a few days ago my fiance was complaining her basically stock Nexus was rebooting into a bootloop - where it displays the loading X and vibrates and then reboots and repeats every few moments (a few days after her doing the system update)- if I remove the battery for a few minutes then put battery back and reboot it will boot into the OS where it will stay sometimes for a few minutes othertimes an hour or more before going into the bootloop- so I told her I would attempt to flash a new rom. after many hours of messing with the phone and attempting to access the recovery it just will not work- the phone just goes into the bootloop - exactly as mentioned above. I have used fastboot to flash new images (userdata, system, boot, recovery etc) numerous times and it still does the same thing- crashes and reboots into the bootloop from the OS randomly and bootloop when trying to access recovery. I am pretty sure it is a hardware issue (the phone is only 3 months old) but the company i bought the phone from is stating it is a software issue and not covered by tehir warranty.
Problem is I unlocked the bootloader while messing with the rom's yesterday and am now concerned they wont honour the warranty anyway- does anyone have any suggestions as to anything else I can try? As far as I can tell as I cannot access recovery I cannot install any other roms..
Please help- otherwise I will be posting a yourtube video of me destroying a basically brand new nexus one- I really am that frustrated....
a bit more info- it was rooted but still had locked bootloader when this started- rooted using onclickroot or something- which after the update it wasn't rooted anymore- I am wondering if this has caused some low level conflict somehow- I have rooted again using superoneclick - and as stated have unlocked the bootloader.
is there any way to flash a rom using fastboot or adb on this thing- I would hazard surely there is but amongst all the information floating around for this phone I cannot find out how- I am thinking maybe I try and load cyanogen 6 or something if I could work out how to flash a rom using adb (because njo matter how many times I try to flash different recovery images it wont boot into recovery- I can access fastboot etc but as soon as i select recovery I get the bootloop...
and before I get flamed I have spent three days searching and reading and attempting everything short of voodoo witch magic. I thought my X10 was a P.I.A. to root and flash etc but really it was simple compared to the trouble this phone has given me..
I am wondeirng if some of the rom's are incompatible with some hardware- and I don't quite understand the whole radio thing either... can someone explain that?
BTW Im not a total noob- I have been around for a while without an account - then have had this account for a while but mostly just read the forums as I have no real input and knowledge to give...
...help!
Can no one help?
I have managed to get into recovery (by putting the phone in the freezer for ten minutes at a time to reduce the temperature and stabilise it enough to run for 15-20 minutes at a time)...
Have flashed different kernels this way and nothing is stable- it still bootloops because of heat....
I contacted HTC Hong Kong (it was purchased from a Hong Kong company) and they have told me there is a $350 fee to repair it as its a UK phone. Now the phone is exactly 55 days old not three months and I am really really frustrated.
Does anyone know if its worth contacting HTC UK?
I have friends in the UK I can have them send it in and recieve it from repair....
Someone please help- even if its just a comment of "just smash the damn thing..."
Thanks guys sorry about the long self centred posts but I am ready to destroy this phone- it doesnt have a mark on it either- any ideas what its worth for spare parts?
Hello people,
I have searched a lot on google en XDA to solve my problem, but i can't find it. The temperature of my Samsung Galaxy s GT-i9000 is to low, to be exact -7° degrees.
The problem is that i can't charge my phone now. The phone says: Charging paused. Battery temperature is too high or too low.
Can anyone help me, is would appreciate it a lot!
That's unusual to be honest ^^ , maybe if you put your phone ( or the battery ) in a worm place this problem will be solved , lol i can't even imagine what you've done to make it -7degrees ..
If the temperature of the phone is nrml and you're getting this msg for no reason u can reset it to factory settings , this will probably fix any software problems.
Good luck
i have reset a lot of times my factory settings. Do you have more solutions? (sorry for my English, i speak dutch) Thanks
did u flash any rom?
How old is your phone(battery)
Try a factory wipe,as suggested in the above post,maybe it's an app that caused the prob
I know for sure it's not my battery because had a other battery in it and it said the same. What i was forgotten to say was that my computer recognize my phone as a samsung galaxy, that is really strange. He doesn't want to charge.
Can you manage to get into recovery mode (by clicking vol up+home+power)? If you can, go to "advanced>wipe battery stats", and see if that fixes the problem.
did u flash any rom(kernel) if not,then I think your battery chipset is broken.
If u did flash any rom try format your system in recovery and flash a new rom first from cwm and if this doesn't fix then format again and flash a rom with Odin
Good luck
Yes i can it didn't work. Could a Kernel help me? Or has anyone have a link to rom which could help me?
Stock rom(jvu) get it from sammobile.com or search for darky's rom and flash this through ODIN.if u never tried odin then search and read how to use it
Thanks i'll try to install the darky rom. I tell you if it helps and when it doesn't i tell is also.
Have you flashed custom rom before? If yes try darky or something. If no is your phone still under warranty? If yes don' t flash anything and take it in. If no flash darky or other rom to see if you can resolve issue.

