“Bootloop” is a very familiar term for smartphone users whatever OS they use, but it is definitely more familiar to Android phone users. Android being an Open Source operating system, is open to third-party modifications. If you have a basic or advanced knowledge of Linux coding, you can develop a custom ROM or a modify a system file of your Android phone. Such openness has opened vistas for our great developers to cook ROMs, mods, and hacks. It has enriched our experience with our phones at one hand and posed a few problems like bootloop or a bricked phone in rare cases. By following the methods given below you can fix or recover bootloop on Android devices.
Most of the phone-freaks like me spend their days doing nothing but trying almost all custom ROMs and mods available out there to tell others what is good for them. In doing so we often face a bootloop but that is not to say that only the third-party ROMs and mods are responsible for the problem. In most cases, however, it is some incompatible file imposed from outside that hinders the system files to work normally, resulting in a bootloop.
Thus, bootloop is a situation where Android smartphones refuse to boot normally. There’s something wrong with the Android device, which is preventing it from completing the boot cycle and is stuck between the boot animation and the unlock screen. Bootloop is mainly caused when system files interfere with each other, causing instability, and crashes at the boot sequence.
While getting a bootloop on an Android phone is not a serious concern for an advanced user, it is surely enough to make a newbie or a noob tremble a little. Very often an average user begins to wonder if his phone is bricked or dead. In the present article, I shall try to share with you some solutions that might help you recover your Android device from a bootloop.
Precautions to Avoid and Prevent Data Loss:
Bootloop is definitely one of the most undesirable situations a smartphone user can get into. It is shocking enough to make a new or basic user believe that he/she has bricked the device. It is true that in most cases you can recover your device to a normal state but if you take precautionary steps, you could avoid it. Prevention is always better than a cure!
However, precautions cannot guarantee that your device is bootloop-proof. Therefore, it is also necessary that you always keep your phone’s data backed up. Remember, if your device gets into a bootloop, there are 90% chances that you will lose all your data, apps, settings and files stored on the internal SD of your device.
Things to be taken care of:
- Before installing any stock or custom ROM, do not forget to confirm that it is made for your device and, more importantly, the same model number.
- Before installing any custom Kernel, mod, patch or ROM, do not forget to backup your ROM
- Also backup your phone’s apps, games, contacts, messages or any important data to external storage- memory card, USB storage or your computer.
- Avoid installing apps from outside Play Store and only those that are compatible with your device.
- If your device is not rooted, you can use the official PC Suite from your device manufacturer.
Resources:
Read the following tutorials for backing up your Android device’s data backup, precautionary steps and troubleshoot.
Possible Reasons for a Bootloop on Android Device:
The reasons for getting a bootloop on your Android device might be anything. If you wish to know the reason why your Android phone is stuck on the bootloop, you need not type your problem on the Google search box. Just calm yourself for a while and think about what you did just before. It could be anything! Here are some major reasons why your Android device is caught in a bootloop.
- After installing an official or custom ROM
- Flashing a wrong ROM or Kernel
- Running an incompatible app or game
- Wrong Permissions fix for an app or file
- Installing a custom mod or theme
Most often we face a bootloop just after flashing a stock or custom ROM over an old one. This might be a major factor behind the bootloop issue on your device. Suppose you have flashed a new version of firmware over the old version. Your old data still remains on the device and the new firmware will use the Dalvik Cache from the old ROM that might not be compatible with the new system files and it will result in a bootloop. It mostly happens just when your device tries to reboot after you have flashed a stock or custom ROM. If this is the case, here is the solution.

Fixing Bootloop on Android Devices
Method 1:
If your device is on stock firmware, that also means it does not have a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP not installed on it, do the following steps:
- Pull out the battery of your phone, wait for about 30 seconds and reinsert it to its place.
- Boot your device into ASR (Android System Recovery) mode. The method involves a hardware key combination and varies from one phone to another. For Samsung phones, for example, the key combination is Volume Up+ Home + Power keys. The tablets which generally have no Home button, you can enter the Recovery mode by pressing and holding the Volume Up + Power keys simultaneously.
- In the Android System Recovery, scroll down to “wipe cache partition”. option using the volume rockers and select it using the power key.
- When you have wiped the data/factory, go back to the main menu and reboot the device by “reboot system now” option.
- If the device is still stuck on Bootanimation pull out the battery again and repeat the above steps. This time also “wipe data/factory reset” and then reboot the device
The bootloop problem should be fixed now.
Method 2:
If you have a rooted device with CWM Recovery installed and your phone is caught into a bootloop after flashing a custom ROM or mod, do as follows:
- Pull out the battery, reinsert it after 30 seconds and boot the device into CWM Recovery: Volume Up+ Home + Power keys simultaneously.
- Go to “Advanced”
- Choose “Wipe dalvik-cache”
- Now go to “Mounts & Storage”
- Choose “Wipe /cache”
- Reboot your phone
The bootloop should be gone now. If it still persists, do this.
- Boot the phone again into CWM Recovery
- Now go to “Mounts & Storage”
- Choose “Wipe /data”
- Choose “Wipe /cache”
- Then reboot your phone.
Now the phone should reboot normally. Next time when you install a ROM, follow the instructions prescribed by the developer. Be more attentive to the warnings before experimenting with any third party ROM or mod. Always ensure what you are about to install is meant for your device.
If the Above Methods Do Not Work
In case you are not able to get your device come out of bootloop, your final option should be to install or restore a previously backed up ROM by putting the device in recovery mode or to install the official firmware/factory image to your phone your tablet.
Might you have any Boot loop fixes for a LG Model LS991 ?
Hi Rakesh, something wrong with my android it says “E:failed to mount/efs (no such file cr directory) and all that syntax that comes out all red at stock recovery, dont know what happened even tried the steps above none of it works. what happened?
Hi Rakesh, I got to this page but still can’t solve my problem, let’s see if you can help me:
My phone is a HTC M9, unlocked, running stock ROM. I was using the phone and suddenly it restarted and kept restarting in a loop.
– I tried pressing Power + Volume Up and it enters on a screen showing me the options:
– Reboot, Reboot to Bootloader, Boot to Download mode, Boot to Recovery Mode, Power off.
I’ve tried all the options but it kept in a restart loop. When I try “Boot to recovery Mode” it jumps to a gray HTC logo and keeps in a boot loop.
I can’t get access to the wipe cache option since I can’t manage to enter Recovery mode.
I have now downloaded the adb but my pc doesn’t recognize the mobile, not even when I manage to stop the rebooting by entering on the screen with the options above mentioned.
Any hint?
Thanks a lot
You should try to find the RUU file for your M9 and try restoring the phone to stock. Wiping the phone’s data would have worked but you aren’t able to get into the recovery mode.
Thanks, but my phone is S-ON and I can’t get to S-OFF if I can’t get the token, to which I need to be on the Download mode…. so I’m stuck on a loop now…well two 🙂

