Stuck in Android System Recovery (3e). Newbie needs help!

Hello. I recently switched from the iPhone to android and I rooted using the motochopper.zip. After I was done, I pressed the power button and then pressed it again to see the facial recognition lock. Then, it just froze. I pressed and held the power button and it has been stuck on the android recovery loop. I tried putting it into "download mode" as people have recommended and download this "custom OS", but it's stuck downloading. I've tried searching it up, but people are saying to "flash the ROM" or using "Odin". Since I am a new android user, I have no idea what they're talking about.
I know that there's some threads about this, but they're not on my device and they're outdated.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Galaxy S4 AT&T

Same thing here
I'm having the exact same problem. I can't even get into download mode to try and restore. I'm not new to android and have had several Galaxy phones in the past. I think the internal SD is either corrupt or the OS has simply been wiped from it somehow. The phone boots and shows the Samsung logo with the "Custom" unlock icon then reboots and boots into stock recovery. Once in stock recovery, if I try to wipe cache it says "Wipe error" and goes back to the main menu. My phone is rooted with Motochopper since the release of the exploit. With the bootloader still locked, I haven't even attempted any other mods or flashes. My phone was fine all day yesterday but my battery completely died last night while I was out. I plugged it in and let it charge all night, the phone is fully charged. Removed SIM, external SD, still nothing. I'm going to continue to try and get to download mode but I've just about tried everything I can. Anything this awesome community can help with would be great, luckily I still have my Nexus so it'll do until I can call AT&T on Monday. Its a corporate account so a retail store won't touch it.

As to how this happened I would suspect you guys were playing with Xposed framework and Cydia. That's how a lot of people are getting stuck in this recovery menu.

Android System Recovery
Hi,
I accidentally dropped my Galaxy S I and whenever I turn it on, there is a message that says:
Android system recovery <3e>
Enter: OK Key, Select : Vol UP/ Vol down
Reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/ factory reset
wipe cache partition
"Reboot system now" is highlighted and I can't select other options for some reason. I took out the battery and the sd card, pressed every single button but it doesn't seem to work. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do!
Your help is really appreciated. Thank you

You are wrong this thread isn't resolved. I have the same problem with my Tmobile S4 (M919). When the phone boots without me pressing any buttons, it goes to
Android system recovery <3e>
KOT49h.m919UVUFNB4
and when I HOLD VOLUME DOWN + HOME + POWER it boots as it should. I can't go into download mode. I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with KNOX.
Please help if you have a way to get into DOWNLOAD MODE. I have tried button combination and adb (reboot download) methods.

Hi,
I've just got a Note 3 but it's status is Custom. I don't think it's rooted, I certainly haven't done it.
Basically I want the Kit Kat update but it tells me I can't update OTA as it's modified and through Kies it says it's up to date which isn't true. I'm on 4.3.
I tried rebooting into recovery but it errors when I try and doesn't tell me any information about KNOX lock etc.
Anyway If I can do the update with Odin I'd be happy but could you help me:
Firstly what version of Odin should I use. I can see a 3.07. It seems old but is that OK ?
Secondly I can't work out what firmware I need to download for it. I have done *#1234# and this is what it tells me the following:
AP: N9005XXUBMJ3
CP: N9005XXUBMJ1
CSC:N9005DBTBMJ3
Any ideas what it is and which I'd need to download for it ? When I got it the phone was set to German by default but I'm not sure if that means it is German or not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Daniel

You might want to try asking in the Note3 forum. You will get better answers.

Your device was running a firmware newer than amdl. You will need to flash the mf3 or mk2 tar file in Odin. They are linked in the general section.

[Q] Soft Bricked My SGH-I337

I was running CyanogenMod 10.1 Loki'd and the clock widget locked up. I rebooted figuring that would fix it, but it it didn't. I decided to put the Slim Rom on it and went into TWRP. It locked up & I rebooted it and now I'm at the dreaded "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue." Kies says device not responding and won't connect. I then tried to reinstall the stock using Odin 3.07 and it errors out after it tries to write. The error says Complete (Write) Operation failed. All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1
Can someone please help? I've read & searched till I'm blue in the face.

It seems like my TWRP recovery is gone. It will only either go into Download mode or the triangle recovery failed mode. I haven't found anything I can do at this point.

