[Q] Bootloop on Galaxy Mega i9205 - Samsung Galaxy Mega

Help! The phone dropped to the ground once and had a crack on the digitizer and LCD screen. I replaced both of them and now, it is stuck in a boot loop (turns on, stays on splash screen) I've tried flashing the latest firmware thru Odin, but the same thing happens. All I can do on the phone is just getting to the download mode. I can't get to recovery, too.

Did you wiped cache and dalvick before reboot?
Before the first bootloop what did you do(Install an apk? Flash a zip?)? Were you rooted? A custom rom? A stock one?
During Odin did you wait for pass and blue color?
have you seen This? Is that similar for you?

Yes, I did wipe both, I didn't do anything weird except a reboot, not rooted, stock ROM, pass on Odin, not similar to the hard brick problem. I can get to download and recovery mode.

You can go now to recovery mode? Have you retry to flash a rom?
Do you remember last version before and the last you install? Couldn't it be you had try to flash an older version?

hello fellas..this my first post here..im using samsung mega lte,and have a problem after root my phones..cant go recovery mode.couse there have a red text warranty bit kernel and 3more text avove in my screen..just stuck at samsung logo..dont know how to do..there any friend here know how to do?its been a month my phone stuckat the same problem

It seems this issue is a difference in screen compatibility. To fix this, you can turn the device on and let it boot into the Android OS, then (while still on), unplug the old LCD and plug in the new LCD. Hit the power button to ensure the new LCD is working properly, then turn the device on, and finish assembling your phone.

same issue
R960 stuck in loop after replacing screen and cant access recovery or odin mode

need help desperately
I just got a galaxy mega from someone an got ripped off because it's running 4.4 kit Kat and had the screen replaced right before I got it, so it doesn't work. Bootloops. Due to not an OEM screen and I don't really have the cash to risk ordering a screen claiming to be oem.
So how can I just downgrade to a version before the need for OEM screen??
Please any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I'm still a bit confused as to what exactly I should do.. there's alot in that thread.. I really can't afford to buy another screen. This really sucks that the update requires OEM screen in order to function.. if I could find a way to fix the issue without buying a screen I'd be extremely grateful!
But I don't have much experience at all with rooting and flashing custom ROMs, and I'm kind of afraid to brick the phone..
Any help to get the touch screen up and running would be highly appreciated!!
Thank you!

I am the only one who only a part of upper screen works? (I can see status bar, and rotating enter to wifi settings and try to get out of welcome screen of att)

[Q] Wierd Recovery screen after CWM installation

Hi All,
Hope you are well. I just flashed the CWM recovery to a locked tab using ODIN, and upon doing POWER + VOL(-) and getting into the recovery, for some reason the screen with all the menu to do wipes/install just seems to be scrolling all over the place.
When I re-flash the stock recovery back using ODIN, the screen is fine again. Tried both 4.0.0.4 and also the 3.2.0.1 versions, with not much luck.
Has anyone had a similar incident? Is there anything I can do? I wanted to try and flash my custom boot.img.
Thanks heaps in advance!!!.
Hi Folks,
Hope you are well - wasn't sure if anyone has come across this - but anyone seen the Recovery mode flickering / scrolling when flashed on a locked Galaxy Tab 10.1?
Thanks again!
I'm using CWM 4.0.0.4 on my locked P7510, works as intended.

Thanks yqed,
For some reason when I have CWM 4.0.0.4, and when I reboot into the recovery mode - CWM shows up - but the screen keeps on flickering / scrolling / refreshing all over the place.
I'm wondering if there is something different in my Retail Galaxy Tab 10.1 WIFI vs. the others - I bought mine from Korea (retail). Appears that I have kernel version 2.6.36.3 instead of .4 and the build is EH14.
Thanks.

