[Q] Glide wont reboot stright into Recovery

I am not new to the concept of rooting and loading a custom rom. This is the 3rd android phone that I have bothered with. However it is the first one I have had to use Odin to root or push files to.
I have used CarpeNoctem's writeup on how to root and utkanos' CWMR port writeup. Ofter verifying I had root, I decided I would try out Carpe's OsiMood. No problem right? Here is where I am wondering what if anything went wrong on the previous steps.
I made a back up ofter finally getting it to recovery mode, and when I tried flashing the new rom, it would not complete the process.
As it sits, when I choose recovery from CWM it reboots to the android with triangle screen(see attached video). What concerns me is the lack of fluidity into the recovery, the fact that it loads in only after the battery is removed and the phone is turned back on and lastly that I cannot flash a new rom.
It appears as though I need more posts to add my link for youtube.
Please add standard youtube weblink before this to watch the video.

What would you recommend my first action be?
Thanks,

This also quite unfortunate for ROM manager, "somewhat", not working fully for the Glide (yet). I can't really go into 3e/CWM recovery with the app, but manually (volume down + power/lock button) has no problems. This also happens on my Captivate (SGH-I896/7), I need to restart the device for a second time to boot into recovery. As per your flashing issues, you might need to mount /system manually and then flash the ROM, when it fails, try and try again, always happens to me from stock rogers ROM. Also, if you have Titanium Backup, it now supports reboot device features (recovery and hard reboot)

Thanks for your insight. I tried volume down and power before but when I saw the samsung logo pop up I figured it wouldn't work.
I will try flashing again and report back. Thanks again.

Tried flashing again, worked great. If only the glide had more support. Lol.
Currently running OsiMood.

My glide does not boot. I can get into Download Mode. I can NOT get into de recovery mode. I think my NAND is corrupted.
How can I mount the /system partition? Because I flashed too many roms with ODIN, but nothing, still not booting, I get stuck in the samsung logo.

Use Odin to reflash recovery,you backups should still be there unless like you say maybe they got corrupted as well,but its worth a shot.

I've already flashed the stock recovery, the CWM, a lot of kernels, even I tried to flash the kernel and bootloader of the Galaxy S II, but nothing.
I'm starting to think that maybe is a hardware problem. Hope not, but I'm not moving foward.

If you havent already,pull out the sim and sd card.
Reboot your pc and download a fresh up to date Odin.
So when you flash it says it successful and then just doesnt boot?
I had a boot loop once ,had me stumped and it turned out to be my sd card was poached and caused the loop.

Exactly... It goes all over the process bar, says succesfull, the phone turns off, and nothing. The phone not even restart itself, I have to remove the battery, put it back again, and then it turns on, but just to show me the samsung logo.
I've used the ODIN version 1.85 and the new one 3.04. But nothing. This is so frustating.

Please, tell me there is a solution...

There are one alternative to boot
1. Shut down and then restart phone in recovery mode. For the Samsung Captivate Glide, this required pressing the power, volume down and home keys all at the same time.
2. The initial screen which appears gives you a choice of loading a replacement OS (volume up) or entering recovery mode (volume down). Note you have to hold the volume down key for several seconds before the recovery mode menu appears.

Need help, stuck at logo and can't hard reset.

PROBLEM SOLVED.
So at first I used Kingroot to rood my device, and it failed, but then i just realized few days later that Kingroot was installed and used root checker to check and said that it does have root access. After that decided to change the Kingroot to SuperSU by following this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WevWdErXWy4 (It's the SuperSU Me app). I then updated SuperSU binaries and restarted the phone, and now its stuck at the loading screen. I tried hard resetting my phone but it would only show the screen with the android logo and shapes in its belly for about 2 second and go back to the stuck logo screen. Now I'm wondering if there's any fix for it, and if there's no fix then I'm going to try resetting it through this http://lgg3root.com/lg-g3-root/how-to-unrootunbrick-lg-g3/ guide and I was wondering if I should download and use the bell stock factory firmware (I have a virgin mobile version).
Edit: fixed to be more clear.

if you can get into recovery you can probably do it without unbricking. to you have stock recovery or twrp or what? If you have stock recovery then boot into recovery and just run it and itll hard reset your phone, if you have twrp or something just download the flashable rom of your choice (there are stock modded roms too if you like stock) put it on an sdcard and wipe and install that rom.
if you don't know how to get into recovery then make sure your phone is off (if ur not sure do a battery pull and put it back in). hold volume down and power button until the screen comes on. when it comes on let go of vol down and power and then push vol and power again and hold again until you see the writing)
btw if you do a stock recovery hard wipe then you will lose root.

