Hey there,
I have a Desire z that was completely stock, no mods, no roms, S-on and all that. One day it had a hissy fit because it was trying to update all my apps via GPRS (didn't have the playstore app yet) and I stopped it. From then on, the phone kept on locking up, freexing, hard rebooting and so on, so I reset it back to Factory and installed playstore first.
Well that was all fine for about a month when the phone suddenly turned itself off, then got stuck in a boot loop for about 30 reboots, then it would work fine, then it would boot loop again and so on. So I entered HBOOT, tried to do a reset from there, and the phone froze...
Now the only thing I can access on the phone is the HBOOT and FASTBOOT menu. I don't have ADB access, so I can't push anything onto it (tried all the drivers I can find, ADB will recognise phone in FASTBOOT but not HBOOT). I have tried the official HTC Gingerbread updater, to no avail (detects phone in fastboot, tries to reboot into hboot, then hangs. Booting phone in HBOOT+USB and running that reports the 120 error, Battery below 30%). I took the rom out of the temp file and put it on the SD card, rebooted the phone, and it starts top update via that, but hangs on the first step (Flashing the bootloader partition)
I have tried soo many things, made about 20 Gold Cards, no idea if any of them were correct or not. I tried running the official HTC update on an XP machine, which is known to not show the 30% battery error, but the drivers wouldn't install.
So, at this point, I have a phone that won;t boot past the HTC logo, Hangs when updating via anything, no root, S-ON, no ADB access, no recovery mods, NADA.
So.. over to you guys...
So I was going through instagram like every other day when suddenly my phone boots and the boot just looped and looped... Then I made the hard decision of resetting my phone completely. Did cache wipe and data wipe and thought that it would work now but nope. Still in boot loop. Then when I got home I thought that I'm going to Odin and installing the stock ROM from this site. Then I continued to install the ROM, NEE version (since I live in Finland), and it got installed. Booted and looped. Looping and looping and looping right next to me. I tried using Samsung Kies but it was not doing anything when I was in download mode. Tried the emergency thing but nothing popped up to the list that it should have popped on. Don't know what I have done or what my phone has done. I didn't have root at the time it started the looping nor I have now and don't plan to get it again. Didn't have any other recovery than the stock recovery and have never used triangle away. Suggestions?
Using Odin, flash a rom with a pit file. That should repartition the phone and, hopefully, solve the issue.
Hello,i am new to the forums.
So yesterday i decided to root my phone and was successful using this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/general/wip-root-ze550kl-1-16-40-763-t3275760
I used root checker and it said i was rooted and all was well. This morning my phone died so when i got home I charged it.When I powered on it booted up and said "Android is Upgrading". It then went back to the asus logo and once again said android is upgrading. This continues over and over and I have no idea what to do. I have tried clear cache and factory reset. I am wondering if I can update to the original firmware via USB?
Thanks in advance
May be there was some issue, working fine for everyone.
flash original boot from firmware.
remove & replace battery, start phone in fastboot mode, flash original boot image.
Can anyone PLEASE help??
My partner opted to do a suggested update on her S5, but didn't notice the wifi was off. The phone seemed to have done the update, but shortly after it rebooted itself, then again, then again. The frequency of reboot got quicker and quicker and now it loops between the Galaxy S5 splash screen and the SAMSUNG logo, but doesn't go any further.
I managed to boot the phone into reset mode, cleared the cache and then did a factory reset, but that did nothing to prevent the boot loop.
I then downloaded Odin (ver 10.3.7) and what I believed to be the correct firmware (G900FXXS1CPLV_G900FVFR1CPJ1_G900FXXU1CPIW_HOME.tar.md5).
Having checked the battery was charged, I followed the instructions of connecting the phone via USB, loading the md5 in the AP, checking Auto Reboot and F-Set time in the options and clicking the Odin Start button. I had removed the battery, replaced it and then booted it into the update mode (Power, Home, Volume Down, then volume up) with the screen confirming I was in the right place (....do not unplug.... etc).
The file loaded, (green bar at top of the Odin window on my PC) and Odin reported success. I then disconnected the phone, booted in recovery mode, reset the cache and then did a clear data, factory reset.
The same symptoms prevail, STUCK IN BOOT LOOP!!!!
The only thing different is that if I plug it into the USB on my PC, after a while the phone tries to turn itself on and goes into either a boot loop or freezes on the Galaxy S5 Splash screen or the SAMSUNG Logo.
I am charging another battery (just in case that is in some way to blame) and will try again to replace the firmware, but could I be missing something, do I need to do anything with PIT (I thought this was all taken care of by Odin using the MD5 file) or is there some other test I can perform that will show if the phone is fried???
MANY THANKS for looking!
ur going correct, try to reflash it again through odin and dont disconnect phone until it boots into system, it is taking some good time, so just wait and dont do anything this time like clearing anything or restoring. i hope ull get success.
THANKS - but...
Thanks Rayzen, I will try the whole thing again, but I think there is something more to this than a firmware fault!
There and gone again
OK, so on the 4th attempt I got the phone to take the firmware using Odin, it reported success and the phone rebooted itself (several times) and eventually appeared to boot to a new factory reset.
I put in a SIM card and entered my email and google account details and left it charging over night. This morning when I tried to use it, the screen froze and then it rebooted itself. Hey presto, the phone is back to square one with a boot loop.
ANYONE (please) got any suggestions?
THANKS
No one??
same here, same symptoms, same feeling.
when flash gone right... i feel lucky.. but for half hour only, rebooted and angain in boot loop.
I cannot even boot in recovery. flashed TWRP. from 5 boots in recovery only 1 success.
When trying to wipe phone in TWRP - it hangs.
still trying to install some other (custom) rom. still no success.
hope never dies
same things happened here! now cant get samsung galaxy s5 to boot...............
Are you sure your using right firmware? as it took me a few versions before it booted last time this happened?
Could any please confirm what is the right firmware for samsung galaxy s5 900F
It took another 6 or 7 attempts, left it over night and was about to trash it when it booted.
I then received a 'software update available' message and tried installing it. First attempt put the phone back into boot loop so I reflashed it again using Odin.
That worked immediately the over the network software update installed and now phone is 100%
Very frustrating but I got there!
glad you fixed it! ive tried three different firmwares and still nothing.
trying this one atm
G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FEVR1AND1_G900FXXU1ANE2_HOME.tar
oh and how long do they take to boot when there are sitting at the samsung glowing screen?>
I'm in UK and used what (I had to guess) was the best firmware.
I'll let you know which version it was when I get home tonight.
BUT I had all the problems with a single version and it eventually came good.
I read somewhere that overwriting a different core (from specific providers) with generic firmware, could lead to a world of pain until it gets full replaced... not sure if that's a good description (or has any fact to it) but it seemed to be re-loading and re-loading and re........ for ages, finally cracked it.
well mines booted now!but getting constant errors about samsung push!
If it'still booted, you'very made progress!
Push issues are mentioned elsewhere and can (eventually be sorted) but if you have a booted phone you should be able to get an over the air software update installed from the service provider....?!
Earlier this morning i installed the weekly LineageOS update and upon rebooting the phone to install the update, the phone didnt fully boot back up. It is currently just showing the splash screen and wont boot into the device. Is there anything I can do to see if I can rescue this phone without factory resetting the phone?
Thanks,