I have a Korean 32Gb wifi Galaxy Tab 10.1, and my CWM Recovery also starts having a seizure when I boot into it. It still seems to be working fine, but it is nearly impossible to use.
I would really like to know what causes this issue.
Thanks limenless,
Anyone seen this before? Anyone know if CWM 5 might potentially fix this - seens some thread with regards to this.
I was going to try and wipe the dalvik cache, and others, but seeing the screen is almost impossible to use in recovery mode, having a bit of difficulty there.
Any advice is much appreciated - if you need dumps and others, happy to provide - as long as I get some instructions...
Thanks.

Did you try CMW 5? Preshoot has a tutorial in the development section, its pretty simple just follow it and I think and hope that your issue would be solved!
Why dont you try taking a picture/screenshot of it, best would be using ddms.bat in the android development kit to take screenshot's , or just a picture would do great. Hard to guess what's going on, when someone mentioned seizure, I pictured Dr.House

how can i copy link of youtube here?? i want to show my screen flicker
Just link it here,

Where "bracket" is the ID of your video, those letters at the end. EG: FL7yD-0pqZg
Have you tried Overcome's CWM? I'm using that and it's perfectly fine. PS it's the ver 5 release.
PS; For being an epic House fan I shall see to it that you get it worked out
And to top that off, an offlink to the CWM of Overcome http://www.mediafire.com/?6c5tdmds927npdv
PS: Here's your video, Embedded anyways.
I'm on the same page. My screen flicker after entering CWM recovery mode. Very annoying.
In the development section for 10.1 I was just reading in a thread about a Korean ROM, Pershoot stated something about someones device not being compatible with his kernel. I don't know if either one has to do with the other but I think I read in the same thread of someone having "this problem"
Honestly don't know if anything between this thread and that thread are relevant to each other.
Just thought I'd mention it to see if it helps. sorry if it doesn't apply to anything here.
I somehow fixed it by flashing the tab with an non-HK 3.1 stock ROM using Odlin. then then cwm recovery works fine.
Not really a fix but
You could always just find a pre rooted rom to flash with odin, then once u have the pre rooted rom installed get rom manager and u will no longer have to worry about cwm. Plus u could then flash to whatever rom u need to using rom manager.
My method allows me to have a clear screen in CWM RECOVERY but after I flashed Galaxy Task 14 I get all blurred screen whenever my Tab is resumed from standby. I must set my screen to never turn off to prevent it flickering again.
May I ask which pre rooted ODLIN ROM do you guys recommend? If possible can you please provide the URL to it? I suspect the flickering problem has relation to the harmony between bootloader, kernel etc so I want to use the exact combination you guys are using.

appreciate your help Misledz, 002001-Overcome_CWM_Recovery_v5.1.2.6 got same result.. my screen still flicker..
I think I will give up on CWM too complicated for me
Can you just give me tips on how to root my tab 10.1 without CWM (if that is possible)

When you tried the fix noted above, I assume the screen didn't roll when you rebooted then into CWM recovery. At that point did you flash a ROM and THEN reboot to find the flicker after locking the screen, or did you do a reboot back into the same stock HC after flashing the bootloader and experience the problem?
I'm contemplating flashing this same bootloader because I have a rolling CWM5.5.0.4 right now and I want to stabilize it - but just so that I can root...not thinking about a ROM just yet...
Just to inform you all, i also had to flash a different bootloader after installing cm9 on my p7511, wich is in fact a 7510. For the records, pershoot made the new bootloader for exactly that issue, not backwards. But seems to work also.
What i deal now with, is that after flashing the uk ics for p7510 to my tab, the stock recovery doesn't recognize my sdcard. Can't mount sdcard...
Could be that a repartitioning with pit file will be necessary afterwards for us all.
Edit: thanks to the wise help of msedek, i know by now that my hind was totaly wrong. My mentioned point has to do with the Changes within stock recovery of ics, which have been made to prevent changes from there.
Getting more confident..
OK so it is sounding like this is definitely better. One more question:
I'm following the stickied root guide in General and that method uses CWM 4.0.0.4...I had reflashed that version. If I want to flash this boot loader should I flash 5.5.0.4 first? Or does it matter if I'm just trying to root right now?
EDIT: Flashed the bootloader which straightened out the recovery!! Successfully rooted after that. Downloaded root apps (ROM manager/Titanium/etc). Then turned off my screen - FLICKER CITY!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680738 <<< THIS fixed it. Load this kernel into the root of your tablet and flash it with CWM. Seems to have done the trick nicely and I'm exploring my newly rooted tab! My wife no longer wants to kill me either.

