Star S5 Butterfly Completely Bricked! - General Questions and Answers

guys i need serious help. i have had this device (name in title) for a while and i had it rooted. when resetting it from its menu it got stuck on android is upgrading screen for a couple of days. so i decided to restore it using sp flash tool. i went on needrom and got the latest rom from there BIG MISTAKE . i then flashed it correctly and it had booted but it would not let me use the screen because it had froze. so then forcing it to power off by removing the battery. unfortunately it never booted up again. now when trying to flash the first rom available it only shows the red bar and then i get an error ''BROM:S_ft_enable_dram_failed(4032).
i have noticed that when it booted up after flashing the rom it booted up with a htc bootanimation so the rom was a custom rom.
the setup screen also looked messed up.
i was told to right click on the preloader when it shows up and install the correct drivers manually. i did but i also noticed it had a yellow triangle and was named mt65xxx preloader. once updating it it is now called something like mediateck vcom preloader or close to that but when connecting the phone it oonly stays there for 2 seconds and disappears and never comes back unless i dissconnect and connect the phone again.
someone please help and if you need more info just message me.

[SOLVED] [Q] GT-P5113 Reboot Loop Plz Help

I ended up sending this to Samsung for repair. Luckily my tab was still under warranty. It took them 3 times to finally get it fixed correctly. First time they replaced the main board and the data link cable plug. When I got it back it lasted about an hour before it started doing the reboot loop again. So I sent it back and that time that did a software upgrade, but they obviously didn't even test it before sending it back cuz it only lasted 30 min. then it started with the reboot loop. Before I sent it back for the 3rd time I got in contact with a manager cuz I was so frustrated at this point. That time I sent the tablet directly to her to make sure it was fixed and tested before sending it back to me. I've had it for about 2 weeks now with no problems. They replaced the main board again. So either they gave me a faulty one the first time they "fixed" it or they didn't do anything to it.
So if your tab is stuck in the reboot loop and there's nothing you can do to make it stop, contact Samsung.
I bought this about 2 weeks ago and got to use it for about 5 days.
Woke up in the middle of the night cuz I kept hearing the start up sound to my tablet. So what it does is starts up then I get a prompt saying "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" I click ok and then another prompt that says "Unfortunately, Goole+ has stopped" with the choice of clicking "Report" of "Ok" then the screen freezes and it all starts again.
So I have about 3 - 5 seconds after it starts up and I've tried going in and doing a system restore but it crashes before I can do that. I have manged to go in and delete my google account but when it restarts my account is back.
So then I tried using the Odin3 program with every different file that I could find that would be compatible with my tab and it shows that it installs fine but nothing ever changes on the tab it self. I have tried using the Pit file and the stock rom, the stock rom alone, the pit file alone, twrp open recovery, clockwork open recovery, CF Auto Root, but no luck. I have tried having the auto reboot on and off and then rebooting it myself, still no change.
When I go into recovery mode it shows the android with a red triangle. and of course if I try to install anything from there it always does the signature fail. Which I'm guessing cuz it's not rooted. So at this point I am wondering is there a way to just completely wipe everything off and start completely over? I have wasted so much time on this POS I'm about to just throw it away. Any advice would be more greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Im a new member. Im have the same trouble also.
there is an endless restart cycle, and my tablet can last only for around 10 to 15 seconds power on then it will restart again and repeat the process until the battery die.
I can only power off if i connect to the power supply.
I already tried ODIN with several stock PDA files, root with CWM and philtouch, but nothing happens. Everything is passed but there is no change on the about devices after the reboot. Then it continue the endless restart again.
When i boot in original recovery, there is an error already. if i flash zip file root, there is an error in signature.
Please help me brothers and sisters.
Any luck figuring this problem out?

[Completed] [Q] i9100g recovery mode missing and download mode has an android with a 0 in it.

Hi
i recently bricked my phone while updating from stock to phils cwm recovery and my cable unplugged. After that my phone went just dead. I read on the internet and used a OMAP flash and after that i could access my download mode, but it has a yellow exclamation mark triangle and has the android mascot with a 0 in it. I dont know what that means.
Now i some how managed to put a stock rom in it (Gingerbread). But it never switches on. I keep getting a blank screen, not even the samsung bot load symbol comes up. But when ever i use a pit file to just repartition the device my phone starts up and the gingerbread os switches on. But it keeps flashing that every process of google is being forced close, so i cant even move ahead. its just stuck there, and error keeps coming up with force close pop up.
If i try to restart the device it gets the blank screen again. it works again if i repartition it.
i even tried nand flash, but it gets stuck in odin after the message Erase.....
i tried adding a new recovery to no avail. Neither does a new Android OS gets pushed in, gets stuck at NAND write start.
The phone doesnt let me access recovery also. It gets the same blank screen when i try.
help please

Hmm ... after flashing a custom (PhilZ-cwm) recovery, the yellow triangle shows that you are no longer on official/stock firmware.
You can reset it with TriangleAway app from Chainfire.
If download mode still works, you can try to flash another (custom) kernel with a custom recovery. But it has to be a kernel which is compatible with your current ROM.
For further questions, please post in the Galaxy SII GT-I9100 G Q&A thread.
If you have issues with your download mode, check the [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked I9100G thread.
Thread closed ... thank you !

