Well, I suggest you to try VillainROM 2.1. You will have to flash cf-root (the version of it has to be the same as the version of your current f/w), connect your phone to pc and get the VR 2.1 into your sd card then power off your phone, volume up + power + home button - do a full wipe - choose to install a zip from sd, flash villain and you will be fine..hope so. If you get stuck @ any point, you can scream for help cuz I will be here to support you mate

Forgot to get you this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 It might help you though.

The main problem right now is I can't reboot my GSII so I can't do anything now.
Do you have any suggestion?

Try to enter download mode (volume down + power button + home button) and flash with odin a stock rom.

The main problem now is I can power on my GSII so I can't enter any download mode and recovery mode.
I don't know how to do now and please help me, thank you.

Just power off your phone. If doesn't work by the power button, pull out the battery. When the phone is powered off, press the 3 buttons same time and you will enter download mod.

Sorry for my typo mistake, now I can't power on my GS2 so I don't know how to enter to download mode

You dont have to power on your device to enter download mode. Just push VOLUME DOWN BUTTON, POWER BUTTON and HOME BUTTON in the same time. Then, push volume down to enter odin mode. After that, connect your cable to your device and press start in odin (before that, dont forget to put the stock f/w into PDA in Odin)

My GSII still no response and I think the row is dead and can't bootup so how can I do? Tks brother

So after your flashing width odin did odin say pass or complete?
You may still be able to get into download mode but just not see it,
When you hold the key combination then plug it into odin and see if it comes
Up with the yellow box that tells your if your device is connected.
edit : so you hold power, volume down and home then you have to press up to enter download mode, after this plug it in to odin and see if you can see the phone.

There is no response after boot my phone and it hasn't say pass or complete.
Then the phone can't open again and I don't know how to do now, please help.

if stuck on bootloop go to recovery and wipe data..

you can use cwm to wipe system and data and root/flash a custom rom
or you can use odin to flash stock rom (see dokys thread at top of dev section for firmware)

my device isnt rooted so i believe i cannot do the cwm method?

Steps:

2. press volume up + home + power buttons
when u r in recovery the touch screen is disabled so u should use

power button to go back
home button to select

[Q] Strange: Boot logo stuck, no recovery mode.

Hi guys,
Been a samsung user since S2, unfortunately ive made people bring me their devices so i can polish them, if not fix.
I got an i9505 at the moment with a very strange issues:
It boots up, hangs on the boot logo.
It boots in Download Mode, but volume up button wont work, i've opened the device and yet the button was fine.
Sometimes just connecting it to the PC using USB, the device vibrates as if it's turning on, though it vibrates every 2-3 seconds. Device is Off btw.
Recovery Mode wont boot, Home Button + Volume Up + Power Button until the thing vibrates, i release the power button, and it just hangs there. Makes me doubt it is not even reaching the point where it knows where the recovery is. However, i got it in to the blueish "booting recovery..." once, but it hanged there as well.
Am clueless here, (re)searching usually brings me near the answer, but it hasnt, i hope the answers here will do it for somebody else.
Edit: since i am doing this out of pure compassion, i have no idea what is loaded inside .

Flash a stock rom base in your country mate via odin and you can download it from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ , then once your done downloading the file, Boot into Download mode (Power+VolumeDown) , Open Odin select PDA /AP , Connect both cables (Wait until you get a blue sign in Odin)and flash away.If you encounter any issues with the firmware (Any FC, Bootloop etc)Boot into recovery mode (power+vol up),Choose to wipe/factory reset. (THIS WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA INCLUDING YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD! Then choose reboot and you should be good to go! Have a nice day

Mate, is there a way to flash through Odin without pressing the Vol Up button, cause i am not aware of that?
I cant get past the first point of download mode, to actually enter you need to press Vol up.

Hence the thread. There was no other option left.
I usually do this to gain the knowledge for future use, is this a common death for the S4. the user that had it is definitely not a flasher, what couldve gone wrong?

[Q] Bricked lgp700 after flashing cm 11.0

Hello,
I am very new to rooting etc. I rooted my phone a few days ago, unlocked bootloader and tried to flash cm11.0 with rom manager (cwmg) following this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521239
Unfortunately I didn´t understand the instructions well, so after wiping caches, instead of doing a full format I did a user data etc format (which i now think was a factory reset). Tried flashing, didn´t succeed.
Anyway, when I try to switch it on I only get the lg logo and then the batery charging thingy When I try to go to recovery mode with volume up power and menu button, my phone goes on a loop of lg and cyanomod logos untill infinity ( Have to take off the battery). Tried to use heimdall (as i have a mac) to flash kdz back to it, but phone was not recognized. On my pc tried the same, but again phone not seen. I can see it on my computer as an unrecognized external usb but cannot explore. Any ideas on what to do??
thanks in advance

As soon as you plug your USB into your phone, hold down the volume up (+) button and the power button and release them after holding them down for about 2 to 3 seconds. Then, install the USB driver for your phone with the LG Mobile Support Tool. Secondly, download and install the LG PC Suite program and last but not least, download the KDZ program. Install the correct firmware for your phone and make sure you select 'EMERGENCY' from the list on the top right of the KDZ program. Select your downloaded firmware file and start the program. If everything worked out, the program should crash after it's done and your phone should reboot. Disconnect your phone from the computer if it doesn't reboot and try to boot it up again.
You can find all of these programs along with tutorials on how they work by searching on either XDA or Google.

did forcing recovery/download work ?

release all buttons except power button when you get a vibration
release the power button immediately after the lg logo has appered

[Q] Galaxy Note 4 stuck in boot loop with No Command window no acces to recovery mode

