URGENT: Splashscreen endless restart - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is what happens:
1. battery out of phone and MicroSD and SIMcard also out of phone.
2. Put in battery.
3. Without pushing any button phone turns on and shows splash screen and in a split second second the cyanogenmod logo (it has CM7).
4. Phone turns off and restarts the cycle showing the splash screen etc.
Also it may show the little star insted of the splash screen and in a split second the battery and restarts. I've tried two batteries with and without charger.
I can enter download mode, stay there in a few second and then it restarts again.
Does anyone have a solution?
Or is it possible to make a backup? I have tried to enter recovery mode, but it is not possible.

Hm,
it could be that your power button is stuck and is always connecting. Do you notice a click when you press it?

Thanks for your answer. Yes I do hear a click.
The phone has been connected to the charger, it stil shows that star and restarts and the whole phone is hot. Can I make a backup of the phone? And flash via Download mode?

I have tried to enter download mode again, it enters, i connect it to PC with USB, Odin detects it but in a second the phone restarts and Odin says Added and then Removed!
What can I do? Is there any thing to do? :crying:

AW: URGENT: Splashscreen endless restart
Honestly I still think it's the power button. I did test it. When I restart the phone and keep my power button pressed it behaves exactly as you describe! I don't have the slightest idea how to help you with that. Sorry mate.

[Q] Strange Reboot Loop, searched forum Not Addressed

Hello All
I did search the forum and still not answer for the stranger reboot loop.
I got a phone call, and answered it. The reception was crappy and hear no voice. I then looked at the phone to see if call had dropped and it was frozed on the incoming call screen. I then pulled the battery and pressed the power button to turn on the phone and It would not power on. After multiple battery pulls and many many power button presses, still nothing. It was like it was out of battery. It was stitting on the home charger before i left the house. Prior to this the phone worked fine. Over the past week or two I had to do a battery pull may be 3 times.
I got to my car and plugged it into the charger and the orange charge led came on, on the front of the device. I then pressed the power button and it vibrate once as normal and then went to the multi-colored nexus "X." he screen went black and then vibrated once again and and was back at the mulit-colored "X." Then the loop starts.
In between the restarts I try to get it to boot into the bootloader by using the "vol down and power" and the "trackball and power button" and the white screen for the boot loader flashed for a milisecond the goes to black. As long as I hold the "vol down" button the while bootloeader or recovery screen flashes every 4-5 sec for a milisecond. As soon as I let go of one of those button, it automatically goes to the full reboot loop.
THis all happens when it is plugged into a power source. As soon as i unplug it, it goes back to the power button not responding. Again it acts as if it has no battery power. But it is in the 90%.
So i am unable to do any other step as in reflashing, and or doing a recovery.
ANY IDEAS any one.
I was running Cyanogen RC3. the latest rom with amon RA 1 7 1, korean radio 5.0.8
It was running perfectly up till today. when it went into its loop.
ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME
THanks in advance

Plug it in to the USB, adb reboot recovery, reflash rom. Or even wipe and reflash if needed.
Sounds like it could be hardware the way you have to hold the keys down and you said it wasn't responding to the power button press.
ok thanks, ill give it a try.
here is my only issue. I am not using my original computer Mac. I just sent it out to apple for repair. So i am using my companies computer. I need to set up the AndroidSDK to be able to talk to the nexus. Since the phone will not turn on i can not load the drivers. and ive tried every way and it has not installed and i cant check because it wont stay on. it just goes to the loop. and it wont turn on if its not plugged to a power source.
Any ideas or suggestion.
SOrry I am an noob, so could you please be specific in your instructions.
I as of right now have insalled the Android SDK and i am unable to see the serial number (working on an old dell, running XP sp3) because it wont turn on.
It cant manually install the drivers because I cant turn the phone on to specify the drivers.
and
I using USBDeview, the phone also has to be on to erase all HTC previously installed drivers. i think. but there were none in the usb log...i think becuase they didnt install...agains because it would not power on...:-(
any ideas...please
DD
Also
Sorry excuse me if its a sort of a duhhh question...
even if i am able to load the device bridge, if the phone will not boot can i still flash another rom, or do a recovery. The phone is not getting past the Multi-colored "X" ???
DD
It should still read the commands when it's trying to boot. You don't need to turn the phone on at all to be able to install the ADB drivers, they are independent of each other.
As strange as it started, is a strange as it went.
This morning open the phone to pull the sd and the sim to put it in a throw down phone. I replaced the battery and cover and just hit the power button. The phone does a full boot and it appears to be working properly. the sd card and sim are fine. I the odd thing is i did this multiple times yesterday and last night. I pulled both sim and sd, replaced the battery and tried to boot with the same issues as named above with nothing different.
I left the phone on charge last night and it was charging for close to 8 hours and it was still showing the orange charging light.
So after it booted this morning, and i checked everything. It showed the same amount of charge as yesterday, right before it froze, which was 75%. So that is another strange occurance.
I plan on reflashing the rom and seeing how things go.
I thank you for your assistance and time.
appericate you helping out a clueless noob.

S10e no download mode, no TWRP, strange Black Screen / Brick Issue?

