Hello XDA comunity
I need you help. Something strange has happened to my device. Today I noticed that my S7E was freezing with garbeled pixels on the screen and reebooting by itself. I tried to go to the recovery and do a factory reset and the thing is, the device froze in it too! So I actually managed to boot into it and backup everything. After that, I did a factory reset and everything seemed fine. So I went into recovery to test out if the phone would repeat the same freeze, and after I entered, the phone turned off and didnt turn on again. So now It wont even give out any sign of life, not even with the charger. I tried the power + volume down but it wont turn on. So now I am stuck with a dead device :/
Can someone help me?
Regards

Going to Leave this here in case someone gets it too.
If for some reason your SGS7E is freezing with artifacts on its screen and then reebooting, you have a corrupted firmware. If for some reason, it shuts off and dosent turn off, or it wont respond to the power + volume down combo, check if it feels warm to the touch (not warm like 40º ou 30º more like, warm for your surroundings) if it does, that means that somehow it got stuck and wont power off. Just wait for it to drain completly and try again.
Go to SAMSUNG STORE / SERVICES REPAIRS ; ))

Have you tried leave the phone on it's original charger
for at least an hour or more and then see if you can
get into either download mode or recovery?
I have seen many phones which have very similar
problems like your phone has and charging for at
least an hour on it's original battery charger will
usually allow booting into either recovery mode
and or into download mode.
If your phone can be booted into recovery or download
mode after charging and still has problems then simply
download the official samsung S7 Edge Nougat 7 or
Marshmallow 6.02 firmware and flash it with Odin3,
doing that will get your phone working properly just like
when you first purchased it.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

Hello, thanks for taking your time to help me. I'm on another account right now so dont be suprised about it since I forgot my password ahah.
Well, I'm testing the one hour charge and will reportback asap. The thing is, the device dosent turn on no matter what I do. I have a kill-a-watt so I can mesure its voltage and its showing 1.2 volts so I guess its doing something. I will report back asap.
UPDATE: Still not turning on :/

As one mentioned above: in that case: no boot, no Recovery, you have only one option, and the procedure is:
1. Pack your phone carefully, preventing it from further damage;
2. Using your laptop/tablet, PC, go online;
3. Open search engine, in search field place your town and "Samsung repair centre" then push enter
4. Remember the address and deliver your phone there. It may be handy to give them a call first
Sadly, this is only one option you have now.
Another Update
So after geting frustrated and wanting to trow the smartphone to a wall, to my surprise, I felt that the device was warm to the touch and decided to put it on its box while I went to sleep. I've just woken up and decided to try it, and it went stright up to the download mode. A few secounds later it turned itself off again, but I decided to insist and I managed to do it again while I connected it to the computer. I managed then to flash an original nougat firmware to it. After that I could finally turn the device on. So I'm just charging it right now so I can turn it on again and see if it can boot. I suspect that in some way, my firmware got corrupted.
TLDR: If your device feels a bit warm, just let it drain the rest of the battery and resist the urge to do the damn power reset and try again.
UPTADE 2: YAY It worked! Its Working!
keep using it and see if doesn't give same simptome after some hours, there are people that reported some strange issues lile yours on this model, and if don't have warranty is bad

