Hi
I have a problem with my sgs.
Since yesterday the screen does not turn on anymore.
I tried everything. I even flashed a new firmware with odin. Nothing happens. Then the same with KIES but still the screen is black. The phone works. But with normal boot, download mode and recovery I can't see anything.
So now I wan't to try a full reset. And this is the point where I need your help. I flashed the speedmod kernel. And I want to boot into recovery and do a hardware reset.
Could anyone of you post screenshot from the recovery menu so I can navigate through it. And please tell me what vol up / down means in the navigation. That would be fantastic.
Thank you all for your help
hey dude can u tell on which rom where u in past before this happened??

Hi guys,
I recently tried to flash a rom on my phone and when the process was done, all I got was a black screen.
Fastboot still works and I can flash euro roms like on the tutorias fine but the phone simply wont boot.
I can go into emergency mode to flash in it in KDZ, the flashing works fine but still, the phone only displays a black screen.
When I press the power button it vibrates, the PC recognizes the device fine, so I know the phone isnt bricked, I just cant get it to display anything on the screen! please help!
Which rom did you try ?
Using swiftdroid RC4 2.0, but I found out what the problem was. Since on flashboot factory reset was in German, "reset und wipe" or something like that, I did not check it. Reflashed it and it is now working, the only problem is taht tehre are no boot animations whatsoever. only a black screen between pressing the button and going into android. any fix for that?
thank you for the replies!
EDIT: Also, by going into reboot > Recovery, nothing is displayed. this only happens on boot. I flashed originally with Euro+fast.kdz, and that is when this problem begun.
Flash this boot.img
and for the recovery, ace you installed??
I installed CWM for recovery, if that is what you asked.
Going to try to flash it and let you know, hope it does break anything
EDIT: nothing. No boot images. Going to leave it alone until I need it for something. I use an X10 mini, I just bought this phone for testing. Not liking the resistive screen!
you tried to flash an X10 with Rc4 ?
No, I have an X10 which is my default phone, I boght this optimus for testing, I flashed RC4 on the optimus, not the mini. not that stupid
You're not the only one with this problem, this will fix it.

Did you tried with another ROM ?
Yep, follow this... since I can't post links, I can't help......
Hi All,
I need your help. I downloaded the latest update for the S4 this morning after i clicked yes for the phone to reboot. It didn't turn back on. Everytime I try to turn it on, it vibrates but it doesn't show the logo. I also tried entering the recovery mode or download mode but there's nothing on the screen. I also tried removing the battery for several minutes and then tried the things i said above.
Is there any other way I can boot this or reformat my phone? Please help.
Thank you very much in advance
Same here.. I had the same problem.. I did try reset it and go to recovery mode, once on recovery mode, i can choose any option because it automatically goes back to install the update. And then after installation it stuck at the boot screen again and can't turn on. I had my phone rooted before but I already flash my phone back to stock. During the period where i root my phone i never install any custom ROM and whatsoever..

What I would do is go to ebay or online stores and buy a USB JIG it works perfect on Samsung Galaxy S4
and other android phones. The price is right too, anywhere from $1.00 to $5.00 including shipping.
Here is a link worth looking at:
https://www.google.com/search?q=andr...icial&tbm=shop
JIGS are made for issues just like the ones you and @lasallegreen are experiencing.
All you need to do with the jig is first remove the battery from your phone for
20 seconds and replace it, then plug the USB jig into the usb port of the phone.
Wait a couple seconds or so and you will see the download mode screen.
Unplug the usb jig and load/open odin and after putting the stock rom in the
pda slot in odin connect usb cable from phone to computer.
Make sure the [COM:xx] lights up in Odin and click START.
Once odin successfully flashes the official stock rom the
phone will again be in perfect condition ready to use.
Your phone is NOT hard bricked, but most likely it is soft bricked meaning that it can be fixed to
come back to life after Odin flashing the official Samsung S4 stock firmware/rom which you can
find and download from http://SamMobile.com by searching by the model number of your phone.
Good luck!
Will try this method.. Thank you very much for your kind reply.. Will let you know of the outcome..

i was able to flash the stock rom using odin to see if that is the problem. I was successful in flashing but there's still nothing on my screen.
update: when i leave it for a few hours or so, there are times that the screen turns on and then it boots normally but if you reboot it's back to its frozen state. I hope someone can help me with this.

if you get bootloop after flash just format data in recovery - all instructions on the thread
Edit: I fixed it. I had the old KK kernel on the phone storage, so I went into recovery and just flashed it. Everything works now
I downloaded the DorimanX OTA and the went to update my kernel via the app (long story short - it downloaded a LP kernel & I use a KK rom). The phone went to recovery and then the screen went black. Now when I try to turn it on (by holding the power button) I get the LG logo for a second or two, and then it returns to the black screen. I can access both the recovery and download mode.
Can someone please help me solve this issue by walking me through the steps I need to take to fix this, please? Should I just do a factory reset?

Hi,
I've looked everywhere before writing this so please forgive me as I saw there are a number of threads similar to this but couldn't find an answer.
Have rooted the phone a few days ago and flashed the Alexis Rom Oreo2.1S9PORT. As I had several apps that where acting up (no MIcrosoft Active Sync, no Outlook notifications among other things) I made a bit of a mess of it and decided to reset the phone by erasing all contents. As I went to boot up again the phone was in loop.
It goes on download mode and have tried with ODIN to reflash AP, BL, CP, CSC read everywhere looked on youtube but Odin fails each time. I've downloaded samsung drivers and firmwares to have Samsung Oreo back but to no avail.
Could someone please give me a hand in restarting the phone somehow? It's now in loop and I will wait until it dies down from battery failure as suggested in some threads in here.
Sorry to pester you.
Newbie...:crying:
latest ODIN screenshot. I don't know what more to try...please help...
Can you boot into Recovery Mode?
(Power off your phone, than hold: Bixby + volume up + power on button until you see the recovery mode)

No unfortunately. NOw the phone is battery drained.
THis is the Downloading mode. I can't think of what to do unfortunately. I've tried 3 or 4 firmwares as well.
Since I deleted through the phone system reset and not through TWRP (which I've now lost obviously) what would be the best way to reflash the mod (or the original Samsung one for that matter)?
ok I thought I made some progress, I've managed to reinstall TWRP and flashed again the Rom, Rom fix, and AOD fix. I was able to check the options of the Rom and the ROm installed succesfully. As I went to reboot I got stuck again in a loop with the SAMSUNG logo flashing continuosly. I can feel I'm close to a solution, could you point me in the right direction please?
The continuosly boot-loop could be the firmware doesnt match the Rom.
If you are game, try installing Renovate Ice: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ovate-ice-g950-g955-android-7-0-aqdg-t3598040
Click the orange colored RENOVATE ICE WEBPAGE link.
From the menu choose FIRMWARE, download and flash.
Then download and flash R.Ice rom - follow the How to Flash guide
