I have a rooted stock phone that stopped working for no apparent reason (no new ROM flashed, no configuration change). It starts, shows the Samsung logo, and immediately reboots. I tried to put it in download mode, when i hold the 3 keys I see the download logo showing up, but it reboots after a few seconds anyway. after a while it will start looping through the battery charge screen (which shows the battery as empty). I tried 2 different batteries with no change. Any idea how to get something working again?
That almost sounds like some sort of power issue. Have you left it sit turned off until the battery was full?
Yes, I left it overnight and it just keeps flashing the battery screen and then resets. I also have an external charger and used it to charge the battery, so it's not an issue with the battery actually being empty.
Have you been able to get the phone into download mode previously?
Have you have dealt with a boot loop and performed an Odin recovery previously? If not, remember it can take a few tries to get download mode to pop up.
If you can't get Odin to go, you might try flashing with Kies.
I am wondering if your phone met with some kind of disaster when you weren't around (trauma or liquid).

This sounds almost exactly like the problem I had with my Sidekick. In my case, it turned out to be a bad battery and a loose ribbon cable on the motherboard. I'd check those two things.
This happened to me as well, and the three-button method to get into download mode wasn't working. For some odd reason, for me to get into download mode all I have to do is hold down the power button + track pad, and it goes right into download mode... Maybe slightly different model?
Try that - power button + trackpad
Bootloops.
Not a guaranteed fix by any means but for troubleshooting purposes you may want to consider making a USB JIG. It will most definitely help you figure out just how serious the problem is and if it IS software related with a way to get it working again you will need the JIG anyway so its worth a shot. If nothing else you learn a new skill and you're the proud owner of an incredibly useful tool that you can say you made yourself. good luck!
I know this post is kind of old, but it just happened to me last week (same circumstance, a rooted phone, but stock). I ended up just pulling the battery out and pressing the power button a couple times to hopefully drian it and letting it sit for 15 minutes, and then I put the battery back in and it worked again. I now have another rom flashed on it, I hate stock.
I know this forum is ancient, but I'm working on an E-Bay phone with this exact issue. I found the following thread the most useful and informative on the problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996709
Hopefully this helps other.
what i did was hold the power volume and button between the menu n back with the left hand YES HOLD IT UNTILL THE PIT IS UPLOADED. then u can let go then slide in the vattery with the right.while checking off the flash bootloarders on the heimdall with it fixing my phone XD
I had this happen, I dissassembled the phone, and used an alcohol pad to clean the power button area, and manipulated the button a lot, let it dry, reassembled...it still bootlooped.
BELOW IS RISKY BUT WORKED FOR ME
So while the back cover was off (exposing the cicuit board but everything still connected) I inserted the battery and watched it boot loop...during this, I used a flathead screw driver to "short" the power button pins...this let it boot fully, and it has been fine since.
i smacked the phones power button a few times and it worked
Hi,
yesterday I pulled my One S out of my pocket, opened up the browser, made a search on google and all of a sudden, while the page was loading the screen turned off, completely black. The capacitive buttons stayed awake for 4-5 seconds, then they turned off too.
Completely dead, the phone won't turn on anymore, not even in recovery mode. If I connect the wall charger the charging led doesn't light up, although I can feel the phone is heating (as usually happens when charging).
I've tried connecting it to the pc via usb and windows after a while, detects a peripheral named "qhsusb_dload". I've read on google that this isn't any good... Anyway, even connected to the pc (for hours) the charging led doesn't light up.
No signs of life from my One S... :crying:
The phone is completely stock, unrooted.
Do someone have any hints?
Thanks.
I believe you're in download mode.
Hold the power button until your button leds start flashing and then keep holding it until they stop again. Now let go. If they don't start flashing within (say) 20 seconds, you can also let go. Hold the vol-down button and press&release the power button. Hopefully this boots you into bootloader mode. If not I don't nkow what else to suggest other than look at the unbricking thread in the development forum.
There's no way I can enter bootloader. The phone shows no signs of life (no capacitive buttons, no charging led, nothing at all)...
One thing that maybe is important: for about a month, I've been experiencing a strange battery drain. The drain used to occur even if the phone was in deep sleep (I'm sure about this because I've checked with cpuspy and anyway I hadn't installed any new apps for quite a while), at a rate of 7-8% each hour. I could leave the phone on the desk with screen off and in standby (no 3g data, no wifi, not even cellular network) and the drain was still there.
By the way, when my phone died I had plenty of battery left, about 70%.

