Please help my phone is stuck at rebooting.

So I followed all of the instructions on the first post Android Open Kang Project | July 15 | Milestone 6:
Make sure you're on the latest CWM
MAKE A NANDROID
flash Darkside Superwipe
flash ROM
flash Gapps
flash Darkside Cachewipe
reboot
let phone sit for approximately 10 minutes
reboot
enjoy!
After letting my phone sit I tried to reboot it but it's just sitting here at Reboot phone and a little circle to the left of the text saying "Rebooting .. . " It's been on this screen for at least 15 min.
What should I do now?

if i was in your situation, i would just force shutdown( if that doesn't work ) pull the battery.
boot into recovery, flash darkside cache wipe, and then test if it still gets stuck when rebooting.
if it still hangs, boot into recovery and redo the whole process.

I appreciate your reply but how do I reboot into recovery if I can't reboot?

You can either hold the power button down for ~10 seconds or pull and replace the battery. If holding down power works, immediately press down volume up and volume down to get it into recovery. Otherwise do it after you put the battery back in.

Perfect thanks! I'll try it out.

Do I continue holding down the power button while pressing the volume up and then down buttons? or release and then push? And when do I push the volume buttons?

Press and hold volume up and down, press power until your phone vibrates, and keep holding the volume buttons until you're in the recovery menu.

Awesome! that did the trick I'm in recovery!

I'll just redo the whole process and then hopefully it'll work then.

For the wait ten minutes then reboot step am I supposed to just wait that the getting started page and then reboot or should I sign in and everything then wait and reboot?

I re did everything now it's just hung up on the Restoring screen. . .

don't know what you mean by restoring screen.
are you trying to do a nand restore and it's stuck?
or is it stuck on the boot screen animation?

[Q] Can't boot into CWM after failed odex??

Hi everyone...
I'm running the SlimBean 2.9 rom with the latest ktoonsez kernel, and I tried running the Odex Me apk from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839445
After about 15 minutes of it sitting at the boot screen, I figured I'd just give up, pull the battery, boot into CWM and revert to the backup I made just before... except it won't boot into CWM. At all. I hold down VolUp+VolDown and Power and let go of power once I see the Samsung logo as per usual, and it just continues into booting SlimBean. I've tried letting go of the power button at different times to see if it was just a timing issue, and I can't for the life of me figure out why it won't boot into recovery. It also just sits at the boot screen, so I can't get to recovery from my power menu.
I've searched for other people mentioning the same problem, no luck. I'd post this directly to the Odex Me post, but unfortunately I haven't posted 10 times to XDA and aren't able to post to the Development forums.
Is there any way I can restore my phone to that back up without booting into recovery via the hard keys? What's the resolution for a situation like this? Thank you for your help in advance!

Hold volume up for recovery. Volume down is for download mode.
Or get goo or rom manager and reboit recovery from within the app.

You know what, I'm a huge dumbass. Recovery is VolUp + HOME + power... (facepalm)
Mods, if you wanted to delete this threat, I would be totally into that. Thanks!

No worries. You are at least the 5th person to do the exact same thing today. Probably were more that I just didnt see!

[Q] Trouble rooting SGH-T999

I'm absolutely confused with how to root my SGH-T999 properly. I know I'm suppose to use the search function and read everything and anything before I post a thread, but I'm seriously overwhelmed with what's what.
So far, I'm trying to follow this guide, but when I go check the md5, it says it's not a match between the file I downloaded and the md5 # on the download page. I figured that since my phone is 4.1.1, I should use this image, but again, I try to check the md5 sums, but it comes out as not a match.
So I'm super paranoid that I might mess something up and brick my phone.

I'm betting you checked the md5 after extracting it. The md5 on the download page is for the file exactly as you downloaded it.
You don't have to worry about an update 'path'. You can get the latest and flash it as per the instructions.

Oh thank god. Yeah, I was checking the extracted file. Thanks for clearing that up.
One more question: Let's say I want to use CyanogenMod 10. Once I've rooted my phone with this method, I could get ClockworkMod recovery (via ROM Manager from the app store) and download the CM10 mod and install the CM10 that way?

Yes. Make sure you follow all the flashing instructions from the thread. You could also install goo manager and install TWRP and find roms through there as well

Yeah, you can use TWRP or CWM to flash roms. It's preference. You don't HAVE to have CWM to flash CM10.
I never used TWRP, but I'm absolutely content with CWM. Hasn't failed me once. Don't fix what's not broken, right?

