Ok, so I was running DCD ROM with no issues. I dropped my phone and the battery came out. When I put everything back in and turned the phone on, it brought me to the boot loader. Now, I know that there are some programs out there that can get me out of the boot loader, but I guess when I dropped my phone I broke something with the USB. I can charge my phone with no issues, but I cant sync my phone to any PC. Is there a way I can put something on my SD card so when I power my phone on it runs a program to get me out of the boot loader? I tried putting a new ROM on the SD card and it flashed it without any issues, but when I turned the phone on I was brought to the boot loader. Please help!
You have the beginnings of a hardware failure. There isnt a way around plugging your phone in and rebooting that i know of.
well I was able to install a ROM after all using my SD card.
Hi all,
I have a stock mytouch 4g and yesterday it froze during an update. After rebooting it a few times to no avail, I did a factory reset and still got nothing, it just kept getting stuck on the beginning image.
I factory reset it without the SD card, and it booted (showed me the introductory video) but then as it was asking me to set-up my e-mail accnt it froze again, and that was pretty much it. I reset it every which way after that and got nothing but it getting stuck on the first image.
I also can't go into recovery mode, nor fastboot. On recovery mode, it shows me the alert red triangle sign with an exclamation point.
Please help?? (I refuse to believe my phone crapped out bc of an update! =[ )
Thank you kindly,
Nasja
You need to find the stock rom and place it on the root of your SD card and then boot into hboot and it should ask you if u want to install update then just wait for it to install and your phone should work fine again

You'll probably need one of these. I'm guessing a gingerbread version.

PC not seeing the phone
Hey, thanks much for the reply, but I plugged my phone to my PC, but it doesn't see it (or read it rather, it pops up as removable disk but if I click it, it tells me I have to insert a disk ).

I had the same type of thing happen to a phone I'm looking at for a friend.
He lent it to me because it wouldn't boot past the mytouch logo. It would boot into boot loader, but wouldn't allow us to select wipe data / factory reset. I tried to apply the update through the Bootloader like preciously mentioned, but it kept hanging and wouldn't load after 10 minutes or more.
I've noticed it's extremely delayed when it even runs the scan in Bootloader for new recovery and other updates. It probably takes about 45 seconds to do the scan.
Anybody have an idea what's causing this? I read in another thread that it may have been caused due to the phone overheating.

Sorry for my first post here being one of cry for help but here goes.
I've had my phone with MIUI 1.8.19 franco kernel 2.6.32.9 perf (this kernel undervolts) for the past year, without messing with roms, the only change was updating recoverry to 5.0.0.26 if im not mistaken about 6 months ago, a great phone without problems, great wifi range.
4 days ago, im not sure if it crashed during the night or the battery ran out (was clocked at 900mhz), I plugged the cable and got the charging screen but if I tryed to boot it kept trying to boot but reseting (looping) immediately after it tries to load the OS.
Now heres what it can still do, if I try to get in to recovery it crashes after 3/4 secs, if I start it in PINK mode windows says I need to format the drive.
I'm afraid I could lose any chance of fixing beacuse now If I plug it I don't get the charging screen anymore and am afraid the corruption will get worse
Please point me out to a fix, theres still hope right?

format micro sd card and put official 2.3.5 or 2.2 file is dload folder. Press vol+, and power button while booting. It should work.
Thanks for the reply
I tryed that with 2.2, 5 times and at the very end I allways got an update failed, now I cant seem to get it to boot in any mode, seems dead

If you tried to downgrad from 2.3 (.35) to 2.2 (.32), you have to put the dload folder in the internal memory and not in the external SD.
Don't stress this is easy, either upgrade or downgrade with official release and you will be fine.
I have a backup of all the official releases. If you need any just say and will upload for you
I have a TMobile/MetroPCS GS4 model SGH-M919N that got stuck in a boot loop last week. I was finally able to find working firmware last night and used Odin to flash. Once it got to PASS my phone automatically rebooted with the blue recovery boot text in the top left, but then it just went back into a boot loop. I tried all other firmwares and none of them got to 100% so now I don't know what else I can do.
I have the same issue on a GT-i9505. I was using my phone this evening when it randomly rebooted and just keep rebooting until I removed my battery. After that, it was dead . Flashing stock firmwares like shooting a minigun and nothing works. Smells like a hard brick?

