Hi
There's this Galaxy Note II (N7100) which the owner tried wrong patterns a lot and now the phone is locked and we can't use his Gmail account to unlock it. So I tried to get into Recovery Mode and do a hard reset. SO I turn off the phone hold 'Vol Down+Home+power' the phone turns on shows the samsung galaxy note 2 logo and after one or two seconds, instead of going into recovery mode that logo screen starts flickering (scrambling) and then nothing happens, the screen is black although I'm not sure if it's turned off. So now how can I hard reset? Thanks in advance
recovery mode buttons

hey,try this "you will first have to turn off your device. Once it’s turned off, press volume up + power button + home button simultaneously and keep them pressed until you see the recovery mode. Once you’re there, get your hands off the buttons"

Thanks for the reply man. Well, that's what I've been trying for a long time. I tried it on my Galaxy S III and it worked instantly. But on this one it doesn't work no matter how long I keep the buttons down(I held it for 20 secs or so).

Go into download mode instead. Once there flash a custom kernel via ODIN and then reboot into recovery.

boot into download mode and flash philz recovery via odin . uninstall orevious drivers and fresh install samsung drivers and make sure usb debugging is enabled.
a detailed guide can be found here this will solve your problem of recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31801060&postcount=2
Note :
normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery.
If it reboots into android and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing power button until it reboots (normally will go to recovery)
when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm

I understand this is a late post, but I hope you can help me out on this one. I have a different smartphone. I have successfully rooted my Galaxy Note GT-N7000, using Method 2 outlined in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217840
After trying to uninstall a Live Wallpaper using Titanium, my phone is experiencing a similar case as OP. I'm stuck at Samsung Galaxy Note GT N7000 logo.
MY QUESTION IS: will your recommendation work for me also? I am able to boot into download mode. I am confused though where to find "Philz Recovery" ??? Will it be also found where I downloaded the kernel when I rooted my phone?
I downloaded this file for rooting:
PhilZ-cwm6-JPLSB-UAE-5.11.2-signed.zip
over at:
http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=23431#files
Is the Philz Recovery for use in Odin this one?
PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT9-ORA-5.11.2.tar.md5
I hope you can point me out to the right direction. I'm am quite new with rooting. And trying to save my once buttery smooth Galaxy Note I, GT-N7000 pre Jelly Bean.
Thanks,

soft brick??? clueless
I think my lenovo a6000 plus has been softbricked as it doesn't get pass the logo screen. also recovery mode is not opening ( tried every combination). Help me with this. This phone has really checked up my nerves. the reason for flashing this phone as it had a problem of automatically downloading apps without consent, and video apps popping out in the middle of night(time service, monkey test apps), so the only best solution i found was to flash it( tried every other possibility- factory reset, password change...etc everything). Now it has died on me, can't get pass the logo screen. Also connecting the phone to pc gives me multiple drive partitions. Please help.

I have a soft bricked (hopefully) Galaxy Note II that scrambles at the startup logo screen and goes blank. I can hear the startup sound and all on startup but nothing on the screen. I have been at it the whole night trying to get it into recovery mode so I could wipe it clean and reinstall the firmware. Tried CWM, TWRP, Philz Recovery (all using Odin) but nothing can get the phone to startup in recovery mode.
I have reinstalled the firmware as well after rooting it with CF Autoroot (again using Odin). I am sure that I am using the correct versions for this model but I have reached nowhere so far.
Now, I have two constraints:
1. The USB debugging mode is probably not enabled (the phone belongs to an uncle of mine).
2. I cannot do anything or change settings on the phone as the screen is black.
Can someone please help me out with this and let me know how to go about fixing it?
Try this: download the stock ROM from sammobile.com, open Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time. Flash the ROM. When you see the word reset in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot into recovery, factory wipe, and reboot.

