IMO...maybe it called SOD or Screen Of Death and in simple word is "bricked"
But you said thay you can go to download mode right?
If yes...try to flash it one more time with your default firmware.
But if still doesn't work at all, try to contact your local service center...my friend also had the same problem like you and he brought it to Samsung Service Center...

Please tell me what to do, I dont have sound please please

Your phone is not bricked but semi-bricked. It happend with me as well. Just pull the battery out, while inserting the battery keep pressing buttons for download mode. You should see download mode and reflash.

I dont live in the US so I cant contact Samsung or ATT
I cant move to Download mode with voldown+home+power, each time I do it i see the ATT logo and the phone reset itself again untill I will stop trying to go to download mode or recovery mode

Are you sure you are doing it right?
Correct order of doing it is:
Take battery off, wait 10 sec, put it back on.
Press vol down
While pressing vol down, press home
While pressing both above, press power and release after it starts.

I think you don't release the power button after the boot. If you push for a long time the power button it reset like the power button of the pc.

[Q] Bricked Phone, Cannot Enter Recovery or Download

I appear to have bricked my phone while trying to get back to stock firmware. I am using a galaxy s4 on verizon with windows 8 for reference. My problem is I cannot enter download or recovery mode. When I try to enter either of them it flashes for a second and then disappears. After that I have to remove the battery because the phone won't respond. The same thing happens on a normal boot so I am stuck. Also I am noticing that the phone boots up on it's own when I put the battery it. Could the power button be stuck or something? What can I do to get the phone back to working order?
POWER BUTTON FIX: Ok after some more research I found this which solved my power button problem (Can't insert the youtube video until I have 10 posts) but you basically flick the top and bottom of the phone near the power button to fix it.
Now I am able to go into recovery and download modes

Your power button is stuck. Either replace it or try to wiggle it loose.

Because recovery takes longer to boot thus it will reboot before it enters recovery.

[Q] ZC520TL - Recover half-brick Zenfone Max 3

Hello to everyone,
I received a system notification this morning which was telling me that there was a new software update for the Zenfone 3 Max. So I've clicked on it to update the system, and, during the update, something went wrontg and it "crashed", rebooting in a strange korean (?) screen:
Now I can't boot properly the Zenfone and if I try to move inside the screen it just changes some english text from eMMC or FM to BT or GPS. It's like it is doing a device check and something isn't working.
It can't be turned off, so I just let the battery go dead to see if this would fix the issue.
I've charged it while it was switched off, and after a couple of minutes it turned on with the same korean (?) screen. I've also tried the hard reset by keeping pressed the power on button, but it only went off.
The last thing I've tried is to connect it via USB on my laptop while it is in this strange screen and checked that is recognised by the ADB. I've never unlocked the bootloader or ever rooted this model, so the response of the command "adb devices" is a model and the text "Unauthorized".
Is it something that I can actually do? I'd like to try an hard reset or force it to go in recovery mode and try to reinstall the firmware... but since the device is "unauthorized" I'm not sure that it will let me flash the firmware...
Do you have any advice on how to handle this situation?
Thanks in advance
(I do apologize for my grammar mistakes)

My English is really really bad, so try to understand this
Frst if ur phone is hang or stock in any ways u can reboot or power it off by pressing the power button for atleast 10 sec. Press and hold.
Second u can reinstall the firmware in any case even if ur phone is dead.
Frst u need to install the usb driver
https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=...AFIAVgC&v=y-oDWXbhiC0&mode=NORMAL&app=desktop
Then u can reinstall the firmware using the following files
https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PL4PNn1kmbOalk-kuEUO3hrJWA9hOAzl9Z&v=rh2m1Pgof2s and u need the latest firmware updates in zip.
U can get from here

I hope u can figure it out.
We have the same phone model so it should work for you.

First of all, thank you for the explanation, as far as I've searched this seems to be the "factory mode" screen of the asus zenfone max 3 with the chinese language setted... And the fact is that this mode is used for test purposes only, in fact if I randomly choose any option it just seems to test a random phone function. Anyway, I've tried to reboot it by choosing the 8th option, which is supposed to reboot the phone normally, and it kept on going in that screen again. I've also tried to reboot by forcing the reboot via (Vol Down + Power) buttons together.. and for my bad luck it still resets in this "factory mode".
I watched the video and not sure about it because I'm not familiar with SP Flash Tool: does my zenfone needs to have the bootloader unlocked? or it should have been rooted? Will I be able to flash the firmware while the phone is in the status, even if in ADB devices it is shown as "Unauthorized" ?
I'm asking all these questions because I've never done any firmware operations on this smartphone, I've only made ordinary system updates.
Thanks in advance for your patience and your attention!

Pressing volume down + power is going to that screen. I dont know if Chinese or Korean
Pressing volume up + power key for default recovery mode screen,
Press and hold the power key is for normal boot.
I dont know if zen3max need a bootloader unlock.
Because im able to install a custom recovery in my zen3max and my phone is rooted and im able to install back the stock recovery so i dont get any trouble Everytime i received a notification update.
Well if u r worried. Get another smartphone and use the google translator with the camera to translate that Chinese language on ur zenfone 3 max. Maybe u can find the format option or clear cache blah blah blah.

When you said that volume down + power key is the combo of keys to press to go in that screen... it kinda rang me a bell: recently my smartphone fell and it got damaged on the right edge, causing the volume down button to get inside the cover, and now it is like unpushable... I've never powered off my zenfone until I had to do this system update. So I thought that probably there isn't anything wrong with the firmware, it just keeps going in factory mode each time I try to power it on due to the fact that the volume down seems to be pressed all the time. So I decided to contact the ASUS support team to give it to them and let them repair the buttons.
Thanks for the info!

so must be thats the problem boot looping​ in to that screen because the volume down is broken. I guess.
Well thats the best u can do to fix it.