Thanx ,cos I never heard of this problem before,so it would be nice with a follow up
Hope u will get fixed.
Good luck m8
Sorry m8 it didn't work. I installed the darky rom and the problem is still there. I installed the Rom by CWM recovery. It couldn't work with odin
Could anyone help me with this problem?
Use darky's 10.2 TAR file this is flashable with Odin or any other .tar file.
@RAMAD rooted roms is tar and only flashed in Odin.search ramad
it diden't work. Could it be solved with a secret code or something? I don't think it is a hardware problem because i can connect with my computer.

Hi, did you find a solution to the problem? I have the same problem after leaving my phone in a hammock in the rain (probably not the greatest of ideas). The phone works fine, but won't charge the battery. My solution so far was to buy a separate charger to charge the battery (about $10 from Amazon), but if there is a way to stop the battery check that would be much better than having to take out the battery every day to charge it.

I'm having the same issue. It just started yesterday. Even with low use the phone gets hot and it won't let me charge it. I keep getting the battery temperature error. Even when it's powered off. I went into recovery mode as suggested by a previous poster and there is no advanced options that I can see. I'm not rooted and bone stock. Very frustrating. I've also tried another OEM battery to no avail.
HELP! http://forum.xda-developers.com/ima charging paused battery temperature too low
Hello guys, I get that message whenever I charge it or connect it to PC
my phone is galaxy s2 and the ROM is ICS 4.0.4
if anyone can help me. THanks
The problem is in the charge port flex it self. i work for a cell phone repair shop. i fix this issue all the time. its just a trac on the flex that goes bad. easy replacement fix. Here is a link to buy one.

Hello!
During flashing leaked kernel my phone was on soft brick, I wiped cache partition and data in CWM. This was the end of my beloved Note, it is 100% dead and none of the possible fixes posted works so far.
I have heard there is a possible fix by re partitioning and connection the phone in Linux environment, this way the computer reads the phone and can be fixed by repartitioning and could get into download mode. Please let me know if anybody confirms this.
Alternatively, what is the next step. My phone is still under warranty but I am scared if Samsung would find out the history of rooting or as my Phone is 100% dead they would not be able to find out, confused.......
If the motherboard needs to be replaced, how much would it cost, where should I take and most important if my phone recovers can I still play around with custom ROMs?
Look forward to suggestions bring my phone live as I purchased it on loan and it brings immense pain to pay emi for a dead phone.

AK
Even it bricked by emmc bug, there shud be download mode still available
-First try to get other charged battery (or charge yours) and try to put in download mode, and look to Lt upper corner what is your flash score. If it is zero, simply reclain warranty.
-Otherwise try this

Thanks. I tried using charged batteries but still does not get into Download Mode also after reading somewhere I tried to connect using Odin assuming screen would be black but Odin detects. Even this did not work
So, no way of getting DM or looking at binary count.

Your phone is under warranty yet you are asking for costs? Those "recovery" method will give you a "crippled" device in terms of mem capacity.
So go and claim warranty. They wont know anything since your phone is totally dead anyway.

Hey, I just cam back from SS service. they said it could be a motherboard issue and they are replacing the motherboard.
Does that mean they would install the Stock Rom from fresh, I am sure yes.
Waiting for my recovered phone and educating myself to safely play around with custom ROMs.
One last question, which is the best stable custom ROM available for Galaxy Note, in terms of UI and better battery life?
Many Thanks.

