[SOLVED] Flashed wrong recovery -> Galaxy S5 can't boot into any mode. - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there!
I wanted to root my phone via CF-Auto-Root, but I chose the wrong file (for kltedx instead of kltexx). Now my phone wants to boot into recovery mode (even if I'm trying to boot into download mode). It will now stay in the state saying "Recovery booting...." and nothing will change. When I press Power + Vol-, the same thing will happen because the phone obviously needs to boot into recovery mode. Pressing nothing also forces it to boot to recovery mode.
How can I exit from that state? I really have no idea what to do.
Thank you.
EDIT: I forgot to press the HOME key. I am sorry. That's embarassing, I know. No need to help any more.

How to enter recovery mode?

Hi guys,
I know it sounds like I didn't do any homework, but this hasn't been mentioned before. To enter recovery mode, I tried holding power+vol down buttons until the logo appears then released them and continuously pressed them again (and also hold them in other tries) but it just went on loading into the system. The only way I can enter recovery is by reflashing cwm thru the pc, and then it reboot into recovery by itself. I want to be able to enter recovery without using the PC, please help!
Thanks

[Q] stuck in cyanogenmod simple recovery, windows does not recognise device

Hi all,
I have a GT i9505 with cyanogenmod 11 installed.
I rebooted into recovery mode using the power menu option instead of the volume up + power + home option, which brought me into a cyanogenmod simple recovery mode. Soon I found my phone is stuck in this mode, pressing reboot phone only sends me back to this simple recovery mode.
I plugged my phone into my computer (that has kies installed), but windows 7 would only provide me with a "dee dee" noise and not able to detect my device.
I am quite frustrated now and don't know what to do. Do you guys have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried entering Odin Mode (Power + Volume Down) and reflashing a custom recovery again?
If not, download Odin 3.07 (you will find it on Google), put your phone into Odin Mode (as I told you earlier), and download a recovery in .tar or .tar.md5 format. Put the file into PDA (or AP if you use a newer version of Odin on your PC) and press Start. Check ONLY Auto-Reboot and Reset Time and not Repartition or anything!. Then, it will flash again the custom recovery and you should be able to enter it using Power + Volume Up.
It may be a bootloader problem. Since it won't boot in anything else but recovery. I had a similar problem with an Galaxy S Advance and flashing a bootloader did the trick.
OMG Thanks Villa_Man!!! You guys rock!
one more thing if you guys don't mind.
When I pressed power + home + volume up, it will still take me to cyanogenmod simple recovery instead of cwm which I have installed.
I am currently booting into cwm via the cwm app. Is there a way that I can change my default recovery to cwm so I can boot into it via the hardware button method?
Cheers guys

Phone repeatedly trying to boot into recovery.

I tried flashing ClockworkMod Recovery using ROM Manager to a device and then I used ROM Managers "reboot into recovery" option to launch recovery. Unfortunately it seems the flashing of the new recovery was unsuccessful in some way despite ROM Manager reporting otherwise. Thus the device now tries to boot into recovery, fails and then tries to boot into recovery again.
Is there an easy way to make the device boot normally to android so that the recovery can be fixed?
Flash stock recovery via download mode
I tried this, the problem is I can't get it to boot into download mode since even when holding volume down, power and home it tries to boot into recovery.

Just hold them down regardless until it does. The 3 button combo will override any flags to boot to recovery.

Stuck in Recovery Boot Loop

Hi,
I changed the settings in Developer options to long press "shut down" to access recovery restart, then I restarted it, and now I'm stuck in recovery mode when I start the phone and it won't enter recovery or start and Odin doesn't recognize my phone.
Is there a way to fix?

Help me fix my bricked S5

Hi. I seem to be having alot of problems trying to get my S5 to work again. The phone is stuck in a boot loop and won't go into recovery mode or download mode. When I press volume down + home and power button i can get to the warning message asking to press up to go to download mode. Pressing volume up does nothing
I have bought a download mode jig that forced it to download mode and in successfully flashed a stock ROM using Odin. After flashing the phone reboots and hangs on booting recovery mode. Have tried many different versions of stock ROM and it still doesn't boot up. I even flashed a custom recovery and it won't boot to recovery
I have managed to fix alot of phones over the years that have software problems but this has really got me stumped.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
