[Q] Flashed to S7 and stuck on "S7" screen - not loading

Hey guys, so I flashed to S7 from Infused an hour ago through CWM red screen and now it's stuck on the Serendipity VIII screen and it has been for the last 45 minutes.
I cleared cache and deleted all previous settings and flashed to S7 and it said it was successful. I chose "reboot now" and now it's stuck. I can't get back into the red screen by holding the volume/power buttons and when I try to hold just the power button down, it just restarts and gets back to that screen.
Is there anyway to fix this??? This sucks.

Try Holding the Volume up/down longer. Power it off....then hold them for around 15 seconds.

No go. Just goes straight to the "Serendipity VII" screen.
I've pulled the battery and tried it several times but it goes to the Rogers startup screen then right to that S7 screen...

then you will have to put it into download mode and use the unbrick and start from scratch.
or use Odin to flash a GB kernel with CWM and you can reflash everything that way as well.

Am I able to run this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
with root + 3e modded recovery to save me time from having to re-root?
EDIT: So I put it into download mode and used the above method and it worked well in Odin, but now it's stuck on the Samsung screen. What a headache. I'm wondering if it's because I didn't get the correct kernel that it was stuck on the S7 screen in the first place...
Looks like I have to try gtg's method later...

So I'm stuck.
I've used gtg's method and it finishes in Odin perfectly and it goes to reboot but still stays at the SAMSUNG screen now. No changes for 10+ minutes.
Any other suggestions? I'm just about to pull my hair out.

Is this a Rogers infuse, or AT&T?

i believe there is a S7 help forum. may want to see if someone has had the same problem and if there is a solution there.

Thanks guys!
I finally solved it. Solution - just in case anyone else runs into a similar problem.
Rogers and AT&T infuses are different. If you have a Rogers Infuse and try to use GTG's ultimate unbrick - it will not work. Not only will it not let you boot up, but it gives you a fabulous new AT&T splash screen as well. Luckily, GTG had also developed an unbrick with the stock Rogers rom for Rogers Infuse owners to use which is kind of buried in the forums that take some time searching for.
Once you get THAT file, you can use Odin and unbrick from there. No problems after that. The other great thing about it was that it's an already rooted rom. Instead of taking the chance again of trying to flash S7 on it, I just went ahead and flashed Infused instead all over again since i had less than 24 hours with it.
Hope that helps anyone in the future.

[Q] Bricked GT-P5113

I was trying to root my Galaxy Tab 2 for the first time. The process started, but failed. Now I'm stuck on the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen. The device will turn off and back on, but remains on error screen. Seems to be trapped in download mode (as I can still see the download progress bar). Go Mobile and Odin say the device has connected to PC.
Anyone know of anything to fix this? Should I just revert to stock ROM and try again later?

can you actually boot in to download mode? power and vol down after power off? I know you say it seems to trapped in download mode but they're different! If you can, flash a stock rom from sammobile.com

I cannot boot into download mode. When I turn it off, it simply flashes off for a few secs then goes back to the error screen on its own. Does the same thing when I turn it back on myself. No logo screen. No droid. Nothing.
EDIT: Unplugged device entirely and retried the stock ROM in Odin. Finally worked! Looks like it might be fixed now.

I think my cord might have an issue (or they're just testy in general). I was noticing the battery wasn't fully charging for a while before all this. After the whole brick issue, I plugged it in to charge and it started flashing the "loading charge (empty battery + loading circle)" screen on and off until I unplugged and re-plugged it. I suspect that this is why the rooting failed in the first place.

Hi you may use cf auto root for gt p5113 with odin.this happend to me couple days ago.

I also bricked my tablet. Searched wide and low for ideas on how to fix. But I can't find a thing. I cannot get into Odin mode or recovery. Just hangs on the battery charging screen. My windows 7 computer can't even recognize it in Kies or odin. Yes the tablet is rooted.

