I've had a similiar problem when flashing and found that if I REMOVED THE SD CARD IMMEDIALTY AFTER THE FLASH IE BEFORE STARTNG TO SET UP THE PHONE SCREEN and installed nothing else but just set the phone up with my e-mail settings etc then it started working ok - worth a try

already tried it brother

If you want your phone to be reliable on your trip then don't use 6.5. Just to be safe I would flash stock rom then PDACornerUltimate V19 then hard reset. Keep all your CABs on your SD card incase you have to do a hard reset on the road. But 6.1 is more stable than any 6.5 rom

Sorry, stuck in my head, saw Houston and immediately thought "JUMP ON IT! JUMP ON IT!"
Tried different radios? Even though you went ATT Stock, try it.
You could always look up the individual settings and try it, check proxy stuff too.

Possible false alarm, it might be the retards at AT&T, I am on the phone with them now so we'll see what they did because with my sim in my g/f phone it still wont allow data use. I will post after I get off the phone, hopefully with a resolution.

don't let on that you flash custom, they'll lay the hammer down.

I'm a bit unclear on whether or not you went into start/settings to make sure everything was configured correctly but if you didn't, I just made this video it just shows how to make sure everything is configured correctly for AT&T Internet since it is fairly confusing. Hopefully this helps

Connection Settings
Make sure your connection setting has proxy turned off, if it does not then turn it off and soft reset and it should work, hope this helps!

Similar but different
I am having a problem with my microsd card also. In setting-system-memory-storage card-it says (not installed). I put it in the computer and it said currupted/not readable. Is there a way to fixed this.

What does that have to do with this guys problem? LOL this isn't even in the proper forum..

OMFG I bricked my Touch Pro, need help ASAP please!!

Okay so i updated to Energy's build 21885 for the HTC Touch Pro and everything works fine like usual, and i began to start installing my apps etc.
It all went fine until i started installing some new apps (which might be the reason why it bricked my phone), i think one of the new app i installed was nueUSBKeyboard which is for the CDMA (i didn't read it properly at the start), and my Touch Pro is a GSM, so maybe that's the reason that bricked my fone.
I still don't know what bricked it, but right now when i turn on the fone, it shows the boot information at the very start of the startup, i.e it shows:
R 1. 14. 25. 35 (which is the radio i believe)
G 52. 64c. 25 35
D 5nergy ROM
and it just gets stuck there FOREVER.
I took out my battery and memory card and nothing changes, how do i solve this?? Please help.

Okay after doing some Google & XDA searches, i found a solution which i'm trying out right now. Since my phone could get to the screen with the boot information, and that i can get into the bootloader fine, it seems i can still connect my phone and update the rom.
To get to the bootloader, you press and hold the volume down button, and then you turn on the phone while pressing it. You should get a screen showing you some information and the screen looks red, blue & green.
Then, just plugin your USB and even though it doesn't say it's syncing with your PC (because you need to in order to update the ROM), but just go ahead and update the ROM anyway, it will connect and work.
Right now it's installing and I pray to god this will fix my problem, i will post back and update this, but hopefully anyone who had this problem can give me some other advice in case this doesn't work and hopefully anyone that might have this problem can try this out for themselves. This is the first time i've had a bricked phone.
Just wondering, what are the possible ways that you can brick your phone?? I didn't update the radio or anything, and updating roms is easy and plain as hell, i do that all the time so it can't be it since nothing went wrong, like EVER, and i restarted my fone several times after updating the rom, so it must be one of the new apps i installed for my fone but those are just .cab files that are safe because i got them from XDA itself, and those are very recent released apps too and are for WM 6.5 so i dunno what might have caused it other than nueUSBKeyboard......
EDIT:
Holy crap, it worked! Damn i almost pissed in my pants, god i can't live without a fone. But i would like anyone to give me some advice on what could've bricked my fone in case this happens again, coz i really dunno wot bricked it....

A hard reset would've done the trick.

