my galaxy s4 is always boot looping into Samsung galaxy s4 screen. only the download mode screen appears but it reboots again after 5 seconds and keeps on rebooting . any help ?
Do you run with stock or custom recovery? Have you tried to (re-)flash a custom recovery (CWM highly recommended)?

Hm, if I understand you correctly, you can boot into download mode but it just lasts a couple of seconds before it reboots on its own, right? You cannot boot into recovery as the screen simply stays black. Can you boot successfully into /system or does it bootloop as well?
Sounds like a hardbrick to me, the only thing I can think of before sending your phone in for repair is to pull out the battery for 1 hour or so, reinsert it and boot directly into download mode and see if it stays there. If it does, flash a custom recovery using Odin and check whether you can boot into it afterwards.

I think it has nothing to do with it
I'm, I was actually, on stock everything, rom, kernel and recovery
30 68336826
OK so I left my phone without a battery in it for the afternoon, just got back home and gave it a try.
It booted. No idea why or what actually went wrong.
Lets hope it doesn't happen again!
OK, So the point that the phone just start booting just the moment the battery is inserted got me thinking
IS IT THE POWER SWITCH?
and indeed it's, the power switch is stuck on, although I can feel the click when I push, still, seems like something is wrong with it
so I tried to suck it out, hit the phone softly few times while the power switch is facing the ground
inserted the battery, aaaand, it didn't start booting, pressed the power softly, and horaaaaay, it's working
Had the same issue and indeed I knocked the power button several times and it worked very well. Thank you! You saved my day

I have similar problem... and identified its power button.
How i identified is as phone switched on i hold menu button and volume down button together and
it booted in download mode, for download mode you have to keep pressing power button, volume
down button and menu button but it went without pressing power button.. so i assume that its power
button.
Try it... hope will identify your problem
same Problem
Hello!
I have the same problem, and disassemble the cell and saw that the button will operate properly .
Someone has managed to get out of this problem?
thanks a lot... i was facing same problem... i hit ma phn near power switch...again n again... it worked... love u xda
whoa, I just got this problem recently, because some of bezel around my phone has cracked, then I try to glue it roughly.
at the other hand, I tried to install new kernel. I tought that kernel make my phone bricked. then I found this thread. so I open my case. and found my glue sticked to the power button, remove it and. voilaaaa~
thank you XDA. you never cease to amaze me. lol
Hey all, completely new to this forum and my Oneplus Two that I've had for a little over two weeks.
I recently got a OTA update for Oxygen 2.2.0 but I can't seem to install it. Everytime I download it and click the "install" option, the phone reboots (probably to go to recovery) but after a very brief splash screen and a vibration, it vibrates again and displays the standard boot splash screen, boots into the OS and offers me to download the update again.
I've done a little troubleshooting in the past two-three days and from what I understand, the phone doesn't seem to be able to boot into recovery or fastboot. I've enabled the advanced options in the "reboot" menu and when selecting "recovery" the phone reboots and does the same behavior described above. I tried powering off the phone and booting with the volume up button pressed (while pressing power) and the phone boots and displays a "Fastboot Mode" splash screen but it seems to hang there forever until I actually shut it off again and power it back on. Also, I've tried booting it into recovery from ADB, connected to my PC and I get the same behavior: brief splash screen with a vibrate and then the phone seems to reboot again normally.
I haven't tampered with the phone yet, it is brand new out of the box, not rooted and nothing other than simply installing a few games, Nova Launcher, changing the wallpaper and using it as you would normally use your phone.
Anyone has an idea how I could actually get the Recovery functioning on this phone?
Best regards and thanks in advance for any help!

That is the norm for fastboot, it doesn't go past that screen.
It may not make a difference, did you try to boot to recovery via Power+Volume Down buttons?
Greetings Khaos64,
Yes, I've tried booting with Vol-Down+Power but the phone does not start.
With volume-up+power, I get the Fastboot splash screen but the phone does not respond to any input.
I tried selecting "bootloader" from the reboot menu but I get the same thing: Reboots and after a second, the phone reboots again normaly and into OxygenOS.
Is there a way to verify if the bootloader or recovery is corrupt and maybe reflash the stock recovery onto the phone?
Thanks for your input!
You may just want to go straight to oneplus support since everything is stock and only 2 weeks they should be able to get you updated or replace it.
If you'd like to be more hands on... maybe something below can help.
So your phone isn't recognized/no commands acceptred from your computer when booted to fastboot?
Such as unlocking your bootloader and booting into twrp... "fastboot boot yourfilename.img" or maybe flashing it.
Make sure OEM unlocking is selected in Developer options.
If you can't do that then this may not work but is worth a shot.

