[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varjo:
Hello,

I have a S3 which is stuck in a bootloop at the samsung logo.

when i turn it on it shows the logo for some seconds then the screen goes black and the logo re-appears.

i can not boot into recovery mode, but download mode is working without a problem every time.

i tried flashing stock firmwares with odin and also tried kies emergency firmware recovery. the flashing always went without any problem, but it had effect. whatever i try, i am never able to boot into recovery and still stuck in the bootloop.

in some tries after flashing the screen just shows the samsung logo forever, but after rebooting it once it then is stuck in a bootloop again (shows the logo - screen goes black - shows the logo...)

i also tried flashing TWRP and CWM via odin, but again i can never boot into recovery mode.

what should i try next?

thx alot for any helpful comment
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S1ay3r666:
You can Try this:

1.) Pull out battery

2.) Put it in again

3.) Press Vol up + home + power

4.) When the Samsung Logo appears let it off

I think you press the Buttons too long.

I had the same problem!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varjo:
i really tried everything, it's not working. btw with i am stuck at the very first image, where it says "samsung Galaxy sII GT-I9300".

i dont think it's just the way i press the buttons because i can reach it on my s1 and s2 without a problem, it's just not working on this device.

could some setting like "nand erase all" in odin help? in other threads there is sometimes mentioned that the internal file system might be screwed up and in those cases a simple odin reflash does not help anymore...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Nand erase will usually hard brick it. Try the rescue firmware from general forum, sticky thread. Follow the guide exactly as it includes a pit file.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varjo:
thx, but i already did that (multiple times) and flashing via odin always succeeds. then the phone reboots and is stuck at the first samsung galaxy s.. screen. twice i managed somehow to get into recovery (after flashing cwm6) but it then randomly rebooted.

and i dont think that the power button is stuck because when i am in download mode it is perfectly fine it never reboots itself unexpectedly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krossifix:
Had a similar issue on my tab2 p3100. It all happened when I tried flashing a custom recovery from rom manager.

A bad flash of anything related to recovery or bootloader could be a probable cause.

I remember a knowledge share on one of the threads describing this issue and as mentioned on it all I had to do is this:

1) switch off the device and plug in the charger. This would light up the display showing you the charging status. The status has to show if at least your bootloader part of the phone is fine.

2) plug out the charger and immediately press the three buttons (home + vol up + power) get into recovery mode. This step has to work and help you get to recovery mode.

***Note : the interval within which this step has to be performed is too short since the display would turn off immediately as soon as you plug out the charger. A bit tricky too so you have to be fast. If this misses getting you into recovery, pull out the battery and put it back again. Repeat step1 and 2 again.

3) upon successfully getting into recovery, perform wipe data, cache and select reboot phone from option available on recovery again.

Allow the device to boot. This could take a while since you have performed a data wipe and may prompt for first time set up.

I was able to restore functionality on my tab after these steps and like ppl learn from their mistakes, I then learnt that recoveries and bootloaders are things that needs to be done with a pc only. :p

Worth a try if you have tried other alternatives and found no go. may help. Who knows..

all the best.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varjo:
thats also not working. i tried to get into recovery since two days now...

i also tried the steps from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-pit-bricked-dead-problem-gt-t2535367

but again, after i flash the cf-root (successfully) the phone does neither boot into recovery by itself nor can i do it by hand...

its crazy... in download mode i can see the model number (GT-I9300) and i thought as long as the model number is there and i can enter download mode there should be a way to recover the device.

but i cannot think of anything to try that i have not done yet :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
If the rescue firmware didn't help then it looks like the emmc chip is damaged.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varjo:
is there a way to make certain of this? how can i tell if it is really a hardware damage and not just a software brick?

i just dont want to let the phone go, it looks still so shiny :eek:

is there anything else that could cause the phone not booting into recovery mode after flashing custom recoveries?

Same here, still didn't found how to fix it.. I guess our motherboard just died..

Howewer I have a solution that "almost" worked for me.

