[Q] Getting flickering screen when entering recovery mode

Hello there,
I am new to this forum so tell me if I do something wrong
Today I decided to flash a custom ROM ( I already rooted it... ) and wanted to enter recovery mode to make a backup etc. etc.
But when I held Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button it first showed the samsung note II text and then started flickering with something like brown stripes...
Does anyone knows what it is and what the solution is for it?
Thanks in advance,
Ahmed
If you wanted to make a backup you should have a custom recovery so which one?
Which firmware or custom rom do u currently have?

I tried to flash the TWRP recovery with goomanager ( is it good and reliable? ), but the problem still appeared...
I will jump if someone could help me out of this
Thanks!
EDIT:
Can doing these kinds of things brick my phone or is my phone already bricked? ( the phone can start normally and works )

If you guys like a tough challenge then I may have one for you because I'm screwed right now
I have a Sprint Galaxy Note 2
I was on Synergy ROM
I wanted KitKat
I tried to Flash Omnirom for weeks with no success using TWRP
I read that the best recovery was Philz so I downloaded and flashed it
From Philz recovery I again tried to flash OmniRom with
gapps and failed again
I did not do a specific Philz backup as I already had one with TWRP (perhaps my big mistake)
Now, I can't restore my TWRP backup
I cant get to TWRP recovery
I cant boot my phone at all
Please, I'm hoping for a miracle here
Can anyone direct me?

Hi,
I did a similar thing to myphone. Called Samsung and was told to do this?
Hold the buttons like you are going into recovery mode. When you signs of life (it starting to power up), RELEASE the power button, but keep holding down home and vol +. This got me into stock recovery...hope this helps you.
Then just start all over...

Try using odin and flashing philz 6.07.9 ... to access twrp backups in philz select backup/restore then advanced options the check twrp. Now it will restore your twrp backups.

Did you get your phone back?
Rosy,I got my phone back briefly but wasnt able to get it to reset like yours
I ended up using odin to flash a version of TWRP that did override Philz recovery but everytime I switched batteries and restarted the phone it had all kinds of issues until today, when it died altogether. Now Im back where I started
On vacation and heading home tomorrow so Ill try Odin again.
That guy Phil never did reply to my issue in his own thread. Thats kind of rude
If everything else that you tried has failed why not flash a Stock Rom and start over from scratch or check out this post by @billard412 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 this has helped me bring my phone back to "life" a few times
Hoping this might help you too to bring your phone back to life

[Q] Burning hours of my life away on a tab 3 SM-T210

Hi Guys, I have had a tab 3 passed to me to take a look at its an sm-t210 and I am really struggling to get it working.
I can boot to download mode and I can boot to stock recovery mode but it wont actually the OS load up.
I have tried flashing the stock rom from sams and my eyes actually sting from reading so many posts on this now.
The furthest I can get is rebooting after flashing the stock firmware then its stuck on the system recovery with E failed to verify whole-file signature, signature verification failed.
I have tried with the latest 4.4.2 to the 4.1.2 and it just gets stuck in to a boot loop as only half the installation is completing.
Tried pretty much everything and just at the end of my tether now
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you kindly in advance

Hi, Thank you for getting back to me..
I have not installed a custom recovery, it is the stock from samsung-updates.com 7.0_WiFi/SM-T210/BTU/T210XXBNI1 (4.4.2) I have been trying to get working but that just goes in to a hard repeating boot up loop once finished in oden that wont let me access recovery.
I have re flashed with samsung-updates.com 7.0_WiFi/S_M-T210/BTU/T210XXAMKF (4.1.2) which gets me a little further as it then spits up a signature verification error while trying to update in the stock recovery program.
I have tried numerous others from reading through posts on here and they all fail at the signature verification or get stuck in a repeating boot up loop.
I cant post links yet as I am a new member, I can take screen shots though i think if you need them for reference.
Thank you kindly in advance
Please tell me , you are The first owner, or is a second Hand one.?
Wy i ask , at Download you can See The Staus as Custom, so it was modified.
Try a factory reset, Wipe cache from The recovery and try to reboot.

It belongs to my friend's son who had it new and I am unsure what exactly he has done to it. I was just given it to try repair as I am usually quite sharp at fixing things.
Yes I noticed that box says custom but was unsure as I have already tried doing factory reset and wipe cache I thought it would return it to stock but it seems to have no effect.
OK, my last idea,
1.Download a customrom for exp. Nolekat to a ext.Sdcard and put this to your Tab
2.Download a Custumrecovery lastet Version ( The one with KK extension ) to your PC i prefere CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433853
3.go into Download mode and follow the Guide from the link.
4. Important , after flashing with Odin boot with the 3 Buttons to the Recovery and flash the Customrom.
Good luck and a happy New year 2015

The Cwm is the Version 6.0.4.9 KK ? Important is KK.
Have you tried to flash the Nolekat with ext.Sdcard Form the Recovery and than try to reboot?
A other important question, repartion was unchecked by Odin !
Can you go to the Download mode?

I have not got an external SD card yet though I am about to go out and will pick one up.
yes, I can get in to download mode and I can also get in to the other mode when the stock rom is flashed.
I have not given up yet and I have not repartition or anything damaging in Odin
Will get stuck in to it and have another go soon, thank you kindly for all the advice and help so far too! )
Happy new year!

Ok here is where I am at. I was unable to get an external SD card today. Is there any other way to get this device working?
When I flash T210_CWM_6.0.4.9.KK.tar.md5 it does not let me access recovery mode, it just hangs on a black screen but I can still get to download mode.
I have to re flash Stock rom so it gives me back recovery mode but does not complete as shown before with screenshot.
I am just going around in circles now and about to tell my friend he needs to get a new one sadly.
Updated screen shot
This is its current state in recovery mode after flashing stock rom.
Try doing a factory reset there in the recovery and wipe the cache. Then see if it will reboot.
Tried everything pretty much..

Okay, so you're in stock recovery. You need to reboot to download mode. Next you need to flash a custom recovery with Odin. I recommend TWRP. You also need to download the most recent supersu zip. Once you're in the custom recovery of your choice, flash the supersu zip and reboot. Congratulations, you are now on rooted stock!

Thank you but i have tried that already. Same result, i cannot get in to custom recovery after flashing it, i can then only get back in to download mode and this aching process repeats over and over.
I am throwing in the towel, this device is bust.
Thank you all for your efforts

What do you mean by factory mode? Does it boot to system (normal launcher)? And what ver. and type of recovery did you try to flash? What was the last firmware/OS did you used before this happen?
Try look up for USB jig thread.

Yes it boot into launcher, it's working fine. I tried Twrp using flashify I think that's where the error comes from. I'm using the stock firmware. 4.1.2