After i tried to solve another issue with a custom Rom and installed a TWRP for Hades Rom, my S10e doesn't start normal, download mode also doesn't work.
Only thing is, if I press Power + Bixby and Vol down, it vibrates and the Samsung logo appears shortly.
After that the PC (if USB is connected) shows the folders but display of the phone is still black.
Funnily i can tab on the phone screen and it vibrates on some areas, so I assume it is in TWRP but with a black display.
I'm completely stuck now, searched a few hours on google and XDA for a solution but nothing works.
Power and Vol down mages a restart, if USB is connected the folder appears after a fw seconds on the PC, Display still black. When i tab on the phone it vibrates but no display, so no idea what i'm doing.
Download mode or "visible" TWP doesn't work, tried also several button combinations, nothing works.
So, how can i get in download mode to do a reflash? I've no data on the phone so wiping is no problem. Any ideas?
Edit 1: It seems i could solve the issue by draining the battery completely and go into download mode afterwards, so - solved for now
Bump, having the same issue
Hold power and volume down to get out the black screen

Possible brick after updating twrp

Dear all,
I was on beyond 5.3 with twrp 3.3.1.7 and I wanted to update everything. Magisk, root etc was working fine.
I downloaded the patched twrp file from the beyond telegram chat and flashed it as image into the recovery partition.
The installation was finished in 2 seconds, but stupid me chose to power off instead of rebooting the recovery.
So I tried to enter recovery using the button combo but nothing happened and I was stuck with the samsung logo.
The current status is that my phone only shows the samsung logo.
Holding the power button for a minute doesn't do anything.
Pressing the button combo for recovery mode doesn't do anything.
Pressing the button combo for dl mode makes the phone reboot. It vibrates for a sec, then the samsung logo shows again.
If I keep pressing all 3 buttons the phone keeps on rebooting and vibrating each time, but dl mode never appears. If I let go of the power button the logo stays and again, nothing happens.
So basically I can't enter dl mode nor reboot.
Should I let it run dry and try again or just throw out of the window immediately? :crying:
I let the battery drain over night. Phone was finally off.
So when I plug it in, the Samsung Logo appears and doesn't change. It just stays like that forever until the battery drains.
Pressing the power button doesn't do anything, no matter how long. It doesn't reboot nor does the logo disappear.
Pressing vol+, bixby and power again does nothing.
Vol-, bixby and power makes the phone reboot. The screen turns black, the phone vibrates shortly, the logo reappears. If I keep pressing the buttons the phone reboots again, and again, and again, mever reaching download mode.
If I let go of the power button and keep pressing vol- and bixby the phone stays black and won't even show the logo. Nothing happens. If I let go of either of the two buttons the logo appears again.
It won't boot, won't go into recovery or go into dl mode.
I'm doing all this while it's plugged into the usb port of my pc, and it doesn't get recognized. Samsung 300k tool doesn't recognize it either.
Now I know the meaning of "bricked" lmao.
Does anyone know how to possibly fix this?
Pressing only the power button for a minute literally does nothing. Like hell, how is that even possible?
You can try this to go to download mode:
Vol down + bixby + usb cable connect to PC
It's advisable to charge battery first before flashing firmware.

I tried that for like a thousand times already but now it chose to magically work somehow.
I think I peed myself a little when that ugly turquoise screen appeared and I screamed from sheer happyness.
THANK you!!!
The problem that doesn't stop giving lmao.
Got into DL mode, got odin to start, but after like 10 seconds my phone dies and odin fails.
Now I cant get into DL mode, but rather only the "an error occurred while updating the device software. use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software."
Could it be the battery that simply dies?

Yes most probably a discharged battery. Hopefully you can go to DL mode again after charging your phone.
hello,
I've and S10e and because an important app to me I need to go back to android 9 where it works.
I've read a lot info about downgrade, but no one says ROOT/UNBRICK.
Can someone inform if there is a way of downgrade without ROOT (maintaining the warranty).
thanks in advance
P.S.: Maybe too naive question, sorry for that

Phone stuck on boot loop and won't turn on

Phone got frozen while in Messenger, suddenly turned off and now it's stuck on boot loop. Holding volume down and power button does nothing, keeps it on boot loop. When I put it on charging, it heats up, but the charging logo does not show.
Anyone got any clue what might be the problem or how to solve it?
did you receive any pictures via messenger ? that used to be a thing that messed up phones because of one colour outside most phones RGB range.
a bootloop is a cycle, catch it at the right time and you can boot into recovery to clear cache and dalvik.
remember recovery and download mode need the cable plugged into a USB device to nowadays.
the instant the screen goes off hold volume up and power and then plug the cable into the phone (the other end already being in the PC).
if you did receive a file before your problem that'll still be there and the problem might persist. you might need to boot up into safe mode and delete something.
The phone got frozen at the main screen of Messenger, haven't received any messages or pics.
The thing I haven't mentioned but dk if it means anything, sometimes it gets to the Samsung logo, but then it goes off and turns back on.
Tried to hold volume up and power button couple of times, sometimes it would do a strong vibration and then do nothing, but I'll keep on trying.
Thanks for ur help

don't forget the USB cable, you can't manually boot recovery without it.

if you don't mind losing messages next time you could try clearing data on the messages app. you'd need to be pretty quick by the sound of it.

Phone is dead..

My phone is dead and doesn't turn on. I tried all button combinations but no luck. It just flashes when connected to power and screen goes black. not even able to enter fastboot or recovery mode. Please help.
1 - I hold the power user button and connect power.. it flashes charging icon, Powered by Android icon and nothing happens
2 - I connect power cable and it flashes charging icon and nothing happens.. this is happening sometimes and sometimes even this icon does not appear
This seems to be a hardbrick. I found this, but it seems you have to register to the site to get them, you have to get your device into edl, Google how to. Afterwards, flash with this. I do not guarantee any files mentioned here are safe, please check them yourself.
Thank you much... Let me try this.
