After I have flashed an outdated SuperSU (At the time I didn't know), I rebooted the phone and now it is stuck on the boot animation (CM 12.1 Boot animation). I can't go to recovery mode because my volume up button is broken. Please help
***I have flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip on my phone***
Is the phone an i747m or i747? Which bootloader is on the phone?
The easiest solution may be to flash a ROM via desktop Odin.
Its an i747 and I'm going to try and flash a rom with odin. Thanks for replying!
Well, how do I flash a rom with odin with my device like this? I've seen tutorials and they say you need to enter download mode but I can't because it requires you to press volume up.
I recommend not flashing anything until you verify the bootloader on the phone.
And how do you do that?
Boot into download mode and look at the screen. If you see something about warranty bit, you have at least a 4.3 bootloader. With a 4.3 bootloader or higher, you need to ensure that you do not flash anything that tries to downgrade the bootloader.
Was your phone working with calls and data on cm12.1? If it was, you probably have at least a kit kat bootloader.

I can't boot into download mode because it requires me to press the volume up button. And yes, my phone was working with calls and data on cm12.1

getting into Download mode doesn't require you to use de Volume Up button, it's the VolumeDown key... VolDOWN+Home+Power...
Volume Up would be used to go to Recovery, not Download mode...

In that case, you should have a KK bootloader; therefore, don't flash anything that tries to flash a different bootloader.
You'll have to find a ROM that can be flashed via download mode with Odin. Most non-stock ROMs require a custom recovery.
When I go into download mode, it gives me a warning and it says: Volume down to restart or volume up to continue. My volume up is broken so I can't continue.
A USB jig may be the only solution to access download mode.

Some more details would help me understand better. What I'd love to know is.
1. What is the current state of the phone ?
2. Is it rooted or Are you trying to root ? If so what process.
3. Are you trying to flash a rom or Recovery or what ?
4. Last but not least. What rom and version you currently have on there ?

You didn't specify how you got here .What did you try to do, that left you in this state ? Am I assuming correctly that you somehow managed to wipe system partition and have only the stock recovery ?
If the phone is in Recovery mode, Odin will not work. You will need to reboot the phone into Download mode. To do this, you pull the battery out, volume down, home, and power button at the same time until you see the Samsung logo, and then release. You will see a warning message with bright yellow triangle and will say Downloading. Once that is done, connect to the PC.
Using ODIN, first flash a custom recovery such as TWRP. If you want to go back to stock, this is the time you flash Stock rom instead of the recovery.
If you want custom rom, copy the rom zip to the External SD card and then put that in the phone and flash via Custom Recovery.

Sorry.....
the phone was loading that QHSUSB_DLOAD driver on windows every time i plugged into my PC. I then tried to Odin to a Stock TMO Rom, and that was when i got the Boot recovery mode screen. i have been trying to use the buttons to get into download mode, but that doesnt work either!

QHSUSB_DLOAD means your device is hard Bricked. Please follow De-Bricking thread in this sub forum.

Then perhaps you should have asked on that thread for next steps. Anyway, if you are still getting the Qsub message when connecting to pc that means its not out of de-brick yet. I'd suggest following there.
Also please first put the phone in download mode and THEN connect to the PC. Tell me what happens in that case.

Perhaps not Perseus! AS stated........Its out of the brick mode and is now stuck in boot recovery mode! The method to get it into download mode is null, because it will only go into the boot recovery mode when i push those buttons to try and get it there! NOTE: its now in MSM9860 when plugged into the PC.

Please note, the button combo slightly differs for Recovery versus Download mode
Recovery Booting - Power +Home + Volume UP
Download Mode - Power +Home + Volume DOWN
Do you still have the sd setup from the debrick thread? Can you see if you can get back to download mode by booting from that again?
If so, try flashing the Stock firmware again, and if you still end up in the same spot maybe try again, but this time flash CWM or TWRP recovery from Odin, then flash a Rom from recovery.
And I can't remember right off but did you try factory resetting from recovery?

In that Case boot the phone using the files of the SD Card as per the De-Brick Thread. See if you can into Downloading mode that way.

Tried that method also and no luck!
Just to clarify, the boot recovery mode you are referring to, does it have the binary/flash count, system status, etc? Basically what do you see?
It sounds in some ways you are in download mode, but recovery is a very different mode, so just to clear up any confusion.....

You can't boot straight to recovery? What do you mean when a rom is installed it gives you that error? If I remember right that is because the bootloader is still locked. Have you tried the hard recovery boot combo? I think it is power and volume up, then you should see bootloader, volume up and down change the options, when it says recovery press the power button.
Check this thread for brick repair,

It will help you get into recovery and have a rom installed.
If you are looking for stock I suggest this thread for the rom once you can get into recovery.

