I'm freaking out...I can't get boot into recovery. The Hyperdrive boot animation loads when I try to boot into recovery AND bootloader. When I turn on the phone it only gets to the Hyperdrive boot animation and freezes there. I have tried pulling the battery. The computer doesn't recognize my phone. :crying:
I was going to flash a new ROM and I did the normal routine; factory reset/data wipe, format system, data, cache, etc. When I tried to flash the Carbon ROM I got an error message and ever since then I have been stuck. Please help
***just booted into recovery - phew...my heart was stopped

I have the Telus SGH-T989. Rooted, latest CWM Recovery Touch installed. Was running Darkside Evolution 7 and the phone would not "properly" restart itself - would hang at black screen with buttons lit up until I pulled the battery. Booted fine when I did that, but I didn't want to deal with it every time so decided I would flash a new ROM. Well, never quite made it that far... CWM hangs on "formatting cache" when I select wipe data/factory reset. After sitting there for a while, it restarted and went into a boot loop. I can get it back into CWM, but it continues to hang if I try formatting the /cache or installing a new .zip. I cannot get the phone into download mode to use ODIN, it only goes to the battery charging display or CWM.
I tried searching a bit, but it seems the other threads are having the opposite problem - can get into download mode but not CWM.
Anything I can do to fix this from CWM, or will I have to build a cable "jig" to trick the phone into download mode?
Kill the battery and try to get into download mode or try to get into cwm

Well. I am now at a complete loss... I was letting it cycle restarting to run down the battery, and after the 30th or so time, it booted up fine and stayed running. Gonna hold off attempting updates or anything until I can rig up a cable jig in case it goes again.
I normally do...
Wipe Data/Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
install zip from sdcard
go to Advanced
Wipe dalvik cache
Wipe battery status
Fix permissions (just incase)
Reboot Device
wait about usually 3-8 minutes depends on the ROM. if it's longer then that then your stuck in a boot loop
this is all on done on CWMR v6.0.1.5
Please help
I am having the same problem. Also it is in bootloop and i am not able to boot the phone.
I was wondering if anyone can help me out with the boot loop my Note II is stuck on. I was running My Rom and decided to download and try MY UI rom. I downloaded the rom and using Rom Manager I had the phone boot into recovery wipe and install. The phone booted into recovery and and started to wipe like it normally does. It gets as far as Formatting /data but then reboots. It goes back into recovery and does the Formatting /data and reboots again. I tried taking the battery out waiting a little bit and put it into download mode so I can flash with odin but it just boots into recovery and starts to wipe and reboots. Any ideas on how to fix this?
So I had an I747 with ATT running on SuperNexus (d2att Build 4), and I tried to flash to the latest ATT Lean Kernel. Cleared cache/dalvik, flashed, and rebooted. Phone would boot to the Samsung logo and shut down, whereas it used to load a Nexus boot animation afterwards (at least I think it shut down, the screen would be black and not do anything). I couldn't enter recovery at that point, and without a backup I just went ahead and flashed stock image with Odin without being able to reset to factory or clear the caches. Needless to say, I'm now unrooted with no custom recovery, and now the Samsung logo hangs after going through the animation, just glowing. I still can't get into recovery (it shows the initial Samsung screen saying it's going into recovery, but then reboots), but I can get into download mode. Not really sure what to do. I've got a job on the line, and I need to just get it in working order. I'd appreciate any help!
EDIT: Flashed TWRP with Odin successfully, can enter Recovery. Wiped cache/Dalvik and factory reset. Reboot. Phone goes through Samsung animation and ATT animation, and then hangs at glowing Samsung logo. Still don't know what to do.

Can you load a rom and kernel on a SD card and flash it ? Are you still unable to get into download mode ?
If you cant load a rom on an sd card then try download mode and just flash this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
in odin. It will reroot you and you can go from there.
if you're able to use the above attached link to get your device up and going again (with root), you'll have to install a custom recovery again. not a big deal, just didnt want you to boot into recovery to flash something and find yourself in stock vs custom recovery. cheers!
Hey guys,
I've got an LG G3 (D855), I've decided to flash it after wanting to go back to CM. I rooted with purpledrake, then installed TWRP.
Once there I downloaded Liquidsmooth, I backed up and did a wipe then tried to install the rom. It installs fine but the boot animation just loops over and over - I've left it for a while but it doesn't seem to want to boot.
I thought it was a corrupt download so I re-downloaded LS, and also downloaded CM12, after booting into recovery, wiping and flashing both it still doesn't want to get past the boot animation. I even rebooted into recovery and wiped the dalvik cache and no change.
I can reboot into recovery and restore from my backup, so the phone is fine but I just want to know why it doesn't want to boot when I install a custom rom.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi, i have an I9195 and a huge problem.
Until recharge in the night, the phone shutdown for any reason.
I had flashed Cynagenmod 12.1 on it, so i have CWM Recovery. After it doesnt started and hang in the startscreen of Cynagenmod(the blue Alien or whatever it is ), i entered Rcovery mode and tried to wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache. Nothing happened and when i started Recovery i also got and Error:
Can't mount /cache/recovery..
I tried to format the cache and wipe it, but anything helps.
So i decided to go back to stock. i downloaded the stock rom and flashed it threw odin. But when i entered Recovery, the CWM Recovery is still there. This shouldn't, because the stock rom flashes his own recovery, didn't she? But well, i tried to start the Phone but hang in a bootloop. I only see the Samsung logo, then it restarts after a while. I think because i couldnt wipe the cache.
But well, so i thought about to flash TWRP Recovery. But well, get trolled by odin and my phone again, still enters the CWM recovery. When i flashed threw odin, no error occured and all flashes ended with success.
What can i do now?