Wipe data/Factory Reset in recovery mode (not in TWRP).
Then try ODIN again.

It won't go into recovery. This triangle recovery error screen seems to have taken over recovery. I've tried mucho times to get into recovery by holding power, volume up & home at the same time.

Maybe you can try Adam's Casual tool (in Development section) to see if it will work. It is supposed to "one click" CWM or TWRP onto your phone. If it works, you will have recovery to flash another ROM to get you back going. It might be worth a try anyway.

This is beyond my knowledge.
Since you did everything already (via KIES, ODIN and Recovery).
Sorry and hopefully someone can guide you to right direction.

Thank Scott. I'll give it a whirl.

That was a no go. It didn't see my phone just like Kies. I wonder why Odin has the error I put in my OP.

It sounds like you have a driver issue. Has your PC recognized your phone before this?
Also, see if you can get your hands on an earlier version of ODIN (1.87 Maybe or another) and give it a try. At this point I don't think you have much to lose.

Oh yes. It's never not connected. It's doing the same here on my laptop. The phone's drives don't even show in Explorer since this has happened.
The phone won't stay turned off in this state unless I take the battery out.

I'm calling it a night. Maybe the day crew can help me out on up this morning. I sure hope so.

Did you try to push the "volume up" key after the phone displayed the triangle? Once the phone shows the triangle and you have let go of all of the buttons, try to push the volume up button again and see if anything happens.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried the volume up & it did nothing after the triangle screen came and I released all three buttons. So I then tried the volume down button and still had no result.

Fixed - Got Damn Lucky
I reckon the stock rom I had and was trying to install with Odin was evidently corrupt. I re-downloaded it and Odin installed it flawlessly.
Thank God!!!! I thought I'd ruined it for awhile.

Nice.

ODIN will error everytime if you have the worthless keis installed, remove keis, load the newest samsung att g4 drivers , and it will NOT error again. I setup a workstation at the house JUST FOR THE PHONES a year ago, smooth ever since. lets see, $200 for a computer, $600 for a paper weight, best move I ever made. Nothing loaded on that puter but win 7 and samsung drivers, and any prog I need to do whatever, NEVER has odin errored on me...ever.

[Info]FIXING A BRICKED PHONE

People asked me Hey TechnoCrat,
Rooting my Android phone went well, but I've tried to flash a custom ROM and now I think I've bricked my phone. Is there anything I can do?
…
First of all, lets get something straight. Most people use the term "bricked" improperly. A bricked phone means one thing: your phone won't turn on in any way, shape or form, and there's nothing you can do to fix it. It is, for all intents and purposes, as useful as a brick. A phone stuck in a boot loop is not bricked, nor is a phone that boots straight into recovery mode. These are things you can usually fix, and they're a lot more common than a truly bricked phone. If your phone is actually bricked, you won't be able to fix it yourself (but there are things you can do—see the end of this article). For those other problems, you have a few options.
If Your Phone Keeps Rebooting: Wipe Your Data and Cache
How Do I Fix My Bricked Android Phone?
If you've flashed a ROM and your phone won't boot into the home screen, it's probably because you forgot to wipe your data and/or cache. It's trying to boot into the ROM, but some leftover data from your last ROM is causing it to error out, and it'll reboot itself over and over again. If your phone's eating a big bowl of boot loops, your first course of action should be to wipe its data and cache, which you can do from recovery mode. This method assumes you're using ClockworkMod Recovery, like the majority of Android users, but if your particular phone uses a different third-party recovery (like AmonRA), you should still be able to find these options in the interface. They might just be in a different place. To wipe your data and cache:
Power down your phone. Turn it back on and boot into Recovery mode. This is a bit different for every phone, so you'll have to Google how to do it for your specific model. Usually it involves holding down another button, like Volume Down, as you turn your phone on. HTC phones will have to then select "Recovery" from a menu, while other phones will boot directly into ClockworkMod. You'll know you're in ClockworkMod by the words "ClockworkMod Recovery" at the top of the screen.
Use your volume keys to navigate the menus, and your power button to select menu items. Scroll down to Advanced, and choose "Wipe Dalvik Cache". When that's finished, go back to the main screen and choose "Wipe Cache Partition". Lastly, head to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset". This will delete all your settings and apps, but you should still be using the correct ROM.
Reboot your phone.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
With any luck, it should boot right into your ROM. If that didn't work, try the below method with the same ROM (or with a different ROM) and see if you get different results.
If Your Phone Boots Straight Into Recovery: Flash a New ROM
How Do I Fix My Bricked Android Phone?
If, when you boot up your phone, it goes straight into ClockworkMod, then there's likely an issue with the ROM you flashed. Note that some ROMs boot into recovery mode automatically after flashing, so reboot your phone once from recovery mode to make sure you're having a problem. HTC users: if you boot up your phone, it might go straight into the bootloader—check to see whether you can choose "Recovery" from the list before continuing to the next step. HTC phones usually don't boot straight into recovery.
In this case, you'll want to reflash the ROM from scratch. Try again with the ROM that messed up your phone, if you so choose, but if that doesn't work, try an entirely different ROM. The best way to do this is to download a ROM from somewhere on the net and putting it on your SD card. You'll need to take the SD card out of your phone, and you'll need an SD card reader that you can plug into your computer. Here's how it works:
Plug the SD card into your computer. Drag the ROM's ZIP file to your SD card, and wait for it to copy.
When it's done copying, eject the SD card and put it back in your phone. Reboot into Recovery mode. This is a bit different for every phone, so you'll have to Google how to do it for your specific model. Usually it involves holding down another button, like Volume Down, as you turn your phone on. HTC phones will have to then select "Recovery" from a menu, while other phones will boot directly into ClockworkMod. You'll know you're in ClockworkMod by the words "ClockworkMod Recovery" at the top of the screen.
Use your volume keys to navigate the menus, and your power button to select menu items. Scroll down to "Install ZIP From SD Card" and navigate to the ZIP file you just copied over. Give it time to flash the ROM.
When it's done, reboot your phone.
Hopefully, your phone should successfully boot into the new ROM. From there, you can probably assume that the previous ROM that messed up your phone isn't going to work, and you'll have to find another ROM for now—or find another copy of that ROM that isn't corrupted. Remember to make backups of your working ROMs so you don't lose all your data!