I did try to contact Oneplus for support but I am not the one who purchased the phone. Long story short, it was a gift from my girlfriend that she bought off of someone. The phone was new in box and was a warranty replacement. I would have to contact the seller and go trough him for support unfortunately.
Thanks for the different suggestions!, I will fiddle around with it this afternoon while the kids are having their mid-day nap and I'll get back with the results
Thanks again for the help, it's greatly appreciated!
Hello,
I eventually started fiddling around with fasboot and tried unlocking the bootloader. This sent the phone into a bootloop where it would try to boot into recovery and reboot right away.
I found an article on how to restore the phone to Oxygen 2.1.1. It would wipe user data but I did it anyway and it actually did restore the phone and now I have a worling recovery.
Here is a link to the guide I used:

HI there,
I am having the exact same issue with my oneplus 2. Unfortunately i know almost nothing regarding these android thingy. I know it has been almost 2 years, would you mind guide me through the steps? I would appreciate it so much.
Thanks.
I have a Nexus 4 with the latest OTA (LMY48T) that suddenly shut down one waking morning. It couldn't boot, couldn't charge, was unresponsive. Until I tried the "Power button + Vol down for 15 sec and then plug the charger" trick. I was able to bring it to charge powered off, and I thought that was that. After an hour or so, I got a bit impatient and tried turning the phone on while charging. It booted, but only until the boot animation, and then it stopped and shut down on its own. On the off chance that I was able to boot it again, it resulted in a boot loop: boots until the boot animation, stops, restarts. At this point the phone was bootloader locked, unrooted, stock everything.
Right now, I am able to occasionally access fastboot and recovery (its behavior is no longer consistent; I have to do the charging trick mentioned above quite a few times [it now fails on occasion] before I can make the phone enter fastboot). Through fastboot, I have been able to flash different builds: 4.2.2 (JDQ39), 4.4.4 (KTU84P), 5.1.1 (LMY48M), 5.1.1 (LMY48T). But all of them resulted in the same boot loop pattern. The phone boot loops until its battery drains. Yes, I've tried clearing the cache and factory resets after flashing but to no avail. Any idea what's happening? Is this a hardware issue?
I can't make it enter HS-USB QDLoader mode through the PC, hence I can't use the LG BoardDiag method. I also wanted to use the LGNPST method, but all the links for the resources I've found are now dead. Help!
Here are some videos of the boot loop:

When you say that you flashed different builds (KK, LP), it means you are flashing the factory images by wiping everything, right?
I would have tried to flash TWRP and then would have tried to flash any MM ROM. See if that helps

Hi Nikhil,
Can you try to get into recovery mode? You need to understand a few commands of ADB also. Don't worry. Your phone will be working again. Remove the battery for a few seconds and put it back. Don't start the phone. First hold the volume up button and then at the same time hold the volume down button. Keep pressed both the buttons and then press the ON button ( All three buttons at the same time ). After your device vibrates a little and sows the YU Logo, let go of all the buttons......you should get into the bootloader menu. Tell me if you can do that. Will explain the steps further after you reply.
Yes I can enter into the recovery mode, but when I try to enter into the bootloader it shows fastboot mode for a sec and then all black screen. I want to tell you that my phone is not rooted and neither i unlocked the bootloader nor installed twrp or cmw!! But still it is bricked without any reason. Is there any solution to recover my data??

Hello..watching my switched off yureka for over 3 days now. Tried flashing cwm recovery finding nothing else to do. Till that time I hadn't tried switching the phone on while plugged in. Don't know if the cwm recovery thing worked or not, but from then on I am unable to reach the recovery (vol up+vol down+power).
But then suddenly in the plugged in state my phone comes alive and boots completely!!!:cyclops::victory:. And then I get to know that while charging, the gandu phone is completing its boot process. But after a few minutes its blacking out and starting its on and off routine again. (minutes varying from 1 to 45 , not sure depending on what, because now I am running hotspot and LTE on the phone to write this on the laptop..and yet it is awake for more than 45 minutes now got a vibe that if the screen is turned off the phone will not shut down. ) ... guys please help. how to make it work without the usb pushed at its back...?
Edited a day later: went to the service centre.. They simply said the battery needs to be replaced. Yes it is all good now. Relieved.

yes it did stuck once or twice at the userdata erasing stage when I was putting up the new ROM but after some attempts,it never got stuck at any stage but even after successful installation, the problem existed...Now I have given my phone for repair and the store person said that there is some power issue in the board...its not an software isssue.

It was solved after I changed the USB port on laptop. I got far as installing tissot_images_7.8.23_20170823.0000.00_7.1_61cf97d794 image and booting to fastboot and then TWRP. But after flashing AOSP extended rom it gave me "The system has been destroyed" screen. And somehow recovery is not staying. It apparently gets wiped after reboot.

