Somehow i Think my /boot partition has become corrupted. Yesterday i was switching batteries to put in an externally charged secondary battery and when i rebooted i couldnt even get to the samsung splash screen.SO i switched back thinking maybe the battery had gone bad but it gave the same error after the phone was just working phone. No matter how long it charges its like i have nothing to boot too so it stays on the battery screen rather im charging the phone or not. I can enter recovery mode and download mode. Ive factory reset from recovery, Ive reflashed stock from odin and still no luck. Ive been searching for answers all morning and night with no luck. People have reported the same exact problem with no answer as of yet.
i found a thread for the NOTE 1 discussing a similiar problem where the solution was flashing a custom PIT and sacrificing 2gb of internal storage to get the phones back , im willing to do that i just need some help as im leaving for basic training tuesday and i dont want to leave without a phone.
has anyone had this grey battery screen problems and found a solution?

I think the thread you found was in relation to the emmc brickbug. I think your soulution is similar to that one though. When you odin'd it did you use a pit? If not then you should try that first.

Was it error 7, if so its because you need to remove the asserts from the ROM. Also if you flashed a ROM from another model that is not compatible with your phone, you probably soft bricked or fully bricked it. If it goes into download mode, its not fully bricked. Try download mode by holding volume down, home, and power button together. Also philz advanced cwm recovery is the only one not giving me any problems these days.

I wish my phone would even go to download mode, I think is fully brick
I updated to the latest firmware version to be able to use Insert Coin 5.0.1. The problem is that after doing that, my phone is only showing the HTC logo and the white screen.
If I plugged it into the PC it recognizes the phone and when I boot it even plays the music, it is like it is working but I can only see the HTC white screen with the logo.
I have tried to install a custom recovery, trried to get back to stock but the problem is that I didn't have USB debugging enabled so ADB will never recognize the phone.
Is there any way to bring the phone back or did I just turned into an expensive paperweight?
Edit 1: My sister in law just called me and I was able to accept the call. At least that shows the phone is working, is just the stupid logo screen won't go away.
Edit 2: i went back to the previous firmware version, but the same issue remains. I don't know what else to do, any ideas please help!
I guess it doesn't matter anymore. I ended up buying a new M8 on Amazon...
However, if someone knows how to fix my problem, I would really love it to at least sell the one that went bad.

what model is your phone ? you can RUU back to factory settings. all you need is the MID / CID and Software version (.401 / .521 / .502 /.1540 ...etc)

Hi, today when i was trying to unroot my smt110 and something wierd happened. I couldnt find anything on the forums similar to my story. So this is what happened.
I was installing the stock rom through odin. Half way it said failed and my tablet changed from download mode to Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. The thing is that every forum said to restart it. My story is that my tablet want start without it being connected to power or usb. And if it is, it autoboots and loads this message but after 2-5 seconds the screen flickers and turns off. By this, I cant connect my device to my pc to install custom recovery and a custom rom to fix it.
Has anyone had a problem like this? Can someone help me?

Hi
I also have the T110 and am trying to get booting into Android again with a custom-rom for the device.
Your problem is very odd (strange) but i believe it is the way you are saying. If you can´t boot into download-mode that really sucks. Something is wrong with the firmware i think. Might be hard to fix.
Why did you want to unroot the Tab? Usually it is a good thing to have root-access. In my case i wanted to have a clean device without google-apps. Maybe you can take a look at my Thread and you can find an idea for a solution for your problem.
I hope there will be one.
Keep it up mate :good:

First i wanted to install some other rom. It didnt work so i tried going back to Criskelo. But the problem is that I couldnt find any good link to it (link on original thread is broken). So I decided to go and install the original firmware. And then this happened. As described, the tablet DOESN'T boot unless plugged into some power source. When i plug it, after 2 sec it boots STRAIGHT in the connect to kies or something like this screen. After 5 secs in this screen, it switches off and the whole process repeats. Can't connect it to the pc in any way.
Hello everyone, hope someone would be able to help me recover this phone
The phone gets stuck at the logo screen, left it like that for 7 hours but no change
Recovery mode gives a black screen, not sure if it does access it but display nothing or doesn't access it at all
I have tried using Kies but every time I type the model as per the sticker under the battery, Kies replies with "Please check model number"
I can go into Download mode, Odin detects the phone as COM 3, but doesn't go beyond the initialization step
Some people actually suggested smacking the phone on the power button side, I did it as I was desperate but nothing changed
As the list above states, I am out of ideas and not sure if I can get this phone to work again.
Just to let everyone know, it had a stock firmware, no root and no custom recovery.

according to a repair shop, it is more of a hardware issue and some parts would need changing but cost was almost the price of the phone if i were to sell it while working so it wasnt worth it
how was your experience with the battery of the S4 Mini Duos. For how long does ir last ?? and how much time does was it taking ??
Thanks,,
