My phone is stuck in bootloop, and My Volume down button does not work, so im unable to remove the battery and boot it into CWM for a restore..
is there anyway to get into cwm without volume down or booting into the os as im stuck in bootloop?
Using adb maybe although I don't know if you would be able to.
Try adb devices in command prompt with the phone connected to the computer.
If it shows up then type adb reboot recovery and it'll boot into recovery but since you are in a bootloop that may not work.
yeah it doesn't boot into the os so my pc won't recognize it
i could fix this if my freaking volume down button would work?? does anyone thing this will be covered under my samsung 1 yr manufacturers warranty??? has anyone delt with them on something like this??
Any way you can persuade the volume button to work?
Well I have never had dealings with them so really can answer that question bit you could tell them you had a defective volume button and corrupted memory.
I think that is kinda common for these, it would be a good excuse for the bootloop.
thing is it's sporting the Franco kernel boot animation
any tricks for making this button work????
i've tried to poke inside with a screw driver, it's not obstructed at all it's just not responding..
I had the same problem. You need to put your phone into stock and start over again. It's pain and time consuming but it's better than having a paper weight. Remember our phone is hard to brick so have that positive note and for the future reference what not to do. Cheers!

Ah I see...
Hmmmm, the only way is to play around with it, press it down and move it around. Push it left and right" that kinda thing. Trial and error.
Maybe before you bring it to the shop let the battery go completely dead so they don't see the boot animation.

How did you return your device to stock if you couldn't boot into recover or the os?
If it is boot looping then your ok because they can't see anything. IMHO your good to go.

They can see his non-stock boot animation though
hmm but the thing is it's rocking the franco kernel boot animation
arguably, it really is a hardware issue thats preventing me from repairing my phone..
im hoping they won't just up and say that it's rooted so we dont' cover phsyical issues..
i've only had this phone 2.5 months
This is tough... So your vol buttons are broken? Hmm only solution would be adb or warranty... Sorry bud I'm out of options

arg.. well a warranty replacement is gonna take a while if they will take it.. i will call them tommorow but i don't have very high expectations..

actually, a replacement unit ship out really fast.
Well i will have to get up early tommorow and find a way to call them and see what they have to say, any tips, should i tell them yes it's rooted but my issue is with the volume rocker?

No!!!!
Tell them nothing of the sort!! Say broken volume rocker or corrupted eMMC.
So basically because i can't reset the flash counter on the phone there's no way i can send it in the state that it's in as i've flashed several roms on it, i ordered one of those usb jigs off of ebay to hopefully put it into odin mode so i can restore it..
If there's anyone reading this that's in Vancouver BC that has a jig that might want to help a guy out i'd be forever greatful
as far as I know there is no flash counter in the gnex.
Dear All,
Lately I'm experiencing a strange issue with my mobile. The S-Pen just stopped working. I thought at the beginning that the S-Pend is defected, but after trying it in a different Note 2 devices it worked fine. Now, the problem is in the screen, it does not recognize this Spend and neither other pens I tried on it. I have a screen protector, but the S-Pen was working fine on it before. What do you this is the reason behind this strange action??
Thanks a lot
try a hard reset.
Does the phone still detect when the s pen is taken out of/placed into the phone?
If not, it could be an issue of that coupled with s-pen battery saving being enabled.

Excellent question! Try rebooting your device. If no go there back up your needed things and factory reset/restore the device. If that fails and you are on a custom rom go back to stock and test.
Thanks a lot .. I was on an original ROM with Root enabled. I did a factory rest multiple times. i even installed the CM10.1 ROM to test it but with no luck!
And the phone recognize that the pen is pulled out when I pull out the S-Pen ..
What is meant by Hard Reset??
Thanks a ton for your support and for the fast response.
Might sound basic, but are u using magnets around it? My pen doesnt work when i have the case on, because it has a magnet on it. It may be that. Try it without the case on.
Hard reset = losing ALL of your internal storage (game data, etc), and starting afresh, like you did when u first took it out of the box. Sometimes called a factory restore/reset.
Thanks a lot for the follow up. Yes I had a case with magnet. I now removed this magnet from the case. I'm now without the magnet for almost 5 days with no luck. Does the magnet may corrupt the screen?
Its tym for you to unroot and take it to service center .
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Hmmmm... I'm not an expert, but I'm quite sure that magnets don't 'corrupt ' or permanently damage the screen. As above, by aukhan, service center, I think.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
its the case!
I'm not going to let my galaxy note 8.0 be with a defect because a part of the screen cannot be detected by the s-pen. After reading this thread I noticed that the part of the screen that does not work with the s-pen is where the magnet is on my case. After I removed the case, the s-pen worked perfectly.
Thanks to this thread it has spared me from lining up at the Samsung service center though I'm now off to get me a new case.

