Hi. When updating to Mango at part 7 of 9 my phone turned off but after some time it did manage to reload on it's own and had the Mango update but no Samsung firmware so the screen and buttons were dead. Whatever happened had caused it to only load the Samsung boot screen and then keep rebooting as others had happen.
I flashed it as recommended but because of the constant rebooting it cannot finalise the ROM install once it comes out of download mode.
So I'm stuck as to what to try next. Nothing happens when I press vol down/camera/power to do a reset and nothing happens when i press camera after turning on to bring up the connect to a pc option to try the WPSupportToolv2.
Any ideas how to get past this and get a ROM installed or have I broken it to the point it'll need sending off to Samsung?
Cheers

EDIT: As an update to this I have flashed using the latest patched version of WP7 Downloader 7.41 and tried using the engineer Mango update and various others. with the latest downloader it does not require a restart - infact I think I got this wrong in the first place.
But I'm still getting the same result of constant reboot on the Samsung boot screen every 2-3 seconds.
I give up.
Hi,
So my SGS2 Skyrocket is stuck in a boot loop. I've have the Sky Icecream Sandwich ROM installed for a few months now, and haven't changed anything recently.
What is happening is my phone with vibrate every 2-3 seconds with a blank screen. When I take out the battery/power source, and put it back in, the phone shows the Samsung splash (not the Android splash) for a few seconds, then goes blank and does the vibrating again.
I've tried plugging it into the computer, but the power it gets from USB turns it on and into the boot loop, so I can't get it into any kind of recovery mode. I also tried the Vol+Home+Power key combo, with nothing.
Any idea what could cause this/what the course of action should be? Thanks!
Turn phone on and wait 2 hours. If it wont work do what you use to do when you booting recovery mode. (home screen i guess). But hold it longer.
Good luck
nathan-96, do you have any idea what caused this? Because what's concerning me is that it's not getting past the Samsung icon (before android starts actually booting).
When you say turn it on, do you mean just put in the battery? Because the loop starts right when I put the battery in, it doesn't wait for me to press anything.
No, I meant turning it on. Hold centre button and put battery in. Just hold it for a moment. Hopefully you will reach recovery.

Can you access download mode instead of recovery? If so you could try re flashing something with Odin...
Definitely try getting the battery out for a few minutes and boot the phone while maintaining the combination to enter recovery

You have CWM on your phone? Have you visited the forum for your device?

AT&T Skyrocket BOOT LOOP Cyanongenmod 10
Hi ,
I´am playing with my Skyrocket to run the Cyanogenmod 10 and always I got stuck at Boot Loop .
This is what I have and did :
- Running AT&T Stock ICS 4.0.4 UCFL6 rooted ( I have a back up of this)
- CWM 6.0.1
- Cyanogenmod 10 Nightly Dec 07 , but I also tried with Cyanogenmod 10 Stable
- Gapps
- Factory Reset / wipe cache
- Wipe dalvik
- Mount/storage format system
- install using CWM Cyanogenmod
- install using CWM gapps
- Mount/ storage format cache
- reboot
I also tried to wipe twice as other threads say.
So I´am still with the boot loop
I returned my backup to the ICS ...
Thanks in advance !!!
Skyrocket Bootloop
Whats happening is the power button acts as if its being pressed. Thats why you have the bootloop and the phone turns on as soon as you put the battery in.
Try repeating pressing the power button or hold the power button without the battery for a few seconds. :fingers-crossed:
Hi guys.
As i recently installed TwistedKat and charged my phone over night because the battery was empty i couldnt turn off the screen via power button anymore. Longpressing it still shows the menu but i cant turn off the screen at all. What was also quite amazing is that the bootscreen doesnt come up anymore, its just a black screen instead of the twistedkat logo.
Im on TwistedKat 2.6
Using the Icecode Kernel from the 28. march since i cannot download the latest version.
Any ideas what this could be?
(Wiping caches also doesnt help i tried that a few times)
Edit: the problem also happened while i was on another rom - vanir - i solved the problem by doing a fresh install but since its happening again i would love to know what causes this problem.
A couple weeks ago I messed up my phone trying to flash a custom ROM. I'm just know fixing it and I just flashed my models ROM. (S4 US Cellular)
Here's my problem:
I installed CyanogenMod via SD Card, I flashed it, when I rebooted it flashed CyanogenMod and had the logo with arrows spinning around it, that moment of hope and pride lasted a mere 6 seconds as the screen turned off immediately. I tried booting it into recovery mode but all it does is show "Samsung Galaxy S4" and it turns off after a while. When I boot into Download Mode and hit "Restart" it does the same. I need help, thanks in advance!
Hi, I am very new to this stuff so please excuse any dumb questions or improper terms.
I was attempting to install CM 12 on my GS4 running 4.4.4. Google search "install android 5.0.2 lollipop on tmobile galaxy s4" and click on the true android one. (XDA prevents me from posting outside links)
I tried to install TWRP recovery by downloading TWRP manager from the Play Store. I selected my phone and installed the package that ended in .zip. It alerted me that something was wrong so canceled it and installed the other package ending in .img. This one installed. Then it asked me if I wanted to reboot into recovery now. I did so and my phone turned off and turned back on.
It showed the normal Samsung logo with the blue "recovery booting" text. It never booted into recovery mode.
If I hold down the power button my phone turns off, and then a few seconds later it turns back on, right into the recover booting loop.
If I take out the battery and put it back in, it does not turn on automatically, but if I press the power button it goes into the loop.
I love my phone and I'm really nervous. Is my phone bricked? PLEASE HELP!!!
