I flashed my grand prime last year with lollipop, now I tried to factory reset it on settings and got bricked, now it is back to 5.0.2 and whenever I factory reset, I have to use odin first. how can I fix that? I want to factory reset it without odin just like normal phone.
Have you tried to do a factory reset via recovery? and what do you mean by "now it is back to 5.0.2..."? did you flash a newer version and get back?

I tried recovery but it directs on downloading, I guess they vanished when I flashed it to 5.0.2 last year. I downloaded 4.4.4 stock rom awhile ago but it failed, then I restart but it resets as 5.0.2 help please T_T

What is your phone model? maybe you're flashing the wrong firmware for your device, that's why it's getting error and by the way, turn your phone completely off and press home + vol down + power just to make sure if recovery has vanished (I think it's not possible either)

It's alright, and then? I wrote that wrong?, press volume UP instead of DOWN to get to recovery mode, if you press down it'll go to download mode, unless you want to reflash tour firmware wit Odin

Hello.
I have a problem with a Stock G3.
How do i get it in to recovery? Tried power + volum up/down + home etc etc..
The problem is that the phone has a locked security pattern and the customer does not remember his e-mail/password so i need to rest it.
Plz help
try it like this : Vol down/up + home + power
dont work
Stock ROMs does NOT include CWM...
You should flash a rom with CWM or g3mod kernel.
Maybe you mean download mode?
sorry - not recovery but download mode, changed topic...
is it possible to reset the phone in download mode?

Uuh you dont need cwm recovery to factory reset.

Recovery is vol up+vol down+home+power(All buttons should be pressed in order). Hold till you see I5801 bootlogo. Try it.
Edit : - This is for recovery. In download mode you can t factory reset.
Okaj so i cant reset the phone in download mode, what can i do?
The phone has a locked security pattern and they dont know the e-mail/password to unlock.
Can i use Kies to factory reset the phone? Any suggestions?
You can flash stock xxjps or flash another rom

Uh as I said you can boot into recovery (vl up/down + home + power) then wait till it boots. Or you can reflash the ROM if you know which on it is

Go in download mode and flash kyrillos rom non oc version.
Then go in recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik cache
Then flash stock rom.
Now you are sure you have a factory phone.
Ps: this is the long way. If you just need recovery flash the rom you prefer
So much not needed to do a simple factory reset!
Do this:
turn off phone
press home & vol up/down(both) keeping them pressed press power button and on gt-I5800/1 logo release all buttons
you'll see stock samsung recovery(just 4 options available)
use vol keys to navigate and home to select
select wipe data/factory reset and let it happen
Done!

This does not work on this phone for some reason Doing it exactly as you have described...
Must probably do it the hard way and flash CWM etc...
Goto download mode and flash a .tar as one package that contains only datafs.rfs. You ll find it in CyanogenMod thread I think.

With cache.rfs for a full reset
Or a better idea
Open back cover of the phone
On the bottom left (near the screw) just where the battery ends there is what small hole
That's the hard reset switch
Press it with a small pin and done!
Remove sdcard if you wanna preserve sdcard data
I rooted my phone successfully with vRoot but I wanted KitKat on my phone, so I went through SafeStrap to install the update and when I rebooted the phone, it just is black once I boot into system. I can still boot into download and recovery mode but that's it. Please help!!! My Note 3 is through Verizon and has the MJE update. I am in the hospital with my Fiance who is pregnant (they induced her today and have been here for 12 hours now) and really need my phone to post updates to family members. What do I do?!?

If you can get to your computer you will have to Odin back to stock and then re-root. Files and directions for this are here . If not by a computer you can try to boot into recovery mode by holding the volume up+home and the power button. Then scroll down to clear cache and then factory reset with the volume keys. This might get you back to stock, if not Odin.

Well the clear cache and factory reset didn't work, still at a black screen. But I am downloading the other thing. Thank you for the quick response. I will let you know how that turns out.

Seems like you don't have the Samsung USB drivers installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576104
That thread has a link to get them, I believe. Make sure you follow directions, I think you tried flashing a rom that was intended for the developer edition of the note 3, which is what caused your brick.
So my phone is bootlooping whenever my battery is attached. I can't go into recovery mode nor download mode. I try to push the combo buttons and the yellow triangle comes up. But when I push the vol up button it didn't load to download mode and keep rebooting. Help?
This happened after i flashed the new 5.0.1 Lollipop OS and try to put CWM recovery.

So a Tmobile update came on my phone and I decided to click update for some stupid reason... Its early.
I was stock rooted with TWRP installed.
After clicking that it rebooted and went into TWRP recovery. Whether I reboot or turn off and manually go into recovery I can't get it to reboot normally whatsoever.
I tried to flash WETA rom and everything went properly with the install but affter the reboot I am still left with TWRP.
Any suggestions on how to get my phone working again. I am downloading the 10i KDZ file now but was hoping there was another answer.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Power off or pull battery for a sec.
Hold vol down and power button - as soon as you see LG logo - release and immediately re-press power button only while continuing to hold vol down.
Factory reset screen will come up if you did it right. Use vol down to select YES twice to factory reset. ( It won't really reset anything but the recovery boot trigger ).
You'll end up in twrp. Just select reboot system and profit

Thanks for posting this. Same thing just happened to me and now my phone is back to normal.
Ok, so I tried to find a thread about this and I can't find a similar one.
It is the first time I make a thread but I am out of ideas and I don't know what to do.
So this phone is my father's and he droped it in water. I knew it was not water proof so I told him it is broken. But after 2 days I was curious and I tried to power up the phone. It did power up into recovery mode so I did a factory reset (it was charging). But after the reset it did not restart. I tried to hold pwr + home + volum up to boot into recovery but it did not work. Only download mode works. Yesterday I tried to flash a stock firmware and it worked but it still doesn't power up. It is FRP locked so I can't flash a custom rom.
Any other ideas? :crying:
flash a new official rom via odin
