Hi everyone. This is the first time ive posted anything on here. I will try to fully describe my problem that i really need help to fix.
My wife got my old Note 2 is rooted and she got my
Dad's old unrooted Note 2. After deciding that she didnt want a rooted phone she decided to use my father's unrooted phone. Due to apps updating and the internal memory getting full she ingored the warning message not really realising the outcome. The phone eventually shut itself down and is stuck on the Samsung logo (boot loop). So i gave her my old rooted phone back because she said that it just died. The same happened to the rooted phone too.
I asked before what she did and i was told nothing it just died. So i had nothing to go on. It wasn't until a week later when I tried to sort the problem out she said the System Memory was getting full and a message came up warning of this. So now I believe the problem is that the on board memory has got full and the phone seized. Much like what happens to a PC when the main hard drive gets full!
When i attempt to boot the phone up the Samsung logo show and stays on, never booting up. This happens with both phones. When i hold the Home key, Power button and Up volume switch. The phone loads the first Part of the boot up and at the moment it goes to the system screen it goes blank for a split second and back to the start of the boot. No matter how many times i try it fails. So I can't Factory reset or erase anything because i can get to it that screen.
So I try something else. I press the Home button, Power button and the Down on the volume to access the Download mode. This works fine. So i used Odin to try to put Rom onto the phone hoping this will solve the problem. Both phones connects to Odin alright and I can set up ready to load a rom onto it, however when i press start on Odmin to do its job everthing starts ok but then it goes red with a Failed error message. This happens when i try this on both phones, I seem to be stuck no knowing what to do. I have tried using all the ports on my laptop (window 7) and that makes no difference. The same happens on both devices.
I think i need to clear the memory somehow but have no idea how to do it when i can only access Download mode. I would be very grateful for any help on this but if all else fail I will try to build up static on a ballon and see if putting the near will wipe the memory, lol. Only joking. Im desperate to sort this out.
Any ideas?
try to flash twrp with Odin and download mode. Then enter recovery, connect it to PC and make some space.
But I really doubt it, apps won't install even when you have 500Mb free, so I think it might be hardware problem

I was messing around with my phone and entered recovery mode (PhilZ Touch) and I kept tapping the empty part of the screen. Then the screen turned off, but on again after a few seconds. Then the phone wouldn't boot past recovery mode. I was stuck!
I researched the problem online and found another forum that posted a flashable "fix". So, I flashed it and then to my horror, realized that the zip was meant for a completely different phone!
Now my phone won't display anything on the screen, won't enter into Bootloader/Download Mode nor Recovery. I can't even do a Cold Reboot!
When I plug the phone into my computer though, Windows makes the USB connected dinging sound and attempts to install drivers but fails. In Device Manager, there is now a QHSUSB_DLOAD entry that appears and disappears depending on whether my phone is plugged in or not.
Does anyone know how to fix this and get the phone up and running again?
Preferably ASAP!? I literally have no phone... not even a landline!
Bro am in tha same boat...am about to send mines off to mobiletechvideos and they'll fix it for 50$ thats the only option ppl been saying...i tried the other way but its a headace and it dosent work for me ...
I ended up solving my problem, but not in the way I wanted. Since my phone was 100% dead, I went back to ATT since it was still under warranty. I told them a story about how the phone had been malfunctioning lately and then just completely died. They replaced the phone under warranty, so now I have a brand new one.
There definitely doesn't seem to be any easy way out of this problem once it strikes. I still don't know what happened to make the phone unable to boot out of recovery, even after wiping stuff, factory reseting, and reflashing roms. All I do know is that I have never had a problem with PhilZ until I started to rapidly tap the blank part of the screen (I like how it vibrates... I'm weird like that). This caused the recovery to never want to exit. Every time I reboot the phone, it automatically went to recovery, even after a full power off or battery pull.
Nevertheless, I am still going to root and mod my phone... just carefully.
You have a hard brick, which is nearly impossible to fix.

