Hi!
I have an unlocked bootloader & root with CWM.
The 4.4 OTA update became available with my phone so i installed it and now it is stuck on a boot loop. I understand that this can sometimes happen, and i'm cool with returning to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
However, i am having trouble switching off my phone because my power button and volume buttons have become unresponsive. Is there any way for me to boot into recovery using terminal? I'm on a mac.
Right now i cannot do anything because it's just stuck on that infuriating screen. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Last night after a good night of working with my tablet out on the job I came home and noticed it was running a little sluggish so I rebooted it. It then proceeded to hang on the bootloader screen. I tried flashing into recovery and wiping and reinstalling but it still stays hung up on the bootloader screen. Getting into the recovery boot loader it says the secondary kerlel akb has an issue or something. Is there a way to Odin this thing back to stock? It's not totally bricked I can still get into recovery just can't get it to boot into the second kernel or whatever it means. I can get the exact terminology if someone needs it but I have been bricked worse than this before its just weird it won't fix itself after I re install a new ROM.

I am on the Skillraz V8 boot loader to be exact, and thats the first screen it gets stuck on..
I just tried flashing a stock un rooted ics zip but it still hangs on the first screen after rebooting after the install, which seemed to take ok... and it doesnt change my recovery or anything back to stock.
Hey
Recently I tried to install the 4.4.2 KitKat official update, but didn't realize it would cause problems with my currently installed custom rom. I'm kind of a noob with these things. So now my phone is a mess. yay.
What is now happening, is that:
Phone goes into endless boot loop, showing LG icon. Top left LED blinking green and blue in a wave-ish pattern. Have to keep power button down for 20 seconds to turn off phone completely (with usb unplugged).
Recovery mode brings me to TWRP. From here I can do the "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota" but no success. It will continue its boot loop upon restart.
Download mode brings the phone to firmware update, where it never goes beyond 0% updated.
I wiped all data from phone, but no success with recovery.
So guys, any ideas on what to do about this?
Any help will be appreciated

Encoutered the same situation, read this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2744237
My acer a500 currently will not boot past the logo. Restarting and holding down the volume button will let me get to Skrilax's boot loader, but when I try to boot into recovery I'm greeted by an incapacitated android and a floating red exclamation point. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to further diagnose the problem to find a solution or simply reset it to a factory default (at least, not without access to recovery).
Had worked fine with no issues.

If its happening after you try the "update.zip" method, I'm in the exact same situation. Im trying anything I can find at this point because I have been at this for weeks...
I Just recently tried to roll back to the NCG kernel from lollipop on my verion s5 and now I am stuck in the recovery boot screen. Plugging it in to the laptop makes the phone go to the recovery boot screen. Also, i tried a factory data reset as well as a cache partition wipe but i have had no luck of getting past the recovery screen. Upon shutting the phone off and booting up, it just stalls at the samsung logo screen and then goes to the recovery boot screen. I have tried taking out the battery and sim card and booting after that to no success as well. If anyone has any info on how to get past the recovery boot screen and get my phone back to working i would be extremelly thankful.

You might have to use a usb jig. You power off you phone, plug in the jig and it boots you to download mode.

can you hold the buttons necessary to get into download mode? It's "looping" but if you can get into Dl mode, you can reflash the ROM
HELP!!! My Galaxy S5 G900V doesn't enter NORMAL Recovery Mode!!! & Stuck in BootLoop!
I think its kinda soft brick!
:crying: Like the heading says! I am stuck in continuous Reboot LOOP!!!
And something strange about this problem!
Let me brief it out!
Firstly tried to install the latest Lollipop firmware USING ODIN v3.09 which is OG5 AND I SUCCEEDED with a PASS!
And then when I tried to restart , it got stuck in "Recovery Booting...." blue text on top left corner of the screen followed by CONTINUOUS BOOT-LOOP OF SAMSUNG SPLASH SCREEN! Not EVEN REACHING VERIZON Boot Animation which is followed by every 2 VIBRATIONS & interval of 5-10 seconds of each loop!!!
And one more thing is I cannot enter the NORMAL RECOVERY OPTION MENU! Instead I ONLY
GET "Maintenance Mode Recovery Menu" Which has 3 options
1 Normal Boot
2 Factory Reset
3 Safe mode Boot
But Sadly and STRANGELY I CANNOT GET THEM TO WORK EITHER!!! As soon as I PRESS HOME BUTTON AFTER SELECTING THE OPTION FROM ABOVE IT DOESN'T EXECUTE IT INSTEAD GETS OUT OF THE "Maintenance Mode Recovery Menu" & Continues WITH BOOT LOOP sometimes followed with Recovery booting text ! Which I believe happens when I Press Power and any of the Volume Buttons!
So I ALSO TRIED FLASHING THE OE1 Lollipop Verizon Update via ODIN WHICH ALSO PASSES WITHOUT FAIL! BUT AGAIN SAME RESULT WITH BOOTLOOP!
AND ANOTHER STRANGE THING IS THAT WHENEVER I PLUG IN THE BATTERY THE GREEN LED NOTIFICATION LIGHTS UP SOLID PERSISTENTLY WITHOUT BLINKING! UNTIL THE BATTERY IS REMOVED OUT OF THE PHONE!
SO I reallly dont know what the problem or fix to this issue! But I request you people to help me out as soon as possible!
FYI
I can BOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE! I can BOOT INTO Maintenance Mode Recovery Menu!
I searched every forum regarding this issue but to no avail!
THANK YOU!
