My friend has a GT-I9500 that gets stuck at the Samsung logo when booting and the status led is blue blinking slowly.... We have verified that it is not a fake through Sammy. The problem is that the phone will not go into download mode... We can get into recovery, but not download. Odin will not recognize the phone in either state (boot loop or recovery). I have read the threads about shorting the jumpers, but when we took the phone apart, it does not look like the pics (that sounded really noob...) and we were not able to locate the correct pins to jump... We ordered a jig off of ebay and it will be here soon, but does anybody have any other ideas??
Thanks for the input ahead of time!

Yep....read that one before. The problem is I can't do step 1.....download mode. Down + home + pwr won't take the phone into download mode, it simply turns it on.
Try using terminal.
Type :
su
reboot download
I know in twrp recovery there is also an option to boot to download mode.
Best of luck

We need more info:
Which file dit you flash?
Dit you flash one file in PHONE?
or mulitple files, like PIT+BOOTLADER+PDA?
Also it is a good idea to check the MD5 before you flash to make shure the download is not corrupt.
Can you stil go into download mode? Volume Down + Power + Home
Can you go into recovery? Volume UP + Power + Home
Also you can retry with Odin3 v1.85.

Here is my suggestion, reboot the phone into recovery mode. (it's ok if its a stock recovery)
After going into recovery do a "factory reset" and see if the phone starts up normally.
There is at least a 50/50 chance that it will.
If it still does not boot then you need to go to SamMobile: http://www.sammobile.com
and get the stock official ODIN flash firmware for your specific phone model.
I would have given you the exact download link for your specific phone if you would
have been more SPECIFIC and added the EXACT model of your phone in your post.

Hi guys, I just recently attempted to root my Note 3 using CF-Auto-Root however after downloading and installing using my version (SM-N900T since I have tmo) it is stuck at a screen saying
RECOVERY BOOTING....
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
SET WARRANTY BIT: RECOVERY
It seems that I cannot leave this boot screen to get into download mode and the device will not boot into android so I am at a loss of what to do. My computer does not see the device when I plug it in.

Use below file for rooting & once rooted successfully, switch off your phone & reboot in recovery.

Remove battery, wait 10 seconds replace battery and
hold down the volume down+power+home key at the
same time. Then the phone will go into download mode.
I have 4 sprint Note 3's I rooted with CWM for all 4 but one is "stuck" at recovery like this any time I turn it on it always tries to boot into recovery and gets stuck.
I can get into download mode. will cf auto root fix this? (trying to avoid a full odin restore)
the only thing different about this sprint note 3 that I am aware of is that its flashed to boost (if that matters it should not matter)
the other 3 went flawlessly. yes I tried to odin the cwm root a second time no change.
Thanks!!!
Thanks for the link. Just unboxed the note 3 (sprint) with version 4.3 and followed qbking77 and it was stuck on that same screen (tried it 3 times).
Your link saved me. :good::good::good:
I wonder why qbking's didn't work ... it always has in the past.

Why didn't you use the specific file for your device (Note 3 Sprint): http://download.chainfire.eu/362/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hltespr-hltespr-smn900p.zip
thought I was...
Maybe I'm getting dumber, or maybe it's getting more confusing to root. Seems like there's a crap load of how to root this device pages and it takes a long time to figure out which one actually works. Then once I find it, I'm faced with dead links to the downloads.
I read on many posts and comments that everyone is able to boot in download mode. My Note 3 just stuck on recovery boot and I can't get it to boot in download mode. I tried all of the suggestions about pressing three buttons, removing battery etc.
Does anyone know solution for when you can't get into download mode?
Thanks
Do you have access to a USB jig?

i know this thread is old....but sometimes i have to access download mode, and then chose cancel in order for it to boot. usually from recovery when i tap reboot system, it brings me back to recovery. so i have to pull the battery and button combo to download mode then cancel. does this issue have any familiarity?
Someone please help I have a Samsung note edge that I just reset through the menu settings backup and reset option and phone turned off but did not fully come back on its just sitting on black Samsung Screen and on top left corner it says recovery booting set warranty bit : recovery in blue and yellow letters and I am able to got into the download screen but I press volume down just to cancel and reboot and stars coming on but gose back to same black Samung screen. Like i said I did not try rooting it or any such thing.
Wrong forum this is not EDGE model .
Download mode and flash stock rom through Odin is generic advice .
"Recovery Booting" Bootloop fix
A few months ago, my rooted Galaxy Note 3 (sm-n900t) was force closing and freezing my apps often. So I decided to boot into recovery to clear device cache. The 'recovery booting' would appear on the screen with the logo, but after 7 seconds it would reboot normally instead of opening recovery(I had version 3.2.3.0). So I did reboot recovery with Rom Toolbox and it began bootlooping with the message:
Recovery Booting....
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
It wouldn't boot normally, in recovery or download mode.
STEPS TO FIX:
1.) Let phone Bootloop until completely dead
2.) On PC downloaded (2.8.7.0) twrp file for device from twrp.me/devices
3.) Press and hold volume down + home + power until phone reboots into download mode.
4.) Plug device into PC USB where drivers are loaded.
5.) Start Odin or Samsung Tool z3x flashing tab
6.) Load twrp in AP or PDA section and flash
7.) Phone should reboot normally!
Is there any other way to get to the download / recovery mode without the JIG while stuck in a bootloop? Because I cant really wait for one to ship to me nor even make one myself.
Thank you for all answers
[THE LONG STORY]
I've been using official ROM just like usual. Then the phone [GT-i9500] suddenly restarts itself and stuck in a bootloop.
I've tried entering both recovery / download mode [vol+home+pwr with the sim and sd card removed] - nothing worked. More specifically, after I press 'continue' to the download mode there comes up the GT-i9500 splash screen. I doubt that my keys are not working tho.
What's funny is that, by the way home, I took the phone to the Samsung service center. While pretending to be just another dumb user, they plugged in a USB JIG and the download screen came up like normal. And they tell me that the mobo is broken and want to take my money for the fix, bleh. Unquestionably, I declined that.
Hi. I have SM-G928F unlocked version and I've tried to root it. But it all went wrong. Now i can only get into download mode (vol down+home+power). when i try to boot it normally or into recovery i also get into download mode. I've tried flashing 2 firmwares form sammobile but no luck. I still can't get past download mode. I'm wondering is there few parts odin firmware to flash with pit file.
Phone doesn't turn off and just restarts into download mode. And i dont get samsung black screen of booting at all.
Please help:crying::crying:
I'm facing a quite similar problem, but my phone is a SM-G928G. I tried installing a theme and then everything went wrong. I'd be glad if anyone out there could lend us a hand.
Edit: Problem Solved. I downloaded my firmware on Sam Mobile and used Odin to start over. Thankfully I had made myself a back up before all this mess.