Get a stock firmware in odin and turn on Nand erase and T-flash

When it's done phone reboots and you'll see just "Downloading..." mode when you turn it on.

Then got to Kies and Select firmware recovery...

Enter s/n and model name and wait for the flash to complete.

With it , I got past boot logo and actually booted into android but the phone crashed because I guess I have a memory issue..

Well , gl. If you don't find anything else helpful , try going with this method..

Hi everyone !

My phone has recently shown a defect on the lower border of the touch screen. It's still less than one year so I will send it to google.

The thing is I have cyanogenmod installed, rooted etc. I am planning the restore the phone as it was brand-new: original rom, kernel...

I Have followed everything on the first comment of this post:http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/general/how-to-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2010312

Do you think that will be enough or I have to do something more in order to they won't realise i changed anything ?

Last time I have sent my N4, I just restore the Stock Rom / Kernel, and lock the bootloader. Didn't have any issue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Best advice would be to

Boot to recovery and make a full backup

Transfer this and anything else you want to PC

Reformat all in recovery (including SD data)

If you want to go overboard then format all with fastboot like such

fastboot erase system -w

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase recovery

Then flash latest stock firmware through fastboot (run the flashall.bat)

Then lock bootloader

fastboot oem lock

Reboot , power off, send in for rma

Thanks man ! the only problem is that I don't know how to block my bootloader because I am not longer root user
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oxious119:
"fastboot oem lock"

Don't need root, just connect the phone to your PC in fastboot mode and fire that command.

Someone send me a message text when my gadget is switched off. I swith it on and I receive the text.

How is it possible that?

Is it possible to correct it?

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camspy:
So, I have got speedy fiber internet here now and I was keen to see how it slays on my Note Pro, however, it didn't really blown me away, since I was stating around 60-80mbps speed only. My connection is 450mbps MAX on WiFi, so I think it is theoretic speed of my wifi router, so well, something like 200mbps could be possible to achieve.

So, how speedy is WIFI of Note Pro? Any ways to make it even faster?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camspy:
Anyone?

Note Pro's WiFi is documented to be AC, so it should be able to push a lot...
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegafiler:
Well, even with the best circumstances, you're never likely to see 200Mb/s, let alone 450Mb/s. There are a lot of factors that explain why you'll never get close to theoretical advertised speeds. Overhead, interference, distance, duplex, access point performance, band, etc. Or yeah, the tablet could always be the bottleneck.

I assume you have an AC router? But are you also on 5GHz or 2.4? That can make a huge difference. How far from the AP are you? Have you tried changing channels?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camspy:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FF23:
Hi!

I've a problem with my I9195 (LTE). I'm trying to install BLN on it, but when it has been downloaded from the Play Store and the installation would begin I get an "insufficient storage available" message, and the process actually fails. Of course I have plenty of space in all storage areas, and can download and install far larger apps than BLN without any problems. So the problem must lie with BLN itself.

I've installed the Vikinger kernel mod from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2545244 . That one got installed successfully and I have now for ex. boosted sound levels, but can't install BLN, which was the reason I installed this kernel.

Any suggestions, please?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartxdev:
That's right, in CM11 the kernel comes with build in BLN support, so you don't need to flash a custom one over it.

(BTW, regarding the "test" inside the BLN app, it doesn't work for me 50% of the tests.

But BLN works just fine with actual SMS, etc. So, if the inside-test fails, try it with the real stuff)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FF23:
Turned out it was something with the file system. It got corrupted, and after a while applications began to force close. So I had to do a full factory reset. Then I was able to install BLN.

However, it still didn't work under the stock Samsung S4 Mini firmware, even with the Vikinger kernel patch applied. I ended up installing CM11, which seems to work flawlessly with BLN.

Thanks for your help anyway.

My battery life has gone to hell since the 2nd 4.4.2 update on AT@T last week. I was getty 36 to 48 hours every time. As soon as the new update went in things changed the next day. Now I am lucky to get10 to 12 hours out of it. I have started pulling app but nothing has worked.

