Hello, I made a very foolish decision today. I just recently rooted my phone (i747), and i am still not familiar with roms or flashing or any of that. I installed the Rom Manage app by clockworkmod onto my phone. I did no other preperation other than creating a backup through that app on my phone. Then using that app, i downloaded the CyanogenMod 10.1, directly onto my phone. It then gave me the option to wipe data which i chose not to do. It then started the installation of the rom. Everything started off okay and it looked like it installed. When it rebooted it got stuck on the CyanogenMod circle boot and no matter what i try i cannot fix it.
I cannot stress this enough. I am very new to this stuff and am not exactly sure how everything works. It is my mistake and i understand it was the outcome of my stupidity. However, all I am trying to do is fix my phone. When i try to boot into recovery mode (power, home, and up vol) it just restarts still in the boot logo. Whenever i press power, home, and volume down it says "booting a custom rom can harm your device are you sure?" but whether i choose yes or no it is still stuck.
Sorry about all the text, but can somebody please explain to me in the most noob friendly way possible how i can just get my phone in working condition? Thanks for your time
Try booting into recovery this way, in this button pressing order: Vol up + home + power. When your phone vibrates and you see the blue text in the top left corner of the screen, release just the power button.
If this gets you into recovery, you can wipe data, cache and dalvik (under advanced) to see if this clears your issue.
For future reference, don't flash ROMs in rom manager. Only use that app to update or install recovery.
Thanks, that got me into recovery mode. I wiped the dalvic cache, and did a factory reset, but I am still stuck in the boot

I would suggest to download the CM10 ROM from their thread, and copy it to an external sd card. You can reflash it from the sd card in the recovery menu.
ya, now that you know how to successfully get into recovery, i would flash a rom and gapps again via that route. check out the link in my signature. its got some stuff to look over for a safe and smooth backup & installation
Thanks!

maybe you tried to make an advanced data wipe and selected internal storage, dalvic, cache, etc.
what you need to do is put the phone in recovery mode again, select install and then scroll down to find the OS zip that was broke when wiping, after flashing be sucessful reboot system. then turn off the phone again o get it in recovy once more, select install, scroll down but this time you must to install Gapps. to conclude you need to flash OS and Gapps again through recovery mode.
hope this help

Ok, I am having a MAJOR ISSUE. On OMJ's ROM. I'll probably re-post tomorrow morning, because I need help. I downloaded the new ROM using ROM Manager. Then I cleared off the storage using clockwork, and flashed the new ROM from the phone. The market was broken, and Titanium wasn't working. Then I tried re-wiping so that I could restore my backup, and from clockwork it said that the backup was having an error. Now I can't get out of the fastboot screen. When I hit reboot, the phone boots into fastboot... Can someone please help?
When I turn on my phone, I have the white screen with the skateboarding android robots at the bottom. At the top is green words starting in SUPERSONIC.
My options are:
Bootloader
Reboot
Reboot Bootloader
Power down

this doesn't belong in the development section. should be in Q&A.
but, turn off your phone and hold the volume down key and the power button. you should get the skateboarding androids but your bootloader should have an option to go to recovery. not sure exactly what you did, but once you get into recovery just flash another rom.
Sorry bout the location. It goes into the damn clockworkmod recovery screen when I do this. When I go to install zip from sd card, and choose the omj one, it just kinda skips over it, the screen goes back to the menu like it did do something, then I hit reboot, and I'm back on the skateboard screen. Gawd I hope I didn't brick it.

OMG, I did what you said, and I cleared it twice more, and it let me flash! Now should I go back into the recovery menu and clear my factory settings, and wipe dalvik etc to be sure?

if you already cleared your data and did a factory reset then you're set. just flash a rom and you should be good to go.
it's not a brick if your phone turns on btw.
I'm not sure if it works for the evo or not but try connecting to the computer and typing fastboot oem boot
That should reload you to where you were.
Then once your in your phone, just start from a clean slate by re rooting and copying the pc36img from toast tut. And running that.
BTW. Sorry if I sound drunk. It's because I am. I'll fix my post tomorrow if i read it.

If u made a clockwork backup reboot doing down and power buttons. Go to partitions., mount sdcard and plug your phone in to computer.. put a rom on the root of your sdcard,. Hit unmount sdcard,. Hit power,. Install zip from sdcard,. Then volume up once and you should see the rom zip you put on the sdcard, . Hit it and u should be all good from there..

As title, i restarted my phone and it just bootloop and i went into recovery and reflashed but still same. please advice.
Holding down power button and volume down simultaneously, during powering up.
Do not just turn off and turn on your phone because it will new HTC Sense, you will not enable the recovery mode.
Once you entered the recovery mode launch the tool, which we called update.zip.

