Hi guys,
Been a samsung user since S2, unfortunately ive made people bring me their devices so i can polish them, if not fix.
I got an i9505 at the moment with a very strange issues:
It boots up, hangs on the boot logo.
It boots in Download Mode, but volume up button wont work, i've opened the device and yet the button was fine.
Sometimes just connecting it to the PC using USB, the device vibrates as if it's turning on, though it vibrates every 2-3 seconds. Device is Off btw.
Recovery Mode wont boot, Home Button + Volume Up + Power Button until the thing vibrates, i release the power button, and it just hangs there. Makes me doubt it is not even reaching the point where it knows where the recovery is. However, i got it in to the blueish "booting recovery..." once, but it hanged there as well.
Am clueless here, (re)searching usually brings me near the answer, but it hasnt, i hope the answers here will do it for somebody else.
Edit: since i am doing this out of pure compassion, i have no idea what is loaded inside .

Flash a stock rom base in your country mate via odin and you can download it from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ , then once your done downloading the file, Boot into Download mode (Power+VolumeDown) , Open Odin select PDA /AP , Connect both cables (Wait until you get a blue sign in Odin)and flash away.If you encounter any issues with the firmware (Any FC, Bootloop etc)Boot into recovery mode (power+vol up),Choose to wipe/factory reset. (THIS WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA INCLUDING YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD! Then choose reboot and you should be good to go! Have a nice day
Mate, is there a way to flash through Odin without pressing the Vol Up button, cause i am not aware of that?
I cant get past the first point of download mode, to actually enter you need to press Vol up.

try to remove your battery for 10 sec and put it back mate , and then try O press and hold Power+Volumedown to see if you can boot it. or you can try to connect to kies 3
Already done that tbh. Battery was off for like a day. I was hoping for that qualcomm boot mode, but doesnt seem to work.

Hence the thread. There was no other option left.
I usually do this to gain the knowledge for future use, is this a common death for the S4. the user that had it is definitely not a flasher, what couldve gone wrong?

hello,
after install some rom, my p9 lite get bootloop. I manage to enter fastboot but phone was locked, so to install twrp i unlocked it.
After unlock i can't enter fastboot.
Screen "your devices has been unlocked and can't be trusted" appears, vol up+- power, nothing happens phone vibe 2 times and back to screen "your devices...".
My bootloader is unlock, can i flash twrp without bootloader screen on phone ? My phone is connected to PC but no device detected. Maybe at linux i can do something more than windows ?
Maybe i need to go to fastboot some different way ? i try to push 3 button after fist vibe and 2nd. Nothing work for me :crying:

For fastbooting u need to use volume down and power in the same time and the phone needs to be connected to PC, and for entering to recovery u only need to press volume up and power key.

Disconnect the phone from PC. Make sure it's powered off. Plug in USB cable at the same time while holding volume down.

Don't work, after power on......why power on?
Disconnect from PC. Power of the phone.
Press and hold only vol down, with pressing vol down connect with PC. Device should be start on fastboot mode.

i hold power button, if phone isn't connected to pc he is going off. Think is because battery is very low, led is blinking in red.
Then I hold vol down and connect usb cable, but how u can see on video phone weak up and go to booting.
I have hi suit last night as i mention fastboot works, but need to unlock phone. After that "your devices" screen came out and can't fastboot anymore
When i turning off phone with connected usb i can't turn phone off. After a second phone power on by his own.
If phone is disconnected longer than 5 min, then i push vol down and connect usb only red lightening shows up. I need to wait a while to phone start.

OK. When phone is off, if you connect with PC, phone should be start, but this is only for charging. May be, you don't have charge, so phone is not going to fastboot mode with vol down?
Now just connect the phone with PC for full charge.
You don't have any recovery? Custom or stock?
It can be happen?

When i start charge phone blinking red in led, after while phone vibe 1 time and go to booting now, but led don't stop blinking. I will try to charge it, but because of working screen, phone heat a lot i don't wanna burn it.
Before i made rollback and something gone very bad, emui update after 100 % phone don't boot up. Without usb cable i wasn't able to go recovery or fastboot. So i think i don't have any recovery i made backup of files with twrp but now i can't flash it.
after night without power, phone drain all of battery. Now i understood better what is going on. when i plugged usb cable, phone don't start bye it own, only red lighting flash for second .
I disconnect cable and connect it with vol down button how all of here wrote. Phone immediately weak up an go to "your device has been..".
It's look like after i unlock phone (bootloader) somehow i was able to corrupt bootloader files or even delete it. Some one can confirm that it is possible to crash bootloader ?

