Hello i was flashing a new ROM and some how i borked it and now stuck on galaxy note 2 screen. So i installed up to date drivers and latest odin, downloaded a .tar for my phone and now the computer says "does not recognize device" and odin wont recognize either. It was actually doing the "device not recognized" thing before i borked this evening. So basically i cant use odin and cant get into recovery, when the phone is off and i plug in the charger it just hangs on the battery screen even though it don't move and the screen stays on when i unplug the charger, PLEASE HELP!! I was on latest att stock TW rooted ROM. Any help would be great!! Oh and it will go into download mode, PC just wont recognize device.

I was trying to install one of drewgarens touchwiz roms. touchwiz milestone 5 firefly i believe. not the most recent one because i was too lazy . boy was that a mistake. everything was going smoothly until it booted and it got stuck on boot. I thought no big deal just go into recovery and use a backup. until i did so and recovery was gone and there was only download mode. I have spent the whole afternoon trying to fix it and none of it has worked. I tried flashing the stock rom and it as well got stuck on boot. I looked at all the AT&t relevant ones and also the international versions. so all in all is there anyway to fix this and has anyone had the same issue? i was flashing from cyanogenmod 10 m1 to the drewgaren rom btw. I can also go to download mode. I tried to flash stock but it still gets stuck on boot. log. I flashed the ATT boot logo and it did not work. all of which were flashed through odin.
any thanks in advance is greatly appreciated.
I think you can flash back to stock with just download mode + odin

Unplug your device. Hold the power button to turn it off. Hold volume up, home, and power. It should go to recovery. If you do the same thing with volume down instead of up, you can get into download mode.

Follow the instructions and you should be able to flash the recovery and continue on with what you were doing. Remember to wipe really good when going from aosp back to any stock based ROM. They are completely different and will cause boot loops if you don't wipe.

K I made it home lol. I'll attach a Odin flashable cwm, it's an older one but it'll get you a recovery, I hope. I just tried it on my phone with Odin, 3.07 both with usb debugging enabled and disabled on my phone and it worked both times. Crap keep getting errors uploading right to xda servers, I'll drop box it in a minute.
Ok here we go Odin cwm--> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28590257/Odin recovery/CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v4.tar.md5
Newest twrp --> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/28590257/Odin recovery/twrp2.3.1install.zip
I'll add the newest twrp for you lol. Flash the cwm with odin, should work and then the twrp is a zip you can flash in cwm.
Hope this helps get you a recovery.
Remember in Odin use only PDA and only have auto reboot checked.

This may sound like a stupid question but what boxes do i tick in odin?
After your hooked up and Odin is open under the options on the left side check only Auto Reboot. On the right under files check PDA and use that button to browse your computer and find the cwm you downloaded from my dropbox. Then just hit start on the bottom of the Odin window and let it finish, your phone should reboot when its done. It will get stuck again like you described in your first post but pull the battery, put it back in and boot into recovery using vol up,home and power buttons. That should (if everything flashed OK) put you into cwm 5.5.0.4. Once there wipe data/factory reset then restore the back up you mentioned in your original post, that should get you running again.

If something has happened to your backup then you could try the stock rooted stuff here , just pick the one for your carrier and follow the instructions. :highfive:

I was able to get it into recovery but i realized i did not have my sd card in so i turned it off and put my sd card in. unfortunately i was not able to get it back into recovery i tried flashing it again with the sd card in and no luck
That's odd. Couple of stupid questions on my part just to make sure, you had the right button combo, and, you released the buttons soon as the splash screen came on? Can you still get into download mode? Oh and did you do the wipes while in recovery?

oh my gosh THANK YOU SOOOMUCH. I was worried i would have to take it to at&t ill be sure to press the thanks button.
I take it you got your phone working lol. Glad I could help a little. Little advice, anytime you switch to a different type of ROM (aosp to stock based or the other way around) make sure you wipe data/factory reset before flashing anything. It will save you problems in the long run.
Oh and could you go back and edit your original post and just add solved in brackets to the title for people in trouble looking for info.

