[Q] HELP! CWM Recovery Mode Wont Go Away??? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'll try to keep it short, just a few days ago my phone started to boot to CWM Recovery mode every time i turned it on, and I never installed anything or heard about this 'CWM' before it happened. (It says on the recovery mode 'Version 6.0.4.5' if this helps). It is also in Chinese language :/
My phone has been rooted for a few weeks and has worked perfectly until now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
So Is my phone screwed? Or can I fix this?
P.S. I heard flashing/installing (or something like that) new ROM can fix this, so I've downloaded a custom S4 ROM onto my SD card incase I need to use it (It's just the entire ZIP file with everything in it)
(EDIT: The top of my volume buttom is slightly jammed, could this be making it behave like this? ( Its never turned up my music automatically though)
Thanks in advance!

Hi mate,
it looks like something happen to your OS like part of was deleted or formated , the jam button is possible but is a 3 buttons combination, try to factory reset from the CWM if not i think your best shoth would be to try a custom rom or flash a stock rom

The factory reset using CWM doesn' work just reboots to the cwm recovery again :/
I have a zip file with an S4 ROM in it, If i had clear instructions then I'd do it, but the text is also in chinese :/

Ok ill try to flash CWM in Odin, then try the rom after, thanks

So before going to cwm reloader, it used to say ''Recovery booting.... Set Warranty Bit: Recovery''
After flashing the cwm to my device (it done everything successfully), not it says ''Recovery booting.... Recovery is not seandroid enforcing Set Warranty Bit: Recovery''
:/

oh and it just stays like that now, doesnt load cwm :/

SOLVED! So remember I tried flashing it before and it didnt do anything? Looks like I had to boot it in 'kernel mode', i did it accidentally and the new ROM booted up to setup and the phone works
Thank you so much for the help

Bricked Nexus S , got only recovery...

Hi
I got Nexus S that currently is bricked for a couple of month now :-(....
the phone is I9020T (US phone).
I have a recovery image "recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img"
But i cannot access the SDCARD whats so ever ..... to put the ROM, i also tried with ODIN in the past ( now i dont rememer...) and it fail as well it seems that when trying to flash the system it got stuck.
The current status of the phone is:
1.It can be boot into boootloader.
2.it can be boot into fastboot.
3.It can be boot into download mode.
But thats it... , when i try to power it regular it just stop in the blackscreen with Google name on it and the lock at the down and stop there.
What can i do ?
Thanks in advance.
Assuming you can get adb to work you should be able to flash the image to the phone straight from a pc. However that's the most help I can offer as I rarely use adb.
Actually just found this guide: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nexus_S:_Full_Update_Guide
Read it and modify to your needs, NOTE the part "Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery Image" as I think you could follow that but use your stock image instead.

Try to lock and unlock your boot loader via adb. Maybe try flashing original stock rom. The nexus s is hard to brick. I thought I bricked mine but turned out to be a hardware issue that was fixed by Samsung under my warranty.

But this is all I got I cannot flash the phone so I can boot it to any rom ... So maybe it's not a brick but in my case there isn't any diffrence ...
I tried with several ways and still didn't found the problem ..
I cannot mount the USB at all I cannot flash it via ODIN ..
Am I missing somthing ??
Do you have the right drivers installed? Also, is it the right recovery? Like for the i9020t, not the nexus s 4g (I made that mistake, me stupid! )

He means to reboot into bootloader (not recovery), then lock the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock", then re-unlock it with "fastboot oem unlock".
There's sticky threads all over the boards with stock roms, radios, and bootloaders.
Sounds like a bad flash storage. It happens often on these phones. Nothing you can do but to send it to Samsung for warranty. They'll do it free of charge.
Unless you're missing something simple...
I tried Samsung without luck....

This is what i think...
But my phone is already out of order for a few month and i got it from over seas and i tried to contact Samsung (UK). but they didn't want to assist.
And they told me to contact US the country that i bought it.
How can i be sure its an HW issue ?
Thanks for the help.

Personally, I'd try reflashing the recovery as a first step. re-download it from cwm just in case of some weird corruption or something, grab the latest one and double or triple check whether you get the right one for your phone
Flash it, using fastboot, straight from the PC to the phone. Try the recovery again, see if that helps. If you still can't mount anything then, you've definitely got a hardware problem :/
If it does mount, use adb to push over a fresh ROM or a stock ROM and flash it after a full wipe (/system, /data, /cache, /boot and a factory reset)..
Good luck!
Been there try that ...

