I can`t get the phone in recovery mode.
Here is the issue:
Running Jedi mind trick rom three weeks. One day the phone restarted and got stuck in the boot screen.
The phone restarted and eventually keeps vibrating without display
After trying many times i did got in recovery mode so i could install the rom again (using darkside super wipe and then the rom). After one day it crashed again and again i installed an different rom which also crashed after several hours.
Now i can`t even get to download mode, Is this hardware related or do i need to use an usb jig to get this working again?
Does your phone screen turn on and at least show the Samsung logo? If not, and you said button combo presses do not work using a USB Jig will be your way to go to get back in to download mode.
By the way, did you flash the correct ROMs specifically for our phones? You shouldn't have experienced and crashes. Also, for the vibrating issue without the display, it had been mentioned that it could also be due to a stuck/dirty power button. If you can try, clean up around it.

Yes it does show the samsung logo at starting up but after that it turns off with 1-2 seconds vibrating intervals.
I already cleaned the power button but without any satisfaction.
I did dropped the phone monday but not from a great heigth.
estimated: 1mtr above ground
Yes i did. I used the guides from galaxy2root.com
Well, if you were able to use a USB Jig to get into 'Download mode', get a stock ROM from here and flash it through Odin which is also included in the link. Good luck!
And also when it's plugged in it only flashes the LG screen.
I was testing some ports.
Here's everything I've tried.
While plugged in:
1. Doing nothing = Phone flashes the LG boot up and stays in a backscreen (phone still on)
2. Holding down Volume Up and power while plugging in phone: Lights alternate between red and captive buttons.
3. Letting go of above: Phone stays on black screen
4. Volume down plus power: phone turns off and flashes red notification
5. Letting go the above: Phone boots back up to black screen.
6. Numbers 2 and 4 again with Holding Volume UP and Power after letting go: alternating captive and notification light
Finally,
I think I hard bricked my phone.
Any help
I'm going to LGNPST soon.
If i remember right, someone else had the same thing. Xboxfanj said they had to lgnpst . Think his phone did the same.

This happened to me!!!!!!
hold all three buttons get into download mode, then hold it again to shut off. Wait 5 minutes while completely shut off,then plug the phone in for about 5 minutes. Lastly go to bootloader and then recovery from there.
Do this exactly like I have it.
Tell me how it goes.

I'm having a similar problem and I'm going to try what you just suggested, sharkboy. I'll report back soon.

Maybe I wont, I can't even get it to go to download mode...
Yes i had the same problem. Had to lgnpst to take root off. Then take it to sprint because my phone would still not do anything after i lgnpst.

I couldn't go into download mode at first either. The only way i could into download mode is if my phone was charging using the AC Adapter.

Mine did this today for no reason and I was finally able to get into the bootloader and get into recovery from there. I wiped cache and rebooted and it has been working since.
So it was a combination of things; however I did have to regret back to v7 but then after my phone couldn't go back into recovery after shutting off.
I did what shark boy mentioned above. With another variation, basically holding volume up and down until it shutoff and came back on, this allowed me to go into recovery. Granted I'm a little scared of shutting off again despite the fact I wiped.
The punishment for attempting to port CM9.
I think I'm going to write a guide helping people recover their device. Since I went through this.
Guide will basically list adb commands, LGNPST (as much information without linking to the URL), helpful button sequences and whatnot.

Did you happen to make that guide? My phone is doing the exact same thing...
Didn't do anything overly special... used the automatic "RootOptimusG-English" root method, followed by FreeGee and it worked peachy...made a few backups via TWRP as I went.. (raw, apps loaded up)
It was fine all night, charged to 100%... removed a few bloat apps (forget which), decided to make a backup via TWRP, just to be safe before continuing...
Started the backup, looked down a bit later (<10m), noticed my phone was off... turned it on... now I'm in a boot loop, I can get to the menu, but when I try use any options in the menu, it just reboots again.
I forced it into Download mode, and am presently letting it cool off for a few minutes like you suggested.... I'm going to be most displeased if I've trashed a SECOND OG....This is getting expensive.
Edit: Plugged it in, but it won't "stay off" and just charge, just continues to loop.... put it into download mode on an AC adapter, hopefully that clears it up. I don't have the option of "just returning/swapping it".

