Searched but not found a similar problem that has a solution. I ran my battery dead by mistake and now all it does is restart after a few seconds on semaphore logo if unplugged, or keep looping buffering circle/battery charge symbol when plugged in. 3BC takes it to download mode but it again restarts after a few seconds...no way near enough to flash anything. Any Ideas?
I was running latest makay rom (2.8.0) and Semaphore 2,9,15s......this seems pretty fatal to me but if someone knows better ill be a very happy man.
Thanks.
Keep it plugged in for a few hours and see if this fixes it.
I have quite the same issue with my SGS i9000. Im running on slim bean 4.1.2 i think and semaphore (quessing the same as above)
So the battery got drained to zero. I charged the battery to full capacity while my phone was turned off. It did this okay and charged battery to 100%. Then i booted my phone only to find out it to start looping in boot. (Start screen to semaphore and then restarts.)
i removed the battery for about an hour, and rebooted the phone but it didn't help at all.
Can't get into recovery (vol up + home + power), though it did go into download mode.

As i plugged my phone in in to charger it shows as the battery would be empty,but it doesn't begin to charge it.
Ill be happy to answer if i forgot to mention something important according this matter.
If you can go into download mode but not recovery mode, there is only one thing that you can do - flash an odin rom.

ill try that.
Thanks for the quick answer. Now lets see if that helps..
Tried keeping it plugged in for a few hours but with no joy, odin still recognises the device for the tiny bit of time that the phone it stays on, seen a few comments suggesting it's a battery problem. Have ordered a new one and will see what happens then. The old one was made in Sept 2010 and rarely been turned off since,so i guess its probably to be expected. Will post back when i get the new battery for other peoples future reference.

Hello
I have a Samsung Galaxy S exactly with this problem.
It has cyanogen mod installed.
When i try to turn it on, it shows the default Samsung logo, and then the cyanogen mod screen, it blinks, and displays the cyanogen mod again. After that it reboots and returns do displaying the Samsung logo. ... Inifinite loop!
When i try to plug it in to charge, it shows the battery logo, and a "waiting" or "starting" to charge, blinks, reboots, starts recharging, another loop.
Both loops only stops by removing the battery.
Exactly as this thread describes.
Also, i cannot enter recovery mode: volume up + home + power, but it can enter download mode: volume down + home + power.
Is there any way of getting it to boot other than deleting everything on the phone, as i assume reflashing it would do?

I also can't enter recovery, doesn't have time to boot that far. If it is like mine then you will be unable to stay in download mode for long enough to flash anything...if you can get to download and it not reboot again, you have some hope. You could possibly flash a different kernel via odin, semaphore possibly, and see if that helps, but if not you would have to flash back to stock and re-root etc (data will be lost). I will report back when i get a new battery and see if that is the issue (Friday Hopefully), I feel it might be battery issue because my ROM had been running perfectly for days and it started when i let battery completely discharge.

Flashing will only delete app data. All your photos and music files will remain.
Just an update... Battery hasn't arrived yet due to snow here. But just by chance I left the phone bootlooping without charger in and it randomly decided to not bootloop. Was able to flash stock with odin root, upgrade to CM 10.1 and restore my nandroid. Oh well.

[SOLVED]
I recovered my Galaxy Y(s5360) by flashing another kernel from recovery mode in those few seconds for which recovery mode was starting...
I tried that but got soft brick, not enough time to flash kernel image. My power button is now broken so I feel that it may have been stuck in the on position. Think it's stuck in off now. Oh well

Hi I have the same problem on my Asus tf101 the battery ran out during upgrade and now it is looping on Asus title screen pls help me
To be honest with you there is no immediate fix for this it takes up to a week to fix and this method may not work. I fixed my phone twice now doing this and it's been a life saver. It's for peope in a boot loop that does not cease and will not let you enter fastboot or flashmode.
REQUIREMENTS:
*You will need this SEUS
*Drivers for your phone ( use flashtool and go to where the folder is where you installed it and look for 'drivers' and open and install your respective driver software for your device)
*PC Companion (optional)
*USB Cable
*Windows
*Your Device
All download links can be found in the Downloads Section below.
The Instructions;
1. First of all if you are in a boot loop try to hold the power and volume up button until one vibration is felt.
-If you are still in a boot loop (sony logo repeating) try holding it until 3 vibrations are felt
2. Now if this doesn't work then you need to let the phone boot loop until it goes blank and it can no longer continue to boot. Once this happens if you see 2 red LED blinks or 3 RED LED blinks put your phone on charge via mains.
- Make sure that the phone has a SIM card inserted or the phone will not charge after 15 minutes. Then go back to it when you see a green LED or after 1 hour and try to enter flashmode (green LED)
3. Using SEUS (recommended) select your device and install a new fresh firmware and there you'll have your device running.