Did you guys read properly? I said my fone got bricked because it gets stuck at the booting screen.
That's the screen that shows a black background and the word "Touch Pro" in the middle, and it shows your radio & rom information at the bottom right and they're in red colour.
I.E, I'm STUCK at that screen, i can't boot into the rom at all, so how can i even use hard reset? I can't even connect my fone to PC to access the memory card, nor can i use ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Centre to sync with my device so that i can upgrade the rom, which is why i found the solution is to boot into your bootloader screen and then connect the USB, that's the only way it seems.
Edit:
Here, i took a picture showing you guys what i mean, sorry for the quality but you guys get the point, it gets stuck at that screen:

Is it fixed or not? Anyway, performing a hard reset and going into bootloader are pretty much the same thing (hold vol down + OK and soft reset). You can probably hard reset from the bootloader screen, although I've never done it myself.

do a hard reset may resolve this problem by pressing and hold volume down + center button then using stylus to press reset button, when hard reset screen is shown, press vol up button to accept hard reset, do again when done

ya guys, it's solved. I stated that in my 2nd post.....
anyway i didn't know u can hard reset from bootloader screen, now i can try that next time when this happens.

Hard Reset FTW
Hi all,
Just wanted to share that today, after a year of pleasant use on my Fuze, it 'bricked' after I disabled the performance upgrade options in TF3Dconfig and rebooted.
A quick search for "brick" in the Raphael forum led me to do a hard reset. All my texts and customizations are wiped out, but my phone is back up and running. Definitely glad I didn't just accept it as bricked, as I'm not due for an upgrade for 6ish months, and AT&T hasn't got anything for Android phones released yet, so I'd be back on my Wizard (with an english rom flashed onto a T-Mobile Germany-branded device, so funky keyboard action here).
+1 for the hard reset!

[Q] How to contact Samsung

I've wasted an hour at the Samsung website. When the chat turned out to be broken the send button didn't,t work, I tried email. After answering all the same questions, model etc, the drop down for model wouldn't work. It's a required field so again, i'm stuck. Does anyone know how to reach them?
i received a galaxy note 10.1 16 gig wi-fi only for Christmas. it was terrific until yesterday morning. I took it from my padded brief case, pressed the start button and nothing happpened. I assumed I'd left it on overnight and rrun the battery down. I just put it away until i went home to charge it. I left it on the charger for a couple of hours. When i again pressed the start buttton, still nothiing. What do i do next?

Try leaving it charging for 6+ hours. Make sure it's plugged in all the way on both ends of the usb cable.

Does anyone know a phone number? That's one thing that's not on the website.
To answer the previous question, no it won't boot into download or Recovery.
I'll try the six hour charge, but I'm not hopeful.
Stay tuned for more on ...

I found 1-800-SAMSUNG somewhere. It's seven digits I thought so, what the heck. Well a very nice woman talked me through all the trouble shooting steps I'd already tried. But, then she gave me an RMA and emailed me a shipping label. So far so good then. More to follow.

Before you write it off as dead, may I make a suggestion. Keep a finger on the touch screen while pessing the power button. This solution works for me when I've experienced the "sleep of death" after upgrading my GN 8013 to JB. Holding down the power button on mine didn't do anything. I found the solution I mentioned when I began googling in a panic. After removing one offending app, this awful sleep mode that resembles a dead device hasn't occurred again. Maybe you have an app that's triggered this. Good luck.

It was Sipdroid. (Knock on wood) deleting it has stopped my note from going into the sleep of death. Fortunately, the voip app csipsimple is very stable on JB 4.1.2 and has no audio or registreation issues so I've still got voip on my note.

Pixel 2 while powered off gets stuck on charging splash screen - won't turn on

I previously had an issue with this which was solved by re-flashing, unfortunately this isn't helping this time.
So as far as I can tell things work properly with the following exception.
When I power off the phone and leave it in to charge I get stuck on the black and white lighting battery screen. The screen stays on indefinitely. The phone will not power on except for a soft reset which then boots the phone.
For clarity this is what the phone looks like ... it just never turns the screen off.

Only other detail I have to add is that the charge screen works correctly after a flash-all. It is the process of installing twrp and then Magisk that seems to be borking the charge screen.

Did you ever find a fix for this? My Pixel 2 XL does it as well!

So this issue popped up for me when Magisk v17.0 came out and v17.1 didn't seem to fix it. Re-flashing did solve the problem but every time I tried to re-root the issue came back. Something about the latest Magisk and my flashing was causing the problem. I tried going back to earlier working versions of Magisk such as 16 and 16.5 but none of them seemed to work, whatever it was it stuck.
I finally ended up flashing the latest Pie along with the latest Magisk and that together allowed me to flash, root and solve the problem. I have not attempted to go back to Oreo.
Hope this helps.

this just happened to me. how do i fix this? I just want the thing to power up. I just got done using it. picked up phone and it was powered off.....
edit: phew. i panicked when i saw this. I just held the power button and it shut off. turned it back on and it booted up....had 2% battery. i guess it was just a low battery this time.

have the same issue too. Only happens when the phone dies after running out of juice. Hard reset reboot and boots up right back up afterwards. Also rooted with magisk 17.1

hard reset? like you lose everything? that sucks. im on 17.3 magisk.

