android, release all buttons.

my video where I hv solves this problem

Stuck in bootloop can't power to recovery or Odin.

Hello all, as the title states. my Note 2 is stuck in a bootloop. Originally I had the Liquid smooth ROM flashed, I have been running this ROM for several months with no issue. Yesterday I tried to flash the Blissstalk ROM using the usual method: TWRP 2.8.5 > Full wipe > Flash Blissstalk > Wipe dalvik/cache again > Reboot system. Phone loaded up fine went through setup and installing apps fine. I put my phone on charge last night and woke up this morning to it stuck on the Bliss bootscreen. I pulled the battery and tried to boot to recovery (Vol up + home + power) instead of loading recovery my phone went straight to the bootscreen. Tried 3 more times and then 3 times to get it to boot to Odin. Nothing happens other than it goes straight to the bootscreen and gets stuck. Not sure what to do now and looking for a way to, if nothing else, return it to stock so I can start fresh.

Did you try the 3 button combo with no battery and then install the battery with the 3 buttons still pushed? It may sound crazy, and it's tricky too, but I'm hoping that you haven't tried that as to it may be the fix you're looking for.

Make sure you press the vol up+power+home key and keep it pressed until you see the Samsung logo appear. Your switch might be a but loose
