[Q] Galaxy S I900 reboot loop - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum - looks wonderful!
Unfortunetly I got here with a big problem :
I've been trying to flash some ROM but it never succeeded.
When I start my phone I see the CM7 logo coming up, right after that I get a screen like its trying to install the ROM or somthing...few lines being written to a log looks like recovery mode and then the phone is rebooting again and this process happens again...infinite loop!
I cannot get my phone into download mode in any way..tried :
1) vol up/down/both + home + power
2) 301k ohm JIG between the 4th and 5th pins
Nothing helped, cannot see the phone in Odin when its rebooting like that.
Some history - I never been to download mod, but been to recovery.
I had CM7 installed before trying to flash this new ROM.
Any help would be appreciated, if its possible at all.
Thanks!

If yount wont come to download mode it is hsArd to belive you can fix this. As i wrote you also wont get into recovery mode.... are you sure your dooing it right there are lots of youtube vids out there. I have some issues too to get in download or recovery with my galaxy. You hav to stop press once you see the galaxy logo... if you get to recovery mode under advance you can boot to download mode...
Once you are there search a rom you can install over odin like darkys rom 9.2 i think.....
Otherwise bring it to samsung...
Cheers and good luck

[Q] Galaxy Tab 10.1 Stuck in Boot Loop

Hello everyone,
My Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7500 is stuck in a boot loop which only shows "Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" on screen. I've tried pressing the power button to power down the device, but the screen will just go blank for a while and then the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" will show again. There is no way for me to go into download mode.
Any way to solve this problem?
I've tried and tried and finally got into download mode, used Odin to install a kernel. Everything runs OK, until it reboots. Then I see the logo again for awhile, suddenly it powers off, then unable to switch on anymore. I think the battery is dead, will try later after it is charged up.
Nobody seems to care about the issue I've face.
Anyways, been trying out all the solutions that I can find all around XDA, it turns out only "restocking" can solve my problem.
Re-flashed my tablet following the guide at Team Overcome's site.
Maybe these instructions will help
a while ago i got my tablet stuck in bootloop... after a lot of research... i fixed it and put the step by step here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329261
Let me know if it helps!
You should get a USB jig. It'll jump you into download mode. Unless that tablet doesn't use the mini usb... Which it might not. If you have a custom recovery on there, then wipe data, then install a new ROM

Hi - will a "USB jig " help me with my problem, or do you have any Suggestions?
I was flashing stock 4.0.4 ICS via Odin and unfortunately I walked away from my computer for a quick minute ... and my 3 year decided to unplug the tablet. I previously had CWM v.5???? - now I can see the download screen, then get to the OS warning screen.
Then when it says to hit volume up to continue and down to cancel ... I hit volume up and it goes into bootloop and when I hit down it goes into download load but Odin doesn't recognize it.
Note : I have to hit the opposite volume to even get into download mode.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
if im not wrong you can restore with kies, emergency firmware ....... or something like that, did you try?

[Q] Recovery mode through PC

Hi guys, I have a Samsung Galaxy S Plus where, after flashing CWM with Odin, and installing cm11, I don't know why,I'm stuck on an infinite boot animation. But that is not the big issue. I need to enter Recovery Mode, where I have a backup, but the problem is that my Volume Up button is not working, so I can't use the Power Button and Volume Up(I also don't know what could possibly wrong with it, if you could help me also with that, it would be awesome ) one to get there. So I was wondering if there is some other method to enter Recovery, I suppose by computer. I think that when I used Odin, the device restarted being in Download Mode, and I think that it hasn't to be On to do that. I hope I'm not wrong.
Thanks
And sorry if someone already asked that

[Q] I-9300 bootloop and no recovery

Hello,
I have a S3 which is stuck in a bootloop at the samsung logo.
when i turn it on it shows the logo for some seconds then the screen goes black and the logo re-appears.
i can not boot into recovery mode, but download mode is working without a problem every time.
i tried flashing stock firmwares with odin and also tried kies emergency firmware recovery. the flashing always went without any problem, but it had effect. whatever i try, i am never able to boot into recovery and still stuck in the bootloop.
in some tries after flashing the screen just shows the samsung logo forever, but after rebooting it once it then is stuck in a bootloop again (shows the logo - screen goes black - shows the logo...)
i also tried flashing TWRP and CWM via odin, but again i can never boot into recovery mode.
what should i try next?
thx alot for any helpful comment

You can Try this:
1.) Pull out battery
2.) Put it in again
3.) Press Vol up + home + power
4.) When the Samsung Logo appears let it off
I think you press the Buttons too long.
I had the same problem!

i really tried everything, it's not working. btw with i am stuck at the very first image, where it says "samsung Galaxy sII GT-I9300".
i dont think it's just the way i press the buttons because i can reach it on my s1 and s2 without a problem, it's just not working on this device.
could some setting like "nand erase all" in odin help? in other threads there is sometimes mentioned that the internal file system might be screwed up and in those cases a simple odin reflash does not help anymore...
Nand erase will usually hard brick it. Try the rescue firmware from general forum, sticky thread. Follow the guide exactly as it includes a pit file.

