hey guys/girls, so im fixing my friends phone it is a canadian Samsung galaxy note 3 (SM-N900W8) it is locked to rogers.
here is what he told me.
"I downloaded an emulator so I can play old games on it, I opened it and it didn't work so I rebooted my phone. but now it just powers on for about 8 seconds then shuts down. after about 3 hours it turned on so I went back on to the emulator and my phone started rebooting again."
it has been 3 weeks since this happened and it just keeps rebooting.
now, when I try reboot it in into recovery it stays on for 8 seconds then shuts down again. it wont even boot into the recovery.
when i try to reboot it into download mode it gets in for about 3 seconds then shuts down.
I have tried flashing cwm and twrp but download mode shuts down. the computer cant detect it quick enough.
I have checked the buttons and they were fine. not jammed.
the phone was not rooted(he wouldn't let me root it)
I need help with this. im stuck. please help me.
I thank you in advance

Try wiping system, data, cache, dalvik from your recovery if you can manage it. Also try removing SD-card if present. Some more info would be helpful for anyone trying to help you.
Hit Home, Power Up, and the Home button.
Then you'll be at the download/restart screen. After that, hit down to restart.
Thanks but i tried all of that and niether worked
Try odin
You can always download your official firmware from
sammobile.com/firmwares/
and flash it with Odin to fix bootloop problems.

Hello there guys.
I have a problem with my Note 4 the SM-910F model.
I had some battery problems so I decided to go to my settings and factory reset my phone from the menu, Not through recovery mode or anything. Just through the samsung galaxy note 4 settings. I have rooted the phone with CF-Auto-Root.
So now the phone is trying to turn on and it keeps saying Installing system update... with the android robot guy logo. It keeps coming on and off, on and off. The logo and text comes up for less than a second, and then it goes off for 3 seconds.. and comes back.
I don't know what to do. I am currently downloading the correct firmware for the phone, it's like 1.5 gigs.. and I've got Odin as well.. however my phone is not recognized. As in nothing is detected. So I don't know what I should do.
I even tried going to recovery mode by pressing VolUp+Power+Home button. Nothing.
Please help me.
Thank you!!
I am terribly sorry. I am an Idiot.
It was VolDown+Power+Home button. Now I am on the downloading screen...
Once again. I am sorry. I now fixed it somehow. I just had to read and look at the stupid guides.. which said VolDown.. not Up.
Please remove this thread.. or keep it so people can use this as an example..of how to be an idiot.
Dont be so mad bro
Just a mistake
One piece of advice for you is to install CWM, looks like you haven't installed it. So next time if you want to try out something you can do a backup.
So I had Alliance ROM on my phone to begin with and I downloaded this http://www.alliance-rom.com/communit...able-nd7.9054/ and installed it in safestrap recovery mode. After the file was finished installing the phone turned off. (I thought it was going to restart and well that never happened, The phone doesn't even turn on. I've taken the battery out and tried to power it on, I've tried taking the SIM and SDCard out and turning it on. I've left it plugged in and charging and tried turning it on, I'v plugged it into a computer and tried it that way. Nothing that I have tried has worked. If anyone can please help me get this working I would HIGHLY APPRECIATE IT!! I use this phone for work and to keep in touch with my Daughter. Thank you ahead of time for any ideas that may or may not work.
First thing, the link you posted doesn't work. There's dots in the middle. Second, if it won't even boot to the Galaxy S5 screen before the boot animation that could be one of two things. A. It installed a custom boot loader not meant for your device that could be fixed if you could boot to download mode, which you can't. Or b. your phone is physically broken and you'd need to take it to Verizon to get fixed. Right now it's probably the second, but I have little clue as to the ROM you installed.
This has been pretty much answered for you in your other thread. You put a rom meant for note 2 on your S5 , probably not going to be fixable. But your ONLY chance is to get the phone into Download mode. Then odin a stock S5 ROM. No longer any need to panic you have brick so...At this point remain calm and move slowly so you don't make another mistake hope you get lucky.
I landed on an error screen while going through an OTA update on my Yoga 8. Now the tablet gets stuck on the lenovo logo screen. I even tried booting into recovery by pressing Vol up+down+power but it takes me to lenovo logo again. please help. Its not even a month old!
Update : I figured out how to go to recovery. I did a factory reset and wipe cache partition but still the tab wont go beyond the lenovo logo. ANYBODY PLEASE HELP!
Update 2 : i think the reason due to which OTA update to fail was the fact that my tablet was rooted (using kingroot). Now i downloaded a firmware update n tried installing it through sd card but it again failed n it said "package was expecting b6000 hv". The russian link doesnt work. Can someone give me a working link to download the firmware?

What data were you trying to recover? What you need to do at this point is try to get your phone to boot up. I would suggest going back to stock with Odin
Hello XDA Developers,
i have got SM-N9002 (Note 3 DUOS) after i installed kingroot apk to root it, the root wasn't successfully
then i decided to format the phone with hard factory reset, which didn't worked through settings. so i restarted the telephone in stock recovery mode then i choose factory reset from there. since then it keep show me loading bar and android logo and nothing changes for over 48 hours continuously on.