Dead Phone and no life at all
Im suffering the same damn problem with my 4 month old S7 edge.
Im in the UK but i bought the phone brand new boxed from Dubai, it is the international sm-g935f.
Box was sealed and brand new and bought from a major official retailer, i actually bought 2, one for me and one for wife, her one has been perfectly fine.
Long story short, last few months starting getting the screen freeze with blurred pixels, screen would stay frozen exactly as it was and then eventually phone would black screen and tried to reboot...
blue notification light would constantly stay on and it would NOT turn on and just loop with the s7 edge powered by Android logo unless i did vol+power down a few times, it would then turn on and proceeed to the flashing samsung logo before it would load up...
problem got worse by worse day by day,
i did everything from full wipe and factory restore etc safe mode etc, but it kept doing this and got worst over last few days...
now i could never get it start unless i actually tired the hard reboot power + vol down about 5 or 6 times and failing that i would try recovery mode then hard reboot again,
once turned on would be slow and laggy and glitchy at first then slowly get back up to speed and work again, only to die at some point or other when i would go to use it, unused it would stay on all day and recieve calls etc.
but last night i think i got the black screen of death... black screen with blue notification light soild blue and permanently on, no matter what i tried i could not shake the blue light, i got the s7 edge logo a few times before finally absolutely nothing,
light stayed on for about 5 to 6 hours i thought just to let the battery die.
this morning its all dead, no light no power no nothing. no matter what i try and any combination of keys i cant get it to even flinch, put charger cable on and nothing, no lights, no power or boot combination works
Have spoke to samsung here in UK, they say its under warranty but they wont touch it with a barge pole as Samsung EU Europe warranty only covers handsets bought in the UK or europe and this is a an international middle east handset according to serial and imei number and that for me to make a claim it needs to go back to retailer in Dubai and make claim with Samsung warranty there..
I was hoping it was just a software issue and thus have put up with it for so long as i have no way of sending it back to Dubai,
Does anyone know how i can just get it back up to life again, just to get my messages, some photos and media from it and possibly delete my google account on it as all whatsapp and insta and snapchat etc wud still be running on it if somehow i could get it to Dubai, as i had not password or pin protected it at all, its all open, so if someone did power it up, they wud have easy access to full contents
any help or any guidance would be so much appreciated, as im just sitting with a £450 brick at the moment and its very disheartening that usually an expert with samsungs just cant get this to work.
Im appalled at Samsungs attitude here in the UK, that the latest S7 edge flagship model is dying like this and many others round the world too, so its a common problem and they wont help at all, i mean u would think they would cover the warranty internationally as people travel all over world with thier phones and its the exact same handset they are selling at their official Samsung stores in the all the Dubai malls, in Duty free airport etc, its absolutely appalling, having been a samsung pro person from the first galaxy s phones, and owning and spending a large chunk of my money over last 10 years on samsung products in my household and family and friends and endorsing them wherever i go, its the first time i feel ever so let down by them.
hi guys.....
did anyone have a read of my post?
any help or ideas guys?
update....left it plugged in to see if it would charge....but still nothing, no warm up feel or doesn't even look like its taking any charge.
so how long should it leave it unplugged to see if maybe it needs completely draining?
still cant get it to power using any key combination at all

Hello friend
I know that feeling. I had the same feeling after I saw my phone going dead on me. Well, this will sound crazy but, for now just leave it on your desk over a night, dont try to charge it, dont try to reset it, just leave it for at least 12 hours. My phone died like that, it started to loop each time I got the artifacts on the screen. Worse, it even did the same on the recovery menu. I bought mine with dubai firmware. The only diferent thing I did, was to flash 7.0 BTU rom directly on it since I live in portugal and the phone had a ton of apps that were in arabic. I used odin to flash it and for a week or so, the device worked flawless, only missing some important apps from the system wich I found to be odd. Now, for the good news, after hours of research at the time I actually learned that samsung build in a switch in case of inconsistent booting or kernel panic errors, that make your phone simply turn off to avoid a battery explosion (Like the note 7). This means that the phone wont charge or turn on if this switch is on. So I felt that my phone was not hot, but just warm to the touch when everything arout it was at 2º celcius. That meant that it was stuck with the screen turned off. I just let it sit for 2 hours while I took a nap and after that, I actually didnt use the charger right away, I tried the download mode key combo and it turned on. But since it was without battery, it turned of instantly. So I tried again and after it went straight to download mode, I connected to the computer and flashed the 7.0 btu firmware again. After this ordeal, I actually learned that the first flash actually didnt install a ton of system apps or functions that in turn, made the cellphone freeze. You can flash an original firmware in your phone, it wont brake the warraty or touch the knox 0x0 warranty.
There is a high chance that when you update or flash the firmware, something can go wrong (in my case it was a corrupted firmware doing to the internet connection). This will be the same with OTA's I guess. So dont despair, just let it sit for a while and tri again after that. With no battery the device will turn the switch off and you can use it afterwards again. The faul its at the software.

