I had the same issue. I believe it was a bad MD5. Although I know you can adb command from a PC, I had just recently deleted all of my drivers to get into a couple of nexus 7's.keep trying the volume down and power key the correlation seems to be if you can hit it right as it boots. I made it back to the factory data reset screen hit power through and dropped into TWRP.
I'm not sure how much you know or if you've ever had to boot through the factory reset screen but it does NOT actually reset your device rather is the push to your recovery.
Good luck,

I have done that sevral times now before it did go into that recovery twrp but not when I do it it goes into fastboot everytime , its like it has wiped twrp off the phone and no recovery , even used fastboot on pc to boot into it and it wont just goes back to fast bootscreen

you should be able to still get recovery -switch off phone,press vol down and power button at the same time as soon as you see the lg logo press the same combination again and hopefully it will go to a white screen with factory reset press the button I think 3 times and it will take you thru to twrp it may take a few tries but if u get the combo right it will work -if not you may have to go to the thread in xda g2 forum and im afraid learn how to restore your phone to factory state again which is a pain in the a**e but make sure you have all the necessary drivers installed as that will not work properly either-hopefully you can get back into recovery and restore your back up-good luck!

S4 GT9500 Boot Loop

Hi Guys,
I tried to root my S4 GT9500 using the galaxy for root dot com site and now the phone is stuck in a boot loop.
I cant even get into recovery mode. The phone just reboots continuously. I got stuck when trying to install the supersu app
and it just went downhill and the reboots started. When I try the home, power and vol up buttons keystrokes,
I cannot get into recovery mode. When I try download mode, it gets there but as soon as i hit the volume up, it reboots again
Can someone guide me to fix my mess please
I hope this has not been asked before.

If you can't enter in recovery mode then try to put it in download mode and flash a stock ROM. When you flash a new kernel to root your phone you must check if the kernel that you are flashing is compatible with the current android version, I mean, if you flash a kitkat kernel and you have a lollipop rom you will get bootloops for sure.

Download mode reboots also after 1 second also

Maybe the problem is your power button being stuck if it just shows galaxy logo and reboots every time.

I agree with this. Also you said that in download mode it reboots after one second.

Or it can also be ur battery, u should try a different one

Also you can try flashing twrp recovery from odin again. Some steps may make the recovery.img broken. If you reinstall it that may work. (I faced such a problem and I solve in that way)

so it does appear to be a stuck power button because if I press home and volume down, it still goes into download mod. Let me see how I can fix that now. Thanks all.

Battery was good, tested it on my working S4

if all else fails? Recovery bootloop issue.

here my issue.. so I'm using cm12.1 on my Canadian gaxaly note 3, and Im trying to reset my phone, which I thought would be just fine if I went to settings, then hit reset data function. in which it rebooted my phone, and tried to take me into recovery for whatever reason (likely to reset the phone..?) and its almost stuck there. it flashes like it tries to boot recovery and shows the team win logo for 2 seconds then shuts off and then displays the team win logo for 2 seconds and etc. etc, I tried to get it to download mode with no cigar, whatever button combination I do it always ends up booting recovery. cant turn it back on or anything. I plug it into my computer and it seems to not recognize it. I'm with virgin mobile right now and it's an almost 2 year old phone (got it the day after black Friday), so I'm guessing I'm out of luck for the manufacturer and the virgin mobile's help. Anyway I can fix the issue? any help would be appreciated.

Do you have access to a USB jig for force the phone into download mode?
What happens when you try to boot into download mode? Are you holding down the volume down, power and home button long enough?

Flash "CWM/Philz" recovery for your phone model and go-to recovery mode by some step:
1. Pull out batery.
2. Push in again.
3. Press "volume up + home + power" and wait ~5second.
4. You in recovery mode

I recommend flashing 2.8.7.1 TWRP if you can get into download mode in order to flash another ROM. CWM is outdated and no longer being updated.
If you want to flash back to stock, grab the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com.

SM-G950F won't boot, hard bricked?

I had to reboot my device due to problems with my speaker. Now i'm not able to boot anymore.
I'm only able to get into ODIN Mode, and flashing new FW or TWRP does nothing. It'll flash correctly, but as soon as it sends the reboot command the device powers off and does not boot, and no, it does not reach the "Galaxy s8, powered by android screen".
It does not want to power on, and only responds to the odin button combo, can't boot into recovery either since nothing works.
I was running the latest version of Renovate Ice if that matters.
I've searched trough some other threads, but it seems like i'm the only one that's having this problem.
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Edit 1: I've tried flashing both AQK7 and AQG5. Both flash fine, but as soon as odin sends the reboot command to my phone, it turns off and does not turn on.
Auto Reboot is ticked. Same goes for any version of TWRP, it will flash, but when it has to reboot the device turns off and does not turn on. There's nothing on the screen, its completely black and the only thing that does work is Download Mode. I've also tried ereasing nand, and repartitioning storage. Both seem to have 0 effect. As stated in one of my replies, i was running the latest build of renovate-ice with magisk, no other mods, or themes installed.