If it's unrooted then your warranty is still 100% intact and HTC will replace your phone no problem. What you describe just happens sometimes, more so with this phone then others I've seen.
The qhsusb_dload means it's not worth tinkering with yourself if you can just submit it for warranty.

I see, thanks. Is this qhsusb-dload issue hardware-related? If so, is it possible that they swap my S4 chip with an S3?

Think of qhsusb-dload kinda like your normal PC without windows. Your phone could not find an operating system to boot into and defaulted to qhsusb-dload mode waiting for a command. Our problem is that we don't really know the commands for qhsusb-dload nor do we have the files needed to use it only the manufactures do.
They can't swap a s4 chip for a S3 version that isn't the same product.
Most likely it the micro USB charging port that's gone toast.. happened to mine exact same symptoms. I was actually unlocked, HTC dev unlocked too, running a custom ROM as well as custom recovery and splash screen. I still sent it in repair with hope of they will never be able to turn the damn thing on to discover my deeds and will replace my phone but they didn't mind, they reflashed stock rom after repair and sent it back but I was still s-off
Send it into repair mate. Best option instead of tinkering with it lol

It didn't work. The terminal waits for the device, however it doesn't respond...
I'll have to send the phone in.
Crazy idea but that sounds like the mode you go into for the downgrade so maybe the last part of it might help to get you up and running again.

No that for flashing Hboot think you want step 12 but will need to edit the file the download has but you will need to do step 3 so you can do step 12. I have no idea if it will work but its an idea and also might be best to ask about it there too before doing anything.

that worked for me. thanks a lot
btw. maybe someone can answer this: how come that the phone goes in download mode?! I had the phone unused the last hours before I recognized it wasn't on anymore? Does this just happen? I am on CM11 Nightlies atm.
I'm considering upgrading from my S2 to the S6 but I'm concerned about situations where, in the past, my S2 was locked up such that the only way to fix it was to pop out the battery.
Trying to power it off through the button didn't work, screen was unresponsive.
With the S6, since you can't just pop the back off and pop the battery out, what would one do in this situation?

Hold power until it restarts. If for some reason that doesnt work then hold Home+Power+Vol Down until it reboots.
Do NOT hold power+vol down+home. That puts it in download mode.
It's not an S2, I can't imagine this happening. Hasn't happened on my last 3 phones that did not have removable battery.

So what if it goes into download mode. I'm just saying if whatever reason it doesn't restart with power then try the latter.

Still, I wonder what happens in a situation where (in the past) you needed to pull the battery to do a hard restart. It's looking like you can't do that now.

That isn't the case anymore. The power button is made to bypass the system now by holding it down due to non removable battery. I guess worse case scenario you could just let it die and then boot into recovery and factory reset. The download mode hard reset function should always work regardless of the state of the system. Then when in download mode just hold down the combo again until the screen goes black. Then you can just start it up again. Not sure why the other poster thinks going into download mode is a dramatic scenario.
Update: I just read samsung built in a specific function just for this. Hold volume down and power for 10 seconds and phone will power off.

I hope that is really the case. And my phone is a S4, no clue why I said S2. duh.
I know that on rare occasions my phone was so foobared that the only way I could unlock it was to pop the battery out but then again on an S4 there may not have been a power off button combination under the same circumstances.
I found that I had to hold all 4 buttons on my Verizon S6 to get it out of download mode. This boots it into "Maintenance Boot Mode" which gives you some special boot modes alongside a normal boot option.

Either you know something download does that I do not, we are not on
the same page or you're confusing download mode with recovery mode.
Download mode has no options on the phone for a hard reset. It's just
download mode. Recovery mode offers hard reset as well as factory reset.

Getting into download mode is just a method. Never said there was any selectable options. I think you weren't understanding me. Anyways Samsung has built in a feature to hold power and volume down which will take you to a screen where you can do 5 different options. 1 is a factory reset.
Hi,
i update my Galaxy S7 today with the new DBT-Firmware. I follow a Tutorial in which you can update a rooted Phone with flashify it without loss any data. Also the TWRP works still great after this. I did this with the last Firmware few weeks ago and it works great.
Today it works great also, everything was perfect. Than a last step: I flash the the bootloader seperately in odin. i did this the last time too and it works well. but not at this time.
After Bootloader flash, the device stays in the first Screen with Samsung Logo, i cannot go to Download Mode or Recovery. I tried a USB-Jig, but it changes nothing. The only thing you can do now is, to make a Reset with Power+Volume Down. Than the screen goes black for a second and it shows the Samsung Logo Screen again.
bad thing is: I cant turn off the device!
i remove the SIM and the SD-Card, but no reaction.
Anybody an idea? The battery was half loaded, so maybe it takes a while, before it will shutdown itself.
Mhhh, that's a bad day, i fear. But iam an Idiot, it was the Bootloader-Flash at the end, before that everything was perfect.
Maybe anybody can help me, that were great.
And sorry for my bad english.
Thanks,
Jan