I debranded from dubai firmware to android 7.0 UK BTU ROM. I redownloaded and flashed again when I got the chance to do it, and so far I have 0 problems with freezes or artifacts. Check if the firmware is properly downloaded before doing anything to avoid a stuck screen of death that may take a long time to discharge the battery.
For both of you guys, I'm sorry if my english sucks
If you guys need anything else, just PM me or respond here on this tread and I will try to help you as mucha s I can.

Any way i can get it to turn on or somehow power back up again?
Any manual or computer way?
Have tried charging it and then leaving it for few days and then tried powering back up, but still nothing.
Usually when it used to freeze and black screen trying the power and vol down a few times would re boot it...
But right now it just seems like its died for good...
Please help anyone?

Yes i would love to be able to flash it again or even wipe/factory data reset... Im very familiar on how to to that using stock roms or custom roms, but I can't even get it into download mode...
If I could just get it to power and into download or recovery mode then I would at least be able to do something with it.
But it seems your right like it is stuck on the black screen.
I left it in charge last night...
So now im. Thinking just to leave it without charging at all again...
But how long to wait till I know if it's properly battery dead and discharged?
If I do that then surely if battery is completely drained and discharged then it wont even have enough power to go into download or recovery mode?
Then do I attempt to try charge it again?
Risk is not knowing how or when of the battery is will be completely dead...
If it is stuck/frozen in black screen then charging it again will just prolong it again?
Uurrggghh its driving me crazy

In my opinion, you sould get a kill-a-watt to plug into a wall plug and to the charger to see the voltage thats going trough. If its 1,4v then the device is turned on but with a black screen (At least thats what it was showing to me, and its 1,4 because is just suppling energy, not charging).
The time it takes to discharge depens on why is stuck on that black screen. Mine was stuck at the recovery screen and took like 2 hours to discharge completly.
Unfortunally I'm having artifacts again :/ so this time I will downgrade my phone to 6.0.1. The simptoms I have when it does this, are overheating and extreme lag whithout doing nothing. Another suspicion I have is, it seems that the device does this when it wakes up.
I will take it directly to sammy next week anyway for them to analise it. Will report back asap. Meawhile I will test out other stuff too see what can be causing this.
Should I just talk to Samsung in Dubai?
And im thinking that possibly just send it back to them directly and let them deal with it under warranty?
I'm wondering if they will even let me do this?
I have the original receipt or both the phones from where it was bought in dubai.
The worst thing is the phone is only 4 months old when I bought it brand new and the one I bought for my wife is fine...
Her one is running a absolutely perfect and all latest updates etc, never ever crashed or ever frozen once, and she does a lot of photo and video editing on Instagram as a food blogger so her photo and video apps really push the phone.

Well, like someone said a few posts above, it seems that there are some units that have a sort of defect in the motherboard related to power states. I suspect that I have the same defect on my device. Samsung has a global warranty http://www.samsung.com/sec/support/guarantee/InternationalWarranty/ so I dont know if this could help you. I'm lucky in that department since the company that sold it to me aquired it from dubai but the reciept is from my country so I can solve this problem here.
As a last resort you should sent it to dubai since its worth the money IMHO

That global warranty is only for Laptops, trust me I know from previous experience and it was excellent how they replaced and fixed my laptop even when i was abroad and once they sent me out a new battery whilst I was abroad to my hotel address.
butthey do not do global or international warranty on mobile phones.
The phone has to go back to samsung repair centre in the country of origin of the phone and they can tell just from the serial number.
So UK/Europe handsets can be repaired under warranty in country in Europe at samsung repair centres but they wont touch non UK/EU handsets. My Dubai/Gulf S7 edge can go back to any repair centre in gulf states or country.
Its ridiculous really as the phone is exact same hardware and even same model number as uk/eu S7 edge SM-G935F with the only difference being the regional stock firmwares.
I just laughed at the UK repair centre customer sevices guy as tried to convince me that the phones were different because they carried different software..... And thats why they cant touch a dubai phone as it according to him setup differently, just couldnt be bothered to argue or explain to him that I could make a uk phone look exactly like a dubai phone with the flashing of the correct regional firmware.
---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------
If I could just get the damn phone to power up im any mode again im sure incould try and fix it again with the proper latest 7.0 nougat stock firmware...
But i am suspecting like many others and lots of samsung warranty repairs being done here UK/USA and abroad all over the world that some particular version of these handsets definite motherboard problem and all being replaced by samsung under warranty and problems fixed after motherboard replacement....
Arrggghhh
Teaches me right for going for the titanium silver model...
Lol i should have just got the same as my wife and bought 2 gold handsets.... She wanted the gold and i wanted to have a different one to hers and preferred the silver...
So now another headache....
How the hell do i send this back to Samsung in dubai and havr them return ot back to me without facing any customs and duty tax issues in dubai, and also if and when they send the phone back here in UK i think I will face customs and duty tax issues here again.
Anyone know any info about this?