To those that stumble across this thread in the future, exhaust other, safer, options first. That said, disconnecting my battery cleared it up so I could LGNPST. Before LGNPST would finish in a few seconds, that's not right. Should take a handful of minutes.
my phone was rooted and everything was fine, until i downloaded setCpu. And decided to overclock my S3 using this tutorial: http://theunlockr.com/2013/07/03/how-to-overclock-the-samsung-galaxy-s3-t-mobile/ . After that my phone won't boot and I can't access recovery menu. It only opens to show the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen for two or three secs then black screen. PLEASE HELP
bricke
If you hold the volume up home and power button on that screen you should be able to get into recovery
If you are planning on rooting it then I wouldn't recommended flashing the stock ROM because of the new Knox. If you try to root the new stock ROM it will void your warranty
Stock- dowload Samsung Kies. Go to tools, upgrade initialisation. Type in your phone info found beneath the battery
Custom- download Cayanfox ROM flash it in recovery
---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 AM ----------
Your battery could also be dead after flashing. If this is the case it will probably have problems charging. In this case you would need another s3 battery with some charge to get into recovery
What message pops up in windows when you connect to PC ? Does the Red Light blink on the phone ?

It sounds like you soft bricked the phone.
Do you have a nandroid backup?
If you do just hold the volume down & home keys then push the power button on until it vibrates once. Let go of the power button and it should boot into the recovery mode. Restore the backup & you should be fine
Hello, I am new to these forums. I mostly registered for this one specific problem.
I'm pretty sure the phone isn't hardbricked, but I tried rooting my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 (4G LTE version) with Klingo. After that, it said the root was successful and the phone immediately restarted itself. However, it was then stuck in a bootloop and it just kept restarting itself. The phone turns on, and then the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" logo appears with "RECOVERY....." in blue in the top left corner, and directly under that it says "Set Warranty Bit: recovery" in yellow. Then after about 3-4 seconds it shuts off, then about 2 seconds later it restarts automatically and just keeps looping like that.
T-Mobile said they would replace the phone, and they'll be sending me a new one as soon as the old one reaches the return center. Obviously I didn't tell them what I actually tried to do. In case they're able to find out what I tried to do and end up sending my old one back, I just wanted to ask this question preemptively so I might have an idea of what to do.
I HAVE TRIED BOOTING INTO RECOVERY MODE AND DOWNLOAD MODE. No button combinations cause anything to happen. The only thing that stopped the auto-restarting and looping was taking the battery out. Upon putting the battery back in, it will stay off until I manually turn the phone on again, where it will then continue to auto-restart and loop itself.
I do not have the phone right now because I sent it to a return center after spending a few hours searching online for answers and talking to T-Mobile on the phone. But if any of you have any ideas it would certainly be a great help if the worst case scenario ends up happening. Thanks for any potential solutions!

I have no idea what the issue is, but it seems you might not have a recovery installed on the phone. Try this:
Hold power + volume to go into bootloader (I know you said you tried various combinations, but make sure you're doing it correctly.).
Go into fastboot
flash a new recovery image from (TWRP or CWM) (how to: https://sites.google.com/site/tomsgt123//adb-fastboot)
reboot and go into recovery, then use adb sideload to flash a new ROM.

I have no idea whether this will work, but it's worth a try. Please don't blame me if your phone gets even more messed up than it already is.

Thank you so much. I will definitely try this. I was also getting replies elsewhere that if I can see the logo, I should be able to get into download mode where I could then flash the stock ROM. Honestly, it does seem like I somehow may not have a recovery installed.
If they send me my old phone back I will definitely give this a try. Thanks a bunch! And don't worry, I won't hold you accountable haha.

If the advice above didn´t work (nothing happened when pressing the usual VOL down - home - power etc; this did not work for me), this is how I managed:
I tried booting around 25 times with the power button released at different times. Did not work.
Tried to insert battery when pressing the 3 buttons. Did not work.
I let the battery run completely empty. Started charging the phone and pressing the 3 buttons. Did not work.
I charged the phone full (with booting the whole time....needed to put it somewhere quiet). After estimating it was full, I pulled out the battery, preparing to send it to mobiletechvideos.com (they saved me before). After a few hours I wanted to see the error message so I could inform them. When I inserted the battery, I got the regular download mode! Nowthen, would I dare to boot it since I am not really sure what to flash to my phone?
I rebooted, and now the phone is back to normal. OTOH, I will not try to flash CWM/TWRP again, so goodbye custom roms (Omega )

So basically your problem was fixed by keeping the battery out for an extended period of time? Did you get the same problem as I did, with the phone trying to boot into recovery constantly and failing due to having no recovery image?
I never kept the battery out for more than 2-3 minutes, so that's another option for me to try if they send my old phone back and the first guy's suggestion doesn't work.

Yes, I had the exact problem. I tried to have the battery out for 10 minutes, and also ran out of battery during a nightly discharge. Still I could not get it to work. The only way was to leave the battery out for several hours. Beats me, but it worked.
Having bricked a device completely before, I am confident that your phone will be able to get fixed. This isn´t even semi-bricked
Good luck - let me know what happened!

When that happens and you go back to normal, are you able to access recovery mode afterwards if you want to? Or does trying to cause the same loop? Is it wise to re-flash the stock firmware just to be safe?

