Hello,
Recently I've flashed Arco's CM9 version. It all went well for a couple of weeks until today. When I booted my phone, suddenly all apps started crashing and then it rebooted. But, the problem is, it is now stuck on a flashing Samsung logo.
Before I've started this thread, I've read many many similar threads about this, and started a 'rescue operation' by my own by using the tutorials for flashing back a stock rom with ODIN and other possibilities.
Unfortunately, after I've tried twice using ODIN, my phone is still stuck in the Samsung logo loop. I also can't enter Recovery mode, but am able to enter Download mode, as you've probably noticed.
As this is my first Android phone, I've always carefully read the tutorials and disclaimers about possible failures. I'm aware that the maker of the rom is not responsible for this.
Since I tried to flash back to stock android 2.3.6 from CM9 kernel, I've read that this could give some problems. My question is:
- Would flashing CM9 back worth a shot, or totally useless?
I hope you can help me, and if there isn't a solution, I hope the shop can cover this as I've got warranty for one year and 9 months.
Care to share how you had flashed it at first...
And you can still boot to recovery rite ?

it happened to my friends phone also, he can go to DL mode but not recovery mode, he flashed a stock rom via odin, but that didnt help, he was still stuck at samsung logo, and about flashing CM9 again, i guess u cant bcoz u cant go to recovery mode, if youve flashed a stock rom again and that didnt work for you too, i guess u need to send to samsung for repair, i remember my friend said it was a hardware problem, good luck

I've read elsewhere that it was a hardware problem that appeared on 1:10 Wonders... I'm really disappointed since this was my first smartphone...
A small question though: Since I've (tried to) flash it back to stock rom, if I bring it back to the shop where I bought it, would they notice that there was another rom, which could give them a reason that I've void the warranty? I really don't want to pay another amount of cash for this (faulty) phone.
Also in reply to andynroid: I've flashed CM9 the first time with CWM, as adviced by Arco68.
Can you still go to recovery ?

Hi...
I wrote in this thread

The only solution seems to be to flash an Asian rom with multi package.
Sent from my GT-I8150 using Tapatalk
when you try to enter recovery mode, what is the image you first see? is there an image that look like an android? i cant remember the exactly image but if you see that image, i think you must reflash the CWM via odin. Because every time i reflash the stock rom, my recovery mode will gone. So try to reflash CWM via odin. Nothing wrong if you give it a try

I've heard and read about that, I thought that Rio did that, but it wasn't succesful.

I wished I could enter Recovery mode, but the problem is: I can't
. But I also didn't know that if I flash back to stock rom, the recovery would be gone too. Maybe I should reflash CWM via odin. Nice advice.

Jup. One out of ten => 10%. Such an error rate may not appear for such a great brand. That is ridiculously high. Even 1% is too high in my opinion.

Yeah, but what I've heard from others in the Netherlands: they will say that your device has been damaged by water, which isn't protected by warranty. And the bill is equal to a new device, or even more expensive. I hope they're in 'good mood', otherwise I maybe have to search for another device.
Hey Bro... this happen to me a while ago.... but covered by warranty , just simply told them at the SSC that you do an update via Kies and sxxt happen , coz in my place there are cases that the phone hang after update via Kies not only this model , it happen to others model too.
I suggest that you flash it back to stock before you send it back to SSC , without CWM .
cheers

I had bought a used Verizon Galaxy Nexus on eBay. It was fairly cheap because the screen was cracked in a few places, but the touch screen and everything still worked. I ended up trying to replace just the glass and failed, so I bought the whole AMOLED digitizer display replacement.
The new screen causes the phone to go into endless boot loop. Now I knew this prior to buying, but I figured it was worth a shot in trying to get it to work. Basically the screen works except for the boot loop. It goes all the way up to when the device vibrates and it about to show the lockscreen and then it freezes and tries to boot back up. Also, when I reboot into recovery it works for a little and then shuts down.
I am running CM10 stable; however it doesn't seem to be a problem with the software. Any help at all would be most appreciated!!!

how do you know its not a problem with the software.
revert to 100% stock and see if the problem persists.

The guy I bought it from was having the same exact issues. He had 2 screens, and the other one worked fine and this screen caused a boot loop. I will try what you said and let you know if I have any success.
Okay so my old recovery wouldn't work so I flashed CWM. I was able to do a backup, but how to I transfer the backup to my computer? After that, I should be able to return to stock to see if that fixes the problem.

