Hello community,
I haven't posted here before, so I hope I'm not doing anything wrong.
I have a problem with my Neffos X1 and after browsing the internet for hours nothing helped so far, so I hope some of you can help me out.
My phone is stuck in a bootloop since yesterday evening. I haven't done any updates or new installations recently, so it just happened out of the blue. It loads till the Neffos logo and then restarts over and over again.
Since I can't take the battery out, I tried letting it run out of energy and then restart, but as soon as I connect it to a power source the bootloop will start again.
I read a lot about getting it in recovery mode or to try and flash it, but no matter what combination of buttons I try, nothing is happening. The phone basically doesn't react to anything and just keeps restarting. The only thing I noticed is, that when pushing both volume keys the screen will just stay black (no restarting), but after letting go the bootloop will start again.
I tried flashing it via SP Flash Tools, but the phone also doesn't react to it.
Lots of troubleshooting guides also require, that I have rooted my phone in the past, unfortunatly I haven't. I also read about unlocking the bootloader, but since my phone isn't reacting to any buttons and my laptop also doesn't seem to recognize my phone (probably because it doesn't boot proberly), that doesn't seem like a solution either.
To summarize: I'm stuck in a bootloop with no recovery mode, no rooting, no unlocking bootloader, probably can only use my laptop to do anything remotely.
So, is there anything you can think of, that might help me get out of the bootloop? Or ideas of what I may did wrong when trying the other solutions?
Thanks for any help in advance.
Same problem
I have the same problem, I have tried all kinds of soft reset and nothing is working I also opened the phone to check if anything was not connected properly, but everything seems fine except for that infinite loop. Please help!

Try this
Download phone's Stock Firmware onto your personal computer.
Install the USB MTK Drivers - NOT ANY OTHERS (skip if you have them already installed).
Download and Launch the Smart Phone Flash Tool (SP Flash Tool)
Click the Scatter-loading button to navigate to the Stock Rom you just downloaded.
Select the Scatter File from the extracted Stock Firmware on your computer.
Select the Download Only in the SP flash tool option
Click the Download button to start the Formating process.
Connect your phone via USB to the computer>> holding volume + and volume – button of your phone at the same time or holding power button only so that the flashing process will starting working
Patiently wait for your device to be formatted.
After the formatting is done, a Big Green button will pop up on the SP Flash to show that.
Unplug phone and boot it up.
If you have a boot loop after booting your device, boot into recovery mode and do a factory reset.
Voila, you are all good.

