Did you wipe flash in Recovery Mode ?
You need to do that time you go from Stock to Custom or vice versa.

CWM based recovery v6.0.4.7

Try this:
- Full wipe - factory reset
- Remove battery and wait a minute
- Power on with Vol Down+Home+Power to go directy into download mode with Vol Up
- Flash with Odin, but untick the "Auto Reboot" option
- Remove battery and wait a minute
- Power on with Vol Down+Home+Power to go directy into download mode with Vol Up
- Flash again with Odin, this time let it reboot
This should do it.

ithink it understand my problem
plz quickly solve my problem
Go to download mode (volume down+home+power) and flash any stock rom with repartition checked. your phone should be okey
Remove battery and try again.
Can you get into download mode ??
If so flash a stock rom with pit 512 and repartitioning checked via Odin .
The rom you installed is Alpha that means not ready for Beta full of bugs use only if you know what you are doing .
ROM does not work is what the post says where it says must read .
jje
i do all
i use odin
i remove battery
im not have (software now ,2e recovery and 3button v up+home+power not working to go in recovery mode)
but my sgs when i connect it with pc usb plugin 3sec and restart
If you have any other ROM zip on your SD card then just flash speedmod kernel with odin to get CWM recovery back (see my signature for link)
If you don't have any other rom zip to update with CWM recovery then you will need to flash a stock rom with odin.
i try with odin but useless
if you have program anther odin give me plz
may be try the reset button, which in the middle of the cam and speaker, search in forum for details
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i'll be crazy with this SGSi9000

Which part of using odin you didnt understand? just go to download (vol DOWN+home+power) mode and flash with pit.

You may be better off paying a service centre to fix as you seem incapable of following instructions .

I tried using the 3buttons (volume up+home+power)it is not responding
I can not inter to recovery mode or download moded
always my sgs restart in 5sec when i run sgs
recovery mode does not respond
I think it's somehow deleted of the device
warning, I didn't try #2 before, but may save you if you don't have JIG

I thought it would be a great idea to try flashing from to Froyo from Eclair anyway, and while it was going on, my pc disconnected the phone and bricked it COMPLETELY... I pulled the bat, tried all the 3 button combos (they worked before I flashed, I tested to make sure), and nothing worked...
I spent hours looking through the forums and the only advice I saw was to try a jig, before reading that for a 100% bricked phone it would not work...
What to do
- Take of the back case of your SGS, inbetween the camera and the speaker, you will see a little circular hole...
- Take a pin/pen and poke it...
- Hold the hole pressed in and press the 3 button combo for download/recovery mode
It should go into download mode and from there you can flash on a fresh firmware!
I saw NO mention of this hard reset's existence anywhere on the website at all, it worked perfectly for me!

unless you mess with your bootloader (in this case you didn't) you must be able to go into download mode and flash a fresh odin rom with pit 512 and repartition enabled

panic!! help unbrick

i have been doing alot of rom upgrade via clockwork and this is the first time my phone brick.
i tried the vol up, vol down and power button at the same time and it just brings me to "vibrant samsung" screen.
i also tried removing battery, hold vol up, vol down and insert battery, it goes to a screen where it says downloading. but didnt move for hours.....
and if i switch on normally, it just keep restarting on vibrant screen.
how do i solve this problem?
You have to use odin to flash back to stock....
That's what the download screen is for.
From that downloading mode screen you can odin it back to stock.

thx to KopyKatKiller
INSTRUCTIONS!
1.Your Device must be in DOWNLOAD mode to use ODIN.
2.Get your phone into Download mode by holding vol down and power.
3.THEN connect your phone to the USB. (some folks have had luck doing it in reverse..connecting the USB then Power and vol down)
4.Open Odin and load each file with it's corresponding field..PIT,PDA,CSC etc. (In this case we just use the PDA and PIT)
5.Don't check anything else, the other two boxes should be checked by default (Auto Reboot and Reset Time)
6.Hit "start"! be patient!
NOTE: COM3 worked fine for me. COM should not matter as long as you are using the correct drivers.
Finally we get some U.S love from samsung firmwares.
For those looking the Nandroid method it is in the post below but only recovers ,system, data, cache and datadata. Not your kernel/recovery or BASEBAND/RADIO (Modem.bin)

sorry, what i meant was the link to download odin.
all link by "justanothercrowd" is not working
Get in download mode like you have before then..
Use the Vibrant Toolkit and then click Flash to Stock and then press "Reboot into Download + Start ODIN" (ignore the "Check that USB debugging mode is enabled" because you're already in download mode), it'll open up ODIN and then follow the instructions for using ODIN.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509
From bay_wolf's post, some information about setup of odin,
When you select the PIT and PDA files, it should default to the installed location and if not then browse to where you installed AIO Vibrant Toolbox as the files are in there.

