Hello, i recently turned on my galaxy s7 to find something very strange. It turns on when i plug it in but strait away shows the samsung galaxy s7 logo. Then, it suddenly shows the installing update screen for about 3 seconds the reboots, and then it does the same thing. I tried to get into recover mode but it says somethung about android files missing. I have never flashed or tampered with the phone, what is happening? Why does my windows 10 pc say "USB device malfunctioned"? Please help

Your battery is probably dying. Phones do weird things when it happens.

in other words, you didn't use the phone for 4 months, meaning the battery likely would've been completely flattened.
it's worth leaving it switched off and charging for a long time, overnight at least. use the official charger and charging cable too if you can. then see what it does.
Hi, is phone recognized when in Download mode ?

Hello,
I have a big problem. Have a few weeks ago rooted my Samsung Galaxy with
"One Click Lag Fix" and "z4root" for the file system "ext2"
Yesterday I put my phone to the PC and gravel immediately make a firmware update to JPM7 (I think to know.)
Now my phone will not boot. Or it starts already have, but only up to a glowing "S". Then it vibrated repeatedly at irregular intervals. That was it
Have been out of battery, battery clean. A few hours leave. The three-button trick tried, but nothing works. If I turn it on the PC to plug in, it will be charged only similar but not as a mass storage device detected.
Is there hope for me?
Thanks before.
Ok this is kinda silly, but it happened.
I was charging my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT something (UK version) via the chargeable USB port on my Samsung n150 notepad with the laptop switched off. During this time I was playing N.O.V.A 3 on my Galaxy S3.
As I was playing I switched the laptop on. As the phone was already charging via the USB I didnt think there would be a probably. But when Windows booted to my log in screen, the phone froze and switched off. Now my Galaxy will not switch on. I can only get it to charge and thats all.
Please help!!

Wait so you have the international version? Shouldn't you post this in that forum? This is Verizon.

Agreed and that is strange how that worked op. Never heard of anything like that. Tried a battery pull I assume?
Sent from a strange blue box hurtling through time and space.
Need more info first. Can you get into DL mode? Recovery? The only thing I could think of would be a power surge when you turned the laptop on caused the phone to fail (highly unliklely).
While browsing through our list of threads reported as 'Newsworthy' for the XDA Portal, I just came across this one. I wonder whose big idea was to report it as newsworthy. Whoever that was needs a healthy dose of common sense.
PS: Mods, can you please move it to the appropriate forum i.e. the one for the international version?
Happened to a Verizon GS3
My Verizon GS3 was turned completely unresponsive (absolutely dead), with no boot of any sort after I unplugged and then plugged in a USB DAC (Fiio E7). I had been using the E7 for several days but today connecting it to the GS3 through USB To Go killed it.
I have read other instances of the same phenomenon.
Ok, so my Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus has stopped completely operating. When you turn it on, it shows the Samsung Trend Plus logo, but before the boot animation, it gets stuck to a black screen (The screen color is black, the screen does not close). Whenever I press any of the phone's buttons, It will vibrates. It does that every 4-5 times and then theres a long vibration. The phone is rooted, but it runs for about 5 months with root. Im using an alcatel less powerfull charger to charge, due to the reason the official samsung one was broken. Yesterday, I mengled around with GravityBox (But I have GravityBox and Xposed framework since root) on the Navbar settings, and after the phone rebooted, It constantly said [SystemUI has stopped]. This had happened to me like a month ago again, but then I just reflashed the Official Rom via Odin. This time, I chose to just delete SystemUi's apk from /system/apps and then copy it back to the phone from my pc. The phone worked perfectly for a day after that, but when I went to take it out of my pocket at the evening, it was closed, even though 1 hour ago it had like 37% battery. So, I charged, and when It finished, I went to open and the Black Screen problem came out. I can't neither boot in recovery nor Download Mode

So, it seems your battery is dead, this is nothing to do with software (unless the stock rom killed it), so, buy a new one, or see if it is covered by the warranty

Yes, but when I put it in the charger, it shows the charging animation....... And then if the battery is dead, how can it power the vibrations and the screen?

I just tried a different battery, because I have a second Trend Plus, which works perfectly. It still has the same problem.

Sorry for answering a few months later, but I have to say that I had found a solution, which was the fact my Home Button wouldn't be presed in order to get in DOwnload Mode.
I appreaciate all your help.
Note: This is different than other "Stuck at boot screen" posts. It has a different case and I couldn't find any solution relevant to this problem.
I dropped my note 2 and battery got out of it after hitting the ground. I put the battery back in and restarted the phone, it worked fine for sometime. Then it crashed and restarted with a strange behavior. It loaded first screen showing Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 and kept on restarting without even responding to power+home+volume up keys combination. It turns on, stays on the Samsung note II screen for a couple of seconds and restarts. Then I took out the battery and plugged in another one (I keep an extra battery with me) and phone started working. What could have possibly gone wrong with the battery when it dropped and if the battery got damaged, I guess it shouldn't even be able to turn on the phone and make it keep restarting? Has anyone experienced this case?
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I don't know why you are experiencing this. What happens when you put the original battery back in? It might have just been a random error.

Just to make it clear,
Put the original battery
Turn on the phone
Shows first screen saying "Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100"
Stays on it for a couple of seconds
Restarts
Keeps repeating (Doesn't respond to Power key or Power+Home+VolumeUp key combination)
Forcefully remove the battery
Plug another battery
Turn on the phone
Works fine

Have you tried the kies method in reviving your phone? Have you tried to poweroff the device for about 20 minutes and tried again?

How long is this while? It could be possible that you completely discharged the battery so much that it has no power to get power (it is complicated, but it is actually how that works and is quite common if you just leave your device).

I left it over night not charging and must have no power to even get power like you said ..
I had it on charge for like an hour and not a bit of power in it unfortunately.
So does that mean its messed up and no good ?

S6 uses Smart Switch, not Kies, that's for most older devices.
If your device will not charge normally, you may be able to somehow externally charge the battery.
