then as the upper guy said it's i9500 so no way to show it then but u can predict how many times you flashed by remembering how many times you flashed a Rom or Root or kernel via Odin if never then its 0 if you did it depends on how many times of the following above

sure thing, just flash this in stock recovery no need for CWM, it works and gets your phone rooted

Sorry how do i get to stock recovery? Volume up, power and home gives nothing.
Also volume down, power and home does not enter download mode.
is that a custom kernel?where did he get that?tell me...is it work?
btw, youre a senior member. please don't be a bad example for newer member here. please put your answer in faq section next time. to root your sons device, you may use super one click from shortfuse if you can't get into recovery nor odin mode.

no...what i mean is the kernel in his son's phone. i've used the same method to root my phone too. (lol)
@clauss: tell me...where did your son got that kernel. we're developing a new kernel for SGY at this moment. that kernel could be helpfull for us.

Thanks a lot that did root my phone, now i can use Titanium backup to restore some apps and databases. I know i should not ask that here, but how could i gain access to stock recovery or download mode to flash a custom rom?

if the three combo doesn't work
maybe you can try to use only 2

thats ok. I saw you as high spirited learner and you have read so much information lately. its normal if you got confused when trying to understand some technical term. maybe you should take it slower. too many new information could blow your head
yeah. blows my head too much. then forgot. -_-
OK I got lost, so how exactly did he root his L version? kurotsugi method or with deathnotice01rootaccess.zip?
I have the same model and kernel, and would like to root it.

the picture wont help on what phone model that is...refer to your phone ,remove back cover and check..or check the box...
assuming thats a galaxy s I9000 , go into download mode(you are safe as long as you can get into download mode), flash stock ROM via ODIN or Heimdall....
my model is gt-I9000
according to the back of the phone...
and how to flash stock rom exactly?
He wrote that he can't get into dl mode... and by booting into recovery, he gets the blackscreen of death... that's really strange.

actually he wrote he can get into DL mode, but not recovery....but yes its also strange why he gets that ! when going into recovery...
when you power on by holding volume down+home button+Power button..do you get download mode? the big triangle with the android digging? if yes the you are safe...
to answer your questions: refer to here for guided HOW TO's to flash via odin / heimdall, it also includes guides to get out of that phone-!-computer...
dark_knight35 i can get to download mode...only to recovery i can't
ok good news
i did flash of stock rom into the phone so i have a new recovery that work but the rom is not work and when i do in the recovery mount usb storage i don't see anything in the pc from the phone..
what to do now?
Explain more in detail is vital for getting any help.
Not intended to mock your English but saying "rom is not work" is really diffuse.

[Q] HELP: Phone wont start anymore

Hey Guys,
My Phone is completely stock and i have not installed any firmware but last night my Phone suddenly entered a boot loop which woke me up.
At that moment i just pulled the battery. But this morning my Phone wouldn`t start anymore, it just shows the logo
What i tried:
Boot into recovery: No go, it just displays the blue text booting into recovery
Normaal boot: No go, just shows the samsung logo.
Tried emergengy recovery via samsung kies tool: It ends succesfully with the same result, no boot
What else can i try without voiding warranty?
I want to try anything i can before sending it back to the store because that will take a few weeks before i have a phone again

Did you try and flashed rom again ( odin) ?? another option would be to flash (odin) a custom recovery see if it let you enter it and do a factory reset ..only problem is it will trigger your knox bit to 1..
@lloop: Are you completely stock, or did you attempt to install a custom recovery? The behavior you describe is identical to the behavior witness by myself and others when trying to install TWRP 2.8.5.0 on the S4.
One other thing that might help here. On occasion I've had the device get stuck in recovery. Going into download mode, cancelling download mode, and then holding down the buttons to go into recovery often works.

Yes i did that several times...power button volume up and main button below the screen...i flashed twrp recovery right now after flashing stock firmware...wit no use....only download mode whic i can enter....foes that mean the phone is brick?but it can flash firmware successfuly every time i flash stock firmware it gives PASS....
Is there any custom rom can be flashed via odin?
Looks like you are doing every right and it could be a bad memory chip in the phone.
I think the last hope would be to take the phone to a shop with a riff or octopus box and have them force flash the phone. If that doesn't solve the problem, memory chip is probably defective.
Thanx for everyone who provided his help, knwoledge and experience to solve my issue.
Appreciate it from my heart????
Have you solved the problem ? If yes can tell us what did the trick ?

Hi Alitaleb,
I read back the posts, and it seems you have a problem close to mine (not exactelly the same but similar..) see here :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help/help-understanding-to-wipe-device-t3679424
I was thinking of something about your problem, are you sure that the volume button is not defective ? I explain myself:
when you want to go to the recovery mode, the volume up has to be pushed, if the up button does not respond correctly then you may think you push up but in fact it is the down position that is detected by your phone...
I would suggest you to dismantle the back of your phone and check if there is no some dirt or simply broken part in the volume button..
Cheers,