If Your Phone Boots Straight Into its Bootloader: Restore From a Stock ROM
If you're really having trouble, one of the most surefire ways to get your phone working again is to restore from the original ROM your phone came with—unrooted, stock, stable goodness. Each manufacturer and phone has a different method for doing this, and we can't go into too much detail here, but we can steer you in the right direction.Like Samsung has odin.
Note that this will unroot your phone, and return it to exactly how it was when you bought it from the store. You'll lose all your apps, settings, ClockworkMod recovery, you'll get over-the-air updates again, and you'll even have to re-activate your phone if you're on a CDMA provider like Verizon or Sprint.
For Samsung Phones: If you're using a Samsung Galaxy phone, you can use a tool called Odin to reflash an OPS file, which is a stock ROM that will return your phone to factory settings. You'll need a Windows machine and a copy of Odin, which you can find by Googling around the net (as its not an official tool). Check out the video to the left to see an example of Odin, and check out The Unlockr's guide to using Odin to familiarize yourself. You may need to Google around for your specific device's OPS file and instructions.

If You Get Errors with Any of The Above Methods: Reformat Your SD Card and Don't Give Up
This is less likely, but it's a problem I and a few others have run into on occasion: sometimes your SD card just gets corrupted, which makes the above methods useless (since they rely on your SD card to work). Take your SD card out of your phone, put it into your computer using an SD card reader, and format it. It's very important that you format it through an SD card reader directly and not by plugging in your phone in USB mode—I learned this the hard way. Format it as FAT32 and try the above methods again.
Other errors, like during the ROM flashing process, might give you a hint as to what's wrong. Try heading to the XDA Developers forums and asking for help, as your phone could have one of a million specific problems we can't address here today. Remember, if your phone turns on, there's still a good chance you can recover from whatever error you're experiencing, so don't give up just yet!

If Your Phone Is Truly Bricked: Take It Into the Store and Play Dumb
If your phone is actually bricked—that is, it won't turn on at all, no matter how hard you try—it's time to give up and move on. The first thing you can do in this situation is try to take it back to your carrier's store and play dumb—just say something like "I don't know what happened, but my phone won't turn on anymore" (don't tell them you rooted it, obviously). Most carriers don't have time to deal with such issues and they'll just give you a new phone. Sure, it's a tad evil, but it should work most of the time.
If they're wise to your act, though, you can try another store or just sell your bricked phone for a few bucks on Craigslist. Sadly, if no one will replace your phone, you'll have to buy an entirely new one. Such are the dangers of rooting, but don't be discouraged! Bricking your phone is pretty rare, so I wouldn't worry about it being a common occurrence. As always, though, when you void your warranty, only do so if you're ready to replace that device completely, since you never know what can happen.