Note: there are instructions on how to use odin on the Flash To Stock screen. All the files you'll need will be downloaded with the download for the vibrant toolkit.
I've had this problem and freaked when i couldn't find a download to Odin, so I used the vibrant toolkit and it worked.
Here's the download link from his thread (credit to bay_wolf): http://www.multiupload.com/G3LUINMUE0

just another quick question, which rom are you guys using? i came from bionix rom to the simply galaxy v3.0, it doesnt seem to b fast and smooth. any other recommended rom?
Try some EDT roms...beast...Malice, Trigger, or Bi Winning.
Flash back to stock too.
I use simply Galaxy with Crysis Sensation theme (TWiz 4.0 + tweaks) & DamianGTO Gold v2.0 kernel (not available on XDA). Then use an app called Blade buddy to set up all Stagefright tweaks (under advanced settings) and debug.sw.hf then menu > apply > save. Quadrant scores 2200+.
Trigger is really good (2.2) and there's a cool new theme called Vibrant HD for it.
Haven't tried CM7 but it looks cool, lots of themes with it.

[Q] Could not do normal boot (Odin Mode) error - Need Help

My Note 3 - LTE (SM-N9005) screen got stuck after trying to flash the ROM through ODIN. I was on 4.3 and tried to update my phone to KK 4.4. Every time the phone turns ON, it shows the same screen and I can't use it.
I am unable to go to Recovery mode by pressing (Vol UP+Home+Power) buttons but able to go to Downloading mode by pressing (Vol Down+Home+Power).
Can someone here please help me resolve this issue?

Just remove the battery and put it back again and fire it up
edit:
you need to reflash with stock firmware again, check if it the correct firmware to your device before download and flash it

Have a problem putting custom recovery on my s6 edge plus g928g

Hey so im not really new here just made a new account because i forgot my old one......so i recently bought an s6 edge plus and decided to root it with arter kernel....i did everything oem unlock usb debugging....then i download the kernel and super su and put it on my phone......then opened odin put the recovery in AP....then put the phone in download mode and clicked start.....so it said pass and then it was still stuck on downloading so i rebooted by holding volume down and power.......then my phone turned on as usual so i switched it off and entered the recovery again and the samsung default android just popped up....ive seen a guy on youtube doing the same thing and he got to the recovery but fore the same old samsung recovery kept popping up....any ideas or help ?
Before you flash a custom recovery on odin you must uncheck autoreboot on odin and then once you flash custom recovery you have to manually turn of phone and turn on using recovery combo

Don't switch it off. Straight after it starts up after using the download combo move you finger from the volume down to the volume up button, then you should be in custom recovery.

Gonna try both of these as soon as i get home from work and ill let u guys know how it went

Flashing it to its original form

I flashed my grand prime last year with lollipop, now I tried to factory reset it on settings and got bricked, now it is back to 5.0.2 and whenever I factory reset, I have to use odin first. how can I fix that? I want to factory reset it without odin just like normal phone.
Have you tried to do a factory reset via recovery? and what do you mean by "now it is back to 5.0.2..."? did you flash a newer version and get back?

I tried recovery but it directs on downloading, I guess they vanished when I flashed it to 5.0.2 last year. I downloaded 4.4.4 stock rom awhile ago but it failed, then I restart but it resets as 5.0.2 help please T_T

What is your phone model? maybe you're flashing the wrong firmware for your device, that's why it's getting error and by the way, turn your phone completely off and press home + vol down + power just to make sure if recovery has vanished (I think it's not possible either)

It's alright, and then? I wrote that wrong?, press volume UP instead of DOWN to get to recovery mode, if you press down it'll go to download mode, unless you want to reflash tour firmware wit Odin