I have the same situation. I tried everything, Three button method, letting the battery run out completely, Vol+ and Power, Vol- and Power, connected to PC, not connected to PC. Every time I disconnect the charger, and reconnect it starts from 0. I read some other people here have the same problem. Send it to warranty and explain your rollback process unlocked the bootloader somehow (I mean the phone does do a lot of sh*ty sh*t, so this shouldn't seem very odd as well!!!) and hope that you get a repair/replacement and after that sell it on ebay hoping some stupid people like us in the first place will buy it and spend your money on a phone more reliable!
I managed to access the fastboot using the 3 button method in cold boot. Hold the Power key until the screen goes off and then release and hold down the Vol- key and immideately connect the usb cable to PC right before it vibrates or exactly when it vibrates (it's a matter of timing), and bingo you are in fastboot and you can flash system.img, recovery.img, cust.img, cache.img and boot.img from there, but this is not how I revived my phone. I used the 3 button method again when the phone was charged for like half an hour or so and the did the same cold boot trick and I could boot into the force upgrade environment (strangely this still didn't work whitout connecting the usb cable to PC), but it somehow didn't want to read the UPDATE.APP that I had in dload folder on my SD card and wanted to have it from my PC (I just felt it nad there was no indication of it ) so then I installed the DC Phoenix tool and payed 15 euros to be able to inject the complete UPDATE.APP to my bricked phone and the installation went well to 99% and failed, but I rebooted the phone and I could boot normally. Just to make sure I did a factory reset afterwards. Hope this helps.

Yes. I am actually writing this from my Huawei P9 Lite now. This phone is really a nightmare for modifying and customization. I'm not sure if I'm going to resell it or just wait a reasonable amount of time until some reviews from the next update come out and see if I might wanna take the risk and update my phone again.
Hello i have an problem with my Huawei Nova (CAN-L11) boot loop every 2 secodns.
What have I got :
- I have unlocked bootloader
- I have rooted my phone
- I have flashed custum recovery - twrp 3.0.3
Problem:
My phone stucked on boot loop. It restarting by it selft every 2 seconds. Just appear Huawei logo and than again restart.
What I tried : After flashed custum recovery i have maked relock on bootloader and now:
1. I can't put in fastboot mode ( volume down + usb cable)
2. I can't flash via sdcard - dload/UPDATE.APP ( volume down + volume up + powe button)
3. Is not charging on wall charger - same problem again
4. but I can turn of phone when i hold vol up + vol down and power button more of 20 second, but after my phone its gooing off i tired again to put on fastboot , flashing or charging it but is happening same problem - boot loop every 2 seconds.
I'm sure my cable and phone connector are ok. In the moment what i have maked a bootloader relock i had more of 70% battery.
Any idea how i can fix it. What i need to do ?
I would be very grateful to you.
Thank You

With this options is nothappening nathing just again is going to restart it every 2 seconds. Vol up + vol down + pwer button on more of 15 sec is going phone on power off.
I made relock on bootloader because I wanted to take it away waring: your phone is unlocked an can't be trusted ....
well...youve learn the lesson the hard way...you just cant get rid of that nag screen...
only thing left now ( i think) is to ... send it to huawei for ressussitation...
cuz at that point i dont think theres a method after loosing ADB access

Hi! Have you repaired your phone? If not, the way is easy. You need plug USB cable and hold Vol-. You will enter bootloader. You should again unlock bootloader with your unlock code. After that bootloop is gone.
It could be that phone won't enter bootloader. In that case you should power off phone. Possible needed to disassembly and eject battery cable. After that plug USB cable and hold Vol-.

I have same problem too, and I bought the phone from china, can not return back, any solution ?
Hi...what have you tried till now ?
try hold power off button for around 30 seconds...
then try VOL-DOWN+ Power while plugged to pc....
i had same problem today. Thought i have ruined my phone. But trying to rebooting the phone while using variuos options with power volume up and down accidentally succeeded. It was in my case holding power and volume button until stopped appearing reload every 2 sec, then i have released the power button while kept holding volume up button. And lucky i booted in to Huawei erecovery mode. From there I have booted my Huawei Nowa phone in to a normal boot. Hope it helps somebody.
Hello.. i have the same problem here. It keep restart after 2 seconds. When i push the vol up + power button, it goes to recovery mode. Ive done wipe/reset factory n wipe cache. And still i cant switch on my phone.
Huawei Nova Plus MLa L12 restart every 2 seconds..
When it restart too fast, im also can't enter twrp and fastboot..It restart too fast and vol +- can't detect..If anyone have solutions for this problem, please inbox me..Thanks.
Hello i have the same problem, I tried all the combinations of the power button + volume button + and volume button -, but nothing works, I even disassemble the phone and disconnect the battery, then connect the phone to the pc with the cable, but nothing works, are there any other proposals?
same here... any sugest?
Hi
i bought before 2 weeks Xiaomi a1
it wored very good.
Today while I wanted to turn on the screen it did not respond.
The phone is not responding to any type of pressing.
I must say that the phone is new, did not get any kind of hit , and 5 min before this problem it used to work really good.
I think that the phone is in brick mode, and i can't enter to fastboot option because the phone is not responding....
Pls help my solve this problem.
Thanks
Try holding the pwoer button for more then 10 seconds, that should reset it... once you start it up aghain turn of ambient screen... Gave me troubles too... Hope that helps.
Has that still not been fixed with November update? I turned my ambient screen back on to see. So far, 2 days since update and no black screen after notification.
I'm guessing it's not dead. I have the same problem before as well. It was the buggy Ambient Display. Force restart your phone by pressing power button and holding it more than 10 second. First thing on boot up complete, go to Settings > Display and turn off Ambient Display.