On Saturday night i was txting playing beer pong having a good time.
When all of a sudden a black screen came out saying something about how it was goin to restart and reset or something like that and that all my personal info would be gone.
So i did it and once it restarted it just stayed stuck on the boot up screen.
Not thinking twice about it as i was having fun i just put it in my pocket thinking maybe its gonna take a lil longer but then i realized after awhile it was still on that same screen.
I took out the batter turned it on again same thing happened.
I gave up and decided i'd just deal with it the next morning.
Next morning comes its now like around 1-ish crazy party haha
Point is phone is dead i charge it for 30 min? i try turning on and nothing.
So then i boot up pushing both buttons figured i would do a hard reset.
Still nothing!
My friend decides to take me home so i take this time to charge my phone a lil more with his car charger and at first it was charging then out of no where it doesn't charge?
No light?
No boot up?
Nothing?
I take the battery out and back in then plug it into the charger and the light doesn't turn on but my phone just starts vibrating uncontrollably...
This freaks me out so i take the battery out and again same thing.
I took the battery out for a couple minutes then put it back in and it started charging again.
yay!
Oh btw the whole time this happened i was able to get into bootloader mode so i figured it cant be bricked and i can fix it just got to charge it.
I got home battery wasn't that charged but i plugd it in to my computer in bootloader mode hoping it would charge for a bit then i downloaded a new rom and i read it was a good idea to use task29.
Sounded like a great idea to fix my phone.
I got the Repack by ShaDrac and flashed it on my phone.
One strange thing i did notice was that usually when i flash it i see HTC then a progress bar.
This time it was just blank all black but with the progress bar i saw it go all the way to 99% and 100% on my computer it even said successful flash.
But after that it just stayed off?
No reboot ?
NOTHING!
wont charge
wont turn on
no bootloader mode
completely bricked.
im sure the battery is just dead since it wasn't that charged to begin with but i have no way of charging it!
I did a lot of googleing and found no answers i refuse to believe its bricked!
it cant be rite??
If anyone could please help me i would really appreciate it.
Ive only had my HD2 for about a week =[
Oh and it's a T-Mobile US version unlocked.

On Saturday night i was txting playing beer pong having a good time.
When all of a sudden a black screen came out saying something about how it was goin to restart and reset or something like that and that all my personal info would be gone.
So i did it and once it restarted it just stayed stuck on the boot up screen.
Not thinking twice about it as i was having fun i just put it in my pocket thinking maybe its gonna take a lil longer but then i realized after awhile it was still on that same screen.
I took out the batter turned it on again same thing happened.
I gave up and decided i'd just deal with it the next morning.
Next morning comes its now like around 1-ish crazy party haha
Point is phone is dead i charge it for 30 min? i try turning on and nothing.
So then i boot up pushing both buttons figured i would do a hard reset.
Still nothing!
My friend decides to take me home so i take this time to charge my phone a lil more with his car charger and at first it was charging then out of no where it doesn't charge?
No light?
No boot up?
Nothing?

If you have only had it for a week then the best thing is to just take it back to wherever you bought it and ask for a direct replacement as it should still be within the time frame for that.
Sounds like you have done everything possible to bring it back, taking the battery out, hard reset. If it wont turn on, wont go into the bootloader and you cant get an activesync connection then theres not really much more you can do.
Mark.
yea i agree, dont waste time fiddling and trying to bring it back, get round the shop today.
Unfortunately thats not an option as i got it from someone else and then unlocked it since im on at&t. At most i would have to call htc and hope the manufactureres warranty can do something but i highly doubt it.
cant believe this is the end of my HD2

