Hi! everyone...
I brought a galaxy note 20 (SM-N981B/DS) and since that my wi-fi keeps turn off by itself.
I tried:
disable the switch network data
reset factory and reset network settings
refresh wi-fi version at *#2663#
I did the flash of stock ROM with Odin
my final attempt will be flash the kernel, but I'm stuck to flash the unofficially TWRP (fail at flash on Odin)
anyone have a suggestion more?
obs. i don't believe at a hardware fail because it still on about five minutes after reboot and blink between on off too many times untill stuck off and i cant turn on again, so i think this is a software problem...
any bixby routine enabled?
Is WiFi power saving mode enabled in the advanced WiFi settings? This will turn wifi off when screen is off or when data is idle

Connect to your wifi, click on the settings button on the right side where the network name is displayed... click on advanced... click on MAC address type and choose "Phone MAC".

Hi,
My son took the player to a sleep over and just called me with a question. He turned the player on, left it for a couple of minutes, came back to an update screen with android and papers flying, with a message "Downloading to target."
It's the player's first time on his friend's wi-fi network which doesn't have a password.
1. Has anyone experienced this message before?
2. Any idea what's updating?
3. Will the player automatically connect to a new wi-fi network (that doesn't have security) without prompting?
Thanks
"Downloading to target"?
Are you sure it wasn't a big "under construction" triangle sign with:
"Downloading...
Do not turn off Target!!!"
If it was that, he somehow entered download mode... It should be difficult to enter this accidentally...
It will not automatically connect to an insecure network without prompting, unless the network shares the same name as one you've connected to before.
He must have accidentally got into download mode by pressing power + volumeUp. No big deal, just tell him to hold the power button until the device turns off and turn on again. Downloading mode is used when you want to flash a ROM to your device using ODIN.
Hope i helped!

Yeah, if you accidentally enter download mode, but you did NOT start ANY flashing operations, it's safe to exit with a long-press of power.
Hello guys,
I have an Xperia active rooted with ICS (sony official) and it just died. I got a phone call and before I even answer it the phone crashed and was unresponsive. I removed the battery and from that point on it doesn't boot. I just get a vibration and then nothing. It needs to remove the batter again in order to shut down.
Some things that might help
1) No response or led light when plugged into PC or wall charger
2) Can get to Fastboot and Flashmode
3) I tried flashing again ICS and 2.3.4 but still nothing. The flash finishes OK but I the phone doesn't turn on.
4) When tried flashing with Wipe Data option enabled I always get the Abort Flashing error.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Yes it's unlocked. I tried your suggestion by installing this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398910 and then the official ICS image but still the same thing. It vibrates when turned on and stays there .

Could it be battery related? You cannot enter clockworkmod, when you have flashed for example rage or x-kernel?

If it was batter then it shouldn't turn on at least when plugged into the charger? Also once I hit power button and vibrates then it stays there, it doesn't shutdown. If I press the button again it does nothing until I remove and put back the battery. I believe this is an indication that it's not battery. Also the first time when crashed when I was pressing the power button the bottom buttons (return home and menu) were turning on (not anymore though since it seems that doesn't boot at all)
I tried booting to clockworkmod but no luck . Just to make sure, how do I do it in Xperia Active? If I remember correctly I have to press the volume down button several times until it gets into to he recovery mode, right?
Yes, you are right. Try to relock your bootloader.

How can I relock the bootloader? What if the solution is to have an unlocked bootloader? Can I unlock it again since the phone is not responsive now?
Sorry for two many questions. I started really worrying about losing the phone now .
I just noticed that for rage kernel I have to wait for the blue light to turn on and then press volume down. I do this but still nothing. I started suspecting that might be a screen problem. Can someone give me the sequence to restart phone or turn off from the recovery mode? If this work and it means it's my screen I guess.
Maybe it has something to do with bootloader. I bet it can be relocked, you just have to search a tutorial. I would try it, you have nothing to lose now.

You can't turn off from cwm, just pull battery. Maybe screen is dead, so background screen. You could try logcat to see what happens.
So the blue light appear, but screen doesn't come up? So it's related to the screen I think.
If you flash sony stock rom for your device you should be able to relock bootloader, just search in the forum for solutions...

OK thank you guys. I will try to relock the bootloader and see how it goes. BTW when I tried to use SUS I got a message that a modified image (or something) was detected. Is this due to the unlocked bootloader? If I lock it the SUS will also work?

It didn't die while I was experimenting with flash. It was working properly for a long time and just died after a phone call. That's the guide I used to root it and install ICS in the first place. That's of no use now since at step 3 the phone doesn't boot anymore. Blank screen.

Get into recovery mode (press voluke down with phone switched off, then connect the USB cable), and then flash a stock FTF filr using flashtool
Sent from my ST17i using xda app-developers app
Hello dumraden,
I tried your suggestion but still nothing . When press volume down and connect USB cable the led lights green and I suppose I get into flash mode. Is this correct? I am asking because you mentioned recovery mode and I am not sure if it's the same thing.
Also the screen seems to be completely black! Like it doesn't light up at all, not even a light flick.
I also tried loading the rage kernel for 2.3.4 Android and then installing the stock 2.3.4 FTF but I get the following error:
09/019/2012 06:19:19 - INFO - (X10flash.java:230) - Flashing loader