The problem is I’m stuck in a bootloop and I can’t access anything, even the recovery menu fails to load and then I get the bootloop again.
I flashed twrp but I can’t get to it. Please help.
What things have you tried so far and which device are you using?
The thing I’m trying to fix doesnt even have a volume up button.
Which phone do you have?
It’s my nephew’s “netbook”, it’s basically a laptop that runs the Android Kitkat OS. you turn it on and it goes through it’s boot process and after that it gets to a black screen and occasionally says “Unfortunately, Google has stopped working” or something, over and over again.
There is a reset pinhole I’ve hit a few times too. But there’s no volume button, the home+power method doesnt work to get to the recovery screen, there’s no disc drive, and I can’t get to the recovery screen in order to load anything from usb.
Hello all, if anyone could give me some advice on how to get out of a force close bootloop, that’d be awesome, so what happened was I rooted a galaxy s4(verizon) and so far so good then I tried deleting some bloatware, NFL,Amazon, IMDB, etc… and right after I got the com.amazon.fv has stopped error, I rebooted it and now it will boot up but will heat up and the restart itself after trying to use it for a few minutes, I haven’t flashed any roms or anything crazy all I did was remove some bloatware…
rakesh please help me man
Hey!
I have installed the Droidwin 5.0 custom rom on my GT-18552.I have carefully followed the steps mentioned by the developer.I am having the CWM recovery,and when i select reboot,the process goes on.A four colour logo is seen.Should i hold on to it,or is it a bootloop?
Hello there!
I don’t have a flashing rom issue but i am getting desperate so hope it’s not a problem asking for assistance.
I am having a bootloop issue with my LG L70 d-320n. After a fall that badly damaged the touch screen, my phone is stuck in bootloop and i can’t get past the logo screen. I tried entering the factory menu by pressing the appropriate buttons but there is no response. The main problem is that as soon i insert the battery back to the device it starts automatically without pressing any buttons and then won’t stop bootlooping. I have also tried connecting the phone with the computer and i’ve seen some some sort of a response. Twice i got past the first logo screen but then it failed to continue and a few other times the device for a few seconds was recognised by the pc. I am not looking for a permanent solution to the problem, i just really want to turn on the device and save a quite big amount of pictures i have stored in the phone memory. My main issue is how to make the device stop from restarting automatically the moment i insert the battery. The same problem has happened to me in the past with the same device but i could always turn it off and then restart. I would be eternally grateful if you could assist me in any way to recover my pictures.
hi
I really need to fix my phone
so I deleted everything while trying to install a custom rom and instead of INSTALL ZIP , I clicked on reboot now option and now I am stuck with WARNING BOOTOADER UNLOCKED screen which is not responding at all
I tried the pressing volume and power button to get on to the initial recovery page , doesn’t work
I cannot connect to pc and pc wont recognise the device
I want to know if I can somehow fix this
Thanks.
Hi, sorry for the late reply! What’s the current status?
I got a A8 plus that was a gift from my aunt and used it normally, the download a app to check for trojan and says that have one, so I try to fix it and send me to download kingroot to remove the virus.
I did that and after that everything was fine, but then I was going to turn the phone and by mistake pressed reboot the phone had he been stuck in a boot loop for 3 days and can’t do anything to fix it.
I try the above methods that where available for the phone, but it doesn’t work is still stuck in the boot.
What can I do?
Reboot your phone into the recovery mode: turn in off, press and hold volume down + power keys at the same time until the device boots into the recovery mode,
Then perform a data factory reset.
I had done that after the screens that says no command and I have already deleted cache and user data 5 times.
In the my phone is the volume up+power key and the menu options that appear is in this order.
Reboot system now
apply update from adb
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
backup user data
restore user data
root integrity check
reboot to bootloader
power down
view recovery log
Select wipe/data factory reset option.
I did it just now, but I had done it multiple times before and nothing happened.
The phone returned to the rmenu list and close to the home key says.
Formatting /data…
Formatting /nvdata…
Formatting /cache…
Data wipe complete.
Then try installing the stock firmware or take it to the service center. Since I have never used a Karbonn phone, I can’t give you assistance with doing that.
Karbonn is that the real name of the phone?
How do I install the stock firmware?
Is the first time I deal with this kind of problem with a phone, since my previous phone never caused trouble for me.
Hello,
My problem doesn’t really have anything to do with flashing a ROM, at least, I think so.
A few minutes before my phone got stuck in a bootloop, every app would open, but would crash when I touched the screen.
My phone wasn’t working normally, so I decided to reboot it, and that’s how it got stuck in a bootloop. I’ve tried every step on here, but it’s still stuck.
Could you please help me?
Which phone and model do you have?
My problem has nothing to do with flashing a ROM. It just happened. To make matters worse, your instructions didn’t help at all.
Can you tell how did your phone got into the bootloop?
Hi folks. On some phones (<2GB) this can be a real problem as if you leave the camera on video mode it is possible to trigger a boot loop if the internal memory fills up! Unfortunately there is no way to recover the lost data if this happens, yet another reason to use backups/ext card.
Hya guys.
So, i downgraded my Galaxy On7 from Marshmallow to Lollipop due to region block (I’m from Brazil and the ROM is from India, so after the update my SIM card wasn’t recognized anymore)… The question is, is there any way to fix the boot loop WITHOUTH factory reset? I’ve done this a couple of times, and is kinda annoying to reinstall all apps and having my data lost..
Oh, btw, if there is some way to bypass the region block, that would help too.
Thanks.
Try installing the appropriate firmware on your phone. It might work. Otherwise, you’ll have to perform a hard reset.
The stock rom i’m using it’s the official Brazillian firmware.
What happened?
Hi evryone I hope you all is doing well .so I have Gelaxy grand prim SM-G530H

I am trying to download the original firmware of my Galaxy S5 to hopefully get it out of the bootloop, but I need to know the version so I can download the correct firmware. How do I find out the version of phone, if my phone is stuck in a bootloop? Please help if you can!
Hi, I rooted my phone more than a year back and it was working pretty until 3 days back, it went into the bootloop. I tried your Method 2 but I am not able to find the option of ‘Wipe/cache’ under ‘Mounts and Storage’. Hence I didn’t do this step and rebooted my phone. Now, not only is my phone stuck in bootloop but I cannot enter the recovery mode as well.
Please Help!
These instructions are great…..except “If the Above Methods Do Not Work……” Reinstall a previous ROM by “….putting the device in recovery mode…..” Well, if your device would get into recovery mode by method 1 or 2 above then the bootloop would stop!! This is the issue. Nothing is working right now! My device will not get into ASR and it’s never had a custom ROM so option 2 does not apply. Too bad this was not helpful.
u cant even go to recovery mode?
No. Nothing I’ve tried is working. The phone just goes back to boot looping. 🙁
USE NEW OD
OD?? bro my phone stuck in boot loop and i never installed any custom rom if i flash official firmware would it fic??
Can you advise where I find this? Are there instructions on how to use? I flashed CM firmware to a HTC Hero a long time ago, but I think I had to put it in recovery first. Thanks again.
Okay. I think by OD you might mean Odin. If so, I have found that, but, you need the firmware/ROM/bootloader files which I cannot find. Any source for those? Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I accidentally Uninstalled Mediatek App file from my phone as my AntiVirus was showning it as malware and my phone was affected with slow charging and battery being drained all the time , now it is stuck on lenovo logo , do you know where i can get a rom for this?
Hi, my phone is Samsung SM-G530H/DS. I installed TWRP from google play. I don’t remember exactly what I did but my phone restarted. As I waited for it to boot normally, nothing happened. Now when I switch it on, it only vibrates and a blue screen blinks. The process continues not unless I remove the battery. How now can I resolve this?. The normal key combinations vol +, + power, + home don’t work in any way.
hi, sir… my kyocera hydro elite keeps reebooting eventhough its does not finish reboot. what can i do?
Thanks – you got me out of the boot loop on my GT5282.
Hey, Mr.Rakesh
My Samsung Model is GT-N8000, i’m using ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.6
I’m trying the second method. But i have a question.
When i got to the Mounts & Storage, it doesn’t show up the wipe /cache or wipe /data. Can you please give me a solution? Thank you so much.
I have the same problem. I rebooted it anyway without wiping and now the phone is stuck in bootloop and it is not entering the recovery mode also. Were you able to get out of the bootloop?
Hi, my Lenovo K910L (unremovable battery) can’t enter recovery, how to fix this, can i use external software?
Hello Rakesh,
This is very good Solutions you have posted. I’ve been Googling for almost 3 days and this are far more best solutions.
I was using OMEGA V24 rom flawlessly. and one day I saw another omega rom on AOKP based. so as I was so happy with stock based rom i Went to try it but in horror it turns out with log of bugs. so I return for my orignal Stock based omega rom. but now boooot loooop always.. things i searched on net and done but no use
-wiped partition catch
-wiped dalvik catch
-wipe catch from mount option
-wipe data from mount option
-fixing permission
these was not done at all at once. just one by one.
even installed stock rom and rooted it.
even installed OMNI Rom. both was working fine.
as read somewhere installed philz touch recovery for omega compatibility.
installed cwm latest recovery. as i read somewhere wait for atlease 5-10 mins cuz it might take time for first boot. so I am waiting even 15-20 mins. after doing this options but still there… I hope you give me something new to fix this
had also this bootloop issue on my Galaxy S3 mini. Tried all what was
recommended on this and other pages but did not solve the issue. Now I
can share my own solution that worked out. You should consider if the
battery is bad. In my case I supplied the phone by battery plus external
lab power supply and surprisingly, the crash did not happen any more.
After a trial period, I renewed the battery and the issue disappeared.
Possible explanation: If the battery is bad, the supply voltage might
reach a critical value that prevents the application processor from
successfully boot. This AP requires for boot higher current consumption
and lower the voltage. You end up in a possible bootloop.
Hope this helps and fix also some phones that still see this issue

Find the method to get into the stock recovery mode and wipe data factory reset.
I have almost 40 years with computers (yes – I am old) but it is bigger IBM stuff. Know very little about Android. I have a rooted Nexus 7 2nd Gen that I was going to update with the Nexus Root Toolkit (a great tool by the way.) As always, 1st you backup and I do it twice with the ADB in the toolkit and with Titanium Backup. In a rush, I grabbed my Nexus from the coffee table, attached it and started the backup as we left to eat. Then on return, I wanted to copy over the Titanium Backup to my PC – but it was not there. Tried several things but nothing worked. So I rebooted out of developer tools USB mode to see what was happening – and was bricked. Could not figure out what happened – until my wife went looking for my old Nexus 7 1st gen that she had laid on the coffee table. You guessed it – I had picked up the wrong Nexus and somehow downloaded a 2nd Gen ROM to a 1st Gen. Worked with it for several days and nothing seemed to help – and I guess mostly since I was not in the proper USB mode. I could get to the default recovery screen and that was it. Nothing would load. Finally, just trying anything, I had the Tools load TWRP customer recovery – and suddenly I had some life and TWRP. Using TWRP (blindly I may add since I had never used it before), I wiped the cache, ROM, factory reset, etc. Then with fingers crossed, reloaded factory ROM and – Igor said “it’s alive master, its alive”. Took a few days to put it all the apps back together but I had my old Nexus back. Lesson here is if all else fails, try installing TWRP or maybe Clockwork Mod and see if that gives you a window into recovery. Once you recover, you can delete the custom recovery.
what if my phone doesnt have a recovery option ? i have a samsung galaxy s4 m919n i need help to unbrick it … i get the firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies & try again message on my screen ??? HELP MEEE 🙁

