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

when you get into download mode, you have pressed the wrong button combination, did you use volume up + home and power?

okay so after rooting my n9005 i decided to flash twrp using odin . i then used rom manager to reboot to recovery . my phone is now stuck in a constant boot loop it atempts to boot into recovery then displays the samsung note 3 flash screen and displays the text
recovery booting...
recovery is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit: recovery
this fails then attempts to do it again.
i cant access download mode using home+vol down+power or boot the phone normally. pc doesnt seem to recognise anything
i tried everything without the micro sd inserted with the same results
ive pulled the battery to save what power i have left but im out of ideas
can anyone help?
im reading a lot on xda that rom manager is bad news .i certainly wont ever be using it again

Pull the battery out then put back in the hold power down home that will get you into download mode again then install philz recovery cmw make sure it's jb or kk what ever firmware you have
You need to keep trying to access dl mode. It will eventually work. Theres no way you could have erased that feature. Hold vol down and home. Then push and hold power. Make sure the device is off when you do so. I imagine you flashed the wrong recovery which would be why your device is not booting into recovery. Which version of android are you on and which recovery version you flash

Thanks guys I've been away for a while but pulling the battery then trying to access dl mode worked after a few trys so I re-flashed the 4.4.2 stock UK firmware and it solved my issue. I'm now going to try and find the correct recovery.
Thanks for your help guys I really thought I had got myself stuck there
Hello there. My LG Optimus L7 was lagging to much with it's stock rom so I decided to flash a custom rom to it. So I rooted my phone, installed CWM, and then using Rom Manager app I rebooted to recovery mode, before that I was trying every combination I found on the internet about how to enter the recovery mode, but no success. Anyway, after rebooting into recovery I installed CM 10, but the phone got stocked into CM boot loop. Now I can't access recovery mode to reinstall the rom, or install a new one. I also tried emergency mode (holding the vol up then plugging the usb cable) , which didn't work either. How can I enter the recovery mode? Please help! Is there any way to access the recovery mode without the buttons combination in this state(when phone is soft bricked) ?

I cannot access recovery too! I have TWRP installed but i tried every combination on internet and till can't access it Do somebody know any combinations to get into it?
I remember that once upon a time I was able to enter the recovery. But only once. I pressed randomly all buttons and succeeded. More times have I failed
Maybe it is the newest recovery fault.
I have the same problem. solutions?
V10 - power and volume lower (-) after the lights turn on release power and volume buttons and press only home button
V20 - power, volume lower and home, when you feel a vibration release all the buttons
A client brought in her phone (S4-i337) that was in recovery mode, at first i thought it was something simple but not really. At first i did a wipe data but it couldn't boot up instead after rebooting, it went back to recovery mode. Surprisingly, this phone boots up normally when you try to boot to download mode. As in, when i press Volume down + Home + Power, instead of it going to download mode, it boots up fully then i happen to use it for until when I restart it. I've updated it to Android 5 using some file that i found on some forum, thought it would help but same case. Members, am out of ideas on what i should do. I've flashed it with Z3X box, but i also get an error, same as Odin. Any help is highly appreciated
What are you flashing to the phone? If it was running a stock 4.4.2 ROM or newer, the bootloader would be locked and AT&T never released a complete Odin firmware flash after 4.1.2.
Hy everyone,
I was trying to install recovery on my C7 using:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/alcatel-pop-c7/help/alcatel-one-touch-pop-c7-kitkat-twrp-t3438624
but now im stuck, i cannot access recovery mode using the traditional way by pressing Vol+ and Power, the phone keeps restarting in loop.
If i leave the buttons alone during the loop process the phone boots normally and powers up without any issues, but still i cannot access the recovery mode. If i turn on the phone normally it all goes good too.
I've tried two different recovery versions, the CTR 3.0 and TWRP 2.8.2.0, ive used SP_Flash_Tool to upload the recovery files, no errors showed up.
Is there any way to stop this loop while accessing the recovery mode? thanks!
I've found the solution. None of the recovery files works on this phone, i've installed "ALCATEL-ONE-TOUCH-7041X_140116__recovery_140407-190707.rar" available on XDA, that did the trick. Still i dont know why other recoveries didn't work.
