i dont understand why you're device is powering off in recovery/download mode. any issues with the ROM should not be affecting the recovery partition. especially once its been booted into. lemme look around

do you have enough time in recovery to wipe data/factory reset? possibly even wipe cache?
so this device was running the ROM fine, you did nothing new and this issue just sprang up?

[Q] Problem After Flashing Asylum CM10

Couldn't post under the Asylum thread so hear goes........ Noob, not enough posts yet it seems.
Rooted Galaxy S3 i747M Telus ..... was working great until flashing Asylum CM10. CWM said it successfully flashed the ROM. However, upon rebooting the phone the normal Samsung stuff came up and the Asylum opening screen begins its thing and just continues to loop. It's been looping for about 3 hours now.......
Any suggestions on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.

By Asylum I assume you mean the spinning CM10 logo on startup?
It is recommended that you do a FULL backup of your data then a full wipe back to factory settings on your device before upgrading to CM10. Now, if you get into recovery mode, you can do a wipe and that should fix it. Maybe reflash after the wipe.

Well it worked... I guess the phone was in what folks call a boot loop. After the data wipe, the phone booted up as it normally should,
Many thanks.....

No problem! Glad I helped. Sometimes some files can't upgrade properly so that's why it happens as they corrupt.

stuck on black screen after flashing rom

I was running the new version of Hyperdrive until the mms stop sending so I decided to go to Goodness. Originally I could not get any rom to flash from the internal or external memory, so I pulled the sd card wiped everything and reinstalled my backup of carbon from trwp. After I confirmed the phone was working properly , i downloaded and placed goodness onto my internal memory (ext sd is not in right now) , and flashed no problem. Now the phone boots the Samsung logo, the goes into the Goodness boot animation, then goes black. I left it sitting for 30 min and nothing. Did a battery pull and nothing. So finally, I tried to get back into recovery mode and i cant. I hold volume up+home+power and the phone displays the blue script that shows recovery, then the samsung logo, then boots right back into the Goodness boot animation. How can I get back into twrp? Ive searched high and low for answers but cannot seem to find the answers to my problem. Thanks
Can you get into download mode? If so, reflash your recovery and try again.
Did you wipe in between flashes?

between hyperdrive and carbon I did a full wipe. Between carbon and Goodness I didnt. i figured I would be ok since I installed nothing but the os and gapps. I had done it other times with no problems and figured this time would be the same.

When you get to goodness boot animation does it not complete and the phone start the process over again?

Well I was able to unroot and re root my phone again. To answer the question though the boot animation would go on for 20-30 seconds and then the screen would stay black. No noise, no touch control, no indication that the power was on. When placed on the charger, the led wouldn't even display.
So is it all working now?

Make sure you redownload it, just in case it was a bad download.. you never know. I know it is time consuming but worth it.

Look it up.
there have been a few cases where for some reason the boot animation wouldnt start although the device was booting. simulating the " black screen ". this also has happend to me several times on a " first boot "......id try letting it sit for a few min. if it doesnt finaly boot, then just whipe whipe whipe.....reflash..and possibly redownload and reflash...

Wrong forum, wrong thread. Go start a new thread in the appropriate forum.

I foolishly got myself into a pickle, tabpro 8.4 stuck in bootloop into recovery

So I decided it would be a good idea to wipe everything including data and internal data etc using my twrp recovery on my tablet 6am in the morning so then I could do a fresh rom instal over adb. I fell asleep in the middle of wiping, woke up at 3pm (15 minutes ago) to find that the battery is dead. Plugged in the charger, tried to boot it up. No matter what I try I cannot get it to boot into anything else other then recovery, which is broken because it just flashes me the twrp logo, goes black then flashes twrp boot logo over and over, I can't even shut it down properly now. I've tried holding differrent button combinations etc and nothing works, i just get the bios logo (samsung logo) then back to the twrp logo loop whenever I try something.
What can I do fix this? I did have the android sdk btw, just realized I switched hard drives and have to download it again, I'm getting it right now.

I would first let the battery fully charge if you haven't already.
Then download a recovery flushable rom, i would pick one of the cm based because it's the smallest and this is to get you back. Load it onto your external sd card and flash as normal.

It's been on charge for 3 hours still trapped in this boot loop, it can do literally nothing else, not turn off or anything lol.
How do I flash any rom? I can't get into recovery, it's just boot looping over and over and not letting me do anything.
The screen is black for 5-8 seconds, then it will flash the twrp logo for a split second and go back to being black and repeat.
Holding the power button (with or without ANY combination of holding down volume buttons) all do the same thing, just reboots it into recovery which starts the above boot loop again.

Anyone know a way to force it out of a boot loop or a way to reset or flash the recovery or rom while its in the current state it is in?
Lol would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here.

So I went to go try what try mgp53's suggestion. Saw that the tablet had died. Booted it up, and i got stuck the samsung logo accept oddly enough there was nothing in the top corner. adb devices showed me nothing was attached to my computer so I just got mad and powered it back on and off while holding down different combinations of volume buttons, and I got into ODIN MODE! Says download, do not turn off target. Awesome! What do I do from here? I don't know what the state of my tablet is because I tried to wipe everything, including what shouldn't be wiped. So I guess I would have to restore everything including recovery.
Code:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-T320
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWAEV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
VDC START
Downloading...
Do not turn off target !!
What should I do from here? I'm at a loss because I don't want to mess it up more.
EDIT
UPDATE 1
I started by using ODIN 3.09 to flash the latest tar of twrp. Boot is still messed up on all accounts accept for when I hold volume up now, so now I can get into recovery again, awesome! Went through the directories through twrp, all the folders are literally empty lol, including where the super user binaries should be which troubles me a bit. Going to go ahead and flash a rom by sideload and see how it works out.
UPDATE 2
Attempting to sideload now. Getting mount errors for E:, unable to fun partition for path /sdcard, so something wrong with my internal storage. How am I to fix this? lol

You can try samobile, but they make you register. Also I don't know if they don't also use rapidgator.
Or maybe you can try this. Grab the cf autoroot tar. Flash that in odin. Then flash the twrp tar and your recovery should have root access letting you flash custom roms again. Just dl a small one like cm.