When my phone did this I was able to mount it after a few battery pulls. So try doing the procedure to mount USB storage and if it fails pull the battery again. I'd say give it about 100 tries. If it doesn't work it most likely will never mount. However if at one point it will, load and flash a rom. The only problem you will face is again after rebooting you'll have to keep trying to the same way to get pass the Google logo.
I know it sounds strange but this was my situation and that's how I got by until they replaced the unit for me.

Brick? Hardware/Software bug?

Hi guys,
Yesterday, i turned off my device to sleep. When i turnet it on, it restart 3 times in sequence, than i take off battery , waited 1min e turned on again. But, it wasnt load OS, it freezed at Samsung logo.
So i decided to try restore the custom room (Google Edition), but i cant entered at cwm recovery, freezed downloading mode screen. Than i tried to flash with odin cwm again. Flash sucessfully but could not load cwm.
Than im started to getting panic, nervous and patience gone. I downloaded from sammobile the stock room and flash with odin. It isnt work again. After flash, the phone boot and freeze for loooooong time at screen with blue text recovering boot and Samsung logo.
I tried from KIES too, but have no sucess...
I dont know what I must have to do anymore. My ideas, knowlodge are now over. Is that any possible about triangle way cause this ? My device doesnt boot anymore. Always freezing screen. I waited for many minutes, like 20minutes and nothing.
Files that i downloaded:
- I9505_VJUBMG3_STOCK_RECOVERY.tar.md5
- I9505VJUBMG3_STOCK_KERNEL.tar.md5
- I9505VJUBMG3-PRE-ROOTED-ODEX-FULL.tar.md5
- I9505VJUAMDM_I9505ZTOAMDM_I9505VJUAMDM_HOME.tar.md5
- and Philz recovery, CWM recovery.
Guys, what really happened?
funny thing
tha same happened to me last week.
I fixed it by downloading another version of Stock Rom for s4 and flashing it with odin.
The stock rom I used had only 1 file (1.7gb) and flashed it using only the pda button.
maybe it will work for you also.
oh and by the way
I used team win recovery project instead of CWM recovery

Yeah, i think my problem isnt the room, because i have 2 here, one default from sammbile and other I9505VJUBMG3-PRE-ROOTED-ODEX-FULL.tar.md5
My problem is after flash the room, it isnt boot. It stop at Samsung logo with blue text recovering boot. How long did you waited for this? Or you just disconnect cable after reboot and flash again to teamwin ?

Flash the new Brazilian rom with odin ( http://www.hotfile.com/dl/234152687/723aa16/I9505VJUBMG3_I9505ZTOBMG3_ZTO.zip.html ).
Wait reboot. Power off, and reboot in recovery mode, wipe data + cache (Vol Up+Home+Power).
The first time, you need wait a lot of time (1~20 minutes).

TWRP isn't CWM, didn't see you mention it yet.
Today i must to give up, because time is against me. I leave the device at samsung assistence. Lets see what they will say for me.
I dont have screenshots, but im sure that i follow all those steps correctly. I tried many ways with odin, ticking unticking things, step by step.
By the way, im so happy with all here tried to help me. The beautifull word that i can say is Thanks, thanks guys!
Weird think: Switching from S4 for X10 is a punishment! My old and warrior X10 have no more battery life, like a mini screen now, slow cpu... but its ok, is better than my x810i.
Thank You guys (all people that help me), for everything.

[Q] Stuck on LG logo

I recently purchased a lg g2, the korean variant f320s, it was running kitkat with a lot of bloatware on top. I successfully rooted the phone and after that i found a cwm recovery installer for this version of the phone and i hooked up the phone and ran the installer on my pc, it finished installing and the phone rebooted into the custom recovery which was in chinese i went into a menu option and then pressed the back button on the screen and the phone instantly rebooted and got stuck at lg boot logo. Is there anyway to fix this? i have tried wiping cache, dalvik and factory reset from the recovery that i can access(chinese or something) but to no avail. I can access the download mode but my pc does'nt recognize the phone and this step is crucial for i guess installing the stock rom through lg flash tools. The phone however is recognized when im in recovery and i plug it in but it only shows as a drive that is faded out and entering it shows nothing. please help me i just got it two days ago

