After a unsuccessful update my focus stuck on samsung logo and now won´t power up ! any ideas ??? thanks all
Mine is doing the same but it shows the Samsung logo and rebooted. If you have warranty or insurance. That would be the way to go

Put the Focus in download mode (press vol up+camera+power at the same time) and flash a ROM from Focus WP7 forum here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131022
also, try replacing the sd card as it could be an issue.

In my case I flashed a rom from that forum and got the same result, then I removed my SD card and tried to flash the same rom and got the same infinite boot at Samsung screen too.

Seems you need an USB jigger. Look for it on eBay or Google cheap

I am having the same issue.
My phone won't reset to factory settings at all so I tried UCJK2, Rogers ROM and everything I could but no matter what I do, it installs fine and then keeps rebooting on that white Samsung Logo.
After every rom I gave it at least 30 minutes and it kept rebooting on that Samsung logo. Anybody able to recover from that boot loop?
I use USB jigger and nothing , it seems i need a motheboard ! but the sellers on ebay don´t delivery in Brazil ! so if anybody need my parts we can talk about ! many thanks to all guys !
Had a similar situation. When i first received my focus, it seemed to work ok. First thing after initial boot, I attempted to load a 16gb sandisk micro sdhc card, using the steps outlined in the users manual. Phone froze up during installation. Afterwards, I was stuck in the samsung logo loop. I searched the forms and tried every possible remedy. (hard reset, download mode etc.) Was able to attain a bit of progress by removing the memory card and hard reseting the phone using the original 8gb of storage, but that only worked for a few hours, then went back to samsung logo loop.
I eventually sent my focus to samsung. It took them nearly a month, and 3 'pba replacements' (which i assume is the main board), but it was finally fixed. Not sure if the memory card caused all that. They were able to retrieve the phone's warranty based on the IEMI #. No other documentation required.
my LG Optimus 7 stuck in error page "Memory card not working"
phone say that my memory cannot been detect...
previously i restart several time n became normal again. but this time can't.
only have 2 choice emergency or turn off...

anyone face similar error?? have solution for this??
really need some help here...
硬刷rom。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
already try "cold boot" still face same problem...
Could you get your problem fixed? I wouldn't mind replacing the memory card... but it is SOLDERED to the board. Any idea what I can do? Do I need to send it in for warranty?

Ok i will show what i done to make it work.
1. Remove Sim card.
2. Turn on phone
IF it show "Memory card not working" go to step 3
3. Turn off phone.
Hold Camera button and press Power button.
Phone will show image connect phone to pc. when you connect you can recovery phone from last backup.
But dont do that.
Just hold power button til phone off.
4. Now turn on phone again. If it pass, it will boot to norman, but without Sim card. it Will show Sim error.
Leave it at this. and connect to Zune. and make update.
Note. Phone will random reboot when connect to Zune.
I retry 4 step above until Zune update it to OS 7.10.8107.79 and my phone work well after that.
Note2. You can try flash phone to stock Mango be for do 4 step above.
I use LG-E900AT-00-V10p-234-15-SEP-02-2011+0_DZ to flash my phone.
ok thanks, now it makes more sense, but I'm stuck on trying to get how you want to update, if phone is already up to date??????
anyways, i can't try it right now, because my phone is on repair, and I'm shure they'll last a month. I got the big probability, that I won't get the phone repaired in warranty, because they'll see that its Vodafone Brand instead of OPN. so i'll try your method. I don't think the phone is phisically damaged, it doesn't make any sense, an SD card is hard to damage. what I suspect, is that there's some fragmentation problem, and the memory card need some sort of scandisk or format. Sincé its not posible doing it manually, the way of reflashing or updating the phone, seems to make the job. my only fear is, what will happen if the phone reboots during the process, but It wont happen if its only a fragmentation issue.
Is it still covered by warranty? Send it to service and don't bother. And if they can't repair it, ask for money back.
I got my Optimus from service (rebooting) - it was fine for a month and starts reboot again. I bought it one year ago and under European law I still have one year more. I expect to get my money back because what I see it is just factory fail, no qualify for repair.
LG fixed the phone for me, but they screwed up with the ambient light sensor (didn't work anymore). So they gave me a new mainboard...

Thanks for posting this, I fixed the memory card issue using the above steps. However, I encountered the same issue again a day later, but again it was fixed using the above steps. This seems to be software related issue and not hardware as if it was hardware issue I shouldn't be able to fix it using the above steps.
I am going to try and revert back to previous Windows phone version.
This is hardware error. Nothing can help.

Hi are you able to fix the problem ??
i got the same problem...
please help me
Please help
hello
can you please tell me what stock rom is
I had this problem befor 4 days and i become veru angri. I put it in the desk. Today I tried to turn on the phone again and surpriсе. It works again, without problems or crashes. It has fixed from himself without my intervention. Sorry for my bed English
This is a hardware problem !!
All the solutions given above will work, but only for a short period of time.
When you try to download apps to your phone and reach a certain amount of memry usage, the error will come back again.
Been there, tried this ! The only real fix is to send your phone to LG. I got it back and it was working again :good:

Nope. I really don't know what rom it was running, because ordered this off Ebay.

I wonder if your USB port is bad and maybe it's rebooting due to low battery?

Nope. USB Port is not bad. And Battery is Fully Charged.
Did you tried the goldcard method,

give it a try, I'm optimistic for possitive results
but don't forget to use samsung stuffs instead of htc
good luck

This is why I wondered about the USB port.
Same story, after many reboots i was able to boot into OS. Strangely, removing the battery and waiting for a couple of minnutes (maybe more) seems to do the trick. The phone boots up and you can really use it... until the next reset. Installing all the updates - to mango - was a pain in the posterior... and the phone works.. sort of.
I think that these phones are just faulty and if there is a way to return them - do it.
Hi All,
Like the title says it keeps freezing and rebootig every 1 to 2 mins. did a factory reset on it but didn't help. Also tried firmware update through Samsung Kies but didn't help. Cant even go through the initial setup because it just keeps restarting. I also tried the new Thailand FW on it through Odin but same thing Phone is from Hong Kong and its running the latest Kong Kong FW which was installed through Kies.
I've removed the sd card and also the sim card but still no go Any thought?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
PS: no rooting was done on it and it's running the original recovery with statuss "official"

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?

I tried to give it to Samsung, and look what I've got:
They told me to look for support in the country I bought the phone.
This is ridiculous. It's a shame.
That's when I regret changing my iPhone for a Galaxy.
