Hello this is my first post by the way and i really need help please i just rooted my lg nitro hd and was flashing the CWM on it and when i turned it off to check if it worked it will not turn back on at all not to cwm or regular boot please someone help me i just got this phone 2 days ago.
thanks in advance
What do you see when you turn the phone on?
does the charging screen come up when it is plugged in?
it doesnt power on at all and the charging screen doesnt come up either
mine too,it doesnt power on at all and the charging screen doesnt come up either,
anyone help!
I don't know a way to fix this problem but I have seen unbricking threads for this phone that may help. I'm not sure though because I haven't tried them. I did however also brick my nitro two days after I got and I brought it back to at&t and acted like I had no clue what was going on. Mine was stuck in a boot loop and possibly fixable but I needed it for work and didn't have time as I was on my way to work.

Hey try pulling the battery then reinserting it with USB plugged in to see if you can breathe any life into it if you can get anything to show on the screen that would be the first step then after that there may be a chance of rescue also try to let it charge for a while and come back to it, I brought a phone back because nothing would show up on the screen but when I brought it back to the store the Guy got it to bootloop if you can at least get it to do that you can work on unbricking it further

Something like this happened to me when I did a battery pull. My battery wasn't dead at the time either, it had 37%. I ended up sending mine to LG for repair or if you have AT&T, you can get it fixed through them.
I have the same problem, mine just stucks at LG logo and then loops, i don't know what to do, please somebody help us!

Hold down volume down plus power until it goes to the factory reset screen. Press power to "reset" which really takes you to CWM (if you're rooted and have CWM installed). Then from CWM, do a factory reset/wipe data, then flash the zip/gapps (for CM 9), or another ROM if you prefer.

Agree with kernelpanic. Sounds like a hardware failure. AT&T also has device support centers in certain locations that can swap out your phone in some cases.

Is this all it takes to "flash a rom"?

Hi! thanks for answering!
Yes, I have CWM installed, when I try to enter with volume down and power, it ask me to click power twice to confirm (as usual), but then when CWM is going to boot, the phone resets, and loops again at the LG logo.
I already tried the unbrick method used here in the forum, but I have a problem with the R&D Test Tool, because when I try to click at "Upgrade Start" in CSE web upgrade test, the program opens LGMobile Support Tool, instead of the screen of "country and language", and finally, when I try to update via LGMobile Support Tool, it doesn't found my device (already put in Download Mode in USB), I don't know what to do, please, any information will be greatly apreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Hey guys,
Was trying to root my Sprint Galaxy S3, and everything was going fine but after it rebooted from Odin, the screen stayed black, and only the blue LED was pulsing. I tried to flash the stock Rom to get it out of this, but now the same thing is still happening, but I know it is factory reset because the start up sound plays now when I turn it on. Also USB Debugging seems to have been turned off now with the reset. Is there any way of saving it?
Thanks

do you have a link to what you flashed? Try flashing one of the ones from here. If you dont have anything you wouldnt mind losing then I recommend flashing the one that says it wipes data

If USB debugging is off, then you might be hosed... his are you certain that its turned off anyhow?

Usb debugging is completely unrelated to flashing in download mode. Not a part of the equation at all. Learn what you're talking about before telling people they bricked.

Pretty much the same issue I am dealing with except my SG3 is T-Mobile and debugging is still on for me. My problem is I reboot back into the splash screen/blue LED/black screen no matter what stock ROM I flash. I am getting really frustrated and worried. Can someone help me?

So you use the JB one click? I can't find one for T-Mobile. The one in your link is for Sprint.

Listen to music - black screen and pulsing led???
Hey!
I have a SGS3 with the newest OS. Just this morning this weird thing happened to me. I was listening to music (not watching the screen) and the music started to gap a few times and went silent. I watched my phone and it was a black screen and a pulsing blue led. Phone was unresponsive before I pressed the power button for a while - blue led went out too. Then a while later I got it to turn on and it was laggy a bit for a while, probably normal. What was this and should I be concerned? Oh I just remembered, I had turned it to flight mode just before to listen to a meditation track and no-one bothering me. Nothing like this has ever happened to me with the phone it has worked perfectly. Do I have a problem now?
can anyone tell me how to solved this problem..
my brother's gt-i8150 won't boot..it keep repeating at the booting process..and it won't show the download mode either recovery mode (v+, menu, power)..
it happened after he felt the phone turning hot in his pocket..he didn't do anything,suddenly the phone got the boot loop..
please, if anyone know about this problem, let me know how to solve it..
thanks in advance!

Reflash the ROM, without wipe. Or just restore your NAND backup.