I've encountered the following problem with my Galaxy Note 4: I just bought it online from a guy who turned out to be a fraud and I was not able to find or contact him again via the internet market place. So that was really stupid of me...and expensive...and I regret it very much and with hind site I should have picked up the signs but...o well you got the picture...I got ripped.
Anyways after careful inspection it turned out to be a real genuine Note 4 N910F with 64 Gb but with a korean or chinese or something recovery mode (I saw it once when I got home), an imei not to be found on any stolen phone list and working correctly with an european rom that includes English and Dutch at that point.
That's when I decided to factory reset it and then I got into trouble again: For some reason it got stuck in a boot loop with just a No Command message. Normally you can reach the recovery mode by pressing Volume Up +Home +Power but now nothing happens. It's not a real brick but with just the No Command message and no access to the recovery mode I don't know how to fix this.
Can anyone help me with a clue on how to get out of a No Command loop without recovery mode? Or how to get into recovery mode if start with Key Up etc does not work? Or any other clue that could help me?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Rene (aka the guy who got ripped off but hopes to save the phone)

Can you get into download mode?

Thanks dr.mOx for responding!
I tried both volume up+home+power to get into recovery mode and also volume down+home+power to get into download mode but in both cases the device starts and shows me the android robot on it's back with a red warning triangle containing an exclamation mark and below the robot the message "No command." . The screen blinks every two or three seconds. The power button is not shutting the phone down in this state. I have to remove the battery to retry.

Battey out. Then in. Go to download mode. Flash stock rom with odin
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Hi Ozzyblack. The thing is that, if I'm correct, when I press volume down+home+power to get into download mode I expect some sort of menu to appear asking to go into download mode or not. Am I correct? I saw same sceendump about that. And now I keep getting the No Command window. Do you think I miss something here? I do press volume down first, then home (keeping volume down pressed), and them the power button (keeping all buttons pressed). After a few seconds the display turns a bit more grey for a sec and then the android robot appears. But no message of sorts about getting into download mode.

Hi reborn67.
**Only if you have a galaxy note 4 N910F model**
If you can get into download mode your safe, and you can reflash an offical ROM, there is no menu system in Download mode so don't worry.
Don't stay in download mode forever or a long time, i.e. power off and wait till you have the ROM and Odin before you go into download mode as it sometimes times out even though it still shows in download mode.
Go to here http://samsung-updates.com/details/37086/Galaxy_Note_4_Snapdragon/SM-N910F/DBT/N910FXXU1ANK4.html download the ROM, and then download Odin here https://mega.co.nz/#!UdRRyCAT!H4FyVxYynNWvXqRNmnpMGQRCP-dG3uykgP2pT4rh8Ek
These are the instructions from sammobile on how to flash ROm with Odin.Instructions
1-Extract (unzip) the firmware file
2-Download Odin v3.09
3-Extract Odin zip-file
4-Open Odin v3.09 (make sure the extracted rom file "N910FXXU1ANK4_N910FOXA1ANK4_N910FXXU1ANK4_HOME.tar.md5" is in the same folder as Odin before opening up Odin.
5-Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
6-Connect phone and wait until you get a blue/orange sign in Odin (above text top left ID:COM)
7-Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
IMPORTANT** Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes
I always do a hard reset after flashing new ROM's (settings, backup and reset, factory data reset)
I have a network locked UK N910F on EE and use this German ROM with no problems, this ROM has little bloatware.

Thanks gadjet. I do have odin and a stock rom ready for use now:
1-I tested odin and the usb port plus driver setup with my 'old' galaxy s4 and within a second the ID:Com in Odin turns blue. So that seems to be working fine.
2-So now I put in the Note 4 battery and connect to usb WITHOUT ANY KEYS PRESSED...just to test! And the usb connection bleeps from windows confirm a device is connected...so far so good.
3-Last and most important step fails: Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons), the 'no command' robot is still there, and also connect phone and wait until you get a blue/orange sign in Odin (above text top left ID:COM) never happens. And also there are no windows usb connection bleeps so apparently there's a difference when I tried to select download mode.
Please know that I'm really thankful for all the great tips. But I guess I'm still missing something here.
Kind regards,
Rene

This is different
Turn your phone off or make sure it’s turned off.
Press and hold the Volume Up, Home and Power buttons simultaneously.
When the phone vibrates, release the Home and Power buttons, but keep pressing Volume Up button.

OK, corrupt boat-loader Samsung service centre repair job, or local phone repair job.
Requires boot chip to be reflashed at board level.
Sorry we couldn't get you going bud..:crying:

Thanks for trying guys!
I'll see if I can find a local phone repair store.

I used to have the same problem with my SM-P605 when I flashed some ROM in the summer, the only special thing I did was not giving up and after all I got to the Download mode. Hope it'll work for you without Service.
Good Luck

Today I went to visit an official Samsung store. They told me I bought a very good but fake Note 4 and it is not likely it can be recovered. The weight is incorrect...a bit to heavy. Also the serial numbers are unknown in the samsung database and some other details were not correct. Thanks again for trying to help me! I now officially have a really expensive brick that looks like a note 4.:crying:

same issue i am facing..i tried all..but it shows no command error and no menu shows up
ill be going to get my phone checked today..if i get any way out ill let u know

What you did later to recover ? I'm facing the same problem I've visited samsung service centre but they are unable to solve it.

Can you guys help me for my phone Samsung note 4 because its just keep repeating in a logo SAMSUNG...
I tried pressing volume down+home button+power then got "WARNING CUSTOM OS... and stuff and then I press volume high+home button+power then I got the logo SAMSUNG that keeps on repeating. Please help me what to do
