So what i did is i unplugged the phone from the computer, holded volume up and power up tryin to get out of download mode. I did a battery was shown and it tried to boot after that but it was stuck on thhe samsung galaxy note II display. Now what happens is the recovery cant turn on. The phone cant turn on but i can get in download mode. What should i do to save my phone. Pls help

Download just the MJ5 bootloader and TWRP recovery in tar format. Flash one after the other.

We are not specific and are not spoon feeding you because this not done that way. You HAVE to spend time and learn what is what. The answers you need and the help you need are already here. If you're expecting download links and screenshots you shouldn't be modifying your phone. The whole point of this community is to learn and share the knowledge - not spoon feed.
Go to the TWRP thread, read up and download the tar that you need to flash through odin. Look for the MJ5 bootloader (hint: look up Wanam's ROM thread, that's one of the many places). After you got these two, boot to TWRP and flash the ROM.
Finally, as long as your phone gets into download mode, it's not bricked. And you got to do something incredibly foolish to make it not boot into bootloader. That said, it would be prudent to learn and act rather than blindly execute what you read - I said the same thing in not so many words in my reply to you in the DN3 ROM thread.

If you have used ODIN before to flash anything using this computer you are trying with now, you don't need to reinstall the drivers.

Ok. Thank you very much . There is one problem. I think you guys didnt understand that the computer finds the phone but Odin doesnt i think i must install the drivers for odin to find it. Can someone tell me if ican install the drivers while i am in download mode and how am i supposed to do it ? maybe theres a tutorial somewhere. I am really sorry for not being good with this. But its because i bought the phone already rooted. I know i already took lots of your time but i know how to do everything accept odin doesnt find my phone and thats the biggest problem. Thanks once again

First you need to put your phone in download mode(V Down+Power+Menu) when you see the screen press the V up. Now your phone in download mode.
Now run odin on your PC, connect your phone to the PC, odin automatically recognize your divce, now in odin click pda, select philz recovery.tar and press start tab. after finish the process remove your phone from pc.
Now go for recovery mode(V up+power+Menu)
Enjoy

So you successfully flashed the recovery via odin but you are not able to boot into it?
When u are in samsung note 2 boot screen keep pressed volume up, home and power buttons. When phone reboots and shows u samsung note 2 bootscreen then release the power button but keep pressed the others two until the phone boot in recovery. Try this and tell me what happen.

What rom did you flash thru cwm2.x?
Edit; I think I missed that, you where just booting into cwm via 3 finger and it didn't boot into cwm?
Edit edit; if you pull the battery and try to boot into cwm again, does it still get stuck st the samscreen?
How can I use the pc if I cant boot the phone to the main screen will it still work. Im sorry as you can tell I'm new to this

Ok here are some vids, the first one is how to root without a pc and he also made how to use odin. Check those out and come back here if you have any questions. Your phone is recoverable, it just may take a bit of work.

Lol.....chances are you may have missed a tidbit of info. Check out odin then, it sounds like it may be your saving grace, also there's an odin thread in the development section. Its all up to date.

i have been encountering this error whenever i go to recovery mode. is this a problem with my phone or with the deodexed rooted rom, with cwm, or with the custom rom i installed?
This is samsung bootloader bug
While rebooting to recovery,Just release power button once screen light appears
Then you will booted into recovery.

Turn it on again by pressing power and volume button (up or down doesn’t matter) but same time.
After Logo “Android out of box will appear”

Thank You, I found it and already fixed it.
same problem
just for the sake of enforcement, i have the same problem. although i don't know if it was there from the start, but i noticed it after flashing rooted stock via ODIN.
then, i flashed CWM, and it was still there. I flashed a stock rom and checked if i can get into stock recovery, no luck!
then i flashed CWM from another source, and it was still there.
so i flashed CF-root to go back to stock recovery, and it is still there.
finally, i flashed CWM, and rebooted into recovery via ROM Manager, and flashed a custom ROM which includes a custom recovery, and it is still there!!!
So, i wake up every morning, and it is still there.....

