Hello guys,
I've got a big problem with my I9300 and therefore I would like to ask here for any help. (If I'm in the wrong section, please move the thread to a correct one)
I had installed the Resurrection Remix ROM, v5.2.6. from 30.12.2014 and Googy-Max 2 recovery (CWM based) on my phone. I was using it for days and all worked fine.
One day I turned the phone off and I wanted to restart it. But it never restarted again; it ends up in a boot loop. It shows me the white Samsung Boot-Logo for some seconds, then a total black screen and the same thing repeats in a loop.
So I wanted to get into the recovery for wiping etc. but I couldn’t access the recovery. Nothing happens by pressing the relevant buttons. The device is still hanging in the boot loop. So I wanted to flash via Odin, but this isn't possible. I also can't go into the download mode. After pressing the relevant buttons, the green warning screen appears, which asks me if I really want to go to the download mode. But when I press volume up for "continue" or even if I don't press anything, the phone turns off and the boot loop with the white Samsung Logo starts again.
Therefore I ordered a USB JIG for forcing the device to go into download mode. When I plug the USB JIG in, the device actually goes into download mode but this status holds on only for a few seconds. After accessing download mode through the JIG, after a few seconds the phone turns off, restarts, (and because the JIG is still plugged in) the download mode appears again and it ends in a loop.
At first I thought maybe the power button is sticking and therefore the device turns on and off autonomous. But definitively I can negate it, because I opened the phone and removed the power button and nothing changed. Also by pressing the power button on the mainboard I can clearly hear the "click".
So I started a new attempt. Although the time, in which the device stays in download mode before turning off, is very short (only a few seconds), I tried flashing an other recovery, namely TWRP v2.8.3.0. So I prepared ODIN, plugged the JIG into the device, by appearing the download mode I switched cables and an other person clicked start at ODIN and it worked. So now TWRP is installed. Now I also can't get into recovery but after flashing TWRP there exist two little differences. First, after pressing the relevant buttons, TWRP appears for less than 1 second until the phone turns off. Secondly, when I plug the device in for charging, the Samsung charging logo appears for some seconds, then for less than 1 second appears a charging logo from Lollipop and the device ends up in a loop by displaying alternately the two different charging logos. Before flashing TWRP, the device booted in a boot loop (as I wrote above) by plugging it in for charging.
So the main question: how can I get my device work again
I tried telling you all details so that you have a better view of the problem.
Maybe I should flash a fully (stock) rom, but as I told you the download mode appears only for a few seconds. Flashing a recovery was possible, because the recovery file is very small - 7 MB. A full rom is much bigger and I think by flashing a complete rom, the device would turn off while Odin is flashing, therefore I ask first here for any assistance.
Thank you very much in advance!

Check and make sure that your volume buttons and home button are not stuck also. If they are not, I would suggest a visit to a repair shop as your EMMC chip might be weak already.

Your power button is failing, stuck in 'pressed' position. Try pressing repeatedly power button for several seconds, then release it completely. It shall bring it back to life. Visit your local service, or prepare tin, heat gun and soldering pistol. One button cost $0.2, they are selling them on eBay in sets of three (and 10, and 100....).
Happened to me some time ago, and video on youtube helped me to dismantle my phone, pull broken button out of it, and change it for new.
My phone was cycling like yours.

As said your emmc chip maybe failing.
The dead boot thread maybe of interest to you.

He said he has tested this and can also hear the micro-switch clicking.

Thank you very much for helping! :good:
So the question is, whether it's the power button's or emmc's fault...
I did a little searching and found this video. I've got exactly the same problem like the guy. At 1:06 following the boot loop, at 1:34 following the problem with downlod mode.
Although he thinks it's caused to the sudden death problem, but at least in my case I think it's wrong because months ago I did the eMMC Brickbug Check.
Also I noticed a probably important detail. When I put the battery in the phone, it automatically turns on without pressing the power button like in 1:04-1:09 in the video. Which normal working phone turns itself on by simply putting in the battery...?
So it must get a command for turning on - (possibly through a defect power button?)
@Virnik0, do you remember, if you could hear the micro-switch clicking on your phone before replacing the button on the mainboard?

Your power button is faulty, replace it before you try fixing anything else.
Thank you very, very much for helping! :good: :good: :good:
Truly the power button was fault although you could hear clearly the "click".
I unsoldered and removed the power module and (by startig with JIG and rebooting via ADB) the phone works as it should. :victory:
Now I'm trying to solder a new power button......it's a bit tricky
Again, thank you very much guys!
I had the same problem, pressed the button many times, and it helped. Thank you for your suggestions
Hello.
last night i was trying to flash miui 8 on my device via twrp but it takes too long so the batery died, thats because i was using otg.
now my phone wont charge and wont turned on, no vibration, no edl, no fastboot, just blank screen.
but when i connect it to PC mi flash detects com 10, so i flashed twrp and succeded, but my device still wont turned on, i tried flashing official ROMS for redmi 3 pro, but failed, it said error in hello packet or something, sometime the error change to ping via firehouse failed.
anyone has a solution? i really appreciated it.
Thanks.
Edit: I've found the solution.
1. go into EDL mode by pressing Power vol+ vol-
2. use miphone 20151028, don't use recent mi flash
3. Flash TWRP
4. Proceed to flash ROM (in my case i use RR Os) via TWRP
bricked after battery change
Hello,
I had obviously a battery problem. So I ordered one from ebay and I replaced it. The new battery seem to work, however the phone will not respond to the buttons. Not any buttons. Only if I plug in a cable, mi logo appears for a few seconds and then a big battery bar shows for a few more seconds. Then nothing. (If I put in the old battery and I plug in a cable, the reaction is the same BUT no battery bar appears). Any help? Thanks, Filip.
Hi everyone,
Looking for some help on my phone which is the only one I have unfortunately
So basically the Honor 9 is showing only the logo then just a black screen. One time it vibrated afterwards when pressing the volume buttons and made the camera sound. So it seems it might have booted but nothing is showing?
Phone did fall before, but worked afterwards.
I cannot access Emui recovery (when pressing volume up+power, it just shows the logo and black screen), but I can access fastboot.
If I plug it to charge, it shows the charging logo fine.
Bootloader is not unlocked. Nothing custom has been installed.
I already tried Hisuite recovery mode, but it said the device is not supported.
Any advice on what I could try? I searched the forums but couldn't figure out what to do. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

Hello.
I know it is close to a year now, but just in case there is someone else out there looking to solve something like this. Just make sure to have a wifi connection through which you can download your firmware and recovery through the eRecovery panel. The downloads should be around a total of 4GB, so bear that in mind.
When you are set with your wifi access do the following (feedback will be appreciated):
- plug your phone to your computer and hold down the vol up + power button to boot into eRecovery
- in the eRecovery panel, choose to download firmware and recovery and it will launch a wifi connection
- connect to your wifi
- download the firmware and recovery accordingly
- once completed, you can proceed to update/upgrade (basically to install) it via the eRecovery
- once the upgrade/update/installations are complete, you can reboot.
- just know that everything on your device will be lost - full system and sdcard wipe will be made.
I hope you find the above helpful for you.