I have the same problem on my P7500 3G and the minute i load the bootloader to fix CWM recovery rolling i get the screen flickering after lock screen.
Rom: ICS 4.0.4
Build Number: IMM76D.XXLQ8
BaseBand7500XXlQ8
Kernel: 3.1.10
Still stuck.
Hi guys,
Gtab 10.1 Wifi here. Fix didn't worked, somehow...
After installing official ics from Samsung and rooted, i had the same insane flicker issue. I followed this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680738 - , flashed new kernel, and now i cant pass Samsung Galaxy Tab logo for some reason, not even past half an hour.
Im in a dead end, even tried installing back CM9 but it also wont pass the splashing blue screen.
Any ideas?
cheers!
EDIT : After some reboots, finally managed to boot into ICS (CM9) but now i was pushed back to the step 1, where I don't have a working camera, but I have root access and non official ICS from Cyanogen. I am afraid re-doing all my work and get stuck again in the scrambled screen after it updates the kernel..
I'm I missing something, guys?
Hi there!
Are you still having problems?does this guide here work for you?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555984
I've found something,the kernel flash package changes our devices' WiFi driver,that's why it doesn't work.
sorry for not giving a fix until tomorrow,it's sleep time here,I know my excuse will be accepted because you all care for basic human needs...
But please inform me if that guide(Pershoot's) has fixed your problem,thanks for that

Dual booting has always been unstable and the only way out is to start from scratch. I would not advice dual booting unless you are able to spend time redoing it.

The only think that can hardbrick was that bootloader you flashed... Don't do that when it's completely unnecessary.

[Q] Help! I think i bricked my S3!

Hey guys, basically, i'm new-ish to flashing, but i was able to do it following all instructions. Yesterday i installed an s5 theme from this site that caused my phone to have problems such as the wifi not working. I was reading that flashing a custom kernel might help, it didn't.
So i woke up, entered my TWRP custom recovery and stupidly factory wiped everything, now my phone wont get past the 'Samsung galaxy s III' screen, it just stays there. I have no idea what to do, i'm dumb enough not to make a recovery file before i started all this so i've ****ed up there.
If anyone can help me get my phone back i'll be extremely happy, i just want it working again! I have work in a few hours and really hope to fix it before then! Any help is appreciated.
Download a stock rom from sammobile.com and flash it the way you flashed TWRP.

So i woke up, entered my TWRP custom recovery and stupidly factory wiped everything, now my phone wont get past the 'Samsung galaxy s III' screen, it just stays there. I have no idea what to do, i'm dumb enough not to make a recovery file before i started all this so i've ****ed up there.
If anyone can help me get my phone back i'll be extremely happy, i just want it working again! I have work in a few hours and really hope to fix it before then! Any help is appreciated.

It sounds like you might need to flash a ROM before it will boot. Your contacts, texts etc are gone if you wiped /data though.

Download a stock rom from sammobile.com and flash it the way you flashed TWRP.

Ah ok, it's good that it worked. I was just worried since you posted this on the i9300 forum and said you were flashing an i9305 ROM.

S6 Edge Keeps on Restarting/Crashing

A good day to all!
I have had an issue with my S6 edge (SM-G925F, Philippines Globe Carrier Version) for months now wherein it keeps restarting/crashing. The problem persists so randomly, sometimes multiple times a day or sometimes a day or two without it. I've already tried everything I could find in the internet, such as; deleting the cache in recovery, factory wiping the phone, and flashing the newest firmware i found for it on sammobile. Noting seemed to work. This is my last attempt in fixing the phone before I give up. I hope someone can give me good advice about this.
So nobody knows how to fix this? I don't care if it's a hardware problem i just wanna know
yh man,same problem...i cant even boot to the system..is your led flashing blue?