hey it’s no working in my “motorola droid x mb810″…i’ve done all of the methods but still i am encountering bootloop in my phone…what will i do now? I accidentally deleted some system apps so when i reboot my phone, the bootloop happens…i don’t know what to do now..I can’t also connect my phone to my laptop… help me with this problem…Thanks in advance.. 🙂
Since you have removed some essential system apps, you should try to restore your phone to stock.
Download a flashable rom of your android having a scatter file . open up the flash tool , load the scatter file and just select boot.img . Remove the battery from your mobile ,Click the download button on flash tool
and connect the phone with usb (make sure u have correctly installed drivers for your phone), hold the vol down button until the flash is complete . It mostly take 1 to 2 minutes max . Hope it helps
You were probably talking about a MediaTek device. I have Note 4 910F so this method will probably not work.
Which device do you have?
“Note 4 910F” as mentioned.
Okay. I was confused because you downloaded SP Flash tools.
Anyway, how did it get into the bootloop?
no luck bro ! i m facing boot loop after going into recovery mode . can’t get into recovery .
Hi Syed, how did you solve this problem?
Yes i did ! the process was easy btw .
Thanks man. This worked like a charm for me on my Asus fonepad. I actually saw the erase data option but was not sure if I should do that. I lost all my data but that was because I was stupid enough not to back up on google.
that doesnt work. i cant get the computer to see it without it being booted, so even restoring a rom ISNT possible
factory reset fails. all it does is first attempt, boot tone halts phone freezes. reset battery, it will do one boot loop then back to load song cutting out and freezing.
i never rooted it or messed with the rom. this phone is just apparently and asshole.

Galaxy S5 Sport, it keeps booting in CWM Recovery, and it shows the text, Recovery Booting…. Recovery is not seandroid enforcing Set Warranty Bit : Recovery, then the normal bootup sequence, it says for about 6-7 seconds then goes black, only to repeat the process. removing the battery and waiting did nothing,as when i booted it back up it still went back into the same sequence. this was shortly after using Odin and CF-Auto root and rooting it, without USB Debugger on.
Same problem to me, my s4 mini, IF YOU KNOW HOW TO FIX PLEASE WRITE ME!!!! Mvyc313@gmail.com

Power off the device. Press Volume Up, Home and Power buttons altogether until the phone lightens up, when it does, release the power key and keep pressing the other two. Your device will then enter stock recovery mode. Use volume keys to highlight “wipe cache partition” and select it using the power key. Once the partition is wiped, select “reboot system now”. Now, if that doesn’t work, you will have to wipe data partition. That is all your luck for now.
hy! i just made a factory reset and when it started to boot, it’s an android and a loading screen and that’s all. i can’t enter into cwm recovery. pls help!

hi !! i have Samsung Galaxy Note 2 from T-Mobile SGH-T889. I was deleting the junk thru DU Cleaner app & deleted some non using apps to clear some space on my phone. After the deletion, i found that few of the pics folders in my Gallery Folders were cleared off like whatsapp & Edited Pics etc. Little later the phone went on reboot & then stuck on T-mobile logo. It rebooted again after a while.At times after removing battery the Home screen opens but just for about 3-4 secs & then again the phone goes to reboot. Though the screen is stuck bu tthe phone alarms the low battery tone too. Trying to connect it to Kies but not happening. I have cleared Cache thru recovery mode but it hasn’t helped too. Please help !!

i took out the baterry waited for 2 min then reinserted it bt it did not work.. i did face the same problem again and again..
what should i do now…??
help me brother…
Well, I am not a Sony specialist but there is a flash tool that you can use to install the official firmware back on the phone.
My one month old stock Google nexus 5 with 4.4.4 went into bootloop after using google maps navigation. The last app installed was over 24 hours ago called Mr. numbers. Never rooted phone or downloaded from outside play store. Any guess as to why it happened?
p.s. – kept rebooting so fast that I can’t boot into recovery mode.
Something must have messed up with system files. If your device is still caught in bootloop, try flashing the official boot.img file using the guide here: https://www.droidviews.com/how-to-restoreunroot-nexus-5-by-flashing-factory-images/
If it still refuses to boot up, flash all factory images.
Thanks, I have never done that before. But, since my phone is so new, Google was able to send me a new one. I just wanted find the cause so that I can avoid going through it all over again.
That solution is something that I will definitely try if I run into it again, but lets hope we don’t

how to do at samsung galaxy tab 3 7.0
thanxxxxx!!! it WoRKs
Hello Rakesh, I am from Dallas and currently traveling in Mexico and my AT&T samsung galaxy Mega SGH-I527 started to download and update to the firmware as soon as I joined a Wifi Spot, then after that is stuck into bootloop – it does not get passed after the Samsung Galaxy Mega screen. I have tried Odin to remove the soft-brick with the Pit and PDA file but still the same.
Hi Friend, I have a tablet touchmate TM-MID 850(Android 4.0). Its having a problem that a message showing “unfortunately, skype has stopped” flashes after booting. If we press OK, then again it comes like in a infinite loop. Nothing is possible like to go menu or settings. I can just unlock the screen.. then the same message box is coming for other apps too…. again infinitely.
I tried to get into the recovery mode. For that I pressed and hold the vol down button and then the power button hold for 5 seconds(got from another forum), when the logo appears, released the power button, then it shows the recovery mode emblem but it freezes there…. not getting any menu or message. I tried different key combinations here, but no use… after sometime (about 2 min) it automatically reboots into normal mode and same infinite loop…. Please help me….
Hi I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500 Intl. Version (rooted). I had installed CM!! 20th June Nightly and everything was working fine for the past 3 days. Android 4.4.4.

encountered same problem in same phone. what development in your case Bro. Pl inform.
Install the official firmware. It’ll be fixed!
prakirt@gmail.com is my e mail. Thanks. Pramod
Rakesh, I’ve tried your instructions…this happened after following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585440 in order to root my i717D….my other option would be to reset the firmware but there are 2 different ones, 4.0.4 and and 4.1.2 http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares… i heard flashing the wrong firmware can brick the phone…..please help
Well , I have a Galaxy s advance mobile…… the problem i faced is that…..I have a root on my mobile and after then i installed several root apps….. one of the app named “Font Installer Root” buLL $hit app…what it does is ..when you run it and choose a particular font for your mobile and then it will ask you for the root access then what will happen…is it will install the font package and after then asks for reboot…the reboot will be instant..and after then what will happen is “SAMSUNG” logo will shining on your mobile and your mobile status will not progress and due to this BOOT LOOP problem has happened to me…..
After this problem…..
what i done is …i searched on internet and there are lots of procedures to unbrick it…
1. to go to the bios settings of your android…. by simply Volume up+Power+home button…. I know due to boot loop once the samsung logo comes then its over ….but while samsung logo you can continuously press these three buttons…. till the bios settings won’t come…. now after then as i don’t have any cwm recovery or something so i wipe out the Cache and then did a factory reset….
but the problem is it still not worked and still trapped in the loop….
Now i am fed up and don’t know what to do…
2. the next step what i take is to flash the mobile by the official firmware as you can’t use kies to update it as kies won’t recognize it….
so what i did is just download my country jelly bean official update from samsung website around 425 mb….
after then downloaded latest ODIN version
plug in the mobile to the pc….
now you have go to the bios settings again but this time different one…. volume down key+power +home button …basically this area belongs to custom firmware installation of android so it will ask you handle with care or something bull shit and then just follow the instruction on the screen…
now i start the flashing process and after 3 minutes….the flashing done and mobile got restarted and boom phone started! i just can’t believe that it actually work as i just lose hope on this mobile and thinking of taking it to samsung repair centre but glad it worked….
So, conclusion is…First do factory reset and wipe cache if it works then good…otherwise just flash it with compatible firmware…..enjoy….