Alright ****. I think I messed something up.
I installed ROM Manager and downloaded CM10. I then went through the options of rebooting it and installing. But now it's stuck at a spinning circle with "CyanogenMod" in the center. I have no idea what to do or how to get out of it. I've tried forcing it to power down by holding down the power button or doing the three button press (volume down, home and power), but either way, it just shuts down, vibrates a little and reboots itself back to the spinning logo screen.
EDIT: Ok so I've pulled the battery and went into recovery mode. Then I "wiped data/factory reset" and I think I got it to work now. It seems to be at the CM10 home screen now

Pull the battery. Once the screen is black. Put the battery back and boot into recovery(Vol up, home, and power).
When you installed CM10, did you factory reset, wipe cache, and dalvik cache?

Yeah. That's exactly what I did. Pulled the battery, put it back in, factory rest and wiped data. I'm not sure about the dalvik cache though. Once I got to the ClockworkMod recovery mode/screen, I just went to the "wipe data/factory reset option"

[Q] [VK810] Can't Boot into TWRP With Hard Keys

I am rooted with TWRP 2.7.0.2 installed. I can boot into TWRP using the Quickboot app, but not using the button combo (power+vol. down, when the logo appears release power, while still holding vol. down push power and vol. up). Does anyone know how to get into TWRP on the Verizon VK810 from a powered off device?

Just be super quick...(think power on/sound down - power off then all 3 at once. Recovery will display.
MAKE a recovery backup! Be safe.

Thanks for helping, Cal. No matter how quick I am, it just restarts to the logo, even if I start before I see the logo. If I hold the three buttons for a long time, I get the ieme screen to flash for about a second. Also, if I hold down the power and volume down for a long time I get stock "System Recovery", the one with the 4 options. From there I can either reboot, wipe cache, factory reset or power off.

Make sure you are shutdown. All must be off - Then start the button hold process to 'recovery'.

I've been doing that, to no avail. Curious thing, though. I booted into System Recovery by pushing the power+volume down. I was given 4 options. Factory reset, power off, wipe cache and safe boot. I use the volume rocker to get to "wipe cache", push power to select, and it takes me to TWRP. I can get there now from a powered off state, which is the goal, I just don't know why.

If it works, Great! Why worry 'why'!!
New to me! Still on the 500.

I had problems getting into recovery also. To resolve this issue, I just downloaded reboot recovery from the play store. Works like a charm.

spiceditup and cal, what device do you have? 500 does not equal vk810 unfortunately for us poor saps who sit under the verizon throne.

I use Quickboot. It works too. The thing is, if I ever have a boot loop or brick my device, I'll have no way to get into recovery with Quickboot.
Do you have TWRP installed and are you having the same problem I am, namely the button combo doesn't work?
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app

As far as I know, the only way of getting into TWRP from a powered off state on the VK810 is by selecting an option from the stock recovery such as "Factory Reset". Wipe Cache performed the same thing, trying to pass a command off to the rest of the stock recovery, but since it's been replaced with TWRP, TWRP is simply loaded and the command (no matter if it's Factory Reset or Wipe Cache) isn't executed.
For example, it works the same way with the LG G3, at least on Verizon.

Good to know that I didn't mess something up. I searched the Web, but couldn't find anything that even remotely said what you said above. Thanks for clarifying it.

You're welcome! I was totally surprised the first time I found out my LG devices used that "stock recovery front end" and that you can't boot directly to custom recovery from power off. I meant to add that if anyone found I was full of bat guano to please correct anything I said.

Screwed up my Tab S 10.1 (wifi)... I think.

So, my rooted tab s was starting to run out of memory and I couldn't figure out what app was hogging all the memory. I also noticed that when I deleted apps and restarted the tablet, I would see the "android is optimizing apps" pop up and once loaded, my deleted apps would have been reinstalled. Wierd.
In my infinite wisdom, I decided to reboot into recovery and wipe it and restore my twrp backup. Well, I got ambitious and like an idiot, decided to pretty much check all the boxes on the advanced wipe. Got to the restoration step of my disaster. It fails. "error 255". Can't do anything. If I click on reboot system, I see "No OS Installed! Are you sure you want to reboot?"
I'm screwed aren't I? I am paying some hefty stupid tax I am sure.

Did you try flashing a fresh stock or any other rom, not a backup? It should fix it.

Not yet. Kind of afraid to turn it off to remove the SD card to do that. I need to find one and do that now. Thanks for saying that though, gives me hope that I haven't ruined it.

From what you have said seems like its not a big deal, so try flashing a proper stock rom first. You can find in many threads how to flash with Odin and twrp and what to wipe. Just follow the steps correctly and you should be fine.

I downloaded the most current firmware on Sammobile. I had used Ash's all in one to root it to begin with so once I flashed the firmware, I ran the all in one again. Flashed a new Rom, gapps, and updated twrp, I am up and running again. And better than before.

Yeah, I appreciate your input. And I realize what I did was pretty dumb. But, since I don't live behind a computer monitor, I was a bit rusty. I wanted to share my unfortunate experience.