You might try taking the battery out and leaving it out for at least 24 hours. Sometimes that will reset a few things and bring the screen back on but im not guarenteeing anything. Yo uhave nothing to lose at this stage though. You could also try connecting it to your pc via activesync and see if it connects. Even if the screen isnt coming on you might still get a connection which you could use to flash a new rom.
Even getting a replacement battery off ebay very cheaply might sort it out as I have heard of batterys going funny before.
Just a few sugestions.
Mark.
all the phones should (I think) be manufacturer warrantied for the first year, so I bet htc will fix it, though you might have to pay shipping.
dig out your regions htc repair center and get in touch. so long as they can't see the hspl it should be free.(
I dont have HD2 (<--nexus one), but one thing i have noticed with all HTC phones that I've had something similar happen is when i have tired to reboot the phone by turning it off and then trying to turn back on it wont. I would take the battery out and still it will not. I would do the same with the sd card and same but what fixes it is taking the SIM out press the power button few times with no battery and then putting everything back on and it turns on. It happens in a while. Maybe not the same problem but i guess its worth a try if you haven't yet. One more thing I would try is to take the battery out, the sd card and the SIM card out and then plug your phone into the charger and wait a few mins to see if the led or screen would come on. Try the same thing by plugging it to your computer. If computer does make sound and it does detect your phone then it might just a screen related issue which might be the case since you already flash it with a different rom and nothing came on. I know you probably have tried this but you didnt say in your post but have you tried this?
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
“This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel.”
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
Good luck
I agree with mskip about the 24H thing if you let the internal/backup battery die it could solve a possible brick then by reflashing
also what deanesn said about the HD phones its also true (same prob with G1 and excalibur) sometimes out off nowhere it wont turn on or its just going to give you a black screen... wierd huh!?
important things I wanna know is
what rom where you using? what radio version? what were the last app or apps you installed on your HD2?
anyways from what I've read&done ever since I joined XDA this is the best thing to do in a situation like yours
This is when you get a black screen
1 if its stuck on the boot screen try to do another hard reset
2. if you cant or nothing happeneds try to see if you can acces the bootloader screen
3. if you cant, remove the batterie for like 24H or maybe more so the internal batterie dries out (if you do that make sure that you try to estimate around 50% to 70% before removing the actual batterie for reflashing)
4. then insert the batterie and try to acces the bootloader or hard reset by pressing the key combanations dont try to see if by a miracle chance it would fix the problem (trust me at this point it wont)
5. if it actually DOES bootup find and download THE STOCK ROM FROM TMOBILE
6. HARD reset if nothing then do it agn but before it has a chance to, try to boot up
7. quickly acces the bootloader wipe your phone (task 29 for hd2) and flash the STOCK ROM (not a custom rom. I read somewhere that its always better to go with an official tmo rom)
thats it Ive try many things on my ALMOST bricked situations this are the things Ive done MAYBE IT WONT WORK FOR YOU, one time I thought my excalibur was dead until I left my phone without a batterie for like a weak then later out of nowhere it boots up only on the first tmobile splash screen and I was able to fix it
LOL even tho those steps prob dont apply to you what you can do is call HTC and tell them you have a black screen on your htc DONT TRY AND ACT all smart by telling them you have a brick and you had a custom rom and all of that cause that prob voids your warranty with HTC, from what I've read this one guy told them that his girlfriend was texting and then the phone froze and the she remove the batterie and the screen went black. And he got a replacement
also another one that I read is a guy telling them he was doing an OFFICIAL ROM UPDATE and the phone never turned back on.
hope it helps
Mark:
Thanks, and this is actually my plan lol I used to flash my old motorola rizr all the time even had to testpoint it to bring it back from a complete BRICK! but the one thing i couldnt fix was water damage haha but after a week of having the battery out some how... miraculously it came back
Deanesn:
How is the nexus one? I was gonna get a nexus one or a hd2 but the screen size ended up being the tie breaker although ever since my g1, android has had my heart haha
Ive always hated windows mobile but the hd2 was perfect!
I also agree with what u said, i have seen those symptons before.
But yea thanks on the advice.. sadly... already tried it and nothing.. =/
Tuppaacc:
Thnx thats exactly what im trying to do.
My only problem is my battery is dead and i need to charge it!