Have you tried replacing the battery? I figured I would try that but I havent gotten around to it yet
Not yet, i have no spare battery. Looks like when i plug the charger my phone just vibrates, like it's rebooting, and it's not showing anything. I found a similar issue here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532447
Looks like one guy did solve his problem.
*need to mention that by dead I mean it shows the "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505" logo and also shows "RECOVERY BOOTING", even though I didn't enter in recovery mode. Looks like now it doesn't shows anymore "RECOVERY BOOTING", but still, it doesn't boot. I was able to flash firmwares via odin and kies, but still no luck.
LE: It start booting by.. magic, i got to samsung boot logo, but that's all, crashed again.
After flash with Odin, immediately boot into recovery, perform a factory wipe, and reboot.
The problem is it doesn't boot into recovery.
LE: I managed to flash twrp via odin and boot into recovery, but i have an error:
"Unable to mount /data"
Any ideas?
LE2: Everything is useless, i managed to flash the rom, manage to boot into the rom, but then it will still reboot (which it did). Next step will be maybe to disassemble and clean all contacts.

How did you manage to get into recovery?

Yes, but if I leave my phone in recovery (stock or custom), it just either freezes, either reboots, even though i don't do anything, just let it idle.
I can't manage to boot into the ROM 'cause eventually it will reboot. I couldn't finish the setup wizard.
OK so I don't know if this helps, but I managed to at least get past the "blue recovery boot" part. When the phone vibrated I let go of the power while still holding home + vol up, and I managed to get to the android guy with a blue progress bar below him. My phone shut off as the progress bar got 80-90% but now I know it's not impossible to start recovery.
Well, nothing works. After flashing pit file, an 4.4.2 odin prerooted image from here, cf auto root and then twrp, it will still randomly reboot. I manage to get past the boot logo into setup wizard, but phone just freezes after a couple of minutes, can't finish the setup wizard. Also, if i idle in twrp it will reboot sooner or later, tested already.I left my phone idling in twrp just to recharge my battery.
At least i have no more "unable to mount /data" errors.
I finally got it to work, all I had to do is keep flashing twrp and stock firmware back and forth. But it is just one problem after another with this thing, the problem now is every 5 minutes it will freeze and restart, also it tells me there is no sim even though it worked the first time i put it back in.

It means he flahsed and reflashed many times until he got lucky and it worked. That's what happened to me also. But i have the same issue, phone reboots or freezez after a couple of minutes, even though everything else is installed properly.
Dude, we have the same issue. Btw, is this happening to you too? Like, now and then when the phone freezes, that the screen is turning to a bright yellowish green?
I know a friend who repairs phone hardwares for a living, i gave it to him, i'll let you know how this went.

I got several times into Recovery Mode now, flashed several ROMs. I had no issues with freezing, especially not in TWRP Recovery Mode. But sometimes if i am trying to go into Recovery Mode or i just want to start ROMs, the screen turns into yellow behind the Samsung logo. If i dont take out the battery this wents into a complete white, but nothing happens.
Yes please tell if you got some news..

But it is sure that the power button is working because i get this blue "recovery booting". Or am i wrong?
So.... bad news, the guy whom i gave the phone to said that it's a short on the motherboard and there's nothing he can't do other than changing the motherboard. If you guys found another solution and that guy is mistaking, let me know.

Replace power button to new one. I have the same problems with s3 and this works. Try it.

My phone is dead, it's not even charging anymore. The guy whom I give it to said it's a short on the motherboard. You guys managed to solve something with your phones? Or still a dead end?

If You can't charge phone... Yup, motherboard is died. If You plug the charger and see something this have to be button but if You plug charger and don't see anything this is motherboard.