To go Into recovery mode hold Home +Volumen up and Power button , when you see Samsung Logo hold only Home and Vulome up for the next around 20 sec that you See the recovery menu.
Please help me !
I have the same problem, I've took the steps to aquire recovery but nothing happens
On my 8.0 recovery is power+volume up, no home button. Don't know if that makes a difference or not.
Try downloading an app like " rebooter" from the play store. See if that will get u into it.
Also I use power/vol up to get into recovery.

dude where can I get the recovery? please do share tge link ... I'm having the same problem!!
Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids version (SM-T2105). It is only a Wifi tablet. I never rooted and USB debugging is not enabled (Keep this in mind). It is pure stock firmware. My 9yr old daughter has locked herself out. The Lock Screen password does not work. Because I can not gain access, I do not know exactly what firmware version it has or enable USB debugging (again - keep this in mind). The tablet will not boot to recovery mode, no matter what button combination I use. It only boots back to the Lock Screen. I tried in Regular Mode and Safe Mode. The only other mode that works is Download Mode (for Odin).
I am trying to do a Factory Reset, but I can not get into Recovery Mode. I tried flashing the stock firmware using Odin, but that does not work even after everthing PASSED with green lights (Odin 3.10.7). The tablet just reboots back to the same Lock Screen. Also, because the tablet is not enabled with USB debugging I can not do anything with ADB.
So basically I am stuck on the Lock Screen, and cant get into Recovery Mode in order to do a Factory Reset. Also, Odin flash is not working, even though everything says completed successfully. I have read in another post that other people are experiancing the same issue not being able to get into Recovery Mode (even when the tablet is not locked out and working fine). See this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/help/samsung-galaxy-tab-3-7-kids-t2105-t-t3294954
Can anyone help me. I beleive the tablet is stock in a soft brick that doesn't allow access to Recovery Mode. And the Locked Screen password is preventing me from getting into the table OS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. And my 9yr old daughter will be happy again...
Thanks,

Hello,
I'm not sure which one of these did the trick for me, but I was able to get into recovery mode. I'm not sure if your three tables are rooted or not, but I don't think it matters. Try these two methods:
Method #1:
Technically, I think I just stumbled on to this one after successfully completing Method #2 (below). But it's worth trying it first before moving on to Method #2.
-Hold the Home + Volume Up + Power buttons together at the same time (just like the normal process).
-Now, you will probably need to try this next step a couple of time before you get it right. This is because it happens pretty fast and you need to time it perfectly.
-Notice that when the screen turns on, the actual first thing that happens is that the the screen backlight turns on and glows first. This happens first and a split second later the first Samsung logo flashes.
-You need to let go of all three buttons at the same time as soon as you see the backlight turn on, but before the Samsung logo flashes.
This is the sweet spot, and it happens pretty fast. But once you do it at the right time, the tablet will go black again and then the recovey mode will show up. It works for me every time.
Method #2:
I thought somehow the recovey mode portion of the firmware had become corrupter somehow. So I decided to flash a custom recovery using Odin (since at that time I hadn't stumbled onto Method #1 yet). Make sure to download and flash the CWM or TWRP .tar file for Odin (I personally have always liked CWM over TWRP).
-Make sure you have all the correct USB drivers for the tablet installed on your computer.
-Open Odin and load the .tar file that you downloaded into the PDA or AP slot (depending on your Odin version).
-Let Odin check the m5d verification for successful authorization.
-Once Odin is ready, then boot the tablet into Download Mode (Home + Volume Down + Power button)
-Connect the table to a USB cable that is attached to your computer's main USB port.
-Odin should now recognize that the table it connected to a valid COM port.
-Click <Start> button on Odin and it should flash the costum recovey .tar file pretty quickly.
-The tablet will simultaneously flash a progress bar and start to automatically reboot (also pretty quickly).
-Disconnect the tablet from the USB cable now.
If the tablet does not automatically reboot to the new custom recovery screen, then just power off the tablet completely. Wait 30 seconds, and then boot the table to recovery mode use the Method #1 shown above. You should now be able to go into the new custom recovery mode you flashed with Odin (CMW or TWRP). It should all work now.
From this point you can download and install SuperSU to add root (if you want to).
Let me know if this works for you.