I was using Duttys_Leo_Sense_2.5_5.2.21898.5.0.91_2.10_Radio_2.08.50.08.2_HG_V1.7_WWE Rom.
Im not really sure what radio i was using but if i had to guess i would say 2.10 since i dont remember flashing anything else and i heard the best radio was the one the HD2 already came with.
As for the last app installed ummm.... iGo8? not sure either but in total all the apps installed where
My Phone

iGo8
Aim
Flashlight
Glympse
umm cant think of any other ones. I know i didnt install much just had flashed the rom the night before.
again sorry for skipping your question.
try
try taking sd card out and boot it work for me
Here is what you have to do after I made a mistake and "killed" my US version HD2, but it's back to service.
First of all, you have to be sure the battery has at least 50% left. If the unit is able to charge the battery, leave it charged for a couple of hours.
Second, unplug all the cables from the unit, take the battery and wait for a few seconds, then put the battery back in. Press and hold volume down button and press red (end/power) button once. If everything goes well, you should see a tri-color screen.
Third, plug in the phone and run ROM update again.
WARNING: flashing will erase your personal data.

You need to get a desktop charger so you can plug the battery in and make sure its fully charged. I dont think they are available from shops but you can buy them online (ebay) for around a fiver.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Desktop-Battery...&otn=8&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=9087015918333818927
That one says for the T8585 but im pretty sure they both use exactly the same battery. You might want to check on that though.
Mark.
My goodness, that OP is a real doozie.
That's pretty wild man, although I don't have much input, other than the obvious suggestions that have already been provided for you... I will say that was a worthy read.
Yea thats pretty much my only option I will be buying that desktop charger real sooon and ill get back to the forum with my results.
Cant believe they are so cheap haha
Ive even seen one that comes with an extra OEM battery and charger for under 15 dollars!

U have a Bricked HD2 my friend
i bought the wall charger and it charged the battery but it still wouldnt turn on or go into bootloader mode or do anything!!

any luck with un-bricking your HD2?
Seems like OP bought a damaged phone in the first place or something, or something "happened" on the night of the party. Beer got on it, perhaps?
My friends Samsung Focus seems to have gotten stuck turning on just showing SAMSUNG... phone did not have a SD card in it all. We had tried a sd card but never worked so removed it. About a week later the phone just rebooted and got stuck on boot.. Did the hard reset a few times and nothing? Also I accidentally got the phone in download mode. Since i have a Captivate, ive seen the download mode before and used it for kernels and such.. Is there any use of it on the Focus somehow? It says download mode and then do not turn off. it takes about 10 minutes..
Anyone have any suggestions or know anything? Phone is unlocked for tmobile, so cannot go to ATT to get replaced..
Thanks
same issue - samsung black screen no sd card at all
My Focus did the same thing today - it was almost as if an auto update was sent out, and the device reset itself. When I tried to enter my passcode, i got errors, and then upon resetting I became stuck on the black samsung screen. I've tried hard and soft resets with and without the SIM card. Nothing.
Any advice, beyond heading into ATT tomorrow?
hard reset is the 3 button combo, right? if so whats the soft reset?
yes. hard reset is the +, power, camera combo. soft reset is just powering down and then starting back up.
That is the issue I am having with my phones and I believe it is heat related. Check battery meter when you do the battery pull and reboot. Also the battery is warm to the touch also the screen if it stays in the samsung boot mode.
mine did the same thing this morning... I have a warranty replacement on the way. Would love to know what/why/ fix etc... though.

