Ok...so I'm using the SM-N900 . I installed pakeka rI'm v6 and decided to go for Dr. Khetan rom L23. I installed it and after a while I decidedo to go back to stock so I booted into philz recovery , did a full wipe, and went into power option and selected to reboot into download mode. After that it rebooted and my phones screen went completely blank and later these "gold dust" kinda appearance came on the screen. I waited a while still same and then I took out the battery, waited for about five minutes , inserted the battery and still that same appearance , no logo screen , no recovery , no download mode, just that blank "gold dust" screen. So this time around I just booted into download mode (blindly of course) and then I pressed volume up assuming it's already in download mode since screen is blank. Opened Odin and flashed stock firmware and it was a success. After that it took about almost 10 minutes before finally the device setup screen appeared ( whewwww!) ...Since funny since then again, phone''s back to normal...but my question is,
...how did this happen?
...Has anyone experienced that before?
...What could've caused that?
...what could have been the immediate remedy in this situation?
...could it be my device problem that I need to be aware of or its just a software problem?
Please help, I need answers..

The unit has been used for about 2 months and remains quite new. It was quite stable before. Yesterday night, about half an hour after plugged in for charging and with WiFi Hotspot turned on for sharing 3G data to another netbook, the unit suddenly rebooted itself. It then stopped at the start-up screen and remained there for several minutes. I kept holding the power button for a few seconds to turn it off but it then automatically reboot itself afterwards, and stopped at the start-up screen again. It means that even complete turning off is not possible.
Trying to enter into recovery mode showed the following few lines:
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Updating application...
Copying Common Apks.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then it automatically rebooted again. It means that it can't enter into recovery mode normally.
It was possible to enter into download mode. And it was the first time this machine went into download mode. I run Odin Downloader and flashed the official stock ROM. After showing "Pass", the device rebooted itself. Unfortunately, it still stopped at the start-up screen, just showing "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus". It is really troubesome. I have experience playing several Android devices before and it is the first time I face such troublesome problem.
The device is an official product. The biggest problem is that the original purchase invoice was lost and most likely that I couldn't get official support, repair service or replacement.
May I ask if anyone would kindly provide me some help or advice. Thanks!
Instead of going into download mode go into recovery mode and see if there are any errors. Your scenario is sounding very similar to the one I had in the past.
I just ran into a nasty snag at boot logo as well. nandroid, stock kernel and factory reset were no help. Try Odin back to Stock, it still may not get past boot logo, hold vol up and power to get into recovery and factory reset. Hope it works for you.
Unfortunately I was unable to get into recovery mode even after odin flashing stock ROM.
It rebooted itself a few seconds after displaying some lines of text. I can't see the normal recovery menu.
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:
Hi everyone
I have GT-N8000 2012 version. A week ago it suddenly went off and I am no longer able to turn it on, i.e. after showing the Samsung white logo, it is restarted. I have tried flashing different firmware versions but it doesn't help. Also the Power+VolumUp combination does not show any menu (I think it usually boots a menu for factory reset). What can I do? (I prefer being able to recover my data).
Thanks in advance
Same problem here, on same device type (N8000 2012, standard stock samsung firmware).
Mine doens't even reach the Samsung logo. It just gets to the 1st screen (Galaxy Note 10.1 white message) and reboots after a couple of seconds.
Also can get to any menu using Power & VolumeUp (doesn't seen to have any effect). Only Power &VolumDown gets to the Download menu.
Unless this is a Hardware problem I wanted to factory reset the device, hopping this would clean "everything" but put it running again.
Thanks
Suggest flash stock rom via Odin ,and download mode.
try this one

no worries. it happens. soft brick situation
you need a stock rom for your device or back up rom.
go back to PC and start ODIN, cable in, then boot your device under download mode not recovery.
once it is in download mode, flash your device using ODIN.
allow to reboot.
un-bricked device.:good:
stock ROMs are here in case you are looking

Hi,
Since a week, i droped my s8+, the back glass only cracked but every thing work fine ... but i won't able to have a broken back glass so i went to a store to replace it, once he replace it and boot the phone, the phone boot on " S8+ powered by Android" , and after that black screen and received notification ... after he reboot the phone, bootloop on "S8+ screen powered by android" and keeping rebooting , we take of the battery and boot the phone, same issues bootlop, and it was impossible to boot in recovery or download mode, we tested all combination, even the Jib USB not work.
I'm in Ageria and we haven't customer service of samsung, so if anyone have any idea he tell me, i'm lost really !!
thanks
up please, 1 month with no fix
If you cannot enter Download mode, it is most likely dead. I never managed to get my phone back if it could not enter the Download mode ?️.
S8+ G955F not going into download mode, only recovery mode is working,
phone had custom blocker inside, so flashed it with 'simple factory setting apk,
but now phone isn't going into download mode..
please help to find solution for this..??
My phone worked normally the day before，Go home after get off work and turn off all connections, WiFi/mobile data/Bluetooth/location, charge for two hours, receive/make a phone call in the middle, and shut down normally before going to bed without any software upgrade changes and unplug the charger
Then today when i turn on the phone,it shows the goole logo normally,then stuck on the screen of"system is starting"
i've tried go to twrp to clean cache which is not working
after few restarting now the phone is totally blackscreen when the google logo animation is done.
even i tried enter the safe mode.the only difference is the phone shows "safe mode"in the bottom left,nothing i can do but press the power button
The problem I infer is the google launcher is not working,maybe i'm wrong
Any help would be great,thx
What you see is Android's BSoD ( Black Screen of Death ). You get this when Android system got corrupted - for whatever reason.
My recommendation: Re-flash phone's Stock ROM.
