M8 box not booting - General Questions and Answers

Hi
I've searched for threads with the same issue but can't find any. I turned my M8 box on this evening and it was stuck in a bootloop. after searching online I found out there is a reset button in the av port so i've done a factory reset. The only problem is it gets stuck when trying to boot back up again. with the little android guy and a warning to not power off. it's been like this for well over an hour at this stage. I was going to try and flash a custom rom. but my SD card slot is broken. is there any way to flash a custom rom to this box using a usb drive? Or is the box just a paper weight at this stage? Any suggestions you might have are more than welcome
thank you in advance

Boot Problems

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:

Have you tried reflashing the original ROM using Flash Tools (everything from Needrom ...)?
Me too
I also did a thing like this. I rooted the phone and it workd, than I tryed to install xPosed, it robooted, but the screen turned black. Than I started the phone in recovery mode and tried a factory reset, it turned black and now I think it's bricked. When i put off and put on the battery it makes a short logo animation and than turns black.
I tried with sp flah tool but it doesn't start or not recognise the phone, the driver are installed but with my pc and my laptop it doens't work. I hear the sound of when I connect and disconnect the phone, but apart from that it's dead. Please help me!

[Q] "working phone", but black screen after the boot logo

Hello guys,
some days ago my phone was permantly booting up in the recovery mode nothing else was possible. As I was on road and couldn't access internet anywhere I just tried to do some wipes, which then made my phone not show anything. I guess the reason that it didn't boot up anymore was that the battery was fully drained. When I was finally back home I was able to charge my phone but then the following happend:
I can start my OPO, see the android logo and then it turns black, but it fully boots up. I mean I can even click the touchscreen and hear some touch reactions/sounds. Also I'm able to turn up/down the volume and hear my phone. Furthermore I'm also able to do the "V-gesture" to turn on the flashlight. When I boot up into fastboot mode I also see the message "fastboot mode" + the little cyanogen face.
All in all everything seems to work, aside that I dont see anything else than dark after the logo.
I tried flashing new roms, stock reset, like seriously anything, but I can't get my phone to work probably again.
Does that mean that my phone got some hardware problems, maybe the touchscreen?
Help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
btw: English isn't my first language, so please excuse any mistakes.
You'll have to try flashing completely stock CM11 rom or CM12 rom, img by img in fastboot..modem, boot, system etc. I helped a friend who had this kind of problem. Probably not the cleanest way, but at least it works.
Already did that 3times using different methods. Stock CM11, CM12 and colorOS
I have a similar problem, did you manage to fix it? And if so, how?
Thanks,
Capelare.

[Q] LG Logo Soft Brick After TWRP Format

Okay so I'm pretty new to the whole forums thing so please bare with me a bit. I flashed CloudyG2 3.1 and wanted to do a a factory reset so that I could start anew but whenever I tried doing so it would fail and lead me to TWRP. So I tried doing the format through there and then that's when I believe it even deleted my OS. Now the only thing it does is sit at the LG boot logo while the notification light slowly flashes blue and green. I can still go into TWRP but am unable to go into download mode. I've tried sideloading but whenever I connect my phone to a pc (I've tried multiple cables and pc's) I get a message that says "The last USB device you connected to this computer was malfunctioned". I went to get my port replaced and they said the screen stopped working so they put in my old one. I don't know if I should just get the port switched to the new one and try to flash it and pray the screen turns on afterwards or is there a way to get this USB to work. Any advice would help a lot! Thank you!

Unbrick ZenPad Z170CG

It's stuck at the ASUS logo. A friend gave it to me to fix since it wouldn't download apps from google play which led me to believe that it had software problems so I decided to update it. It's worth noting that it kinda bricked itself after factory resetting before the current brick. It wouldn't boot and it was stuck at the ASUS logo, but somehow it fixed itself after several reboots. After it fixed had itself, the problem with not being able to download apps was still present. One time I turned it off and it wouldn't turn back on. I tried to go into recovery, but then I realized that the recovery was gone too. It was stuck at "no command" screen, so the only way to modify the files was through the bootloader. I found a firmware zip with the .bin files in it, so I flashed them one by one and I got the recovery back. Installed the update via a good sd card and it was stuck at the ASUS logo. I sideloaded it through recovery and got the same result. I also tried sideloading it through the bootloader which also gave me the same result. I'm all out of options I can think of. If anyone has any idea, please share it.
Thanks in advance!
