Thanks for the reply. Just 1 more question what will I do after? Is this to check if you have successfully done it?
10. Restart directly to recovery mode before rebooting into OS.(Hold POWER, Volume UP, and the HOME button all at the same time. When you see the Samsung Logo, let go of the POWER button, but keep holding the Volume UP and HOME until you see the recovery screen).

Yes, if you don't perform step 10, stock recovery will be installed again when you reboot.

Hey people,
A friend of mine is getting a white screen on his Galaxy Y, can't do anything with it. Even a hard reset (as found on the internet) doesn't work. (Hard reset being holding volume up, center button and power button).
Does anyone have experience with this problem?

Thats NOT a hard reset! Pull the battery, and insert it again. Now do your "hard reset". As in, holding volume up+home+power key together until you see the Samsung logo. Do a data wipe and restart. If that doesnt work, search for flashable firmware packages in the Development section. If that doesn't work either, replace your phone.
Hey guys,
Thank you both for your replies.

Stating what happened: He just suddenly had a white screen, unable to do anything with the phone. Rebooting, pulling the battery etc. didn't do anything.
Your second option didn't work either unfortunatly.

Sorry about that, I just read in about this phone, since it's not mine, and I already forgot about the second part.
Unfortunately, neither of this works. Every boot method gets him a white screen. Since he rooted his phone about a week ago, looks like he's going to need a new one.

try flashing the ROM using Odin from the PC
Might Odin be the same as Samsung Kies in dutch? Or is this an external program?
Assuming it's this program: http://odin-win.sourceforge.net/
Now how does this work? I've been flashing my phone for quite a while now, but I'm not familiar with this program. Can I just download a ROM (stock) from the developers part here?

its a tool for windows which lets you flash firmwares. You need to connect your phone to your pc is download mode.
Search Google and you will get lots of tutorials explaining the process.

Okay thanks for all your help guys.
My friend tried everything you people suggested, but nothing worked. He just had an expert look at it and it's just totally bricked. Gotta buy a new one. Thanks for trying anyway!
Sorry for bringing this up again, but I kinda feel sorry when people brick their devices. Yours doesnt have to be a brick. Read this. The instructions are on the first page. There's a link to Odin too. Hope for the best!

Galaxy note 2 WONT BOOT!!!

Really need some assistance here if someone could please help. I downloaded chainfire 3d, because i read it would speed up my game lag/speed. After install, it asked for a reboot....my phone hasnt been able to boot now, it has been stuck on the logo screen. I can get into recovery mode, i did a reset and formatted everything (which i REALLY didnt want to do), but i need my phone on asap. After all that, nothing has worked after reboot. Still stuck on logo screen, someone please give me any ideas to get this back on its really upsetting Thanks a lot, really hope someone has some ideas.

Do you have a nandroid available? Otherwise I'd advise that you use Odin and go back to full stock

If you can still get into Download Mode you can always flash the stock rom back using the Odin tool on your PC. Use the procedure below to get into download mode:
Entering download mode is very simple. First you will need to turn off your device. Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button. Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up. Once you’re there, you will be requires to press volume up to enter the download mode or volume down to cancel and reboot the device.
Then follow these instructions:
If u have a custom recovery there's always this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769
And sadly yes cf3d does not work on any device with touchwiz jellybean
What I did in that situation is first download a stock deodexed rom.
Then connect your phone with your pc and open the Odin program on your computer.
(may or may not have to install Kies)
Then flash the deodexed rom to your phone.

Okay so I rooted the GT-S7560 or the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 X using the Duos method mentioned in this thread. This phone is showing up everywhere in Canada right now through the usual channels and I wanted to clarify the process a bit for others who stumble upon this thread. I have attached a zip file containing the files I used and a word doc with instructions. It's the same as the Galaxy Duos except for entering recovery I could not figure out the button configuration to do it so I used ADB and sent the reboot recovery command. I later learned the vol button is a rocker and to press the center of the vol button the power and home all at the same time to enter recovery.
I seek no credit, just trying to make it easier for the next.
I have tested root on a couple of apps and everything seems to working great with no issues.

[Q] Rooted phone but just one thing

Hi, just a quick question.
Firstly, my extreme paranoia is the main reason I've posted this question. I have a Samsung I9190 Galaxy S4 mini, and I followed the rooting procedure by Arco: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398143 and at step 7, I wasn't fast enough to press the buttons and the phone started up to the homescreen, so I switched the phone off and went into recovery mode (Volume up + Home + Power buttons) and carried on with the steps from there. Everything seems to have worked and my phone is now rooted and working fine, but as I said, I'm very paranoid :silly: so I just want to know if I need to worry about not doing step 7 properly, since it seems to be an important step. This is the first time I've rooted a phone btw.
Thanks!

You dont need to worry. Everything is ok
the rooting process worked,it means your phone r successfully installed the su binary and the superuser management app.installing this two little thing did not cause any problem,even if u removem

PLEASE HELP Cannot Unbrick Galaxy Tab S2 8.0

Hey guys. I've been trying to fix this problem for a couple weeks now and haven't gotten anywhere.
Product: SM-T710 (Galaxy Tab S2 8.0) running Android 5.0.2.
Bought as new. Worked for about an hour, then bricked itself. No boot-loop, just stuck at the boot screen on the Samsung logo. Can enter download mode, but cannot power off or enter recovery mode.
I have re-flashed stock ROM and TWRP many times. When I flash TWRP the only change is that it now says recovery is not seandroid enforicing at boot.
Please, please help! This is driving me mad!

Sorry had to edit my post. Im sure this issue has been addressed already. Just search your device name and you should find the correct thread to get the info you need. You most likely used an incompatible version of twrp or root file for the rom youre using. Dont worry tho just head over to your devices forum and Im sure youll easily find the fix to your problem.
If you cant fix it...Ill buy it for parts
