Alright so I have had this phone for well over a year and it has been bricked since I got a hold of it. A friend gave it to me to fix and never asked for it back and since I have had my iPhone I have missed having an android to play with :crying:
It is stuck in a bootloop thing (It shows samsung and when the andorid flies up it freezes and resets) I have been trying to reflash it with odin for ages but gave up and finally decided to seek help after days of googling and searching
If I boot holding VOL + and VOL - , all it does it boot into recovery mode (and I have wiped everything and reflashed the rom on the internal sd card successfully) but it still does the same thing. I have also tried booting in other ways (Such as HOME and VOL +, and HOME and VOL - , but it just goes to the boot loop. I need some ideas because this iPhone is getting broing
Does the phone use the stock recovery? And if you are needing to hold the home button to enter anything, I think you got the wrong forum as the SGH-T989 only requires the VOL Down key to be held to boot into recovery. Are you sure your device is not the I9100?
Ok so, Galaxy note 2 Gt-n700.
One day randomly turns off (not rooted/flashed). Go to turn the device back on and it gets stuck in a boot loop on the first screen, keep rebooting till it ran out of battery.
tried to go into recovery mode Vol up +middle +power. Nothing.
Then tried the other one.. Vol down + middle + power
hit continue at the firmware install and get RPMB: INVALID RPMD Data
Now googling this comes across alot of advice for PIT files and ODIN. when i tried to "install" this it comes up with an error that i cannot remember at the moment on ODIN basically saying cant its broke.
I have now got the phone saying that there is a firmware update and to connect to KIES and do emergency recovery. The damn phone will not connect to KIES and i have reinstalled KIES and all the drivers 500 times. Tried all usb ports.
Now im about 5 minutes from throwing this phone off a wall.
Can anyone help.
Much helps needed.
What ROM did you use before that happened?
If you not on 4.3 bootloader, try to flash oldest stock, one file, firmware through odin.

Is your phone still going in bootloops?Try to enter download mode by pressing volume down+home button without pressing power and see if still goes into download mode.If it does then your power button is faulty.Two scenarios to that either power button is stuck on "pressed" mode which you can resolve by taking out the cover and screws and pushing out the power button (look up youtube video) or worse the power button needs to be replaced totally.If power button is working fine try what the above user stated flash the previous working stock version or flash the latest 4.4.2 stock ROM and see if it bootloop is resolved.
im having the same problem how did you fixed it ??
Hi guys, months ago i rooted my HTC 526G with Kingoroot. I later tried to update the software over wifi. It updated but in restarting its now stuck in boot screen and sometimes goes into recovery by itself. Is there a way I can revive the firmware? Any help appreciated
HTC Desire 526G
I have problem like this ....cant fix it
Warning/Disclaimer: This will erase everything you have on the phones internal memory. (if you have play store set up right, you can just log back in afterwards and it will pull all your data/apps back, however if you don't, make sure to backup any contacts, data, ect that may be on the phones storage before attempting this) (then again, if you were already trying to root, you should have had everything backed up already anyway )
Charge the device to at least 50% (or an hour or two at least if the battery was completely dead)
Hold the Volume Down Button, Press power button, keep holding the volume down button
Phone should boot into HBOOT or Download mode,
use the volume up and down buttons to highlight Recovery Mode
press power button to select Recovery Mode
Phone will reboot with a red triangle icon, press all three buttons at the SAME time (vol up, vol down, power)
use the volume up and down buttons to highlight Clear Data (Factory Reset) press power button to select, let it finish clearing /data/ and /cache/
Once this has completed, Pull the battery out, let it sit for like 30 seconds without the battery
Put battery back in
hold power button for a while until it vibrates, release power button
let it sit at the htc boot screen for 10 minutes phone should eventually move to the verizon boot screen (if it goes over 10 minutes on the htc screen, try procedure again)
Post here if you have any trouble.
Still have problems

i've done the procedure but unluckly i'm still having this problem, did someone fix the loop with this method? should i just wait for custom roms? :crying:
I had it happen to me after trying to root with just about every tool out there, mine would boot up but wouldn't go past the htc boot screen white background green htc. After I cleared the data a few times (at least 3) it came back up, try the procedure more than once. Also be patient and wait the full 10 minutes for it to come back up, sometimes it can be slow to load for the first time after this kind of wipe.