I also faced this problem...

Problem solved. I just flashed the stock firmware onto my phone and it fixed the stuck on logo problem.

MM 6.0.1 Xposed Update!

So, i recently have tried flashing Xposed on the MM 6.0.1 on G920P a.k.a Sprint S6
( ALL_SPT_G920PVPU3CPB6_G920PSPT3CPB6_CL7280193_QB8664149_REV02_user_low_ship.tar )
I have root and recovery, but Xposed doesnt seem to comply with me.
from multiple sources or builds.
And each Xposed file that i've tried so far that i've been flashing over and over again, rinse and repeat.
( Flash Stock through Odin, Go through setup process on the phone, Reboot Back to Download mode to Flash TWRP, Reboot, Back to TWRP to Flash Xposed, Once flashed i Restart it again, back to the s6 screen to becoming a black screen bootloop, thus having me restart the whole flashing process again )
from android file host website. And Default xda unofficialy build on this website.
xposed-v79-sdk23-arm64-by-romracer-20151218
xposed-v80.0-sdk23-arm64-custom-build-by-wanam-20160211 - ABDYASAR 7.8MB

xposed-v80-sdk23-arm64-by-romracer-20160202
It would go from the Galaxy S6 Boot Menu startup to black screen and bootloop back to the original BootMenu or screen.
NO LED cycles nothing, but i can access Download Mode and Recovery But Updating Nor Uninstalling doesn't do anything to the rom, it just keeps boot looping unless i Flash the Stock back into place.
I'd like to have Xposed working i havent found a version for me that would work for this but i would really appreciate if everyone could help out.

Did it work. Ive only noticed a tad bit longer boot up the 1st time but all good.

i've tried most of them and i tried v80.0 or v80 and i got one part success half i didnt which was from it i got to the LTE spectrum screen and it just would go past that before it would just be the led flashing and bglank screen, i waited about and hour and still nothin changed from that screen.

Nevermind i made an update

This is what i've managed so far.... what am i missing here?
So here's what i"d take place in order to attempt a flash of Xposed Framework.
I start with Pre- Downloading the files for the MM 6.0.1 Stock Rom, it's in the forums Somewhere.
TWRP ( New_S6_Spr_TWRP_MM_Bootloader2 ) a.k.a 3.0.1
(This is a special version only for the Sprint SM-G920P and is meant to be flashed with Odin)
SuperSU 2.68 a.k.a ( BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503 )
and obviously, Odin ( Odin3 v3.10 )
The steps that are taken place.
1st. I'd Boot my device into download/odin mode.
or
( while the device is powered off, i press and hold the home+power+volume down buttons.
and from there I'd be taken to a light blueish screen saying "Warning", and i follow through by pressing volume up)
2nd.
Once the device is in download/odin mode, and ready to go, i'd take my phone, plug it into my windows PC and open Odinv3 and from there
i'd select in odin, or i'd click the "AP" button and select the, tar file.
After that has been flashed thoroughly, I'd then proceed with the follow on screens, the 1st reboot and it updates or it says
Optimizing app 1 to 30.... the 2nd reboot where the hand free activation commences and
from that 3rd time it reboots and boots up again, i'd follow up with my login information.
3rd. once my device has been fully booted from the 2nd part, i'd then shut it down or restart it into "download mode again" and connect it to my pc again
and from there i'd load odin, and search or i'd find where I downloaded the special "TWRP .tar" or recovery file
and select the "Ap" option again and press start Afterwards.
After it flashes, right when its done i automatically hold the home+power+volume up buttons,
turn the device off and hold home+power+volume up and your should get some red text in the upper left hand corner with recovery not enforcing, that's okay dont be worried,
and from there it should boot into and be brought into TWRP...finally lol.
Now that's where you can flash SuperSU
4th. I'd leave my phone connected to my pc until, it's fully booting into twrp or i'd just connect it once im in the recovery.
I let my pc detect my phone and i'd copy both of these files.
SuperSU 2.68
and
Xposed
4th. After its copied, i'd go back into my phone, i tap install, and i select supersu and let it run, afterwards, i press reboot.
And let it sit for about another 2 minutes to do its own thing. Afterwards. once the phone is fully booted up.
I'd then go back into recovery, and flash Xposed and i'd wait about another 2-3 minutes for it to cycle
from the LTE Spectrum Screen to the, torquise colored screen where it's finally optimizing apps from 0 to 331.
5th. Once done, i'd finally have my advantage to install what i'd like which i'm doing as of right now still testing it out.
P.S if you do what i do for the SnapPrefs Module then i'd take in high note that before you flash the Xposed to download latest Snapchat 9.26
log in, once logged in then proceed with the rest and download XInstaller to downgrade from 9.26 to 9.17.1.0 to take full advantage of Snapprefs coolness.
upon note so far, after installing the modules, i rebooted my phone and it boots until it hits the LTE Spectrum screen and it has a light blueish pusling cycle and im stuck here.
maybe i can try another version. to be continued...
If you need any help feel free, i will try as best as i can, as i am a n00b but i have plenty of free time and have some decent knowledge about this.

