Hello,
I tried installing a ROM (Axura) for the first time on my Vibrant. This is what I did:
1. Rooted using z4root's app.
2. Backed up installed ROM (stock 2.1 update 1) using ROM Manager app.
3. Installed CWM.
4. Downloaded Axura v2.3.0.0 from their forum.
5. Placed it in internal SD and renamed to update.zip (backed up the original on my external SD). <-- Possibly the cause of my dismay.
6. Installed it through CWM.
It was installing fine till it got stuck at the fourth "copying file..." line. Was there for over an hour. Now, every time I boot my device it shows Vibrant splash screen and goes to Android System Recovery instead of loading up.
Can anyone please help me out? I think it's a soft brick, since recovery is still being loaded up. Please!
NOTE:
1. reinstall packages gives this error:
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
2. abd displays: "error: device not found".
1st you should not have changed auxura to update.zip
You need to odin back to stock.
I might be wrong
But changing name doesnt really matter. It look like u just got a bad download. Odin back and redownload the Rom.
bionix 1.2.1 with adw launcher ex
Yes odin back to stock. Then Root, then get CWM and install. Do not rename the Axura or any custom rom,, this will make it hard for you keeping track. THen after root go to recovery >install rom on sd card> choose> then find the one you want and click that one and you are good to go.
thanks for all the responses! I tried ODIN, but the issue is I can never get into download mode. If I press vol+/- and power I get into recovery. When I try the same with USB connected, the screen keeps looping at the charge screen.
ODIN was able to detect the device in recovery mode at times. but if I try recovery it gives cannot open port.
I'm following the steps (and the required files) from androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/
Turn the phone off hold up & down on the vibrant volume then plug the usb in while holding it down. Make sure odin is open first. No need to touch the power button.

When I try vol+/- and then plugging in the usb (not pressing power at all), it still brings me to recovery screen. the only difference is it skips the "Vibrant SAMSUNG" splash screen.
Also, i realized tht connecting to a different usb port, the command "adb devices" lists the device in recovery. but "adb reboot download" (or any othr reboot command) simply hangs thr, until break command is given..
Any help to get me into download mode? it's been only 4 months, I don't want to discard the device so soon.

Did you try pulling your battery. then press vol + - while holding the power button while inserting the battery?
I used this guide to root my TF and install CWM. But I have never been able to boot into Recovery. I still get the green Android with the exclamation mark.
I thought I would retry running the cwm.bat again from that guide to see if maybe it just didn't install correctly, but now I can't get ADB Devices to show my device when it's in APX mode. With the device on I can get ADB Devices to show it, but when I power off, and then do Power + Vol Up it boots into APX and my computer makes the sound that a USB was attached... but it never shows up in ADB Devices.
So, I can't update CWM, I can't reinstall it... what do I do?
Any takers?
Yes, I know, everyone knows how to enter safe mode, bootloader, and recovery.
I found there are some inconsistencies to entering and using recovery depending on your which software you are running. In addition there are multiple ways of entering stock recovery.
Also I always see people asking this question because somehow the keypress order is not intuitive.
Entering Safe Mode
Tablet booted and running Android
Press/Hold Power button until power menu shows up
Tap/Hold Power off option
Choose OK to reboot in safe mode
Tablet powered down
Press/Hold Power button until Google screen shows up, RELEASE Power button
Press/Hold VolDn until Android has booted up
If successful, you will see Safe mode overlayed on bottom left of screen.
Entering Bootloader (ie fastboot mode)
Tablet booted and running Android
From adb
adb reboot bootloader
can also choose recovery from menu after bootloader comes up
From app
Use Quick Boot from Google Play
Tablet powered down
Power+VolDn while booting to enter bootloader
Release buttons after you see bootloader screen
Entering Stock Recovery
Tablet booted and running Android
From adb
adb reboot recovery
From app
Use Quick Boot from Google Play
Tablet powered down
Power+VolUp while booting to enter recovery
You can release buttons after you see Google on screen
When Stock Recovery starts you will see the Android fallen down screen
To bring up the Recovery menu
Power+VolUp to show recovery menu
Must be this sequence Press/Hold Power, THEN Press/Release VolUp, release Power
Within menu
VolUp to move up
VolDn to move down
Power to select
In addition, I found an inconsistency with JSS15J stock recovery that wasn't in the JWR66N recovery
While at the Android fallen down screen if you mistakenly press
VolUp
instead of
Power+VolUp
you will still get the Recovery menu.
However, VolUp will no longer function. It will instead become a toggle for switching between the Recovery menu and the Android fallen down screen
Android fallen down screen
VolUp to toggle recovery menu
Within menu
VolUp does not work since it toggles recovery menu
VolDn to move down
Power to select

Please see RED section
Does the presence or absence of the red exclamation triangle mean anything?
Wot does safe mode do?

