All i did was restart the phone, than realized it wouldn't boot up! its stuck at the att page. Ive trying to go manually reboot it several times. took out the battery that didn't work either. I rooted it again nope that didn't work. It wont go to recovery mode! (Hold Home Button + Power + Up) just turns off. I'm desperate please help. Should I just return it?

If wipe data doesn't work, look for a stock rom compatible with your device and carrier, and flash it using odin.

Friend, I had the same problem like you. The difference is that my phone could connect through Odin. I revive it as showed in my post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41195930#post41195930
I dont know if that procedure could help you, but, if yes, I'll be happy to help you!!!
Good luck!

[Q] Download mode

Hello.
I have a problem with a Stock G3.
How do i get it in to recovery? Tried power + volum up/down + home etc etc..
The problem is that the phone has a locked security pattern and the customer does not remember his e-mail/password so i need to rest it.
Plz help
try it like this : Vol down/up + home + power
dont work
Stock ROMs does NOT include CWM...
You should flash a rom with CWM or g3mod kernel.
Maybe you mean download mode?
sorry - not recovery but download mode, changed topic...
is it possible to reset the phone in download mode?

Uuh you dont need cwm recovery to factory reset.

Recovery is vol up+vol down+home+power(All buttons should be pressed in order). Hold till you see I5801 bootlogo. Try it.
Edit : - This is for recovery. In download mode you can t factory reset.
Okaj so i cant reset the phone in download mode, what can i do?
The phone has a locked security pattern and they dont know the e-mail/password to unlock.
Can i use Kies to factory reset the phone? Any suggestions?
You can flash stock xxjps or flash another rom

Uh as I said you can boot into recovery (vl up/down + home + power) then wait till it boots. Or you can reflash the ROM if you know which on it is

Go in download mode and flash kyrillos rom non oc version.
Then go in recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik cache
Then flash stock rom.
Now you are sure you have a factory phone.
Ps: this is the long way. If you just need recovery flash the rom you prefer
So much not needed to do a simple factory reset!
Do this:
turn off phone
press home & vol up/down(both) keeping them pressed press power button and on gt-I5800/1 logo release all buttons
you'll see stock samsung recovery(just 4 options available)
use vol keys to navigate and home to select
select wipe data/factory reset and let it happen
Done!

This does not work on this phone for some reason Doing it exactly as you have described...
Must probably do it the hard way and flash CWM etc...
Goto download mode and flash a .tar as one package that contains only datafs.rfs. You ll find it in CyanogenMod thread I think.

With cache.rfs for a full reset
Or a better idea
Open back cover of the phone
On the bottom left (near the screw) just where the battery ends there is what small hole
That's the hard reset switch
Press it with a small pin and done!
Remove sdcard if you wanna preserve sdcard data

[Q] Bricked after dirty flash?

Can someone help me out? I just installed Clean Rom with a dirty flash over OSE Rom. ( I know I should have done it clean). After trying to reboot I got stuck on black screen with this: [810] Fastbootboot mode started
[860] udc_start()
I have TWRP 2.6.3.2 installed as my recovery. I tried pressing power/volume down at same time; takes me back to same screen. Any thing you guys suggest trying?
That happened to me once. I also could not get back into recovery mode. The only option I could think of is to put the phone in download mode and restore the phone to stock. There are threads posted on how to do this

I found an easier way. When powered off hold volume down and power. When you see LG logo release buttons and press them again. when you are in the factory reset screen just press the power button 2 times and it should take you to recovery. This works for me in the T-mobile variant running TWRP.

Sprint S4 Stuck at Yellow Splash/Bootloop

So I got this S4 shortly after it came out running 4.2. I flashed CM 10.2 shortly afterwards, and ran that until the first milestone of CM11 was released. I switched to that for about 2 months, but decided I wanted to return to stock this evening.
I followed Qbking77's guide on unrooting to MDC, and all seemed well until I got to the restart stage and the phone started hanging at the yellow Sprint logo until switching to a bootloop. I've since tried reflashing the image multiple times and no dice.
I have a nandroid backup from 1-18-14 that I took after installing CM11. At this point I'd take anything functional, CM or stock.
After flashing mdc in odin just turn off the phone. Boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset. Reboot. Profit.

Maybe I'm confused but... Isn't that when you hold volume up + power? If I understand what I'm doing, I think I'm only able to get download mode and not recovery.

I see.
So I'm tried those on the phone and I can get download mode, but not recovery mode. It will flash with the text in the top left corner, but then go right back into the boot loop like before.

So... I couldn't get recovery mode to work and I assumed that somehow I had erased it.
I went searching for tutorials on how to restore a stock recovery + rom and found an application that acts as an Odin All In One.
I'm not allowed to link yet, but something tells me that the author Rwilco12 is known around here because it's a pretty helpful piece of work he's done. I used the tool and suddenly I was able to boot into recovery per leaderbuilder's instructions.
The good news is: ITS ALIVE!
Thanks everyone for your help!
If you have an SD card and are stuck at the yellow sprint screen take it out and reboot the phone and it'll boot. After that first boot you shouldn't have a problem anymore

After holding down the volume up and power you can let go of power and hold the volume down. This will make sure it boots into recovery.

send the rom to sd card and rename it to update.zip(if u have stock recovery)
switch off ur phone,press menu+power+volume down key,release after s4 name comes up.
Click on volume up,if u have stock recovery click on factory reset,apply update.zip,wait for it.
If u have custom recovery,u will have many options,wipe everything u see,select file from sd card flash.

Yes, but now the phone don't boot.
You need a download mode jig. Can make one yourself or buy in ebay or something.

Well that's a problem. You might try the jig but I've never had to use one so don't know if or how well it'll work.
Sent from my Nexus 5
Seeing that you said you can enter recovery via ADB, you phone should not require a jig I believe, as it tries to boot and. Start ADB which allowed you to enter there. Also did you say that while on recovery your phone starts pressing random buttons. Like say up and down I assume? Just wondering if you have broken volume keys or malfunctioning keys.
And which model S4 do you have?

Have a problem putting custom recovery on my s6 edge plus g928g

Hey so im not really new here just made a new account because i forgot my old one......so i recently bought an s6 edge plus and decided to root it with arter kernel....i did everything oem unlock usb debugging....then i download the kernel and super su and put it on my phone......then opened odin put the recovery in AP....then put the phone in download mode and clicked start.....so it said pass and then it was still stuck on downloading so i rebooted by holding volume down and power.......then my phone turned on as usual so i switched it off and entered the recovery again and the samsung default android just popped up....ive seen a guy on youtube doing the same thing and he got to the recovery but fore the same old samsung recovery kept popping up....any ideas or help ?
Before you flash a custom recovery on odin you must uncheck autoreboot on odin and then once you flash custom recovery you have to manually turn of phone and turn on using recovery combo

Don't switch it off. Straight after it starts up after using the download combo move you finger from the volume down to the volume up button, then you should be in custom recovery.