Bricked!

After installing blisspop (or I don't really remember), I realized that WiFi wasn't working and neither was bluetooth so I decided to flash Extended Stock Kernel kernel, first with flashing the boot, then flashing the zip from recovery mode and even after that, the result was the same. It didn't work. Later on I went to the Phantom kernel's page and flashed that without checking that the kernel was meant for 4.4 and it bricked my device. Now, whenever the phone starts, it shows the Phantom kernel boot at start with its logo without any led light appearing below and due to that I'm unable to go into either flashmode or fastboot. It keeps restarting the Phantom boot at start and doesn't go any further. Please help!
EDIT: A more detailed version that I wrote a few months ago to the kernel's developer.

Previously I had my Xperia L reset on stock ftp then flashed the Extended Stock Kernel on it. Since the wifi wasn't working, I tried to download R17 and flashed it through CWM and now the phone keeps restarting on the Phantom Logo. It shows the logo, waits for about 10 seconds then restarts and the same keeps repeating. I saw it was for Kitkat but then too I insisted on installing. I can't access neither bootloader nor recovery mode. The light which comes when the Phantom Logo pops doesn't appear either. Can you help me please? Anything would be greatly appreciated. I know I did a stupid thing but I really don't want to give up on this device.

[Completed] Verizon LGG3 VS985 not booting

Hello
I am new to working on these phones so I apologize in advance if I don't properly state any processes or terms correctly.
I have a stock non modded Verizon LGG3 VS985 that experienced problems with WiFi and Bluetooth not working and significant battery drain. This happened right after a recent update to marshmallow. I tried cache clearing, safe mode, hard reset and nothing solved the problem. I decided I wanted to take the phone back to factory condition. I started with the LG flash tool that uses the .tot and a .dll. I ran the flash and when the program got to approx. 80%(at checking mini os phase of the flash) the phone began to reboot and only got as far as the LG logo and after about 2 min of the phone trying to reboot the flash program said fail, usb connect or something like that. At this point the phone will only start and go into a loop that includes the vibrate and the LG logo. and that will cycle until I believe the battery would die if allowed. I then found a link here at XDA (https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/guide-flash-to-stock-10b-kdz-method-t2928140) that uses the KDZ method, was well written and easy to follow. I ran it on the phone and it was going great. The flash program got to 88% and the phone went into the boot loop with the vib and LG logo . The flash program continued to run until it was complete while the phone was in the boot loop and it got to 100% and said that the software installed. I powered down the phone via battery removal and now when it tries to boot it vibes, shows the lg log and then the green android symbol shows for about 2 seconds and then it does it all over again. I have tried a hard reset and nothing changes. I appreciate any ideas any of you may have on what I can try to get this resolved. Thank you.

Alcatel pixi 4 (6) stuck on alcatel logo please help!

Hi there first let me say sorry for any spelling mistakes i have dyslexia and its hard for me to spot everything when i look over it so sorry
now down to buissness i have an Alcatel 4 (6) 4g from argos in the uk i think the model on the phone shows as 9001X but also shows as 9001D when you connect wondershare or other tools
i broke the screen on the device and took it to one of thoes little shops in the mall to get it fixed when there the guy told me he could root the device for you for me at the same time i thought yeh cool save me from doing it my self
when i went back to get the phone later that day it worked good in fact perfect he had rooted the device using king root and all was working good the device was working but then it suddenly rebooted out of the blue when it was led on a table
when the device started back up king root was still installed as a system app but it showed the device as not having any root access witch i thought was weird but i just left it like that while i made a few phone calls but again half way through a phone call the device restarted it self again
this time when the phone started back up it showed the pixi 4 logo and then the alcatel logo and refused to move any further its just stuck on this screen. I looked on XDA for a fix but couldnt fine anything for my model the 9001X/D i found one page that said you can format using recovery mode
i held down the power and volume up buttons and got access to the reovery menu and done a factory install and then restarted the phone but again got stuck on the alcatel screen
i sent alcatel an email asking for a stock image to flash from recovery or something but i got no email from them i then tried to use the upgrade tool from the alcatel website witch i thought would do it the phone was found and the upgrade tool started but at 2% but then i get a red error saying failed to read some ingformation check phone status but the phone is turned off as per the instuctions and nothing is on the screen
i cant find a stock image anywhere cant get the tool to work when i goto recovery and tell the phone to reboot into bootloader mode to run fastboot its never worked even when the phone was working it would simply say waiting for devices on cmd also in recovery if i enable adb still finds nothing i have no idea what i can do to get anything working or reset the phone at all
does anyone know what i can do or have an image that would work anything at all my phone only like 2 months old and i dont know what todo as the stall is no longer in the mall to go back to
