I was using romtoolbox to install a boot animation I found I'm the themes and apps forum. After rebooting to check it out the screen just stays black. I haven't been able to get into recovery with the button combo but can get into download mode. What are my options? Odin to stock? Kinda stuck..
Edit: used the note 2 toolbox and was able to access recovery. Forgot that trusty thing

i just rooted my incredible today and flashed MIUI. everything worked fine but i didnt like how it looked so i tryed to restore from a backup i made earlier. My phone is now stuck in the white boot screen. i did a battery pull and still get the white screen. I can get into hboot and recovery but when im in recovery none of the menu options work. when i go to one like the install zip from sd it goes to a black screen with just the cwm logo on it. same goes with every other menu option it try. What do i do? please help i searched all over the threads and google and cant find anything
Just how aee you selecting a menu option, and then what happens?
i was trying to select it with the power button and not the track pad.. im new to this lol my bad. everything is fine now got it up an running
First off a little background I downloaded and installed the collective rom from the dev section earlier today and was absolutely loving it. I went into the over the air settings, and downloaded the avengers theme bc I thought it would make a cool edition to show my nephew ( loves the avengers) upon rebooting after successfully flashing I get the avengers A boot logo but it just sits there flashing, and the phone never boots. After waiting a solid 15 minutes for it to boot I held down the power button to power down the phone, and now I can not get it into recovery to reinstall the rom, or install a backup that I made. Clockwork will not come up for some reason, and whenever I try to boot the phone again it gets stuck on the avengers A??? What should I do? What did I do wrong? Thanks in advance
P.S. whenever I plug the phone in it does bring up the battery icon that shows that it is charging, and it will also allow me into download mode.

that is rather wierd. i also use the collective rom its great! but was the avengers theme a flashable theme? or one from theme choooser... if it was flashabble are you sure you did it to the right device.. honestly if i were you and there were no way going into recovery i would unroot and reroot and install ur custom recovery again and restore ur collective rom before this problem happened...

Thank you for the quick response. Yes I am sure it was a flashable theme, if you are running the collective rom and go to the over the air settings there are themes you can download, and the instructions just say to reboot into recovery, flash the theme, then reboot. after doing that I am now experiencing these problems.
A little more info. Sorry bear with me I'm a noob. whenever I try to reboot (not recovery) it says samsung first then it say samsung galaxy s3 like normal then the next screen is the avengers A and this is where it gets stuck. When I try to reboot into recovery all i get is the first black screen with samsung and then after that the phone turns off and the battery icon comes back up. I don't get the second samsung galaxy s3 screen where you are supposed to release the power button, it just dies and goes to the battery logo.

Since you can go to download mode i assume odin should still recognize your device. If I were you I'd odin unroot...reroot....restore your old collective rom...cuz u wanna stay orange
Today I tried to flash Jedi Mind Trick onto my S2. I followed all of the instructions but I am stuck looping at boot. I see the samsung screen, then the deviant developers screen, but then it loops again. A couple of times I have seen it go to a screen where there is a spinning circle. I am trying to get into Clockwork Recovery to access my nandroid backup, but it is not letting me get there. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Put the device in download mode, use Odin to flash twrp 2.6.1.0 and reflash, if ur still looping check ur power button, might have sticky power button issue in which case there are bandaids to help or talk to Samsung...

My T-Mobile SG3 T999 has a blank/black screen after the "Samsung Galaxy S3" boot logo pops up. This happened after messing around on Pimp my Rom and I rebooted to implement some tweaks. Consequently the result mentioned now occurs. I can however get it into download mode and factory reset mode, so I know it's not completely gone. I tried to simply reflash my root software or whatever, that I had successfully done. It went through Odin and said pass, but still I have the black screen. Is there any advice for this situation? I am hoping to have more options or perhaps a guide for unbricking. I am downloading the stock rom for my phone, and will try to flash that, but I'm not really sure how that would fix it.
Any help would be very much appreciated!!
Can you boot into recovery? (Take battery put of phone, put battery back in, hold volume up, home button and power button until you feel the phone vibrate and you see blue text)
Does cwm show up (grey background) or stock recovery (black background)?

Boot stock recovery AFTER Odin flash and factory reset. Then try again.

So I bought 2 broken Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 from a friend knowing that the screens were cracked and that there were pass codes but I just figured I could replace the screens and then wipe them. Fast forward to today and I got one fixed but it won't go into recovery or download mode. I do the right button sequences for each one and but it just boots up as normal. All the buttons function and I tested them with the device on but no matter what I do it just starts up as normal. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do?
Just replaced the actual volume buttons and still no luck. Any one have any idea?
Rooted ?
Options:
If you can get into system ( normal bootup ) try enable USB debugging and install ADB on PC then run adb reboot boot loader or adb reboot recovery
or
If you are rooted, install Rom Toolbox and use reboot option
or
Use a usbjig, its small and cheap XD once you plugged in you can reboot into boodloader
Sorry to bump this so late but I just started trying to fix these again and still can't figure out what to do with this one. New buttons are installed and they work when the tablet is on but whenever I try to boot into recovery or download mode it just boots normal. At a lost here any suggestions?
Ok ordered a USB jig and got it into download mode. Loaded stock from odin and it still popped up with password so I flashed stock again with odin but erased NAND and now I'm just stuck at the final samsung screen and it won't boot. Tried 2 different stock roms with no luck no idea what to do