After , i went back into recovery, i went to uninstall xposed thru the other flash file and its says optimizing 0 to 36 items and it booted so far, mayber after i flash the cache again and reinstall i should be fine but until further notice...tbc

Alright after a good amount of time i;ve finally concluded that the versions i;ve tired from xposed were the ones from the OFFICIAL thread and id always bootloop with that puling blue led and black screen, BUT with Wanams Xposed Version 80, and 79 they worked EXCEPT i can only get to the LTE SPecturm white boot screen and it does nothing from there BUT when i flash 80.1 it completely pulls through with the boot and completes but i had forgotten to mention that for some people on aanother thread that Xinstaller may leave you with bootloops and as it did for me thats exactly what happened. But i m still confused as to why the officials dont work by wanams does even after wiping cache,and dalvik cache multiple times and uninstall and reinstalling xposed.

Does yours still bootloop or did it finally pull through?

Weird issue on my i747m

Hi guys, I rooted a friends s3 to enable aws on it and it was working , yesterday she calls me and tells me that it is not working anymore. So I check it and notice there is no root access.
I try to install it using CFRoot . odin flashes fine , I see it running on the phone but once you boot in Supersu states it is not rooted.
Next tried a slew of programs, towelroot apk but nothing works.
Next tried to factory reset, boot in to twrp and I get asked for a password, hit cancel and I get in to the menu. I try to mount the sd card and it fails, trying to install zip from sd fails, factory reset seems to work, wipe data fails and ask for a decrypt code.
I also tried using CWM recovery with basically the same results.
THe last thing I tried was downloading the same firmware 4.4.2 and flashing with odin, it says successful but after rebooting, the phone is exactly the same, nothing changed , it has the same apps, same wallpaper.
I am wondering if my friend let her son play with the phone and turned on some kind of encryption or security that is stopping it from getting wiped back to stock.

Try flashing stock ROM again but uncheck everything except f reset time. When you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, wait 3 seconds, replace battery, use button combination to boot into recovery, factory wipe, reboot.
To root, flash twrp, then flash supersu.zip from recovery.
Download the latest tar version of TWRP from here: https://dl.twrp.me/d2att/
Download supersu from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Save supersu to the phone's internal or memory.
When flashing TWRP in Odin, uncheck everything except f reset time. When you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, wait 3 seconds, replace battery, use button combination to boot into recovery, flash supersu.zip, reboot.

