[Q] Glide wont reboot stright into Recovery

I am not new to the concept of rooting and loading a custom rom. This is the 3rd android phone that I have bothered with. However it is the first one I have had to use Odin to root or push files to.
I have used CarpeNoctem's writeup on how to root and utkanos' CWMR port writeup. Ofter verifying I had root, I decided I would try out Carpe's OsiMood. No problem right? Here is where I am wondering what if anything went wrong on the previous steps.
I made a back up ofter finally getting it to recovery mode, and when I tried flashing the new rom, it would not complete the process.
As it sits, when I choose recovery from CWM it reboots to the android with triangle screen(see attached video). What concerns me is the lack of fluidity into the recovery, the fact that it loads in only after the battery is removed and the phone is turned back on and lastly that I cannot flash a new rom.
It appears as though I need more posts to add my link for youtube.
Please add standard youtube weblink before this to watch the video.

What would you recommend my first action be?
Thanks,

This also quite unfortunate for ROM manager, "somewhat", not working fully for the Glide (yet). I can't really go into 3e/CWM recovery with the app, but manually (volume down + power/lock button) has no problems. This also happens on my Captivate (SGH-I896/7), I need to restart the device for a second time to boot into recovery. As per your flashing issues, you might need to mount /system manually and then flash the ROM, when it fails, try and try again, always happens to me from stock rogers ROM. Also, if you have Titanium Backup, it now supports reboot device features (recovery and hard reboot)

Thanks for your insight. I tried volume down and power before but when I saw the samsung logo pop up I figured it wouldn't work.
I will try flashing again and report back. Thanks again.

Tried flashing again, worked great. If only the glide had more support. Lol.
Currently running OsiMood.

My glide does not boot. I can get into Download Mode. I can NOT get into de recovery mode. I think my NAND is corrupted.
How can I mount the /system partition? Because I flashed too many roms with ODIN, but nothing, still not booting, I get stuck in the samsung logo.

Use Odin to reflash recovery,you backups should still be there unless like you say maybe they got corrupted as well,but its worth a shot.

I've already flashed the stock recovery, the CWM, a lot of kernels, even I tried to flash the kernel and bootloader of the Galaxy S II, but nothing.
I'm starting to think that maybe is a hardware problem. Hope not, but I'm not moving foward.

If you havent already,pull out the sim and sd card.
Reboot your pc and download a fresh up to date Odin.
So when you flash it says it successful and then just doesnt boot?
I had a boot loop once ,had me stumped and it turned out to be my sd card was poached and caused the loop.

Exactly... It goes all over the process bar, says succesfull, the phone turns off, and nothing. The phone not even restart itself, I have to remove the battery, put it back again, and then it turns on, but just to show me the samsung logo.
I've used the ODIN version 1.85 and the new one 3.04. But nothing. This is so frustating.

Please, tell me there is a solution...

There are one alternative to boot
1. Shut down and then restart phone in recovery mode. For the Samsung Captivate Glide, this required pressing the power, volume down and home keys all at the same time.
2. The initial screen which appears gives you a choice of loading a replacement OS (volume up) or entering recovery mode (volume down). Note you have to hold the volume down key for several seconds before the recovery mode menu appears.

phone will not go into recovery mode

ok so i had posted lat night where for what ever reason after being rooted and having wicked rom running after doing a nandroid back up phone wouldn't go past boot screen. every time i try to go to recovery it shows samsung boot screen and see on top that it is going into recovery mode. after like 2 seconds it reboots and goes back to boot screen. i was able to get into download mode and flashed stock rom in odin. every things works fine as far as that. one strange thing is the phone sd card is pretty much full. i have done a factory reset every thing was back to normal. once again phone memory is full. i have loaded the root file on my ext sd card. load a recovery through odin. that works fine. still won't go into recovery. how can i fix this issue. i really just want the stock rom with recovery and root so i can run a few programs that require root. also how much extra space should i have on the phone memory after loading stock rom back up. any help would be greatly appreciated. btw this is not my first time having a rooted and custom rom phone. i had all that working on my htc amaze 4g.

lol wow. don't know how that worked. every time before when i wanted to get into recovery i held it until it actually went into recovery. thanks:good:

My phone is verizon s4 sch-i545 when I try to boot up in recovery mode it shows booting in recovery but it just boots up normally .I wanted to do a factory reset but the factory reset just restarts my phone and when I try to get into recovery mode for a hard reset I cant boot into recovery mode. I don't know what to do

For recovery, try holding down the volume up, home and power button. Once the phone starts to boot, release the power button only. Keep pressing the volume up and home button. When you see the dead android, release all buttons.