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..
Hey all,
In an attempt to load the custom ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658343 I kinda broke the phone.
Part of the steps is to flash the custom Recovery screen.
In the steps you use the Scatter file that's provided and load that up with the SP FlashTool.
Problem though is that I started to get the error SP FLASH TOOL ERROR : (8038).
I then read that by using MTK Droid Root & Tools, I could create a new Scatter file that would fix the error...
Created the new scatter file and then when I loaded it, I got the Big Green Circle saying everything was cool.
Rebooted the phone and it wouldn't come back on.
Crap.
Tried loading into the Recovery screen using the volume and power button, but nothing shows up on the screen.
Tried plugging it into my Win7 and WinXP computers but neither recognize the device and nothing shows up on the screen to say that it's charging.
Is this phone completely gone or is there something that can be done?
Old thread but somehow connected brand new experience to be documented:
What I just experienced was, after a cancelled attempt of flashing recovery, the phone was off and didn't go back on. I tried fiddling with the buttons and assumed it was bricked. Fortunately I didn't give up too soon. It was only after pressing the on button for a very extended time (>30secs?) that it came back to life. It didn't boot further than Wiko logo, but the key reactions were back to normal concerning reboot, booting recovery and cold start.
Hi there! I'm a stupid-stupid person. I was trying to get Lollipop faster, so I tried to flash lollipop on my phone.
I managed to root it, but haven't done any backup, except for media and contacts.
I'll try to explain what I've done.
So I rooted the phone, entered the download mode and then I tried to flash it using LG Flash Tool 2014.
When in download mode, it was stuck at 0%, so I didn't wait to go ahead, I tried to flash it.
Now, the flash failed several times. The phone was alright then.
Further, I tried again and at some point something happened, it got to two percent, it wrote COM4 and then it failed. It might have been my antivirus that stopped the process, I'm not sure.
Well, now I have a useless phone. It keeps showing the LG logo.
The hard reset doesn't work, it's not recognized in Device manager, and it doesn't work download mode.
When I try to power it off it does so only after a long press. At first, when the screen goes black, if I release the power switch, then it will reboot again. If I press it long enough, the phone will power off.
I'm desperate, of course.
The phone was running Kitkat.
Helloooo,
I have a big problem, cant get my phone running again.
The sad thing is, I just got it 4 hours ago
So heres what I have done to my Phone:
I rooted it with Kingo-Root and then installed a app where TWRP was listed, there also was CWM and stuff and I thought I have to flash my phone there with TWRP to install a new ROM and stuff and I clicked there on flash.
Then it asked me if I want to restart in, I cant remember recovery and/or download mode, I clicked yes and from there the trouble began.
When it starts the Coolpad Logo appears, then it say "Download and install the package?", to confirm volume up, to abort volume down. If I press abort, it just goes off, the restart may leads to the battery charging screen ( usb cable is always connected!!), if I press volume up, it says "Information - Do not disconnect data cable", but it says it for forever, nothing happens.
If data cable isnt connected, it shows Logo and then goes off, doesnt do anything.
I wish I would have never done that, Im too stupid for stuff like that.
Can someone help me out?
Hopefully
Hi are you able to enter in TWRP recovery in orden to try to flash him back to stock rom ?
Sadly no
I read some stuff on the internet, and tried it:
I installed andoid studio on my PC, with all that drivers, connected the Phone to my PC and looked it up in the device manager.
Before it was just recognized as "Other devices - Android" without any information, now I had the Hardware ID and put that into the setup text of Google drivers and installed them.
My PC somekind recognizes the phone. (but not like normally)
Maybe i can get the Stock Rom to phone that way somehow?
Edit: its called adb interface in device manager
Now I tried to set up the stock-rom via YGDP, and well, it kinda worked.
Im now out of this mode.
If I start the phone it makes its starting sound and it response to "key"-presses by vibrating, but, no screen, its just pitch black.
Its not listed in device-manager anymore.
Any suggestions?
bad support.

That is probably because you flash incompatible firmware which does not recognize display of your device .
Search on the internet for another genuine rom and repeat flashing process .
I had alsmost same issue when I flashed Blu Studio D572i with rom of D572a as I remember , was black screan completely but buttons are working (showing light) .
Hello,i got a huawei y6 2017 MYA-L11 model, i unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp, i made a backup of my stock rom and then wiped to install some custom roms.But now my phone is not working, everytime i start the phone it goes only to twrp even when i restore.I see that the backup exist in internal storage (contains system,data and boot) and says the restore was successful but the device boots always in twrp menu.Please help.
Any help guys?It doesnt seem so difficult problem for the level of this forum.
Try resetting the phone by pressing up volume button when on warning screen to get to erecovery. Use the option to shut down phone. Then try starting the phone again after a minute or two.
BTW what rom were you trying to install?
I tried every possible combination in the warning screen the only place i can go is twrp.I tried to install aokp,lineage 14.1, slim7, xeonHD nothing worked.
Where did you get those roms, I don't think they are for the y6 2017!
Anyway try pressing and holding the volume up button when at warning screen until the phone turns off. It will come back on and go to erecovery after the warning screen.
If that doesn't help then get SPFlashtool and stock rom and flash it.
I didnt know that y6 and y6 2017 was different.When i hold volume up the warning screen keeps repeating like forever and the phone doesnt go off.
Do i need spflashtool,can i do it from twrp install?
Anyway thanks for the help,it seems this phone cant take any custom roms,i should had bought a sumsung,can you suggest me some brands/devices that can be easily rooted/twrped with much custom roms in low range price.
We all make mistakes.
You will be able to fix it with the spflashtool if you download the rom.
Just have a look on here for an alternate device, I wouldn't know off hand which would be a good buy.
Tip: Read, read and then read some more before attempting anything with your phone!
Problem, the phone cant stay off when the usb is connected to the pc or electricity,when i press power off it reboots to warning screen and twrp,if it is closed when i plug the usb it starts into twrp all the time.
When i put the scatter file and press download this error appears
ERROR:S_COM_PORT_OPEN_FAIL(1013)
[COM]Failed to open COM port.
I m on linux
Use this tut to set up for linux.
You will just have to time plugging in the usb cable., I managed it so I know it can be done!