Your right, I couldn't unlock it. I tried freegee and I got it unlocked with that. What a pain in the butt this phone has been..
I soft bricked my SGH-I747 on 4.4.2 and I couldn't find a solution anywhere. If anyone could help me out by either linking me somewhere or providing detailed instructions on how to fix this problem, it would be greatly appreciated.
how to unbrick
If your phone is softbricked, the recovery will still most likely be working. While the phone is off, hold power, volume up and home button to go to recovery. From there wipe system data and cache, and restore your latest backup.

I can't enter recovery; I'm stuck in odin mode so I guess I'm not soft bricked? I'm not sure
If you are stuck in download mode, try holding the power button until it turns off, then try going to recovery. If that doesnt work, just flash a stock image for the i747 and start from square one.
You could flash a custom recovery such as Philz Touch via Odin, boot into recovery, and flash a custom ROM.

That's where I'm stuck. I don't know what stock image to use/can't find one that works
There isnt one for 4.4.2. Youll have to flash a custom recovery with odin and then a rom from recovery. If you want stock 4.4.2, enewman17 has it in the development section. Doing this will void your warranty if you still have one.

tyvm I'll try it
Hi all, after some modding it seems that my nexus 7 2013 lte custom recovery is vanished. I've tried to flash it via adb, I've flashed the new 5.1 official image, but nothing happen. Every time I try to boot into recovery mode, via adb or power+volume up, all I get is a dead android robot logo with no options.
And, btw, my N7 works perfectly
What can I do?
Thanks
When you flash a new android version you lose root and custom recovery, you need to root and flash custom recovery again as your currently on stock, when that robot is on his back you also have hold down a button combo to access the fastboot / bootloader or recovery, unless you send it the command via adb.
My advice is re-root using cfautoroot and flash custom recovery with flashify.
Ok, thanks! I've flashed twrp (I'm still no-root) and it works fine. Now is there any possibility to come back on stock recovery?
Flashify premium allows you to download and flash stock recovery or bootloader,
if you can't afford it or there not available for dl yet you can alternatively extract the .img files
from the factory image and flash them instead.

Nothing to do. I've extracted the img file from the factory image and flashed it via fastboot but, when I restart the device in recovery mode, it still shows the green half dead androidbot
^Thats normal. When you get to that screen you have to press volume up, down and power all at the same time, all three buttons. Just keep pressing them all at once a few times and it'll let you into stock recovery. It took me about 10 minutes to get in the first time. Don't hold the buttons, a quick press.

So you're saying that normally, on a Nexus 7 with no root and with stock recovery, the combination key to enter in the recovery isn't power+volume up ? Sorry for repeating, but I'm new at modding
I'm saying when you boot into recovery and it gives you the dead android (on it's back I think?) do what I said above.

Done Thank you all!
Yeah it's pita to press, it's why I prefer to launch recovery from flashify or quick boot it's so much easier.
Android seems to love doing things arsed about faced / over complicated it should just be an option in settings, power off like
custom roms along with wireless adb.
Hi everyone, some help is needed. Mistakenly when rooting my stock T805 with CF autoroot, tired and sleepy, I flashed it in Odin in BL (bootloader) and not in AP box as I should. Soft bricked it, couldn't go back to stock, somehow managed to install recovery, from there to some AOSP rom and finally to Xtrolite (which is great) .Anyhow, all is working now, EXCEPT, i still cannot flash stock rom in Odin, seems i destroyed bootloader but then again, I flashed stock bootloader-only file, i got recovery, any rom etc. Help is needed what to do??
Also, is this normal that VOL UP+ POWER+ HOME wont enter recovery?? I remember this when i bought it, with knox 0x0 and now also, with TWRP, i have to use an app to reboot to recovery?! weird...
Cheers!
If you had trashed the bootloader you wouldn't even have a bootable device, it would be bricked.
Not getting into recovery is purely pilot error.
You need to give more details regarding flashing the stock rom, screen shots etc.
Part of the problem was that i couldn't enter recovery with button combo but needed to have working rom with special app or 4 way reboot mod. When flashing stock rom (either 4.4.2 or 5.0) at the end of the proccess it says: FAIL (red).

You need to post a screen shot of the flash process in Odin.
I'll reiterate, regarding entering recovery mode is 99% of times user error.
From power off hold POWER + HOME + VOL UP until recovery boots.

Tnx. Finally managed to find some time and clear this one out. It was LP bootloader issue, appareantly you can go back only to some 4.4.2 bootloaders/roms and some not.
