So i was flashing a new AOKP rom with cwm 6.0.1.0. My phone dropped and the battery fell out. it only dropped like one foot, not enough to break just enough to cause the back to pop off and the battery to fall out. Now my phone is a complete ****. It didnt turn on at first. Then it finally did but cut off after about five minutes. Now it wont turn on. Occasionally you will see the battery charged logo that appears when your phone is completley off and charging. And occasionally it will start to turn on but never make it past the bootlogo. neither is enough time for me to try and flash or wipe or use adb to restore. It seems to be somethingw ith the battery. There is the smallest crack in the screen so i cant return under warranty. Please say someone knows whats wrong
I believe (and someone with more knowledge would have to correct me if im wrong) but if the screen is able to turn on then that means that you are completely screwed. Your phone isnt hard bricked but soft bricked. If you can get into the bootloader then you should be able to use fastboot commands or the toolkit to get yourself back to stock or flash a recovery and new rom onto your phone.

Can you get to the bootloader? Turn your phone off, hold down the Vol Down and Power button.
If you get to the bootloader, you can flash your ROM again and you'll be fine.

no ic ant boot into that. i already tried, it wont stay on for no more than ten seconds no matter what i try to boot into. when plugged into the computer (without battery where it should install the omap driver) it just connects and disconnects every three seconds.
i was using the carbon rom with no problems, it was working great, but just a half hour ago i was listening to music and texting (i always do this), and then phone just turned off. I tried to reboot it but it wont! it always shuts off while booting. i made it to CWM, but it turns off while in CWM. i also made it to download mode, which led me to assume that the phone is not bricked, but it doesnt stay on download mode, it just turns off randomly. i figured maybe it was battery, so i tried another, and no change! does anyone know what the issue is? i cant figure out how to keep the phone ON, or why its not staying on.
btw, i got it to boot completely just once, and it was acting up still. any ideas? i dont mind losing all my info on phone, theres not much on there, so ill use odin, but how can i do this when the phone doesnt even keep itself ON download mode? please help
Thanks in advance

come on...no one?
Try this way
Remove the Battery, SIM Card, and any External SDCards.
With the Battery removed plug the USB into your phone.
While holding both the Up+Down Volume button and the USB is plugged into your phone - put the battery back into the back of the phone. You should see the Download mode screen pop up.
If you see the Powered Off Charging screen - attempt the above steps again.
Hit thanks if I helped

i can get the phone into download mode without a problem, i could even get it into CWM; the real issue is the phone just wont stay on. it just shuts off randomly. so basically when i put it in download mode and let it sit, itll shut off again. im afraid to connect to odin to flash back to stock because what if it shuts off while odin is running (which it probably will)? itll brick for sure imo.
i figured it was a faulty battery, but a different battery resulted in the same thing.
i know its not bricked, its booted right now finally, but i know if i restart it, itll act up again....

Hello, I am new to these forums. I mostly registered for this one specific problem.
I'm pretty sure the phone isn't hardbricked, but I tried rooting my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 (4G LTE version) with Klingo. After that, it said the root was successful and the phone immediately restarted itself. However, it was then stuck in a bootloop and it just kept restarting itself. The phone turns on, and then the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" logo appears with "RECOVERY....." in blue in the top left corner, and directly under that it says "Set Warranty Bit: recovery" in yellow. Then after about 3-4 seconds it shuts off, then about 2 seconds later it restarts automatically and just keeps looping like that.
T-Mobile said they would replace the phone, and they'll be sending me a new one as soon as the old one reaches the return center. Obviously I didn't tell them what I actually tried to do. In case they're able to find out what I tried to do and end up sending my old one back, I just wanted to ask this question preemptively so I might have an idea of what to do.
I HAVE TRIED BOOTING INTO RECOVERY MODE AND DOWNLOAD MODE. No button combinations cause anything to happen. The only thing that stopped the auto-restarting and looping was taking the battery out. Upon putting the battery back in, it will stay off until I manually turn the phone on again, where it will then continue to auto-restart and loop itself.
I do not have the phone right now because I sent it to a return center after spending a few hours searching online for answers and talking to T-Mobile on the phone. But if any of you have any ideas it would certainly be a great help if the worst case scenario ends up happening. Thanks for any potential solutions!

I have no idea what the issue is, but it seems you might not have a recovery installed on the phone. Try this:
Hold power + volume to go into bootloader (I know you said you tried various combinations, but make sure you're doing it correctly.).
Go into fastboot
flash a new recovery image from (TWRP or CWM) (how to: https://sites.google.com/site/tomsgt123//adb-fastboot)
reboot and go into recovery, then use adb sideload to flash a new ROM.

I have no idea whether this will work, but it's worth a try. Please don't blame me if your phone gets even more messed up than it already is.

Thank you so much. I will definitely try this. I was also getting replies elsewhere that if I can see the logo, I should be able to get into download mode where I could then flash the stock ROM. Honestly, it does seem like I somehow may not have a recovery installed.
If they send me my old phone back I will definitely give this a try. Thanks a bunch! And don't worry, I won't hold you accountable haha.