Galaxy Tab 7.7 (P-6800) not booting into Download Mode

STORY
I installed a stock ROM for my Galaxy Tab 7.7 (P-6800) and it was stuck at the flashing SAMSUNG logo (the one with the tune) and so I just left it there and went to sleep. The next day I tried turning on the tablet but it didn't work so I booted into Download Mode and did a NAND erase. I was planning to install a stock ROM from SAMMOBILE but now I can't boot into Download Mode. When I try to, it goes into the warning screen and after a second or so, it becomes black. I figured it could have been out of battery or a button is broken. I have tried charging the tablet with wall charger (2.1A) but it doesn't seem to work. I could occasionally get it successfully into Download Mode but it will turn off itself for no reason.
PROBLEM
THE PROBLEM IS THAT I CANNOT BOOT INTO ANYTHING NOT EVEN DOWNLOAD MODE SO PLEASE DON'T GIVE ME GUIDES ON HOW TO FLASH.
I'M ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR A GUIDE ON HOW TO ENTER DOWNLOAD MODE WITHOUT USING PHYSICAL BUTTONS.
THERE IS NO ROM INSTALLED SO DON'T TELL ME TO GO THE TERMINAL OR ANYTHING. IT IS ABSOLUTELY EMPTY ONLY HARDWARE AND DOWNLOAD MODE IS INSIDE THE TABLET.
Anyways, please help. I am trying to get daniel_hk's cyanogen mod on this for my friend and I don't think he would expect me giving a bricked tablet to him.

Dead battery maybe?
Do you guys think I joined the dead battery club?

HELP
HELP please I need it working by Monday.

WORKING
Nevermind it is working now.

[Q] [i9505] Galaxy S4 bricked?

Hi there, first, sorry for my english but I'm trying
I have a problem(solved probably many times but it isn't working for me, am I doing something wrong?).
So, from beggining. Few days after update my SGS4 to 5.01 Lollipop original(I've never modified this phone), I've got a problem with physical keys, there were no answer from all of them(include menu and back key). So, to check if it is hardware problem, I've get thru download and recovery mode - working, but in recovery mode I couldn't move thru volume up/down buttons(there was no answer from them).
So, decision, flashing by official firmware. I've downloaded this one( I9505XXUHOB7_I9505XEOHOB3_I9505XXUHOB7_HOME ) and then, fun has gone thru pain in ass. After flashing thru Odin, phone is showing logo for a dunno, 0.5 second and whole screen get's dark. Like it couldn't get to whole booting sequention. The same when I'm trying to get to recovery mode. Even there is no blue sign up in the screen...
Now the question, what I'm done wrong? I've tried with pit file and nothing else happen. Can someone pls tell me what should I do, what should I download and flash?
And sorry to mods for post in general category but I cannot put this(or even ask in relevant question) in proper section...

anyone has no clue...?

You shouldn't play with the pit files...
Just go to sammobile and find the firmware for your phone and flash it with odin in the pda section.

Yeah, I've tried this. After uploading data to the phone, it's restarting, samsungs logo appears for half minute and it seems that he is turning off after that time. Wtf? Of course after turning on, the same story, logo for 0.5 second and this is it...

Very interesting.... maybe you should go to recovery and do a full wipe. Power button + home button + volume up

Galaxy s3 sch-I535 bricked and infinite loop everywhere

Hi guys. So I got a samsung galaxy s3 with a custom rom (Cyanogenmod I think 11 or 12) and the smartphone is completely in a bootloop due to the rom not working. I was obviously going to try to flash the stock firmware through ODIN and forget about CM but I have a problem: the phone everytime I plug the battery, it turns on showing the s3 screen and so and after a few seconds or a minute the screen goes black and goes back to the logo and it doesnt matter if in I'm download or recovery mode, those two things work fine but for a few seconds and then the smarphone loops back to the boot screen son in few words: my recovery and download mode are tecnically not working due to that. Is there any fix?
So the general thing is a s3 sch-i535 with CM in a bootloop.
ps: If need more specific information feel free to ask

Is there any chance that you have a power button that is sticking?

You're welcome. Power button issues seem to occur more than they should, based on posts I've read.
