Hello guys, I bought a A500 few days ago and I was trying to delete some native applications when suddenly the tablet turned off and started to show a image of a android bug with the stomach open and a red triangle with a exclamation mark inside, I have tried to reset by the small hole and the power and volume sequence, but so far nothing happend. I think that I changed some kind of permission while trying to delete the applications. Isn't there anyway to revert this action? Any kind of recovery mode or something like that? It is 4 AM here and I'm desperate, I can't do anything. It only turns on and starts to show the little bug and then turns off, and turn on again. I tried to connect it to the computer but It doesn't recognize it.
Any guess?

Yep. You fubarred it. Hope you made a recovery backup? Cause you will need your UID number. Go to the dev forum, and check the thread on getting your UID. First page so you can't miss it. Only other option is to get an update.zip, copy to ext SD, and boot holding volume -, and then pwr and see if it installs.
I assume you are stock rooted? Or did you install an updated unlocked ics boot loader?
if you have a card reader put the sd in it and place the update.zip through windows , then reboot into cwm and install ,if you dont have recovery , do the trick with protrait mode that should help you get back to where you need to be , I formatted my sd though the card reader ,but you dont have to
Hey guys, thank you very much for the help! I flashed a stock ROM that I found here by putting the update.zip file on a external SD card and pressing power and -volume at the same time. Now I'll just have to update to ICS.

No problem.
Do us a favor though, get your UID number before you go messing around with ICS and unlocked bootloaders. Write it in a safe location. On the box or on your pc.
Or go over to the DEV section and READ ALL THE INFO YOU CAN! Pretty much anything by MD,Civato,Skrillax,blakthdr ,vache and Thor if you can find him, thats not all of them though
Where is the tutorial to get the UID number? I can't find it in the dev forum.

I got my gorgeous note 3 this morning and when i updated the phone with all my settings google play started to install my apps
Half way through the phone rebooted and got stuck in a reboot cycle
I couldnt stop the cycle so ended up hard resetting it via volume up power and home (or was it volume down !)
I then found that non of my apps would install even manually i got error 920
I worked out why and removed the device from my play device list
I then installed app of my apps and rebooted the phone to make sure nothing was lurking in the memory after i had installed them
I got stuck in a cycle again and had to pull the batter
I replaced the battery and it carried on
I ended up taking my battery out for 10 mins and then it turned on normally
I tested again and once again it started the reboot cycle
I have spoken to clove technology who advised me to return the phone for a replacement which i have done
my question is has anyone had this issue ? any ideas what caused it ??
The phone was hot but not boiling hot .. i thought it might be a rogue app but it did it again on my next reset with no apps
Love the phone but dissapointed with the handset i got - fingers x the next one is perfect
Thanks in advance

My note 3 did it without the charger plugged in .
It was stock uk firmware completely untouched
I have the same issue. I have found that it is because of conflict between some apps (app), micro sd and sim card. If I put off the micro sd, its ok. If i turn on "Flight mode", its ok too. And when i have wiped my device it was ok too (with sd inserted) untill i had installed my apps (I have more than 300 of them, so its very difficult to identify, which of them causes this problem).
Hope together we will solve this problem

Its not just an app fault. I think its because of a conflict between app-microsd-sim. I have installed all my apps to internal memory, and wthout sd or when turning on flight mode before rebooting (with sd connected) - its ok. But when sd is connected, all apps are instaled and 3g is on - it causes rebbot cycle.

I'll test with installing all apps with no sad card
I'll report back
Thanks
I had the same issue and done a few tests.
What I can say is :
- when i used the phone for the first time there was no problem (SIM + SD CARD + 3G)
- when i updated the preinstalled apps (SIM + SD CARD + 3G) there was no problem
- once i installed all my apps reboot issue appeared.
I tried with or without SD CARD => No change
I tried with and with SD CARD but 3G off (Plane Mode) => No loop boot issue !
I thought maybe it was one of my apps so i restarted the phone in "Secured Mode", 3G on => reboot problem appeared again.
So this is a system (or maybe preinstalled and updated) app that's causing problem.
I think that only an updated firmware can resolve this.
One thing sure is that the booting time of this phone is really fast, about 10 sec after the Samsung logo.
So for now when i need to reboot i put the phone in plane mode first, expecting Samsung to correct this (I hope this is not an hardware issue or something fishy regarding the carrier zonning).
Anyway despite this issue i'am really glad to have this phone and haven't any regret buying it !

