Phone not working after reset

Hi all,
I've been having a few issues with my S2 (Randomly resetting, freezing, etc) - so I decided to do a factory reset - but it hasn't worked.
When I turn my phone on, it wont go past the galaxy logo. I've tried holding down VOLUME UP, POWER, and HOME - but it doesn't boot it into recovery mode.
Any ideas?

Fyi, this is the S3 tmobile forum, not S2.
To get recovery hold vol up, home and power, but release after you see blue text flash at top of screen.
For download mode (for flashing full fw with odin) hold vol down, home and power. Then press up once prompted.
Safe mode hold vol down and power.
If factory reset in stock recovery doesn't do it. You probably need to flash the fw with odin.

Ops - My bad.
Factory reset doesn't work. Will have ago with Odin. Never used it before - Have you got a guide?
Cheers

You can probably use this for the steps. But do NOT use any files you find in this area.
Youd probably be better off trying to find a similar guide in the S2 forum. Just to protect against a simple mistake which could brick your s2.
Good luck man!

[Q] Won't start after rooting with odin

I try to root my S3 with odin now the only thing i got when i turn it on it's a few second of Samsung image and after that it's vibrating and nothing more.
I try to reboot it with the volume button down or up and nothing too
PLz help it'a a S3 from Rogers(canada) SGH-I747M

To reboot in download mode you need to press all together : Volume down, home button and power. In clockwork mode you nee to press : Volume UP, Home button and power and them let go all when you see Samsung galaxy S3 logo with litte blue writing on left top corner.

Are you booting into recovery mode correctly ? Hold home and volume up and then hold power until it flashes...then let go

Yes the only thing happen i saw tje samsung logo for 2 secondes and the phone vibrate and the screen turn black

Since I'll assuming you flashed rooted firmware, you need to access recovery to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache in order to proceed. Which root method did you use?
Recovery mode: Vol up + home + power. When your device vibrates, release only the power button

And if it doesn't work you can force it into downoad mode by holding down the power. volume down and power key without the battery and then putting in a micro usb cord plugged into the computer. Then put in the battery. Thats the hard way haha
Or get into recovery and clear all cache and factory reset.

Which Odin did you use?
I've been using the one from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822308 and never had issues.
Gotta make sure you download the one for Rogers.

So you successfully got it into download mode and flashed the stock rooted rom with no issues?
If so then you need to wipe data from and cache in order to eliminate the bootloop.
Again, recovery is: Vol up + home + power. When your device vibrates, release only the power button

how to enter recovery using buttons?

Hi, I have an e980 stock rooted and unlocked with freegee, I can enter recovery from the ROM reboot menu but I can not figure out how to boot into recovery from power off, I followed a tutorial that says to press any key before the capacitive keys light on, but my lights never turn on.
Any help would be great, thanks very much.

I have been told, but I'm not sure, since I don't have my device yet, that holding the volume down button and home gets you recovery, but I agree that there really ought to be an FAQ with questions like:
How do I?
Get to download mode?
Get to recovery?
Factory reset?
Flash a stock ROM?
Flash a custom ROM/Recovery, etc.?

Hold power, volume up and home all at the same time. LG will disappear, as soon as it reappears release them and it will put you into the recovery menu.
Sent from my LG-E980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

holding power-volume down-home takes you to the hard reset then you press power to confirm reset or any other key to exit hard reset. I just need the combo to go to recovery from power off.
Thanks for the response, I'll keep waiting to see if someone else got it.

Edit: Awesome!! Psal217050 that did it, thank you very much!!!

Many thanks man.It's working...I was searching this for hours!
It is true that someone has to post a complete guide on this subject for different devices and generally how to install custom recoveries,Roms etc. on different devices. Till now there is not a complete guide for this. For example Lg G Pro users, like me, have to find out that they must use FreeGee to install a custom recovery to their phone.
I hope that someone will do it one day.
Again many thanks! +1 Thanks from me

Does this apply to all types/versions of CWM recovery? Don't want to end up resetting my phone so am just using third party app.