There is a hacky method to remove the back and get to the battery

thanks for the link, but i think before i remove the backcover, i better will bring it to repair first. i got an official samsung repair center in my town.
by the way: it was the bootloader from the latest official firmware (G930FXXU1BPH6, DBT-Version).
i cannot explain to myself, what happend i done all this a few weeks ago with the last firmware without any problems.

i will now wait, until it shuts down itself, maybe that took a few hours.
if i can charge it, maybe i can than go into the downloadmode.
If you had 50% battery left, and it's just sitting on the Samsung logo, it might take days to run out
50% battery on idle with the phone booted into Android will last a day or two on its own, just on the logo is like ultra power saving mode

Found this, try holding power and volume down & up together for safe mode (Might not work if it's stuck on the logo, but worth a try)
---
Okay. This morning my S7 would not turn off, its not the edge, but basically the same phone.
You must hold down the power, the volume up and down all at the same time for about 15 seconds. (All 3 buttons).
It will go into safe mode. In the safe mode screen hit the volume button down a few times until it moves to restart.
Click the power button, as "enter" and the phone will restart.
It did a restart and I tried again to turn it off and this time, it did work. I will keep you all updated if I have any more issues.

Does Smart Switch see it?
All this is unlikely due to where it is stuck, at the logo, you shouldn't have been able to kill download mode is the thing, that is part of the hardware, nothing to do with the ROM, you 'should' always be able to enter download mode if you hold Volume Down & Home & Power at boot, not sure why it's freezing at the logo before that point
With the S5 there was an unbrick image you flashed to a MicroSD card, put that in the phone, and that took you to download mode where you could recover the phone
See if there is the same thing for the S7, I'm not sure
ok, after the phone shut down itself, i was able to go to the download mode. but only on first try. when it boots normally, it stuck again on that logo an i must wait again until it goes off itself.
flash it than in download mode with latest firmware in odin with 4 parts. power from the usb was enough to stay it on.
now it seems ok, back on latest firmware.
what a hell of an evenig, need a beer right now
You can switch your phone off with the 3 key pressing and holding (vol+, vol-, power) but your phone needs to be connected to power otherwise it will reboot.

yes, iam happy now, seems to work fine.
i think it was because the new bootloader don't work with the twrp version that was installed.
on the twrp page there is a new version especially for this firmware. it was published yesterday and i didn't see it.
so i think, after flash the new bootloader over the old twrp it chrashed the whole system.

Well if you do it again, make sure your battery is low first in case you have to wait again

So I was trying to make a backup with the latest twrp and I got this error code: createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255.
I figured, to hell with it I'll reboot. Twrp asked if I wanted to install the twrp app, I said no. Screen goes back, never to turn on again. No button combo holding for any length of time helps. Bummer, right? I was running DU at the time.
Now I'm worried about the RMA, I hope they don't deny me after they get it back into the warehouse.

Does anything happen when you plug the phone into the wall or into the PC?
Have you tried just holding down power for a while?
are you on beta hardware. i noticed today my phone was unresponsive installing twrp it would go black and disconnect from pc. what i had to do to get it to turn back on since it stayed lik that even holding the power button for a while was just hold the volume key and power for a couple min down and power if that dont work try volume up and power just random pushes to get the phone it will go to some debugging screen then just holding buttons till it restarts

I also had the same situation go on as well. I'm not sure what's is happening but when I boot TWRP the thing just becomes unresponsive and a black screen. I had to hold the buttons for nearly 30 seconds before it worked. Pixel isn't a friendly device to mod. :-/

Yes I was using twrp, I was flashing test build. But it put me into a loop. U got a black screen, and if your computer won't even recognize it , you may be out of luck. I have been using rc2 I know it's not great for restoring backups, but it works good for everything else
That is so strange. I have never come across this issue before. Unfortunately, if you can't seem to get your PC to recognize the device, I don't think there's anything you can do. I guess we will have to be wary about using TWRP. I haven't had any weird issues myself with TWRP but I know others have. Here's hoping google will honor your warranty. I think they will, I don't think see them spending the time to look into what caused your phone to die so I think you'll be able to get a replacement without much hassle.
If you wouldn't mind, please keep us updated.