Depending on which stock ROM you flashed with odin you should now have a recovery, if not then something isn't right. The full bone stock ROM should have the factory 3e recovery, and the root injected stock ROM should have some version of CWM recovery. A factory reset will most likely fix your boot loop, if there is no recovery flash the rooted stock ROM that matches your device from this guide.
Edit - Didn't see there was a second page 0_o
the only thread i found was of no help.
heres my problem.
i have an ATT SGS3. rooted/unlocked for tmobile.
this morning i turned it on and it was stuck at the SAMSUNGS GALAXY 3 screen. ive tried to do a hard reset and it comes up with TEAMWIN and options to wipe,format,reboot etc. only problem is when i goto reboot it says there is NO OS!
how can i get to the point where i need/can reinstall an OS on the phone??!! anybody able to help??

thanks

Do you have an external micro sd card? If so, you could place a rom on it and flash it in twrp.
If not, you should be able to get into download mode where you could flash a T-Mobile stock rom.
Let me know

OS's don't just disappear... did you do anything that would have erased it ?
Best option is to do as Ber suggested and load a ROM on an ext sdcard since you already have TWRP.. Flash a ROM and you are backup and going. If not just flash one of the Stock rooted firmwares on the notrip rooting guide to get back to stock rooted.

You can get into download mode by pushing home+power+volume down and this should give you an option to to proceed into download mode. Now with android you can be missing the OS and your phone will be "fine". The ROM you flash is the OS. The soft brick are just fixed by going back and installing the rom from recovery. IF you wants just stock rooted go into download mode and flash with odin. Personally I'd just flash a ROM.
1. Download a ROM
2. copy it to your ext sdcard
3. Boot into recovery which it shoudl do automatically with no OS when you have TWRP.
4. Hit install. Click external storage and select the ROM you installed form there. Swipe to confirm install. Bingo !
I wonder if you hit wipe system as well when you did a factory system. It's hard to do in twrp and not sure how that happened.

Possible but in he would have to select format system and data and factory reset. You can't do all at the same time unless its a wipe script. Hard to say for sure.

Don't take this wrong but you're off on your understanding of these processes. Look over the attached link. It's all the procedures required, from rooting to flashing. You already have a custom recovery installed. Within this recovery (which you are accessing via your current button combo) you can flash a rom.

The developer upndwn4par has a twrp flashable zip of stock touchwiz. Search for him/it here on the forums
If you browse the Android development section, you will find stock firmware that you can flash via odin

Hello! I have been flashing roms/kernels for awhile now. I have tried probably 12-15 different roms and beanstalk has been my favorite for awhile now.
Anyway, i decided to revert back to stock so i could update and try stock 4.3. First thing i did was flash stock 4.1.1(i think thats what version it was) firmware with odin. Everything went fine and phone booted up and worked perfectly. So i proceeded to update via software update in the settings menu. My phone updated flawlessly and before i knew it i was on stock unrooted 4.3. Needless to say I did not like the changes, so i decided to go back to the older version.
So, i flashed the stock 4.1.1 firmware with odin again and it was a pass. I then tried to turn my phone back on and it would hang at the samsung logo. So i figured i would restore my old beanstalk backup. I tried to restore it and there was an error. So i rebooted my phone and it hanged on the samsung logo again, only this time there is that little blue cyanogenmod guy there like it used to be when i was running beanstalk. I tried flashing different stock firmwares and now they all fail with odin. I rebooted into recovery and did a data wipe many times and i still cannot boot or flash anything with odin.
I can still get into cwm recovery and download mode. Im thinking that the older stock rom i flashed caused problems because i was on 4.3. Something wrong with the bootloader maybe?
Any help or advice to get this fixed would be great. I still feel there is hope because i can reboot into recovery and download mode.
well nvm, my phone is really screwed now. I read another post and it said to flash a boot image file. I flashed the file and tried to reboot and now the phone wont come on and i cant get into recovery or download mode. =-( now i officially have a paper weight
be there... done that

I would first download a fresh version of a rom and the corresponding version of GAPPs and on your computer. Transfer you files onto you misco SD card via the SD card slot on the computer. Boot your phone into recovery and flash them from the /sdcard1 option. Should flash successfully. Then reboot. I always keep spare ROM versions on my removable card for such emergencies. Also, keep a current ROMbackup there as well. Good luck.

