Hi,
So 2 days ago I flashed a stock rom, then CMW 6.0.4.8 (that advanced edition), then CM11 + GAPPS found in that same thread.
Result is an only half booting gio, I can enter pin, then select a language and then it's all black except for the battery and signal indicators.
I tried flashing again with a different recovery and flashed CMW 6.0.4.5. Now I got the bluescreen which is common on that version.
No problem, just put it in download mode and odin flash it... wel, not!
I tried on at least 5 different pcs, all windows 7, with custom driver packages, with official samsung kies (2.6), with reboots and without reboots, all usb ports and different usb cables. One pc began installing drivers for MSM72xx (GOOD), but then failed saying the device was disconnected while it wasn't. On most pcs it appears in device manager under usb devices as unknown with error 43, but trying to manually install inf files for it isn't working.
So no pc sees my phone when in download mode, I can't access recovery and I can't even make it to the android homescreen.
Any ideas on how to get it working again? Cause obviously it isn't bricked, its just that by pure coincidince all roads to a working phone are blocked (only half booting android + bugged recovery + weird behaviour in download mode).
EDIT:
Maybe usefull info. The inigial stockrom I flashed (the latest you can find on sammobile.com) didn't completely boot either. It stayed in the boot animation for almost 1 hour before I turned it off. I hope there wasn't something wrong with the stock rom cause me to have a broken download mode now (though it passed odin's md5 check).
Thanks,
Stan
No problem!!!

1. First Flash CM11 Blindly From Existing (Blue Screened) Recovery via Following Method:
Download latest CM 11 For Gio (http://download.androidarmv6.org/_builds/gio/stable/cm-11.0.0-RC5-GT-S5660-gio.zip) to your PC, place it on c:\ drive
Boot to recovery 6.0.4.5, press
Vol. down -> Home -> Vol. down -> Vol. down -> Home
Thus you'll enter "Install zip from sideload"
Download Minimal ADB from Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
. Connect your phone to PC via usb. Launch adb and type
Then Type:
adb devices
you'll get an output like
12346789 sideload
this means everything's ok
now type
adb sideload c:\cm-11.0.0-RC5-GT-S5660-gio.zip
wait aproximately 5 min for the rom to be copied to phone abd flashed
the press on the phone
back -> back -> vol. down -> vol.down -> Home -> vol. down -> Home
this is wipe data/factory reset
press
now back -> back ->
Home to reboot to system
Wait for the rom to boot up
Enjoy!

Thanks To @belyava
Now You Can Flash any other recovery via terminal method from within the ROM :good:
BTW have you tried pressing home button after black screen with half booting ROM?
@Stannieman
The biggest problem is you flashed

at the same time. I don't know why, but the cm11 rom and gapps have to be flashed separately: you have to boot to system after flashing the rom, make some customizations(change language, enable WiFi, etc.) and then reboot to recovery to flash gapps.
And where do all of you get these "blueish" recoveries???? use this one
Ok thanks a looooot! Going to try it as soon as I'm home.
And yes I did try pressing the home button but still no launcher.
EDIT:
Unfortunately the blind recovery method doesn't work either, still unknown device.
If I can't get it fixed before Monday I'll buy a new one and explore the world of WP8.1.
Did you try linux?
when you connect the phone to linux PC in terminal type
lsusb
it should show all usb devices
I just don't know if odin would work under linux
I just stumbeld across this post coz I am unable to access download mode nor recovery on my phone(but that's another story)
also I think when you download adb for linux you can cd to platform-tools/ and while your phone is connected in download mode type
./fastboot devices
it should pop up
these are just my ideas...
Magic happened yesterday. I'm doing an internship in a company where they develop for android. When in download mode it got immediately picked up by one of the developers' pc and we were able to flash a stock rom with odin. I guess he has some extra drivers that came with the SDK or something. For some reason my pc still doesn't see it in download mode, but at least I've got an up and running Gio again!
Hi,
my device: Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 p5200
I wanted to flash CyanogenMod 12.1. First I have used Odin to install TWRP (I can still get into custom recovery).
After that, I wiped the Dalvik Cache, System and Cache but now the device only show the Samsung logo. I have tried to use adb sideload to flash the rom. In the cmd window I get the following error when I use " adb devices" or adb sideload xxx.zip":
adb server is out of date. killing...
ADB server didn't ACK
*failed to start daemon*
error: unkown host service
I don't have any files on the devices to flash. I still have to copy the rom and so on onto the device.
What Can I do to flash the custom rom and get my device worling again?
I have installed a stock rom with Odin. Now I have another problem. When I connect the device with the pc the device is stucked in a boot loop. It goes on and off.
After disconnecting from a charging cable the device dies immedietly.
Edit: I can't get into the Odin mode to use Odin again
Now I get into the download. THe problem was the device was low on battery and I had to use a charger with 3-4A output.
After tryying over 6 stock roms I have one that worls now.
Hello,
I have a problem with a Samsung galaxy s plus
Im flashing TWRP and the Cyanogenmod version 12 on this device, after that, the device show me the error message "encryption unsuccessful"
I try to boot in recovery mode but that is not possible., on the screen the teamwin logo is flashing.
when the teamwin picture is indicated , adb tools will recognize it in "recovery mode"
But when I try to flash something , it will indicated "waiting for device"
I try to flash the bootloader with odin though odin doesnt recognize the s plus.
Hi all,
I have a Lenovo TB3-730X tablet.
Recently I wanted to flash a custom ROM but it turned out it was not compatible and the tablet was messed up.
What I did before reaching at this messed up state was:
1) Flash TWRP recovery
2) Copied the custom ROM into SD card and installed it, the installation failed and boot failed. The tablet stuck in the logo screen forever
3) I tried to install the stock ROM back using PC and SP Flash Tool but the latter never managed to connect to my tablet.
4) I manually copied the system.img and boot.img from stock ROM into SD card and tried to install them manually using TWRP by selecting "System Image" and "Boot" partitions respectively. After this and before rebooted the tablet, TWRP reported that "No OS is installed". I went ahead and rebooted the tablet anyway and now it keeps restarting. It shows the logo screen for few seconds and then restarts over and over again. I cannot connect to TWRP recovery mode anymore as the Volume-UP / Volume-DOWN + Power button are being ignored. I am not sure if the TWRP was gone after flashing the boot with boot.img. Also the tablet cannot be connected to the PC at all because it keeps restarting and it doesn't get stable to the logo screen as before so that the USB connection cannot be established. This means I cannot use "adb" from PC to connect to recovery mode using "adb reboot recovery" command
I really stuck here and would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance!

Push volume up + down simultaneously while connecting the USB cable from the pc to the phone. That will put the phone in download mode.