You get bootloops right after you reflash and reboot? Or did you restore any apks and got the bootloop afterwards?
Get into CWM, wipe everything (system/data/cache/dalvik cache) and reflash the rom. This will certainly help And you should also check if the md5 sum of the downloaded file matches with the one Mike has posted.
Are you errased a cache ? Else, wippe it, and reboot..
Please help, my phone is stuck in at the "Google" boot screen.
I was currently on Paranoid 2.1 and installed the Circle Battery Mod. That messed up my UI, therefore I just booted back into Recovery.
I deleted cache, davlik, format system, format data, and wipe data/factory reset. I was going to re-install Paranoid, but decided to reboot instead because I wanted to download and installed the latest Paranoid.
I made a huge mistake and should have installed.
I rebooted and now I am stuck.
Please help. Thank you!

When you format /system, you are erasing your ROM, so you can't boot into Android anymore. Just boot into recovery and flash a new ROM.

If all else fails. You will need to use the Gnex toolkit, too put back the factory image.

There is no need to use a toolkit to do anything. Anything that a toolkit can you, you can do just as easily yourself, and usually with less issues.
How do I reboot into recovery?
I tried to boot by Power + Volume Down key and it takes me to Odin mode.
Thanks for all the help!

Again, really appreciate all the help.

Hold volume down and volume up and THEN push and hold power (probably for 3-5 secs until it vibrates). This will get you into the bootloader. From there, use the volume keys to navigate to recovery, and use the power button to select.
Everyone received a "Thanks!"
I did volume and then power and got into recovery!
XDA, is the Best!
Right on!

Hey all,
Hoping you guys can help me with an issue I'm having...
I was running the Dirty Unicorns new rom for my sgh-t989d and it was working awesome until I decided to backup my rom via recovery using rom manager. The rom failed to update, so I hit reboot and then it wouldn't boot just a black screen, but could still access download mode.
Have been trying to flash back to stock with odin but every stock rom is hanging up at the S animation in the boot. It just loops the colour animation.
My guess is because I need to wipe the cache and factory reset, but can't try that as I can't access CWM, only download mode for some reason.
Tried a few different versions of odin and different Telus and Koodo roms, nothing working yet.
Any tips are much appreciated, thanks in advance!
can you adb reboot recovery?
Try to reboot in recovery by pressing the Vol up, Vol down and power button. When you see samsung logo release power button while continuing to hold both the vol buttons. The phone should reboot into recovery.
Then wipe data, cache, dalvik and flash any rom of your choice.
Hope this helps.
:laughbviously you are responsible if your device blasts or something.:laugh:
SOLVED! I can get into manual mode now. Always held the buttons too ling until it would reboot, thanks for the suggestion.
Cleared the cache and reset a few times and now it's working. Thanks! Now back to re rooting and installing the rom again.
Hello,
I have a SGH-T989. I recently rooted it and installed cyanogenmod, with gapps and a custom kernel (AOSP UBER KERNEL). I think the kernel is the problem but i dont know how to attack it. Anyways, my phone is stuck on the cyanogenmod boot screen ( Teh one with the circle and cyanogenmod on the inside) and its not frozen, but wont go past that screen. So i tried booting into CWM Recovery, however, when i would i would get that screen as is i didnt have CWM ( the one with the warning about custom software, where u use volume up to continue and then install cwm with odin). So i just opened odin and installed cwm again, but now when i get into cwm, i see all the options,such as reboot system now, install zip from sd, wipe data, wipe ccache, backup, etc. However, i see it for about 5 seconds, then the screen goes black, then cwm comes up again and then repeat. I can go down like one option and then it goes black, then shows the same cwm screen again. Please help! Im a mad noob btw.

I'd suggest to use odin and flash TWRP 2.6.1.0 in download mode, reboot and go into TWRP and do a full advanced wipe, dont wipe preload or it will fail, if you really want to wipe preload, then go into settings and change it to use rm -rf instead of format, shouldnt really need it tho, after wiping just reflash rom/gapps, wipe cache/davilk and reboot.
Thanks for the response. Im sorry but, how do I do that? is download mode the screen you get to when you hold the power button and volume buttons, and then let go of the power button? That screen is CWM for me, and I cant do anything in that mode due to every 5 seconds it stopping and restarting (CWM itself, not the entire phone). Thanks.

Nope that's recovery, to get into download mode and flash TWRP recovery, make sure you have Odin3-v1.85 and the latest Samsung USB Drivers (Win 7/8/XP) and follow the instructions here, just ignore the part about rooting, get TWRP 2.6.1.0 flashed and then follow above posts suggestions.

You should be good, just make sure you didn't lose root access, I saw a post in the dev section with someone saying they lost root after flashing UBER kernel, but that might of just been something they did wrong on their end, not sure.
