Hey everyone!
I have never posted anything on a forum before, so please tell me if I do anything wrong. I have searched everywhere to find a solution for my problem, but I found nothing.
Today I accidentally got into the Samsung Recovery Utils of my galaxy 3. I have done nothing to the phone, all original, nothing flashed or rooted. But now I can't get out of this mode, if I restart the phone it automatically goes back into it.
Does anyone know how to get out of there?
Thank you a lot for helping me!
And I hope that this is the right forum to ask this question, as I said, I have never posted in a forum before.
Usually you should be able to reboot from recovery mode. Scroll to reboot Phone with the Volume Keys and klick with the Home Key... Your phone should restart.
Otherwise remove the battery, wait a few moments, plug the battery back in and try it again.
Good Luck
Thank you, I tried both several times, but I always end up in the recovery mode... I have no idea how i can get out of there! Do you maybe know something else I could do?
do the battery thing mentioned above. turn on your phone with vol up+ vol down+home +power (hold them for a while) and then try rebooting from the menu
here's the solution

Hey.. If ur on a Android 2.1 firmware and stuck on recovery every time...
just use the volume keys and chose the option "reboot" ... by the way.. its on default there.
after that just press the central key or called the "home key" two times consecutively..
ur good to go
I tried this several times, but I always end up in the Recovery Menu. When I pull out the battery, restart the phone and hold all those buttons including the power button my phone shows the Samsung Galaxy Logo and then reboots again, and then shows the Logo and reboots again. Only without holding the power button, and only the other ones I get into the Recovery Menu again. I really hope there is a way to get out of this mode! Thank you for all your help so far!
Hey I just saw the post in front of my other one
So yes I'm on Android 2.1 if that helps. And I tried this method several times, but when my phone restarts I always end up in the recovery mode by pressing nothing.
But thank you
try wipeing data and cache
I tried that out, but still rebooted into recovery mode all the time.
Because I couldn't find anything that solved my problem I just decided to flash my phone to a newer original firmware via odin. I just finished flashing and everything works fine as it did before, till now tho. I used the tutorial that is on this forum for flashing my I5800 and it worked perfectly fine, thank you for everyone's help anyway!
Now I hope that they will soon bring back froyo on kies, because it was deleted from the servers again today in Germany so I can't update. Hope that will happen soon!
I would recommend to forget about KIES... I am sorry but this software is a piece of crap!
Keep using the Odin Flasher. If you have some spare time install gsams nice lagfix and be happy about a very fast Froyo I5800
Edit:
Another funny thing about Kies: You can download the current version by using a US Proxy Server, which is also free of these annoying error messages at startup. But still there are much better alternatives, and the newest version (Kies 5 I think) is also incompatible to the I5800 Phone :-/
Yes, I really hate kies, that software is nothing good!
I think I will follow your advise to continue using odin flasher. Which froyo version is the best to install? I still have 2.1 on my phone. and then how do you install that lagfix? Sorry for all those questions, but I'm new to all this.

you are new to this? ok, then go to the development section and see the READ FIRST thread
I have already read through those threads, I just meant that I just started some days ago, I'm not a pro, I'm only someone who just started haha
So today I flashed to xxjpf froyo and I'm having no problems so far. everything is fine so my problem is solved and in addition I have froyo now

So I just rooted my device and then tried to install a lag fix... when I rebooted my phone after the script, I heard the T-Mobile jingle and then it came to a blank screen. When I pressed the power button there was no response. If I press any of the white keys at the bottom, they just light up. I CAN turn my phone off and go into recovery mode.
This thing has kind of shaken me up so I am willing to go back to an unrooted phone.
PLEASE HELP!
Nandroid, my friend.
Since you are able to boot into recovery, do a nandroid restore.
If you do not have your own nandroid backup There is a thread in the Dev forum you can dowload one from. Just search "[ROM] OFFICIAL T-Mo Vibrant JFD ODIN/Nandroid Backup Images 7/29/10 (Tested/Working)" (I can't hotlink yet. sorry)
This is all assuming you have installed clockwork recovery, which you should have done before you attempted any modding of any sort. Also always remember to create a nandroid of your current system before trying something that is still in beta.
i got same problem here and a don't have clockwork recovery :-(
Then you have to use odin if you don't have clockwork...
My phones have been flashed more than Girls Gone Wild..