It's not rom related. It's a phisical problem, problably it's a broke power button, or faulty battery.

Hello, I have a MediaTek device (Android 9, Lenovo Tab M8 FHD) I had it updated to Android 10 and in the process of trying to downgrade it to 9, I bricked it..badly....The indicator still responds to power buttons and plugging it in, but I cannot access recovery or fastboot. Is this tablet a goner or is there any fix?

I was stuck in a bootloop after flashing AOSP rom. So I decided to power off and use SPFlashTool to flash the stock rom. But both SP and Techno flash tools give the following error:
ERROR : STATUS_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL (-1073348607) , MSP ERROE CODE : 0x00.
The phone doesn't respond to any button presses however whenever I connected it with my PC, the charging indicator glows and even windows can detect it, and the device is listed in ports.
Can anyone please help.
Device is Infinix Hot 8.
TIA.

i have a cricket Dream 5G phone nd it went brick it literaly says ´´your device is corrupted and is not trusted and may not work properly please visit link 9.co/ABH on another device

My phone is stuck in bootloop after I flashed an unofficial twrp img on my phone. I`ve tried a couple of things; factory data resetting adb fastboot through command [fastboot -w] I also relocked my bootloader and when I tried re-booting it showed a message; your device has failed verification and may not work properly. Whilst also asking me to install the correct boot img file for the phone, of course I`d already done that. after a sometime while I was trying multiple things a command failed due to low battery. Is there any way to fix this? My device of course is very unpopular; Ulefone note 7p, Kindly help.

[Q] Galaxy S2 i9100 won't root

Hi,
I am trying to flash my S2 using Odin, and no matter what I try I always get the same result.
It doesn't work.
The phone will go in to the mod where I press the volume down button, home and power, but if I try to press up, home and power notkinh happens.
It all started a few days a go when it started getting stuck in a loop, just showing samsung mobile logo and it won't go further than that.
When I start Odin, it recognises the device, starts normally, and then it says Complete(Write) operation failed.
I've attached a screenshot, please help if you can.
thank you in advance

and if I try adding a pit file this is what happens (see attachement), but then it lasts for ages, I am not even sure anything is happening.

[q] bricked i9505 stopped at download function, but not downloading

I have an old I9505 bricked in a way I haven’t found any solution anywhere for a similar case, searching over two hours a day for a few days.
It starts by itself, and to keep it off I have to remove the battery. It got stuck on the download mode as if obtained with the key combination volume down + home + power. When I turn it off it will restart a few seconds later by itself, shows up with the Galaxy S4 screen, and goes immediately to the same download mode. No automatic restarting loop, it just turns itself on and stays there every time I put the battery back.
On the left top corner, it shows the usual text plus this:
It could not do normal boot
ODIN NOTE
[Other usual lines]
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: enable
eMMC BURST MODE enabled
The problem is that it does not accept any download from Odin. It stops at sbl1.mbn. I also tried to follow a tutorial from Droid-View (add this to the home URL: /how-to-unbrick-your-bricked-samsung-galaxy-s4-gt-i9500-gt-i9505/) with repartition using the Pit file. Same problem; stops at the beginning of the downloading with a round blue point on the progress bar on the phone. It won’t accept any key combination that I know of.
The strangest part for me is that this issue started after a factory reset under settings –› accounts. It had a stock Rom I9505XXUFNA5. I reset it because it already did not download a Rom file from Odin (I9505XXUHOB7 or I9505XXUHPK2). When it automatically rebooted from the factory reset, it stood stuck on download mode right away. It had a TWRP with problems, and maybe that was the cause.
I need to reset, wipe everything and flash one of those two Roms above. What can I do, please? Thank you for your help.

Hello
If you are stuck in the download mode even after battery removal then everything is wiped even the partitions. There is only one way to recover the device and that is to install the exact Stock firmware it came with via Odin. If Odin won't flash you can try using an earlier version 3.07 or 3.06 for example but make sure the Stock firmware is correct, use www.sammobile.com to find it.

