[Q] SM-N900W8 stuck in bootloop after flashing with odin!!!

This has probably been mentioned before...but I will try anyways. I tried galaxynote3root*dot*com/galaxy-note-3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-3/ but it didn't work. Then I tried CF-Auto-Root-hltecan-hlteub-smn900w8 and it put my phone in a permanent boot loop and says recovery is not seandroid enforced!!! This is my work phone so I really hope someone can help.:crying:

So it says that about recovery and then what? You must give more info.
But I'll save you the trouble.
Go into download mode and flash stock firmware and start over. Do not use cf auto root this time. Lets get your device working. I can easily help you but you must follow my direction

It keeps bootlooping and wont let me access download mode. Starts recovery and then says not seanddoid enforced and reboots and will not respond to and key combinations to reboot in any mode.

I don't think download mode can be messed up unless in a very serious instances.
Just to make sure, here's how to access download mode;
- remove battery and put back in but don't press power
- press Vol Down + Power + Home Button all at the same time until the warning message appears on the screen, then let go of all the buttons
- press Vol Up to enter download mode

If you cannot put your phone in download mode through button presses, then I think you're only option is a jig short of sending it in for a repair.

Actually I tried DL mode right after hey_joe mentioned it just to see if I missed anything but it didn't work. I had tried it before as well but figured why not try it again. Both recovery and download modes are inaccessible. The only things I have done are the 2 processes I mentioned above, then I tried to get into DL (power, home, volume down) but no warning message came up...it just rebooted. and recovery mode (power home and up) a few times but got frustrated after it kept simply rebooting. I finally called a Telus tech support and they told me to try kies but it won't even detect the phone at all.
If I send this in will they be able see that I messed with the phone and void the warranty?

Sorry bud but I refyse ti believe based on just using cf auto root that you cannot access dl mode. Battery pull, hold home, vol down, then push and hold power (all three kept pressed)

Like I said, you can easily get into download mode by using a jig so they would see knox tripped ( if yours was ) and also the custom system not to mention that when you power it on, it will show " Seandroid enforcing, etc... ). So yes I'm guessing they might charge you for an easy fix.

replace *dot* with . and it become a hyperlink. I used that tutorial and then when I restarted my phone after I saw that it didn't do anything i then did CF Autoroot. Then after everything was done I got the error and am unable to boot into download or recovery.

Try to remove battery & wait about 30 minutes.
Then put it back & press power. It works for me one week ago with the same issue.
Sorry my english

Disconnect the usb cable and then battery pull. I had the same problem. If u battery pull while thr usb cable is plugged in it is still getting power.
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using xda app-developers app

I had the same problem. Pull the battery out and in again and press vol down, home and powerbutton till you get in download mode. Then volume down to restart phone. It will restart as normal.
The solution of this warning for me was to try different Odin (where the box is yellow instead of blue) and install CWM recovery.

[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

Help - Locked safe mode

Hi there. Im Dante, from Argentina.
I own a LG G2, for a year now, and I never had a problem. Never installed a mod, just the stock configuration. Yesterday the phone screen got stuck out of nowhere, so I had to reset it holding the power button. When it reseted, it entered safe mode and now I can't get it out. I reseted several times, uninstalled apps and I did a software factory reset. Nothing, it still starts in safe mode.
I tried to do a hardware factory reset but when it asks to confirm by pressing the power button, nothing happens when I press it.
It's getting to my nerves and I don't know what to do.
Can someone please help? Thanks in advance.

Start your device in Download Mode and flash Stock Rom. More info here:

The device starts up in Safe Mode and I can call and recieve SMS but I can't get it out of safe mode. I can't enter download mode (the phone shows 100% battery charge when connected to the PC) and I can't enter bootloader so I can't flash anything.
It's soft bricked I think

Redmi Note 7 stuck on bootloop, can't even hard reset it

Hello.
I have bought my note 7 in July of this year. Everything was working fine until today. Out of nowhere, my phone restarted and got stuck on a bootloop. It doesn't go past the redmi logo screen, keeps restarting after that. I can't even hard reset it, when entering in recovery mode, it doesn't stay there, instead it restarts again and again. I tried formatting it on my computer, but the PC won't recognize my phone.
I'm out of ideas, I can't seem to find anyone online with the same problem as I do.

Try this
https://www.google.com/amp/s/thedro...uck-in-boot-loop-and-wont-turn-on-1096684/amp

Well, somehow the phone let me format it. I guess the problem was with the power button, coming to think of it, a few days ago it appeared randomly on the screen the options to turn off the phone, reboot, etc. Maybe the button got stuck somehow, I have no idea. I managed to press the format button and it's back to normal, as of now.

Solved without format!
the same happened to me with Redmi Note 7. I followed the instructions from the link posted. After pressing Volume Down btn + Power for more than 15 seconds for a couple of times it got unstuck. Try that!

Issue also happened to me.
Get to the recovery mode, and try as many times as it takes to select the Reboot option. IF and WHEN you select it, thos should take you to the new menu saying Rebot or Go back to Main Menu. Select Reboot. That did it for me.
Before that it was rebooting for 2 hours and the trick with the power button and volume down (fastboot mode) did not work...

My redmi 7 got stuck fo second day now, keep rebooting, when I press power + volume up, sometimes reset menu appears but fast disappear. Sometimes it stays for a while but half way through resetting it boots again. Sometimes it begin to allegedly wipe data but stops half way and reboot again. It's wife's phone and she's not deleting stuff when phone is full, I think that's the reason, we'll see...

Cannot enter recovery mode

Hi friends,
I have a Samsung galaxy J5 2016 (SM-J510F/DS). It is continuously rebooting, it reaches till android home screen and reboots from there. While in the home screen it shows a msg (Android is Starting.....), and then it reboots. I have observed that all the button presses and touch is working for a short duration in between the reboots. I have searched all over internet and tried numerous ways to enter to recovery mode, download mode, nothing is working. My home button is also not working. Can somebody suggest me a way to enter to recovery mode so that I can do a clean wipe and start new. Please help. Thank you.

Hi,
Did you tried to make reset from within phone settings ? May be you are able to enter Recovery Mode after that!
( My Samsung Galaxy J 3 pro was almost in the same condition rebooting again & again, One Repairer even said that the display has gone but I was able to enter the recovery mode > Bootlaoder > Download Mode & flashed latest stock rom with ODIN > Working perfect now! )
I turned off the phone before it reboots. Once it was completely off, I pressed ''Volume Up + Home + Power'' Buttons all together, released them as soon as anything appeared / flashed on the screen, an installing update screen appeared & then I was right in the Recovery Mode with all the options.
Thanks.

Thank you for the reply, but my home button is not working.

same case as me. theres a third party apps that let you go to recovery mode google "Ultfone Android System Repair" i recommend you to download on their official site, the only problem that this app has is your phone need to be on if its off the app wont detect it

you can try something extreme like shorting home button contacts, but it might be a bit difficult.