Well I just got it back to stock... and it is still boot looping. I have no idea what to do. Anyone got any suggestions?
I can get into recover,download mode, or the rom boot screen but phone turns off right after. It won't stay on long enough to change roms or backup anything. Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do? Thanks in advance
Can't not can...stupid tablet won't let me edit.
Please Specify your Rom and Kernel. If on Stock, do a factory reset.

I'm on Cyanogenmod with stock Kernel from Cyanogenmod, never changed my kernel. It was working fine for months then just rebooted on its own and won't stay on since. Unfortunately I'm stock and I'm not even sure it will stay on long enough to do anything to it.Its also not the battery. This video shows exactly whats happening to mine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J61jghxz-Vc
If it can stay stable in Download mode, then you can Odin Flash Root66. Once that's done, flash recovery again and the Rom.

That's the problem I can't. Is there any other options. I'm not worried about backups or anything I just want it fixed.
The video points to Recovery only. Have you tried to boot into Download mode (the kind that has yellow triangle and Downloading message ) ?

Yeh I've tried recovery and download. Neither one stays on for more than 5 seconds and in download mode after clicking up to go into download mode the phone restarts.
Could be hardware, could be softbrick. Can you try the De-Bricking thread's instructions ?

I'm beginning to think its a hardware problem. I got it to boot into recovery long enough to factory reset, load a new rom, and gapps. I rebooted and it loaded for a few seconds and turns off. It booted again and went to the optimizing apps screen then shut off before it could finish. Does this sound like it could be a software problem?

I got the phone to boot into cyanogenmod but in the set up screen it failed again. Really getting annoying and I can't figure out how to fix it.
Pull battery. Then put it back. Does it try to turn on by itself? Could be the power button issue many others have had.

YES thats it I was thinking there might be a problem with the power button...Is there a fix on this or a thread anywhere?
There have been many threads posted with this issue, and some did manage to just buy the part and fix themselves. No instructions though thst I'm aware of.
I'd suggest you google galaxy s3 or t999 teardown.

Found a few posts and people just thump around the general area of the power button and that seems to be a temporary fix and it worked for me for a little while. It's gonna work long enough to revert everything to stock and send in. Thanks you two for your help

You can try and let us know no harm trying though as both already faulty or N7105 partially faulty. I guess the board layout it's the same though just some minor hardware difference.

yes, before i begin all i let the grenn battery icon became full, then i flahed stock 4.1.2 from sammobile.
in odin everything went well sucessfuly flashed but when he reboots apears n7105 logo and it shuts right off,
so i tried remove battery and turn on again nothing, it doest enter in recovery mode but it enters in odin mode only and flash counter keeps increasing everytime i flash, so i flashed some recoveries trough odin none of them worked escept philz touch recovery, it enters and i wipe it all reboot and its all the same, tried flash a custom cm11 rom and it says this from is not for your device your device is a "t03g",
now i dont know what to do
Hey, try another recovery, and make sure it's an N7105 one. A common problem, I've had it twice, appearing as a toro, but my phone is maguro. Fixed it by installing the correct recovery, after installing a wrong, a toro recovery.

i tried installing n7105 recovery and the result was, stuck on bootloop, it doesnt boot to the rom nor to the recovery, only download mode.
while on n7100 recovery and rom it flashes and boot, i think i will flash n7100 stock trough odin cause he seems more like a n7100 than a n7105, but im scared to brick it (

its easy, you must change only Displayframe, LCD with Glasses in other Displayframe ! you takes your broken display n7105 Displayframe and you need your full ok n7100 Display, you take out from n7100 display lcd with glasses and you makes it in n7105 Displayframe, sorry for bad englisch..

I guess your emmc is dead. The exactly same situation happened to me few months ago. I tried many things(flashing different android versions of different roms, different versions of kernels, recoveries, flashing different modem files, odin firmwares with 4 file and e.t.c.). Also searched for solution in many phone services. Then I figured out that my emmc is dead. I bought new motherboard and emmc from aliexpress. Now, I'm still using my s4 mini with new motherboard. I couldn't replace new emmc because I don't have proper bga reball station
