If the phone is still under waranty, you should send it in for repair.
If it is out of waranty, try factory resetting and clearing cache from stock recovery by holding vol+ and vol- while the phone is off, and press the power button until the phone turns on. then only let go of the power button. If you see a recovery menu, you will want to factory wipe and clear the cache. Make sure your battery is charged first.
(EDIT: forgot to mention that vol+ and vol- are up and down in recovery, and power is enter)
Let the phone reboot and let it sit for 10 minutes to build it's initial cache entries.
If that doesn't help, let us know
He already went to tmobile and did the factoy reset and no result. The samsung warranty is on vacation for two weeks and then wait for them to repair it so he came to me because i got my inspire rooted he thought that i could help him but i dont know what else to do.

Did what I say work, or not?
Nope i think its better to get it replace by samsung so he will wait. Thx by the way.
Try flashin a rom via odin. It should be able to be put in download mode.

I plugged in my device and Kies said there was a firmware update. I let it go through it's paces and upon reboot, it just sits at a pulsating samsung logo.
I've tried reflashing a stock GB image using Odin. Even tried an ICS one. All of them result in the same pulsating samsung logo going nowhere.
What steps can I take from here?
Power + Vol Up
Select Wipe/Factory Reset
Cross your fingers...
Good Luck
I couldn't get recovery to come up before. But it did this time . Anyway, we're back in business. ICS is fantastic on this!
Hi people, I update my tab7+ 6210 to ICS everything was fine, but sometimes I got random reboots and today it suddenly turn off, I tried to turn on but nothing happens, so I plugged into charge but show no signs of life, I tried to enter stock recovery but accidentally enter download mode, Im screwed?, please I need some guidance. Thanks.

IT boot again, Im going to try enter recovery and do the wipes.
Ok so I got stuck in a boot loop(hung up on the Samsung screen) and used the MD5 file I found here with Odin and thought it would take me back to stock as the thread suggested. Everything went fine, Odin gave me the big green pass and auto rebooted, but it's still stuck on the Samsung screen and won't boot all the way.
Now I've used Odin a few times before but Samsung devices usually are not my thing. Having flashed,rooted and modded every device I have ever owned I have never NOT been able to fix one. However, I'm at a loss as to why it's not returning to stock. I must be missing something and what I don't know.
Any help in getting me back to a functioning device would be appreciated since I just got it for Xmas.
Boot into recovery, turn off device, hold volume up and power until samsung logo appears.
wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache.
Should boot now....
You know, it would help emmensely if you told us what you flashed or linked the thread you used. Also your device model.
it is normal if you go from JB to stock ICS you need to do a complete wipe by going into stock recovery and then restart the note will boot

Thanks for confirming the button combo, I was sure that was it but couldn't get into it to save my life. Too long holding down I suppose because letting go quicker got me right there and I was able to get it out of the bl.
Thanks for the help
so i tried flashing the dev preview today from the factory image. everything flashed fine but once i booted up it never got past the boot animation, so i booted into stock recovery and wiped data/factory reset, and rebooted. Still was stuck on boot animation, so i was going to boot down to flash the 4.4.4 factory image and now it will not turn on at all. It will not turn on to the bootloader, or just turn the screen on in general. Any help would be appreciated, i would hate if this was bricked. thanks in advance
Edit: Pleas delete, idk what happened but my phone is back on and ive flashed the 4.4.4 factory image, next time ill exercise more patience

Hi, my Nexus 5 was just powered off as i clicked the power button to browse the web. I tried to boot it but it just went to multiboot and restarted after 2 seconds.
It kept restarting like it was bricked but shut off after a few times. Then i booted into bootloader but the screen went off after 2 secs. I removed the battery and put it on the charger but it just boot loops the google logo.
I am on Xtrasmooth v9.0 if you want to know but i dont think that this has any importance since my phone doesnt stay in the bootloader which has nothing to do with my rom (i think):good:
But maybe it has to do with multiboot? I have to say that my phone kept randomly restarting over the last week.

Heya, I found out that my power button was broken so i had to remove it from the board and started the device with a screw driver :victory:
I've had my S7 since March. Worked flawlessly until around 2 weeks back. The first issue I got was that the phone stopped responding. I haven't linked that to any specific application. It happened at random. So the phone freezes and screen goes black. I used the Power button + Lower Volume button to power up the phone again and it worked. But then the no response problem happened more often. So I decided to go for a factory reset. I did this using recovery. But I continued to get the freezing issue. And the last time I got it was a few hours ago. But this time when I used the power button+ down volume button, the phone got stuck in a boot loop. I managed to bring up recovery to power down the phone. When I booted into recovery, I got the a dead android logo with a yellow exclamation mark in a triangle. I tried to power up my phone back, but it again got stuck in a boot loop. I know I can resolve this situation by doing a reset again. But I suppose this is not the solution as I will continue to get the freezing and not responding problem again.
Any advice please?
Thank you.

Hi mate
after you factory reset it , did you use the phone for a while without restoring any app?..so you are sure is not an app making the mess
My first option would be flash ( odin) firmware again.....
Check his guide
Use home_csc instead of CSC so you do not lose anything
I actually didn't restore any app after reset. I rather re-installed only 2 apps I use most. And I've been using these apps since I started using my mobile. I don't think they could be responsible for the crashes.
If I have to flash, I've been wondering if I could have a go at Nougat.
Would that be a good idea?

Hi
Yes you can flash nougat, seems to be stable......but still is a Beta version
Hi
I got the same problem ... did you find any solution for this problem ??
Replacing motherboard fixes this issue. Its not software related. Faulty board. With Nougat this will happen even more. I know because happened to me..
ohhh
how much did cost you for that ?