galaxy tab 3 model GT-P5210 rebooting cant enter recovery mode what can i do i reinstall software it doese the same things need to fix it
Hello all !
I think I just soft bricked my Note 2 !! as it is now the Note 2 stuck on the SAMSUNG Logo.
Download mode still works and I can flash correctly trough Odin, could you please suggest me what file to flash to it to make it work please ?
So heres a short summary of what I did:
So its a N7100 model international version (bought in Italy)
I had a CM 11 Rom , TWRP installed and phone rooted - everything working perfecly.
Now I wanted to get to Samsung stock rom,
- So I downloaded Odin and the official 4.4.2 ROM from SamMobile, I choose UK O2 as I live in the UK,(http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-N7100/) ,
-went into download mode and flashed trough odin 3.11 (what you recon is the best version to use ?)
- Now the phone Starts up, writing Note 2 samsung galaxy, then plays sound, changes to SAMSUNG logo and stays there !!
- If i press the power button the phone shuts off.
- If I press Home + Volume down + power, then phone goes into download mode correctly, so I can still flash with odin again any time. Again could you please suggest what file should I flash to just make it work ? or is it something else that i did wrong ?
Thank you !
You confirmed the model number in download mode?
Did you perform a factory wipe after flashing in Odin?
Did you try other n7100 regional firmware?

oh !!! The factory reset wipe worked !!!! FANTASTIC !! thank you !
for anybody that might have the same problem -- it's home button + volume up + power button to go to the menu and do a factory reset after flashing with odin!
thanks again ! can change this to [SOLVED]
Glad it worked. We're all here to help each other.
Whenever I flash a stock rom in Odin, I uncheck everything except f reset time. I flash the rom. When I see the word reset in the status window, I remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot into recovery mode, wipe, and reboot.

I have a SM-G925T and it started boot loop today. I tried to get into recovery mode by holding Power+VOL UP+Home but that does nothing. When I tried to go into download mode by holding Power+VOL DOWN+Home, it works fine.
Symptom:
Phone boot loops displaying only the very first Samsung screen with Galaxy s6 edge (no samsung boot animation). Once this very first logo screen comes on, the screen goes black and loops again. Even if I plug the OEM Samsung USB charging cable, screen does not show the battery charging screen, just the same Samsung Galaxy s6 edge screen.
I have already tried the following:
1. Flash stock rom using ODIN, flashed successfully, still boot loop
2. Holding Power+Vol DOWN to reset, still boot loop
3. Flash stock rom using ODIN again, flashed successfully, still boot loop
4. Let battery drain, waited 3 hours for screen to boot loop and battery died, plugged back USB charging cable back, still boot loop
5. Flick the power button many times to loosen any dirt, still boot loop
6. Hold the power button for 1 minute, 2 minute, and 3 minute, still boot loop
Please help, any advice very appreciated!
Hm, I had this 2 month ago with a S4...
Same thing, I go to my provider he checked the Handy and said I have a defect on my Mainboard... He use dos tools for Handy analysis... I flash stock with Odin, too... Success but no boot...

Hold the button combo pwr, vol down and home as if you want to go into download mode, but try to time it that immediately before the download mode screen comes on, use the Vol up, home and pwr combo and keep holding it down, till it goes into recovery. You have to time it so that right begore the download screen lites up you shift to the recovery mode 3 button combo and hold it till it goes into recovery. This works for me and how I do it all the time whether using stock recovery or TWRP.

Thanks for your suggestion Docmjldds but that didn't work either. I think I timed it within 0.5 second of the download mode screen. I always tried cancelling out of download mode and quickly holding the combo vol up, home, and pwr immediately after it and it that did not work either.

I have the solution for you my friend. Flash TWRP using oding (in download mode), then from TWRP install or flash this rom(for this you need to download the rom, connect your phone to the pc and while you have TWRP open in your screen put the file of the rom in the phone)
Rom right here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ied-development/noble-nougat-rom-1-0-t3565293
This works because this rom comes with its own bootloader and kernel.

Flashing TWRP WILL trip knox. So, if that's a concern to you, then not much more I can tell you about that. BUT.....3.12.3 is latest ODIN. I would use THAT. Then try flashing complete stock firmware from download mode. QC2 being the last. Here is latest ODIN I attached.

PS: Have you tried turning phone off. Then power on and then immediately hold the vol up home pwr buttons combo. That should also get you into recovery mode. But that said, I would still try my last.

