Try flashing an older GB full wipe original ROM

no need to downgrade , download full rom 4.0.3 from sammobile site, flash it via odin,
then proceed the usual way to root and for recovery install proper cf root

4.0.3 ROMs are not wipe
You can, as a last resort use repartition and a pit file in odin

brother my battery was working just fine untill i installed the custom rom
It's possible it was low prior to flashing the ROM, and died in the process of flashing. Flash stock 4.0.3 through ODIN, keep battery on charge for awhile, report back.

Yah its working fine but it will drain your batt after flashing a rom... what is your battery level when you flash the rom? Coz you need a 50% above before flashing...

one of a kind bootloop! please help :S

hey guys i just flashed a new rom and was playing with it...ran antutu and suddenly my phone died...didnt respond to anything..my battery was around 50 percent so i plugged it into the wall charger to see if my love had died but a strange red light poped up which started blinking..so i pressed the home button again thinkin that the phone had revived but the light went away...only to not come back..so i plug it into the usb and the phone turns on..the charging icon comes up..and then the phone reboots again into the charging icon..this goes on and on with a constant red light.. only until when i try to start the phone again where the light starts blinking and the bootloop stops leaving the phn dead again :s...i can get into bootloader but that is very rarely aswell cause most of the time download mode shows up.
to top up the mess after getting into the bootloader i tired flashing the stock kernel..stock recovery..what not..all goes fine only until the phone reboots..only to enter into this charging icon bootloop again..no matter what i do..if the phone reboots somehow while being inside the bootloader the bootloop starts again...ive been at it for the past hour and nothin has sufficed ..please help me...i knw the phone isnt bricked as it wudnt have turned on at all..but wateva it is anyone..please help me!
the rom i had just flashed was chainfire X sr 5!..!
This isn't new. Leave it on the charger for a few hours and try again.
doesnt help as even on charger the bootoop continues.. :S
What about flashing the bootloader? (Not boot)
Download the file and place in the same folder as fastboot then run cmd and type those commands below
cd {Path to the folder here without the brackets}
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz10l.img

It doesn't matter if it continues on charger. The phone needs to cool off and reset. You said this happened during a benchmark, right? Were you overclocked?
nopes no overclocking..ive got no idea wats up so m jus gonna leave it on the charger over night while it bootloops on the charging icon whole night long..!

It will charge in bootloader. It just won't be wearing itself out trying to boot.
i hope it works out..! !
thats the red light of death, or red light of scaring you to death. if you can get into the bootloader, press the power off option then let it charge. what happened is that your device thinks that it went below 0% in battery charge.

several hours should do. I kept mine on the charger all night, it booted later.
See, OP. I told you it wasn't a "one of a kind" bootloop.
ok i accept that it aint one of a kind...but wat i dont get is how did u guys put it on the charge..? i mean i just cant plug the device into a charger without it going into a bootloop!..which obviously wont be helping the cause as constant booting will drain the battery!..so how did u all put it on the charge?
guys thx alot..fixed it..finally..!

Tada. All it needed was time.
nah not really..had the phn on charge over night..didnt do any good..then found this another thread abt the same issue where ppl mentioned quite a few ways..i personally in the bootloader just fastboot wiped everythin and then without the reboot in between fastboot flashed everything all over..that didnt do any good..but then i flashed a custom recovery n tried permanenting it through mskips toolkit..it gave me a constantly sticking google screen..which after turned into the google X bootscreen..for 30 mins it stuck there..after which i again fastboot wiped everything n reflashed through fastboot..and only then it started...
personally i dont think its the matter of battery or anything else...something corrupts all the partitons..as when i was in recovery i wiped cache, dalvik cache,system, user data and they all returned an error of the directory not being there..battery was fine...but something somehow either corrupts all the partitions except for bootloader or something corrupts the sd card in whole...just my two cents!

i think no problem in odin
i rooted my phone when it was in 4.4 os
and also it worked fine for days
but in night i forgot to keep in charge
and from the next day it wasn't booting
it's stuck on boot animation until charge is completely zero
i have ordered a usb jig hopefully thinking it may help me repair
its surely a soft brick

Why not booting in recovery and reset it?
Or even in download mode and reinstall official one, then install the custom you want...

