[q] stuck in bootloop sprint ls980 please help!!!!

OK to start off i am not a noob at this, i have read though the forms and cant seem to find out why my phone will not come out of this bootloop. This started happening 2 days ago when I went to install a new rom on my phone. I powered down my phone, put it in recovery (Twrp), I wiped everything but internal storage. I then processed to flash the new rom. Everything went great. My phone rebooted and worked fine for the first 1 min, when i tried to pull down the notification bar the phone stuck off and went into a bootloop. I then tried to go back to my old rom and had the same problem (notification bar would not pull down). So i went to plan B and used the Back To Stock Form to restore the phone back to stock. The process went smooth as well not a problem at all. When the phone started up it allowed me to set up the voice navigation and name of the phone, as i went to update the prl and profile the phone shut off again, when it turned back on it starts normally and the goes to the lock screen where i am unable to make any iterations with the screen at all besides when it turns the blacklight off, as i try to use the knock on the LED light turns white but the screen will not turn back on (not even with the power button). Then it reboots to the lockscreen again and continues to do it until i manually force it off. I have tried everything from redownloading the firmware files, tried back to stock 3 times, hard factory reset, and reset in recovery mode. My phone is back to stock but i am unable to do anything with it unless i factory reset and go though the set up again, but even then i cant get a connection (even with wifi) without the phone shutting off and rebooting. Everytime the phone reboots the time reads 12:00am and switches to 12:01 really quick. I cant get a connection at ALL (I EVEN TRIED REMOVING THE SIMS AND AND PUT IT BACK IN AFTER BACK TO STOCK PROCESS.)
Im not sure if the application Dr.Web could possibly be making my phone do this. I did have it installed and did not remove before I tried to switch to the new rom. The anti-theft part was active.
SOMEONE PLEASE BE MY HERO AND HELP........I REALLY WOULD HATE TO DEAL WITH LG ON THIS ISSUE IF I CAN FIX IT MYSELF
THANKS TO EVEYONE THAT SUPPORTS AN ANSWER

god that is really hard to read...did you make a back up before you do installation? if so do a restore, if you dint, download another rom, kernel, put it in your phone, wipe everything except internal storage via TWRP then flash rom then kernel.

I did make a backup before flashing the rom. when i tried to go back to it i had the same problem with it rebooting after a few mins. i tried flashing furnace 0.0.8 kernel after installing a fresh rom but same problem. I am back on factory recovery atm is there anyway to flash twrp back to the phone without it being rooted? i tried to get the computer to communicate with the phone when it turns on but it wont seem to connect unless im in download mode or recovery.

I had the same problem except with me, i was just trying to change fonts manually. It went into a bootloop and i stressed dover it for hours until finally i found out that you have to use the lg mobile support tool (you can find it in one of these threads on the lg g2) and revert it back to stock. That fixed it perfectly fine. Its a lengthy process but simple. If that doesn't work you have to do what the lg mobile support tool does semi-manually with another program lg flash tool which is longer but just as simple if you follow the directions given in the thread to the letter.

I tried the lg flash tool and it put my phone back to stock but still have the same problem. I also tried lg mobile support tool but it will not recongize my phone. I did happen to get into settings and seen that both my imei and baseband are unknown. Could this be causeing the proble m? is there any way to fix it?

Yes my phone turns on but doesnt stay on for long it will freeze and reboot i noticed my imei and baseband are unknown. Any idea what can be causeing that to happen? Could it cause the phone to reboot like it is? I am back on stock firmware again,. I did try debugging but still no luck, i was even luck enough to root it again before it rebooted but still didnt help.

**** thats not good at all. This happen when I was using my S3, if IMEI is gone then you could not use the phone at all, theres no way you can get it back unless you made a back up. you have to sent it in man, sorry this is as good as hard brick.

My friend also has a lg g2 that i rooted for him would i be able to use a backup from his phone. Also when i turn the phone conpletely off and hold down all 3 bottons it brings me to a hardware key settings it does shows my imei number there. If i sent it into lg would they know the phone was once rooted or does the back to stock method cover it up? Thanks for your help btw

they have coders there, I'm sure if they really want to know they can figure it out. If you send it in to get it fix out of your own pockets (meaning you pay them) then i'm sure they dont care, but if you want a replacement due to warranty then it may be a different story.