The HOTFILE site has been shut down, permanently it says.
Look, I do not that much time to reply to a single person on the same issue: http://terafile.co/774e8b465798
I’ve printed the instructions. You want me to downgrade the Firmware or to use the Firmware link you gave me this morning?
You seem to ne new to such things. The instruction can be used to install the firmware too. Anyway, use this guide: https://www.droidviews.com/install-android-4-2-2-jelly-bean-leaked-firmware-on-galaxy-grand-duos-gt-i9082/
Rakesh. I am very new to this. I just printed what you sent me and it looks that this will upgrade the firmware to 4.2.2? So I can disregard the previous instructions and just use this? Correct?
Yes.
Some call it the Samsung Grand. It slots for two sim cards.
Download the firmware from below and install the firmware using this guide: https://www.droidviews.com/how-to-downgrade-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-devices/
Pull out the battery, then put it back after a few seconds, then boot the phone in Download Mode and install the firmware. It will be normal.
Smartphone: Samsung Duos model: GT-I9082
If I download the firmware to my laptop is there a way then to put it on the phone?
Which device do you have?
I have the Samsung Duos (Grand) model: GT-I9082
OK> How can I install the firmware when the phone won’t remain stable? Even this morning it still continues to reboot.
Rakesh: I followed your recovery method and I am still in a bootloop. My final step was wipe data/factory reset because the first 2 tries had no effect. I have a Samsung Duos model: GT-I9082. I don’t have a previously back-up ROM. What should I do at this point?
Download and install this firmware: http://terafile.co/774e8b465798
I cant do the recovery method because when i try to put it in recovery mode its justs freezes at the samsung logo. so i cant wipe the data/ cache partition. Any Help ASAP

SAME PROBLEM WITH MINE S DUOS. PLEASE HELP ANYONE
I have the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos GT-I9082. I do not know the reason for the bootloop, but I am sure it is not because of ROM, as I have not installed any. The only cause I can think of is it has no more space available. When I plug it in to my PC, it shows as a portable device and has 0 space available.
I was about to try to use data recovery tools but the phone cannot be detected, probably because it is being detected as a portable device and has no drive letters assigned to it. I tried looking for ways to assign a drive letter to a portable device, but did not find any. I guess it is not really possible.
I tried “wipe cache partition” on method 1 above. It showed “Erasing” progress bars for about 2-3 seconds then it showed “Error!” and the phone rebooted and still in a bootloop.
I am about to try to do “wipe data/factory reset” but I would like to know if there is still really a chance to recover the data since you mentioned that there is only 90% chance that the data will be lost. I also read somewhere that android data recovery can recover data that were deleted due to factory reset, as long as no new data has been overwritten onto it. Somehow, I am relying on that 10% chance of recovering the data.
Is there anything else that I can do to recover the data before going for the risky factory reset and android data recovery? I read that I may install Odin, as it does not require that debugging is enabled, but my phone has no free space to install it. Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.
If you flash the official firmware using Odin, there is 60% chance that it will fix the boot loop and your data will be saved.

please give me step by step instruction
Go to fastboot mode, enter recovery mode and restore the backup: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/fastboot-buttons
entered fastboot mode but how to enter recovery mode and restore cwm backup please help ……..
Fastboot should have an option to enter recovery.
entering fastboot mode is like connecting to pc via usb by pressing vol. up button right……..after doing this a blue colour from led appears and pc will show s1boot fastboot is connected…..nothing else ….please help..
I am really a newbie and I have a lot of questions about the instructions on the link you provided. Here are some of them:
1. The download links for firmwares for different countries; does it pertain to the country where the phone was assembled or the country where I got the phone?
I assumed it was where I got the phone. My country is not listed so I went to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/, entered Model and Product code. It has been displaying “Loading. Please wait…” for more than 30mins now.
If the country pertains to where the phone was assembled, how do I know it? I tried to look it up on the box and the labels but I cannot seem to find it.
Any other link where I can download the firmware?
2. The link you provided gives instructions to update the phone to Android 4.1.2; will it not delete the data in the phone if I do that?
3. Will it not need internal memory spaces to run Odin and update the phone? Remember I have no spaces available anymore.
My phone can open in download mode, so I think that is a good sign. I would like to thank you for the help that you have provided so far.
I followed the instructions on the link that you provided but it did not fix the bootloop. I have resorted to wipe data/factory reset. Data recovery tools that I have found in the internet requires that the phone connects to usb as mass storage to be recognized. The problem now is that it seems like there is no way for Jelly Bean phones to connect as mass storage.
I think there’s no more way to recover my data. Do you have any other suggestions?
I have installed rom manager and come in recovery mode with Cwm it can’t come back in normal system with my device Samsung galaxy core duos
More details required!
I am also a Galaxy Grand Duos user and my phone is stuck in the start-up screen. I am trying to update my phone and I fully unrooted it so that i can apply an OTA update. Unfortunately, unrooting it does not mean that you can already update it through ota. Now, what I did was wipe cache and for some reason without reading clearly CLICKED the CLEAN TO INSTALL A NEW ROM under the CWM Recovery. When I rebooted the phone, it is now stuck on the start-up screen where it says the model number of my device. I am an advance user with sufficient knowledge in rooting several devices and modding almost everything that android has to offer but this is the first time i encountered this problem. Can someone give me an idea? Should i flash the firmware back or do i need to do something, some kind of a little tweak so that my device will get past booting? I have no worries about my data and applications because it was always backed up by google. Thanks to their auto back-up feature.
please help….i was installing a rom ,in between my phone power went of due to low battery……now when i switch on my phone it just stop at the logo….i’m using a sony lww ….i have a full nandroid backup…..please help me to recover my phone ….my phone is rooted …and has cwm…please help…
I need help. Im a newbie That was trying to explore different Roms only I got stuck in paranoid android boot. I can’t get into recovery but I could get into Odin mode/downloading do not turn off target. Is there any way I can get Into recovery or repair my phone?
My phone by the way is a toroplus galaxy nexus. Please I need my phone.
Which device do you have?
Toroplus galaxy nexus my volume up button doesn’t work 95% of the time so I can’t boot into recovery.
Okay, you will not need to use the hard keys to reboot into recovery. Download the factory image from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mysidspr
And install it using any of the following guides (whichever seems easier to you):
https://www.droidviews.com/how-to-restoreunroot-nexus-5-by-flashing-factory-images/
https://www.droidviews.com/how-to-flash-jellybean-4-3-factory-image-jwr66v-on-nexus-4107-galaxy-nexus/
Does USB debugging have to be on?
Yes.
I won’t be able to do any of these steps then because I was flashing a different ROM and i doubt USB debugging was on. So this means I won’t be able to fix my phone. Does it?
Well, it could still work. Give it a try before surrendering. You have nothing to lose.
The thing is I can’t enable USB debugging and i cant do nothing but go to odin mode or get stuck at Paranoid android 3+ boot. Does that mean I’m out of luck?
If you have a custom recovery installed and have a backup of rom or the rom file itself on sd, you can restore/install it.
Else you can flash the factory image.
I was finally able to recover my phone. I had to open the phone up and fixed the vol up button temporarily. I was finally able to boot into recovery and restore my backup successfully though I would like to thank you for trying to help me with this issue. Now I know that if I’m to get into similar issues I know where to ask.
Glad to know your problem was solved. You’re always welcome to Do, but who likes a bored guest, LOL. Next time, come as jolly guest. 🙂

Use the link I gave you earlier and restore your device.
the problem is thta i need to know my build version but dont know it
I couldn’t even mount the EFS partition in CWM mode.
Hi Rakesh,
I have rooted Samsung GT N7000, baseversion is N7000DDLSC on following methods
Downloaded and copied PhilZ-cwm6-DDLSC-ODD-4.93.6-signed.zip on external SD and installed. Followed your method to install the Kit Kat Rom CM11, unfortunately it couldn’t work it seems it require CWM 6.0.4.3 and later.
1) Mobile restarted, but was not booting. Restored Nandroid backup, it worked but end up with hanging. Tried to restore multiple times the result was same. Done all the mentioned method above like wipe/mount/factory reset, etc. couldn’t helped me
2) Installed Stock JB Rom (from sammobile) N7000DDLSC and flashed with Odin 3.09. Done all the method mentioned above Wipe the cache, etc. still not booting. Got the error “E: failed to mount / efs (invalid argument)” in CMW mode
3) Installed Stock JB Rom (from sammobile) N7000DDLSC and flashed with Odin 3.09 along with PIT file, no changes
4) Installed CWM + root (PhilZ-cwm6-DDLSC-ODD-4.93.6-signed.zip) and installed few files from EFS folder, got “signature verification error”, but this time EFS error vanished, but still not booting
5) Installed CM 10.1 and 11 also, both are showing CM booting logo, but not loading the OS
6) In short, I’m able to install the firmware from ODIN and CWM, but none of them booting. Now I’m getting Samsung logo it keeps restarting with Stock JB 4.1.2.
No idea how to restore EFS from CWM, my adb is not detecting the phone (adb shell).. showing “error: closed”. I have all the EFS backup files from multiple tools including adb. Please help me to fix this issue.
Install the official firmware: https://www.droidviews.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-receives-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-firmware-update/
Root the device and restore the backed up EFS: https://www.droidviews.com/how-to-backup-and-restore-efs-data-imei-on-samsung-galaxy-devices-did-you-do-it/
The given link is for “S2 GT-I9100”, but I’m using N7000. I have installed official firmware from sammobile “N7000DDLSC_N7000ODDLSC_INU” as mentioned above (step – 2), but not booting (showing samsung logo). Each time if I flash through ODIN – I can see the error messages in recovery mode “E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument). This message doesn’t show in CWM.
Since the device is not booting I tried to restore EFS through adb, the command I tried is “dd if=/EXT_SD/efs.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 bs=4096” where EXT_SD is the external sd card name.
Trying to download stock GB, but all the sources given to hotfile server which is not accessible now.
It’s almost 4 days I’m figuring out a solution for this. Appreciate your support and help, thanks.
Corrupt EFS partition cannot stop the device from booting. After installing the firmware, did you try to wipe data factory reset?
– Finally I have solved the boot loop issue after flashing stock GB.
– No IMEI, soved restoring EFS.
Not sure, why ODIN flash removes my EFS partition.
Anyway thanks a lot for your support…. 🙂
Hi, I have a iball slide Q9703 tablet and lately its stuck on the initial iball logo. How do I go to the rescue mode to restore it to factory defaults? The model has only power and home button( no button for volume). Please help..!!