Updated Android O stuck on G boot screen

Hey all,
So I updated my pixel xl to Android O, and then used the modified TWRP to flash Super Su, SUhide. The phone booted up and everything was perfect. It was a little sluggish so I decided to do a full factory reset... again, phone reset, booted perfectly. I then restored all my apps from the google play store cloud... phone was functioning fine.
I went to reboot the phone after a while... and now the phone is stuck on the G logo after the bouncing dots... and just continues to load.
It's been like that for over 20 minutes.
Is this normal? Anyway I can fix this?
Thanks!

I have the same exact issue after following the exact process described above. After a weekend of frustration, I was thrilled to see this post, but then bummed there are no suggestions. There is no way I can get it back to recovery, no matter what power/volume combination I try. The phone is not detectable by ADB either, so unless a kind soul has a suggestion, there seems to be nothing to do except let the battery die and hope.

Umm boot into bootloader and flash stock boot.img and system.img?

I would love to do that, but how is it possible if there is no power or volume button combination that can get me off of the Google boot screen and into bootloader?

Have you tried Power + volume down ? It'll turn off after release power button only. That or let the battery die and when you try to plug it up next time leave vol down pressed.

I have tried that, thank you. I will let battery die and do the Volume Down method you suggest, and report back.

That did the trick. Back to stock 8.0.0, and hoping to find a stable root method that doesn't hang-up on the first reboot. Thanks for the help!

First of all. Hold the power button for about 20 secs and the phone will reboot.
Hold vol - and you are straight to bootloader.
Second flash full factory to both slots.
And third stop using the - w solution when you are coming from another rom or a different stock version. We had this problems on other forums and it was every time - w or not flashing both slots. I know for many people there will be no problem but some apps are just misbehaving when you do so. And they are causing reboots and bootloops.

OK, thank you! I am not familiar with the -w method. This is a new Pixel XL I received from Google to replace a nexus 6p with a bootloader issue. I made the mistake of not attempting this before it updated from 7.1.2 to 8.0.0, or it may have been a different story.
So I have the the phone restored to 8.0.0 and was going to attempt root. But I didn't realize there are two slots to flash. I simply ran flash-all.bat and the phone came back up. So I guess I'd have to move the Sept security stock image over to the phone along with the SU, SU Config (which may not be needed if on 8.0.0?), and Su Hide. Then I boot up TWRP 3.1.1 and flash stock image to both slots, reboot, then get back into TWRP and run the SU, then SU Hide on *both* slots?
Thanks!
Janx

Run flashall.bat on the slot you are now in. Reboot to system
Back to bootloader. Switch slots through fastboot
fastboot --set-active=_b
fasboot reboot bootloader
Now you should be on the other slot
Flashall.bat
Reboot to system
Back to bootloader
fastboot boot twrp.img (latest)
In twrp put latest su or in my case magisk 14.2, twrp zip on device.
If you use su just flash it
If you use magisk. Flash magisk, flash twrp.zip and magisk again. With magisk twrp will stick.
Reboot and you are good to go.
If you want a kernel you have to flash twrp and magisk after again.

Thank you! I will be able to perform this sequence in a few hours and will report back. :good:

Ok. Will be in bed than. If you have any problems give me a PM and we can do it together via hangouts.

Update: I successfully flashed A & B, got to the step where I flash Magisk 14.2. It finished unmounting partitions, but when updating partition details fails, "failed to mount '/system' (device or resource busy)...done
It said successfully installed, so I flashed twrp to the boot image, flashed magisk again, and it is now rebooting endlessly. Wrong place to flash the twrp image I'm guessing?
EDIT: Just noticed your message, good night - thanks again. I'm working through it and will take you up on your kind offer should I not find success.
I did a 'flash-all.sh' on both A and B again, copying over my old phone, then will attempt to gain root by booting into TWRP 3.1.1, installing "SR3-SuperSU-v2.82-SR3-20170813133244", reboot bootloader, go into TWRP again and then install "UPDATE-suhide-v1.08-20170815171034"
EDIT #2: EDIT #2: Stable root achieved using newer versions of files "SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502" & after booting, applying "UPDATE-suhide-v1.09-20171001222116". So far it has survived several reboots, so I'm hoping it's all good now.
