Hey guys hope you're fine ^^
A friend of mine is having an issue with his phone so he asked me for help, and now i'm asking you lol
well the problem is that :
1- having a weird colored screen on startup (1st attached image)
2- after few second the phone just get stuck on boot animation (2nd attached image)
3- sometimes the phone goes into and update screen and then get stuck on 5% and after a while reboots (3rd attached image)
4- the phone just wont shut down it when i hold the power button the screen goes black, then instantly i feel a vibration and the multicolored screen comes back, then the same story "boot loop"
Well now let me tell you how this problem occurred, well my friend bought this phone from someone, so he doesn't know if there was custom recovery ever installed on this phone or if it's on stuck recovery
the phone was working fine, then one day an update notification pops up, he does the update, the first time it showed him an error message, but he tried one more time and it got throw the update process, unfortunately the phone got rebooted but never made it past the boot screen
now because the phone won't shut down, i can't get into fast boot or recovery mode (i don't know how to do that unless the phone is shut down, and doing the volume/power button combination)
i'm really stuck here and don't know what to do, i'd really appreciate your help guy
PS: sorry for the English, that was the best i could do
EDIT : i managed to get into fastboot mode,yeeeey! (see the 4th attachement)

I urgently need help as my lg optimus l9 p769 will not boot past lg screen (it is not a boot loop it just stays frozen for about 4 seconds then it shuts off, then if I put my charger in, it boots to the lg logo and permanently freezes there)
this first started when I changed my cm 10.1 theme, I left my phone but when I came back it was off. the only way for me to turn it off was to take the battery out. When I took the battery out and put it back in, it would automatically boot itself up. Eventually I decided I better change my recovery from the physical keys to the touch screen one. I flashed a touch screen clockwork recovery through adb from my command prompt after I did that I decided to boot into the recovery so in the command prompt I typed up the command to boot into the recovery when I did that nothing happened and I was still in fastboot mode. So I decided to shut the phone off, after that that's when it started to not boot past lg logo screen and freeze on logo screen after I put in the charger.
I cant get into download mode
my recovery does not work
my power button might be broken( I cant tell as it suddenly stopped working for no reason after I applied a new theme)
(I will open up my phone if I need too, if I do how would I disable the power button, or fix it)
Nevermind got it fixed
During the day as I was using my Lg P760 it locked up and went to reboot itself but it also locked up at the play logo animation (I waited for over an hour but nothing) So I removed the battery and reinserted it and started back up and got the message
--------------------------------------
Secure Booting Unsuccessful
Cause:
---------------------------------------
Please!
Edit: Now when I got home from school the phone turned itself on and has the buttons lit up with a blank screen...
(Lg should actually tell the cause too...)
Last night I downloaded the latest CM13 for Feb. 14 on my phone and was going to update. After the download finished it gave me the option to reboot and update so I said Ok. Ever since then my phone hasn't booted up to anything. I try booting into recovery mode and download mode but all I get is the Galaxy S5 screen and then the Android logo with text under that reads "Installing System Update" but it flashes the logo. What I mean by that is the screen is black for about 10 seconds and then the logo and text just pop up for a second and back to the black screen. I did leave it alone for hours to see if maybe it updated or something but still nothing.
This is what pops up = imgur(dot)com/u6qOC6c

Is my phone bricked? Is there anyway to fix this issue?
Thanks.
Calm down, phones brick all the time. And yours isn't bricked. Anyway, put it in download mode and than flash a stock ROM back.
Than do all the process for installing Cyanogenmod again with a clean install. Good luck!