It's kind of been a known issue since the day the OTA came out that downgrading the bootloader from the one that comes with 4.3 will hard brick your device. No known fix.
Hi,
I tried to install cm11 on my new F240L and i think i used the wrong cwm file on freegee.
Now when i turn it on there is a screen on for a second saying: secure booting error. cause: device unlock! , so boot success!!
after that it goes to a screen loop of cm logo spinning.
i couldn't find a solution online.
What can I do?

I get the same device unlock error when I boot up, but I believe that is normal when you have root.. Did the CM file flash successfully and which one did you use?
yes it said the flash was successful and still its stuck in a loop.
could it be the wrong cwm on freegee?

Can you still get to CWM? If so, try wiping cache and dalvik cache to begin with.. If that doesn't work, do you know how to push files from the computer to the phone through ADB? If you do, here is the link for correct recoveries for the F240L..

You could download and push one of those recoveries, reboot to recovery, then try to reflash CM11...if all else fails, you can return to stock with the LG Flash tools and start from scratch..

No I don't think you have destroyed it.. Is there an option in CWM to sideload files (through ADB)?

yes there is.
after pressing on install zip it says: install zip from sideload
Do you know how to sideload? You can try to download and sideload another rom that is compatible with your device.. As long as you can get to recovery or download mode you still have hope...If your screen doesn't turn on at all, that's when you are hard bricked and out of luck

I didn't even think about this, but if it still recognizes your external SD card, you can download a rom onto your computer, copy it to the SD card, then install through CWM.

SD does nor seem to work
I do not know how to do that. Where is it recommended to learn?
You first have to have Android SDK found here:
https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
This link explains what ADB is and how to use it:

I'm not familiar with the F240L as mine is the E980.. I don't want to give you any wrong information...
I did find this thread that looks similar to your problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552699
That may be a start on how to fix it.. I know how frustrating it can be.. I have soft bricked mine once..
thanks! I read and tried pushing several files a few times and they either install successfully and i come back to cwm or are stuck trying to install the rom.
again, any ideas?

I'm out of ideas for you to try other than a complete stock restore and start over.. I would read ALOT before doing anything that may cause issues...
I found this thread on how to return to stock on your phone (looks like he gave really good instructions):

finally after endless tries I got a break! thanks a million for your help!!
now I have a miui v5.5 that only has english and chieneese on it.
I dont really like it and would prefer anything that's stock google 4.4, though i think im to traumatized to go through anything like that again. I cant even install nova on it now.
So I flashed a ROM, not gonna mention which so I'm not withchunted.
It bootlooped and after a second flash, same thing.
I did a factory reset and Data cleanup and device says no OS found, I got TWRP however.
I tried using a backup, but it says "Failed" in the middle of it. Nor I can mount as USB Storage or whatever you'd call it
Don't know how to recover through Odin, please help.

How u clean up?
If u still have twrp, try to use sd card reader and copy a prerooted rom/custom rom to ur sdcard from pc or laptop.
After that u can try to flash it from twrp.

I still have the ROM in my phone. However, it won't flash after the Factory Reset. It's like root access are now gone
About how I cleaned up - System, Dalvik cache, cache
Nevermind, powered phone off and it installed SuperSU, flashed my backup and I'm back to DN3, never gonna change again
Nevermind, backup still failed. Gonna install that other ROM so I can transfer DN3 to it directly.
-Second issue has arised - Now I cant use DN3 properly, I get the error: com.procces.android.acome has stopped.
I didn't clean data, but guess I will do that.
As long as you have your recovery (TWRP or Philz) you are pretty much safe. Just download and copy a ROM to your external sd card and use recovery to flash.
If that fails then Odin is really simple.
Just hold volume down, home and power buttons and you'll be booted into the download mode screen... (press volume up to continue).
Then get your firmware from sammobile.com and get Odin (Google will help find it fast)
Open Odin and put the file(s) in the right boxes (they normally tell you which ones if it's multiple files, and put in PDA if it's the single file).
Then hit start and sit back while the phone is brought back from the dead.

If you have DN3 on your external sd card, use the advanced wipe in TWRP and select all but the bottom 2. This will clear everything and get the phone ready for a fresh start with DN3.

Did all that, thank you.
I had the other ROM still in the card, and despite no OS TWRP rooted my phone and allowed me to flash it, from there I managed to do all.
It was just bothersome there was no way to mount USB and transfer it through TWRP, did it through Philz the last time and it was easy.
Back to philz now