thank you. it worked
You’re welcome! 🙂
scorpion1423 Well, as I told you I have never used an Acer device, so I am not sure about that. Just google the way to install system image on your device and you should find it.
so do i put it on an sd card and install it that way or what?
thank you, its downloading right now
scorpion1423 In such a case the above method would not work at all. You should try restoring the official system image. I am not much familiar with Acer devices but can give you a link to the system image file:

I was trying to root my Acer Iconia B1-710 and it finished rooting but its caught in a boot loop. But when i try to factory restore it says that it works but i try to boot it up and its still in the bootloop… PLEASE HELP
sahir It might have been caused by some third-party application. If the above steps do not help, reinstall the offificla firmware manually. Here is a guide for you: https://www.droidviews.com/how-to-install-latest-official-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-s4-all-models/

My husband is having this exact issue with his Event…. Does anyone out there have a new suggestion other than factory resetting and cleaning the system cache? I am willing to try anything at this point…..
I have a azpen a700 that is rooted and the reason its bootlooping is because of a custom boot animation that i installed that was not the right resolution and now its stuck. I feel like if i could disable the animation then it would work. I tried method 1 but that did not work.
I have a Kyocera EVENT C5133 that’s stuck on EVENT by Kyocera screen… Tried factory reset AND wiping cache, & still nothing… Any way for me to fix this myself??
okay so i have a prestigio pap 4500 duo
it’s stuck in bootloop shows the phone’s name and turns off doesn’t matter what i press or hold or whatever it isn’t going anywhere if i connect it to my pc it starts to install the driver than stops or something like that, the connection lasts 5-20 seconds and brakes, any ideas?
Can you please help me!!, I tried installing a rom from my sd card and after i proformed all of the wipes it said error unable to mount sd card. I know I probably wasn’t supposed to do this but I turned off my phone and took out the sd card and plugged the sd card into my computer to see if their was something wrong with it. I didn’t see anything so I put it back in my phone and booted into recovery mode. I tried to reboot my phone and it now says that I am missing root access. Oh and I have a Samsung galaxy s3 t-mobile. Please help me!!
Also I can not restore from a backup because it still keeps saying unable to mount sd card and my backups are on my sd card. Please help me I don’t know what to do!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Rhyne, if you only have problem with mounting the SD, go to mounts and storage option in CWM and choose “mount sdcard” option.
Since you say you phone has lost root access, I think you will not be able to install or restore the ROM. To regain root, download the latest SuperSU from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Copy the zip to your phone and flash it using “install zip from sdcard” option. If this does not help you, the easiest way to recover the device will be to install the official firmware back. You can use this guide to do that: https://www.droidviews.com/how-to-downgrade-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-devices/
When i try to mount the sd card in cwm it still says error cannot mount sd card. I will try regaining root. If that doesn’t get me out to the boot loop then i will try installing the official firmware back. Will all of my data on my sd card be deleted?
My computer will not recognize my phone And to use my sd card my computer says I need to format the sd card
Which phone do you have?
Galaxy s3 sgh t999 t-mobile
Copy this file to sd card: http://d-h.st/oOE
and flash it in TWRP. It’s PhilZ CWM recovery.
I dont have TWRP I have CWM will it still work?
Yes, it’ll.
Ok I got philz cwm, it still says that i dont have root access even when I flashed the supersu. Sorry for the trouble. I got my sd card to work though.
I suggested Philz recovery just to solve the sd mount problem. I didn’t had any idea it’ll take away the root. Did you flash the latest SuperSu zip?
It did fix the sd card mount problem. I flashed the latest Supersu and nothing seemed to happen. when I try and reboot it after it is done installing it is still stuck on the Samsung logo.
It did fix the sd card mount problem. I flashed the latest Supersu and it didn’t seem to do anything, when I tryed to reboot my phone it was still stuck on the Samsung logo.In philz recovery their is an option that says re-root system (SuperSU). I clicked that and itsays done! Now, install SuperSU from market. Would I be able to flash a rom so I can download SuperSU? It still says Root access is missing, Root device? when I try and reboot my phone. Since I installed the SuperSU then I Should be able to flash a rom, am I correct?
Yes, you can do that but ROM will install only if the device has root access. If installed, you can recover the bootloop, else you will have to install the official firmware back.
Try an AOSP based ROM from here: https://www.droidviews.com/best-custom-roms-for-t-mobile-samsung-galaxy-s3-sgh-t999/
Ok thanks, I have used PAC-MAN rom before and I like it so I will use that one. Hope it works!
It worked! I have root, the bootloop is gone and my sd card works! Thanks for your time and all of your help!
Nice! You’re always welcome. 🙂
i want to try the suggestions above but my phone is going in a bootloop and when it goes into download mode it restarts before i even get to press the volume up button 🙁 please help gti9500
I tried all the above methods but none of them worked for me.
I have a galaxy grand and I even flashed a zip file using cwm but that was of no use.
Its stuck at the Samsung GT-19082 logo. Please help me
Help, i can’t navigate the recovery mode (i can enter) it’s a aikun at75c
No idea about Aikun AT75C but the way to navigate in Android recovery is either the volume and power keys, or touch input.
it doesn’t have volume keys only the power, escape and menu the touch input doesn’t work. in fact the recovery looks a lot diferent than the pictures
Can you show me the screen?
This is what i get when i press power+esc buttons
Hey, this is service menu. What hardware buttons your device has. Try volume up/down+power button combo.
oh sorry, my tablet only has the menu, esc and power buttons. Also i tried to enter using adb but it doesn’t works.
I can’t even get into the Recovery mode. When I try the combination Volume Up + Menu button + Power button, or just by starting it normally, it gets to the Samsung Galaxy S3 logo, then shuts down. Actually managed to get into Recovery screen once, but shut off around 3 seconds after I got in. Hasn’t happened since.
If you can help me with this, then wow.
Your phone’s bootloader has been corrupted. Can you tell me how it went to bootloop?
No idea man. Noticed it would randomly be turned off, so I would open it and everything was fine, figured maybe I had just turned it off by accident. This starting happening maybe 2 weeks before the phone went dead. Then last Wednesday, I had it in my pocket, when all of a sudden, it couldn’t get past the Samsung Galaxy S3 logo.
I know it’s not the battery, seeing as how I tried another battery. The screen is not damaged whatsoever. How would one go about fixing the bootloader?
What is your phone model?
SGH-1747M
Your carrier? Bell, Rogers, Telus or ..?
Telus.
Been 14 months so no longer on their warranty. Just tried going into Download mode. Stayed there for 5 seconds and it shut down again.
You mean you are unable to boot device into Download Mode, or are you having issues with just the recovery mode only? If you can boot into Download mode, you can try installing new firmware.
Everything.
When I try turning it on manually, it gets to the Samsung Galaxy S3 logo, and shuts off.
If I try getting into Recovery mode, it shuts off (been able to get in 2 times out of 60+ tries, and still shuts off after a couple seconds).
When I try getting into Download mode, it gets there, then shuts off in a couple seconds.
Hmm. You device is bricked and it’s is a serious issue that can be fixed only with a Jig Box. Try to find a repair shop where they have a Jig Box.
I do have this tool but you know it can’t work remotely. 🙁
Alright, well thanks for your time! Much appreciated.
No problem. I wish I could help you with this.

Help!! I rooted my Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 using Chainfires root. I lost my wi-fi and bluetooth. So I flashed it to JDQ39.I9505xxUBMG4. I could then connect to my bluetooth, but still no Wi-Fi. So I tried to flash it again with another file ( Icant remember) now my phone is stuck at bootloop. Im very new to all this and just want to get my phone working back to factory state 🙁 PLEASE can anyone give me instructions as what to do!??
Did you try method 1?
Hi I removed the battery and waited for more than 30s and tried to go to the recovery mode. I am not able to go to recovery mode as it stuck in the opening page itself. Please help. Many thanks in advance.
Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 bought in Switzerland and I have tried to upgrade my 4.2.2 to the 4.3 jelly bean OS. 1st time I made a mistake and stopped the firmware in the middle, it couldn’t find some E: files (it have been more of them), but I fixed that in CWM by clearing all data and installing the firmware again. This time it worked, but after 2 days my phone stopped working and sometimes while booting the display freezes with the logo and the whole display is lighting up. After that It doesn’t react to my tries with hard buttons. Please help
Heureka… It just happened to work again, but not through the repair process yet
My Hisense E98 experienced bootloop, no stock recovery, CWM, TWRP or how to enter fastboot mode. Is there any way I can access system files in a state of bootloop? I previously tried to edit media_profiles.xlm and I also had backup it, I want to put the backup back so that my phone back to normal, please help
Hi, I never heard about your device model. You can access system files only if you have root and a custom recovery. If you can access recovery mode on your device, wiping data factory reset might help.