I don't remember if there are two images one with and one without the triangle. I think I've only seen the image with the red exclamation point.
I've never seen anything to indicate the red exclamation mark is something you need to pay attention to.
Now if you apply an update and there is an error, then that is something I would pay attention to.

It doesn't load the stuff you added.
It is similar to safe mode on a PC, used to diagnose whether the issue is in the stock ROM or is in something you introduced by installing some app.
I Have a probleme

oh sorry i was panic so i searched in every thing
Bootloader
If none of that works, try the command with a dash "adb reboot-bootloader" Depends on your device sometimes, sometimes unplugging your device right after you enter this command will keep it from getting stuck at the boot logo screen. If that doesn't work, hold the power button to power device down and then boot it into recovery instead using the button combo. Then you can wipe cache & start all over again.
I'm not even able to get into Recovery. I can get to the bootloader, then I select "Recovery mode" and it shows the Google logo, but it never goes into recovery. I have let it sit at the Google logo for a couple of hours, and end up just holding down the power button to shut it down.
I have tried Skipsofts toolkit, as well as Wug's, to try to unlock the bootloader. This ends up with the device hanging at the "Unlock bootloader" screen after selecting "Yes". Again, I have left it in this state for well over an hour with no change.
Here's some info on my 2013 Nexus 7:
KitKat 4.4.4
Never rooted
Never unlocked bootloader
HW version rev-e
Bootloader version FLO-04.02
I suspect my Nexus knew I was supposed to go on travel next week and is faking sick.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi guys i have a google nexus 5 and it is locked state. It is getting booted again and again but it jiust reaches google logo and again restarts. Safe boot is also enabled so i cant enter in recovery mode also. Please help me ASAP.
HELP
I know I'm a retard, so please spare me the ridicule.
I accidentally flashed CWM BEFORE CF-AUTO-ROOT. Now when I boot into "download" mode, I get the droid that's flat on its back with a red triangle on top of its chest. I get the error message "no command", and when I plug in my USB cable, neither ODIN or the computer detects the phone as a device anymore!! Good god, what do I do?? Please tell me ADB can fix this! Or something else that I'm not aware of..

That is probably the recovery you're talking about and not download mode. You access download mode by doing the following;
- turn phone off ( or remove battery and put back in but don't press power button )
- press Vol Down + Power + Home Button all at the same time until the warning message appears on the screen then let go of the buttons
-now pres Vol Up and phone will enter download mode
At this point you can either flash CWM or CF Auto Root. But make sure you use the right file for your os ( 4.3 or 4.4 ) or you will soft brick the phone. It doesn't matter if you install CWM first because you can just flash supersu using CWM to gain root.

Holy crap, that was close. I used "ADB reboot download", and it bypassed the farked recovery. Odin detected it and CF-AUTO-ROOT I did! :highfive:
For anyone else who runs into the same situation, download the Android SDK, plug in the phone, start the ADB daemon from a command prompt ("adb start-server"), run "adb reboot download", and poof, you're back into Odin mode..

Wouldn't have been easier doing it by button presses? I mean see what happened.

Thank you sir. That probably would've been easier than using ADB. I think the Red Cross took a little too much blood this morning..

LG G6 H871 unrooted
I just can't get into fastboot or recovery mode. I've tried everything on the internet.
I've tried turning off the phone. Holding down the volume down button and then plugging in the USB cable.
I've tried adb command "adb reboot bootloader" which just reboots the phone until I can see the "enter your PIN" screen
The closest I got to the recovery mode was using "adb reboot recovery" which gave me the "no command" screen.
Any tips on this?
Have you enabled OEM Unlock option under Developer settings?
Yes. "Enable OEM unlock" and "USB debugging" enabled.
both oem unlock is on and usb debugging on and my computer has accepted the fingerprint from teh device to shake with adb. . still cant get into fastboot mode.what to do.
Is your phone rooted? If so use flashify to reflash recovery. You do know that if you want to boot in recover you have to let the power key go and repress it once your screen goes on right?
You can also try phone off. Holding volume up while you insert usb cable. Might be a tool that allows a command to be send to reboot it in fastboot mode? If not downgrade its firmware..

If I understand correctly, when you got to the No Command" screen, you were actually in Recovery. From my experience, the No Command screen is like a "greeting", if you will. Once you see that screen, you need to fiddle with the power & volume buttons. I believe the correct combination is to press and hold the power button. Then press and release the volume up button but continue to hold power button. If that is not the correct sequence you will need to Google for the correct order. Reference.
Considering that you are not rooted, there is not much you can do in the stock recovery.
EDIT 2 - Realized that this thread is over a year old and the OP has probably moved on. Didn't realize another member revived it. Sorry.
