Hey everyone, I recently got an i9505 that...Is unable to boot and stay on. It doesn't get past the splash screen and reboots itself, the only way to let it stay on is booting in recovery mode or download mode. I tried flashing various Odin packages and PITs, but nothing changed, except for the fact that before it wasn't able to boot in recovery, while now it is. I tried booting with another battery, but the result is the same, and the problem isn't the power button since it doesn't reboots while in recovery or in download mode. Any suggestions to make this old thing work again? Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English.
Hi,
Start by booting into recovery mode. Then clear the cache, after restore factory settings. Reboot the phone and give it 10 to 20 min to boot.

I had Cyanogenmod 6.1.1alpha8.1 on my spica. Recently it got a little bit laggy so i decided to flash it with odin to restore the original firmware and install everything else from the beginning. I tried to flash it with I5700XXJH6. The flashing went fine, but when spica started booting, only the first, static bootlogo showed up and there was even no progress bar. After 20 minutes nothing had happened so i tried to flash it with 1.5, then install Lk10 to get into recovery mode, so i could get access to the phone's shell. Unfortunately, after flashing everything was the same - static bootlogo and no progress bar. Installing LK10 went fine, but the phone still wouldn't boot into recovery mode. I tried many different ROMs and one of them worked - the system booted properly, everything seemed to work at first glance, but when i inserted the SIM card and input the PIN code, the phone got stuck on "Unlocking SIM card". I tried rebooting many times but it didn't work.
Once again i tried to flash it with odin and everything was the same as before. I tried a few times, but now there's no download mode and when i connect the phone to the charger, nothing shows up on the screen.
Is there anything else i can try to do?
i had and solved the same issue yesterday.
I think part of the issue is maybe with a previous FileSystem conversion and another part with data/cache from previous Roms.
Try to make an install as clean as possible.
- I5700XXJH6 with Odin
- LK2.08 with odin
now you have an acessable recovery.
- boot the phone and put the CyanogenMod 6.1.1 alpha8.1 (found on 'forum dot samdroid dot net') on the root of the sdcard.
- shutdown the phone.
Important: disconnect the phone before booting in recovery, else it will boot normaly.
- boot in recovery (Volume down, accept call, on/off button)
- apply the downloaded zip.
reboot normaly, if it loads normaly, yay!
If it doesnt load (wait 5 mins to be sure) pull out battery.
reboot in recovery, and wipe data/cache (factory reset)
reboot normaly, if it loads normaly, yay!
If it doesnt load (wait 5 mins to be sure) pull out battery.
reboot in recovery, and make sure data,cache and system are rfs.
to change it to rfs 'advanced>filesystem conversion'
reboot normaly, if it loads normaly, yay!
if not send me a PM.
I already tried installing I5700XXJH6 and LK2.08 but neither the system nor the recovery mode would load - only the first, static bootlogo showed up. I can't try again because the download mode doesn't work any more and when i connect the charger, the screen remains black.
As I wrote in the first post, i managed to get it working once, but it had problems with the SIM card, so i tried different ROMs, which seems to have broken my spica entirely.
Is there anything i can do to restore the download mode?
im assuming you tried starting downloadmode without it being connected to a pc.
I dont know how to restore downloadmode, perhaps the guys at the samdroid forum can help you out.
Hi all,
I have an issue with my D802 int LG G2.
I attempted to flash the 4.4 update from this thread via CMW recovery however part way through the install, the phone turned off and tried to restart.
As a result, the phone now only shows the LG logo and the LED changes colour constantly.
I cannot seem to get it to boot into a recovery mode, nor download mode..
Any ideas? I've had a search around but there doesn't seem to be too much help..
FYI, I can access the 'hard reset' menu by holding Vol - and power twice on boot, but that seems about it.
Looks like i've managed to resolve the problem - Get to the hard reset screen and opt to reset it to then go back to the custom recovery. Simply restoring my old backup worked.
I Just recently tried to roll back to the NCG kernel from lollipop on my verion s5 and now I am stuck in the recovery boot screen. Plugging it in to the laptop makes the phone go to the recovery boot screen. Also, i tried a factory data reset as well as a cache partition wipe but i have had no luck of getting past the recovery screen. Upon shutting the phone off and booting up, it just stalls at the samsung logo screen and then goes to the recovery boot screen. I have tried taking out the battery and sim card and booting after that to no success as well. If anyone has any info on how to get past the recovery boot screen and get my phone back to working i would be extremelly thankful.

You might have to use a usb jig. You power off you phone, plug in the jig and it boots you to download mode.

can you hold the buttons necessary to get into download mode? It's "looping" but if you can get into Dl mode, you can reflash the ROM
Hello
So today was planning to flash with a new ROM, so i started to do a factory reset from with in android, nothing happened
so i reboot the phone to enter recovery mode to do it from there, using Teamwin for that. But when booting up, getting the message entering recovery mode 5 sec later i see the logo for Teamwin and here it stops.
The logo keeps flashing every 4 seconds or so. Have tried without Sim card, done the battery thing where i remove
it and hold the power button for a while, but all end up in same, the teamwin logo flashing
As far as i can see i can´t enter anywhere to flash the phone as the only thing i get is a flashing logo...
Also Odin does not detect the phone via usb either
is there a way to resolve this?
Thanks
Hello!
It's my first time here on XDA-Developers, so I hope I can solve my problem here. So, I flashed with ODIN my SM-G530FZ with the Stock ROM, since I had some issues with the phone. I wiped Data, Cache, System and Dalvik Cache via TWRP before doing this. After the flash, I couldn't start the phone anymore. Only when it's connected to my Samsung charger. Then, it started on its own and got stuck at the boot logo. I had to remove the battery to stop the process. But the same thing happened when I put the battery back in. Phone boots up when it's being charged. I tried to go to recovery mode, but nothing happened. Also tried to do the same thing with download mode, but this didn't work as well. I assume that I have bricked my phone pretty bad, so I hope that I can find some help here
Thanks for reading!
I've hard brick my 1H like this before, so I had to make a USB JIGG, made it with 1 dollar in materials.
You can buy these on the internet for about 3 bucks if you don't know how to build one or look up some tutorials.
What they do is force the phone to go into download mode.
Now, the commands for recovery and download mode could have been damaged so this should work unless.. you actually damaged them both from ever working.
