Hello, I have a problem with my tablet.
Yesterday I installed the ROM "Prime 1.4" with NVFLASH and I realized that the power button worked 1 out of 10.
This morning my tablet rebooted continuously without booting android, just boot animation.
To stop that, I held the power button and volume down to enter the recovery CWM but CWM not responding, I can not reboot my tablet, I tried to do a hard reset but it does not work, I do not know if it was because my power button has problems or if the tablet does not work at all.
Do you have any idea what can I do? I could bring it back to my dealer for my trade but it would remove recovery screen.
Thank you in advance for your solutions!
PS: Sorry for my bad english
Sounds like you had a "bad" flash. Try re-flash the ROM again.
I can't doing anything, i've CWM on the screen but it is blocked ... :/
You don't need CWM. You can re-flash follow this guide.
If you can't shutdown the device. Let your battery drain 100% and then charge it 50% and try again.
Yes but I can't exit from CWM, to reflash with NVFLASH I need to shutdown the device but I can't :/
But thanks for your reply.

Have you tried the 12second Power Button fix to turn the unit off?
If that doesnt work then you will have to wait until the battery runs out and turns off so you can plug the charger back in and try to unbrick it.
Mark.
Yes I tried but without results ...
It's OK, my Dealer gave me a new one.
Thanks for all

Hello something happened to my Defy plus. Something I was looking on the internet in opera and phone freezes, so I left him and so after about 10 minutes, it started to reboot itself - as soon as they began to blew up some buzz that he and the process can not run and then reboot itself and the happened over and over until I turn it off. That was yesterday and today it has not let go, just keep loading the logo "M" and nothing happens, and stop it just by pulling the battery.
Of the systems I have nothing, there is the original android.
Can anyone advise me what to do?
thank you

Hi guys, ive seen alot of boot looping posts, but this one is a normal GT-9500. I do have apps, all from the appstore, and my phone is under 1 year old. It has been working fine recently, and out of nowhere today, while using whatsapp, it began boot looping. So i tried using recovery mode with no luck. The icon appeared, only to quickly disappear as the bootlooping continued, and the same with Downloading mode. I have no idea where to go from here, and i really Hope that someone can help me restore my phone to working order.. Please and thanks​

I cant enter into recovery mode to do that, and i cant go into download mode. The phone just keeps restarting.. No matter what i do. Could it be the power button stuck? as soon as i put in the battery, the phone automatically tries to start itself.

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.

as soon as i put the battery in it cycles through the samsung logo.
tried removing memory card but didnt help.

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
I have a TMobile/MetroPCS GS4 model SGH-M919N that got stuck in a boot loop last week. I was finally able to find working firmware last night and used Odin to flash. Once it got to PASS my phone automatically rebooted with the blue recovery boot text in the top left, but then it just went back into a boot loop. I tried all other firmwares and none of them got to 100% so now I don't know what else I can do.
I have the same issue on a GT-i9505. I was using my phone this evening when it randomly rebooted and just keep rebooting until I removed my battery. After that, it was dead . Flashing stock firmwares like shooting a minigun and nothing works. Smells like a hard brick?

Have you tried replacing the battery? I figured I would try that but I havent gotten around to it yet
Not yet, i have no spare battery. Looks like when i plug the charger my phone just vibrates, like it's rebooting, and it's not showing anything. I found a similar issue here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532447
Looks like one guy did solve his problem.
*need to mention that by dead I mean it shows the "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505" logo and also shows "RECOVERY BOOTING", even though I didn't enter in recovery mode. Looks like now it doesn't shows anymore "RECOVERY BOOTING", but still, it doesn't boot. I was able to flash firmwares via odin and kies, but still no luck.
LE: It start booting by.. magic, i got to samsung boot logo, but that's all, crashed again.
After flash with Odin, immediately boot into recovery, perform a factory wipe, and reboot.
The problem is it doesn't boot into recovery.
LE: I managed to flash twrp via odin and boot into recovery, but i have an error:
"Unable to mount /data"
Any ideas?
LE2: Everything is useless, i managed to flash the rom, manage to boot into the rom, but then it will still reboot (which it did). Next step will be maybe to disassemble and clean all contacts.

How did you manage to get into recovery?

Yes, but if I leave my phone in recovery (stock or custom), it just either freezes, either reboots, even though i don't do anything, just let it idle.
I can't manage to boot into the ROM 'cause eventually it will reboot. I couldn't finish the setup wizard.
OK so I don't know if this helps, but I managed to at least get past the "blue recovery boot" part. When the phone vibrated I let go of the power while still holding home + vol up, and I managed to get to the android guy with a blue progress bar below him. My phone shut off as the progress bar got 80-90% but now I know it's not impossible to start recovery.
Well, nothing works. After flashing pit file, an 4.4.2 odin prerooted image from here, cf auto root and then twrp, it will still randomly reboot. I manage to get past the boot logo into setup wizard, but phone just freezes after a couple of minutes, can't finish the setup wizard. Also, if i idle in twrp it will reboot sooner or later, tested already.I left my phone idling in twrp just to recharge my battery.
At least i have no more "unable to mount /data" errors.
I finally got it to work, all I had to do is keep flashing twrp and stock firmware back and forth. But it is just one problem after another with this thing, the problem now is every 5 minutes it will freeze and restart, also it tells me there is no sim even though it worked the first time i put it back in.

It means he flahsed and reflashed many times until he got lucky and it worked. That's what happened to me also. But i have the same issue, phone reboots or freezez after a couple of minutes, even though everything else is installed properly.
Dude, we have the same issue. Btw, is this happening to you too? Like, now and then when the phone freezes, that the screen is turning to a bright yellowish green?
I know a friend who repairs phone hardwares for a living, i gave it to him, i'll let you know how this went.

I got several times into Recovery Mode now, flashed several ROMs. I had no issues with freezing, especially not in TWRP Recovery Mode. But sometimes if i am trying to go into Recovery Mode or i just want to start ROMs, the screen turns into yellow behind the Samsung logo. If i dont take out the battery this wents into a complete white, but nothing happens.
Yes please tell if you got some news..

But it is sure that the power button is working because i get this blue "recovery booting". Or am i wrong?
So.... bad news, the guy whom i gave the phone to said that it's a short on the motherboard and there's nothing he can't do other than changing the motherboard. If you guys found another solution and that guy is mistaking, let me know.