The battery drain on my once perfect S4 is now worse then on my LG Thrill!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] riksterinto:
Some things that helped control my battery in Kit Kat

In KitKat Google changed how location services works which seems to cause a lot of the battery drain issues. If you have Wi-Fi turned off during sleep, apps are likely trying to get your location using GPS which will easily drain your battery. It seems like even with Location Services is turned off that some apps can still continue to try and request location. Personally I like using the location services and that many apps use in Android so completely disabling wasn't an option for me.

I've played around with it quite a bit myself and found these settings have helped me::

-Leaving Google Location Services on at High Accuracy has been better on my phone's battery life.

-Leave Wi-Fi always on if it's available. (Use something like Llama or Tasker to automatically turn Wi-Fi on and off.)

-Setup My Places in Locations that correspond to Wi-Fi, etc

-Try uninstalling/reinstalling updates to Google Search, Google Play Services and Google Play Store

-Go through your apps and uninstall anything you aren't using or is not from a reputable developer. A lot of apps seem to have keep awake and location permission enabled by default that don't need it. You won't see these apps in the battery screen because they hide behind tiny wake lock requests and Google Play Services.

Another tip for saving battery is to use LLama or Tasker to disable Account Syncs any time you disconnect from a Wi-Fi network.

Good Luck and Cheers

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 79bass:
Dear all,

I'm coming from Galaxy Nexus, got a great deal for an LG G2 D802 so here I am!

I've rooted a number of devices, so I know how it works in general. I'm running only linux or Mac, I can't access windows machine easily, and unfortunately I noticed already that LG tools (for downgrading to 4.2 for example) are mostly for windows.

I honestly dislike LG UI, it's a shame how kitkat have been distorted on this phone, I've forced myself to try the UI and have an honest judgment, and now that's it. I really dislike it... especially compared to plain AOSP. I would just save the knock knock feature.

In my experience I already bricked devices unfortunately, and I know how hard and scary can be revive them... if it's even possible in some case. In particular, I know for experience that messing the partition table is one of those things that can screw a device up for good.

So bottom line: my phone is coming with 4.4.2 pre-loaded out of the box, I want to get rid of it and jump to CM11, or at least have the possibility to install a custom ROM not running LG software.

Reading the LG G2 forum I've learned that the partition table is different from 4.2 to 4.4, and 4.4 partitions can't be used as-it-is if I want to run a custom ROM/recovery... is that true?

I already rooted my LG G2 with IOroot25 -that worked OK at least-, I've tried to install TWRP and I was facing to "change partition table".

I can't understand what is the status of the things, since there are post contradicting each other, and I don't want to touch the partition table unless it's super safe.

I might be spoiled by coming from a Nexus, but I found really confusing all this options just to root and be able to install custom roms.

I expect many of you to reply "can't you just read the forum!", but I did, and it was just really, as I mentioned, confusing!

If I would go to 4.2 stock, what I would lose/gain (remember I don't give a damn of LG software, I'm talking about radio, bootloader and so on.)

Why it's not possible to just unlock the bootloader and deal with it like any other device?

Thanks and be patient with an old man who does not understand!

Cheers
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
well not all phones can just unlock bootloader (have you seen the galaxy s4 it has a locked bootloader) the reason we need mixed partitions(only one partition need to be changed) on kk to have recovery is because we use loki to bypass the locked bootloader and flash custom roms/recoveries, sadly the exploit we were using to install loki was patched in kk and we aren't sure if there is some other vulnerability, so the awesome developers found a loophole which is we downgrade the bootloader to the jellybean bootloader(plus a modified kk kernel which allows kitkat to boot off of the jb bootloader) and now we have recovery, the best way to do this is to use an app called AutoRec and you want to flash cm then keep in mind the kk baseband doesn't play well with aosp so you will need a kk baseband for your specific g2 that has been modified for aosp or the jb baseband or things will be broken when you flash cm(touch, rotation, radio, etc)

hopefully my little rant explains things to some extent, if you have any other doubts than ask
