Hello everyone!
My brother sent me is MX 030. It is the original Meizu MX HK version with the unlocked bootloader. Two weeks ago, he found his phone had crashed. The screen was black and he powering it off and then back on would not do anything (black screen - only vibrates on power on).
I got it today and first thing I did (after charging it-the charging mode works and displays a battery logo) was boot into recovery mode (or update mode on Meizu phones) and I was able to reach the menu. It let me mount the drive onto my PC. I downloaded the latest firmware and put it on the drive. I pressed upgrade and cleared data. The software seemed to install fine, but then the phone rebooted to a black screen - again.
Then I tried installing older versions which I found on the meizu website. They all install and I can see the recovery mode is different, but they all boot into black unresponsive mode (which drains the battery).
Having had other android devices before, I feel the phone is stuck in reboot loop.. I don't know what else to try or attempt. I feel am running out of options. The fact that the phone still responds to some commands and allows me to flash firmware should indicate that the phone isn't brain dead quite yet, right? Anyone else experienced a similar situation?
Thank you,
Oli
Hi,
I have this problem with my Galaxy S4 i9505 LTE. I was using this rom:
[ROM] Google Edition S4 rom for i9505[17 Dec][deodexed & odexed 4.4.2, 4.3 & 4.2.2] with I9505XXUEMKE_Modem.
I had some issue like random turn offs during call, lately the phone started to turn off more often and today it got worse. When I turned on the phone only the logo appeared, but the download mode worked. So I sad nevermind, I will flash back original ROM, so I flashed via Odin: ETL-I9505XXUEMK8.The flashig process went smoothly with no errors, but after the phone restarted the problem is still present (it didn't boot up).
Any suggestions? I am really desperate. Flashing back the original ROM was for me the solution for everything in every phone I had before.
Download mode still works fine but I am not sure what to flash and I don't want to just try everything. At least for the warranty issues I now have an original ROM inside.
Thanks guys!
I see u are using O2 company. The correct firmware for u is this one: HERE. Flash it and I think all will be ok :fingers-crossed:

Are you using the correct Odin version for i9505?

Thanks guys for the reply. I am using Odin 3.04, see the attachment.
The problem is still present, although a slight different. it looked promising because after the update the boot sequence started Samsung i9505 logo->O2 logo->SAMSUNG logo but then after 2 mins the phone turned off and now it turns off at this point (it stays on 2 minutes on the logo and then shuts down). I also removed my SD card and SIM card no difference.
I am really worried that some piece of HW is broken. I will have to take it back to Euronics, but what can I do to make it look like original?
On the other ROM it turned down after 2sec on this logo:

now it gets stuck for 2 mins and turned down on this logo:

Any other suggestions?
There are a lot of other options in ODIN, is there something I can do more e.g. reflash bootloader or something like that?
EDIT: I am suspicious about the battery because on the charger, it stays on longer also I discovered that without the cable plugged in, it turns off even in download mode after 10-15sec! Is this the case? I heard that some S4 had battery issues.
Thanks guys.
It's a battery problem, on charger the phone works.

Correct odin version for s4 i9505 is 3.09, it was made specifically for LTE version of s4. With others versions you can get errors like yours...

I have been having a problem with my note 4. When ever the phone is powered down and powered back up it reboots normally. I see my lock screen and everything is fine. The problem is when the phone locks either by the power button or just by screen time out. It stays a black screen even though i can swipe my my finger and hear it being unlocked. They only way to fix it is to take the battery out and reboot it then everything is good until i lock it again. Any help would be appreciated thank you.
Sorry me again just wanted to ask another question. I rooted my note 4 after this problem started happening. I used cf-auto root so from what information i have seen im still running stock recovery justed rooted. I was wondering can i flash a Samsung software upgrade without any problems. My problem with the black screen started after an software update so i wondering if i could flash and reinstall the update to see if that fixes my problem. Once again thanks in advance for your help im just trying to save my phone and hoping its not a hardware issue.
hi guys..so I was using phronesis rom on my Korean note 3 with custom kernel..when I used to turn the phone on it to say set warranty bit kernel on the top and used to get stuck at the logo then I would remove the battery and turn it on again and it would turn on..but yesterday my phone turned off automatically and was stuck in bootloop.it was not booting into twrp..so I flashed stock rom via odin but the bootloop was still there and I can not boot into recovery it would just restart and go back to booting normally and again bootloop..but if I remove the battery for a few minutes and then turn it on it works fine until i turn it off..now
thanks in advance.

From what I can tell, a possible issue you could have is with the battery. I used to have this problem, my phone would re-start for no apparent reason, couldn't even get to recovery. I switched the battery for another and it worked again. So maybe you could try that

Well buddy in my case it was not a battery issue..and after few times my phone is not even turning on its dead..:crying:
Hello today a screen replacement i ordered in aliexpress arrived and i did change it carefully (i did this process 2 times 1 in my phone and another in a cousin mi a1. No problems).
The thing is... after this i turn on the phone and the screen turns on but only until rom starts to load and then it comes black as if it wasn't turn on. The screen turns on also in fastboot mode but instantly shutdown when entering to recovery mode or normal boot as i said. The phone is working properly the rom loads and there is notification sounds and touch is working too.
If anyone can help me please. The only thing i can thing of is that the screen came with some strange malfunction.
EDIT: I flashed stock rom with flash_all and got the screen and everything working fine. I then tried again to flash a custom rom as i had before and screen failed to turn on again. Then i flashed stock kernel just to try if was it the cause and after this screen worked fine again but i lost wifi and probably there is other issues because of the stock kernel on a custom rom. I don't know if it may be because a different display driver or a kernel setting that may cause this malfunction. Hope someone can help me to solve this as i really want to use a custom rom.
