Hi everyone,
while using my Note earlier today, it suddenly shut off (with about 75% battery) so I assumed it was just a crash. However after rebooting I could only reach the homescreen and after a few seconds it shut off again. This happened 2 more times.
After that I couldn't boot intro Android at all anymore. After displaying the Samsung splash for about 1 second, the phone shuts off. I tried things like removing the battery for some time etc..
I can boot into CWM where I tried to make a backup. After confirming the start of the backup, the screen image distorts for half a second and the phone shuts off. Then after connecting the charger, creating a backup was successful. Trying to boot into Android still didn't work though.
I did a full wipe and tried another ROM without success. The phone shuts off either after the Samsung splash screen or 1 second after displaying the boot animation of the ROM.
Is it a battery issue or could it be something else?

Why don't you verify the first part of your question yourself? After that the second one would make sense.
So: new battery first.

I've ordered it, it'll take a few days to arrive.
Just in case anyone else runs into this issue. I found that my Galaxy Note was doing exactly the same thing and it was a dodgy or dying battery.
I could run CWM or Android Recovery or Philz Recovery and I could also flash the stock roms with ODIN but after the flashing, the phone would boot to various stages (N7000 splash screen, SAMSUNG splash screen, "Updating Android" screen and then turn off. After flashing a dozen times I worked out it was the battery. Replaced it and all sorted.
I ran into a same kind of problem once. Factory resetting the phone fixed the problem for me.

My phones battery died over the weekend, I got it charged back up, the phone was acting real sluggish so I restarted it, came back a few hours later and noticed it was still on the white HTC screen, I watched it for a few minutes and noticed it would sit on this screen for about a minute, then go dark, then back to the HTC screen and we go round and round.
I tried hboot, all the options do this. Fastboot, recovery even factory restore all trigger this infinite loop...
What has happened? How can I fix this?
Note that it was a stock phone, no mods, no custom ROMs or anything else. It was OTA updated to ICS about a week ago, and has been fine since then.

So can you get to the bootloader and send fastboot commands?
Sorry I am not a modder or anything like that, do you mean select the "fastboot" option?
I tried running fastboot reboot from my PC while it was plugged in and my phone was in the hboot area, and it just says "waiting for device" and never does anything.
If I select "fastboot" from the hboot menu the phone restarts, a bar goes up the side of the HTC screen then about 30 or so seconds later it goes black and repeats process.
Ah, yes I can. I figured it out, plug into USB, select fastboot, then it goes to USB. I was able to reboot the phone.
EDIT: Tried running the update from HTC's website, took it about 5 - 10 minutes or so. It completed without issues, however the phone is still doing this infinite rebooting cycle...
You mean the RUU? And for ICS? That is supposed to be the ultimate method to unbrick and return to stock. Sounds like the OTA messed something up. When you say go dark you mean the screen goes of then it comes back to the HTC screen? This is probably obvious but have you tried a battery pull? Taking out aim card anything is worth a shot.

Yes the RUU update from HTC's website. The phone started this morning without issues. Then after a restart it starts the whole cycle over again.
So my brand new 24 hour old Xperia Z1 will not start and only goes to a blank screen with the backlight on. It does show the SONY splash screen before this for a second.
The only way to shut it down is to do an up volume and on button combo or to hit the red reset button.
I've tried starting with the SIM and SD Card out but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
The phone has pretty much not been used at all so I am a bit shocked. Is there any thing I can try? It was working last night.
24 hours out of the box, just send it back for a new one.
even if its starts working again, for a £600 device I would just send it back and say you are not happy and want a new one

I went off and left it for about 10 minutes and it did finally restart. I suppose there is some sort of software conflict issue going on.
I did a factory wipe and it runs like lightning now. No idea which app is causing the conflict.

This is one of the fastest phones on the market and this shouldn't be happening. After I did my restore I set up again and synched and auto-updated apps and I had the same problem. I then tried deleting all of my uploaded apps one by one until they were all gone but this didn't help and the boot times were still about 5 minutes, often with the phone booting without remembering the brightness setting or even not booting at all.
So I did a factory reset again but this time did not account synch on setup or auto update apps and that seems to have fixed it for me. The phone is very fast and boots in under 30 seconds now, and runs without any lag whatsoever. I wish I could identify specifically what the issue is but so far no luck.
I have a Verizon, stock, unrooted Moto X. Today while updating several apps in the Play Store my phone all of a sudden flashes a black screen, followed by a split second of the boot animation (one of the animated globe scenes) then went black. Pressing and holding the power button force resets my phone, which goes through the entire boot animation, then the Verizon logo, then an unresponsive black screen. I've done the 3-button reboot and then told it to reboot normally, but with the same result. Eventually after about 6 or more failed bootup attempts, it'll finally boot up all the way. I don't remember which app was in the process of updating when this happened, but it did happen twice today. I've got 8+ gigs of free space available on internal storage. Has anyone had this happen before? Any idea what could cause it or what I should do about it? I'm afraid it might keep happening more frequently or my phone might just up and die . Had it since November.