Is the phone currently working?
It sounds like it could be the hardware failing, could be the emmc failing.
The only thing to suggest at this point is to wipe data/cache in recovery and flash a new firmware.
Or try a custom ROM. If it happens on the custom ROM also then it's possibly hardware.

Mine can actually boot to the system but it always crashes after some time of use.

That's EXACTLY what i was thinking although i did not know that was the name of the part. I was just thinking the memory module was maybe defective already. Dang it so the logic board should be replaced right? Because as far as I know the memory is soldered to the board and hard to remove by itself let alone replacing it.
I've already tried the wiping of data/cache and flashed the newest firmware using Odin but the problem still persists.
Also tried the custom ROM and I've tried a lot of them non actually boots to the system. Only flashing the official firmware allows me to boot to the system.
Thank you for the reply I will now just give up on this and just buy a OnePlus 3T.

If it's the emmc then only way to fix is to replace the full motherboard, which isn't cheap.
It's a known problem on note 4. Emmc chip fails and eventually completely packs in.
Which custom Roms did you try? Carhd rom is a good one to try very reliable. Also when flashing a custom ROM it can take 20-30 minutes to boot into the system.

True they are very expensive that's why I'd rather just buy a new phone. I just didn't want to give up such good hardware until I've tried everything.
Oh really? I wonder why that's the case
I actually forgot which ones already but I'm sure I tried Carhd and it didn't boot for more than an hour. But I'll go and check again just to be thorough.

Yeah it's a shame really. I could be wrong that might not occur on yours. Normally when you get emmc failure, the phone will reboot to download mode and give you an error along the lines of emmc Write fail. And then keep repeating this.
3T is a good choice to go for if that's what you decide

It's alright I feel like whatever the hardware issue is it'll require the motherboard to be swapped out anyways. I can finally let the phone rest in peace haha thank you very much.
Yeah it's perfect for an android enthusiast. Already ordered one. Good bye and thanks again!

Wouldn't say it was motherboard yet. After you flash your rom you need to boot to recovery and wipe data/cache. This will fix the apps crashing
done,cant boot the system.
gave a visit to a few services,they sad around 50e would be reparation,but im student and now dont have cash for that ****..you have any other suggestions? i tried custom roms,at first magisk would always faild,last time it was ok but still couldnt boot

Do not pay for it. Chances are if you can't fix it they can't either.
So have you tried flashing stock firmware?
What Android version do you have and what region? What's full model number g925?
Reduce the cpu frequencies to 1200-800mhz for big and little and userspace governor. This the only fix.
ok,so one more thing,on the glass back of the phone sits one imei that is not correct,and on the battery is another,which reports 64g version,while next to that number is printed 32gb and phone actually has 32gb lool
it is supposed to be g925f,but after i installed some custom rom,pc showed it as g925s? i think it is due to rom signing the wrong model number
the last thing i have done was yesterday,and it was flashing firmware through kies again.
and this is what i get :
s6 edge powered by android,followed by blue screen 'installing system update',and then recovery
in the recovery,i get this :
android recovery
samsung/zeroltexx/zerolte
7.0/NRD90M/G925FXXU5EQBG
user/release-keys
*recovery options*
No suppoer SINGLE-SKU
Supported API: 3
dm-verity error...
i realy dont know what else to try,and i am open to all suggestions..i have read that emmc storage is broken so this kind of problems can occur,so maybe service would do that?
thank you,i know this is confusing and boring problem
i tried with odin once more,and it failed at 25% instaing system update,then i restarted it and it got up to 32% and started erasing and it turned off..tf with this phone?? i guess its broken...

Download and flash that firmwsre through odin before you try anything else. Let me know what happens.
I can tell you it's likely not emmc failure. For this you would get random reboots and it would reboot to download mode. There you would have an error emmc_write_error.
wowo thanks,i just gave up on that phone,i will try again,i will report back!
just one question,why vodafone?
oh,and i did have random reboots on android m,but it would reboot to optimizing android and boot