Try to root with "PhilZ Recovery by Ajit", search on google, i don't remember where i have download it, but it is an .exe file.
After you install it on your computer, you select USB debugging, and connect your phone to the computer, the rest of the process is auto.
After the installation process, the phone will autoreboot in recovery, here you will select ---> Advanced Function---> RE-root System (SuperSU).
After that, reboot, and install SuperSU from GooglePlay.
Success.
Root without boot loop (you may want to wipe Dalvid Cache before reboot after selecting root).
I hope this works for you ( it worked for me HTC desire 526g ).
Have a nice day.
IF you dont find the Philz, contact me, i wil send it to you.
Philz Recovery by ajit is designed for devices using the Mediatek processor; Sadly our 526 (no g, no +) uses a qualcomm processor. I do not recommend anyone to attempt to use "Philz recovery by Ajit" to attempt to root their HTC 526 as at best it will fail and at worse it will flash a non-compatible recovery and turn your device into a hard-brick.

My phone was also rooted using kingroot. I received an OTA update and I downloaded it. Once the download was complete, the phone restarted and got bootlooped. Occasionally, it goes into recovery. I tried factory resetting it several times as mentioned in the solution. But each time I turn the phone ON again after factory reset, it is looping. Its not stuck at the boot logo. Instead it reboots automatically and in some cases to recovery. So the wait-for-10-mins thing is not working for me.
1. I received a stock ROM from the Russian section of XDA. Will flashing that ROM using the stock recovery using "install update from SD card" help me recover my phone from bootloop?
2. Will flashing the stock ROM unroot the phone? Presently, even after the factory resetting, "check the software partition" option in recovery returns a message "error - system has root". So I was hoping that unroofing might fix the problem. Will it?
3. If the above method fails, is there any other method? Like flashing a custom recovery or flashing a custom ROM etc?
Please help me fix the phone. Thanks in advance.
I am experiencing the same problem and have tried everything to avail, will this devise ever work again its still stuck with a white screen and green HTC

Hey negomo. I just fixed the phone yesterday. It seems that installing an OTA update while the phone is rooted can result in a bootloop or bricking(as in my case). I fixed this issue by flashing a stock ROM of the HTC 526g which I got from another Russian forum in XDA. Anyway I am posting the link of that stock ROM here.
( I am not allowed to post link. So please delete the spaces to get the actual link)

Once you download it do the following procedure
1. Copy it to an SD card and insert the card in your phone.
2. Press power button+volume up key button to enter HBOOT menu (while turning on the phone, press power and vol up button instead of power button alone)
3. Choose recovery option and press volume down to enter
4. Press power button once to enter recovery
5. Choose "install update from SD card"
6. Wait till it finishes installation
7. Wipe cache
8. Reboot phone
PS: I had already done a factory reset from recovery menu. I don't know if that had helped.
This will bring your phone back to life. Give around 10 mins for the first boot.
I hope I was able to help you.
Hit thanks if I did.
how to know my device 526g or 526

Hi...
I got my S6 Edge+ rooted and attempted to install recovery via TWRP Manager app. This was a mistake and it failed. When I tried to reboot the phone, it became stuck on the start up Samsung logo screen, displaying the message "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing." Then it either sticks there...or quickly shuts down.
Pressing volume down/power reboots to logo screen and that's all.
Pressing volume up/power/home does nothing.
Pressing volume down/power/home gets me to screen where I can connect to Odin. That seems to be working okay. I've tried to flash a couple different recoveries, but nothing has an effect. Some seem to flash successfully but nothing changes. Others fail.
I also tried flashing a stock firmware file (G925TUVU1AOCG_G925TTMB1AOCG_G925TUVU1AOCG_HOME.tar.md5), but that failed.
Seems if I found the right file to use through Odin it might set things right. Or is there another possible solution? If anyone has any help or suggestions (or links!) I would much appreciate it.
Thanks...Mike

You flashed the wrong firmware for your phone, we have a S6 Edge+ G928T and the
firmware you flashed was for the G925T phone.
Make sure that before you odin flash the S6 Edge+ G928T firmware that you go into the
phone's recovery by pressing volume up, power and home button at the same time.
and do a factory reset or factory data reset first.
Your best bet is to odin flash the correct firmware and start from the beginning.
Here is a fast download link for the proper firmware for your phone (COKC):
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24337548750880895
Also the "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing." message you see is normal if
you have rooted and twrp'ed your phone.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
Thank you so much Misterjunky!
After I made that post I was looking at the file name that I copied in there...thinking it should include 928. Why I didn't notice before, I'm not sure, I think I was in a panic searching around for an answer.
The only problem is I can't go into the phone's recovery by pressing volume up, power and home button at the same time. I kept trying desperately to do that yesterday, but no luck.
Any suggestions on getting that working? I have the correct firmware file downloaded and ready to go. Thanks again for the help.