What went wrong when the phone develops the blinking red led plaque?
Hi.....I've had a similar problem with my Sony Xperia LT30.....3 days ago it froze and shut off by itself. I've tried many,many things to fix the problem but would never turn on,only the red light. Also the same happened when plugged into the computer would only stay red. Tried putting it into flash mode but it would never last long enough to flash the entire stock ROM with Flash Tool. So I took my phone apart and disconnected the battery for about 10 minutes. Put it back on the charger for 12 hours and got Flash Tool ready to flash the entire Rom this time hopefully. Did not have much hope,considering the countless attempts before with no success. But this time it flashed right away by holding down the volume down button and flashed the entire Rom. This is where I'm stuck now....I know I need to hold the power button down while the green lights on to get it out of Flash mode to charge properly, but when I put the phone on my wall charger I get no light for a few seconds than a solid red light than about 5 minutes later the green light comes on,than repeats the process. So I tried holding down the power button when the green light comes on ,but after a few seconds I lose the green light. it just goes blank than about a minute later the red light comes back on? Is it I just need to leave the phone on the charger for another 12 hours or so to recharge the battery,knowing it takes a long time to charge the battery in this state. Thank You for any help anyone can provide.
Hello,
i have ufo rom (I have 1.32 version rom but phone was 1.34 ) and ultimate kernel on my phone for few months now. Yesterday my phone discharged and from that moment I cant turn it on. I plugged it into charger and just orange LED is shining. If I try to turn it on while on charger phone vibrates once and LED stop shining. Display remains black, no other response from mobile at all. I also tried the trick with plastic tape and battery ( because of CWM) but it doesnt work. Also I cannot boot into recovery or anything like that. I also borrowed another desire 500 and took fully charged battery from that phone but it doesnt work either. If I connect phone to computer and then turn it on, again it just vibrates once and nothing else happens and windows recognises it as some type of CD ROM. I really cant help myself, I have read lot of articles but none of them helped. So thanks in advance!
Hold the power button for 20 seconds. Maybe turns on.

nope, just vibrates once and no other reaction.
up??
So no one has any idea why I cant boot phone??
You have to go back to stock rom. I had the same problem, vibrating 7 times. Added instructions on how to manage to boot and links for the original HTC rom files. In the general thread see my guide
I have updated My Cell to NEO's ROM and it work fine and than changed it's partition as it's official Partitions wasn't enough for me. It worked like a sweet pie but after some days of a month i left it on charge before i sleep at 37% but it's battery goes down instead of up i plugged it out during a sleep so i don't even have a look but in morning i put it back to charge as it was dead but it stuck at 0% even it was on charge.
I try get into recovery to make my first attempt to get out of this mess when i got into recovery it shows a message can't mount system partition.
and than i restarted it to give it one more try and it goes on again but no success in charging. Touch was working that time next time i try to get into recovery ans during in recovery it's touch goes down and now it become worse. i don't have touch and don't have power on.
Now the condition is when i put it on charge it shows a green light and after some time Green light goes off and red light appear with Sony logo and than light switch back to green but this time it's light green not as dark as it was before. and than after some seconds it goes back to bright Green and process goes again. it's a simple Boot loop.
I'm Sucked here don't know what to do.
Things i can still do.
I can get into fastboot mode flash boot image ans system image as well i guess.
Please Guys Give Attention.

I have an htc m7_ul with s-off. I tried updating to lolipop using PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.51_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_458803_unsigned.zip which failed in some parts of the flashing process and put my phone into RUU only mode.
After that I managed to flash M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.1_Radio_4A.13.3227.06_10.27.1127.01_release_308001_signed_2_4 which completed SUCCESSFULL without any errors. The phone rebooted and hopefully Htc quietly briliant logo appear and everything seems fine. Unfortunately this wasn't the case, the phone stuck in there. I try pushing several buttons power, power + vol up or power + vol down for several minutes but nothing. The phone was stucked on quietly brilliant logo. I waited until the battery fully drained and charge it for a while, I tried to start the phone again the phone couldn't boot up the only reaction it has is the capacitive buttons blinking whatever combinations of power buttons and volume buttons I used. The phone is not recognized in pc at all its like is completely dead (it is not even being detected in device manager) . Is there something I can to? I really tryed everything and search in forums for hours for an answer without any luck.
Update:
I am not sure if the phone is being charge since when I connect it to wall charger there is no red led light. Something I didn't mentioned is that before updating to lolipop I was on stock kitkat without root just unlocked bootloader and S-OFF using rumrunner. Any help will be appreciated !!
Update 2:
I left the phone alone and fully discharged, now when I put it on charger the red led blinks (turning on/off). I read that this led must stay solid red in order to get some charge. Its has been more than 5 hours and the red led didnt become solid red. I tried everything the forum solutions advice but without any luck.
Update 3:
I disconnected the phone from charger and weirdly the red led blinks (turning on/off) continues even is not connected to charger? Can anyone help me its urgent