I think you should read that article to ind your answers. All necessary resources have been provided on the page itself.
hi..my rooted galaxy mini 2 stuck at cwm based recovery after i accidentally update through wifi connection..
what should i do?
Did you update firmware of your rooted device? If yes try installing new firmware: https://www.droidviews.com/how-to-downgrade-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-devices/
TQ very much. i can use my phone now.
really appreciate…..TQ
I tried both those methods with my samsung galaxy ace gt-s5830i and neither of them worked, my phone’s still in a boot loop, I even tried using odin which worked before but didn’t work this time, I haven’t tried to install any custom rom, I only turned my phone off because every app I tried to open crashed, then it wouldn’t turn off so I took the battery out, started it up again and it was in a boot loop. What the hell do I do?
Install official firmware. For instruction article, browse here: https://www.droidviews.com/tag/galaxy-ace-gt-s5830/
I have an s3 mini (GT-i8190) stuck in bootloop. Other than that I can ONLY get it into download mode, but odin doesnt even pick it up. it there anyway to resolve this and get either the stock or custom ROM working?
Which country are you from?
I am in the USA.
So, it is not locked to a carrier. I mean are you sure it is the international version of S3 Mibi that you have? I am asking because you have mentioned the model number above!
My unrooted s4 phone gets stuck with the blue colour legend Recovery booting. I am unable to enter safe mode, any ideas? been surfing google for 6hrs with no proper answer. Thanks!!
What happens when you try the Volume up+volume up+power key combo? I think you are not doing the key pressing properly.
I cannot enter recovery mode, gets stuck on blue font, i saw that link before, no go…
Hey look, sometimes getting into stock recovery take several attempts. I am a self-proclaimed expert with Galaxy device and perform such tasks almost every day but sometimes I have to try 2-3 times before I successfully enter recovery mode.
I would still suggest you to try again. Follow the step 10 given here: https://www.droidviews.com/how-to-downgrade-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-devices/
Try a couple of times and if it still doesn’t work, install new firmware: http://droidviews.com/2013/how-to-unbrick-your-bricked-samsung-galaxy-s4-gt-i9500-gt-i9505/
All right, i will try again th eodin mode with PIT file cause as i explained on first post, will try with my carriers rom, omega rom and clean s4 official rom, i cant access recovery mode, it has been 4 days now… Thanks al, will keep u posted

What is the model number of your S4? Is it AT&T version?
i337 LTE, telcel MExico, i actually tried also with the latest rom of the carrier, still same issue on day 7
I guessed it right. Now see in Settings> More> About, if your firmware version reads like this UCUAMF3.
as i said in the beginning, the device does not boot
Show me the firmware name with version you tried to install.
What is the model number of your S4, is it AT&T version?
I have an Optimus g and I tried the method above and didn’t work and I can’t install or flash any roms if any one can help me fix my phone
A little more detail required.
I have an Samsung s3 i747. I installed siyah and I am Stuck. I dont know if this is a boot loop or if it is a brick. I cannot go into recovery or download mode. Please Help.
Did the kernel that you install was meant for AT&T S3 I747?

My brand new phone was always restarting after I charged it… I’m not sure what happened so I tried the factory reset via android setting but didn’t work (I did this multiple times and its frustrating). Then found this article and tried method 1 but skipped step 3… After wiping, it showed me an error related to mounting… I’m positive it has something to do with the SD card, so I shutdown the mobile, removed the battery, removed the sd card, and have the phone cool down. After a min I turned it on again and VIOLA… it’s working again. Thanks for the fix!!!
Glad to know it helped. 🙂
hi my galaxy tab is rooted but i didnt installed cwm on it and now it is stuck in samsung galaxy tab 2 logo… it happened because i installed chainfire 3d on it.. help every one.. its only 4 months old .. i have galaxy tab 2 gt p3100
Sorry for late reply, the site was down for maintenance. Press and hold volume up+power buttons to get into recovery mode and follow Method 1.
Hey!
I have a brand new Galaxy S3 mini (I8190) which is stuck in bootloop 🙁
I try to boot it in Recovery Mode (Volume Up+ Home + Power keys) but it doesn’t work and the loop goes on and on… I am not able to access Android System Recovery. The Download Mode works fine. Is it possible to restaure it from download mode? What else can I do to access the Recovery Mode?
Thank you!!
Can you tell how it got into bootloop? Also, recovery mode is a little harder to access than download mode. Try a couple of more times. Let me know.
I’ve put it to charge. After some time when I tried to use the phone, it was off. When I turned it on, the bootloop started.
When I try to access the recovery mode quickly appears the image of the android robot (as show in the attached image) but then disappears and the loop starts again…
Hmm, then there is no problem with recovery. You just need some more precision while pressing and releasing the keys. Just as you see the droid bot, release the Power key instantly while keep other keys pressed. Try more and you will be able to boot in recovery. If you fail to do that after more attempts, reinstall firmware.
I think I’ll have to reinstall my firmware =(
Then go for it.
What is the easiest to do that?
Well resetting the device is easier obviously.
Yeah, but I’ve tried by all ways to resetting it in the recovery mode but it was useless. I couldn’t access it =/
So I will try one last thing before throw my phone at the trash =(
I do not think you need to trash your device. Try installing new firmware.
My phone is stuck in bootloop. I have the Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 and I would really like it if I could save my stuff aka photo, videos, voice recordings, notes, downloads etc.
I’m not experienced with modding or tinkering with the phone but just want to know whether or not I can save the data and if it is possible to somehow recover it, how can I do so
Thank you
Tried these steps but couldnt get into recovery..Pulling the battery actually worked for once! Thanks!
hey my tablet suffered the same problem , is there a way i can reset my android tablet, using a laptop/desktop pc ?

Earlier I wqs finally able to get to the green android recovery by flashing stock file and a .pit file, the phone booted up I wqs able to factory restore but after the phone glitched off and now im back to the loop.

Hello I have a Galaxy Grand Duos phone and I used Odin3 to install the 4.2.2 leaked firmware. After the process was done Odin displayed “Passed” but my phone never rebooted. I tried to power it on and it won’t do anything! It can’t even go into Recovery or Download mode. The display just won’t light up any more! Seems like the phone is dead… Is there any way to fix this problem?Please help me! Thanks a lot in advance for your advice!
Hi, I guess your phone’s battery is exhausted. Pull out the battery for half an hour, reinsert it and try to boot it into recovery or download mode. If it does not work, try with another battery.
I have a S3 GT-I9300. I was running a rooted version of 4.2.2 oficical leaked firmware. I’ve decided to flash cm10.1. I’ve done everything right but when I reboot it doesn’t even get to the boot animantion. It’s stucked on ” Samsung Galaxy S III GT-I9300″ . I’ve tried your first two methods and I’ve flashed cm10.1 again but nothing has changed. I can acces both , download mode and recovery. Please help
And yes I have a backup and I can restore to it but i still want cyanogenmode on my phone
Hi, it’s weird that you are not able to access the Download or recovery mode. Does you device has sufficient battery life? If yes, pull out the battery, wait for 5 minutes and then try again. Download mode is the only hope for you to recover the device yourself.
I have a droid 3. I was running a rooted version of the stock firmware with an unlocked radio on the primary rom slot in safestrap, and for whatever reason decided i wanted my steeldroid 5.6 rom from slot 2 on the primary slot. I backed it up, and restored it to the primary slot. Upon booting, i no longer get the safestrap menu, and the phone for some reason wont read my sd cards. other than safestrap it never had another custom recovery.

Hi I have a rooted Galaxy S 4g (tmobile) and did a factory reset and then proceeded to do a restore. The phone went into loop showing the Galaxy S4g by Tmobile screen. I have not been able to get back into recovery and when I connect to my computer via USB cable the phone is not recognized as an external drive. Any options here???
If you are able to enter download mode, install new firmware.
How??? The computer is not recognizing the phone.
Put the device into download mode, launch Odin and connect the device to PC. See if Odin is detecting it or not.
If it does not recognize, uninstall the usb driver, restart PC, reinstall the drivers, and try again.
Let me know.
It worked! Finally, after unistalling drivers, restarting computer and reinstalling drivers the computer was able to recognize the phone and I was able to install new firmware.
Thanks a lot!
We are happy for you. 🙂
hi im a galaxy s advance user. Recently i updated my phone with jelly bean 4.1.2 using kies but i found that the phones performance was being comprimised with the new update so i decided to revert back to GB. I downloaded the official GB firmware for my phone from sammobile and installed it using Odin following the instructions given in Droidviews. Odin successfully completed the installation but my phone is stuck a the Samsung Galaxy S advance screen. What should i do?
Did you use this guide?