I've also tried different ports, still the same message of the hello packet thing. Also when I have the phone connected to the computer I've a white led light blinking.
From reading other threads here and Xiaomi site the deep flash cable opens the com port, I already have this but won't work. There was something about a loader.img, flashing this to an sdcard and holding power and vol down button it then should boot the loader IMG and rescue the phone, this also fails for me.

Yup, I ruined one of my usb-C cable trying do do deep flash that way. I failed, so I went to one repair shop and open up the device and did the "two point short thing", which helped to be recognized by the flash tool. Then it showed me that "hello packet" thing.
Then I dug around the Internet for couple of hours and changed the USB port on laptop. I also restarted the laptop after I reinstalled the drivers. Then it actually flashed that ROM I mentioned above. But just that ROM. I tried the latest to oldest versions and all of those ROM would flash but then they will brick the phone again. Only that one worked, i.e. helped me to get to bootloader. But alas it is stuck there, no matter how many times I clean flashed it, it is refusing to boot to system. It gives me "Your SYSTEM HAS BEEN DESTROYED" message on every boot. It only goes to bootloader if I press Volume Up + Power button while booting. And it's a dead end for now. I don't know what else to do.
Also this phone was bought in Hong Kong and its warranty won't work where I am right now. I already took it to the authorized service center and those lazy people told me to change the motherboard and it will cost around $180. So I took it back. lol

still no hello packet
Your timeout for edl mode has passed
You must press power button for 10-15 sec to power cycle the phone
Or open it up and remove battery socket
Or wait for battery drained out
And after that edl will accept hello package

:victory: Held the power button, clicked flash.. Success :good: it's in the process of flashing now. Thank you
Edit: successful flash now to just let it charge up. Thanks again guys for the help/suggestions ?
Update, i flashed the Oreo stock it gave my a successful flash, let the phone charge to near full. Booted the phone up, got as far as sending information to Google option and the screen became non responsive and the phone rebooted, it did this a few times and I gave up and put it in fastboot mode.
I did another flash using a different option clean flash still with Oreo ROM, I think first time I did it with keeping data not 100% though.. but ended up with the same result of it going into random reboots at different points in the setting the phone up stage.
I've now tried two 7.1.2 stock ROMs with the same results ???
I'll try a custom ROM tomorrow see if that sorts it, if not I'm out of ideas. So freaking close ?

Ur presist partition is damaged..thr are many guides here about recovering it
Do the "factory flash" mode in MiFlash under EDL mode as a last resort. May wipe your IMEI and MAC's, not sure.
Could not receive magic packet is solved by using USB2 port, Windows 7 x86 (32-bit) in a VM, or power-cycling the device and starting over, any or all of the above.
Deep flash cable is only for kicking the phone out of diagnostic mode and into QDFlash mode. Not necessary if using test point. I had to use testpoint method myself, couldn't get deepflash cable to work for getting out of diagnostic mode. I hope I can get it working next time though when I inevitably brick it from repartitioning; as I broke my screen when disassembling

No luck with flashing the persist.img either from 7.1.2 or 8.0 stock ROMs. I used the fastboot method and twrp with both ROMs.
I've tried the factory flash with 8.0 ROM in miflash tool this to hasn't solved the problem. It reboots on the set up I unlocked the bootloader to boot twrp flashed persist it reboots as far as bootloader unlocked screen and it stays there. ?
I'm guessing even flashing a custom ROM will do nothing either?

Did you find the guide about fixing constant reboot? It's around somewhere, might be on MIUI forum.

Please try presist resurrector from guides section
I think i've got it back to life.
first tried to flash 7.1.2 stock the earliest one (tissot_images_7.8.23_7.1), it hung on flashing it for nearly an hour with no success, closed the miflash application then tried another 7.1.2 (tissot_images_7.10.30_7.1)flash successful, then in stalled twrp did the persist command and reboot nearly got to the home screen just never getting over the line. then i flashed January 8.0 oreo (tissot_images_8.1.10_8.0) and was able to get on to the home screen/go into settings/enable developer options but it would eventually reboot itself, went back into twrp and did the persist command again and reboot.. success (fingers crossed) now downloading/applying April security update as i type this.
Boo installation problem with the update
looks like i lost my imei, https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/guide-how-to-restore-imei-permanently-t3759190 this is going to be a pain.. i'll post back when i try this. need a break from this mess ive made lol
thanks for the help/suggestions appreciated big time.
edit: up to the latest update April 1 security patch.
all done, down to 7.8.23 rom, did the stuff to get the imei back then flashed latest oreo rom

it was solved after i changed the usb port on laptop. I got far as installing tissot_images_7.8.23_20170823.0000.00_7.1_61cf97d794 image and booting to fastboot and then twrp. But after flashing aosp extended rom it gave me "the system has been destroyed" screen. And somehow recovery is not staying. It apparently gets wiped after reboot.