Anyone figure this problem out? I've had this problem for a while now. It was doing this a few months ago then I reflashed magisk and it went away. I did a monthly update a month later and it came back and I've tried a factory reset...reflashing etc.. Nothing helps. It only happens if the phone dies or you power it off. I'm not using TWRP... It's a magisk manager direct install. Thanks!

I've also had this issue since I bought the phone 2nd hand last June. I don't recall if it happen before rooting or not. The only pattern(?) I have noticed is that when I let the phone die completely, theres a chance when I plug it into the charger, it might get stuck on the screen as OP showed. However, as others noted, I think holding down the power button shuts the phone completely down again. Occasionally either I'm doing something wrong or the phone doesn't register the button presses all the time. In past I also tried holding the power button and volume down at the same time but I'm assuming the phone picked it up as me just holding the power button down or maybe that combo also works.

Question Random restarts. Sometimes repeatedly.

I have random restarts on my Galaxy A32 5G (T Mobile). Running it stock. No mods at all.
Sometimes they get bad and basically boot loop the phone for a while before it stabilizes.
I am sure it's software because a factory reset fixed it for 8 days. Ran flawlessly. Then the problem came back. I have to think if it was hardware that this wouldn't have helped.
I think it's something corrupted in the stock ROM because the problem occurred when I booted to safe mode with only system files running.
Can I reflash the stock ROM in ODIN without the bootloader being unlocked? I know you can't do that if you are changing the partition. But I'm not sure if overwriting it with the same partition info counts as changing it. What about downgrading to the previous build? It's been a few years since I modded a phone. I am starting to forget the rules.
I'm open to other suggestions as well. Specifically what happens is the data connection doesn't work suddenly. Websites load to "Sorry, you are offline" errors. Then apps won't open at all. Or they force close immediately (All apps. CAn't even load settings) Then the phone shuts off (doesn't power down, just goes to black as if a thermal protection was triggered) And it reboots. Then it will repeat this process for an hour or two just boot looping and force shutting down until eventually it will boot properly and be somewhat stable for a day or two.
Any thoughts?
I tried the basic stuff. I freed up internal memory. I factory reset it. I cleared the cache is the bootloader and did the repair apps function. I uninstalled everything I could live without for a few days. The problem seems random. It's not when using a certain app. ONce in a while it'll do it just being in my pocket.
I did notice that the Opera Browser comments on Google Play have a bunch of people complaining that the apps doesn't work with their A32 phones and causes shut downs. I don't think it's the Operar Browser because I had the shut down in Safe Mode. But other people seem to be having the issue.

Start in safe mode, if runs ok it was something you installed. You are what you load...

Did that. Still got a random restart in safe mode.
I still think it's software. I just think it's a corrupted system file. Hence wanting to redo the system ROM.
I have no idea how to identify and isolate a system file in a non rooted phone.

It's possible. That's a serious problem. Is there a memory leak showing? Any resent updates?
Try a factory reset but don't load anything.

How can I check on a memory leak? I used to know how to do that on a rooted rom. But on a stock one....none of the fun apps I used to use work

Memory leaks are very rare on Androids. Never saw one. That would probably crash it though.

The real question is if I can reflash the stock rom using Odin when my bootloader is NOT unlocked.
If there is a corrupted system file that should fix it. But with the bootloader locked I don't know if trying that will brick it.
If only there was a new update coming soon that with OTA fix it...

Stock version is ok to flash... unless it powers off during the flash.
A Samsung Experience center at best buy can do reflashes and allegedly have advanced diagnostic tools.
One way corruption can occur. If it flips a critical bit of data it can cause real mischief. There is no damage however to the hardware. I keep my phone far away from any ionizing radiation sources ie X-rays, CATs etc. because of this. The energy potential is probably too low but it may occasionally be enough to cause a SEU.

I'm getting a Serious software issue detected on start up.
I reflashed the stock rom....same one I had. And the issue persists. The reboots persist.
When it gets bad no apps open. Every app will force close on launch. Then it reboots. Ussually stuck in a boot/force reboot loop for 10-15 minutes until it finally loads stable. Then it might be good for a minute. Then it'll restart the loop.
Reflashing the stock rom didn't fix it. Next I'm going to try to downgrade it to the previous build. I don't know if I can even do that with a locked bootloaded but we'll see.
