Hello
Yesterday i tried to overclock my sgh-t999 with "ALL STARS KERNEL DEVELOPERS" but something wrong has happening and now i cant open my phone.IM stuck i cant entry on download mode or recovery mode to make a reset.NOTHING WORK what to do to reset my phone cuz i dont know what to do in this momment.IM STUCK.
Are you sure that you are unable to get into Download mode? Try this pull the battery, then replace it and then hold Vol Down & Home then pressing Power until it vibrates, still holding Vol Down & Home buttons, until the "Yellow Triangle" screen shows up. and Recovery is the similar with Vol Up instead.
So i acceident flashed a theme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751173) for ARHD v 9.1 but I was running v8.1
Now my phone automatically boots into safe mode and and the system.ui keeps crashing, I trued getting into my bootloader with no luck, the only thing I can do i reboot the phone but then it just goes back into safe
is there anything I can do?
If it boots and just system.ui is crashing, try to connect via USB and fastboot reboot-bootloader.
Or else try to press power + vol-up for sometime and as soon as it reboots keep pressed vol-down it might need a bit of timing though
This comes in handy if you have a problem being stuck in Safe Mode ....
To activate Safe Mode: press power key until shutdown menu shows, press 'shut down' until another menu opens with Cancel and Restart.
To deactivate Safe Mode: press power key until menu shows, now hold power key - a toast box opens - keep power pressed and now hold Vol+ (toast says 10 seconds and counts last couple) it should reboot as normal.

If you have flashed a rom and your tablet "soft bricks", i.e. it gets stuck at the Samsung splash screen or boot loops Recovery there is an easy way to recover without having to reflash the original firmware in ODIN (assuming you were smart and made a NANDROID backup before flashing your rom).
TURNING THE DARNED THING OFF:
Here's the problem. If you are at the Samsung splash screen or boot looping Recovery, you cannot turn your tablet off by just pressing the power button and you can't pull the battery. This prevents you from getting back into Recovery and restoring your NANDROID backup. So here is what you do:
1) Plug your tablet into your computer (this is important!).
2) Hold down the home, volume down and power buttons until you boot into download mode. Once you are prompted, push the volume up button to enter download mode completely.
3) Now, once in download mode, hold down the power and volume down buttons (not the home button this time) until you screen goes blank (your tablet MUST be plugged into your computer for this to work!). Release the buttons and you will see the battery symbol on your screen. Your tablet is now off - thank god.
4) To enter Recovery mode, hold the home, volume up and power buttons down until Recovery loads.
5) Restore your NANDROID backup.
Disaster averted.

Only works if the tablet is off. The key part of this little tutorial is just turning the tablet off when you are stuck in a loop. Once you are off you're golden.
I panicked yesterday because i can't exit download mode with a simple hold of the power key,

Hope this helped.
Thanks.
Lots of new roms. Make sure you check those firmware numbers before flashing folks!
When I was stuck on the Samsung logo for 20 minutes after installing this (beta version) rom a week or so back I did this:
1. Held down the Home, Power, Volume up and down buttons for about 10 seconds, not sure if you need all of them held down, but it seems it force restarts the tablet.
2. After the screen went black I immediately held down the Home, Power, and Volume down buttons to enter into download mode.
3. Flashed the latest XAR stock rom from SamMobile.
If anyone is testing a new kernel keep an eye on those temps. An app called CPUTemp has excellent monitoring. You want to be staying under 100c even when benchmarking.
Almost there but
I did everything you said but when i press the recovery combo nothing happens.It is as if there is no recovery!!!
Help plz.I am furstrated and angry!!!

Ok that all worked fine, but now that I got it turned off I can't get it to go any further than the charging icon is there a way to push files to it while it off? any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated
Same here. Can get into download mode but can't get into recovery. I've TWRP.
Ok made it into recovery.
Update:
I've now wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache and after rebooting it now says Android is upgrading / Starting apps.
Is this a good or a bad sign?

Thanks a lot. I just registered at xda developers in order to be able to reply and thank you. You saved my tabS 8.4 two weeks ago. However, I lost this thread since that time and I just found it again today after almost 2 hours of google searching. All that to show my appreciation for helping me to switch off my tablet having been stuck at the booting loop.
I would send you money if I knew how. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I had this problem with a Samsung Tab S I got at Costco, and returned it for a new one. That was about a year ago, and I was sure I would have to take it back again. You are uberawesome!
Kindly help me if u can ^_^

Dear,
My case problem is like yours, after I wipe from TWRP I do restart my device & I'm now stuck on Samsung Logo or Battery Logo (if I plug it with my computer).
Now how can I download a new firmware, although I can't open download mode or recovery mode through (Volume Down+Home+Power)?
Thnx n Adv.

You have a couple of options.
1) Do as the guide says. It usually works.
2) If it didn't work, unplug your device and wait until it discharges the battery and goes off. Then charge it from USB, and turn it on with holding down Home+VolumeDown+Power buttons until DOwnload mode appears. Then press VolumeUp, and flash it from ODIN.
hi guys.
i made a small mistake while chekcing some apk with jumobile system app remover and remove by mistake two apk called emergencyprovider and logprovider. SInce then I have messages like the following: com.android.phone stopped or iu syst stopped. I can unlock the tab but can't access the launcher.
i have backups of these apk, and was thinking maybe to restore them using TWRP file manager. WOuld you know where I should put these two files?
I use a galaxy tab s10.5, with stock lollipop 5.0, rooted.
Thanks
See if you can boot in safe mode.
Once the phone is off, press and hold the power button to turn the phone on, and as soon as the "Samsung" logo pops on screen, release the power button and then press and hold the*volume down*button until the phone boots up completely.

Hello.
It didn't work. Wiping cache or dalvik didn't work either. I'm afraid i'll have to make a clean install. Thank you for your help.
Hi,
Honestly, I am not expect in phone.
I am having this issue. The phone suddenly went lagg during the time I played the game, and then auto restart.
After all, it never back to home menu anymore. It stuck at "Samsung Galaxy Note II - GT N7100" forever!!
What i have done as below:
1) change battery
2) few times restart the phone by power button
3) Volume Up + Power button + Home button to clear cache
4) Volume Down + Power button + Home button to restore/initialise at KIES (during the initialisation progress, will pop up unexpected error message)
All above never work. Please advise.
