My phone is rooted with stock rom. The only changes are listed below
Froze bloat that was safe
changed bootanimation to stock samsung
replaced some apps with inverted versions of themselves (ex. google +, stock messaging)
Here goes:
I was using navigation and I noticed that my phone was off after I had finished. Nothing worked at all, I could not boot into recovery or download. I connected the phone to a charger and red led flashes and an empty battery appears. The battery was full. I could reboot the phone while on the charger, but it would shut off as soon as it got to the homescreen. While off, If I pressed the home button, the green battery would appear as if it were charging. From here I could boot into recovery and download mode. The phone will only boot into these modes while connected to the charger. Here is where it went bad. I attempted to restore a backup while the phone was on the car charger and my car charger got pulled out in the middle of a restore. No charger meant that the phone shut off mid restore. Now, when I plug in the phone, the red led appears and the empty battery with a circle inside appears and then goes away. This repeats itself over and over and the phone buzzes when the empty battery reappears. I can still boot into download mode but not recovery. If I try to flash the stock samsung rom via odin, it says that it passes, however upon automatic reboot the samsung appears and nothing else. After the samsung appears the phone just continues to buzz every 5 seconds or so as if it is trying to do something. Could it be a bootloop? I have done a ton of searching here and now I am resorting to help! Your time is appreciated and beers on me if you can help me get my phone back to normal.
Put your phone into download mode and let it sit on the charger for 30 minutes. After pull and reinsert your battery and then try to power on your phone without your charger. Then proceed to charge your phone to full since it powered on.

This did not work but thank you for the suggestion. From what I have gathered, as long as I can get into recovery then I should be able to get everything back to normal. Anyone?

if you can get into download mode, you can use odin to fix everything.
you might have to do a complete wipe but it is what it is

I tried this already. My problem is that after I flash the first bootchain, the second bootchain will not flash. I gets stuck at the setup in odin. I see there is an option to disconnect the phone and exit odin and reconnect the phone without leaving download mode if this happens. My problem is that if I disconnect the phone from the computer or from the charger it shuts off automatically. I tried these steps the best that I could and when I click nand erase and it reboots, then all it does is buzz every few seconds. I then shut it off and do the data and cache wipe and reboot. It reboots and appears to be the stock rom asking me for language and activation after, but the phone shuts off almost immediately and reboots to a blank battery with a circle in the middle. This is after I have had the phone on the charger for a long time. This happened out of the blue after I was using navigation. This problem did not arise from changing something in the system or from flashing a rom or kernel or anything of the sort. No one has seen this issue with the blank battery? I saw someone mention in android forums but the resolution was that they returned it and got a refurb.
Hello.
I got stuk on the firmware update screen after a factory reset that never rebooted (Maybe it's because I'm having a problem with the USB port. Anyway I tried this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663369 for flashing stock jelly bean (I was already in there before the softbrick) and everything went perfect, it rebooted to android, powered back of and got a PASS message at the end, but after I unplugged the phone and powered ON I got the Firmware Update screen again.
Tried another time but I decided to stop the process once it reboot to android, the phone it worked fine as long as I keep it on, if I power it off I will get the damn Firmware Update screen again after I power it ON. Also if I try a factory reset it will reboot to that screen.
Thanks in advance.
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.

Have you tried restoring to 100% stock with a factory image?

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:
Device is a LG G3 D850, rooted, TWRP installed, stock ROM on 5.0.1
Here's the story: Yesterday I was browsing normally when the device froze up, then shut off. Wouldn't power on with the power button. I had to pull the battery and then it turned on. When the device booted back up, it was running very sluggish. Immediately noticed that the WiFi was constantly trying to turn on with no success (When entering the WiFi menu it only said "WiFi turning on"). Bluetooth would not turn on either. The battery was draining rapidly, about 20% in 30 minutes with no use. GSam Battery Monitor reported that Kernel (OS) had used 95% of the battery. I tried rebooting the phone with no success. Booted into recovery and cleared cache, no success. Couldn't find anything online besides people saying to try a different ROM/Stock rom or that they were told it was a failed motherboard. I tolerated using the phone into the night, but the battery was constantly draining and the phone temperature reported ~98 degrees even without use. The WiFi and Bluetooth never started working. Today, a few hours into the day, the phone shut off again. This time it started boot looping, going from the LG splash screen then the spinning AT&T screen, it would then hang and reboot (constantly boot looping). Battery pulls didnt help. Once or twice, the phone actually booted into the OS. After a minute it would start bootlooping again. I then booted into recovery and performed a factory reset. After the factory reset, the phone still bootlooped. I then booted into recovery and recovered to a previous nandroid backup. The phone booted up afterwards, with the WiFi actually working. After 5 minutes, the WiFi stopped working again and the phone proceeded to start bootlooping. My next attempt was to flash back to Stock ROM, using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/general/unroot-return-to-factory-stock-att-lg-g3-t2820827. The flash worked successfully, booting into the OS on the setup screen, but instantly started bootlooping again... The bootloop is a little different now, going from LG splash screen > Green android with blue spinning circle in his stomach > AT&T splash screen > then rebooting. I cant even get into TWRP now (When trying to boot into recovery and clicking yes on the default factory reset screen, it just reboots instead of going into TWRP) Im out of options, should I give up and buy a new device, or does somebody have any other suggestions?

Sadly that is because of a hardware issue. Been happening. A lot lately.

Alright, that's what I had read. Just seemed like a software issue so I was hoping for the best. I went ahead and ordered a new device. Im guessing a full motherboard replacement would be required to fix the device?
Recurring Issue
Hello,
The same problem happened to me a few days ago so this is trully a recurring issue.
I also tried to fix my rom by reinstalling it, then tried to install multiple new rom, and finally flashed the original stock rom. I also am stuck on the bootloop issue.
I'm going to contact LG to see if they can do anything to repaire it but my hope are very low.
I'll try to update this message if I find a solution.
Mine just started bootlooping and no wifi and today it just died. Battery pulls didnt work either no power at all. Probably going to switch to the V30 when its released.

It's probably to late but theres another method returning to stock KitKat dont know the link off hand in development forums. Sucks you couldnt try no adb methods. Still have the Phone want to sell it i need a cheap screen ?
I`ve been usgin havoc 10.0 for the past 2 months and no problems at all until today.
Left my phone idle for some hours and when I tried to unlock it, it was off. force rebooting it took me to the rom loading screen and after 2 secs, a restart to the mi logo and then it turns off.
Tried dirty reflash of the rom with TWRP, a clean flash, another rom, the stock rom zip, same results, rom loading, restart and then mi logo and power off.
So I went nuclear and miflash it with the original stock rom, everything went fine there but at the final reboot to system, same thing, rom logo, 2 sec, reboot, mi logo and off.
Can't get adb running now because no usb debug can be enabled as I cant get the system at least running badly to turn it on.,
So I cant reflash anything and twrp is gone because of miflash flashing.
When I let itl connected with a charger, instead of turning off in the second restart, it stays at the charge animation as when you deplete the battery (it charges normaly btw)
Anyone can shine some ideias please? I'm not new to moddind but this is my first xiaomi and I'm stuck
Hey!
You will have to flash through edl mode if fastboot mode is not working