so when you reboot your device it goes back to downloading mode directly???
becasue when i try same thing like you .. my phone was rebooting but it got stuck on the Samsung Logo.
what i know is ... you can you Volume up + home button+on.off button to go to recovery mode
so when you press all 3 together and see Samsung Galaxy on device .. release them... and it will go to recovery mode...
for me it works like that.
i am newbie to Android... so i am telling you this from my personal information.
give it a try if you feel like

Well you can only get into download mode. So you need to install a custom recovery using odine. CWM is short for clockwork mod recovery. Find a how to and install cwm using odine.
Another custom recovery is TWRP. I like using TWRP. Has a nice touch interface.

If you have a computer download a Rom of your liking then install meaning find the file on your sd card then flash it? I recommend something close to the stock Rom then try new ones btw make a back up of your stock rom!!!!!! P.s. Look at YouTube for tutorials on how to?

To be more clear.
You said you can't boot into recovery. You can only boot into download mode. What download mode means is that you have to install cwm from a computer using odine. You connect your phone to a computer using a USB cable. Boot your phone into download mode. Open odine on your PC select the cwm odine file and push it to your phone. Disconnect your phone from your pc. Then you can put a ROM on your exSDcard and boot into recover and install the ROM.
Do a search on xda on how to install cwm using odine. I'm not going to write how to do it here cause you can search and do it your self. Good luck

I had touch recovery installed on phone. I then proceeded to install cwm based recovery because that is what author of the rom said. After I was done installing CWM on phone, I then started installing the custom rom along with the gapps that came with it. Now my phone doesn't boot into the custom rom at all. I just see the Samsung boot logo, then the screen goes black. I am able to boot into recovery mode though. I see there are guides. They mention to hold both the up and down volume button, but nothing happens. Am I missing something here. Any help is appreciated.

How did u flash your rom? I'm guessing it was a 4.3? Did u remember to wipe? Also remember to flash the rom and gapps from your ext SD card not your internal cwm is a lil touchy

I have the same issue where I installed the CWM based recovery and was able to install the ROM successfully without any problems. Couple of days later I decided to go into recovery mode to take a backup before I flash a newer nightly. I was not able to get into the recovery mode at all and it just goes to the Samsung logo and stays there. Can't boot the phone either!! It's just weird that the Vol up + Down combos or the Vol Up + Power combos do not work either.
What are the other options that I should try?

Try putting the phone in DL mode, get ur USB wore and connect it to PC, now with ur phone off hold vol+vols while plugging in the USB wire, u should get a screen with a warning of some kind, follow directions and press continue, now ur in DL mode, use Odin to flash twrp 2.6.0.4 from techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules now u should have a fully functional recovery capable of flashing 4.3 roms without any hassle, soft bricks are an easy fix with this phone ..

Try putting the phone in DL mode, get ur USB wore and connect it to PC, now with ur phone off hold vol+vols while plugging in the USB wire, u should get a screen with a warning of some kind, follow directions and press continue, now ur in DL mode, use Odin to flash twrp 2.6.0.4 from techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules now u should have a fully functional recovery capable of flashing 4.3 roms without any hassle, soft bricks are an easy fix with this phone ..

Thanks a ton... I used your exact method to get back TWRP recovery back onto the phone. Also followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195283 to get the ODIN, Drivers, steps, etc in order to get the phone to boot back into my ROM.
Hope it helps the OP or someone else with similar issues.

I have the same problem, but despite reinstalling the drivers and using kies and more than one version of odin, I can't get odin to recognize my device in download mode, the com port never turns yellow and windows won't assign a com port. Anyone know a solution to that?