I think I found a fix that works...
I just went to recovery mode, and deleted all user data.
I then rebooted and still had a blank screen for about 10 seconds, and then my lock screen came up.
Worked for me! Thanks everyone.

I was trying to install Wanamlite through TWRP, but I did a couple things wrong. I have flashed custom ROMS before, but I think I was just careless this time.
The things I did wrong are:
I installed the wrong kernel, I used this one KT747-TW-JB-4.1.2-ATT-05-31-2013.zip for the GS3.
I did not click "reboot" after install of the ROM and kernel, I held down the power button. Don't know what I was thinking!
I then tried the factory ROM through ODIN as discussed in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261573, everything in ODIN told me things were going smooth. Now when my phone tries to boot up it just vibrates every few seconds repeatedly with nothing displaying on the screen.
I thought my phone was supposed to boot right up after installation!! Any ideas?
It will be better to keep the discussion to this thread instead of the ODIN thread. However, here is a thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327226
...with a very similar issue to yours. If you definitely can't get into recovery (keep trying different key combinations and timing) and Odin doesn't work, you appear to be screwed at the moment. Maybe you can try some ADB options. You will need to search for information about it and there is no guarantee it will help you.
Unless something else surfaces, Jtag repair might be the only option. You can search for information about that as well. Good luck.

Thank you, I treid the button combinations but sadly I don't think that's the problem. I'll try some ADB options and look closely at some other threads. Looks like I'll have to reactivate my iPhone 5 until I get this problem sorted out! What a bummer!
so you're able to get into download mode but not recovery, correct?

Yes that's completely correct!
since you've already flashed back to stock via odin, i want you to try booting into recovery again. just to start from the beginning and cover all the bases.
pull the battery and wait a few seconds
reinsert the battery and immediately press the recovery combo: vol up + home + power (in that order). release just the power button as soon as your device vibrates while still holding down vol up and home.
if this does not get you into recovery initially, try the method a few more times and report back.
if this does get you into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and reboot.
Thank you for the thorough instructions. However, it did not work. I tried 12 times with no success.
Phone just kept vibrating every few seconds and would not go into recovery.
until we find out a little bit more about this issue, i personally dont have much advise to offer. are you familiar with adb?
scott14719 linked a thread pertaining to your issue. i'm sure you read it and see that you're the only one in this situation.
i will continue to do some research.
Isn't there a Kies emergency recovery or something. Just putting it out there.

Yep, but kies has to recognize the phone, which is hit and miss. If kies recognizes the phone, it would be worth a try.
Try to flash your carrier rom again using odin. Download links can be found here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ once you get the PASS in odin your phone may still be stuck in a bootloop. As xBeerdroiDx mentioned , try removing the battery then go into recovery and restore to factory settings. I had the same problem with twrp ,I was stuck in a bootloop , no restore , no boot nothing. My phone is working now thank god.
Try this and report back

Hello,
This morning I tried to root my phone so that I can force everything to be moved to a sd card since the storage of the system is low not enough to install apps and to install A mod that is more updated then the current GingerBread OS.
I managed to soft brick the device the rom clearly said e405 obviously the developer has a few bugs anyway I manage to recover from my soft brick by A software 'KDZ' Only issue I have now is when I press volume up on boot I get A notice icon trying to say something (image of the icon is attached below) and when I use ROM Manager to reboot to recovery it will attempt to go there, Instead of going to recovery it goes to A loading page then this erases all my data/apps except SuperUser/Root.
Tried everything and it still does it?
When I use the LG Emergency Software it just goes to a page saying not responding??
Any help and ideas would be grateful so I can fix this issue and move on also im mostly A samsung user and im fairly new to lg.
See thee error message below
Once i get the idea of what the icon is actually trying to say I should be in the right direction.
Thanks,