I have the Galaxy Grand GT19082 which has gone stuck at the Android Recovery Screen and in a Bootloop. I Have already tried your suggested method 1 (since it is not rooted) a number of times to no avail. Is there a way I can reinstall the firmware without going to the vendor? I am downloading Kies, the JellyBean 4.1.2 software link on your website and Odin. Do you have any guide for this.
I am very new to this.
Replied on the other post. Just make sure Kies not open while you use Odin.
I have an lg Optimus S. I had it plugged into my laptop via the USB cable, fell asleep, woke up, and it is in Android System Recovery . I have rebooted numerous times, selected to wipe cache, and selected to apply adcard:update.zip. The last option is to wipe data/factory reset, but I am trying with all my might to avoid that because I have some important text messages that I do not want to lose. Do you have any advice?
thanks for this detailed how-to. my dead tablet is back to life! though my data is lost. next time i read your other stuff on how to save data before the system crashes.
Nice! 🙂
My wife’s Samsung GS2 GTI9100 (on o2) recently took it upon itself to
update to Jellybean. A few days later, after working fine, her phone
rebooted itself and now never boots passed the glowing Samsung logo
(stays on this screen).
I know how to get into the Android System
Recovery – however, I’m worried she’ll lose all our kids
photos etc. Please advise how I can either 1.backup all the personal
data and/or 2.how to safely recover from this issue.
I’ve removed
and checekd the contents of SDcard and her photo/vids are not there –
so am 99% certain such data is on the phone somewhere.
Please Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaassee help.
Hmm. This reminds me of a similar situation a few days back. Same emotional aspect involved.
Anyways, in such cases the options are limited. Get into recovery mode and “wipe cache partition” only and reboot the device. In a case like yours, it might work.
Try and let me know.
Thanks for the response!!!
Sorry I should have said… I read your visitors comments and tried that (“wipe cache partition”) as it had been suggested elsewhere – It didn’t work!
I wondered if there’s a way perhaps via ‘ADT (adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130522)’. I’m no developer but pretty good at understanding how to hack and follow instructions.
Of course, I know there’s the ‘factory reset’ option, but afraid of loosing pic&vids over 2 years of our very young toddlers growing up.
Despite me installing Kies and shortcutting backup links etc, my wfie hadn’t done them – I can’t really blame her as I don’t know many non-techies who do back up their mobile.
In hindsight, I’ve purchased my backup pro etc, but still, I’m stuck with my wife’s scenario.
Any ideas at all? Is there no way to access the mobile’s hardrive via USB?
Hi, the problem is very common and easy to fix by doing a data/factory reset, but what makes it complicated.
It’s easy to backup the system data too but that requires a live device and root access. Moreover, there is no ADB command way to help with this situation. Here is what I can suggest:
I presume it is on Android 4.1.2.
If your device boots up normally, you are on the go, if not try rooting and installing CWM recovery on it. Do not let the device boot, enter recovery and create a backup of the ROM on the extSD. you can then install the following firmware.
Roting tutorial: http://droidviews.com/2013/root-and-install-cwm-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-on-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean/
Download the same firmware your Galaxy S2 is on. Here is a no wipe firmware that wont delete any data or apps from your device:
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/202199689/1ab3f8f/I9100XWLSD_I9100O2ULS7_O2U.zip.html
Install this firmware for O2 (UK) using Odin manually, method is here: http://droidviews.com/2013/samsung-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-receives-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-firmware-update/
I, or anyone, cannot guarantee that this method is 100% data loss proof. It’s just a kind of desperate remedy. Good luck!
Just read your reply. What amazing help!! Thanks ever so much. When I’m done, and whether your help resolves my issue or not, I’ll be sure to blog and give a link to you.
If it works, I’d like to pay you!
I’ll be sure to come back and keep you updated asap. 🙂
Upon install of Samsung USB drivers (SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.23.0-retail.exe) … Windows XP reports “the mobile phone is in use. To install normally, you need to remove the device blah blah blah…”
I’ve tried removing it & kies, removing any portable devices from Device Manager. Restarted laptop and still can’t install.
I’ve got all the other file ready – Placed Odin on desktop, got UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25.zip sitting on my micro SD card. Just can’t install USB drivers. I’ve got the official ones from Samsung UK for my phone model.
Arghhhhhhhhh.
Hey, sorry for the late reply. Connection problem here.
As for the USB drivers installation problem you need not install it if you already have Kies on your Pc. Just make sure that either Kies or the drivers are installed at a time and Kies is closed while you use Odin.
Try the Usb drivers from here-http://droidviews.com/2012/android-usb-drivers-samsung-motorola-sony-lg-zte-htc-asus-huawei-acer/
If you still have problem with it, you can proceed if you Pc can detect the device when it is in Download mode.
Let me know what happens. Good luck!
I’ve had zero luck with trying to install usb drivers onto my Acer Travelmate 5520 running XP. I can’t stand kies,I’ve never had a good experience with Kies – never had these issues with my nokia I must say!!
Anyway, update: since my last comment above, I’ve tried all sorts to get my laptop talking to my mobile, constantly get Windows XP reports “the mobile phone is in use. To install normally, you need to remove the device blah blah blah…”
So I am now trying to connect the phone via my wife’s Samsung Netbook Windows 7 (Not the best; rather slow).
I will be sure to come back and update you.
Try with some other computer. I am surprised that why you have to struggle with the Odin connection issue.
Hey, Hello again! Well I’m losing the will to live with my wife’s GS2!!! 🙁
The latest is, I tried everything you’d said (inc.other posts you’d linked to) via her crappy netbook. Odin actually connected without problem and I ran the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.30.zip from a new mini sd I’d inserted (her SD wasn’t being recogninsed).
However, upon reboot it actually got past the ‘Glowing Samsung Logo’ but this time gave a series of messages “doing this, doing that etc” but got stuck for a day & half on “Starting Apps” message. 🙁 After a day & a half, I switched it off and went through the motions all over again… stuck on Glowing Samsung logo again! 🙁
Any ideas? Is there somewhere we can send this mobile in to get repaired do you know? Really don’t want to lose pics & vids of our kids as we can’t have any more kids and my wife literally nearly died giving birth to each one of them. So the first couple of years are precious to us (that’s what’s on the phone).
As ever, your help is MUCH appreciated. If / when I solve I will Paypal some thanks to you. 🙂
Hi,
I hope you installed CWM on your phone while rooting it. If yes, do this: put an external SD into device, remove phone’s battery, wait till a minute, put it back and boot the phone into CWM recovery mode. to do this press Volume Up + Home + Power keys simultaneously for a few seconds. when you enter CWM recovery, go to “backup and restore” and backup the ROM to external SD.
When this is done let me know.
Waiting for reply, though it’s 2 am in the night (time to sleep).
Hi,
Yes CWM is installed.
And I’ve just followed your instructions, exacts steps I took did not ‘exactly’ match your described steps…
> booted into CWM-based recovery v6.0.2.7
[available options were… ]
– Reboot system now
– Install zip
– Wipe data/factory reset
– Wipe Cache Partition
– Backup and Restore (***chose this one***)
– Mounts and storage
– Advanced
– PhilZ Settings
– Jeboo Kernel Tweets
– Power Off
[then options were…]
– Backup (***chose this one***)
– Restore
– Delete
– Advanced Restore
– Free Unusued Backup Data
– Choose Default Backup Format
– Backup to internal SDcard
– Restore from Internal SDcard
– Advanced restore from Internal SDcard
– Delete from Internal SDcard
– go back
[then options were…]
I’ve just done this for 2nd time. But 1st time around, there was around 10,000mb available on SDcard, but something did not complete at the end; stupidly I failed to note what it was. I returned back to my office and battery had gone.
So, 2nd time around it says 6278mb available. So I’d have to assume it backed up everything as that’s around 9gig?
Backing process “completed” up to following stage: ‘Backup of Preload Completed’.
It’s now backing up “data” and given error “error while making a backup image of /data!
Didn’t you send me your skype details at some point? Can’t seem to find it. Sorry.
Nice, the difference in the options is due to various unofficial version available. Now boot into recovery again and do these things (I tested it on my S4 today):
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache partition
Go to “advanced” and “wipe dalvik cache”
Finally, reboot the device.
Let me know but where do you disappear for so many hours?
Made me laugh – “Where do I disappear for so many hours?”
I run my own Web Marketing Business, but due to my wife’s Back Condition she’s been bed ridden for last few weeks (having surgery in a couple of weeks) – I’ve had to run my house, try to plan getting our driveway done, felling trees outside, giving talks on web marketing in the evenings and look after our 2 young children!! 🙂
So, that’s why I’ve come back to my wife’s phone a handful of times per week. I’m juggling too much! 🙂
OK, I just did the following only…
Wipe Cache partition
Go to “advanced” and “wipe dalvik cache”
I assume my wife will lose all her contacts etc if I’d applied “Wipe data/factory reset”, so thought I’d try the others first.
Phone said loading apps (around 140 or so I think), then the screen went black.
🙁
I try to power up, I have a Triangular Yellow warning Sign on inital screen it’s got passed the logo issue and now says starting apps. The screen keeps going black.
I’ll try a different power adapter in case that’s an issue, can’t tell whether power adapter’s doing anything – it’s not an official Samsung charger.
Okay, I can understand. Try this as It has been tested by me yesterday.
Install a custom ROM like Paranoid Android from here: http://droidviews.com/2013/best-custom-roms-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-2013-edition/
Installation instructions have been given on the same page. You phone would boot then. Good luck.
Hey, did you try it?
For live assistance add this on Gtalk: droidviews@gmail.com
And yes, I am also experimenting with another solution on my S4. If it works, will suggest you do that.
Thanks for the appreciation. I too like helping people to the best of my capacity. I am just concerned about the solution for your problem. As for the payment, we accept only “Thanks!” 🙂
the sounds used to play previously
I noticed this about three months ago please
MY phone ZTE engage LT is stuck in a bott loop and i dont know what to. I was tryin to install beat audio thing, and boom a red triangle thing popped up with a dead android lying on the ground. i tried a hard reset and nope, nothing at all. Please help me.
I guess it is not but Is your device is rooted?
yes sir it is
Then boot the device into recovery mode and wipe data/factory, cache partition and dalvik cache.
alright, i did bit still nothn at al..
Hmm. Did you back up your ROM after rooting it? If yes, restore it back.
Nope to tell you the truth im just a average person who doesnt know none of this. My friend did everything for me. I looked up every way and right now im tryin to downlaod this backup thing.
Well it worked… but my power button doesn’t work.
Okay, you can now try the factory data reset to fix it. If it doesn’t, download a power button replacement app from the Google play.
nope it didnt work at all, i now got a white line at the bottom of my screen and every time i use the power button it makes squiggly lines..
and then i gotta take the battery out to use it again
There is wipe cache option sir

