Keeps booting!

Hi,
Today i've f***ed up my phone -.- . I was trying to install a custom rom when it simply whent black. Now, when i turn it on, it goes to the main boot logo and then it reboots and so on. I cant acess do recovery or download mod. Its a samsung galaxy s.

What was the ROM you were trying to flash?
Have you taken the battery out, put it back in again, and tried to boot into Recovery from there?

Boot Problems

My sister said she spilled a little water on the screen of her phone the other day and it started boot looping.
Ive been trying to reflash it, but there are some issues...
If the phone is plugged in, it will cycle the charging battery on and off... unable to get into download or recovery.
If its not, it used to show the galaxy boot screen and turn on and off... now it just stays frozen on that screen. In either instance i was unable to get into recovery or download mode.
I got into recovery a couple of times when it actually booted the ROM, but everytime i would use the power button to try to make a selection the phone would just reboot and go into a cycle again.
I also got it into download mode once through the ROM but it cant get the ROM to boot anymore...
I might be able to get it into recovery but when i do it just reboots when i select anything.
and help would be awesome
thanks.
OH, when i actually got the ROM to boot it would throw an array of system errors and force closes. I also think the water had nothing to do with it and something she did after the water is what started causing the problems
I got recovery and i flashed a new kernal and ROM and erased everything and its still freezing at first Galaxy boot screen.
probably because the phone is water damaged?
See if the guide in the second link of my signature will help.
Thanks ill give it a shot.
But a major problem is that i am unable to get it to boot into download mode.
So i got CWM to boot, and i reflashed the kernal and ROM, with no luck.
CWM read catch error. Unable to mount... format... ect...
From what ive been reading the internal catch is fried....
Anyone have a motherboard they want to ship me? LOL :laugh:
Thanks lumin30, I finally found a way to get the phone into download mode. (take the battery out, Put it back in, hold buttons, plug USB in, press power button) after a few reboots it would finally go.
I followed the link and got it back to stock and it booted. Now letting it sit to settle in and hopefully it will be functional again.
This thread can be deleted! :good:

Stuck on boot loop

This is me story, flashed a OTA to my cel and all the sudden my phone reboots loads up to the Oneplus logo and then nothing... Boot loop, so trying not to worry that much, noticed I could still boot to fastboot, I tried flashing CM11 praying that would get my phone back... Boot loop, Flashed CM12 and I got a low battery message boot loop, then going back to fastboot just got me a qualcomm brick, used the Color Os fix... Yay no more qualcomm brick but phone stuck on red icon, does someone have a clue what happened to my phone or if I would ever get it back to normal? :crying:
How long did you let the phone sit for (wait) and you assume it's stuck? As I know if you use the Qualcomm downloader will flash back to ColorOS and it will wipe everything automatically and your phone should be able to boot normally.(Last time when I revive my OPO if I remember correctly it will show the red 1+ logo for at least 30-45 sec.
It just sits there waited for a couple minutes, all the flashing goes ok, even with CM12S the flasing seems to be good, but it just boot loops, and the other thing when I flash a recovery it does flash it, but I cant make it boot to recovery what so ever... I just hope and pray there is a way to recover my phone since it would be a shame if someone told me, you have to buy a new motherboard... hopefully someone would just say replace the battery XD, because when I flash CM12s it does say the battery is too low to power and it keeps power cycling

[Completed] LG G4 h811 unable to factory reset or enter download mode.

Hey guys,
Sorry if the answer to this found somewhere else, tried searching but foud nothing for my situation.
My buddy, who is a super basic user and was not attempting to do anything with his phone, has a G4 that suddenly stopped working and went into a boot loop.
We tried factory resetting it and it got about half way through the apps before stopping, going back into a boot loop and was unable to get back to the same point in the factory reset.
I tried flashing the ROM using LGUP to H811-20o and it said that it went successfully on LGUP as well as the phone itself, but after it rebooted it went back into a boot loop.
Now the boot loop goes faster but is still looping and we cannot get back into download mode to try again or potentially try a different ROM. It goes to the first screen of download mode with the 5 blue dots but doesn't get past that, I've removed the battery waited for a while in between attempts and still nothing.
We can get to the factory reset screen and click yes, it will then go to the green android guy with his cog wheels exposed but then immediately goes back into a boot loop.
Any help is appreciated, even if its just a confirmation of being SOL.

Phone won't complete after stock flash

My father-in-law's S6 was rebooting right after the menu screen came up. After trying numerous things which wouldn't work (still had varying boot loops) like getting into the recovery mode and doing a factory wipe, I decided to use Odin and flash the base stock Android nougat on this (it had the one verizon security patch after that, so should be no issue doing this).
That went okay and it rebooted and got all the way to "Android is starting" which you see after a firmware upgrade. But I didn't realize the battery had run down through all this so it died at this stage. So it was taking a charge now, so let it charge overnight and give it another run.
Got up today, tried to start it...back to the boot loop. So I figured I'd flash stock again with Odin (can always get back to that mode).
It completes successfully and then after the reboot at about 32% jumps to "erasing" and then the boot loop again.
Got into recovery mode once and wiped cache (pointless at this point, but whatever) and did factory reset there, then boot to bootloader. Got all the way to the verizon screen...and then boot loop again.
Is this phone just done? The only thing I can consistently get to is Odin mode. I tried the stock reflash a couple more times and keep ending up in a boot loop and it doesn't even get past the "custom" screen now. And I can't even actually get it to shutdown for that matter. I can get to the battery pull mode but if I try to power off from there, I just get the black screen with the blue light.
And, to make matters even worse, now on restart, it brings up the blue system update screen for a second, then jumps over to the no command screen, sits there for a second, then reboots again. I think I've somehow managed to even blow the recovery menu but this has all been stock and never had any custom firmware or root.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
