Please help ASAP. I tried to install lineage os with MindGapps. After I flashed lineageos with twrp, I rebooted it and now it doesnt turn on. I tried to go to download mode, but doesnt.
The phone doesnt turn on. When I press and hold power button + volume down button for 7 seconds, samsung+knox logo appears and then 'phone bootloader unlocked' warning appears for few seconds.
An hour ago, somehow I managed to open its download mode. To test how it got opened, I restarted my device, but unfortunately, I couldnt go back to download mode. Is there any way to solve this problem? I want to go back to download mode
Hold the volume + and - buttons down at the same time and then plug in the usb cable into the phone.

I first flashed twrp-black or something and it didn't work properly so I installed twrp-official downloaded from website. But then, after installing the official one, the recovery got corrupted. I couldn't boot into downloadmode, but luckily, it was just some key combination that was wrong, so, with a right key combination. I booted into download mode and reinstalled the initial firmware.

Hello, I just finished to install LineageOS on my A20 and after reboot I saw the same message of Samsung Knox and the bootloader warning then a black screen and reboot automatically. Any sugestions?

Yes, it just looks like it is bricked but it is not yet completely bricked.
The solution was simple.
First, completely power off device (don't restart, just turn off). After that, by certain keys combination, go to download mode.
It seems it doesn't work while restarting but works if it is completely turned off.(At least in my case it had been so)

I do know how to enter in download mode, but even when I upload the TWRP again and start over the process it get into the same black screen. I was wondering if Samsung Knox is blocking this action.
I have a one A20(SM-A205F).And I when installing the rom with odin in device, I unplugged the device cable on pc. Since that time device no reaction.PC, seen one second device's processor name. Can I bring the device back to life ?

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.

Im also having the same problem as of this last night.
cannot boot into recovery.
boots to download mode first screen but when I attempt to press volume up to accept, it reboots.
as soon as i put the battery in it cycles through the samsung logo.
tried removing memory card but didnt help.
tried keeping battery out overnight, nothing.

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

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?

Hello,
I loaded my SM-G900F with a custom rom and it suddenly died... There is no way to switch it on and when I connect it to my laptop it shows QHSUSB_BULK under device manager. I read a lot of posts and I understand that I need an unbrick image to boot from an sd card. Is that the right thing to do?
I would really appreciate is somebody could help.
Thanks in advance!

What rom, and what version were you on when you started? Which recovery, and which version do you have loaded? What, exactly was the procedure you followed, and what version of which custom rom did you try to flash?

Hi hexavoodoomal!
Thanks for replying to my message. The ROM was Sixperience 7.0. I am not sure about the recovery... I am sure I had TWRP installed.
Everything was working fine. The ROM installed properly and worked with no problems for a couple of days but suddenly the phone died. I am sure that it was updating something from Samsung. ANT+ may be?
Can you help?
Thanks!!

I hope so. Can you boot into recovery by removing the battery, and waiting for 10 secs, replacing the battery, and depressing the volume down button, the home button, and the power on button all at the same time?

No. I cannot boot in recovery mode. I tried several times...
Volume down is download mode
Volume up is recovery
A ROM can not break download mode, it's hard coded into the hardware, if removing the battery hasn't worked, power it on, and hold the power button for 30 seconds, remove the battery for 30 seconds, replace and try again
Oops, ha-ha. I called it recovery' didn't I? My bad. Get into download mode, follow the prompt, get odin, and flash the stock ROM for your phone. You can find links to the latest firmware on this site. There are other sites that have it too, but yiur best served geting it here. That will get you back where you started.
Well this is my first post here.I flashed cm 14.1 on my devices with gapps through twrp.I managed to get to recovery with the adb drivers (as I mentioned I have a broken button so pressing Volume Down+Power+Home won't work).Everything was ok but due to the critical bugs of this rom (was still in development) I decided to downgrade to cm 13 which had less bugs.So I tried getting into recovery but everytime I gave the command in it would reboot to the system (not even in stock recovery).So I decided to flash the stock rom with odin and then try entering recovery mode.After flashing I actually realised that I f*cked up cuz I couldn't wipe the system data/davik cache,due to the fact that my home button is broken and so i cant access my stock recovery.Now my device is in bootloop...I already have a usb jig and it will just make it boot into download mode where i cant really do much.Any help would be appreciated.

I had to reboot my device due to problems with my speaker. Now i'm not able to boot anymore.
I'm only able to get into ODIN Mode, and flashing new FW or TWRP does nothing. It'll flash correctly, but as soon as it sends the reboot command the device powers off and does not boot, and no, it does not reach the "Galaxy s8, powered by android screen".
It does not want to power on, and only responds to the odin button combo, can't boot into recovery either since nothing works.
I was running the latest version of Renovate Ice if that matters.
I've searched trough some other threads, but it seems like i'm the only one that's having this problem.
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Edit 1: I've tried flashing both AQK7 and AQG5. Both flash fine, but as soon as odin sends the reboot command to my phone, it turns off and does not turn on.
Auto Reboot is ticked. Same goes for any version of TWRP, it will flash, but when it has to reboot the device turns off and does not turn on. There's nothing on the screen, its completely black and the only thing that does work is Download Mode. I've also tried ereasing nand, and repartitioning storage. Both seem to have 0 effect. As stated in one of my replies, i was running the latest build of renovate-ice with magisk, no other mods, or themes installed.
Im a bit confused - you can only boot into download mode (not into twrp?) and the phone is in bootloop? Have you flashed anything (mod?) before or activated a substratum theme which could cause this?
The only thing I can think of is a) you delete in twrp file manager the corrupted file, if there is something like this or b) a twrp restore from a backup. Boot into download mode and then do not press vol up to go into odin mode but press vol down to reboot - then immediately press the combo for twrp and you will get to the recovery. This helped my s8 many times when I was in a bootloop and couldnt boot up twrp