I used the ODIN 3.12.3 that you posted and flashed QC2 again (Passed/succeeded). Still boot loops.
I can easily get into download mode but not recovery mode. I don't know of a way to power off, just reset by holding power button or (power button and vol down). I just realized how ridiculous this sounds but is there any way to actually power off the phone without loading android and holding power button, and selecting power off? As far as I know, there's only soft reset or hard reset.
I'm pretty sure my hardware buttons work fine since I need to hold power button, vol down, and home at the same time to enter download mode perfectly. Then I have to press volume up button to enter download mode. So all the buttons that's needed to enter recovery mode (power, volume down, and home) works.
Wonder if bad battery can be be the cause? I don't get any charging indicator (screen with battery animation) when I plug phone to USB charger. Seems to be able to hold a charge but not that long, no way for me to check battery percentage though.

I've not tried installing TWRP, could you please point me to where I can find it and how to install it? Also, would installing it trip up my knox?
I also flashed recovery.img by itself by extracting that from the ROM and converting it to recovery.tar.md5 using tar-Tool and successfully flashed recovery only but still no difference.

It's your only option right now. I was where you were and I have the same phone 925T. I flashed the rom I told you about then I flashed the stock nougat rom that just came out 2 days ago. I'm running the stock nougat and I'm happy at the moment. Battery and performance are great. I tried flashing all of the stock roms using ODIN and nothing would work but flashing that rom I linked you before worked and then I was able to go back to stock. Trip Knox sure but you will have a working phone again.
The reason why I went back to stock is because I need WIFI calling.

I used the ODIN 3.12.3 that you posted and flashed QC2 again (Passed/succeeded). Still boot loops.
I can easily get into download mode but not recovery mode. I don't know of a way to power off, just reset by holding power button or (power button and vol down). I just realized how ridiculous this sounds but is there any way to actually power off the phone without loading android and holding power button, and selecting power off? As far as I know, there's only soft reset or hard reset.
I'm pretty sure my hardware buttons work fine since I need to hold power button, vol down, and home at the same time to enter download mode perfectly. Then I have to press volume up button to enter download mode. So all the buttons that's needed to enter recovery mode (power, volume down, and home) works.
Wonder if bad battery can be be the cause? I don't get any charging indicator (screen with battery animation) when I plug phone to USB charger. Seems to be able to hold a charge but not that long, no way for me to check battery percentage though.

Before doing all this, if you don't want to void your warranty.
1-Download the stock NOUGAT, flash it using odin and then if it lets you go in recovery mode, factory reset your phone then try to boot. Give it 5-10 minutes to make sure it doesn't actually boot. I know the first boot takes a while so you will be stuck at the t-mobile logo. If after 10 minutes doesn't go on then try number 2.
2-Having the phone in download mode use the software smart switch.

If none of that works, either use your warranty or

So I just flashed the latest nougat stock firmware with ODIN. Flashed passed/succeeded. No difference, still boot loop Still cannot get into recovery mode but can get into download mode fine like before.
My phone is out of warranty so I'm just gonna buy a replacement battery off ebay and see if that makes any difference. Hope someone has other ideas. I'll use TWRP as a last resort. Maybe that will work but I don't know how not being able to get into stock recovery would be fixed by installing TWRP custom recovery. I suspect I would not be able to get into TWRP recovery either.

Why are you so concerned about tripping knox, since you are out of warranty anyways. And BTW it's a myth that a rooted phone loses warranty. I have had plenty of my phones covered under warranty and they were ALL rooted. With TWRP installed, you can use the advanced wipe actions to basically factory reset and load either Nougat or MM stock. I am rooted using stock just released Android 7 for TMobile firmware. Odin Firmware. Odin TWRP. Then install anything you like. Yes...knox tripped. Yes, you will lose Samsung Pay. For me not a big deal. Otherwise just fine. The warranty comany has to prove that your act of rooting caused the issue the phone has. Samsung will tell people that phone warranty is voind if rooted. But it's ONLY a line they are told to state. Again, I have used Samsung warranty direct...NOT TMobile and obtained free warranty service and my phones were rooted.