So this is the fastest way how I can introduce to you my problem - please open Attachments and see my battery history. My phone just back from the service repair. They told me that the battery has been replaced. Maybe it was big mistake that after I get my compact in hands I rooted him and restored the old ROM and now I'm worring that I just have broken next battery. Is that possible? or my phone wasn't repaired...?

Just flash a stock rom and see what happens. Maybe some combination of your old features is bad for batterys.
I have exactly the same problem. Sending of for repair tomorrow. It seemed to start when I started using Google voice but when I stopped using it the problem stayed so I think it's unrelated.
I ran into problems after installing Lollipop,now my z1c won't charge like it used to. I had it charging last night for 10 hours and it went from 11-50%, have no idea what happened. Did factory reset and even installed from the scratch again with no luck. Also I sometimes get the text power is going faster than you're charging,etc. Tried three different chargers and cables.

Did you experienced any water damage?
If you're asking from me,no I had a bootloop first trying to flash rooted Lollipop,don't know if that damaged something. But I've had hundreds of bootloops before so my phone should have been dead long time ago.
Lähetetty minun D5503 laitteesta Tapatalkilla
Finally succeeded charging to 100%,only able to do so by turning off phone while charging. Calibrated the battery and installed Better battery stats to see are there some bugs eating the battery like crazy.

Hey, did it solve the battery sudden drop issue??
Edit: If possible, please attach ur battery usage snap with the new battery..
Yeah, solved the sudden drops. Still don't get as much life as when I originally got the phone but I think thats due to apps syncing too often etc.
I'll try and post a picture in a bit.

So you are using kitkat... I am having the sudden drop issue in lollipop and some other people also facing it only lollipop .. I think its software issue in lollipop
Yep on kit kat. I thought it was software originally but it did it in recovery and also after being repaired in pc companion. There's several people on here with the same issue, I had an online chat sessionand they said send it in for repair.
Facebook and Google Play Services Keep Alive permission -> OFF helped things a lot in Lollipop, using the App Ops app from Play Store. Still getting Facebook notifications just fine.

Yea.
Syncing, checking mail automatically, keeping Wi-Fi on all the time.
I don't know better methods to get rid of battery woring long hours.

I have this same problem a few months, according to a person specialized in htc, all the devices of the one line are having serious problems of hardwere, where a part responsible for the signal power fails by oxidation of the solder causing the problem, becomes unviable The repair due to the risk of resolda of the plate cause a general failure in the device, the chances are 50% of success. The low chance of success is related to the type of solder used, being able to use the resolda to damage the plate of low thermal resistance. Sorry for the bad english of google.

Steer clear of the g4. Bootloop issues and if its not the rite model no bl unlock no twrp or root.
Good device but can shutdown and bootloop and day. Like a ticking time bomb.
Good device
Don't play games and you won't bootloop
Although at this point you can probably do better

Its got nothing to do with playing games. Well kinda the added heat from gaming does induce bootloop faster But I vred on mine and snes roms all the time never suffered the bootloop. But I also thermal pasted.
I Do agree is a wonderful device but that one issue alone is enough to stear clear

My device is over 2 years old has never bootlooped
I have a pre release
So I don't know
I don't let my phone get hot...don't let it charge in bed....play games...leave it out in sun etc
Only issue I have is when developers start playing with voltage...my phone will reject the ROM. It will start looping...I take out battery immediately....specifically LG modified roms

I use it while it is charging all the time
The problem is allowing heat to build up. Leaving it on ur bed while it charges causes ALOT of heat...so does playing games.....
Charging it in my hand while I use it does not
I don't really keep track of the HEAT
If it is hot it is HOT....time to pop out the battery
I'm still on 6 cores I also have 1gb ram less than everyone else

Avoid kernels and any ROM that has modified voltages and you should be good. Try to get a G4 starting with a 6 or 7 serial number
You will need a g4 h811 or 815 for custom roms
id say go ahead .. but get one that is unlockable. if you in the USA get a h811 tmobile and make sure it is some places sell as h811 but motherboard is another locked bootloader variant.. if in other country get the one that can be unlock research on that.. h815 european
also for bootloop get one manufacture after 2016 or 3 digits of serial number 601 upwards 605 702 ect.
Hi Guys ..
Thank you so much guys, so what is the model now to purchase (H811 or H815 or H818)?!! to have the ability to unlock the Bootloader and root.
Thanks.

usa h811 .. but it has less support.
if h815 then .. search in google for lg gg4 that can be bootloader unlocked .. its xda thread and it has all the variant list that can be unlocked.