My daughter has this phone and she gave it to me to fix it was doing the same thing as stated in op kept rebooting on its own and would vibrae over an over , playing with the power button it would try to reboot sometimes it would get to the home screen but would rebot again i took the back piece off and cleaned around the power button and i would try to go into recovery but it kept rebooting, i kept trying and messing around with it and i got it to go into recovery and just enough time to clear cache brfote it robboted angian by itself still same thing, kept at it and got it to go into recovery again but i accidentally push update adb and it started to do what it does when you pushed that but i kept pressing power from a panic then i finally rebooted successful now im currently got it working its plugged into my computer it installed successfully but i don't see the storage on my computer, it does not have a sd card in it tho i have one to put in it and it does not have a sim card it it either tho i have the one my daughter gave me that she had to to her phone, i quickly turned on usb debuugging incase i need to odin firmware or something im not sure what do do from here so im asking any one that might know what i should do? If it was the power button i clean it as best as i can and aired it out too, im thinking this might tho do it again since im not sure what fixed it to this point except from what i did to it from what i wrote here.

First off, that's one hell of a long sentence!
Had you (or your daughter) recently installed a ROM and forgot to factory reset (clear all caches) the phone after doing so? Many at times, this is what causes boot loops. And you cleared cache, which I think has resolved the problem. However, MAKE A BACKUP on your phone (and onto your computer, just in case the phone hard-bricks) using your Recovery right away! Once you make the backup, there's no need to worry about whether you soft-brick your phone again; you can simply restore that backup. It's also highly possible that it was your power button, but since you said you did clean it up thoroughly, it might just be the cache preventing you from rebooting normally.
Either way, it's good to hear you got your phone working now. I would highly recommend that you make a backup before doing anything else with the phone - just to be on the safe side. Good luck!
Here's what happened to my (not rooted) G3
The phone has been weird for a couple of days, rebooting randomly once in a while, but working fine whenever plugged onto a power source. Google told me it could be a battery related issue, so I bought a new battery online (and I didn't get it yet).
This morning the phone entered a boot loop, even when plugged in to any power source. Google this time told me I could put the phone in "download mode", then restore upgrade errors via LG PC Suite. I try to do that, and the phone actually goes into download mode, but I'm not able to restore upgrade errors with that ugly piece of software because it keeps "losing" my phone usb connection. I unplug and plug it back in several times, the phone seems to make progress on the firmware upgrade screen but I see a red ASSERT error on my phone at around 15% of recovery.
Now whenever I turn on my phone and try to put it on download mode keeping the volume up button pressed, the screen will just go straight into firmware update, warning me not to unplug the usb connection, even if the phone isn't plugged. I'm able to start a restore but again the usb issue comes up and the phone is totally frozen and stuck to that firmware update screen. If I want to turn it off I need to remove the battery.
I'm doing this because I would love to recover some data from my phone, otherwise I would have done a hard reset or a flash of some kind
Please someone help me before i throw this piece of junk out of the window
Nobody able to help me in any way?
bump =(
Contact LG in this case. Might be faulty NAND memory. If it is then it will probably be impossible to get those files back...but they will replace it and fix the phone. (if it is under warranty that is...)
BTW if you take out the battery during flashing...you may hard brick the phone...then you're technically more fked
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

Bro i also have issiue with teamwin logo freezing up on recovery boot screen, can not see install or wipe screen, did you find any tip? i have the same model as yours
Same problem here but with S4 Mini I9195, is in bootloop, entern in Download mode but not in Recovery Mode.. I flash some version of TWRP Recovery, don´t work! Flash Stock ROM, still in bootloop and can´t enter in Recovery Mode..
I've had an M9 for 2-3. After the first year I got my phone, I installed a custom recovery and rooted it but later uninstalled root and custom recovery. It has been fine ever since except recently. Last month, my phone randomly crashed for the first time and got stuck in the infinite bootloop. It was as if everytime it tries to boot up, it crashed during it. If I hit the power, vol up, and vol down button, I make it to the screen with the option to go into recovery, download, etc. But when I actually try to go into either bootloader, recovery, or download mode from that menu, it crashes and goes back to the white htc logo. I've have gotten the phone to bootup a couple times by leaving it in the freezer as it tries to boot up but after using it for 1-5 minutes, it crashes again. If I don't use the phone at all, then it usually wont crash. After a day or 2, the phone fixed itself. Then one morning, my notifications got stuck together and my screen became unresponsive. So I took my death sentence and restarted my phone and now my phone has been doing the same exact thing for a week. I don't know how to fix this problem because getting it crashes trying to go into recovery and trying to do a factory reset is risky since it could crash during the reset. If also manage to make it into safe mode thinking maybe an application or virus is causing this but the phone crashed in SAFE MODE so I don't know what the problem is. I doubt there is any saving this phone because is probably a hard ware problem but who knows. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you.
Flash back to stock. Stock firmware fixes all sorts of issues.