Try different com ports on PC and make sure ur using the factory usn wire, Odin is funny like that, oh and if u have lies installed on the PC Odin will not recognize the phone, Odin and lies don't play well together, remove any and all traces of it or use a PC that doesn't have it install because as long as its there u won't get a connection

It's not a matter of trying different com ports, I can't get the PC or Odin to recognize the phone in download mode despite uninstalling kies, installing the latest drivers twice, 3 different OEM cables, multiple usb ports, nothing. when I plug it in, Windows doesn't make any sound like with other usb devices, nor does it try and search for drivers. Are there any other options short of JTAG repair?

Try a diff PC then because if u can get it into download mode it doesn't need JTAG, idk why ur PC isn't setting it but if u can get into download mode u should be able use odin, I'd DL mode works it's only a soft brick, JTAG would be a waste

I think infamous superwipe fouled it up to where it's not recognized as a usb device, my ps3 no longer read it as a device either. Know of a way to reverse that ?

That's strange because as long as u can get into DL mode Odin should work, all JTAG does is force the phone into DL mode so u can flash the firmware, but since u can access DL mode JTAG won't help u, and if it was hardbricked it would show up in window as qcom-dsload or something like that, the ps3 maybe won't recognize it because there is no recovery installed but I would try a new computer, search drivers for t989 and install that driver and use Odin 1.85, if none of that works then idk man but it should work...

Well.. somehow I managed every time the phone tries to boot it says GT-s7500
i didnt flash any wrong rom... just install Clockwork Recovery from Google Play and tried to install a recovery from there and then Hell broke loose.
it only boots into recovery but i cant install anything. every package i choose to install gives me some error and the installation aboards. I tried various things but nothing really works...
than I downloaded Odin put the phone in the Downloading Mode.. the problem i have there is that despite the Samsung appears in WIndows Device manager ODIN doesnt see it so that I could restore it from there!
any advice would be really helpfull!!
thanks!!

Sounds Like You Flashed A Recovery For Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus on your gio!
To Flash VIA Odin, Install Samsung USB Driver For Mobile Phones By @SamHaLeKe :good: and make sure you are not using win 8.1 :fingers-crossed:

thats what I did.. but unfortunately ODIN doesnt see my phone...
when I plug the USB into the phone there comes a message saying: "odin oops - usb read transaction failed"
should I try one of the other "unbrick" methods??
thanks!!!
Good Luck!

well yeah i tried various USB ports... I have managed to do something.. although it is still strange..
I downloaded all ODIN versions... as I sais before the 4.42 didnt see my phone... as any other 4xxxx version...
the only versions that did see my phone when connected were: 1.85 - 1.87 and the 3.09, I repeat 4.42 NOT working...
so tried to flash there... but only errors came up for some reason.... I had downloaded some recoveries for the phone so I tried flashing them. That worked. I got a success.
I tried flashing: stockrecovery-DXKT4-odin.tar
cwm-5.0.2.7-ext4+rfs-odin.tar
cwm-5.0.2.7-ext4only-odin.tar
they were all successfully installed but I just cant flash a firmware,,,, :/
Now when the Phone boots up I get the samsung logo and afer that the yellow exclamation mark!
Though I cant boot in any of the recoveries I previously flashed!!
thank you!!
Redownload gio ops file and try again (use a different source) with ODIN v4.42

Try the usb drivers from this link, they should work perfectly. You can use the other files, like the recovery's and gio ops as wel from that link.
Whatever happens to my phone, I use these files to repair my gio and till now, I always succeeded...

If flashing only the recovery doesn't solve your problem, flash stockrom...

Hello! Sure I know that. But as I have said i CANT flash any rom! every time I try to "error" pops up!
Thanks for you files but I still got the same Problem. Odin 4.42 wont recognize my phone! (I have tried various drivers and of course the ones you sent me too)
So if there would be any other solution I would really appreciate! )

That's not a Gio (S5660) DUDE, That's a Mini 2 (S6500), you need Mini 2 firmware for flashing stock via ODIN (v3.04).
Happy Flashing
P.S: Odin (v4.42) is only for Gio and related models.
