So I've been messing around with android phones for a while now and I'm stuck. I was on the oxygen 2.1.6 Rom then decided to make a back up. However instead of going into CWR it just went into fast boot. When I go into recovery it just says fast boot mode no reboot or recovery img. I tried to odin back to stock like I usually do but adb wont recognize my device like it usually does. Please don't tell me I'm bricked and that I messed up bad. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I tried reinstalling drivers etc etc. Somebody help me lol

It sounds like you flashed a bad recovery. Download a new recovery , boot into fastboot, and
Code:
fastboot flash recovery yourrecoveryfile.img
adb wont recognize my device so how do I flash a new recovery

Adb only works when the phone is booted normally, provided usb debugging is on.
Use fastboot. If you want to make sure it's working, boot into fastboot mode and
Code:
fastboot devices
If it's working, you will see your serial number.
If the other options can't help you get your problem solved try Odin.
www.samfirmware.com
get the right files for your device and Odin program itself. There are tutorials on here how to use it.
sorry I was being an idiot. I tried fastboot and it showed nothing connected. When I flashed a recovery it just hung waiting for device. I have all the drivers loaded on the computer but my device is still unknown and wont be recognized. I have all the odin files and I have used odin before. This sucks
btw appreciate the help guys

Try installing pdanet, that will install all the drivers you need for fastboot and Odin.

my one click works on both versions, as all it does it just gets you root. if you want cwm then use rom manager afterwards.
but for his problem no it relies on adb and fastboot

Maybe not, but it does include some handy files. ;-)
Download and unzip Shabby's OneClickRoot
Install pdanet. (See the readme for which one.)
Reboot your computer.
Then try using his version of fastboot.
I'm assuming you are in fastboot mode (it will say so) and that you're using the usb cable that came with the phone.
I will give it a go now I do have PDA installed too

Please i need help here
Well you've just learned rule #1 the hard way. Always do a nandroid backup from CMW.
You could restore back to stock using ODIN. All the files you need are in the How To Root thread.

Odin restore will return your device (ROM AND RECOVERY) back to stock. Just boot your tab into download mode then connect to your computer with odin running and you will see a yellow box showing your device is connected. If it doesn't detect it, you need to get the correct drivers.

Try going into download and Odin flash the stock ROM again.
If the stock ROM flashed correctly, after up to a 10 minute wait, it should boot into the stock ROM. Then you will go into download again, Odin flash either the recovery from that link or the newer recovery from the below link. You should be able to place the Rom of choice on the SD and flash through recovery.

I recently rooted my S3 i747 and then installed cyanogenmod 10. Keep in mind I am not a wiz at doing these things, however it did work. Here in lies my problems. 1. I hate this OS with a passion. Its just not what i thought it would be so I would love nothing more than to figure out how to remove it and return to stock firmware or another custom rom. 2. If i stay with this rom (for not being able to figure out how to remove it and install another) I am running out of storage internally. Its a great possibility I could have done something wrong. so with that being said, can anyone help me? I have tried more websites than I care to. thanks so much!

Well what I did was follow along a youtube video... Which in turn may not have been the best idea. I remember doing some sort of back up on clockwork or something like that. I tried to go to recovery mode and restore but that didnt help. Im not sure what all I did to be honest. :/

edit... Pull the battery on your phone and put it back in. Hold up vol, home button and Power till you see the little words in the top left corner. It should say booting recovery really small. at that point take your finger off of the power button only and it will boot into Recovery.
If you have CWM recovery or TWRP you are golden...
Or else... see below
Find your phone in it's section you should be able to find a method using Odin to flash it back to stock and then you can read up and find the way to do everything you want.
Just do your research and look through the forum for your phone type/carrier and you should be able to find all of the information that you are looking for.
Search and you shall succeed!

why do you guys make things so complicated? the guy wants his phone back to stock.
The only thing you have to do is to go to www.sammobile.com/firmwares. Then put your phone number i9100 in the search box and choose any of the roms below. They are all stock, 2.3/4.x.x etc. The rom is in a zip file, however, you have to extract the tar file inside it.
Power off your phone then, while holding vol down, press and hold power.
Open odin in your pc then connect the phone to pc while being in download mode. press the pda button in odin and insert the .tar rom whoch you have just extracted. press start and you are done.

Well returning to stock is just as easy as finding a stock ROM in his phones thread and flashing it, it'll be better in the long run that way as well because maybe he'll learn something.

How do I do that? its the stock rom. I never loaded one a different one.
Oh, I thought you were just using one of the stock ROM's from xda... not the actual one that came with the phone. However, you can try to push a new one to your phone with adb and flash that. Do you still have the recovery zip? Maybe recovery just went bad and you can reflash it...?

Here's one thread. You should Google it for other I instructions but there are tons of them. Also try to find the adb and/or SDK download files.
Sent from my LG-G2 using Tapatalk
OK, still working on this. Dont have but a few hours here and there to get this running again. Been to tons of pages reading, reading and more reading. Downloaded and installed SDK manager. I guess it also installs ADB. I found it within the SKD Platform-tools folder but when I click on it all it does is open, goes thru a ton of commands then closes. I also found it in C:ADB folder. Does the same thing. Doesnt stay open so I can type anything in it? Ive got flashtool installed also. I cant get into download mode on my phone either.
Also trying to go this route LG G2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) in General section but dont know exactly which file to download. Right now downloading the VS98010B_13 file. Probably need the VS98011A_01 but man it takes an hour to download. Which one do I use? Also dont know if I have the D800 or D802? My box says LG-VS980. Dont know if that matters. But again I dont think I can use this method as I cant get into download mode.
I do download the KDZ files and not the TOT files right?
Any other help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
Try the return to stock method with the vs98010b file first. Sounds like ur phone took an OTA hence the recovery bootloop. If u can get back to stock I'd root right away and stop any of the OTAs. U can just flash the 12B ROM and radios after installing a recovery.
Don't flash or use any files for d800 or d802, Verizon model is vs980.

Man, that fixed it and wish I wouldnt have flashed that backup I had now, took me back a month where Ive changed a few things on my phone since but I do have my phone back. Still would like to know which file to download so I have it down the road.
If your in twrp have you tried to aideload a ROM then see if it flashes? Just need adb installed on PC and setup, drivers installed and ROM on hand.....
I was updating my mdl s4 to a new build and flashed a rom for t0ltetmo, a T-Mobile note, by accident. I believe it updated the bootloader but not totally sure.
This is the error I get from TWRP when trying to flash a backup:
twrp E: unable ti mount ' /system'
If I go back to stock using kies can I then root with casual? Or will kies change my bootloader to something undesirable (mk1, nb1, etc.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried flashing the correct firmware in Odin? You may have bricked your device, but it's a good sign you can still get into twrp.

No I definitely flashed a rom for the note 2.
Makes me think it's a sign that the software in our community is becoming more stable. Meaning that one can flash the incorrect ROM and potentially not destroy their device.