I able go to the download mode, but only for about 5seconds, then the phone boot automatically..
how can I reflash the Rom if it's like that.
joehanh88 themed GT-I9070
Even I have the exact same problem. Happened randomly 3 days back.
Not able to get into Download/Recovery Mode. And battery also doesn't charge
Not in warranty, so can't go to Samsung.
I was running CM 10.1 when it happened
I just running stock ROM..
I can go to the download mode, but only last for 5 second, then the phone boot automatically again.
joehanh88 themed GT-I9070
Same here. I went to a repair shop - he says it is a Software issue and was charging a high amount for reflashing on his own, and says no guarantees it will work.
So I got it back and am trying on my own
so there is no other way except bring to the repair shop?

I dunno, because if I put the battery, it will directly show the booting even I'm not push the power button.then it keep repeating until the gt-i8150 logo..
is it hard brick? But what cause the brick?
this phone is running all stock..it's weird..
joehanh88 themed GT-I9070
No clue what caused it. It was running smoothly for months before that.
My battery died after bootlooping for a while. Now charging it in another phone and trying
Okay, I got into download mode for enough time to reflash CWM Recovery - No use. After rebooting, bootloop still there.
I got into Recovery mode too - flashed cm 10.1, still after rebooting, bootloop.
The time before loop is random - sometimes can go into recovery/download mode, sometime, just restarts on starts.

My phone goes only sometime, like after 10 tries or something :/
I dont want to take it to Samsung, its out of Warranty, rooted and has a non-Samsung battery too
are your battery is good. i also have those problem while my battery is dying.
or maybe your power chip is broken. but you should get to service center to make sure.

I just bought a new battery, and u don't think the new battery is the problem..but it might, because I'm using power bank to recharge the battery since I can't charge the phone with the provided charger because of I'm in the bus..
plus, my phone warranty already used once..I don't think I can use it for the second time.
joehanh88 themed GT-I9070
I got it to boot, but only once.
I did the following steps :
1) Connected it by USB to PC
2) Started Odin, Flashed latest recovery
3) Went into recovery at the next boot, Installed CM 10.1
4) Phone booted
No battery detected, it says running on USB :S
Next time I rebooted it, again same bootloop.
I feel its a power chip problem. Like some loose connection between charger -> battery and phone.
Anyone else who can help out ?

Will take it to Samsung Service Center though doubt they'll repair it.
I got stuck at the boot screen with no OS installed.
Google is finding me ways to reboot but can't find anything on how to do a hard shutdown from here.
EDIT:
Okay one suggestion was to plug the phone into charge, then force a reboot (power + both volume buttons held down 10+ seconds).
Then when it shuts off, you disconnect the power cable after seeing a "battery" on the screen and the tab will remain turned off.
That did not work for me with computer data charging cable.
But it did work with the stock charger. :good:
This helped me get into download using the download mode button shortcuts. But I can't figure out how to get into recovery mode from here? The recovery mode buttons don't work (volume up + power + home).
It looks like this thread has the answer on how to get into recovery mode again.
Too bad I didn't find it before I did an ODIN back to stock.

Actually its even easier than that and have done it countless times.
Next time just hold POWER +VOL DOWN + HOME. As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER +HOME.
Works every time to get into recovery.

Confirmed - this worked for me. Thanks!
I'm in the same situation where all of a sudden my tablet went into reboot and got stuck on the logo screen. I tried the combinations suggested such as : Power butto +Volume down then Volume up when screen is black to get to reboot mode but it just brings me back to the logo screen. Is there some other way I can access the safe mode or recovery mode to try and get this thing working again? I wasn't running any apps for it to cause this either, just checking email. Any help would be much appreciated

You're not following the instructions properly. Read post 3 again and hold ALL 3 buttons until recovery boots.
Do not let go of any of the buttons until you see the recovery screen.

Well, downloading is not the recovery.
In download mode you would use ODIN to re-flash the firmware from a computer.
In recovery, you would do a factory reset to reset back to defaults to see if that helps boot back into the existing firmware. You'll probably lose everything.

Yeah I just figured out I was in the wrong mode. I couldn't get it to the recovery mode for some reason but eventually it worked. So I have to go into wipe data/factory reset option? There's nothing else I can do on that screen to fix this without losing everything? I see other opions to Wipe Cache, reboot to bootloader, reboot system now etc..

Well, you're not really giving enough info for us to properly help you.
If you have stock recovery then you can try clearing cache but it probably won't fix a no-boot situation.
If you have TWRP recovery then you can try clearing cache and dalvik and fix permissions which probably won't help but gives you a better chance.
Also, if you had TWRP then you could simply re-flash your ROM zip and not lose a whole lot.