thx, but i already did that (multiple times) and flashing via odin always succeeds. then the phone reboots and is stuck at the first samsung galaxy s.. screen. twice i managed somehow to get into recovery (after flashing cwm6) but it then randomly rebooted.
and i dont think that the power button is stuck because when i am in download mode it is perfectly fine it never reboots itself unexpectedly.
Had a similar issue on my tab2 p3100. It all happened when I tried flashing a custom recovery from rom manager.
A bad flash of anything related to recovery or bootloader could be a probable cause.
I remember a knowledge share on one of the threads describing this issue and as mentioned on it all I had to do is this:
1) switch off the device and plug in the charger. This would light up the display showing you the charging status. The status has to show if at least your bootloader part of the phone is fine.
2) plug out the charger and immediately press the three buttons (home + vol up + power) get into recovery mode. This step has to work and help you get to recovery mode.
***Note : the interval within which this step has to be performed is too short since the display would turn off immediately as soon as you plug out the charger. A bit tricky too so you have to be fast. If this misses getting you into recovery, pull out the battery and put it back again. Repeat step1 and 2 again.
3) upon successfully getting into recovery, perform wipe data, cache and select reboot phone from option available on recovery again.
Allow the device to boot. This could take a while since you have performed a data wipe and may prompt for first time set up.
I was able to restore functionality on my tab after these steps and like ppl learn from their mistakes, I then learnt that recoveries and bootloaders are things that needs to be done with a pc only.
Worth a try if you have tried other alternatives and found no go. may help. Who knows..
all the best.
thats also not working. i tried to get into recovery since two days now...
i also tried the steps from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-pit-bricked-dead-problem-gt-t2535367
but again, after i flash the cf-root (successfully) the phone does neither boot into recovery by itself nor can i do it by hand...
its crazy... in download mode i can see the model number (GT-I9300) and i thought as long as the model number is there and i can enter download mode there should be a way to recover the device.
but i cannot think of anything to try that i have not done yet
If the rescue firmware didn't help then it looks like the emmc chip is damaged.

is there a way to make certain of this? how can i tell if it is really a hardware damage and not just a software brick?
i just dont want to let the phone go, it looks still so shiny
is there anything else that could cause the phone not booting into recovery mode after flashing custom recoveries?

Same here, still didn't found how to fix it.. I guess our motherboard just died..
Howewer I have a solution that "almost" worked for me.
Get a stock firmware in odin and turn on Nand erase and T-flash
When it's done phone reboots and you'll see just "Downloading..." mode when you turn it on.
Then got to Kies and Select firmware recovery...
Enter s/n and model name and wait for the flash to complete.
With it , I got past boot logo and actually booted into android but the phone crashed because I guess I have a memory issue..
Well , gl. If you don't find anything else helpful , try going with this method..

[Q] S3 bricked? need some help

Yo guys well it eventually had to happen someday. Well i will try to explain what exactly happenend.
I had the Sensation 5 Rom on my device. which means i was on 4.4.2 the CWM recovery is 6.0.4.7
yesterday i decided to flash back to the Revolution HD Rom which is 4.3 if im not mistaken... i didnt change the cwm recovery.
There were no problems while flashing and the Revolution HD Rom was working fine until today when i decided to boot into recovery Mode.
(My hardware PowerButton is defect thats why i took it out of my phone so yeah there is no Power Button on my S3)
Because i cant use the 3 button combo to get into Recovery i used the App quick boot and used the App to boot into Recovery mode.
Now from there on my Problem begins. The Samsung Logo appears then the phone boots into Recovery but only for roughly 1 second.
The only thing i can see is the circle with a hat in the middle (the logo) and the cwm version on the bottom before the phone shuts down and everything starts again...its kind of a bootloop only going into recovery mode for 1 second and then starting a new.
Which mena si CANT use recovery Mode and i ALSO cant get into Download Mode somehow... ive tried holding the Volume down button and Home button and everything but i cant get the phone into download Mode so yeah phone is stuck in that Bootloop which i explained above.
Do u guys think that a Usb Jig from Amazon would actually work getting the Phone into Download Mode? or is it a lost cause and i should start looking for a new phone? ^^
i would appreciate any answers a lot !
No one who can help? :/

well if i try adb the device isnt shown as connected because well the phone restarts every 2-3 seconds.
If there is still any other way wich it could work without a usb jig that would be awesome
ive found a thread over google which said something about sp tools and scatter files....looked like it was possible to change the files of the phone while it was shut down....Does somebody on here know if this is possible?

Stuck at samsung logo! (volume down button not working.)

Hi. I'm new here, and I really need help!
It started today when I'm tired of a disaster lagging using android 5.1.1 rom on my Galaxy tab 10.1 (GT-P7500).
So, I decided to flash a stock rom to go back to honeycomb 3.2
And basically, a volume down button on my tablet is broken. so I won't be able to reboot in recovery mode.
I tried reboot in download mode by pressing power + volume up button but it won't work either.
Then I managed to reboot in download mode and use Odin to flash a rom by using adb cmd but I didn't boot to recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset first(I don't know if this has something to do with this problem.)
And that brought me to a dead end problem.. Stuck at the logo while booting up. :crying:
I don't really know what else to do or is there some hope with this situation. I plugged a usb to my pc while in logo screen and it showed up as SAMSUNG_Android so when I check by typing adb devices in command it's there but can't get it to work since adb required debugging mode.
I think I will probably end up order a new button for replacement but I feel like I should ask a professionals first.