Update on my situation: I was able to had reset it, but it still kept me at the Samsung logo. AT&T replaced it. That solved the problem
Same issue here with my Rogers Focus, it has happened on two devices now. Would love to know what the problem is, so when I get my third one I can avoid it.
Happened to my Focus as well. Since I'm using an unlocked device and I'm not in the US, it looks like I'm pretty much screwed unless someone comes up with a fix like a ROM or something that can solve the issue.
From what I can tell its not battery related at all. I tried the battery from a Galaxy S I had and still didn't fix the problem.
The thing is that Samsung of America firmwares are very hard to find. I have find all the Roms on this page http://www.samfirmware.com/ even instrucction on how to flash the phone. The thing is that they only have the Omnia firmwares, we need a i917 Rom. One more thing you can put your phone in Download mode pressing Volume Up and Camera botton simultaneus from there you can flash the Phone. Come on we need a real hacker who can bring us a firmware for this phone.
Going into download mode is pointless until we get a Firmware. Looks like no Dev/Hacker is interested in Samsung Focus right now.
Hello everyone.
I have a strange problem. My leeco le pro 3 x720 randomly freezes, turn itself off and goes to black screen with BLUE LED on.. Then i can press the power button for about 10 seconds and it boots into the system again. But then the other problem is, the phone doesnt search any wifi network because the wifi trigger cannot be activated, it always forces OFF. I sometimes boot a few times and then the wifi comes back but again randomly it boots into BLUE led again.. I have tried a few OREO roms but the problem persists.
What do you think? Is it a software or hardwore problem? Or is it bricked or will be dead soon totally?
Please help me. What can i do for this?
Did you tried a clean flash with formating all partitions? Also you can try a driffrent gaaps package. open gapps nano or pico is recomended.
Same Issue!

I am having the exact same issue.
My x727 was on charge and it rebooted all of a sudden and afterwards stuck on blue LED. I long pressed the power button to restart. After restating it freeze and rebooted into blue LED again. I was able to get into fastboot mode but my phone was not recognized by the computer. I gave up then!
The phone was working perfectly on stock Chinese ROM, with unlocked bootloader and TWRP installled.
ANY SOOLUTIONS?

Sorry guys, the blue light means battery death.
Honestly its not that big a deal, at least its not a dead motherboard. Just order another battery, and you might as well order a lcd screen too. Because you will break the lcd when you attempt to remove it.
To avoid breaking LCD use a heat gun. FYI, The battery will cost about $7 and the LCD is about $14

@tsongming i really dont know how to say but you must be a godgiven present for this forum! You are reaching almost to all topics and replying all the questions! Thank you for this!
Now i tell you and all what happened. I was on Bootleggers august build, wifi trigger still couldnt be activated, means no wifi no bluetoth but the phone stopped going to blue led/black screen. I used like that 1 day cos i needed the phone, i was on data internet not to lose my communication with people. I rebooted the phone a lot of times but the wifi still not came back! So i decided to downgrade to Nougat based rom Paranoid 7.3.5 unoficial by voron00 and from the beggining till now everything works without any problem... ! But this does not mean it wont repeat again!
Since my phone had this problem, i had been checking online other forums, especially this ''wifi cannot be activated'' problem, on most forums (samsung, sony xperia etc.) people commented that it might be a battery issue, it needs to be unplugged and replugged or buying a new battery solved their issues. So thats why i was checking on aliexpress some batteries and i saw your comment here! so am sure it %100 battery issue!
Right now i wont risk and will purchase a battery from china and go to phone shop and ask from my friend to replace it.
But i am not sure which battery would suit my phone %100 and wont repeat the same issue at least in the soon future.. Any help?

You are not alone. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...in-recovery-and-twrp-is-not-included.4498815/
I think we have one nature of the origin of the problem
Hello dear community,
I'm posting there because I have some doubts about my phone and i'd like some answers from you.
1 month ago, I was charging my phone. When it reached 100% battery, It was fine but the problem is when I was trying to press "power" to turn it on but It didn't want to. So, I removed the battery because I couldn't even turn it off. When I tried to restart it again, it didn't want to. No reaction to the "power" button.
I followed EVERY tips on Google but none worked. I also tried to change my battery but nothing. I tried also to connect it to my computer, it was detected but my phone didn't turn on.
So, I guess my phone is dead unless if there is a solution to make it working? Also before that, my phone was becoming very laggy and when it had a small lag, it was turning off and was rebooting.
Thank you in advance for your answers.

