[question] cant boot into recovery or download mode - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys
so basically i installed some roms on my note 2 but i didnt like them so i reflashed note 2's stock firmware.
when i got the phone i wasnt able to go into download mode, the problem was i could go pass Volume Up: Continue
once i reflashed the stock rom i waited for it to boot, ive dealt with difference samsung phones and from my knowldge it wont boot until i do a full wipe after the flash. i pulled out the battery and tried to get into recovery but it wont go in it.
i used adb to go into download mode and recovery mode before since it was the only option. but now i cant because it doesnt recognize the device. odin detects the device when not in download mode but wont do anything. i really need help guys.
thank u i hope someone can help

Sounds like a bad flash but if you have download mode, you should be in luck. Using Odin flash the Koodo 4.1.2 stock rom (https://www.dropbox.com/s/jcyk25je4u6j4vt/T989DTLUMC4_T989DOYBMC4_KDO.zip) & you should be in the clear. This would restore the stock recovery & be just as it was the day you got it (Well, day it was upgraded to Jelly bean)
Let me know if I misunderstood something, but this hopefully will help you out.

Is there any solution for boot loop in gt-i9192?

Is there any solution for boot loop in gt-i9192?
My phone was rooted. I was using s5 rom proyect and my recovery was Philz Touch Recovery. I was happily using this rom for arround 8 months. Recently my phone was responding slow and my storage was almost full. One day while watching youtube videos my phone got hang! I just removed the battery and tried to restart. But there was a failure and no vibration. The phone is simply dead. I connected my charger and of :crying:course there was no indication. Later I went through several post to learn how to revive my phone from hard brick. I downloaded debrick.img file and made a bootable memory card. This time I was able to switch on my phone but it went through bootloop. The recovery mode takes too long to load and wiping cache and dalvik cache or even reset was not possible because of some error like E: failed to mount ......
Then I went into the download mode. and installed a firmware from sam mobile. Later I flashed CWM recovery through odin successfully.
But this bootloop still exists. Whenever I try to go into recovery mode it still takes a long time. And istead of loading CWM recovery it loads philz recovery mode that was previously installed
Please help I am tired

Dude,
I am also having a bootloop problem on my S4 Mini GT-I9192...
My TWRP recovery was working, I was using version 3.0.0.0 for serrano3gxx, but when I tried installing a custom rom, the right rom for gt-i9192!!!! for some stupid reason the twrp recovery keeps thinking that my phone is gt-i9190 !!!! it is so stupid!!!
for this stupid reason I couldn't install the ROM !!!
I decided to install the right recovery for my gt-i9192, so I downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.0-serranodsxx-STABLE-signed
now, there was a warning to not install the zip using the recovery, but how could I install the recovery if I am unable to install anything with Odin!!!!
Nothing at all!!! I can't install anything with Odin, it just gets stuck!!!! So frustrating!!!!
And now afer I installed it said the installation completed successfully, but..... I can not even get the phone in recovery mode!!!!
What happened??? can anyone please help!!!
I am stuck in this stupid bootloop problem, and now on top of it I can't even go to recovery mode!!!! Nothing!!!
It is useless to do anything with Odin either, it recognises the phone, it says Added! but cannot install anything, it just gets stuck
WHAT CAN I DO?????
PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN.

You can try this:
1. Download this file: openrecovery-twrp-3.0.0-0-serranodsxx-STABLE-signed.zip and copy the file in sd card
2. Then go to recovery mood.
3. Install the zip file from sd card.
4. hope you will be able to install the correct recovery mood.

I think you didn't understand... My phone is not going into recovery at all!!!
I had this problem once when I flashed an incompatible kernel, but I forgot how I got out of it. Best suggestion I have is take out the battery and put it back.
The "hard brick" you suffer the first time was likely a dead battery. The phone looks hard bricked when a battery is below critical energy, and not enough power is available to charge it with an USB. At that point, you had to wait for the energy in the battery to store up again, and then plug it into the USB to charge. Just a little power was necessary to get it charged again.
If you can still access download mode, flash the stock ROM baseband of your phone (you should know what this is). Your data will be wipe but at least you will be able to use the phone again.

Bro hard brick was not a low battery case. I kept it connected to the charger for almost a day. Can you please just say how to solve the problem. I am totally disappointed.

Bootloop - No Custom OS - No USB Debugging

Hello All,
I am using Samsung Note 3 Neo, unfortunately I have struck up with bootloop. I have read around and tried all the bootloop fixes but they all require the phone to have USB Debugging enabled prior for the fixes to work. Sadly for me, I didn't have the prior knowledge that that was available so I am stuck with a soft bricked phone with no work around.
Any help on issue is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
You can still access download mode (volume down+home+lock), right? Try flashing TWRP using odin ( i don't think you need to have usb debugging enabled) and then wipe everything and flash stock rom. Or if instaling TWRP does not work, flash directly stock rom using Odin. Hope that helps

I am not able to access download mode, I tried using volume down+home+lock button, Its not getting into Custom OS mode. Just black screen blinks and same samsung logo will come for thrice it will blink and then goes into bootloop
Hmm.. Can you access your stock recovery (home+lock+vol. up)? If you can, try doing factory reset and reboot. Not being able to enter download mode is really rare

Is your phone a Note 3 or a Note 3 Neo? These phones are two different variants.
Can you access download mode? (Phone off, press volume minus + home key + power at the same time until you see the phone starting to ask you if you want to procceed to access to download mode)
If yes, your model number is written at the top, download the latest firmware available for your phone model on samfirmware and flash it using odin, follow a tutorial if you are unsure cause you don't wana mess your phone up more that it already is.
If it cannot access download mode, this is gonna be a bit more complicated :/