I eneded up restoreing my phone back to stock and took it into my local sprint store it cost ne 75 dollars to replace the phone not under warranty (if u have sprint protection its free) i told them i took and ota update and it started rebooting itself. If you do get a replacement make sure u back up your efs files to a safe place on your phone. Theses files can become corrupted by flashing roms and kernals.

Not under warranty? Doesn't it have a 1 year manufacturer warranty? The G2 wasn't released on Sprint until November last year so it should have been covered.

Yes its still under manufacturer warranty but when i made a repair order with lg it said it would take 2 to 3 weeks to get my phone back and if they found out it was due to being rooted and flashing roms im sure lg would of charged a arm a leg to repair it. With sprint i got a new phone in 2 days or ordering it.

Please help! Stuck on boot screen

I left my phone charging overnight as I have done many times with no issue. When I woke up I pressed the home button and the only thing that shows was my wallpaper. Wouldn't show anything else. I then did a battery pull. It now gets stuck at the note 4 powered by android screen. A little history in case it helps. This is an unlocked at&t model that I am using on t-mobile. It's not rooted or anything. A few weeks ago I downloaded the recent 5.0.1 small update. In the past week a notification keeps appearing and disappearing from the menu. It was dm software download or something which would disappear if I clicked it.
So it's stuck on the boot screen today. I booted in to the recovery screen. It starts by saying "installing system update" with the little android. Then it goes to recovery menu. At the bottom it says "dm-verity verification failed". I tried to wipe cache and reboot but it still gets stuck at the boot screen. Another small detail is after turning phone off if I plug it in the charger it stays at the grey lighting screen and does not show any battery percentage.
I don't know what to do. I really need my phone today as I am traveling. I hope someone can please help me. Thank you.

In the case u tried recovery now u should flash ur stock rom.

How do I flash the stock rom? Should I do that before trying a factory wipe/reset? I haven't tried that because I really dont want to erase everything unless I have to.

When u do the flashing everything in your device will be lost. So if u do the flashing then u just need to backup all your data.
---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------
First u have to download your stock rom

Anyone else have any ideas? I really have no clue how to flash the stock rom. Is there a guide I can follow? Thanks

Just google your device name flashing

I would suggest you start download stock as already mentioned by previous mentor
Than try to make a factory reset from recovery while stock is downloading. In case factory reset all your apps and settings will be gone but your data stay untouched.
If positive with factory reset no need to flash stock anymore

I just tried doing factory reset/date wipe and it's still getting stuck at the boot screen. I guess I need help now to flash the stock rom. Again I have never done this so I appreciate it if someone has or could find a simple guide for me. I just don't want to download the wrong file and mess phone up even more. It's an at&t model SM-N910A. Thanks again

How long did you wait after wiping? For lollipop its normal after wiping to see nothing but Samsung boot up logo up to 20 minutes

In response to above. It did the date wipe/reset which did it in like 5 seconds. I rebooted and left it on the boot screen for about 3 minutes. I should wait longer then? Another thing I was going through kies to see if anything could help. I ended starting a firmware upgrade. I entered my model # and S/N#. It then asked me to go to recovery and made it to a screen with an android, "downloading do not turn off target". That's loading now and i'll see what happens. I also checked on google and it looks like there is a program called odin that will flash the stock rom. I need to find that program and also find the stock rom file to download?

Yep. Google for Odin, download and extract it on your PC. You'll need to download a stock firmware from Sammobile for your device. It will be as Archiv so extract it. In Odin click on AP and choose extracted file.

Another update. The firmware upgrade through kies went through fine. It booted up like normal afterwards. I didn't know it would happen but I am back to kit kat 4.4.4 as well. I wasn't too thrilled with lollipop so maybe that isn't a bad thing.

