Well, I was replacing a broken lcd screen. (This was not my first screen replacment. Fixing phones for friends and family it's kind of a hobby of mine. )
I turned on the phone and it didn't boot. I got erecovery screen. Tapped to download and update. It found wifi, but it couldn't find necessary file on-line. So I started to google... And in the sea of useless advices I found something I could try. So I installed kirin on the device. Now download and update worked. The device went to reboot after the update and stuck on bootloop. It turnes on, show Huawei logo, and then vibrates shortly (like when you turn on the device). Then the screen goes black, after a while it shows logo, and then vibrates shortly, goes black and so on...
Now, I can still access erecovery and download and update, but it doesn't help. I can also access fastboot.
Also, I have to mention that I'm not that good with software as I am with hardware. And also english isn't my native language so be gentle about that...
So any ideas how to fix this?

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 all,
To get right to the point, my phone doesn't switch on, and I cannot get into recovery/download mode.
The story:
After my apps kept on crashing for no reason, I restarted the phone. After the restart, when it asked my pin, the google app kept on crashing and the phone completely froze up.
Here is where I suspect I made a HUGE mistake. I Took out the battery and started up the phone again. It immediately told me that the system is corrupt and "cannot be trusted".
I continue the boot process, only to land in a boot loop. I take out the battery once again and restart the phone.
After displaying the LG logo, it just turned off. And that was the last time I could get it on.
I tried booting into recovery, but the phone won't even switch on to begin with.
Absolutely no response. Screen stays pitch black.
I tried doing it with the USB cable in, same result. Nothing.
I also read up on the different combinations to get into download mode to no avail.
Stock ROM and firmware installed, no mods whatsoever.
Android 8.0
Can anyone please suggest anything I can do to save my device?
I am trying to get a Huawei Y6 2015 (I believe the model is SCL-L04) to work again. When it was given to me, the phone would power on, display the Huawei logo for a few seconds, then the screen would shut off and the notification LED would turn solid blue. Nothing else would happen. I just flashed a new stock ROM onto it via SD, and now it is simply boot looping - it comes on, shows the Huawei logo for a few seconds, but instead of the blue LED, it simply repeats the cycle over and over again. The phone died randomly while in use for no apparent reason - it just shut off, then the LED went blue, and that's the last that was heard of it. It is able to enter fast boot mode, and recovery mode. I have tried factory resetting it, as well as clearing the cache partition, but neither of those worked. HiSuite does not detect the phone when it is in fast boot mode, but my computer does detect it as removable media and allow me to view its files.
Any suggestions? At this point, I'm beginning to suspect hardware failure. Thanks!
Hey Community,
i´ve got some problems after i tried to fix my Galaxy S5 (SM-G901F). One day i accidentally dropped my phone and purple spots started to show up on my screen until eventually all of it was covered and the phone was therefore unuseable. So i thought my screen was the issue, which is why i bought a third-party screen. After i installed the screen i tried to boot up my phone, which is when i first started to notice the problem.
My phone won´t boot. It´ll show the screen, which says "Samsung Galaxy S5/ Powered by Android), but then it just goes black for a few seconds and then it starts all over again. So i thought it would help to wipe the cache by going into recovery mode, but it turned out that i have no access to the recovery mode, whereas i still have access to the download mode. I tried to flash a new recovery using odin, but the problem stays the same.
Then i had the idea, that the logic board might have a problem, which is why i bought a new logic board. After i installed it i tried to boot the phone up, but then the same problem appeared as i described above. This time i didn´t even have any access to the recovery and the download mode.
I would appreciate any help i could get.
Please contact me if you have any further questions.

So my mom and I have the same phone, a Huawei P Smart 2019 pot-lx1.
The problem
The phone started doing a boot loop anytime you try to turn it on.
It vibrates and shows the Huawei logo like normal, but after the logo the screen turns dark (not off, just dark, the backlight seems to still be on).
Sometimes after this black screen, a 'recharging' icon is visible in red for a brief moment. It's a red circle with a red lightning symbol in the middle.
It does this regardless of whether it's plugged in or not.
I have no idea what this means because as far as I'm aware, the device can function fine without power (see further down below).
After this black screen or flashing the red recharging icon, it just reboots and does the same.
What I tried
The phone refuses to open Erecovery mode (hold volume up and plug in the device). I have confirmed that this method -should- work since I tried it on my own phone of the same model. In the case of my mom's phone it just shows a black screen like normal.
I can get the phone into fastboot, which is great. It tells you to open HiSuite on your computer, which I do, only for HiSuite to tell me "Your device is not supported for system recovery". Furthermore, any commands that could help me return 'Command not allowed', this is returned from the bootloader of the phone and is NOT an OS permissions issue. I've tried stuff like booting into TWRP or wiping userdata this way but it's simply not allowed.
Regarding the battery, I've tried unplugging the phone while it's in fastboot mode. It just stays on like expected and doesn't turn off, so I don't think the battery has no charge.
From what I gather online, the phone has an FRP lock which prevents you from doing anything that could result in the phone getting a reset. FRP can supposedly be disabled, I've tried dc-unlocker but it simply didn't work, presumably the phone is 'too new' because it wasn't in the model list. (I used detection & then the blue nuke option that said Temp FRP unlock or something like that). There are sites that offer FRP unlock passwords which can be used with 'fastboot oem frp-unlock XXX' but I REALLY don't trust these sites and the prices are expensive.
USB debugging is not enabled and I cannot possibly enable it because the phone will never boot, hence I cannot hop into adb and disable FRP that way or do anything else that adb could. I'm essentially stuck.
I also tried some random things like holding volume up + volume down + power during boot. I have also tried countless times to get into erecovery but it simply will never get to that point.
I also tried downloading the phone's firmware and putting all the files where the UPDATE.app is also located in the 'dload' folder on an SD. I also tried putting an 'update.zip' in the root, but this didn't do anything and I think it's pointless unless you can boot into erecovery.
My mom and dad suspect they damaged something related to charging the phone, either the pins or something inside the device by inserting the charger agressively, is that possible at all? It could explain the red charging icon regardless of battery status, but I'm really not sure.
Same problem!
Hi I have the exact same problem with my huawei. Could you able to solve your problem? If so, could you tell me how?
Thank you in advance.