Sorry about that. It's like I said, I'm not too inclined on this type of stuff. Here's what I got and hopefully it helps you more. The tab is completely stocked, never rooted because I wouldn't even know how to do that really. I was on it fine last night and all I did was put it down for literally 30 sec to get something to drink and when I came back it was stuck on the Samsung logo screen. Only apps I had open was gmail, chrome and a word document. There was nothing dowloading, system wise or apps. It's already had Lollipop on it for a week or two and I didn't get any update notices or anything. So I'm guessing the problem is it's somehow stuck in a "boot loop" from what I found searching on google and I don't understand why or what could be causing it so that's the issue I'm trying to fix. I can't get past that screen no matter how many times I restart it. Does that help some?

Yeah, so unfortunately your options are very limited and you're kinda stuck with losing everything.
Try clearing cache first but I doubt it will help.
Then reset to factory defaults. That should work and you probably lose everything.
If not, then search this forum for "ODIN" and "firmware" or let me know and I'll guide you when I get back to my computer in a couple hours.

The factory reset should not touch the external SD card at all. So no worries about leaving it in during that process.
Yeah, starting over.
As long as you're doing that, this is a great time to flash a rooted ROM so you can install Titanium Backup and do regular backups of your apps in case you ever need to reset to factory again.
What model tab do you have? Like, mine is a T705.
If it's an LTE tab, who is your carrier?
The ODIN process depends on this info.

Who knows, something is not happy though.
You could try another reset.
Is your battery greater than 50%?
Under a certain percentage, the battery savings feature could possible do weird things.

Lol yea no kidding. The battery has been plugged in the whole time. I'm actually at 100% now. I was really trying to avoid having to bring it to Geek squad. If I do the reset and it does it again, will going to the download mode and doing the custom OS help at all?

Unless it's a hardware issue, then re-flashing the firmware via ODIN could definitely help!
You can ODIN the stock, unrooted firmware or you can ODIN a TWRP recovery and flash any ROM you want for your phone.
Would still need to know the model # I asked for a couple times above.

Okay great, so you can ODIN a TWRP recovery and then flash a nice ROM. Same ROM I use on my phone. It's stock Touch Wiz that has been rooted and some small things have been improved. Very stable. IronROM.
Or you can download the stock firmware from sammobile.com and ODIN back to stock.
I have a Hard bricked Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Sprint sm-n910p all stock carrying the Qualcomm 805 Snapdragon processor. Like a week after it updated OTA to the Lollipop 5.1.1 it just died in my hands one day after i rebooted it because it kept freezing up. It's a relatively new phone, i had it for about 9 months. I can't get it to boot in download mode nor recovery mode. I tried a USB Jig to get it into download mode but it did not help. Odin does not recognize it, my computer only recognizes it as QHSUSB_BULK 9008. I have another Note 4 same model and carrier as mine running the same Lolipop 5.1.1. I swapped the battery and it still did not boot. I was wondering if anyone on here happens to have a debrick image file for this model that they can assist me with. I have researched on here but so far i have only encountered debrick files and debrick methods for most other models except for the sm-n910p model. I have also tried using my other note 4 to create a debrick file but i was unsuccessful with the create debrick program i tried to run on the second note 4. No one seems to be able to JTAG the note 4 well at least not just yet. The second note 4 i have is not rooted nor do i have any custom roms or custom recovery installed on it, i don't really want to void my warranty or have that second phone bricked as well. Is there anyone on here who may have a debrick image for this model or is there a way i can create a working debrick file from my working note 4 so i can write it to an SDcard to revive my dead note 4? Any assistance given would be greatly appreciated!
I am having the same issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/help/note-4-boot-t3423362 My device will not boot into any mode and my computer does not recognize the device the only thing it does(my computer) is play the sound notification when a device is plugged in and taken out. Does anyone have suggestions on how to solve this problem?

Not sure what installation screen you're seeing but hopefully it's either booting to system and going through the update prompts or booting to download or recovery modes(?)
Since you're trying to update over the air (OTA), can I properly guess you're not rooted? If you're unsure why it rebooted during the update, ask yourself, did it go back to recovery or did it try to boot as usual?
Without specifics of error, I'm not sure if your phone boots to system OS or not? It's possible the update file was corrupt or rejected for some reason. Reasons that should be included in your request for help.
But there is a simple solution for OTA not cooperating. Rather than trying to remedy that, you could try to update with Smart Switch or KIES or even Odin.
If it's more serious than that, you could include actual screen shots or message(s) you see on phone and PC if using one of the programs above to flash update.
If the phone doesn't boot, you can try this with KIES emergency recovery:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40966346&postcount=1
If that doesn't work, you'll need to learn Odin. But you need to be able to boot to download mode. You can find what you need to get started with here:

mmc_read error is troubling but I'm not sure if the problem is corrupt download or failure to read properly, TBH. I haven't seen that issue in person and from what you describe, I've never heard of the phone continually try to load the same update? But I'm not thinking it's dead just yet.
What condition is your battery? Over 12 months old? Fully charged or at least 80%? Your battery could be a contributing factor here.
Can you get to recovery by pulling battery, discharging power circuit by holding power button down for a minute, reinstalling battery and holding power + vol-up + home together until it vibrates? Try deleting the cache partitions first and try to reboot. If not try factory reset next and try to reboot.
You'll have to decide if you want to wipe data or not but if you get that far, you may consider just flashing with one of the programs I mentioned earlier.
If you want to skip that, I think you can boot into download manually without it trying to flash that update. If it boots to download mode (hold power + vol-down + home until it boots) and waits for you to install something with prompt to press volume up if proceeding to flash, then Smart Switch, KIES or Odin are alternatives to try. Since you're not rooted, you could try the first two and save Odin for last if you prefer less interaction. I'm not sure but maybe Odin is the only alternative unless the other 2 can recognize phone in those states (recovery or download).
The troubling part is that it could be your internal memory failing (eMMC). If that's the issue, you may not succeed in recovering it but possibly temporarily restoring function. I think it may too early to say component failure. Best to try the least invasive, least risky things to give a fair chance of recovery before everything at it.
Give that a try, deciding what steps are applicable. Ask if you have additional questions. I'll need to know what works, what didn't, and what you tried so taking notes is best.
Edit: If you do decide to go with Odin, make sure your PC's task manager doesn't show any open sessions of KIES or Smart Switch, install the Samsung driver from Samsung support for Note 4 and unless you have Windows 10, launch Odin as administrator only.

I'd advise replacing that battery before trying to recover the phone.
If you were having to pull battery to get to recovery before, I would not have attempted to update with an old and defective battery. It seems that is a symptom of either bad battery or failing eMMC.
I can't say if your eMMC is defective or even if the battery could have contributed to its potential demise.
Hopefully with a new battery fully charged, it flashes and doesn't exhibit such behavior again. Do you have the original USB cable fully functional? If not, consider original replacement for it as well while you're finding replacement battery. As for battery, I'm not sure of a good replacement but others here recommend original or Anker. I wish you success.
I'm interested to hear of your outcome so hopefully the OP doesn't mind the updates; the original failure posted isn't quite the same as yours.

If you're not rooted, you may be able to recover it with KIES or Smart Switch on your PC. Google these if you need them. These offer more automation and convenience than Odin but these also may only work on a phone that's not rooted or modified.
Otherwise, close those sessions on PC's task manager and download Odin and stock tar and flash firmware with that. You would also need to install the USB driver for your phone. You can find stock tar and Odin in a thread in this forum's general thread. Samsung USB driver can be found on Samsung support for Note 4.
Have you had failure to boot that booted into download and mentioned abnormal boot with eMMC read or write failure? Hopefully not; you just need to flash with one of those utilities.
eMMC failures are too often inevitable hardware failure but some manage to continue unlocking phone without having to pull battery using a wake lock app from Google Play. Any reboot, forced or not may duplicate the issue so they avoid reboots to avoid the frustration of trying to boot without flashing again. Ultimately, a reboot or flash could possibly end the life of a failing eMMC. Some have come back days or hours after removing battery. With a sufficient charge, phone may boot again after being in the battery removed state for long periods.
As far as I know, there's only theories about why eMMC fails. I've often thought heat and having shutdowns with old defective battery may speed the failure before it's life expectancy. Others believe that flashing a lot will reach an early demise but I've also read posts of phones never rooted to fail eMMC; these phones may not have been flashed so much.

I would say yes to KIES unless you're comfortable with Odin. There's an emergency recovery mode in KIES that may just be as close to plug and play you could hope for. You still have to find it in the UI. It's been a while but I thought it was on a middle tab, middle of screen when launching KIES.
KIES may offer a prompt to recover and will download the firmware automatically. Just read and verify the prompt to ensure it properly recognized your phone model and suggested firmware.
Or do it manually and less convenient with Odin.

I am still facing the issue and the issue is even greater as i am not able to go to download mode. The phone i guess goes into deep sleep mode whenever i try to restart it. I want to flash new firmware using odin as i think as per as some thread here .IS there any way i can go to download mode now ? i think it took place due to inturupted software update .
It used to show eMMC failed. But sometimes the phone boots normally

The only suggestion I can give is pulling the battery for longer periods may temporarily help to get to download mode or boot. Some suggest also discharging the power circuit with battery pulled (hold power button) may decrease these extended battery pulls but I don't know if that helps.
The eMMC needs replacing. Samsung Support can do this fairly economically but there's about a week turnaround.
Battery pull and wake lock app is just a bandaid. Flashing firmware is likely the same.
Wish there were better solutions but I think replacement or repair is your best option.