I have mustered some conclusions about your phone based on what you typed:
1st claim: The power button no longer works anymore
•Reason: "... when I was trying to press "power" to turn it on... it didn't want to... When I tried to restart it again, it didn't want to. No reaction to the "power" button."
—Seems like you're gonna have to find another Note 4 and replace its motherboard with the Note 4 whose power button doesn't work anymore after 5 years.
But before spending, I would like you to try this method from a Youtube comment:
"... you'll just have to keep the charger [cable connected] on [your phone] while you take off the battery, and put it back after; then, remove the charger quickly..."
—————
2nd claim: The screen no longer works
•Reason: "I tried also to connect it to my computer, it was detected but my phone didn't turn on."
—If the phone is charged, seeing nothing but blackness, but you still see an emitting LED light on the top-left corner, that's a sign that it still works, just not the screen. So I would suggest that you buy a new screen and replace it with your old one. If you think you can't, then go to a phone repair shop and let others do the repairing.
—————
3rd claim: The motherboard is dead
•Reason: "... before that, my phone was becoming very laggy and when it had a small lag, it was turning off and was rebooting."
—The motherboard might be dead if these are happening, but I don't think this is the right reason unless the first two conclusions are proven to be true. If the first two conclusions are proven to be false, then the motherboard is dead, and you may either buy another Note 4 motherboard or get a new phone.

Thank you for your answer.
To answer you clearly about all the points you clarified, there is no led light appearing when putting it on charge and I also tried the "Youtube comment" but nothing.
So I think, the motherboard is dead as you mentioned. I just don't understand how it died after a charge but as I saw on Google, it's a general problem on Galaxy Note 4, so I think i'm not surprised at all. It's been since 2015 I had it.
Thank you for your time and to have solved my doubts about the death about my phone.

Is this a serious thing ? (fridge)
I did the oven trick on my n910t. I left my phone stuck in the grill of my truck when I changed the brakes. I took it for a test drive and ended up running over the phone. Me being a noob at the time didn't know the AT&T Note 4 would not unlock Bootloader for custom roms or custom recoveries. I purchased the AT&T Note and was sorely disappointed there after. Flash 2019 I still have the motherboard for my note that I ran over. I can only get in to go into download mode and only when it was plugged in. I flash custom ROM or custom recovery and it would say would pass but it would just boot loop and boot loop. So I read somewhere where you can put it in the oven for around 5 to 6 minutes at about 200° and that it would settle any of the cracked solder that be around the emmc or anywhere else on the board. So I tried it. I stuck it in two different times at five minutes a piece, pull the board out and let it set for a day. I installed the board just a little while ago and she fired right up. It's amazing
I've recently replaced the motherboard on my N910F with a used one bought from AliExpress. As it's used I've no idea how long it will last but for £30 was worth a try.
It was pretty straightforward replacing the motherboard using one of the tear down guides on YouTube.
Please if you can help me answer me, this is my only phone and I need asap.
I have Huawei nova 3i, the battery has been in a bad condition for more than 4 months, and each day I noticed it had less life and a hot phone each time I charge it, one day I left it to charge and I swear it was for less than an hour I found the logo in my face, and it was stuck, I went yesterday after trying every possible way for a week of pressing power + vol down and power + vol up ( the first one made the phone keep booting again and again with the logo,and the second one made it keep vibrate with a black screen)
I let the battery drain and came back to pressing but the only thing came was the red battery meaning no power and red led light, so I got back on charger and repeated the above and nothing new came to light.
I took it to a tec center and someone said it might be battery, unfortunately I changed it for a high price and it didn't work after the change, still the exect same, I went home tried to enter erecovery multiple times but I never can, and I plugged it in a PC then a screen came to light, with the android bot and words saying in green
FRP Lock
Phone is locked
I was SO happy when finally something appeared, but again nothing I can do I pressed up down power, nothing happened in this screen too.
Please if anyone know any ANY possible way to get it back without losing data or with losing data ( but I will be much more happy if I didn't lose data I have so many files I need) kindly please just tell me, I can do it the work on a PC too just tell me the program needed and I will look it up.
I will thank u forever.
I forgot to mention that at the tec center they told me that it will need a box flash, something like miracle box maybe?
And again today I went to other tec center and he said flashing it might actually not make it work,so I'm really scared of what to do now.
What's the actual problem? The system? OS? It needs a new emui update? What exactly is the problem Does anyone know what the problem is for it to never comeback to life? Could it be in need of inside cleaning? Ugh I'm so lost
anything please
you went to official huawei center? they will not help you
go to any other 3rd party service center, and they can flash it
