Hi,
I installed CEBERUS V5 ROM in my Galaxy Ace without any problem, it works perfectly, when installing it on my brother's phone, it did everything OK until the last reboot in ClockWorkRecovery, the phone restarted as spected but it got stuck with the Samsung Galaxy Ace logo, it doesn't do anything else. I can't access recovery or download mode, it shows exactly the same samsung screen when doing the key combinations for each case.
When I plug it to power it doesn't show the battery image, it automatically turns on and shows samsung logo again. If I plug it to my PC it's the same and the PC doesn't recognize any plugged device. I took the battery and tried again thousand of times, and nothing seems to get that screen out.
Is there anyway I can solve this?
In case there's no chance to fix it, I have a warranty for the phone, is there anyway my provider can notice I tried to install a custom ROM?
Anyway I would prefer fixing it myself, please can you give me some advice?
Thanks a lot!
hi got my galaxy s5 model SM-900F from overseas it was a open phone and i rooted it. After a week it just shutdown and when i start it up it display all grey on the screen. It wont let you see the SAMSUNG logo with the powered by ANDROID screen. But i tried to push the volume key down it let me pass that all grey screen and lead me to the home screen but then after a few minutes it would freeze and become unresponsive. Tried to wipe/factory reset it on the recovery mode still same, also tried to flash the original firmware of the phone that i downloaded on sammobile website still have same issue. the all out grey screen when you turn it on the 1st time. Can someone help pls as i get frustrated on this. btw im in nz and the firmware my phone used was on the hk.. thanks appreciate ur reply..
I had my phone just sitting on a wireless charger this morning and had been there for about 15-30 minutes. I noticed it was rebooting, odd I thought? I took it off and then realized it was going into a boot loop. I gave it a soft reset and then it would turn on and stay on for about 10 seconds before boot looping again. I again gave it a soft reset after a couple loops and now it seems to totally dead, as the title implies.
No button combination has worked and I've held them all down for well over 30 seconds each. I've tried plugging it into my PC and haven't gotten any response that way. The blue LED is on so I know it's not dead...I think? To make matters worse, I bought this phone off Craigslist about 5 months ago and it's the Exynos version so I definitely can't get any kind of warranty on it. I'm hoping someone has had this problem and can help or just has some advice. Thanks everyone.
EDIT: To keep this updated, I have been able to get into Odin Mode and have tried to flash stock firmware. Odin says everything went fine but the phone hangs up at the Samsung Galaxy S7 logo. I'm unable to boot into recovery mode and I've even tried to reinstall TWRP with Odin and that has not worked.
Seen the LED only problem before, waiting for the battery to drain and the phone to turn off seems to be the only known cure atm
Once it does, connect the charger for 15 mins, then boot directly into recovery and clear caches to try fix the bootloop, possible it may need factory resetting / clean flash of stock ROM
Using the MicroUSB > USB white adapter, you may be able to connect a power hungry USB peripheral to the phone to drain the battery faster, I use a USB desktop fan, but some people report it not working when it is stuck in this LED loop and have just had to wait it out
Thanks for that advice, I'll let it drain over night. However, I have been able to get it to boot into Odin Mode and Odin v.3 recognized it. I flashed the stock firmware but upon rebooting nothing happened and now it gets stuck at the Samsung logo screen. I can still get it back into Odin mode, which I believe will be the fastest way to kill the battery, but I find it odd that I can get into that but not recovery? I am rooted and have TWRP installed, if that matters at all.
If you can get into Download (ODIN) mode, then letting the battery drain probably won't help, that only seems to help when the phone is completely stuck with nothing but the LED working
Make sure you flash CSC (Not HOME_CSC) along with the other 3 sections of the ROM, using ODIN 3.12.3, that should factory reset the phone after the flash
If you successfully flashed stock with ODIN already, you are no longer rooted and do not have TWRP installed, flashing stock with ODIN replaces all that with stock
I updated Odin and once again tried to flash the 4 parts, making sure I used the right CSC file, but I'm still getting hung up at the Samsung Galaxy S7 logo. Do you have a suggestion as to which region's firmware I should use? I have been trying the Australia one from SamMobile's site.
EDIT: And to clarify, I have the G930FD(the duos one).

Any region would work, and the F firmware works for the FD too
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

let me know how it goes.
Hey, I bought a galaxy note 4 which as the seller said "doesnt turn on anymore or gets stuck on boot logo".
I can confirm this issue. first time it booted up and said something with "reactivation lock" I couldn't read all cz it just rebooted and is now either stuck on boot logo or shows "recovery booting" in a blue font in the upper left corner but nothing happens. Also I can not boot into recovery mode. The hardware buttons are ok as I can click volume up during booting into download mode. I searched the whole internet and found this unbrick thread: https://pastebin.com/7KQxRRNF which I followed exactly. not the first time I'm fixing such issues but this time I'm out of knowledge. this thread didn't work it ended up in boot loop. I used the correct firmware I guess?..
there are plenty of firmwares. my model: N910F (vodafone branded I think cz it was showing a vodafone screen before it got this issue).
I tried using Samsung Kies but it says my model is not supported. same in SmartSwitch (not supported model). then I downloaded an older version of Kies 2.7 and it says connecting but even after 20 minutes or so nothing happens. I reinstalled the drivers several times, I'm using the OG Cable plugged into the motherboard directly. no hubs or frontpanel things (laptop). the only thing I can do with this phone is go into download mode. I don't know if this has something to do with this stupid reactivation lock in Download Mode it says "on". but I find only tutorials how to bypass this when you can boot the phone "aka samsung account trick". so useless for me.
Can I flash stock firmware with reactivation lock=on at all? or is that impossible? If so how can I disable this stupid lock? I never had a phone which broke my mind as hard as the note 4.. and I had many phones from many different brands and actually thought china phones like xiaomi are hard to crack or set back to stock n stuff..
Please help. I can not power it on nothing happens. battery removed for 5 minutes while holding the power key. nothing. only download mode is possible. and only if it's plugged into my pc. what the heck is wrong with this phone? sending it to support center is no option.
