Hey guys i recently tried to upgrade from ICS to JB on my SPH-I800 and something borked half way through.
I cant boot into recovery or download mode i tried letting it charge over night and it will only make it to a battery loading screen with a little pie piece loading circle over the battery if i try booting in any fashion the screen goes black for a while and eventually comes back to the battery screen. Any ideas?
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
I bought a XT1068 last year and have had no problems with it until this month. I used an anker power pack and almost immediately couldn't turn it on. I was assisted by a member of this forum and had no problems afterwards. However, yesterday I left it charging with the same charger and couldn't turn it on. The problem is that the Motorola logo shows for a few seconds (the flat one that shows at the end of a boot up) and then the phone turns off. So I went into fastboot (power + volume down) and tried to access recovery, the same thing happened. The same happened when I tried to factory reset it. It sometimes will not turn after I try one of these and stays on the Motorola screen indefinitely, for no apparent reason. Throughout this the battery slowly dies, having to be charged twice in 24 hours. And when I try to bootup from fastboot I get stuck on the Motorola screen. I am at loss of what to do and wondered if any of you had an idea?
Adb works from fastboot, but forcing a reboot from the command line produces the same results.
My bootloader is locked, I am running stock 4.4.4 and I am not rooted.
Hi,
so I charged my Note (running some cm10 stable release) over night, using my ipad charger (5.2V, 2.4A) as I sometimes do, and the next morning the phone was stuck at the unlock pattern screen but didn't react to any inputs.
After rebooting the initial n7000 screen and the CM loading animation appeared. The phone never booted, though and reverted back to the n7000 screen and stuck there. Tried to reinsert the battery (also tried with a different one) but the phone only got to the n7000 screen the first 2 times and got stuck there. Now the phone doesn't even do that. Just black screen and no sign of life. Tried removing the SD and also getting into recovery and download mode to no luck.
Any ideas what else I could try?
Thanks!
Till yesterday my Mi A2 worked flawlessly. The phone went out of battery so I tried to charge it but it had stuck on battery charging screen (the one without the %, in b/w). When I tried to boot it up it arrived till android one logo and then it returned to the battery charging screen.
After that I tried to let it charge for a while, I tried to boot it up another time but now the phone seems dead. When I try to start it it doesn't anything except a double blink of the led (white).
I don't know what to do know, can't access to recovery, fastboot etc. It was running last september patch (full stock).
I've bought it trough amazon but I can't really stay without the phone for days, if there is a way to recover the phone I will save much time.
Thanks