[Solved] Cannot use battery power on recovery and system

So, here's my situation, my phone suddenly turned off last night while installing a game, when i tried to power it up, it "blinking" on the boot logo, it keeps turned on and off, so i reckon its battery has run out, so i charge it, then it works, it can boot to system, after it shows around 80% i unplugged the charger but the phone then suddenly turned off and again, blinking on the boot logo.. so i charge it again just to see it boot to system and shows 80% battery.. i tried to charge it to 100%, but at 100%, the phone suddenly died, again..
at first i thought it might be a battery problem, or power circuit thingy, but here's the catch, it can hold for 30 mins + on bootloader mode..
can someone tell me what is wrong with my phone?
EDIT: flashed stock ROM and Recovery, still no use
EDIT2: Did the QPST as suggested as Rwepradeep, still blinking on lenovo logo
EDIT3: Solved! Battery was the actual problem

okay so i did the qpst thing, it can hold on at download mode until it finished, then after that the phone reboots, and it happened again...
i don't get this phone, it works well on bootloader and download mode, but not so long at recovery.. not to mention i can't even boot into system (can't even past the boot logo lol)
Okay so, i took it to Lenovo Service Center, they told me something wrong with the battery, apparently it hold up on bootloader because the bootloader mode didn't took so much power, so even a broken battery should hold up a little.. Changed the battery, now it works well, thanks for all the help..

S8 stuck at Samsung logo, no boot, no recovery, only download mode !!!

Hello guys,
I guess I won't be the only one having this issue. My phone went dead suddenly, and doesn't boot. It only give a circle with a lightning bolt but not charging, is it a battery issue ?
At the same time, I can only go to download mode, no recovery, and I can flash via Odin, with success, but it doesn't boot up still.
This is driving me crazy and I am not sure whether it's a hardware or software issue !!!
Anyone having any thoughts on this ?
Thank you.
Turn your phone off. Put it on the charger. Leave it alone for at least 1/3 of the day. I've been using Android for a long time. This usually happens to my Androids, at least once in their lifetime. It should be good to go afterwards.
PS: Make sure your charger works and don't touch the phone. Let it get a good 8hr charge w/o touching a button.
Let me know if this works for you.

HEY brother.
my case is a bit weird
i bought my s8 running nougat used it for 2 days and it was all good , so i received the Oreo update and updated it using the over the air when I received connected to wifi.
my phone started to reboot randomly even for 30 times per day , i tried several things like wiping cashe and the only solution that reduced the problem was uninstalling my installed apps. basically normal apps like facebook , whatsapp , spotify ,and even stock apps like calculator and music player.
today as usual I woke up picked up my phone and it started rebooting so i uninstalled some apps but it kept rebooting.
sometimes it reboots and get stuck at GALAXAY s8 boot screen [ not samsung flickering screen ] and all i had to do to overcome the boot loop is pressing and holding volume down and power button.
but one time it got stuck and boot looped once and for all. I tried to press volume down and power button to make it reboot again and overcome the bootloop but it rebooted and got stuck at the bootloop.
I tried to access recovery but i couldn't access it.
I can access download mode only.
my phone switches on itself when it is plugged in to charge , i can't turn it off completely to charge it while off.
I reflashed stock firmware and it succeeded using odin but the bootloop is still there.
please help me with my problem SIR.
and thank you really a tons.
sincerely,
Zack.
Did anyone manage to solve this? My phone has started exhibiting the same behavior.
Unable to power on the phone unless it's plugged into the charger, but if plugged in just keep boot looping to the Samsung logo.
I've tried re flashing the latest stock firmware, but this hasn't made any difference.
sounds like a typical case of the battery beginning to fail
Flash twrp and a custom rom... Only solution but go to YouTube and check how to flash twrp s8 oreo? Must watch
Flash back to stock, leave the phone charged until 100% then use the stock recovery or flash twrp and wipe cache and dalvik
Thanks all for the suggestions.
I've tried to flash twrp but I get the error "Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked by FRP Lock".
I've flashed the stock firmware multiple times successfully via Odin v3.1.13.1 (G950FXXU2CRF7) but this doesn't make any difference.
I still can't boot up the phone. The only thing I can do on the phone is have it plugged in and go into download mode.
I can't boot into recovery.
If I leave it plugged in it will power on, vibrate, boot loop to the Samsung logo all day. (It does not show the charging circle)
Could this be a worse case scenario and be a hardware issue? Don't want to give up hope yet, since I can still flash a firmware with Odin.

It varies depending on what firmware I try to flash it acts differently. All firmwares I try to flash will take a while in "flash analysis" and then to "setup connection" it takes so much time. After wait some time it fails.
I can send you some pictures if needed. When I get home I will.try again and send you the error.
This is what one error looked like trying to flash G955USQK2_Stock_recovery_BoxWares.tar.md5
This is the error.
<10:0/0/004> Odin engine v (ID:3.1207...
<10:0/0/004> File Analysis

Also excuse for PM you, I thought you were going through the same thing but realized this morning during work that it was my post you replied to.
Any Solution??

its Odin mode, not mood LoL
get a fresh download of the firmware youre trying to flash and flash it instead. Get the Frija tool as it downloads the firmware waaaaaay faster than directly from www.sammobile.com/firmwares

Thank you,
Still same issue.
I have now tried another new battery but the same problem,
i am 100% sure it is not Hardware problem.
Samsung always have same these problems but needs much work or using Z3X Box.
Hope for Solution