Thank you cooltt, but I have already tried that as described on my two paragraphs before last. What else can I try, please? I used the the older 3.09 Odin version.
Here is the Odin log with the Pit file:

I wanted to give the link above correctly, and the way I put it was the only way the name of the site and the link where not replaced with asterisks, I don't know why. I have posted only six replies, but I have been registered for over 2½ years.

Use a different usb cable or usb port.

I have done that, but trying is never too much, so I repeat the procedure without the Pit file with I9505XXUHPK2. For my surprise Odin did not stop at sbl1.mbn, went on and got to the end. There, it did not happen as on the tutorial I followe from androidmtk.com /flash-samsung-stock-rom-using-odin (this link is broken with a space to be posted here). Instead, it rebooted by itself and went to Androir is upgrading... function. then, it stopped. Now, should I do the remaining steps 12 and after, on the tutorial.
In fact, this is not what I tried to do at the beginning, I wanted to install I9505XXUHOB7, but it is OK with I9505XXUHPK2. What is annoying is that the phone was not wiped at all because even apps I added, not available at Google Play, like AdAway from F-Droid.org, are still there, and worst, the initial issue with TWRP remains. A root checker tells me "Root is not properly installed" and now even root apps have not access.
For not making mistakes, how can I wipe everything and have a completely fresh (old) phone?

Download the latest stock ROM for the phone, open Odin, don't check anything except for f reset time, flash. When you see the word reset in the status window, remove the usb cable from the phone, remove battery, replace battery, boot into recovery, factory reset, reboot.

Not possible to do it now because free downloads are very long. The fastest one where I can find the file is on Sammobile. It would take about 1h30, but there is a notice there at this moment, as you can check, that free downloads will be available on Monday only, and it is too late here to start. I´ll be back, thanks for now.

Try updato.com or https://samsung-firmware.org/model/GT-I9505/

It is down for free downloads until Monday, as I said. I downloaded from Samsung-Firmware.org, but it was extremely long, over 13 hours!
Then, I did as you said. Got rid of all old stuff, good, but then, some issues arose after a couple more reboots. First it did not save Wi-Fi the passwords, and now, in much less than one minute after starting it turns off silently by itself. I don't know what it is and all I can do is to repeat the process of flashing and wiping. I will do it later and come back with the result. I also wiped the cache while in recovery mode. Would that cause these issues? Thank you.

Wiping cache will sometimes help rather than hurt a situation.

It was not that, then.
I repeated the installation with Odin.While on initial setup (like you setup your phone for the first time) it turned off at about three quarters. It also turned off once a little after a reboot. Wi-Fi steel not save the passwords. Have you any idea about what this could be, please?

Sounds like the phone may have a problem with the battery? Try running set up while connected to charger?
Not sure why it won't save WiFi passwords.

I'll search the net for the Wi-Fi issue and if I can't find what I need I will repeat with Odin because none of them happened before.

I flashed it once more. Now it does not turn off by itself, but the after 19 updates from Google Play it stopped to save the Wi-Fi passwords. I don't know if it were the updates or coincidence, just the time.
Very strange for me I found a thread here, not for the same issue, but locating the file with. However, I can't investigate any further without root access, and I'm not rooting before being sure the issues are gone. I have lost a big lot of hours with this, doing, undoing and redoing, so I am keeping it for a little while resting and trying to know about the Wi-Fi issue. Is that "Bug report" function of any use?

Hi,
I'm not sure if the big report will help as I have never come across any bugs with my s4 that were related to software. I had some hardware issues but they were solved by replacing parts.

I have found that some logs can help and some way, but there are other (maybe better ways) to repair (Android.stackexchange, Digitalreborn and maybe others), but I have not yet rooted the phone as necessary to do it, and I am not going to do it right now before being sure it does not have other big issues because I am fed up of repeating the same Odin flashes and then spend each time very long configuring to delete it the day after, again and again. I fail to understand why the Wi-Fi issue remains if it is from the software, not hardware.
When I have news I'll come back to share the results. It may take some time. My initial issue was not with the Wi-Fi, but the phone stuck on download, which was solved with your help, but turned to this.

@Stray doggy, to answer your question, the "Thanks" button is located in the lower right-hand corner of a post.