1- Backup your SD and External SD card
2- Format your External SD card without removing it from the phone.
3- Restart your phone in stock recovery mod
4- Wipe Data/Cache

THANX NANI !
I tried copying apps from external to internal.. no dice..
BUT this.. this works for me.. take sim card out boot phone up and put it in airplane mode.
Power down then insert sim card boot up.. presto.. boots properly..
If I forget to put it in airplane mode before reboot I just repeat this step.. works for me 100% of the time I tried it at least 5 times..
This will be fixed with a firmware update.. I too have a UK version... untouched.. imported.. I'm in Australia.

we shouldnt have to do this , it should work out of the box without trying to get it to reboot without the loop
not impressed but hope samsung fix this asap
i have my second handset coming tomorrow , im going to install all of my apps on my handset before i install my memory card and see if that sorts it without the boot loop .. if not its going back for a refund and im getting something else (Not sure what else as nothing beats this beast)
Question for you guys and ladies who are having the issue what size memory card are you using ??
Notice that henklbr is using a 64gb memory card ... is everyone else ??
wonder if its an issue with the memory card size ??
another question did you all hve your memory card in when you were installing apps ??
has anyone tried to install without the card and then put it in once installed
i wonder if its to do with some of the apps going onto the memory card
its damn annoying and i hope samsung hurrys up and sorts it as i dont want to jump through hoops to restart my expensive smart phone

I am not rooted , do i wipe data and cache in the power up menu (power, home and volume up (or is it down) ???
never been rooted so have never seen wipe data cache before if you can help
I am not rooted too so you have to follow these steps
1- take the battery out ( just to make it happen correctly for next step)
2- Hold down the power + Vol. down + home button till you see samsung logo
3- Let go all the buttons and you will see a screen in black lying down android with exclamation mark on belly
4- From there you will have to move down the cursor with vol. down button and when the cursor is on wipe data / cache push the power button.
5- Say yes with the same type movements
6- Now you formatted your whole system and delete everything
7- Hope works for you and enjoy..

Do u have a memory card in ? If so what size ? If u did , did u install your apps with the card in ?
I wonder if it's a memory card issue
As there's not boot loop on "plane mode", I tried to reboot with "plane mode off" but without the SD Card => phone goes in boot loop.
So I tried withoud the SD Card and without the SIM Card => phone made 2 reboot before being able to stabilize.
So, after a hard reset, there's no issue even with SD card and SIM inserted ... But after software update and apps installed, phone goes insame ...
As SIM Card and SD Card are using the same slot, maybe there a "memory conflict" ... Something that could be related to the firmware (as from a fresh start there's no problem).

Something isn't right .. We shouldn't have to use flight mode to reboot
By the luck of it flight mode is the only safe way to do it.

my galaxy s4 is always boot looping into Samsung galaxy s4 screen. only the download mode screen appears but it reboots again after 5 seconds and keeps on rebooting . any help ?
Do you run with stock or custom recovery? Have you tried to (re-)flash a custom recovery (CWM highly recommended)?

Hm, if I understand you correctly, you can boot into download mode but it just lasts a couple of seconds before it reboots on its own, right? You cannot boot into recovery as the screen simply stays black. Can you boot successfully into /system or does it bootloop as well?
Sounds like a hardbrick to me, the only thing I can think of before sending your phone in for repair is to pull out the battery for 1 hour or so, reinsert it and boot directly into download mode and see if it stays there. If it does, flash a custom recovery using Odin and check whether you can boot into it afterwards.

Im also having the same problem as of this last night.
cannot boot into recovery.
boots to download mode first screen but when I attempt to press volume up to accept, it reboots.
as soon as i put the battery in it cycles through the samsung logo.
tried removing memory card but didnt help.
tried keeping battery out overnight, nothing.

I'm, I was actually, on stock everything, rom, kernel and recovery

OK so I left my phone without a battery in it for the afternoon, just got back home and gave it a try.
It booted. No idea why or what actually went wrong.
Lets hope it doesn't happen again!
OK, So the point that the phone just start booting just the moment the battery is inserted got me thinking
IS IT THE POWER SWITCH?
and indeed it's, the power switch is stuck on, although I can feel the click when I push, still, seems like something is wrong with it
so I tried to suck it out, hit the phone softly few times while the power switch is facing the ground
inserted the battery, aaaand, it didn't start booting, pressed the power softly, and horaaaaay, it's working
Had the same issue and indeed I knocked the power button several times and it worked very well. Thank you! You saved my day