Ok cool! :good:
Thanks for all the help, got it fixed and runnings after using Odin for firmware, then to reroot, then Odin to flash philz recovery. Then flashed CM, running brand spanking new.
Oh oh, got the same problem here.
I used the guide from rootjunky on Youtube to install TWRP 2.8.0.1 with flashify but after flashing the tablet wont get into recoveryscreen from TWRP.
So i desided to get back to stock recovery and stock boot image (a made backups before) with the intention to flash TWRP 2.7.0.2 like in the video.
But after flashing the stock recovery the tablet hungs in a loop but i can get into recovery.
can someone explaine me haw to get my stoch recovery back? Or boot image? I don't know exactly wat the problem is, boot or recovery. I'm not to good at this.
And srry for my english, i'm from holland

Frozen on Samsung Logo

Hi. I was trying out Blisspop on this tablet and decided I preferred CM11 so decided to restore a backup. After rebooting, nothing turned on, only download mode worked so I just flashed stock firmware using Odin (which I had used successfully previously). Now it boots but gets stuck at the Samsung Logo. I can still get to download mode, but nothing else. I've read that if factory reset in the stock recovery, it'll work itself out but I can't even get to it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Dont panic really common problem happened to me.
1. Boot into recovery, if not flash one with odin coz your gonna need something...like philz touch or team win or whatever.
2. Wipe cache and dalvik, reboot and wait, samething might appear to happen but it should boot.
Basically ive noticed a few times now on my t805 that the cache wouldnt format propperly and became corrupt and caused this.
I knew this because in the recovery a bunch of errors appeared saying couldnt acces log from cache/blah zt each time i navigated the menu of revoveryand so i wiped cache and they stopped
Booted and viola...if you see any other errors in recovery tell us here.
Good luck m8.

The problem was that I couldn't even get into recovery. But found thread on xda that mentioned if you turn off the tablet from download mode (pressing power and volume down) then you can use the normal three button method to get to recovery. And then yes, I wiped everything I could and it finally booted back up. Thanks for the help mate.

Galaxy A50 Stuck on Boot

here's what happened, the phone started freezing and restarting every 5 mins, I uninstalled some apps thinking that's what's causing it, I used it for around 10 minutes and it was fine, installed the latest security patch update, restarted and everything looked fine.
plugged it in, saw it had restarted again and it was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy A50 secured by Knox screen,
rn: I can't enter recovery mode, (the phone won't shut down and releasing the volume down and holding volume up thing doesn't work)
I can only enter download mode, Connected to Odin, flashed the latest firmware and it passed successfully, but still it gets stuck and won't boot.
any ideas?:crying:

Are you sure you flashed correct firmware? Tried to factory reset in recovery? Full Wipe and then flash the firmware?
You can also try 'adb logcat' to see what the error is if adb is available..

Could it be a hard drive problem?
And I'm pretty sure i got the right firmware
Tbh not sure i got my A50 just recently, didn't even flash anything yet. Is you phone detected when you type "adb devices" in windows cmd?

tried it, it doesn't recognize the phone.
is there anyway to figure out if it's a hardware issue?
cuz I've heard it's a somewhat common problem in the A50 for the hard drive/storage to go corrupt.

I am having a very similar problem to yours, so I will follow this thread. I was using my phone two days ago and it simply turned itself off and since then I am stuck in the logo screen. When the phone is loading I have no indication whatsoever of the battery percentage at all. I still can access option and factory reset and wipe cache (unlike you, apparently - but it does nothing for me). This simply does not help. I end up back at the logo Samsung Galaxy A50 screen. I have downloaded two different firmware... android 9 and 10 from Samsung mobile, and have used Odin to flash it. The process goes through ok and without errors. I get the pass message and the message that the phone is being updated. Then it is time for the logo screen again and form then on the phone simply does not start. I am lost. Can anyone help?

I am having a very similar problem to yours, so I will follow this thread. I was using my phone two days ago and it simply turned itself off and since then I am stuck in the logo screen.

hey there.
apart from the factory reset thing it seems like we have quite the same problem,
at this point I'm afraid it might be hardware thing

You know... I am not really sure. The only different thing I did was to accept to instal a new firmware one or two days prior. I am inclined to think that was it. Anyway... I tried to flash Android 10... Android 9 (both via Odin) and did not work. The support team instructed me to do the hard reset a couple of times ... and wipe cache and nothing. Today I sent my phone to Samsung assistance since it is still under the guarantee because that is what they thought I should do. I'll keep you posted. Hope you can get yours fixed soon.

yh I installed that update too and this happened later the same night.
unfortunately for me all the shops n services are currently shut down because of the Co-Vid situation so i have to wait for now.
thanks for sharing, lemme know what happens.
I've had these same problems before. When flashing with Odin, don't populate the last slot with anything (the HOME_CSC slot). Flash it to the device without auto reboot on, restart the device manually and hold vol up + down to get to blue scrern, then unlock bootloader. Let it restart, then reflash ROM.
