I am using CM12 nightlies on my N900W8, and I haven't had any problems until I tried to flash a new nightly (while running 20150410-NIGHTLY-hltetmo) and instead of booting into recovery I got a black screen. After taking the battery out and back in and trying again, the same thing happened. When I started it back up again the internal memory was completely wiped, I have no idea how or why. It can boot into download mode but I cannot get into recovery and therefore can't flash a new ROM or recovery to fix it. What do I do?
Download mode flash stock rom through Odin .

Didn't work. I tried CWM and TWRP, both resulted in a black screen when booting in recovery mode.

My phone originally was using omega rom and philz recovery. I accidentally pressed the "remove recovery flash" while in philz recovery when I was trying to reboot the phone. My phone couldn't boot to os nor recovery, but download mode still works. So I tried to flash custom recovery again but it does not work. Tried flashing stock rom and kernel but recovery does not work. However, the phone is now able to boot to os but the screen color gone wrong. The whole screen is purple-ish when in os.
How can I get back recovery and also solve the purple problem?
Maybe try using a different recovery, at least to get back to stable? I've used TWRP and OUDHS via Odin, and both work well.

Hi guys, tried to boot into twrp this morning and it wont boot. It simply loops the "teamwin" screen. Ive tried reflashing twrp and it didnt fix it. Also i tried CWM and it just got stuck on Samsung with the blue booting recovery in the top left. Any ideas?
It boots into my stock rooted BTU rom and download mode by the way.

Hi, need a stock MJ5 kernel flashable with odin to save my GT-I9505, stuck at splash screen with no recovery. Been flashing with odin and Kies for the last 4 days without any luck. I ve downloaded one which says MJ5 stock kernel but when i unzip it its MJ3. Thanks
Why not just flash a rom with MJ5 in it?
Or just flash a recovery and do a wipe. Then flash the rom you want.

Thanks, Been flashing last 4 days, stock with odin both rom n recovery n also using kies firmware upgrading, both done successfully but phone just reboot into "recovery booting"n stays there, saw a lot of post here in xda n elsewhere but no one seems to ve found any solution, btw my phone is not rooted. took it out of my pocket last week saw phone was off where i powered it just stays on splash screen will go to download mode but not recovery. Also have a galaxy w same condition. Everybody seems to think that if phone is able to boot to download mode phone is not bricked, i beg to differ. I ve a few HTC phone never have so much problem as Samsung, my Note 2 suffered SDS:crying:. No more Samsung phones. Thanks guys
Flash the kernel still no help.

If I were in this situation I would flash a custom recovery (Philz) and if you can boot into that recovery, I would format System, Data, Cache and SD card.
Now you have a totally clean slate to flash Stock ROM in Odin. The thing is Odin flashing is a no wipe procedure, so if you have something corrupt or causing issues on your phone it'll still be there after Odin flash regardless of firmware.
You can find the .Tar file of Philz recovery in his thread, flash that in PDA of Odin and try to boot to recovery again. Make sure auto reboot is NOT ticked and your phone is totally powered off. Then using Volume up+Power try again to boot to recovery, as soon as you see the blue writing "recovery booting" release power button but keep holding down Volume UP.
So what you are saying:
- You can't boot, it stays at the Samsung logo.
- You can't enter recovery, it just boots again.
- You can enter download mode.
- Flashing is succesfull.
Am I correct? Then my first guess would be that you have a faulty battery. Look if its more swollen than normal.

Thought of it but i don't wanna trigger the flag (Knox) as my phone is still under warranty.
Tested with my Galaxy W (same condition with S4) everything i flash with odin is successful but phone boot up in same condition. That's why i just wanna try with stock for S4.

My phone is only 2 months also tried different battery, I ve 2 original. When i plug into wall charger only shows grey battery icon with static circle, but the funny thing is i suspect the battery is being charged.
When i boot into recovery it just stays at "recovery booting"ve left it for 30mins and when i turn on normally it stays on the splash screen.
Just recently rooted my s4, was working fine or so I thought, went to flash NamelessROM, I don't think the rom is the issue, I had my s2 rooted and flashed on a weekly basis so I know about wiping, data cache, and dalvik, I flashed Rom then Gapps, and it was stuck on boot up, of course I made a nandroid and restored, but now I'm stuck on the yellow sprint screen, did my research and found it it's called a Yellow Brick, or referred to as. Found out a possible fix was downloading the kernel so I've chosen the Rooted NoData kernel to download and flash via odin. Is this what I should do or is there a better fix out there?
Sounds like you wiped everything. Can you boot into recovery?

Yes I can, and I tried to restore back from my nandroid which is how I'm stuck on yellow sprint screen now versus stuck on the boot for NamelessROM.
Do a factory reset in recovery and see if it boots.
That will wipe your accounts and what not but you can't boot anyway.
If it won't boot then you'll need to flash a ROM to get running. Do you still have the ROM you wish to flash on your SD card or internal storage?

Just got me stuck on NamelessROM boot up so I'm restoring off nandroid again. I think that flashing the kernel will fix it.
I'd get the ROM booting then play with the kernel. That's just me though.

I'm trying to push a kernel through odin, I could possible try to find a way to put a kernel on my extsd and try and flash it through twrp? Would I just have to wipe cache and dalvik and flash? because when I try through odin it fails.
EDIT: I found a fix it involves unrooting most likely, but if I do I'll be back at VPUAMDC (Android 4.2.2) so could I still root with SafeRoot? Or what would be the way to root from that version?
Which firmware version did you root from? If it was MJA or MK2 you have to use one of those, you can't downgrade to MDC easily.
Hello everyone, I wanted to flash a ROM to my Galaxy S4 i9505. I first rooted it like described in this tutorial. That went all ok.
After that I downloaded this and tried to flash using Odin Mobile. It rebooted to some sort of recovery, wiped data, cache etc. and then it wrote some error.
After that, I am stuck at the Samsung logo and can't boot into android. I can't also enter recovery, when i hold the buttons, it boots and there is written BOOTING RECOVERY (in the left top corner) but after that it goes to the Samsung logo again.
I can still get into Download mode. If anyone could help with this I would be really grateful.

Hi mate,
Why you flashed a custom rom with Odin mobile???
Go into recovery and do a factory reset try to reboot and see if it works if not....
Go to recovery do a factory reset ...and flash rom from there ( did you installed a custom recovery?)
If no working ..go to recovery do a factory reset ...download a stock rom ( sammobile) download Odin ( not odin mobile) flash stock rom...
Then you can root , install custom recovery and flash custom rom from there...
I did try to install the recovery using odin (this one), but when i rebooted there was the default recovery So after that i decided to flash the rom using odin mobile (and that got me here).
Can i install custom recovery with firmware ending with GNG8? I had 4.4.2 stock before this.

Hi
What odin did you use to flash the custom recovery? it should work, you can also try TWRP recovery
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/182
Do not use odin mobile go with the pc type
You can install a custom rom...but you need a custom recovery

Thanks for the tip, I installed it through Odin 3.09, first I got stuck on booting into recovery, but on the second try I kept holding the volume up only after phone logo appeared and now I am in the TWRP.
Reseting the phone now and I will install the rom after that. Thanks again, hope it will succeed now.
