Hi
Strange occurrence today. Turned on phone--nothing. Reset battery and it booted fine, but after awhile (when the screen timed out) it went back to black. When I turn it on it goes to dark blue (BSOD?) but nothing else happens, however as soon as I reset the battery, it will boot successfully and as long as the screen is on, the apps seem to work etc. As soon as I lose the screen, I lose the phone again. Volume down followed by power switch brings up the same BSOD.
The lcd is on and the phone is apparently charging regardless.
Can anyone help get me back in business?
Thanks
Are you using a custom rom of any kind, rooted etc. giving details like this helps people answer questions.
My advice is if you are useing a custom rom then backup your apps etc. then redownload the rom and flash it as new then recover your apps.
I was trying out using a keyboard with a cheap USB OTG cable, and all was good. Then all of the sudden the screen went buggy, where ever other line of pixels was shifted to the left or the right, almost like some sort of corrupted video file. It started to reboot itself, and it got to the black screen with the Google logo and then the screen fuzzed in the same way as before. It then starts to reboot and does the same thing over and over again. I find that I can get to the recovery screen with the scroll arrows. From there, if I tell it to reboot into recovery it goes back into the same Google logo bootloop. I then went back to the original recovery screen and I decide to try out adb to see if it works. Sure enough it does, and I unwisely start flashing a stock 4.2 bootloader image. However, while it is flashing the screen does the same fuzz thing and and stays fuzzed. Then it doesn't respond to anything. I take out the battery, and try to restart and with will not turn on at all, no vibration, no light from the screen, nothing. I tried a unbricking methods from there, and nothing can make it come back alive. Any ideas?
Additional info:
GSM tajkju
Bootloader unlocked
Running stock unrooted 4.2 that I flashed manually
Stock recovery
and therefore i cant boot into recovery. it will ask me if i want to, i put ok, and it just freezes there. however its not doing anything as when i press the screen, then hit the home button several times, it will just go right back into home.
using the power button and up button boots into odin mode.
i didnt root this phone myself so im not sure what to do next.
im trying to delete the cache currently, to try and reinstall a game so it will work properly (currnetly giving an error when trying to log into facebook thru game.
this will be a huge deal if i ever want to flash another rom as i cant get to the recovery screen at all.
i did read that upon flashes, that CWM can dissappear, so i reflashed that using odin and rebooted. still the same thing in rom manager, i allow it to reboot into recovery then it just freezes there.... but able to access the home screen again.
any advice????
Also now cannot send text messages, but recieved the test message that Koodo sent me. can make calls and send photo messages. very odd.
and frusterating because now my old phone isnt sending texts either.
Found out how to get back into CWM, had to use the fix permissions thing.
Now to figure out the mystery of the unsending texts....
It's in a loop of starting up, loading to the home screen and then shutting down a few seconds later. While booting, in red text, the words "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" is in the upper left corner. I tried to root it and it didn't work. I've tried a factory reset and still nothing. Now it takes me to the setup screen, yet still looping. I don't know what else to do and I need help. I've later found out that the text is normal, but since it's appeared, it is in constant rebooting.
Currently, I have a G928T firmware downloading from Sammobile which I hope I can use Odin to recover my phone. That's still got an hour left and I don't know if it will even work.
If there's anything else I can do, please say so, and if the firmware downloading is the only option, could you describe the process? I'd prefer that I not mess that up somehow.
After posting this (in the correct forum this time), I've calmed down enough to realize that there is another thread about this incident. I'll try the solution posted there for now.
That solution worked. I guess there's really not much need for this thread anymore, but if someone else were to have the same issue and find this thread, click here to go to the thread that fixed it.
As I read through your post I was getting ready to go and retrieve the copies of the files that I have and post them for you but I see that you've corrected your issues one thing I'd like to say to everyone if you do get into a situation where the phone is stuck since we don't have the battery pool anymore if you press the volume up/down home and power button the phone will briefly restart and then you can decide if you want to go into download mode from there or recovery or just let it try to boot up. Put that helps glad you got your issue fixed brother
Hello, i have a S4 mini duos (i9192)I do not know much English, so use the Google translator, I hope you understand and can help me.
Well, I used the rom of aosp on my phone, because I wanted the android 7 and the unicorn I liked, that's why I had it.
But with many days of use, one day was charging the phone, it is stuck and I removed the battery so could not turn it on anymore, I took it to a technical service near my house to repair it, then repaired it, and it was a hardware problem, the phone was repaired , Then I was happy.
And when I used it, sometimes suddenly the phone goes off alone and I had to remove the battery to turn it on again, search in the internet, and they said that it is a problem with rom, then I wanted to change the rom when I have time and the phone did not resist until it had time and takes to repair in the same place to see that such, because it had warranty.
The technicians told me that it is a software problem, and they put it to repair again, then I went to get the phone, they said that the problem could not solve it, and I take the phone home.
I started to try in my house.
1. It turns on but sticks to the samsung logo.
2. Home + power + volume up does not start recovery, and when I try to boot, the phone is dead for a while, and does not catch the samsung logo.
3. Home + power + volume down, I can enter download mode perfectly, and the computer detects it, also odin 3.7, 3.10 and 3.11.
But when I try to get him the ROM does not work !!!
I try with 4 rom and in different odin version, sometimes it starts and it is paid in a message, then in another message, the phone does not leave the green as it should.
And when at last begins to load the bar, that when it finishes say pass, the phone with download mode rattles, but the green bar stays stuck in a little more behind the beginning :crying::crying:
I also tried to put a new recovery, but it did not help either
I gave up
After several days without a phone, I started looking again over the internet, and I wanted to ask here, because I am extremely stressed, and I really want someone to help me a little.
Well, I don't know if I'm answered, but i with the translator google, I finished ....:angel:
same here