Yeah you just need to flash a different rom through the sd card i tried cloudy rom but it didnt work then a i tried Lamhoang rom and it did the trick im on jellybean now though and i'll try flashing something else in a month or so
ALL FIXED
You are a legend!! Device back up and running.
Okay so I installed that same rom you did but the home/back/menu buttons weren't working so not wanting to muck around, I did some quick searching (which I should have done before >.<) and worked out how to get the Cloudy roms working on a korean device.
You need "Philz cloudy f320 recovery", the kitkat baseband and the rom. LINK
1 - Install the new recovery from zip and then boot back into recovery after this. You will now be greeted with philz recovery which is awesome.
2 - From here, proceed to install the rom as noted on the rom page.
This process worked for me for the Cloudy G3 V1.3 rom.
Thanks a lot for your help!! happy to return the favour! But i am hoping the above info already does that. :victory:

Good to know you got it working again i still cant figure out why this problem occurred in the first place why did the phone brick from the recovery when the recovery was working fiblne after? Also i can just get the new recovery over the one already on the phone without removing the previous one right? Thanks for the info im gonna try out the cloudy roms soon
I have no idea.. something to do with that chinese recovery I am guessing.. There are still a few issues I am going to address but for now my phone is 95% working.
The only issue is that if I try go into download mode, it still doesn't go to the second screen (All i get is the small blue dots). Bit of a pain because that's something nice to fall back on if you ever need to.
I'll search around and try and figure these out in the next week or two, but I am happy with what I have for the moment.
Yep, you literally install the new recovery over your current one and then you can restart phone back into your rom and then reboot back into recovery using an app or the button method.

[Q] i9505 No OS

Hi guys
I had my rooted S4 (TWRP)
Every now and then it would reboot like there was no battery power left (battery history graph always showed 0% just in that very moment when my phone would reboot)
So I thought I'd re-root it and what I did first was saving all my files to my computer.
Then I went to Teamwin Recovery menu and deleted all the caches and all files and everything A FEW TIMES. (don't ask why, I don't even know)
After that I tried to flash it again with the root-OS and it did everything wonderfully fast and everything (using Odin)
Then I tried to boot but it didn't work.
I flashed the recovery tar (I think it was a tar file)
and thus the process of rooting was done as far as the tutorial went that I used
I turned my phone on and that's where I am now:
No OS (seemingly, also it was written in I think the stock recovery menu [because I tried to flash the stock files])
Phone keeps showing me the "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9505"-screen and does nothing else.
Have I bricked this thing or is there a way to get it working again?
Thank you all in advance.

Used an older version through odin
This ended up being sorted for me, as it just booted after about a half hour. But how, if you hit this red screen can you reflash? You aren't getting to dowload mode or recovery with that perma-red screen
lol, I spoke too soon again, was reflashing twrp after going back to a stock rom, this happened again for me only its not budging from red screen now. I can't get into download mode as I mentioned above too
hey guys I have the same
the phone dont even switch off
how did you fix it?
edit SOLUTION : I managed to reboot the phone with adb
add reboot
then I flashed the version 3.0.0.0 of TWRP and it worked !
Help!

I rooted my phone, had twrp recovery successfully. then i tried to install xposed and it was probably the wrong version. tried to use odin to get the stock rom, but the screen is only red, and i can hear the volume sounds... any help?

I am having the same problem. Odin is stuck in "Setup Connection"
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks
You have probably flashed a wrong kernel.
The solution is to flash the right kernel for your device.
I was flashing S7 root on S7Edge

Hi Guys,
I flashed everything stock after having some issues with encrypton and a custom ROM.
After flashing twrp-3.1.1-0-herolte.img with Odin 3.17 I only get a red screen when booting into recovery and the phone won't even boot the OS.
Any idea how to get TWRP working so I can get back to a custom ROM?
Thanks,
Nicolas
Edit: Hero2lte worked
flashed ****ty rom /** THE GALAXY PROJECT **/ with twrp + themes and hard bricked my phone
my usb doesnt work, just for charging, i was told something gone on my mobo of s7 edge.
i can boot into download mode but nothing to do without pc...

Lol. I have the very same problem: Flashed The Galaxy Project ROM and hit "update bootloader etc...." and now all I have is this red screen..... - Though the ROM worked for a couple of hours, but when I tried to enter the recovery I stock with this red screen. Cant even go into download mode...
Any help? How did you solved this issue?
I didn't, ****ty Rom just bricked it.
Just reflash the recovery or flash stock. I can't, my pc doesn't recognize my s7 anymore.
He doesn't even bother to mention that bug...