Thanks for the reply! Other than using the Renovate-Ice rom, and running magisk the thing was pretty much stock. wasn't messing around in twrp either. Its not stuck in a bootloop either, it just refuses to do anything other than go in and out of DL mode. The phone does not respond to any button imputs other than DL mode. As stated in the OP it does not boot at all, just a black screen. i've already tried to reflash a stock FW and TWRP, but that does not seem to work...
try the method I did - this is the last thing I could think of, before reflash the whole phone with odin

if you can get into download mode then get into download mode and leave phone, then download samsung smart switch for your pc (older version like 4.1.17022_20 from here http://www.filehorse.com/download-samsung-smart-switch/29268/ that allows phone based recovery), once installed open it, then click on more at top right, (do not update the software if you get a prompt) select emergency device recovery...., then click on right tab (device initialisation) and fill in your phone details etc., connect your phone (in download mode) and follow the process, maybe it works, you'll need to root and install TWRP again but thats no big issue.

HI
So i was trying to restore my LG G2 D803 phone and I accidentally unplugged it when I was doing the LG Tools process, I turned off my phone so I can reset it but now it doesn't work anymore. So now my phone can't use Firmware Update, and every time I tried to escape it, by hold the power button or anything, it goes back to Firmware Update where its now at 0%. What do I do now?
EDIT: I think the problem i'm facing right now. Is that it keeps going into a glitch download mode when I turn my phone on, and I can't access download mode properly or factory reset, due to going back to the glitched download mode. I tried to flash it properly, letting it drain battery on itself, and turning it off FULLY & turning it back on, where all these methods would just lead back to the glitched download mode.

Can you elaborate more when you say it doesn't work?
After you hit flash on the software, don't do anything for like 25mins. It may show you error messages on computer, that it failed or whatever, pop up windows, don't click on anything just let it stay like that. The progress bar can also be stuck on the phone, not a problem. Give it that 25 mins.

It didn't show any progress on the phone, and also said an error on not working. And there would be no change in the download screen, like it would say that nothing is downloading from the USB port it is in and etc.
But I try to wait for 25 mins and see.

I cant do it for now, but I think the problem is that my phone is in a loop of download mode, i mean that everytime I turn off my phone and turn it back on, it goes back to download mode without me pressing the buttons.

You must turn it off completely before booting in download mode. Keep pressing and holding volume down+power for a minute, it should completely turn off after one or two LG logo. If it doesn't then you can unplug battery. After that you don't boot with power button, then you boot with download mode method.
Video from complete shutdown - putting USB in computer while pressing volume up button and starting download mode - software recognizing your device - checking all the correct options in software - hitting flash button - state of phone after flash started.

No, like it automatically goes to download mode wihtout me pressing the buttons, and if i do it the normal button pressing way with the power and volume up, then idk if its the glitch version. But the problem im trying to solve is fixing it so it stops going automatically to the glitched download mode when i turn it on

K firstly, Im not trying to be rude or anything, I just need help fixing my phone. If I somehow offended you in any reason why, im sorry. And I literally don't know much about phones, but I was trying to make sense on your instructions and making sure Im not going to mess it up. If you dont want to help anymore, its fine, im grateful that you tried to help
Also I know how to flash it properly and put it in download mode properly, its just that its always going to a glitched download mode so I can't download anything, or put it in factory mode.

No you shouldn't, rather I am sorry, made a bad judgement call. I left room for confusion in my post. Should've said unplug and plug back the battery. Perhaps you thought if i meant to leave it unplugged.
As your main problem was to stop it from bootlooping into a glitched download, it can be done with holding power and volume down for a minute or two.
But since that didn't work for you i suspected button/hardware failure and so recommended to reconnect the battery.
Another way can be, to let it be as is, so that the battery drains itself and after that charging it with a wall adapter. And see if it stops booting into download itself, or displays a charging only screen.
Anyhow, I hope you find a way out. Feel free to ask anything again.

Nah its ok, that happens to me too sometimes.
So I was going to try to unplug my battery and reconnect it but then but before I was, i was testing some other stuff with the button commands stuff (I mean like the download mode with pressing power and volume up adn stuff) and I think i was able to get the actualy download mode, not the glitched one. I was able to download a bit for the flash tool so what i'm testing rn is to see if I can do the full factory reset and see if that fixes it.
PS: I was already doing the flashtool before so its fine if I erase my data

Sounds like a bootloop, i once fixed it by using another usb port and usb cable. Sometimes they get disconnected for bad connection and cause this kinda error. If MD5 is available, please match yours with original after downloading files. You can keep flashing, maybe try a different kdz later. There is also a TOT method which i never tried myself. This phone is almost impossible to brick permanently.

Sorry for the late reply, just been busy flashing my phone. So I been trying to re flashing my phone using the TOT method because the kda method isn't working, but either 1) it keeps crashing when its downloading 2) cannot recognize the phone to my computer when my phone is in download mode but says its not connected to my computer. Before, it did kinda work, it kept crashing but it lasted a bit longer sometimes, but I had to reflash it because the software update was glitched where it says its on the notification bar but wasnt there. So for rn, i'm still trying to reflash it.
I donno much about the TOT method, haven't tried myself. Getting a hunch that there might be hardware issues somewhere which is interrupting the process and not letting it finish, could be the cable, pc usb outlet, phone's micro usb port....perhaps a loose connection or something else.
If i were you i would stick to the kdz, as it's working somewhat better for you and they all serve same purpose in the end. That youtube video is actually a good step by step tutorial.
