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.

boot into recovery(vol-up home pwr) and factory reset
Then boot to download mode(vol-dwn home pwr) and flash this in the pda slot of odin http://goo.im/devs/billard412/d2spr...s/(NO WIPE)Official_jb_lj7_rooted_deodex-1.7z
You can also do what he said go to recovery volume up and power plus home button and factory reset then flash a tw rom . Just helped my friend who did the same thing .I think the problem might be dirty flashing from tw to cm10 without factory resetting. Good luck this is just another way if you don't know how or don't have Odin.

You need to do vol up + home + power for recovery; down is download mode. Once in recovery just do a full system wipe, then flash it again. if you got stuck on a bootloop, you either didn't wipe correctly or flashed a bad zip with it, or a kernel that didn't match the framework.
Go into download, use Odin to reflash both, boot into CWM and restore backup (Assuming you did a backup).
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

Boot into recovery (power the device and press power + volume up + home at the same time), do a full wipe (wipe cache partition, wipe data/factory reset, format system, format preload) and make sure that you read the Rom's thread just to see if some additional step is needed and then reflash it. Flashing a new rom without doing a full wipe are the usual cause of bootloops. Take into consideration that you will lose data this way.
If you can't access recovery, then try booting into download mode (power + volume down + home) and flash an stock firmware with Odin PC.
Hope it helps...:good:

reboot into recovery, wipe and flash again. I've had to do this more than once when flashing a new rom. Also, when you wipe, wipe system, data, dalvik, and cache.
to reboot into recovery, hold power down until phone goes off. then hold power and volume up and let go when the samsung logo appears.
and relax, you're not bricked, just bootlooping.

Either wait 20 minutes or reboot in recovery by hold power+volume up+home buttons all at the same time and wipe cache and factory reset. Then reboot.

Ah oops. I read it with the volume down my bad. Just wiped cache then factory reset/wiped data. Its installing applications right now thanks!
You didn't wait long enough after flashing. Android is still in the process of initializing the os after a fresh flash and takes a while. If you'd have left it alone it would have eventually booted.