If a factory reset does not fix the issue, all I can suggest is find the thread "Return to Stock" and follow the instructions to flash the entire stock SBF for your carrier. This should fix any corrupted files, if present. Either option WILL erase everything, so backup anything you need first.
Good Luck
Maybe your battery stats are off? Were you low at the time? Sure sounds like the power just died?

Nope, phone had been off the charger only a few hours, still had 85% or so. I actually tried plugging the phone in while it was booting up to see if an extra jolt of juice would somehow help it to fully boot up... made no difference. After 6-8 failed boot attempts, it finally booted up and has been running fine since... although I have yet to try to manually reboot it.
Well, if it acts up anymore...I'd consider a full wipe and return to stock. Same android version you're on now of course.
Otherwise...probably a fluke. ?
I'll try to make this short.....
I am using N910T3. Phone was charging in car while using (stop by roadside). Out of sudden it shutdown and went into reboot loop and the phone is extremely hot. I took the battery out for soft reset and try to turn on again. Phone will freeze at different screen (Lock Screen, Home Page, Samsung Logo, Powered by Android) and give two separate vibration before reboot.
I thought it is battery problem so I bought a new battery to try, but still the same problem. So I went on to backup all file before I perform hard reset. While doing that, I find out the phone can be use for longer before reboot if it was stay off for a long time. So I have this crazy idea: put it in a fridge. Surprisingly it works! The phone will not reboot anymore and I can manage to backup all file before doing anything else. Also, the phone will not charge if you plug in right after a few reboot.
Then, along with the fridge method, I perform factory reset through normal android setting. Now it will just stuck at powered by android screen while in reboot loop. I then try to flash with Odin, multiple times. Flash by Odin is complete, phone restart, then it freeze and reboot, at different screen (Installing system update, Erasing, powered by android).
Out of frustration I try with the fridge method to flash, and IT WORKS AGAIN!!!. The phone can now boot to welcome screen where you first setup your phone. However, it will then freeze again and reboot while doing so.
There was only this one time, where I left the phone off for a day after flash with a previous stock ROM, turn it on and skip as much setup as I can, finally reach the homepage screen, then will stay on without any reboot issue. I thought I finally fix it. I then power off the phone, put in my Sim Card and SD Card, power it on, then again, reboot issue appear.
I tried flash with latest stock ROM, previous stock ROM (one updates away), flash any stock ROM with pit file. I sometimes will get error code on device after flash (can't remember the exact error). I also cannot boot into recovery mode without flashing a twrp. Sometimes if success, I will get straight to Lock Screen without going through the phone welcome setup process. But again, none of these I tried can solve the reboot loop.
I may went too far and mix up all steps to the phone. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Or is my phone, as I believe, has a faulty motherboard that cause the reboot loop? Thanks in advance for reading through my problem!
Hello there, I had a Tmo Note 4 which I loved it until the end, it's a hardware problem and there is no fix for it unless you replace the board, by the time you buy the board and what you need to pay for labor you're going to expend a few hundred dollars, I also tried the freezer method but it finally the phone gave up, it does not turn on anymore. That was my experience. Good luck bud.

anyone know if a 910t3 mother board will fit in a 910t frame? Asking cuz I wanna switch them out.
Hi,
A few days ago, I replaced a USB socket on friend's old Samsung Note 1 (GT-N7000). Soldering may not be very professional, but it does the job - the phone is charging and it can connect to the computer.
Today (3 days after replacing the USB) he came back to me with another problem -
after turning on the phone, only the white brand name and model appear at the start and then nothing, a black screen. I think it's turning off. He says he had some problems with the battery in the meantime and the screen was flickering strangely.
He had a custom ROM loaded for a long time that worked normally and worked well on this phone.
Today, despite not starting the system, I was able to enter TWRP recovery and DL mode. However, if I wanted to do anything in recovery (backup, factory reset, etc), the screen turned off. After a few attempts, it stopped going into recovery.
I have restored the original software using Odin and N7000XXLSZ_OXELS7_4.1.2_Repair_Firmware
- still after the white inscriptions at the start, the screen goes black and nothing
- trying to enter recovery, overturned android appears for a moment and the screen goes black
- DL mode works
Maybe someone knows what could have happened and most importantly how to get this phone work? Preferably on some "custom ROM" to have at least Android 7.
I was thinking, I was looking, I was tearing my hair out of my head. I searched half the internet and suddenly stumbled upon this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...bricked-only-download-mode-available.3096409/
The phone is the same, the problem is the same - the battery is to blame. I immediately called the owner to give all the batteries he has.
OH, OF COURSE! The one I got along with the phone and its problems was the only one that caused all the restarts and errors. After inserting a different battery, the problems were resolved.
All that's left is to clean up Android and the case is closed.
By the way - I have collected in one place the files and information (Polish language only) on how to install NightOwl LineageOS 14.1 Android 7.1.
2 on this phone. If anyone needs this information, please visit here - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1libYpWC4qJbjGJRE1Szf8L3eTdoHPTpE?usp=sharing