Ok, so one night I was using my phone normally (Browsing. Watching YouTube, Playing Games) like everyone else does. Then all of a sudden it shuts off, but immediately turns on again without me pressing a button. (So basically it suddenly auto restarts on its own) This occured maybe 2-4 times (all in one night) until one time, it shuts off but doesn't turn on again (basically an automatic shutdown), so I tried turning it on again (Power button), then I got shocked because all of a sudden it enters a boot loop (Screen displaying this sequence : Samsung Galaxy S4 screen, my carrier logo screen, The encrypted screen (where you have to enter your encryption password) then again the Samsung logo but this time with the colors splashing from the background, then it shuts off again.) Sometimes after the boot loop sequence, it vibrates but never turns on again, sometimes it just turns off after the sequence. And as I try and try to get away from the boot loop, the sequence became shorter. So I'm guessing it's a battery problem, BUT my battery isn't bloated or deformed. I tried clearing the cache first, again the sequence got shorter (never going up to the carrier logo screen), then I tried formatting the data, still to no avail. Now, when I turn it on, It shows the Samsung logo screen for 2 seconds and shuts down.
I tried flashing it with ODIN thru Download mode BUT (HERE'S where another problem occured) :
My phone never get pass on the system.img.ext4 dialogue and my screen just goes blank. But ODIN still recognizes my phone. And when I remove the USB cable, ODIN says FAIL.
I'm sure the cable is working. I downloaded the firmware for my carrier (Tre 3).
What could be the real problem here?
Here is the description of my device :
Samsung Galaxy GT-I9505
Bought from Italy, Tre 3 carrier
Can I download a different region/carrier for my I9505 phone?
Advanced thanks for anyone who comments and I'm very sorry for my English. Thanks!
I would install TWRP recovery, boot to it, and use it to format data, which will remove the encryption. Then I would either push a rom to the phone via recovery or try to reinstall the stock firmware with Odin. Make sure that you run Odin as admin as well. The firmware must be the same version or newer. If you still have the stock recovery and can boot to it, then I think the build number of the currently installed firmware will be visible there. You should be able to use that to Google the correct version you need.
Hey it's me. Just posting a quick reply.
Thanks for replying to my post. Yesterday I successfully flash a rom to my GT-I9505 (Version 5.0.1 Italy HUI 3G). However it still didn't boot up. At first try it booted up to the first setup screen then just randomly shuts down. Then as I try to boot it up again, It just shuts down after the first Samsung logo (with the GT-I9505 logo), I can't boot into recovery cause it shuts down. I'm sure it's not a battery issue cause when I boot into download mode, it can stay in that screen for like 10 minutes. What could be the issue? I'm planning to disassemble my S4 sooner to see if something's wrong inside. Thanks again for the reply
Hi guys,
first of all thank you for taking your time and reading through this. I'm not completely new to android, nor using fastboot and recovery. I flashed a few phones over the past years I even resurrected bricked ones. However I have no idea what is happening to my Honor 8. One thing to mention, it's the latest Nougat update, and a STOCK ROM.
It all started this afternoon. The phone suddenly reboot while using it. After that, the android screen came on, then Honor animation and.. freeze. Completely. I had to reboot using the long press method since it was stuck between the bootloader and the rom itself. It started up ok after that.
An hour passed, and while I was typing a message, it froze again. I could go back to home but the phone was really slow. After opening up Messenger again, it froze completely. Had to restart again with the long-press reboot method. It started up ok, entered the sim pin and upon entering the screenlock code it froze again, completely. Long-press reboot, again.
Since then, the phone won't boot. It gets stuck every time on "Honor powered by Android" for about a minute, then it reboots itself. I even got some weird green screen with a blue and a red rectangle, but that just stopped after a few reboots.
I mentioned that I know how to recover and fix stuff when something acts weirdly, but that's not the case, I can't do ANYTHING. No fastboot, no recovery, no button combinations, I can't even turn off the phone. It just keeps rebooting on and on, and yes, the battery will eventually die, but I have no access to any recovery options. I even tried dload but no luck.
It's still under warranty so I can send it back but I just rather fix it at home (without taking it apart), because I don't want to wait 3 weeks to get fixed. But it seems like that is the only option right now, I have never ever seen anything like this happen.
Any help or comment is appreciated. Even if it's not possible to do it at home (hardware issues?), I am really curious what can be the cause of this issue (damaged rom, filesystem permission issues?).
Thanks.