If the advice above didn´t work (nothing happened when pressing the usual VOL down - home - power etc; this did not work for me), this is how I managed:
I tried booting around 25 times with the power button released at different times. Did not work.
Tried to insert battery when pressing the 3 buttons. Did not work.
I let the battery run completely empty. Started charging the phone and pressing the 3 buttons. Did not work.
I charged the phone full (with booting the whole time....needed to put it somewhere quiet). After estimating it was full, I pulled out the battery, preparing to send it to mobiletechvideos.com (they saved me before). After a few hours I wanted to see the error message so I could inform them. When I inserted the battery, I got the regular download mode! Nowthen, would I dare to boot it since I am not really sure what to flash to my phone?
I rebooted, and now the phone is back to normal. OTOH, I will not try to flash CWM/TWRP again, so goodbye custom roms (Omega )

So basically your problem was fixed by keeping the battery out for an extended period of time? Did you get the same problem as I did, with the phone trying to boot into recovery constantly and failing due to having no recovery image?
I never kept the battery out for more than 2-3 minutes, so that's another option for me to try if they send my old phone back and the first guy's suggestion doesn't work.

Yes, I had the exact problem. I tried to have the battery out for 10 minutes, and also ran out of battery during a nightly discharge. Still I could not get it to work. The only way was to leave the battery out for several hours. Beats me, but it worked.
Having bricked a device completely before, I am confident that your phone will be able to get fixed. This isn´t even semi-bricked
Good luck - let me know what happened!

When that happens and you go back to normal, are you able to access recovery mode afterwards if you want to? Or does trying to cause the same loop? Is it wise to re-flash the stock firmware just to be safe?

I never dared to try. But since I always used Windows under Mac (Parallells) or the fact that I used Windows 7 or 8, I tried to flash CWM on a native Windows XP PC today and it worked. So now I have a custom ROM working which I never thought would happen :laugh:
Sorry I did not try to access recovery before so you would know
Cheers,

No that's alright, I just wanted to know if it was something I should avoid. :laugh: I'll use Odin to flash the official firmware back on regardless.
I had this happen to me, what had occurred was that the efs was corrupt. Here's the fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507403
Now to implement this fix, you must first be able to get into download mode. To do so:
1. Pull the battery
2. Wait 10-20 secs
3. Reinsert battery WHILE holding power button and (volume down + home???, whatever the key combination is)
5. Phone will boot directly to download mode, no logo
6. Flash twrp via odin
7. Phone will reboot into bootloop again
8. Repeat steps 1-4 except this time use the key combination for recovery
9. You must now use adb and push the file I linked to earlier
10. Then without rebooting you must flash it
11. Reboot and problem solved
Fixed issue with continuous recovery boot
So, this issue was somewhat perplexing, and while the information shared was hopefully valuable to some, it took me about 2 minutes to
fix this and get back into download mode.
Take the battery out of the device, then plug the device into USB (If you're having same issue I was device will not show charging or turn on when plugged in.) Then with the device plugged in to usb and the battery out, hold down the Download mode combination Vulume +, Home and Power, then simultaneously slide in the batter, the phone will boot into download mode and you can get back to stock.
Hope this helped! If it did, leave a thanks.

This is exactly what I posted above lol
LOL Sorry. When I flash the TWRP file it just rebooted the phone back into the Hyper Drive Rom I'm using, did it do the same for you?
Thanks to everyone who has provided information and tried to help me! Thankfully, T-Mobile simply sent me a new phone. However, I'm definitely going to keep this topic bookmarked for future reference. This seems to be a rather uncommon problem, considering I had to make a topic to find a solution since all of my searches didn't give me any results.
Thanks again to everyone!

U r My neww Mirical worker I messed up a Mobile Odin Flash At work today trying to get the newish NE6
couldnt get it to boot into download after the screw up but read this this morning nd after trying everything else it worked perfect
thank you thank you
I'm having the same problem with my TMobile Note3 after using Kingo after upgrading via Kies to the latest Firmware. The only difference is my phone immediately starts rebooting as soon as I put the battery back in. It doesn't appear that any keys stop this and the USB isn't recognized by my computer in time before the reboot cycle starts.
Is there anything else to try other than sending the phone back for warranty replacement?
tim
Yeah Kingo has given me nothing but trouble, I'd steer clear of that software. I'm assuming you have no access to recovery mode? I have had that issue before on an S3 and was able to finally get it into download mode, but the battery being inserted immediately boots the phone up. So what you have to do is 1. Take battery out and unplug usb cable. 2. Plug USB cable in and Hold download mode buttons with BATTERY OUT (vol+, home and power) 3. insert battery simultaneously while holding buttons down, phone will boot up.. After holding down for about 10 seconds phone will manually reboot, 4. When screen shuts off (potentially vibrates) release download mode buttons, then IMMEDIATELY press and hold download mode buttons again (must perform this step FAST, the key is to do it right before the screen turns on if you can.) 5. The manual boot you've performed should allow you to trigger download mode. I was eventually able to get this to work (about 3 tries. ) I believe your download mode is still intact, you just have to use this method to access it. Remember that because your phone atuo boots with battery inserted download mode will only be available by manual reboot not battery insert.
Give thanks if I assisted you.. Your phone isn't a hard brick so Jtag service should be unnecessary at this juncture.

I read on many posts and comments that everyone is able to boot in download mode. My Note 3 just stuck on recovery boot and I can't get it to boot in download mode. I tried all of the suggestions about pressing three buttons, removing battery etc.
Does anyone know solution for when you can't get into download mode?
Thanks