[Solved] Alternating between TWRP and Samsung logo

Hi,
I was running LineageOS on my Galaxy Tab S tablet (SM-T800). I tried to update LineageOS. I went into the settings and downloaded the lastest version. However, the installation didn't go through. The download was successful, but an error message told me to try and manually install the update. I tried to go into TWRP mode to install manually the update. Instead of going in the recovery mode, I saw a TWRP app on the Google Play store. I tried and install that app. It went ok, however, I needed to reboot my tablet to finish. I did so, but after that, I got stuck in booting mode, between the TWRP logo and the Samsung logo. So the tablet was trying to boot in TWRP mode, but after about 5 seconds on the splash screen of TWRP, the spalsh screen disapear and then the tablet tries to boot in normal mode. It doesn't work, and the tablet reboots in TWRP mode, but, again, unsuccessful. It's a loop, alterning between the two splash screens.
I tryed to go into download mode and flashed the stock ROM (found on Updato) while using Odin on my computer. It worked. However, after the process, my tablet got stucked on the Samsung logo only. Now, it doesn't go in recovery mode (TWRP). I can only go in download mode or regular mode (but not working). Only the download mode works.
I don't really know waht to do. I tryed to redo the process with Odin and the custon ROM, but it didn't work better.
What can I do?
Thank you very much for your help!

Have you tried to reflash twrp via odin ? If that works go into twrp reformat your partitions, then flash a custom rom.
Hi,
Thanks for your answer. I tried to reinstall TWRP with Odin on my computer. The process went well, but the reboot of my tablet that occurs at the end of the process got stuck again on the Samsung logo. It didn't get to TWRP mode. I tried to go manually into recovery mode by holding power+vol up+home, but it didn't work.
What else can I try? Thank you,

Are you trying to get to twrp from powered off state ? If not , get to power off state, then use key combo again to try to get into twrp.
Also when you flash twrp, in odi , there is a setting to prevent auto reboot, use that and try to get to twrp via key combo from download. Mode., finally tripple chech the key combo you are using is correct
Hi,
Thanks for the help. I tried to get to TWRP from power off state. The TWRP splash screen appears, and stays on for about 5-10 sec. After that, the splash screen disappear and the tablet reboot to get stuck on the Samsung logo again. It's like if the TWRP booting process doesn't go through...
Thanks again for your help,
Ouch !!
Looks like you got a real problem , and getting into territory I'm not expert in, Ashyx is the real authority with twrp for this device, you can try to pm him and hope he takes pity on you ( he has been helping guys on this qa thread tirelessly for over a year, and is prob taking a well deserved break ).
Otherwise a few more suggestions,
Maybe your PIT is messed up , ( but you prob would not make it to twrp splash screen in that case )
Twrp may still be trying to execute the script from the original linage update and not finding something bails ( total guess ).
Try flashing a stock ( downloaded from sammobile or somwhere you trust ) rom via odin, and see if you can get into the stock recovery. From there do a factory reset and see if you can get stock running.
Try getting into twrp with device connected to pc ( helped in some wierd cases, you never know lol ).
When TWRP splash screen comes up, try some key combos , maybe twrp checks for a script abbort key combo ?
Checkout the TWRP github issues page, see if your bug is there and a solution, create a bug report or mail a dev directly.
Have a look at the TWRP code, maybe some clues ??
Hi,
So not much development here...
I tried to download the stock ROM for my device from Sammobile and tried flashing it with Odin (JOdin actually, I'm on Mac), but it says it need a PIT file. I let Casual fin the PIT file and it finds it. Only, after that my device does not reconnect to Odin even though it's still plugged in my computer. I tried to unplug it then plug it back, but then Odin says the PIT file is corrupted. I tried to restart my device, but still not connecting to Odin...
I tried getting into TWRP with my device connected to my computer. Still the same problem of rebooting while TWRP is booting (while it's on splash page).
No combo key seems to work to keep TWRP open and loading...
Didn't find anything on TWRP github and I'm not saavy enough to look into TWRP code.
So, I'm still stuck with my initial problem. Do any of ou have some advices/suggestions or can help me with my problem please? At this point, I've been without my tablet for more than a month and it S**KS!!
Thanks in advance everyone,

Use ODIN via Windows or a VM on your Mac.
Flash stock firmware then boot to recovery and factory reset.
Reboot and wait ten minutes.
Hi, thanks a lot for your time.
I will try that at work tomorrow as I don't have Windows at home. However, I did try to flash stock ROM with Windows initially (see first post for more info) and it didn't solve my problem. I wasn't able to access recovery mode after the stock ROM was flashed. Hope it's gonna work now and I'll be able to factory reset.
I'll let you know tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks,

Hi. so i have a question about recovery mode.

okay soo basically i was screwing around with twrp and messed it up and long story short, my tablet is fully functional but when i try to go into recovery mode it kind of locks up and i have to use the command;
abd reboot bootloader
just to get it back to normal. any ideas? ive been trying to get a rom. also, if you know how to fix this to get it back to the normal recovery mode thing and/or know how to get a rom on samsung galaxy tab s t-700 thats decent ( i really only want version 6+, it can even be a stock rom) and please help me with this. i dont have any more tablets other than this and i screwed up!!!!!
You can get stock roms at sammobile and flash them with Odin. Later flash twrp and magisk. It should work.