I never dared to try. But since I always used Windows under Mac (Parallells) or the fact that I used Windows 7 or 8, I tried to flash CWM on a native Windows XP PC today and it worked. So now I have a custom ROM working which I never thought would happen :laugh:
Sorry I did not try to access recovery before so you would know

No that's alright, I just wanted to know if it was something I should avoid. :laugh: I'll use Odin to flash the official firmware back on regardless.
I had this happen to me, what had occurred was that the efs was corrupt. Here's the fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507403
Now to implement this fix, you must first be able to get into download mode. To do so:
1. Pull the battery
2. Wait 10-20 secs
3. Reinsert battery WHILE holding power button and (volume down + home???, whatever the key combination is)
5. Phone will boot directly to download mode, no logo
6. Flash twrp via odin
7. Phone will reboot into bootloop again
8. Repeat steps 1-4 except this time use the key combination for recovery
9. You must now use adb and push the file I linked to earlier
10. Then without rebooting you must flash it
11. Reboot and problem solved
Fixed issue with continuous recovery boot
So, this issue was somewhat perplexing, and while the information shared was hopefully valuable to some, it took me about 2 minutes to
fix this and get back into download mode.
Take the battery out of the device, then plug the device into USB (If you're having same issue I was device will not show charging or turn on when plugged in.) Then with the device plugged in to usb and the battery out, hold down the Download mode combination Vulume +, Home and Power, then simultaneously slide in the batter, the phone will boot into download mode and you can get back to stock.
Hope this helped! If it did, leave a thanks.

This is exactly what I posted above lol
LOL Sorry. When I flash the TWRP file it just rebooted the phone back into the Hyper Drive Rom I'm using, did it do the same for you?
Thanks to everyone who has provided information and tried to help me! Thankfully, T-Mobile simply sent me a new phone. However, I'm definitely going to keep this topic bookmarked for future reference. This seems to be a rather uncommon problem, considering I had to make a topic to find a solution since all of my searches didn't give me any results.
Thanks again to everyone!

U r My neww Mirical worker I messed up a Mobile Odin Flash At work today trying to get the newish NE6
couldnt get it to boot into download after the screw up but read this this morning nd after trying everything else it worked perfect
thank you thank you
I'm having the same problem with my TMobile Note3 after using Kingo after upgrading via Kies to the latest Firmware. The only difference is my phone immediately starts rebooting as soon as I put the battery back in. It doesn't appear that any keys stop this and the USB isn't recognized by my computer in time before the reboot cycle starts.
Is there anything else to try other than sending the phone back for warranty replacement?
tim
Yeah Kingo has given me nothing but trouble, I'd steer clear of that software. I'm assuming you have no access to recovery mode? I have had that issue before on an S3 and was able to finally get it into download mode, but the battery being inserted immediately boots the phone up. So what you have to do is 1. Take battery out and unplug usb cable. 2. Plug USB cable in and Hold download mode buttons with BATTERY OUT (vol+, home and power) 3. insert battery simultaneously while holding buttons down, phone will boot up.. After holding down for about 10 seconds phone will manually reboot, 4. When screen shuts off (potentially vibrates) release download mode buttons, then IMMEDIATELY press and hold download mode buttons again (must perform this step FAST, the key is to do it right before the screen turns on if you can.) 5. The manual boot you've performed should allow you to trigger download mode. I was eventually able to get this to work (about 3 tries. ) I believe your download mode is still intact, you just have to use this method to access it. Remember that because your phone atuo boots with battery inserted download mode will only be available by manual reboot not battery insert.
Give thanks if I assisted you.. Your phone isn't a hard brick so Jtag service should be unnecessary at this juncture.

I read on many posts and comments that everyone is able to boot in download mode. My Note 3 just stuck on recovery boot and I can't get it to boot in download mode. I tried all of the suggestions about pressing three buttons, removing battery etc.
Does anyone know solution for when you can't get into download mode?
Thanks
Stock device, asked me to update, downloaded etc.
Life was great.
Phone restarted, all was when in the world, apps were up and running. Then poof!
Phone restarted and see attached image. This screen comes up. Unresponsive. Trying to go into download mode or anything else is pointless. In fact can't even turn the phone off.

just flash this with Odin :https://dl2018.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.13.3.zip and you are good to go : https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__A70__/edhk/SEK/A705FNXXU3ASJ3/A705FNOXM3ASJ3/
hope you have managed to solve the problem. if not then try the following
1) keep pressing all three hardware buttons until the phone reboots. this should force the handset to reboot.
2) if that doesn't work then let the power drain out. once its shut. connect it to the pc/laptop while pressing the power+volume up key until u boot into recovery from there boot into bootloader and flash the stock os again.
hope this helps.