Try another ROM. May be CyanogenMod: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p999

Do you have a custom recovery already installed on your device? If yes, then which one?
Thank you
hi, im in bootloop my sony xperia pro keeps flashing the sony logo all over again, i have rooted it and unlocked the boot loader. what should i do?
Reboot device in recovery an follow the steps:
Normally, to boot into recovery turn on your phone and in the Sony Ericsson splash screen (not the boot animation, the first screen) when the LED indicator turns blue, press volume down, then you’ll be in recovery.
Hi!
My friend have Galaxy Note, He is updating his phone under Setting>AboutDevice>SoftwareUpdate>Update but meanwhile his mobile was switched, So he turn on his phone and his phone was not turning on and stuck on SAMSUNG Logo. And he even tried to open android recovery menu by pressing Power+Menu+SoundUP but unable open an android logo will appear and then it started blinking.
We went to Samsung Service Center they told that now your device has no android firmware.
Kindly tell me how can I install unrooted jeallybean firmware on Samsung Galaxy Note (N7000).
Thanks in Advance.
Are you able to boot the device in Download Mode by pressing Volume Down+Home+Power keys at the same time for a few seconds?
Yes, I’m able to boot
Then try this: http://droidviews.com/2013/update-samsung-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-to-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-official-firmware/
By Installing Samsung Kies then Starting Odin & click PDA and selecting N7000DDLSC_N7000ODDLSC_INU file and Mobile will be in downloading mode and connected through USB will work.

Reinstall the Custom ROM again, or flash official firmware back- http://droidviews.com/2012/how-to-install-the-official-stock-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-using-odin/
You made a big mistake while rooting by installing a wrong file. That guidee was only for GT-I9100. Your recovery has corrupted and therefore you are not able to enter it.
Anyways, install this firmware: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/198312898/bec3de7/I9100GXXLSR_I9100GDBTLS1_DBT.zip.html
And use this guide: http://droidviews.com/2013/how-to-downgrade-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-devices/
It will fix your phone hopefully.
Oh, doesn’t sound very good, I will try this and let you know, thank you very much for your link, greatly appreciated your help
It worked, thank you, i downloaded a Chinese gingerbread firmware, and it worked, thank you very muchhhhh.
Just you know if I want to root my phone, is there any where I can get the relevant file for my version of phone to root it
thank you again. Droid views will be my trusted site for future android topics 🙂
Nice to know it helped!
We do have a guide for rooting i911G but is it for 4.1.2: http://droidviews.com/2013/root-samsung-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100g-on-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-firmware/
Gingerbread has now become outdated but If I get time, I’ll try to write a good tutorial. Cheers!
Hey, My phone got bootloop just after I install the CWM and phone couldn’t reboot anymore. I can access the download mode, but not the recovery mode, since it’s an unrooted phone, I am not sure what to do now to restore the phone.
thank you very much for your suggestions
Your recovery is corrupted. Since you mentioned Download mode, you must have a Galaxy phone. Download a firmware for your device and install it. Your problem will be solved.
Here is a link with firmwar link and tutorial: http://droidviews.com/2013/how-to-downgrade-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-devices/
Thank you very much for reponses. sorry I forgot to mentioned I have Galaxy S2 It’s a unrooted phone, can I still just re download a firmware, would it allow me to, sorry I am a bit new to this
Yes, you can. Just use the tutorial I gave you link and install new firmware via download mode. It’ll be fine again.
HI. I have a Galaxy Nexus. I opened a game, and my phone rebooted. Now I am stuck on a boot loop. I don’t want to factory reset because I have TONS of pics and videos of my newborn on it. I hate to erase them! Is there any way to save them? (This phone has no removable memory) I can’t seem to find anyone who can help. I have only 5 days before Verizon wants this phone back to trade in… Please tell me the pics aren’t gone for good! (Plugging into the computer doesn’t recognize phone.) They said they think it might have crashed while installing JB… I had ICS. Thoughts?
Hi Kayce, it’s really difficult situation you have fell into. Usually, I would have recommended you to just do a data factory reset but being a father of a new born myself, I can understand the emotional side of the problem too.
As I am writing this, I can’t guarantee that it is a 100% proof method but it is the safest I can thing about now. Since you did not flash any custom Kernel or ROM before getting into the situation, there are chances that you can boot the device by removing the phone’s battery and placing it back after 30 seconds or so. When it is turned of, press the power button. Try it again and again for 10-15 times.
If the above method does not work, you can try flashing the 4.2.2 factory image without using the system wipe commands. Here is the link to firmware: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/mysid-jdq39-factory-e365033f.tgz
And here is the tutorial for updating: http://droidviews.com/2012/galaxy-nexus-guide-flash-jelly-bean-4-2-1-factory-image/
I am a noob at this stuff… I dont know what flashing is or what kernels are. 🙂 I have removed the battery many times. I have tried to take it through recovery mode to no avail. I have not tried to wipe the cache yet. I have trouble getting it to get to the stock recovery. I did it once though (that’s where the blue text comes up right?) When I plug it onto the computer the computer says “hi” the phone says “duhhhhh”. (That’s how my brother in law the computer guy explained it to me). The phone has no idea its even connected.
Hi. does your device has an unlocked bootloader?
First try this:
Boot device into reocvery and wipe cache partition. Follow these steps-
Power Down your device
Hold volume + and – button then
hit the power button.
Using the volume rocker go to Recovery Mode
Hit
Power button to select
an error screen will be shown then
press the power and volume up button to boot into stock
recovery
Hope it helps.
Just in case you were wondering, I tried everything. The only thing that brought it back to life was factory reset. 🙁 But at least it came back… Any recommendations for a good backup ap? Maybe something to the cloud, or dropbox?
There are many good apps out there. For cloud backup, try Helium App Sync and Backup or G Cloud Backup from Play store.
For normal backup, see this: http://droidviews.com/2013/backup-apps-contacts-logs-messages-and-settings-without-rooting-your-android-phone/

My note n7000 froze after a factory rest on stock ics and now wont boot up just stuck at the initial samsung and phone name logo i tried to flash stock rom through odin but i wont go its stuck at the factoryfs.img whichever stock rom version i use i searched on the net about n7000 and found that many people had emmc brick when doing factory reset and similar symptoms as mine and they used the pit method to repartition bad sectors and partitions away and it did the trick too for them but i currently am scared to try it out now and the people at samsung service centre if cant be recovered via software then they say that to change the motherboard costing a hell lot so what should i do now should i just give the pit a try cause i am sure thier method of flashing rom wont work i have tried all roms and they wont try the jtag method to recover it just change it PLEASE HELP ME I AM DOOMED
Hi, the .pit method is often used to revive a soft-bricked device. Since normal Odin method is not working for you, the pit procedure might help you. Also the emmc brick bug is a firmware based issue and was found on the early releases of ICS firmwares for Galaxy Note. The problem has been fixed in the latest JB. Once you phone is recovered, immediately install the latest JB ROM on it-

How about Jtag recovery
The reason why i had to root my phone was coz it was getting rebooted coz f no reason and was getting freezed. do u think rooting my phone and changing the rom will help me. Also my sd card znt getting recognized even though the files in it are scanned while running antivirus.. any fix

i have the lg motion, i rooted my phone and everything was fine. It worked perfectly but then i decided to restart it since i just rooted it and boom, it got stuck in a bootloop. but there was a message under the lg logo saying security error, morning call cannot be verififed. Can you help me out cuz my phone does not have a recovery with many options. All it says is factory reset. I have the original firmware can you help.
Hi, sorry for the late reply!
Seems you have installed wrong root package or made some mistake in following the installation instructions. I do not think that factory reset will help. However, since you have not flashed a custom Kernel fact. reset might work. An