I have similar problem... and identified its power button.
How i identified is as phone switched on i hold menu button and volume down button together and
it booted in download mode, for download mode you have to keep pressing power button, volume
down button and menu button but it went without pressing power button.. so i assume that its power
button.
Try it... hope will identify your problem
same Problem
Hello!
I have the same problem, and disassemble the cell and saw that the button will operate properly .
Someone has managed to get out of this problem?
thanks a lot... i was facing same problem... i hit ma phn near power switch...again n again... it worked... love u xda
whoa, I just got this problem recently, because some of bezel around my phone has cracked, then I try to glue it roughly.
at the other hand, I tried to install new kernel. I tought that kernel make my phone bricked. then I found this thread. so I open my case. and found my glue sticked to the power button, remove it and. voilaaaa~
thank you XDA. you never cease to amaze me. lol
Hello i have been freaking out and researching this for hours. (found nothing)
What I did
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9gL_4KNs_Q
I have T-Mobile.
Now when my phone boots up it keeps shutting off. stays on for 1-5 seconds
I then did a factory reset and cleared the cache.
I can some times get it to the home screen and flip back and forth on the different screens then it shuts off. I have seen I have superuser on in the apps but don't get a lot of time to check root before it shuts off.
I do have red text on the Samsung logo screen that says "kernel is not seandroid enforced" (Spelling)
What do I do?
Safe mode also shuts off.
I can get to download mode and recovery mode
I just cant get it to stay on .
Any help would be great thanks.
Additional info
Update more info: When I factory reset. I do get an error failed to mount /preloader (no files or directory) wording might be a bit off but that's about what it says.
does it restart in recovery/download mode?
does it restart when the plug in into a charger?

I guess I should have changed the wording. Its not rebooting it just shuts off.
No It does not restart when I charge it. But it does show the battery image and charges.

me too, if it doesnt reboot while charging means possible battery issue.

Sorry for the miss communication.
Lets try this again.
I can plug the phone in and it charges while its turned off. you know the battery screen.
I can volume up, home and power For down load mode
I can volume down home and power (factory reset, cache delete so on)
I can get ODIN to connect but I cant flash the firmware I found. Maybe its the wrong firmware? Could you point me to what I need?
But when I just turn it on either charging or not it shuts it self off a few seconds later. Seems to happen after a message about auto time and date pops up. And when I say shuts down it just shuts off no like shut down screen or anything.
ok start again, please put all info so it wont be confusing:
what initiate the problem?
did you install a custom rom?
are you rooted?
what phone model are you using?
odin version?
have you tried flashing thru samsung switch? if not, try it

Update:
I just got my phone back from Samsung. On Friday they told be they didn't fix it because it was rooted and said they are mailing it back. Well now I don't have a phone so I Saturday I went and got a new s7 edge from t mobile. Its now Wednesday and I get my phone from Samsung. I open the package all bummed wondering what I am going to do with this phone. I then see the phone is in a small blue draw bag thing I thought it was cool so I open it to look at it and I see my phone light it. The sim card and tray on taped to the back of the phone but my phone is on! I then sat here looking at it waiting for it to reboot. I put my sim card. Then a screen popped up saying reboot? and I click yes . I was so mad at myself but then it restarted and everything was ok. I installed root checker and I have root access. the phone has now been on for the last hour or so. Not sure if it was something Samsung did or taking the sim card out did something.
But now I have a rooted s6 edge plus rooted and a s7 edge. and out like 600 bucks
Best solution, use Samsung's Smart Switch software (download from their site) and restore to factory ROM and kernel (official Samsung version). If it is anything software related, this will definitely fix it.
in case you dont know the steps: open smart switch, connect device (make sure its detected), got to more > emergency software recovery & initialization > Device initialization > type in your exact model name at the bottom > then serial number (make sure you type it correctly > type ok, follow instructions, and let it do its thing .
Try this and let me know how it goes. Good luck.
its kernal issue try to flash a different kernal available for edge+
My Galaxy S8 stopped working altogether. It won't turn on or charge. The only thing I can do is open up download mode but only if the phone is plugged in. Trying to boot into safe mode just ends up in a loop where the phone tries to restart. The phone is only discovered on my laptop while in download mode and even then, it shows up as a "modem" with the name MSM8998, which is the chip. I figure if I can get it into recovery mode (which I'm attempting through adb and by hitting the buttons), I may be able to wipe the cache partition and boot normally. If anyone knows how to do this or just any idea on how to recover the media files on the internal storage, it'd be much appreciated

Yeah that's probably a good guess...going to a repair shop tomorrow so hopefully that's the case. Didn't know if the whole system was just shot.

Mine wouldnt boot anything. Other than download mode while plugged in. It was bootlooping and everything just out of nowhere. Its better to make sure that first. If you have a power failure during flash it could cause more damage and corruption

I don't think the battery is the culprit. I installed a new battery and the same issue persisted. I'm trying to figure out how to try to flash the stock rom now but no luck so far.
