Are you on stock firmware and stock update?
Power off your phone and hold power, volume up, and menu button simultaneously, when the screen turns on (samsung Gt-I9300 shows up) then leave the power button ONLY. Then you'll show up to recovery, there wipe user data/factory reset and wipe cahce (partition) and reboot. Wait for some time as it will take some time to boot up...... Another thing, use volume buttons to navigate and power button to select in recovery

Check the rom was compatible for your device ???
Just open cwm recovery , wipe cache , dalvic cache , data and factory reset . Flash again the rom and reboot your device . After 5-10 min. your device will start .
Hope I helped . Don't forgot to click :thumbup: button .

[Q] LG G2 Soft Brick after OTA...Help?

Just took the Lollipop OTA update from stock 4.4.2. Upon completion my phone rebooted and is stuck on the LG boot logo. I tried entering download mode (holding volume up button and plugging phone into computer) but my phone doesn't enter it. Attempting to power off the phone doesn't work either, since the phone just powers off for a second and turns back on to the boot logo. I tried factory reset (power + volume down) and after proceeding with the reset the phone is still stuck on boot logo. What should I do?

You can power off if you hold power button longer. wait till logo appears, and still hold, till it gone away second time, and hold even a little longer.

Turns off but still stuck at logo when turned on

I have the same problem with the friend who posted first. There is no way on how to get to fastboot mode and when turned on it just restarts and back to logo. Hard reset is the only thing it allows me to try but no result. Any possible way to get to fastboot or download mode??? Help somebdyy

After i flashed the Lollipop firmware, it looked like the phone got stuck with LG logo but i gave it good 5 to 6 minutes and all was fine. The phone just needed to breathe a little.

Samsung Galaxy S6 stuck in bootloop and no way to power down phone?

Hello XDA
I have a GS6 (international) stuck in bootloop. I need to go into recovery mode to fix it. However, my phone is restarting and stuck in bootloop. I cannot power down the phone from this state and I cannot enter recovery or download mode. I would like to know if there is a special button combination to completely shut down the phone (power button from this state does not work)
Thank You
(ps. ask for further information if you need it)

Samsung Galaxy S10 Bootloop, Accidental Wipe System With TWRP and CAN'T access recovery mode/download mode.

Pretty sure I can't do anything at this point, but just wanted to give it one last try. My problem was after I flashed TWRP I went into TWRP recovery mode and did a factory reset. I booted into system and it was just loading with the phrase "starting android" so i decided to go into recovery mode and wipe everything (i know i'm an idiot). It's my first time doing this so yea... but moving on I thought that would solve the problem but now I have a bootloop because i had also wiped system and basically i'm ****ed. I tried going into recovery mode and download mode again but i couldn't because of the bootloop. Tried combinations like volume up + power button, volume up + volume down + power button, volume down + power button. When it's in bootloop it shows "samsung galaxy s10" logo (not the "samsung" logo) and then a warning saying i have the bootloader unlocked and then another "samsung galaxy s10" logo with the warning/sign saying "The phone is not running Samsung's official software. You may have problems with features or security. and you won't be able to install software updates.". Model: SM-G973F CSC: SIN ||| NOTE: I AM NOT AN EXPERT WITH ANY OF THIS STUFF SO IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OR IDEAS PLEASE COMMENT, IM LITERALLY IN NEED OF ANY IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS T_T.

nvm, i accidentally got into download mode and followed a yt vid online and it worked.