I saw that icon after flashing back to stock rom with KDZ and a hard reset worked for me. Pull the battery, make sure you not connected to USB or charger, then press and hold home key and down volume while you press power on. Release power when you see LG logo, hold the down and home for a while until you see android unpacking a box. It takes about a minute to see this, so you gotta wait for it. The phone reboots or shut downs, don't rememberwhich

Man go to the screen u have posted the images above , then use KDZ to flash back Man!
This is "DIAG MODE" so select it in KDZ program
So select KDZ file ( download if u have tried urs so far)

Still didnt work it flash though but still didnt fix the recovery..
These lg are actually useless a simple firmware flash should do the job.
LG staff are also rude to be honest rang up and because I tried to root and I was doing the right thing going back to stock they denied support and hang up without me giving A reply. Glad ive switched back to samsung s4 and Apple IPhone 5C.
Thanks for attempting to help :.)
Hi guys,
I did a research regarding my problem, found a couple of threads but none of them helped and I noticed my situation is a bit different from most users having this problem.
I live in Brazil, went on a trip to USA for 15 days, kept my SIM card and SD into the phone, just used it to access WiFi, watch videos, make a couple of Viber calls, send messages via WhatsApp, etc. Everything was fine, no problem at all.
Today, when I landed in Brazil, I turned on the phone, entered my pattern and since then my phone just displays that initial screen "Samsung Galaxy S4" and keeps rebooting like crazy. In these last 15 days, I didn't make a single change on the phone. Absolutely nothing. It just decided not to work anymore
My phone is not rooted, runs the latest updates.
I tried initializing in safe mode (power+home+volume up), it shows the android green robot at a glance and then reboots again. I can't even read what is written on the screen, so fast the reboot takes place. I also tried pressing the menu button repeatedly, but no luck as well. Tried removing the battery, turning on without SIM & SD, nothing. When I connect it to a power source, the red led doesn't even light. My computer doesn't recognize it either.
Any suggestions on what to do? Returning it to the shop is not an option as well, cause I bought it out of Brazil...
Thanks a lot, colleagues!

You could try this take the battery out for at least 12 hours , I read somewhere that can work for your kind of problem
I had this with Note 2.
No other option but to factory reset and flash official samsung firmware from sammobile.com
After that we were back to normal. Try that.
sounds not that bad..
try booting on download mode then flash some official firmware from sammobile.com
NOTE: don't flash XXUMH8 or any MH firmware for it contains new bootloaders with the samsung KNOX crap.
I really wish I could solve that without having to install everything again... but anyway
I'm sorry for this newbie question, but how can I flash a new firmware if my computer doesn't recognize my phone?
And what software do I need in order to do that?
Thanks a lot!
Just one more question...
if I really have to install a firmware, isn't it better to flash one from another country?
It seems like Brazil is always one of the latest to get the updates
Which country would you recommend?
Thanks a lot again, colleagues.

I'm totally sure it is genuine.
I mean, I can go to download mode.
When I press power+home+volume down, it works.
But when I click volume up in order to continue to download mode, the phone reboots.
It can't stay stable for more than 3 seconds, let's say.

Ok, but in order to perform a hard reset, I need to press power+home+volume up at the same time, right?
That doesn't work either.
When the small green android robot is shown, the phone immediately reboots. I can't even read if there's something written, so fast it reboots.
Are there any options left or just sending to Samsung?

Same exact sht been happening to me today, id suggest using odin, as well as rooting it, I also tried to flash bootloader with a recovery thing, it worked but didnt fix the issue. The fked screen is a recovery screen not a bootloader i guess. Im still working on fixing mine. Going to see if flashing a rom will get rid of it. good luck
Try flashing stock ROM in ODIN, followed by clearing cache in recovery mode (volume up+home+power key).
If that doesn't help, a factory reset/wipe data may be necessary which can also be done in recovery mode.
If you don't understand what I'm going on about, I'd suggest to read up before continuing
