Tried to power on my S6 this morning and it just got stuck at the Samsung logo with black screen and then the blue screen.
- It cannot be turned off
- Tried Power + Menu + Vol Down and it just loops the same thing
- Tried recovery mode Power + Menu + Up but it is not responding/going into this menu
- Also there was no update applied was just turned off normally last night.
Would like to factory reset it but cannot get to any menu that will let me do that, any advice on how I can do that?
So I finally got into recovery mode after letting the battery die but I don't want to do a factory reset just yet, I need to get some data from the phone first. How can I do that? Nothing happens when connected to my PC

I'm having the exact same issue, however after letting battery run out and putting it back on power it just began looping into and then getting stuck in blue screen again. Did you end up finding a fix? Google doesnt seem to know this issue...

The phone is stock, not rooted, phone was trying to connect to wifi when it happened, it turned off, and keeps trying to turn on, but shuts down again, i would very much like to get the photos before i set it back to factory settings in the recovery menu

What was your battery status before this happened? if it was really low that could be the issue.

will your computer detect your phone at all? maybe you can root it then flash a ROM and keep all of your stuff.
1. How could you do a factory reset if the phone wont start up?
2. Can you get it into bootloader mode by holding VolDown?
3. If so, can you enter recovery? (Reason for asking: on custom recoveries like Clockworkmod and I assume TWRP you can use adb from a computer, if this works in stock recovery it should be easy to pull any file from the sdcard partition)
4. Tried holding powerbutton for 10 or 30 seconds ( I forget...) to force reboot?
5. A battery pull might work, search youtube for "directfix htc one s" and youll find a video how to disconnect battery)
You can factory reset through HBOOT menu, if he can get into it.

1. From the bootloader menu.
2. Yes i can get into the bootloadermenu by holding the volume and powerbutton.
3. Can also enter recovery, in the same bootloader screen, but when i open recovery, i get the green icon with the two arrows arround, but after a while it pops up a red triangle, and after this the phone starts to boot again, with no sucess.
4. Tryed this with no sucess, reboot, but will not turn on.
5. Battery pull will not work on this htc.
I dont care if the phone dont turn on, i can send it to the repair shop, but i would very much like to get the pics out of it before set it to factorysettings, or i send itin for rep.
I have seen programs that can get back deleted pics from a hard drives or memory cards, do you guys think this will work if the phone turns on after i do a factory reset
Took a factory reset today, and downloaded a program to my pc to recover lost data from the phone, but it did not find anything But the phone looks ok now
Well, I am quite certain i have bricked my phone. I was trying to flash CM9 from openrecovery and everything was normal. When the phone rebooted out of OR it stayed on the M logo for quite some time. I figured usually it takes awhile so I let it go. Needless to say, it didn't boot up or do anything, it was stuck. I pulled the battery and tried to put it into recovery mode. at first it looked as if it was going to go into recovery, had the progress bar at the bottom, but then it quickly went blank and the phone rebooted. I tried again. This time it gave me the triangle with the exclamation mark. I tried accessing the recovery option to hard reset and wipe the phone both with and without the SD card by pressing Volume up + Gallery key down + camera shutter. It did nothing. I have tried to access the bootloader, but to my horror, the phone will not go into bootloader mode for me to flash with RSD! No matter what button combination I try the phone just stays on the M logo, it will not go into bootloader mode. This is both with and without the SD card inserted. Battery is/should be 90-100%.
Any suggestions on what I can do at this point? Or is all hope lost? It is a Motorola XT720 (not Motoroi) Singapore model.
I forgot to also mention, when the M logo is on screen, pressing the gallery button turns on and off the flashlight (red light)
Hey all,
Earlier today I tried to update from stock 9.18.94.xt926 to KitKat. Unfortunately after the system shutdown and the package tried to install it failed and rebooted to advice me of so. I read online that I should attempt a factory reset before upgrading.
So, I went to settings -> security -> factory reset.
The phone shut off and entered reset mode with the Green Android and a Blue Matrix swirling on its belly.
Since then, the phone has been stuck on this same screen. Additionally, on this page, if I press the volume up/down butts on twice a yellow text appears showing...
'
ge 1/1
Formatting /data...
'
Turning the phone on and off with power + volume down results in the same screen.
The only way I can get the phone to boot is by pressing power + up, then choosing something besides factory reset on the recovery page.
However, when the phone boots its as if it is a brand new device. Additionally, if I am to power down the device, it reboots into the familiar Green Android and Blue matrix page.
Is there any way to fix this issue?
Thanks,
-Tsoju

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.
I was trying to flash my s21+ g996b with Odin and it failed at the beginning so I restarted the phone but it turned off after showing the Samsung logo the same thing happens if I try to go to recovery mode or safe mode thus I can't access them.
When I try plugging in the phone to my PC (or just charging with the adapter) it just keeps showing the logo like before and restarting shortly after and I can't stop it from looping.
Is there something I can do to stop the looping or go to recovery mode ?
I already have backed up my data, please let me now if there is anything I can do even if it means reset factory, etc.
So I got into download mode by pressing and holding vol up + vol down and then connecting the phone to the P.C. after. I did finally install the firmware, and all is good now.
Also, there are a bunch of different ways other people tried here, which I thought might help.
P.S. the original problem that led to broken firmware was a faulty cable.