There is another way to get into recovery, it's a bit complicated but if you do it just
right the phone will either go into stock recovery or twrp if you have twrp installed.
You have to have fast and accurate fingers for for the following:
First you need to go into "download" mode, then press the power,
home, volume up and volume down all at the same time until you
see the full black screen of the phone without any writing on it.
While still pressing all four buttons let go of the volume down button
while pressing the other three buttons, then keep pressing the three
buttons until you see stock or twrp recovery on the screen then let
let go of all the buttons.
Remember, when doing this you need to be not only fast but very accurate.
If you still cannot get into recovery then you need to go into download mode
and odin flash the official stock G928T firmware before doing anything else.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
Thanks again for the help Misterjunky. The alternate button presses to enter recovery didn't work either...the phone was very messed up.
Plus the battery wouldn't charge. It had drained out (because at first it wouldn't turn off), and so the phone would stay on only intermittently when plugged in. Not long enough to flash the firmware, which was very frustrating.
But suddenly, in desperation, I got a version of TWRP to flash successfully from Odin and open...which allowed the battery to charge. Then I was able to flash the firmware from your link, and after a couple of false starts, it was working perfectly.
I've subsequently found the correct version of TWRP to flash in your post in another thread, and it's fine. Now the phone is re-rooted and back to normal.

I've had the same issue on my phone, however when I download the stock firmware and flash with TWRP I get an error: "could not locate meta-inf/com/google/android/update/binary"
It also freezes and crashes odin anytime i try to flash through there.
Am I missing something? I have the same model (SM-G928T)
Ok I feel stupid. I have been this stuff for a while but I just got a new in box Note 4 to play with and trying to root. CID is 15 and it came with 6.0.1 and I just Odin to 5.1.1 and it just boot loops. I tried running the Odin several times and same thing.
I flashed this file 5.1.1 N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVZW2BPA1_N910VVRU2BPA1_HOME.tar
What am I missing here?
Not alot of help in this Note 4 area... You all are to quiet. LOL It seems like the rooting community is going away. I myself will not own a phone that is not rooted. Running the Moto X Pre as my daily driver and it's an awesome phone.
So I will post what I did to fix this Boot Loop Issue after trying to downgrade firmware to 5.1.1 from 6.0.1. I picked up the Note 4 from a local sell new in box for 100 bucks I figured what the hell kool phone to play with.
Ok I just flashed this official verizon 5.1.1 firmware N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVZW2BPA1_N910VVRU2BPA1_HOME.tar with Odin 3.12 again
So After I got done flashing this firmware I did these steps.
1. Turn phone off completely.
2. To start the phone, press the following keys simultaneously: Power Button, Home Button, Volume +
3. When the first logo can be seen on the screen, release the power button, but hold the Home button and the Volume + button pressed
4. It now appears on the screen of your phone, a small menu. Navigate with the Volume + and Volume - keys. An entry is selected by the Power Button
5. Select in this menu now "Wipe Cache Partition".
6. After you have selected the entry the Wipe cache is flushed. This takes a few seconds. Then it automatically returns to the small menu.
7. Now select the top entry with "Reboot Now"
Also while I was in that menu area I went ahead and did a factory reset wipe all data.
My Verizon Note 4 is now on 5.1.1 and works.
Now I will continue to root this thing.

so the bootloop was caused by ? im gonna guess dmverity but it could also just been misflashed ....failing to uncheck the reboot upon flash option for example . powering the phone all the way down then into recovery ....id like to go with misflash if you had failed dmverity you would have seen a red message in recovery stating that was the case
Boot Loop help or can I pay someone to fix?
So my wife's Note 4, not rooted. Must have failed during a forced update. It's gone into 2 types of boot loops. Either it says 'Recovery boot' only, with no recovery menu, followed by the 'Galaxy' screen, and then back to the boot loop. Or it shows the Galaxy screen, and just barely begins to initialize the 'Samsung' logo with the 'S' first, and then back to boot loop.
I've tried about 3 different firmwares through Odin, including successful ones that 'Pass'. And it still exhibits the same loops. I've tried bootloaders in Odin, about anything you can imagine. It's clearly not bricked, but I cannot for the life of me make progress.
The old battery I thought was going bad (a lot of bad battery problems with loops), and I bought a new battery. But given it will only loop (outside of the download screen), I can't even get the batteries to charge because it's either looping or on download screen.
Any questions or ideas? Or is there a user who is an expert I can ship and pay to fix?
I'm a novice in large part. Thanks guys.

Hi when in odin ensure you untick reboot after flash . Power it all the way off upon sucessful flash then power it back on into recovery (hold up volume power home) wipe cache wipe dalvik reboot system. The power off is absolutely crucial and the most common flash error. If this doesnt work repost shouldnt be too hard to fix things is damn near unbrickable
If you change from 6.0 to old 5.1.1 firmware with Odin it will go into bootloop. You must do factory reset, than use Odin to flash 5.1.1 and than do another factory reset.
