Hi, my Shield is stuck on its boot screen, the one with the green shield and the mist whatever. I've tried restarting it but nothing is happening. I don't even know what caused it, I just picked it up and opened it and it was on its boot screen. Last thing I knew before it, it was working perfectly fine. I don't have recovery installed... It is rooted but I doubt that would cause this... any help?

That's happened to me before.have you tried leaving it off for a few minutes and then restarting it. maybe try while its on the charger.If that doesn't solve it I would attempt to boot into stock recovery and perform a FDR. either way someone will get you back up and running again.

I left it off all night and after I turned it on again this morning it's still stuck. I've tried it both on and off the charger, won't work either way.

That's supposed to happen.you need to press home and back I believe to get the menu to pop up. might not be those buttons but there is a button combination to get it to popup.

Well yes, I hold home and back when I turn it on, and it brings me to a screen with these options:
Continue
Restart Bootloader
Recovery mode
Reboot
Poweroff
Selecting "Recovery mode" just brings me to a screen that says "no command". I tried doing various button commands to try and make something happen, but nothing happens.

I realize that but Keep trying there's a two button combo to get the RECOVERY MENU to show up. If you can't get it I'll go get my shield and flash the stock recovery so i can figure it out.

Nvidia Shield Portable
My sons Shield Portable is stuck on the screen that has a dead looking Android that says no command after trying to install a factory update. I have tried holding down the power button the home button and back button to try and recover. The recovery mode did nothing. The restart bootloader did nothing. I have pressed the power button and the home button at same time to try and wipe the data. I did wipe and hit the factory reset once I did that I hit reboot. when it started back up it still says the same thing. Please help
same problem
I have the same problem if anyone knows the combo to go straight into recovery I would really appreciate it.

Hey guys sorry if this is the wrong place but i rooted and installed a custom rom on my shield but regretted it right away because i loved the button mapper. Now when i try to flash the recovery.img via adb it fails every time i dont suppose anyone can help at all been stuck like this for ages now driving me mad my son cant use it now because he needs the button mapper for his games lol im not stuck on a boot screen but seeking any help i can at all
Cheers guys
After playing around with different roms/kernels/bootloaders on my 930f i arrived at an impasse. I must have installed an incompatible combination of bl/kernel/rom because i am stuck at the bootlogo.
I can not switch off the phone (or at least i don't know how). Pressing vol down + home + power reboots the phone but i can not get into download mode to fix it with odin like i did so many times before.
Any ideas are appreciated!
Try keeping those 3 button combos pressed, when it reboots the first time, keep them pressed, let it reboot a second time and see if it enters download mode
That worked. Thank you!
Do you have an idea why this is needed?

Not sure why it gets stuck at the logo, just can't complete the boot process for whatever reason, but usually it wouldn't be an issue because we'd just remove the battery and get on with fixing it, but now we don't have that option we notice when it gets stuck a lot more lol

Try using the button combo to reboot. Hold down power+volume up+volume down and see if it will reboot.
If it fails to boot into the OS I'd try to flash back to the stock firmware using all of the Odin files.
Did the Samfail process in ODIN fail or did the phone fail during boot?
Either way you should be okay. However if you can't get it to flash back to stock you may have bricked it, at least a softbrick.

Yes, BlueFox721 has posted the correct method to get out of upload/cp-crash or some other semi-bricked mode.
To recap it, keep holding down Vol Down + Power buttons only, until you see the screen starts rebooting, then release both buttons. Sometimes the reboot may take up to a few minutes, and make sure that the battery is charged at least 50%, otherwise it will fail.
If it keeps booting back into upload/cp-crash or some other weird mode, then hold down the above buttons again, but this time as soon as you see the reboot, do not release them but also quickly hold down the BIXBY button along with first two, which should kick you into download mode (or use a download jig). Then re-flash with full stock firmware using Odin. You may have to try both the normal and patched versions, sometimes it works with the first or the other (when you see a model fail error).