The biggest concern about tripping knox for me is that I lose Samsung Pay. It's actually the most useful thing I have on the phone. I can do pretty much every thing on my old phones that I need but it doesn't have samsung pay. I understand it's useless for most people, but for me it's the most important feature.
Do you think i would still have the same problem getting into recovery even if I flashed TWRP? Right now I can't even load stock recovery.

I really have no idea why you are having this issue. The one time my phone was so screwed up was I could ONLY fix by doing a complete factory reset including internal memory and that was via TWRP. Installing TWRP WILL kill Knox, therefore no more Samsung Pay...period. Have you tried smart switch out of curiosity?

I think my problem is worst than what you had before because I cannot even get into recovery mode not just a normal boot loop. This issue is boot loop and not being able to get into recovery mode.
I have not used smart switch yet. I was going to do an emergency software recovery but that would basically just wipe all internal memory and flash the stock rom. I thought I could save some of my data by just flashing stock rom with ODIN, which flashed perfectly every time but still boot loops.

The only thing I can think of is that your setup is so corrupted you basically have no choice here. It's kind of the old adage about knowing it's important to occasionally back up the internal data, but just never get to it. I'm kind of paranoid to every now and then make sure I have copies of stuff around. I know it's zero solace for you, but without getting into recovery mode, there is no way to get to the Internal stuff that I know of. I'm assuming you never used smartswitch to backup or just use a computer to copy paste Internal stuff to a folder for saving.

Try this stock Recovery. I found a post I made almost two years ago with a link to this file. Use the password to open the file and try ODIN again

I realize I'm kinda grasping at straws here short of a complete nuke of your setup....but sometimes you have to bite the bullet so to speak

Really appreciate your help. I'm starting to think more that it's a bad battery now. Hope that's just it instead of the main board.
I left phone on charge for a few hours (constantly boot looping the whole time). I'm able to power off the phone by holding Power button and Volume down for 10 seconds. Screen is completely off, no boot looping.
Step1: When try to simply turn phone on by holding power button for three seconds, the first samsung galaxy s6 edge logo screen pops up but then goes away and phone looks to be off. Like it's trying to get power from the battery but can't.
Step2: If I keep holding the power button, that first logo screen would turn on and off as if it's a boot loop. If I let go, then phone is off again.
Step3: If I go into download mode and select Cancel (restart phone), it goes into boot loop with only first logo screen again. It loops until I hard reset by holding power button and volume down again for 10 seconds. Then phone is off. Same thing repeats if I go back to Step1 again.
Hi,
I have a Galaxy S9 which I got from Vodafone. I was tired of being unable to remove their bloatware so I tried to flash a stock rom using Odin.
Now the phone is locked on the Samsung logo and will not do anything. Not even power off normally, I have to press power + vol down to shut it down but then it turns on again and gets stuck in the Samsung logo.
I have tried to boot it with power + vol + bixby but no joy.
Is there any solution? Please advise!
List model S9 (ie: G960F)
List previous firmware
List firmware you flashed
Make sure you flashed a firmware with a higher or equal bootloader version as shown here
G960FXXU5CSF2 <<< Version 5 (You can use this exact firmware from United Kingdom (XEU)
Flash all 4 parts of the firmware together with Odin 3.13.1, do not change anything in Odin settings
Use CSC (not HOME_CSC) although HOME_CSC should have worked originally if something had not gone wrong, now we will use CSC to force a factory reset and hopefully get it to boot again

Thanks for the tip! My problem is that the phone is not being detected by the computer - it freezes on the "Samsung Galaxy S9 secured by Knox - Powered by android" screen.
I can only turn it off, and only by pressing power + vol down.
It's a G960F all right, and the image I tried to flash was PDA G960FXXU5CSF2 and CSC G960FOXM5CSF2. The previous version, alas, I don't remember.

Press and hold Bixby & Volume Down & Power from a powered off state, you should not even see the Samsung logo, it should just boot to DL mode
If it does not immediately boot into download mode, keep them pressed until the phone reboots a second time and see if it enters DL mode then
You cannot brick DL mode as it is nothing to do with the firmware, just keep trying to get into that mode so you can flash

It worked: it's alive!
Many many thanks, mate!
Don't know if you're more into wine, beer or whiskey, but I owe you one.
Mega thanks!
