A couple of days ago i tried to install a custom recovery on my phone.. but for none..
i've followed the instructions.. as careful as possible..
downloaded all the required files for my i9500 but still.. it just won't be installed..
I've downloaded Odin.. TWRP/CWM.. i tried to install both.. even though it says Success..
after the phone reboots.. i press Volume up/power/home button together., until the logo appears.. that's when i leave all the buttons..
all i see is an "android robot" that says Error... then A laying down android robot that under it says "no command."
And the original recovery..????
What in hell am i doing wrong???
P.S I've installed the drivers.. <-- And restarted the laptop after i installed them...
..
Help would be appreciated.. Thanks in advance..

Hello,
I couldn't boot my Galaxy Tab (european version) anymore, so I decided to flash it. Everything worked well, it rebooted but still got stuck at the same postition than before (Galaxy Logo). So I rebooted again, but now I have a white cellphone, a yellow exclamation mark and a computer symbol right upon turning it on. I can't get into download mode anymore. The only button combination that works it pressing volume-up and volume-down together with the power button. Then I get to a "POWER RESET or unknown download mode" screen. What can I do?? Please help.

Happens/happened to a lot of guys/galls. Me too...
In Odin i picked repartion and used the pit-file from Roto. Also used the JMI-build van Roto . So get the files here:

Its possible that after the succesfull flash you have to flash the baseband-modem. Flash the baseband in Odin- phone. You can find the latest here;

Thanks again. But now I am stuck at the "GalaxyTAB / Samsung" Boot screen. It stays there forever. I can't connect with adb or Kies, it is also not deteced (lsusb shows nothing). Any hints?

You say 'lsusbs' does not show?! Are the drivers installed? If not update the drivers., and try flashing again.

No, in Linux it does not show up when I type "lsusb", which means list all usb attached devices. As soon as I was able to flash with odin (in a windows vm) prior to that it showed up in the list of devices attached to my computer.
So, when it is not in flashing mode but stuck at the "GalaxyTab Samsung" bootscreen, it cannot be detected neither by Windows nor by Linux. So I can't access it with adb (Linux) or with Kies (Windows).
From my G1 I always could access with adb when it was stuck at the bootscreen.
I believe it could have something to do with a protection built in the bootloader. How can I replace the bootloader?

I am opening a new thread for this, since it is a different problem than the original question.
I was flashing a new kernel and then after reboot the phone got stuck at the LG logo. I couldn't and still can't get into recovery-mode. I tried this this and that. But nothing worked.
I can get into emergencymode though, so i tried this page, i have flashed a couple of firmware kdz-files in emergencymode. Some got errors, but the only that changed after that i got to "moving" LG logo (after i hard resetted the phone again after flashing). And when i plug the phone in my laptop i get a battery-icon. Nothing more...
I am at a loss! Can someone help me?
eeuh after like 15 times i got into CWM! Now restoring a backup, fingers crossed...

Now the phone is in a bootloop...:silly: after the lg-logo and after the cyanogenmod logo i get into android, but when the message comes "android is being upgraded" and "starting apps" (dont know if this is exactly the same in english, but in dutch it says "Android wordt bijgewerkt" and "Apps starten"), the phone restarts itself and the process starts all over again...

Can you enter emergency mode?
If yes, use lg official b2capp program and flash again everything by your IMEI.

yes, i can get into emergencymode. But the B2Capp program freezes after it tries to find an update... Now trying LG PCsuite...
[edit] LG PC Suite cant find the phone. Now back to kdz-files...
ok, im at a dead end:
- i can get in emergencymode, not in recovery;
- i can install kdz-files from laptop with the phone in emergency-mode, but only the official kdz-files are installed without errors. All other options for installing firmware from a pc fail, i cant get it installed (b2capps) or i can but the program doesn't recognize the form (lg pc suite). Flashing new CWM from laptop failed also.
- even with kdz-files installer android doesn't go past second boot screen (the live one). I got past it once, but i cant repeat the process. i got to CWM then, but when i tried to restore a backup it got in a bootloop. After that all attempts getting past bootscreen have failed.
I got my old phone back, but if somebody has a idea how to revive the LG i'll appreciate it! Right now i'm considering it bricked.
Try To reflash it with LG Software update tool (not PC suite) in emergency mode (voldown and plug in USB) if this won't work i can't help you

Guys,
I was using the Cyanogenmod 11 for about 2 weeks and I always got the "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" message and the phone always booted up fine 90% of the times. Today I got the message saying that there was a new version of the firmware and I clicked ok for the phone to restart and begin the update process.
After that, I was stuck in the "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" message no matter what I did.
I entered the recovery mode and wiped the cache partition to see if that solved the problem. After this, I'm not able to access the recovery mode anymore and the phone is stuck on the samsung logo.
So I put it in download mode, opened Odin (It recognized the phone just fine) and flashed the original firmware in order to unbrick the phone. Got a PASS on Odin and I was still stuck on bootloop with no recovery mode.
Tried flash it again with the pit file (thought it would fix the partition) and the problem stills perssists.
I tried to run the Cyanogenmod installer and it doesn't recognize the phone anymore, saying the model is not compatible. Odin still recognizes the phone as always when I put it in download mode.
Any ideas?
Have I lost the phone ?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Best Regards

Hi,
When you run the stock firmware through odin , you must wipe the cache an data before and after the flash.
Did you do that?

Hi,
Are you sure you are trying to access it correctly?
Try holding the power button + volume up.
When the blue writing comes up , let go of all the buttons , and tap volume down.
If that still does not work , install the stock firmware again , and see if you can then get back to recovery mode.

Already did that, still no sucess. It enters the download mode normally but when I try to enter the recovery mode the blue text appears and then the screen goes black and the phone tries to boot and gets stuck on the samsung logo. (And yes I already tried holding the buttons until something else appears on the screen and nothing happens. )
And yes I'm trying to acess it correctly.
Thansks!

Unfortunately ,I do not know AT&T firmwares.
Perhaps someone HERE can help.

Hi guys, I am attempting to unroot my phone and I am getting stuck at the "download mode" part. I enter download mode by holding + key while I plug in USB, fine. But then my phone goes to the "firmware update" screen and just sits there at 0%, saying "rooted" in red at the bottom. My PC shows a dialog box that says "installing drivers", but after a few minutes it says "failed". I've done a factory reset hoping that would help, but it didn't.
No clue what to do... any help?
ps. I attached a screenshot of my pc.
Any help, anyone?

So here is my sadness. i got my Zenfone2 back Z00A (ME551L) from having the screen repaired from asus themself. it was sluggish so i factory reset and it corrupted. i tried to flash the stock ram but then it went to hell. long story short i ended up wiht the White USB screen which means hard brick(correct if im wroong). i followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256 to try and get it back to normal. the 1st time it flashed it worked in the Downloader (FW+OS complete). But when using Flash tools it hung up on the yellow flash button. I have no clue what happend. I try to start from the beggining but it wont complete like it did at 1st. So im stuck with the 4 color boot to fastboot. Wont connect to ADB so i cant sideload or recover from ADB in recovery. any help plz. i just miss my zenfone 2 ahha.
so in recap:
It wont flash fully in Flashtools 1.14.
Wont FW+OS complete in the downloader tool(only FW finishes)
No recovery mode options like it disappeared
When i let it boot normal it says updating with the android guy for 30 seconds then goes to dead guy with error.
