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.

BOOTLOOP
After updating, from samsumg, my android doesn't start and i cann't use it. Try everthing, any ideias?
It sounds like we have the same problem.
My phone won't boot normally (I just get a black screen that flashes every few seconds) and I can't get into recovery mode, only download mode. Tried flashing with Odin and it didn't seem to change anything. I don't know what else to do.

Accidentally used Mobile Odin on the wrong phone. After the use of that application the phone continue to work properly, I had that problem After rebooting.

I have the same black flashing screen when my Gio is charging, but I have the Samsung logo flashing every few seconds when I try to switch on the phone. What did you do on yours? Rom Manager or what?

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.

I would try to use PDA format under Debug Only menu in Odin 4.42, if I only knew what it does. Or maybe use Boot Update, under Debug menu... do you know any official manual of Odin and his Debug options?

Same crash bere with PDA format, but I tried Odin 4.42. You too?
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).

I can't get into recovery. If I boot while holding [home], the screen just blinks every few seconds, the same as if I boot without holding anything. I have tried flashing CWM recovery or stock ROM with Odin; it doesn't seem to change anything.

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
http://mygalaxywonder.blogspot.com/2012/03/how-to-install-clockworkmod-v5504-for.html
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.

I'm actually in the exact same situation. I was simply transferring music to my phone when it went into this boot loop. I've tried using ODIN to flash every possible ROM I've been able to find.
Desperately in need of help.
How exactly do I perform a "wipe"?
1. Can you guys get into Download and or Recovery mode?
2. If recovery is available, did you back up? If so, restore or flash back to original Rom.
3. If you can get into Download mode, flash back to a stock Rom, and start fresh.
Might sound obvious, just trying to help. I've learned that often I thought the phone was "done", but after refusing to give up on it, it came back to life...
Just keep trying , sounds recoverable for both.

You can wipe by getting into recovery. Wipe Data, cache, dalvik cache.
I can only get into download mode and I've tried to flash to stock ROM SEVERAL times now to no avail.
I've noticed that the binary counter isn't going up after each attempt though...

So, does odin say- succeeded or failed or do nothing when you flash?
Says succeeded every single time.

Hmm, there really doesn't seem to be a solution to this. Any possible way to "fastboot" it?
Anyone know where I can find a PIT file?
I asked this question in the thread for the ROM I tried installing but figured I might as well as here... I tried flashing the AICP ROM from MrImpossible and I think I got a bad download.. The flash failed and I redownloaded the ROM.. Upon putting my SD card back into the phone, I could not boot into recovery.. Of course I had wiped my old ROM so I am stuck with my phone doing nothing... I am downloading the Stock Firmware to Odin back but was wondering if there was anything else I could do, or if I am missing something.. When trying to manually boot into recovery, The Galaxy S4 screen, The little blue "recovery booting" is not showing up and of course I get stuck at that screen.. Has this ever happened to anyone??
What's your method of manually entering recovery?
Try just the volume up plus power button combo?
Also what recovery? You could try flashing a different recovery via Odin

First download the ODIN flash TWRP recovery file here: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/jfltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.2-jfltetmo.tar
ODIN flash the TWRP recovery TAR file using the PDA option in ODIN.
Boot the phone into recovery mode and do the following:
The only question I have is: "Can you get into TWRP recovery without any problems"?
If the answer is YES then all you have to do is to reflash the rom (install option in twrp)
BUT this time when you are in the AROMA installer be SURE that on each screen
where it asks you to select options that you select at least one item even if the item is
already selected by default select it again. Do not skip any options in AROMA installer.
If you do not select an item for each option the phone will again get stuck on boot screen or it will bootloop.
(P.s. the aroma installer will do the wipe)
Good luck!

Hi, I don't know if I should make a separate post but I have a similar problem.
My Note 2 is stuck on the "Samsung GALAXY Note II GT-N7100" screen at boot. Only by flashing a stock ROM through ODIN can this be fixed. When I try to install a custom recovery and ROM on it, it gets stuck again at that screen.
Can anyone help me?

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.

Please reread my post. It's a persistent issue. Rebooting doesn't do anything. Recovery doesn't do anything.

I was wondering if anyone had a similar issue to mine and how to flash a custom rom after that. The only way I've found for the phone to work was to use ODIN to flash the stock firmware on it. After that, if I try to install a custom ROM, it goes back to the SAMSUNG screen at boot.

If you wanted to install custom rom, if so, you can't flash it through Odin (Only for flashing for Official stuff ). Download a custom rom, whichever you wanted(Copy that rom on externel SD), reboot into recovery and by selecting 'wipe data and cache' >> 'clean to install a new rom'.
Then again coming to main menu select Install zip from sd, and redirect it to rom file which you've downloaded. In any custom rom like DN3, SenSonic they've full procedure for flashing the rom, just stick to it to install it perfectly...

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!

Ah okay, that makes sense. Unfortunately that doesn't apply to my situation. I had already been on a 4.3 custom rom for several months when the phone just died like that. As of right now, I can only get it to work if I flash a stock ROM on it.

Flash stock firmware using odin.
Or you can try flashing a custom recovery and making factory reset. You will lose data but phone will recover.
Stock rom odın flash, recovery wipe data ve cache and reboot

Thank you, but Odin is only for windows and I don't have it.
Any other program for Mac that could do that?
If possible I would not want to have the phone factory reset, I haven't done anything to justify this.
With my previous galaxy I had been playing and I could understand something similar,
but with this one I did absolutely nothing, do you understand why it happened?
I think you can not solve without turning to factory settings
Data are data without opening the phone what I will do if you can work something yok.he half of

Ok, I managed to get a windows PC and flashed the rom again with Odin.
It turned out that is not the problem. The problem is that after that (as much as before), when I start in recovery mode it shows the dead android and says "no command", after which it enters the boot loop again.
Now the phone has a freshly flashed stock rom, so what could it be???
I also flashed CWM-recovery and stil I can't get into recovery.
Kinda desperate now!

Just grab a latest build of any custom recovery for your device and flash it via odin.
Use TWRP or CWM latest builds. Once they flash successfully and the screen turns off
as device reboots, press and hold home and vol up keys which takes u to recovery.
Now go to advanced wipe and choose cache, data, dalvik AND INTERNAL STORAGE.
It is recommended to wipe internal storage this time. Just in case. Then reboot.
Thanks, but in which way is your suggestion different from what I just did?

Oh sorry. So it does not work even with custom recovery....
Did you try to flash it with a pit file earlier ? I mean did you do any re-partition ?
This is indeed really strange.
I tried CWM, not TWRP.
I don't know what a pit file is, I didn't repartition it, I did absolutely nothing to it.
I boarded a plane, put it in plane mode (I think) and when I landed 9h later it was off.
When I started it, it boot looped and no recovery.
Ok, now I tried also TWRP, nothing new
Does anybody have any further suggestion? I'm totally stuck and without phone almost a week now.