Im a bit confused - you can only boot into download mode (not into twrp?) and the phone is in bootloop? Have you flashed anything (mod?) before or activated a substratum theme which could cause this?
The only thing I can think of is a) you delete in twrp file manager the corrupted file, if there is something like this or b) a twrp restore from a backup. Boot into download mode and then do not press vol up to go into odin mode but press vol down to reboot - then immediately press the combo for twrp and you will get to the recovery. This helped my s8 many times when I was in a bootloop and couldnt boot up twrp

Thanks for the reply! Other than using the Renovate-Ice rom, and running magisk the thing was pretty much stock. wasn't messing around in twrp either. Its not stuck in a bootloop either, it just refuses to do anything other than go in and out of DL mode. The phone does not respond to any button imputs other than DL mode. As stated in the OP it does not boot at all, just a black screen. i've already tried to reflash a stock FW and TWRP, but that does not seem to work...

try the method I did - this is the last thing I could think of, before reflash the whole phone with odin

There isn't much to say about the problem ,it just stopped working, hence why i rebooted the phone, and ran in to the problem i'm having right now.

Doesn't work sadly, but thanks for the help anyways!

but you havent installed Viper4Arise or anything like that?
Because of this my speaker also stopped working a few weeks ago

if you can get into download mode then get into download mode and leave phone, then download samsung smart switch for your pc (older version like 4.1.17022_20 from here http://www.filehorse.com/download-samsung-smart-switch/29268/ that allows phone based recovery), once installed open it, then click on more at top right, (do not update the software if you get a prompt) select emergency device recovery...., then click on right tab (device initialisation) and fill in your phone details etc., connect your phone (in download mode) and follow the process, maybe it works, you'll need to root and install TWRP again but thats no big issue.

I've tried this just now, and it still gives me the same result, it goes trough the process, but as soon as it has to reboot it doesn't boot anymore.
Thanks for the suggestion though!

I've had a case on the phone since day one, and I've checked for water damage, but there is non. The tab that is supposed to indicate it is untouched. But thanks for your input! I appreciate it

I have the same problem. Its look like is bootloader issue. try flash this soft :
G950FOWA1AQCC_Recovery
But if you are on newest rom it wont work.

Hello, you can solve this problem?

S5e won't boot

I am at a loss here. After almost 2 years of working flawlessly, my s5e won't boot.
The screen got frozen while using anydesk, and had to force a restart (power button + up and fown volume buttons).
I can see the Samsung logo for less than a second, and then it switches off. Without touching anything, after some seconds the same thing happens.
I tried charching it and similar behaviour: i see charging circle for less than a second, and off again.
I AM AT A LOSS.
I managed to boot it pressing power+volume_up buttons and this is what i see (attached). It can stay like that for a long time so I guess battery and it's connection to the tablet are fine.
PLEASE ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY WELCOME
UPDATE:
I have tried MANY things in the 6 hours since I wrote this post. I am able to put the tablet in download mode and ODIN (and my PC) recognizes it. I am able to flash VBMETA but now TWRP (fail).
At some point the tablet rebooted in normal mode (why?) but got frozen again and had to reboot it.
Anyone can point me to how to recover it? I don't mind right now to loose what is in the internal memory.

Did you try to hard reboot (power_button + volume_down ) for more than 9 seconds.
If did not work then you may have to charge the phone? If its fully charged try to flash stock rom using Odin. When your device does not boot that means the stock firmware is corrupted and needs to be flashed again. That happened to me before and now my phone is working fine. Wanna know how to flash it? Look it up online!

I did try a hard reboot. Same result. I already rooted and installed a custom rom on it (first thing i did).
Twrp is installed but I'm unable to boot to it.
Any more ideas?

Listen up carefully. There is a truck to boot into recovery. When you hard reboot screen will turn black then show logo. While screen is
Black quick hold vol up button and power.
Worked on my galaxy a10. Tell meh the results bro

It just loads the screen attached in my first post.

Try flash via Odin, it still in download mode with this warning.

The tablet was still covered by warranty so I called the seller and they took it to a Samsung repair store. They replaced the motherboard, so I guess it was not recoverable.
The bad news is that they updated to android 11, I was quite happy with old 9.0 because I had TWRP and Magisk working.
Thank you for all that tried to help.