The less than 100% battery charging issue could be caused by several reasons, here they are:
1. The phone was flashed with an eng-boot/kernel which has a charge limitation built in. To fix it, reflash with full stock firmware.
2. The battery may have weakened or about to go bad (check the voltage and capacity with a multi meter first). To fix it, replace the battery.
3. The charging circuit may have gotten damaged from an over-current spike, or the port has been physically damaged either mechanically or by liquid damage.
To fix it, you can try replacing the small circuit board along with the port, or perform the world famous "BillA Bypass" (lol), whereby I physically modify the main circuit board to force charge the battery by bypassing the charging circuit entirely.
Or just refresh samFAILure that's what I did

Can you at least boot into download mode in order to reflash the files? Can you even get into recovery mode or anything? What happens when you hold the volume down button and the power button until the phone turns off? Try holding the volume down button and the power button and as soon as the phone shuts off let both of those buttons go and then hold only the volume up button and see what happens.
Nope, the only thing that occurs is the screen shuts off then goes back Upload mode: Unknow error. I even tried UBreakFix store and they couldn't fix it either. It won't go to recovery mode or Download mode at all.

If it was mine I would try flashing something while it's in upload mode just to see what would happen.. Other than that, it sounds like the phone's done for. Maybe it's internal memory quit working?

If you get to the upload mode screen, press volume down + power buttons until the upload mode screen shuts down (screen goes black). IMMEDIATELY press volume up + bixby + power buttons and keep pressing until you see recovery screen

So, today my dad bought me a new phone because i needed one, an S10e. And i, like a massive idiot, decided to flash it with TWRP to try and root it. It worked, sort of, TWRP recovery worked fine, but the phone was in a boot loop when it wasnt in recovery. So i decided to flash the stock firmware, only that it got stuck on the System part when i flashed it with Odin, so i had the brilliant idea to disconnect and try again, except i ended up bricking the entire download mode. I cant turn off my phone, nor can i go into recovery mode, everytime i try to turn off the phone, it boots up back into the download mode with the Smart Switch error, no warnings, no cancels, nothing. Just the error screen. Now if i try to flash it again with Odin on the error screen, it gets stuck on Boot.
Am i royally ****ed to the point where i cant send it to the store? I got it today so i thought i could take it back to where i bought the phone for a replacement or repair, but if not then i honestly dont know what to do. I tried using Kies or Smart Switch for restoration, but they dont even recognise it.
Ooohh...So sorry. Im going to look around for some help for you.
I used to do this but havent the need in years with the new technologies.
Better to ask over at the Magisk root thread in the regular S10 forum.
You can call Samsung and if its under warranty they can walk you through or do it while connected to your computer.

you should be able to get into download even after that error
just take out the usb cable and hold power + bixby+ vol down to force reboot then just hold bixy and vol down and plug the cable then you are back into download mode and restore your phone. It's not messed up
Search on youtube s9 download mode.

Thats the thing, if i hold vol down and power for the 7 secs to get out of download mode, it automatically boots itself back into download mode without any "press vol up to continue" and stuff, its just the constant "an error has occured while updating system software" screen and absolutly nothing else, and like i said, i tried to reflash all the firmware back to stock, but odin just stops at Boot, and a message appears on the error screen saying a PIT check failed (thinking about it, i could just be that i downloaded the wrong firmware, i dont actually know what country the phone was made in, and if it helps, i bought it in Lithuania, and i unlocked it with a Lithuanian SIM card, so im not sure what country firmware i should get. One strange thing: i remember looking at the display case at the salon i bought the phone at, and it said that the phone has the Snapdragon CPU chipset, but if that was true then i wouldnt be able to have unlocked my bootloader for Odin in the first place)

Use smart switch, please follow the instructions in this video
You need IMEI and Serial number which can be found on the box of your phone or it will be embedded in the back glass
I believe on the newer version of smart switch you have to enable device Initialization from the preferences tab

This is so odd. Ideally a picture of the error screen would really help here. It's usually pretty darn difficult to brick a Samsung phone.

Try Chimera tool. It can fix dead boot. You may need to short test point of your phone so that the software recognises your phone.
