Hello,
I'm trying to help my sister, she installed video editing app and after a few hours the phone restarted in downloading/Odin mode and can't get out of it. I tired battery pull, holding the power button and it just keep coming back to the same mode. I downloaded Odin and download the stock ROM but when I try to use odin it ask me for the .pit file.
Can anyone point me to the correct files?
thanks in advance!
If I try to hold vol up + home + pwr I get kernel panic mode. =/

Hey there.
I am boarding an airplane in a couple hours so I am urgently seeking help.
I am using akop b25. I was installing a Google music apk and my phone restarted. It then went into a boot loop.
When I turn the phone in using power+volume down, it boots into a screen like fast boot except it says ODIN mode in red at the top, under the android picture it says downloading.... do not turn off the target. The only thing I can do from here is battery pull or press the power button to activate "start", which just boots the device and back into boot loop.
Can anyone help me with this situation. Thanks alot
Try another button combo. Volume up and power button?
In recovery, reflash the rom. I'm not sure though how an apk install caused boot loops.

To get to fastboot the button combo is Vol Up + Vol Down + Pwr. From there select recovery and reflash.

Wow, epic face palm. I could have sworn fast boot was volume down only. Okay, I should be fine then.
Thanks a lot guys
I just flashed a rom and now my phone is stuck on the boot animation, I tried pulling battery and booting into recovery by holding the power and volume button, but the phone just starts up in odin mode. I flashed 4.2 yesterday and I wanted to go back to 4.1.2 and this is how I got into this mess.
can anyone help get into recovery?
thank you in advance.
press power and vol up and vol down... not just power and vol down (thats why you're going into ODIN mode)

no wonder....i cant remember the last time ive booted into recovery that way, used to just volume down and power on my other phone....thank you for the quick response
Ok I had to switch from twrp to CWM (mods would not install via twrp)
I found some instructions got odin etc.. but I screwed up. I installed the INTERNATIONAL CWM
the phone booted fine but when I rebooted to recovery it fails (black screen turns off after is says recovery booting)
now I can't get past that. anything I do always says recovery booting and fails. how do I get back to download mode to odin the right recovery?
OK got it fixed. apparently Just letting it sit for 10 mintues was enough to reset the boot trigger and it let me back into download mode and I flashed the CORRECT cwm hehe all good again !! pheewwww
Pull out the battery; hold volume down, power , and home button; while holding buttons down put the battery back in; when the phone vibrates let go of the power button but keep pressing the the home and volume down . This should bring you into download mode for odin
yep basically what I did. left the battery our a while and when I put it back in it permitted me into download mode

Is there anything else i can do? please help i love this phone lol
Make sure you were actually in download mode when you flash with Odin. (power + volume down + home key. Then press volume up when it prompts you to go into download mode) otherwise, have you tried flashing a different custom rom? It might just be a bad kernel.

ya ive done this. i actually got through the boot (the red pirate android mascot) and thought it was over but when it rebooted it just got stuck on the boot logo again /:
I had the same problem I can tell you my self that first MAKE SURE your doing the right steps to get back into download mode (btw if you can get back into download you can fix this with odin) don't bother trying to get into recovery soft brick is a soft brick... also it took me like 100 trys when mine bricked to get into download because I didn't follow directions.
here
for odin and download mode
(eg: for Odin)
Unplug the USB cable.
Shut down the phone.
Hold down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME DOWN' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 2 seconds until a WARNING! Screen appears. Press the 'VOLUME UP' button to enter Download Mode.
To get out of Download Mode, simply press and hold the power button until the phone restarts
for recovery mode
Unplug the USB cable.
Shut down the phone.
Hold down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME UP' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 5 seconds to enter Recovery Mode.
[edit]Download Mode
don't worry if you get a boot at all its not hopeless.... took me two days to unbrick mine and now I know how to fix it which is cool with me.
if need more specifc advise ask and I will post links to download reocvery you can flash to fix phone once you get into download which you will

So dude, make sure you're using the right ROM for the right model. since you didn't provide any of that info in the OP you may not get much help from here.

Ok so, Galaxy note 2 Gt-n700.
One day randomly turns off (not rooted/flashed). Go to turn the device back on and it gets stuck in a boot loop on the first screen, keep rebooting till it ran out of battery.
tried to go into recovery mode Vol up +middle +power. Nothing.
Then tried the other one.. Vol down + middle + power
hit continue at the firmware install and get RPMB: INVALID RPMD Data
Now googling this comes across alot of advice for PIT files and ODIN. when i tried to "install" this it comes up with an error that i cannot remember at the moment on ODIN basically saying cant its broke.
I have now got the phone saying that there is a firmware update and to connect to KIES and do emergency recovery. The damn phone will not connect to KIES and i have reinstalled KIES and all the drivers 500 times. Tried all usb ports.
Now im about 5 minutes from throwing this phone off a wall.
Can anyone help.
Much helps needed.
What ROM did you use before that happened?
If you not on 4.3 bootloader, try to flash oldest stock, one file, firmware through odin.

Is your phone still going in bootloops?Try to enter download mode by pressing volume down+home button without pressing power and see if still goes into download mode.If it does then your power button is faulty.Two scenarios to that either power button is stuck on "pressed" mode which you can resolve by taking out the cover and screws and pushing out the power button (look up youtube video) or worse the power button needs to be replaced totally.If power button is working fine try what the above user stated flash the previous working stock version or flash the latest 4.4.2 stock ROM and see if it bootloop is resolved.
im having the same problem how did you fixed it ??