[Q] [HELP] stuck in bootloop/soft brick.

I was using PA rom for a few months and everything was fine until my gnex suddenly bootloop for no reason. Wasn't flashing a new rom, or tweaking anything. Phone just crash and when i try to reboot it, it just stuck in a bootloop. Showing google, then animation screen and afterwards reboot again back to google and animation and keeps repeating.
Phone info:
-rooted
-bootloader unlocked
-on custom rom (PA ROM)
Attempt to fix problem:
-flash a diff rom ( still boot loop )
-factory reset,wipe system cache etc. ( still boot loop )
-flash factory image 4.3 ( still boot loop ) [All is done through adb, manually flash each radio,bootloader, system etc one by one ]
-flash factory image 4.0 ( still boot loop )
So currently i'm on stock android, stock recovery, stock bootloader, stock baseband etc. But it is still bootlooping, anyone know what can i do?
ps, i did search through the forum, most people got pass this problem through flashing stock image, but mine doesn't

did you erase and then flash userdata?

Similar to my problem, hope it someone knows an answer.

Same problem!
Not to hijack your thread, but I'm having the same problem -
My phone was charging and working fine. I left the room and came back and the phone was stuck at the "Google" bootloader screen. I pulled the battery and reinserted. It went to the Cyanagen boot animation, then froze. Subsequent battery pulls resulted in it freezing at the Google screen.
I can not access recovery (power + vol up + vol down), but I can access the Odin download screen (power + vol down). Odin will connect to my phone, but I can't reflash the stock firmware. After attempting to flash the firmware my phone shows the phone-triangle-computer screen regardless of what buttons I push during start up. I can still connect to Odin, but can't reflash stock. I receive the "complete write failure" message each time. I've tried switching USB ports and USB cords without success.

Any tips? Do I need to reload the PIT file? Thank you!

I finally got thru the phone to pc fail screen by using a older version of Odin(3.04).Then the flash went thru w/o a hitch. Is your PC recognizing the Phone? If not the drivers may need to be uninstalled and reinstalled. I had to use the samsung usb cord and no other also.

Yup, my PC recognizes the phone. I can push partial tar files (for example, recovery only) to the phone just fine. I'll try a different version of Odin. Thanks!

Fire phone with FOS 4.6.6.1 alive again!

Hello everyone so this week I decided to root, flash custom recovery and of course flash a custom ROM in this case KK-FIRE-NEXUS-ROM. Anyway the phone booted it self into recovery and after I rebooted back to the OS and seeing the amazon boot animation it went black; it did not let me turn it on, not sign of power, I plugged the power cord with no signs of it charging then I constantly pressed key combination to boot into fastboot or recovery and it happened! It booted into fastboot and let my go into custom recovery. To make this story short and hopefully this helps others to not make mistakes; I tried to restore a back up of the stock ROM but it did not work. I tried to flash the stock ROM .bin format but it also did not work. I did all of this using my linux machine then I found this options in the recovery to select different ROMS within the recovery so you can boot into them well somehow it was changed to ROM(1) so I selected STOCK, rebooted and that was it. I got my phone working without having to flash anything! or messing up anything! ​
I hope this helps somebody or stops them from flashing something that will kill their phones!​

SM-T320 seems to be bricked. Doesn't boot up to OS, only goes to ODIN mode. How to start from scratch?

It's been a while since I've touched the tablet, and I'm hoping to bring it back to life. I can see that it's trying to boot up LineageOS, but the logo never stops loading. I can boot into odin mode, using vol down+ power, but that's about as far as I can go. How can I start over from scratch and get my tablet working again?

@AliMusa no TWRP recovery (Home, Vol-up, pwr)?
That would make it much easier.
Starting from scratch means flashing stock ROM with Odin.

I managed to get TWRP installed, but still can't get LineageOS to install and boot up. It just keeps showing the boot logo and then eventually goes back to recovery mode.

Wiped everything (not SD) plus "Format Data" ?
Same without Gapps, Magisk aso?
Tell us more what you're doing.

@AliMusa I was able to bring mine back by using a wall to micro-usb charger no USB plugs, I specifically used an old Nokia charger it's output was something small, I believe 700mah but it was the only charger that would get the device to boot to anything besides download.