[Q] At my wits end

tl;dr phone is in some kind of bootloop, tried flashing stock firmware (successful but can't get past start splash screen), plz halp me
So I was just simply browsing on my phone on reddit is fun app, some Google Chrome sites, and 9gag. So then I saved a gif on 9gag and the phone just gives up on me. It went straight to shut down without any warning whatsoever and proceeded to restart. Thinking that it was just an unusual one time thing, the phone kept rebooting and I started really getting worried. I kept getting the Samsung Galaxy S4 splash screen and after that a black screen and then it vibrated twice and I saw the splash screen again. Didn't even get to see the menu for SafeStrap. After several unsuccessful attempts, I finally accessed SafeStrap after restarting the phone from download mode pressing the volume down button. To make as much precious time as I had, I made a backup (although I checked enable compression which I shouldn't have but I didn't have a lot of space on my SD card) and made an advanced wipe cleaning everything except the SD card. I then proceeded to flash a different custom ROM (GoldenEye if you were wondering) and hoped that it was just a custom ROM error that kept giving bootloops. No such luck. The different ROM didn't even help. So I went back to SafeStrap and made another advanced wipe. At this point, I decided to flash stock firmware via Odin from this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/guide-odin-to-stock-updating-rooting-t2926642) with NB1 base. I remember having flashed the non-rootable version successfully and restarted the phone after that. Got past the Samsung Galaxy S4 splash screen and went all the way to ATT splash screen but then it crashed right there. After that, I couldn't figure out the problem and I couldn't flash any more stock firmware (at least from that link) via Odin because I kept getting a fail notice. I asked this question on reddit and the responses kept saying that I may have a defective power button but it doesn't stay shut down and instead bootloops. Should I try to find a new GS4, get another phone or try sammobile firmwares next to see if there's any luck? I really need to save this phone as it is super dear to me. I'm at the point where I can cry right now :crying:
If you guys need any pictures or videos, I will be more willing to do so

I'd say try redownloading the firmware and make sure your cable is good, try a back USB port, etc. I'd guess the firmware files didn't download properly and so it didn't flash properly. Before you do anything though, try going into stock recovery and wiping everything you can from there.

Thank you for the reply. As for the firmware, where should I acquire them? The link I posted has only one firmware (NB1) and I cannot access stock recovery AT ALL. When I do, I can see the blue text in the corner "Recovery booting..." and then the phone restarts again. This is really frustrating

NB1 is the only one you can get, just try downloading either one again.

When you plug in the phone in Download Mode, does the blue box in Odin light up? If not, reinstall samsung drivers

Stuck in bootloop after un-installing Flipboard

I'm usually fairly good at troubleshooting my own stuff but this really has me stuck in the same place for a few hours now.
So basically Flipboard has been nagging me(well play store is, not the app itself but anyway) so I said to myself why don't I uninstall it since I've never used it and don't plan to, and besides I hate to have pointless apps installed. So I open TitaniumBackup and I see it is installed as a system app, I thought what's the worst that can happen? so I do uninstall it and a minute later my phone shuts off. I try to turn it on and it doesn't go past the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 flash screen, it either reboots or stays like that.
I try to go into recovery to restore a backup and I can't, it is stuck at Recovery Booting and again it either stays like that or reboots and does it again and again and again.
Now, I haven't made any changes or installs on my phone for weeks now, so this is either because I unistalled Flipboard(I know I shouldn't have risked it since it was a system app but I really could not see it going this way) or the hardware is on it's way out(don't see what else could it be).
I figured I should flash a stock rom with odin, I can get into download mode, and reinstall everything from scratch.
I took a stock image from xda and flashed it and it does exactly the same thing.
Right now I'm downloading another stock image from sammobile for my country/provider to see if this will change anything.
What else can I try? I'm completely stuck and I really don't want to send the phone back like this, I doubt amazon is gonna be happy about it.
Specs:
N910F
Emotion Revolution 12.1 Rom
POK1 BL&CP
TWRP 2.8.7.0

Really sorry for the double-post. I'm quite desperate and need my phone for work.
Since last post I've tried flashing N910FXXU1COH4_N910FH3G1COH3_H3G.zip through Odin from SamMobile and it did the same thing with rebooting constantly.
Then I've installed Kies and went to Tools -> Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation and gave it the model and S/N and it downloaded something and everything went all right, the phone reboots and I'm back in the same circle, it just shows me the splash screen(in some video's I've seen that after this procedure they get the splash screen and then the android bot with a progress bar, I don't get that, I only get the splash screen and reboot) and reboots.
I thought this was a last resort thing? Is the phone completely dead or is there something I can try?
Again sorry for the double-post.
Update: still no progress so I've contacted Amazon and they said to send it back so hopefully this works out in the end, no matter how annoying the waiting time will be, if you do have any suggestions on what I should try please let me know as I haven't posted the phone yet.

