No Recovery, No Download Mode

Screwed up a flash of build.prop
Originally I could access both Download Mode and Recovery but in the time I waited to download new Firmware to flash, I can't access either of them.
Holding Home+Vol Up+Pwer - Bootloops
Holding Home+Vol Down+Pwer - Bootloops
Letting boot shows the splash, makes bootsound with no graphic, lights the LED buttons and then Freezes
I was using the Stock Firmware from Optus.
Someone please help
EDIT: Fixed it, Anyone else who has a similar issue, I let it boot, and then it turned it's self off, once that happened I could access Download Mode again...Thank god

maybe you can help us here

Did you get stuck in this screen? then you were able to continue after it turned itself off?
also, originally were your 3 buttons combo working out of the box?, mine was not working at all out of the box

No, I only saw that screen once and the 3keys worked on it.
Sorry

meh... then it's not the same
that picture above, is the ultimately bricked screen.
and only the 3 button combo can save it, but if the phone have 3 button sequence disable, you are pretty much dead in the water.

Shut this ANDROID IS killing me with my s60v5 i8910 dont have any problems at all when flashing and i flashed arround 50 times

i9000 Can't get into HBOOT

So my friend rooted and flashed CWM on his Galaxy S i9000, then he wasnt happy so he tried to restore the old backup. It gave him an error, now the phone is stuck in bootloop. The problem is that he cant get back into HBOOT either because Power+Vol UP+Home doesnt work. Any ideas guys?
Thanks for helping

Do a battery pull first
try a different combination of keys ( Vol down+home+power or home+power )
Failing which use easy reboot recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796807

Thanks for your help. All those combos don't work for some reason. I am not sure how Easy Reboot Recovery would work since I believe the phone doesn't get recognized by the USB.

ok, try battery pull and reinsert method for download mode
1) Press and hold (volume down+home key+power button)
2) insert the battery

Did you ever get into to Download Mode or Recovery Mode before you stuck?

Yeah, I accessed the recovery with Vol Up + Power + Home, but only when the phone was booted up fully. He was trying to restore the old ROM in CWM but it gave him error flashing boot image, then he restarted the phone and got the bootloop problem, so theres no way to restart it into HBOOT. I will try your method xsenman, have to wait till sunday so the phone gets here. If anyone has some other tips, I would appreciate it.

May be you bricked your phone. You can try solutions mentioned below:

USB-jig FTW
It's not bricked..if you're seeing anything on the screen, it should be recoverable. And even hard bricked phone can be saved with the UnBrickablemod.

Okay heres the thing. Easy Reboot Recovery does nothing, just opens and closes, I guess since it kinda doesn't recognize the USB from the phone. Then I used SGS Rescue Kit, launched OneClick.jar, connected the phone, clicked unsoft brick and it said Sucessful, the phone started showing the Samsung logo, but then nothing happens. Tried Easy Reboot Recovery again, but nothing. Any ideas?

Can you still access download mod ( Volume Key down + Menu + Power ) ?
If yes you can download a stock ROM that includes PIT PDA PHONE CSC and BOOTLOADER files, this page contains links to all theses files :
http://www.androidgen.fr/tutoriel-s...id-gingerbread-2-3-6-odin-article-2110-2.html
Now once you download these files just start Odin and put:
s1_odin_20100512.pit in PIT
CODE_I9000XWJVZ_CL762604_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 in PDA
MODEM_I9000XXJVT_REV_00_CL1064602.tar.md5 in MODEM
GT-I9000-CSC-HOME-MULTI-OXAJVT.tar.md5 in CSC
APBOOT_I9000XWJVZ_CL762604_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 in BOOTLOADER
Make sure that "Re-Partition" is checked as shown in this Screenshot:

In the future, I would suggest posting questions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192886 instead of making your own thread. Regardless, the shortcut for booting into download mode on a normal S4 is to simultaneously press down the Home, Volume Down and Power buttons. That "Chinese menu" may have been download mode and you didn't realize it. You should try plugging the phone in your PC and running Odin to check to see if it works as a download mode. Best of luck to you.

Well, if you can't figure you're way around this foreign download mode, you can always download GooManager from the Play Store. Within that app, you just press the menu button and then touch "Install OpenRecoverySript" and that'll automatically install TWRP for you.

Galaxy Note 3 LTE Stuck in bootloop

I very recently purchased a used Galaxy Note 3 that has been well used and loved. I bought it because I was told that the phone died whilst updating to Lollipop and because of this, the phone will now not boot. It is stuck in a bootloop with Recovery........ In the top corner.
Now my problem is this, I cannot get into Recovery Mode. It Just turns off again before I can access the screen, vibrates, then comes back on, rinse and repeat. I can get I to Odin mode, download mode, if you like.
I have tried flashing a Lollipop stock OS onto the device but I continually had the same problem, so I downloaded a CWM Recovery and flashed that onto the phone, but now I'm getting an error of SEAndroid is not enforcing... Blah blah.
I am incredibly stuck here and I know literally nothing about rooting. I just want this fixed, and am willing to try anything you throw at me if you're willing to push me to get there. Thanks, and I appreciate any advice!

1. Flash via ODIN TWRP again (this ONE).
2. Tell me if you can access to the custom recovery.

ok, take the battery out for a min. Put it in again and boot in Recovery TWRP. TWRP is a lil ****er (press up button, home key and Power button. Release only the Power button when you see the logo of Samsung, and continue pressing the others till TWRP blue screen appears).

Select pit file in pit tab and select firmware file in Ap tab.

No luck, it just instantly says SEAndroid is not enforcing recovery. I've had this problem before.

[RECOVERY] problem

Hi all,
i am trying to install the twrp recovery on my s4 gt-I9505. I installed odin and downloaded the .tar file (i have tried some of that becouse i'm not sure which one should i use, it seems there is no s4 9505 in the list). Odin i setted with auto rebbot and f. reset time only. After the process ended, i tried to enter recovery from my device, but when i try it appers a yellow ad red write and then the device boot normally but no in the recovery. Hope u guys can help me, im not that good with this kind of stuff. PS: sorry for the bad english hope u guys can uderstand me ^^

Try this to install TWRP on the gt-i9505:
open Odin 3.07 and uncheck everything except f reset time;
flash the phone with the latest tar file from here: https://dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/ in the PDA box of Odin 3.07;
when you see the word "RESET" in the status window, remove USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, use buttons to boot into recovery;
reboot.

You need to keep holding down the home and volume up button after the phone powers up. Sounds like you are not holding the 2 buttons down long enough.