Any ideas? If I untick Wipe data it flashes just fine.
I tried the new Flashtool and didn't gave me this error (with Wipe user data ticked) but still the phone is dead.
I noticed some new symptoms on my phone.
1) When is turned on it doesn't just freeze, it stays with a black screen doing nothing and after several minutes (not always the same time) it turns off again (I call this turn on-off cycle)
2) Today after several flashes I let it rest and after a few turn on-off cycles it actually worked. It worked for couple of minutes and I was even able to make a test call to it and worked but after few minutes it got back to the previous state.
3) I noticed that this turn on-off cycle consumes a lot of battery. After symptom (2) when the phone turned on I noticed that had about 25% battery. 5-6 turn on-off cycles after that the battery was completely drained (led flashes orange when I press the power button).
4) Now the phone can be charged from the wall charger
The phone now has rage kernel for 2.3.4 Android, the official 2.3.4 android of Sony. Also I tried to relock it using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563840 and unbrick it using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1553601
I wasn't able to verify if the bootloader was indeed relocked. How can I do this with the phone off? flashtool says "Bootloader: ROOTED"
My galaxy s3 has been stuck in safe mode for two days now which is frustrating as only the stock apps can be used. I have tried different solutions, which I list below.
How it happened.
I was initially on 4.1.1 and when I woke up I saw a notification to upgrade to 4.1.2, after that it did its thing and rebooted into safe mode.
solutions tried
1. Reboot - didnt work
2. take out battery for few minutes and reboot - didnt work
3. boot into stock recovery to try to factory reset phone, Volume button not working so cant select other option apart from reboot. - didnt work
4. Download stock rom from samfirmware and flash using odin - didnt work
5. Flash CWM using odin, didnt factory reset and flashed custom rom (omega). It boots into safe mode as well
6. Downloaded stock ics firmware, flashed using odin . it boots but stuck on samsung logo.
I dont know what else to do. Although am thinking downgrade the bootloader to one meant for ICS the try to flash to ICS stock rom again, would try this later in the day.
p.s Ignore more signature I own a galaxy s3 as well.

Press the power button..

It's Volume button work fine??
The problem has nothing to do with reboot. As you can see have already mentioned reboot as part of the solutions I tried.
My device is fine with ICS firmwares but has issues with Jellybean (stock and modded rom including CM10.1). Currently am running ICS on it as thats the only way the phone works properly.
I installed 4.0.4 (XAALF2) via Odin, but it got stuck on samsung logo. Then turned it off and flashed CWM to do factory reset as the volume key doesnt work on stock recovery. After that everything worked fine. I was able to update to the latest 4.0.4 via OTA.
The problem is hardware, so you might want to contact Samsung.
I found some information about "Safe Mode".
It seems that every Android phone has a safemode.
"On Samsung’s devices, almost all users will be able to access Safe Mode with by pressing and holding the menu button during start up. If it’s a capacitive menu key, make sure to release and press again each time the LED under the key comes back on. You don’t want to miss the catch for Safe Mode because the button released itself."
Here is the link where i get the information: http://www.tested.com/tech/android/...ds-safe-mode-to-save-a-phone-from-boot-loops/
You can try it this way, maybe it will work.
Good luck.

I think u missing the point, the phone works fine with 4.0.4 firrmwares, it only get stuck in safe mode when updated to Jellybean 4.1.1 and above. No amount of key combination, factory reset or even custom rom was able to fix the safe boot.
The best option is to send it back to samsung, its definitely hardware issue.

i did a reboot and it removed the safe mode :good:
My personal experience, i overclocked my SGS3 with Boeffla kernel on ARHD then i got freeze screen and phone reebot into safe mode, I entered into recovery and reebot then everithing was fine again.
Safe mode occurs when something in the phone is not working properly , could be hardware or software, however, stuck on it is not a good signal.
my advice is to send the device to service.
Do not forget to reset flash counter via Triangle Away and flash stock factory firmware.
Good Luck! :good:
note 3 stuck in save mode window
This problem occurs after changing to a new simcard not already installed before in the device.
1. Power off the galaxy note 3.
2. Remove the micro simcard from the slot by sliding.
3. Power on the device without the simcard.
4. It will run in a normal mode, if so, this will actually diagnosed that there is a simcard defined by the administrator as default. In the security setting in setting menu and for protection against theft, the original simcard must be insert to unlock this choice of detection of any change in new simcard. New simcard is defined as strange and theft suspected.
I hope this make you reach some solution for your trouble.

Same issue here, it is hardware
I went through a lot of threads and not one had a solution. So I will post here what worked for me.
Customer came to my store with Galaxy S3 (SPH-L710T) that was stuck in safe mode. I tried everything on this thread, nothing worked. Luckily I had a older Galaxy S3 (SPH-L710) with a broken screen, so I switched over the motherboard from the customer's phone to the old one - I did connect the customer's original LCD to the motherboard since my old phone had its LCD broken. Powered it on, no safe mode.
So at this point I just transferred the volume buttons flex cable to the customer's phone. Powered it on, no safe mode again.
Hope it helps someone!
I am running a custom rom,I am facing some problems with my device
I am not able to use my default lock screen.I have tried swipe and pattern and pin loc options.But nothing really locks my device.Anybody can open the device.
Second problem I am having is with Power button.If I pressed it morethan 2 seconds instead of showing me the power options,it directly shutdowns the phone
Thired one is with the factory mode.After the restart a flash message comes and says Factory mode is enabled.Then it turns off the WiFi.
Why these problems occure and how to solve it??
I tried many ROMs, but still these problems are there

My friend was on a call on his Samsung S6 Edge SM-G925I which restarted during the call and has been stuck on the black screen after the logo appears and the LED light has been blinking and changing colors. I have already gone through a lot of forums and conducted the following steps but nothing has helped so far:-
1) Tried to boot in safe mode - Didn't work
2) Tried to clear cache and restart - Didn't work
3) Did a factory reset by holding the power+volume up+home button and selecting the option on the screen - Did not work
4) Also, connected the phone with smartswitch and used the emergency software and initialization option but that did not work either.
Please what else can I do to fix this. Need help urgently.