Note 4 hard brick which resolves on its own

Hi everyone
I own a galaxy note 4 n910g running 5.0.1 rooted and have installed TWRP
I have pretty much learned about rooting and everything i know from youtube and various other how to do posts
I have been facing a peculiar problem
I had over heating issues and i found that indexservice was the culprit and disabled it...did not have the issue again
I had emmc read failed error again and again - i disabled the facebook app - i did not receive the error again - i do not know how to explain that, but i feel that is an observation that i made
So now the real issue
I am unable to go into recovery mode.
If i restart the mobile the mobile behaves as if it is hard bricked- Literally no response at all
I keep pressing all the hard keys in different combinations, but nothing seems to work at all
Now Here is the interesting fact
I remove the battery for bout six hours and try restarting it - it works
But if i switch off my mobile or try to go into recovery mode - my phone just becomes a brick for about 8- 12 hours
and i have to go through the tedious process of waiting
i m really stuck here -
i am unable to go into recovery mode to flash my rom
Neither am i able to restart my phone - so i have a charger in pocket always worrying when my phone would go poof
i am sick of this
i just want to flash my rom to the stock android and be happy with it
I have been reading a lot of ways to unbrick my mobile - i am unable to find it
This has been troubling me for atleast 20 days
i really hope if someone would be kind enough to put me out of my misery
can someone help me find what is the problem with my phone
and how to fix it
Thanks guys for taking the time to read this

same here

And the fact is System partition detected, recovery partition detected, boot partition detected, but All about Data or Internal Storage were UNDETECTED...
Really, both of us need some help.. :crying:

Entering Recovery mode bricks phone for 8 hours? Feeling sorry for you guys. But i don't understand why phone needs 6 hours after battery is removed to come back to sense and work? Anyway, have you tried accessing the download mode, If yes just download a stock rom and flash it with odin.

Okay, i'll try that STOCK..
Have you any suggestion whether i should "repartition" it or not??
As my internal storage and data partition weren't detected (unreadable)

Give a try without repartitioning. Good luck.

Hi harishjkhv,
If you are able to reboot after 6 hours by removing the battery, then try to reboot into download mode by using any super user app.
Then try to flash the stock firmware using Odin.

I've try flashing stock MM ROM from samfirmware with repartition checked..
But before i do that, i set my phone off while battery pulled out of the phone and charged separately using universal dock charger for 3 days..
My phone successfully boot and even i use for daily gaming like before, but the problem still remains..
Sometimes my phone got freeze (ended up with SOD), and when i pulled the battery off and on again, i failed to turn my phone on..
It have to wait for at least an hour without a battery..
And sometimes it says "ddi : mmc read failed" , no boot..
EDIT : oh yeah i forgot one thing, someone on the other forum encountering the same problem and suspect the power IC or mmc itself as the culprit..
And i myself think maybe because of overheating (on me is for games) those component became improperly attached to the curcuit board,and as the result is this hardbrick issues.. Will try some experiment..
I'll post here the result..

Its a software issue. I had the exact same issue with my T-Mobile version SM-N910T. I was able to resolve it by using ODIN to install the stock EPE3 along with the modem of COD6. After the phone restarted I placed the phone in download mode again and from there went on ODIN to install the EPE3 modem. After the phone restarts it should boot straight to the home screen.

Thanks guys. ..
Tried a lot of things
Nothing seemed to work...
I gave my phone to the service centre and they replaced my mother board
Cost me a lot. ..but still note 4 is worth it
Thank you guys for taking the time to help me and for your inputs

Do by a lot experiments, I've got some result that the Chips is already in the verge of death..
So replacing motherboard is the only solution for now, if someone having a same problem..
But, I hope no one encountering this problem anymore..