Well there is something strange.
Leave the phone discharge
Then let it charge
Then power on with vol down + power
Try these 2 things
1) charge your phone for 2-3 hours. if didnt switch on try this 2
2) Connect your data cable with pc. In mobile Press volume up + volume down and plug in the other end of usb cable to your mobile. you need to hold the keys. this will boot your phone into fastboot.
If boot steps didnt work then it might be a hardware problem or hard brick.

you should press the power key while charging cable connected.If it doesn't work , unplug the charging usb and plug again reverse(type c's reversibility).If it can't, try with another AC source,another person,another location.

You switched off the phone in middle of installing ota, best bet is take it to the take it to the service center and tell them phone not switching back on after installing August ota update.
Or if not in warranty then try to install stock rom using qfil.
Unfortunately you have bricked your Mi A1

You have bricked your Mi A1, when you turned it off while installing/flashing the August update. Basically you should never turn a smartphone off, or disconnect the USB cable (if it is connected), while flashing its ROM.
There are various methods to unbrick it, I suggest you try this one since it's apparently not going into fast boot:
[Experimental]Recover Hard Bricked Xiaomi A1 Using SD Card
Hi!
I have a problem with a galaxy a40 device, I flashed a stock ROM with Odin, everything went fine, green lights, PASS and all, but now the device just won't go pass the SM logo anymore. When I turn on, logo appears 2-3 secs I get a warning of the unlocked BL then logo comes back and after a second the phone restarts itself and the same goes on forever ( well about several hours, and after that it just shuts off somehow ). I cannot enter recovery mode or download mode at all. I keep pressing the combinations Power + Vol Down, Power + Vol Up, All three and every combinations I have just found on the internet so far. Odin doesnt recognize the phone, which is not a surprise since it won't start up. I have tried with adb but waiting for device is all I get.
How is it even possible that I cannot enter download mode at all? There was no problem with the physical keys, and the power still works, I cannot test the Vol buttons tho.
Has anyone ever had a problem like this? How can I come back from this? Is there a way to flash a ROM without download mode or turned off phone?
Thanks for any help!!
The download mode for this model is different from previous Samsung's :
IIRC, with the phone off, you need to hold VolumeUp and VolumeDown, then plug in the USB cable connected to a computer (you may need to press Power to power up the phone, I can't recall properly).
From there, you should be able to restore a stock ROM with Odin.
Let us know if it helped !

When I turn on, logo appears 2-3 secs I get a warning of the unlocked BL then logo comes back and after a second the phone restarts itself and the same goes on forever ( well about several hours, and after that it just shuts off somehow ). I cannot enter recovery mode or download mode at all. I keep pressing the combinations Power + Vol Down, Power + Vol Up, All three and every combinations I have just found on the internet so far. Odin doesnt recognize the phone, which is not a surprise since it won't start up. I have tried with adb but waiting for device is all I get.
How is it even possible that I cannot enter download mode at all? There was no problem with the physical keys, and the power still works, I cannot test the Vol buttons tho.
Has anyone ever had a problem like this? How can I come back from this? Is there a way to flash a ROM without download mode or turned off phone?
Thanks for any help!!

Here the same problem, have a40 in loop and never get rocgnized for computer, tryed many different cables, and installed a booring large amount of drivers software and nothing...
you need to power off device completely. let battery drain if you can't shut down. press and keep holding volume down + plug in usb cable for Odin3 (I doubt both?)

Generic answers, repeated 800 times why really need to waste a post with that? and that not was the problem:
1- For no usb recognition, is this phone bad design, in the back tap where is the battery in the samsung logo more or less if you push with fingers and charge is because the design of baterry is so crap and your usb port goes off when the under tap cable moves or just get little out of conection. If you can get working after push, usb on phone will do too.