Is there no recovery on our phones? I am stock no root or anything and can not go into recovery?

So I have been trying to do this for two days. Every time I begin from battery pull to pressing: vol up+home button+power button. First LG symbol shows then LED home button flashes and then device shuts off before second LG symbol.

No need to press home key, just vol up and power key and release only power key once first lg logo appears on the screen, and make sure you do have a recovery, otherwise install rebooter app from market

Power+Vol Up, keep them pressed, and then when LG logo appears press volume down twice. Works for me.

not working...

What kind of recovery do you have? I.e. stock, cwm, or twrp?

With my phone off, I press vol. up + home + power until the LG logo appears then disappears. At that point I let go of them. Never failed to get into recovery that way no matter what recovery I used.

Its stock recovery.
I don't know that my bootloader is locked or not, I bought this phone rooted. Can I flash recovery without knowing bootloader status? What risks are involved if the recovery installation goes wrong?

Why are you trying to go into the stock recovery? I mean you can't install anything with it as far as i know. If you're trying to install the custom recovery, you will need to unlock the bootloader first, then root the phone. It sounds like you are new at this stuff.
If you can still get into your OS, try root and install the custom recovery from there. Else if you don't have the OS anymore, you may have to reinstall the stock ROM by getting into the download mode.

my phone cannot boot into stock recovery mode by buttens even with some third party apps it boots. i dont know what the problem is??? I'll be thankful if someone can give me the exact procedure..

[Q] Need Help - SM T705 stuck on start up screen.

Greetings XDA Developers,
Newbie here. I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab S (SM T705). I was able to root it a few weeks ago and I decided to install a custom recovery (TWRP) using an app from the Playstore named "TWRP Manager". I didn't hesitate to do so using this method because I was able to install TWRP on my GT I9300 successfully from the past using this app. However, after being prompted by the app that the recovery was successfully installed and needs to reboot the device, my tab was stuck on start up screen ( See attached photo ). I tried long pressing the power button but nothing happened. I waited until the device ran out of battery and when it did, I plugged in the charger and I'm back at the same screen. After google-ing some possible solutions, I tried to boot it into recovery but was unsuccessful, however, I was able to boot into download mode.
I'd like to ask for the help of some "experienced" users in this forum on how to solve this problem. And if possible, I'm hoping that flashing a stock recovery using Odin wouldn't be my last resort.
Thank you in advance.

Your going to need some fast hands for this one! I've ran into this lots of times when testing kernels and such. Any force reboot by holding Power Button+ Home Button + BOTH Volume buttons all at the same time. Press and hold that combo until the screen goes black. Then once the screen goes black quickly press and hold Power Button+ Home Button + Volume down buttons all at the same time. You should no enter into download mode. You said that you drained the battery so I would suggest charging it in download mode for 30 minutes or so then flash TWRP with Odin.
Your going to need to flash stock recovery or TWRP with Odin to override the boot and get it working
The TWRP app doesn't always work in which is why I use Odin.

As a side note for future reference, hard reset is simply hold POWER + VOL DOWN.
As said all you need do is boot to download mode and flash recovery.
If you're on lollipop you may need to immediately boot into recovery after flashing to make it stick.

Hey, thanks for the heads up. But how exactly do I "immediately boot into recovery after flashing to make it stick." Since after I flash recovery via odin, it would obviously automatically reboot my device? sorry for the dumb question.

Both are the same I think. Some people name it by our product name or device name (one has xx and one doesn't. Both are the same)

You either be quick and hold POWER + HOME + VOL UP as soon as it reboots or you uncheck auto reboot in Odin then restart manually.

So did the solution work? I am looking at a SM-T705 on ebay being sold for parts with similar symptoms. hoping I can fix it for a great bargain.
