Grand Prime Bricked! Internal Storage erased... Help Needed!!!! - Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I accidently erased the internal storage of my grand prime (SM-G530H) which was rooted and running on Lollipop 5.0.1. I also have TWRP Recovery installed. The phone no more boots up. The recovery menu opens up and I also can't reset the device. I have the official Lollipop tar.md5 file. I tried to flash it through Odin but Odin doesn't recognize my device as connected. Please help me.

Use flash mode. Switch off the phone then hold volume down, power button and home button. Then choose flash custom rom. Connect your phone through odin mode. It will work for sure. Your phone isn't hardbricked yet because it is booting to recovery mode. Next time think twice before messing up with your device.

[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

[Need Urgent Help] I9500 booting into download mode

I am on Samsung galxy s4 I9500
crdroid rom 5.1.1
Today i installed CWM recovery(i was on twrp) using the dd method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2362838
when i switched off my phone and held down the buttons to go to recovery mode(vol up + power +home)
it went into a screen saying
" Downloading...
do not turn off target"
without the "odin mode" and other stats such as device model, device status etc
and now whenever i try to normally boot into my rom it gives the screen saying
" Downloading...
do not turn off target"
i tried removing the battery and then inserting it in again but no luck
but i can go into the odin mode
Please help
I think there is a problem with your "volume down" button. Because it's possible to boot to download mode without the home button. This has happened to me before. I think you may need to open your device, or take it to a repairer.
CWM is outdated. I recommend sticking with TWRP. Sounds like flashing CWM did something to the ROM.
Try re-flashing stock ROM via Odin if possible.
Flash TWRP recovery through Odin on download mode, then flash your ROM zip through TWRP.. Done..

Home-Volume Down-Power = Download Mode
Home-Volume Up - Power = Recovery Mode
You'll need to flash the Bootloader and Recovery. It may start up at this point. If not, then flash the Singapore ROM. You can extract the bootloader and recovery and then make them a .tar .md5 file for Odin. Read about it HERE. I've used it to recover my Canadian SM-N900W8 Note 3. All it would do was vibrate and boot loop. Now I'm 100% back up and running in Lollipop. Only use files for your version of the Note 3.

Singapore has 4 cell providers to choose from.
Or
you can try using Samsung Kies . Tools > Emergency Firmware Recovery. You'll need the serial # under your battery.
Or you just flash this one https://idlekernel.com/twrp/3.0.0-0/twrp-3.0.0-0-hlte.tar.md5 by Odin on the AP slot. If you really have a SM-N9005 like me (No other strange SM-N900* one!) this will work and fix your loop by updating the bricked recovery to the most recent TWRP one. Here is more information I'd recommend to at least read a bit of to at least understand a bit what you are installing by that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467001
ODIN 3.09 for ya: http://androidhost.org/PVAIv (using old crap 1.85 is NOT NEEDED)

Please help!!!

I recently tried to root my device by using Odin to flash CWM onto the phone, and then from there i tried installing Super user in recovery mode, but after restarting my phone, it popped up with "Verification Failed, Unable to restart your device. The integrity verification has failed. You need to reset your device to factory default settings. This will erase all your data." And it has a reset button below. I regretfully didn't backup my device and I don't want to lose all my data. Please help :crying:
P.S. I am using an Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 and it is on latest firmware (7.0. Nougat)
I don't know if it is too late. Just go to sammobile and download firmware for your phone. Download it to your phone using odin. press and wait volume down and power button till you see black screen. After that immediately press and wait vol down+home+power button until you see download windows were you select volume up to select odin flash mode. you should be quick while doing this otherwise you can't get to download mode. when your screen goes black you should release keys and immediately press above combination. After that just flash your rom without messing up with odin. In odin go to AP select browse and select your rom connect your phone while it is in download mode. you should see "Added" in odin window with usb indicator. press start and wait till it finishes. this will upgrade your phone. in your case refresh system and you should supposed to boot to system without loosing any files and apps.
You will not loose any files because it is stored in userdata partition and flashing stock rom doesnt delete it. make sure you don't change options in odin leave them in default.
Please note that this will work only in your case or similar to your case were you didn't flashed custom firmware yet. For others it may not work.
I'm not responsible for any loss and you are doing it in your own risk. I've tried this more than 10 times cause i like messing with my phones. In all off them i was successful even in times i was in custom rom.
Go ahead and good luck.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5, SM-T595, TWRP Bootloop, No Download Mode

Hi Friends,
I tried rooting my new Galaxy Tab A SM-T595 and now it's in perpetual bootloop, I can't even get to download mode to flash stock rom.
Things I did:
1) flashed stock rom using stock odin
2) flashed TWRP 3.3.1.0
3) flashed Magisk using TWRP
after I installed magisk, it went on bootloop.
I've tried every key combination to get to download mode, but it keeps getting back to TWRP page and reboot again, any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Update
I fixed the issue on my own the hard way.
Problem Description: Galaxy Tab in perpetual TWRP reboot loop, no access to recovery or download mode
Solution:
1) Open Galaxy Tab housing, it's pretty simple, no hard work or muscle required, just refer to the video link for tab disassembly. "https://youtu.be/EefQ0a6MHWA"
2) Unplug battery from board to power down your device, refer to the image attached herewith. "https://imgur.com/KHRryWH"
3) Press Volume "UP" and "DOWN" buttons together and connect the USB cable to your PC.
4) On download mode confirmation page release the buttons and press "UP" key to confirm.
5) Flash stock Rom with ODIN.
That's it!