Congrats on the replacement;
Custom ROM's are kind of personal preference, Best bet is to do your research now while you wait and you can decide for yourself which features you like / want / need in a ROM..
Suggestions to check would be ParanoidAndroid / CleaNote from my point of view, I've tried both but still run Stock ICS with custom Kernel.. Suits my needs...
while gaming, my phone suddenly hang and i decide to restart the device itself. upon booting, i am stuck at the "samsung" logo. I have tried flashing stock rom and kernel but to no avail. i can still go into download mode and recovery mode. Anybody know whats gone wrong?
And if i send for waranty, it is a one to one exchanged?

what is the current rom on your phone? have you tried going to recovery and wiping dalvik cache? still same thing? If it is, worst case you can try (since both Recovery and Download works still) is to wipe data in recovery and restart your phone again(Don't try doing this if your using an infected kernel and/or in ICS Rom)
Going back,
You have a soft bricked phone.. Why would you exchange it for warranty? you can easily fix your issue without returning it to Samsung.

hello
Same problem...pls HELP !!!
I tried to install a custom rom and then the horror began. I can't turn it on geto to download or recovery mode.. I sent it to service because I still have a warranty but I don't know will they see the history of installed roms. The man I talked to said to me that they can do it but I read a comment that it is impossible to see so I got a hope. They also told me that it could be about motherboard and that they will do everything they can to save it. I am really afraid of losing my Note. I hope you guys will help me and tell me sth good.. I am also interested is it possible to fix it with usb jig. ?
thanks, my regards..
Already it's with samsung. If they cant do anything to revive, its a motherboard replacement.

Don't worry, if it is with samsung alrd. They'll sure give you replacement of the motherboard if they can't do anything to your existing one. This is considered as the "manufacturing fault", and therefore, they must be able to replace it.
1st few batches, N7000 came out under gingerbread 2.3.6 technology, and it worked very well without the eMMC brick bug. It is happened only when they upgrade to ICS, with their own stock kernel, which triggered the brick bug.
So long as they are delaying the fix for their own stock kernel with the eMMC brick bug removed, I think samsung is still liable to give replacement to user, no matter what you did to your device. As long as it is eMMC brick bug, and you have your warranty.
Why ?
very simple... Even most of the samsung sales person on their respective outlets, they know a lil bit or perhaps don't know at all about this bug. Unless the sales person is those who likes to play with handphone like most of us here.
And if they do know... they won't tell you as well about this bug. Otherwise, will you buy it ? :fingers-crossed:
So as a consumer, we have the right to be replaced if the bug has been triggered due to factory reset / wipe of data, since no one told us about this. **peace**.
Really do hope you get your replacement once they call you to take your phone.
Good Luck !

Thanks man.. you really encouraged me.. So they should give me a replacement.. I am still worried because the man that I talked to told that this kind of problem where I installed a bad rom is not under warranty so that is what scares me the most..
thanks for help...
Just to say:
Galaxy Note GT-N7000, ICS 4.0.4

Hey guys,
I just want to inform you that my Note is at service for 3-4 days... I am contacting them every day and they say it's not done yet.. So I hope it means that they're working on it... I will write if something new happens..
My Regards, Nedzad
Hey
I contaced service and they told they couldn't do anything yet.. Repairman told me that they will get a new JTAG repair box in 20 days and then they will fix it for free.. I think it is a good news

Hi Guys
Follow your developments since a while and thanks a lot for all your hints and tipps
Now i face a serious problem with my "T" and couldnt find a solution. Got new FW .489 couple of days ago and since then my phone keeps on freezing all the time, not matter which app or function i use, and reboots. not a full reboot, it lasts for just a few seconds.
Freezer - black screen - Sony Logo - animated Bootscreen for 4 times - and then its on again
I tried to reproduce the bug, but it happens randomly and is not related to any app.
i repaired the FW 2 times already with PCC, also did a full wipe 3 times, still no solution
Phone is branded, James Bond Edition, Bootloader Unlock: NO
Do you guys have a proper tip ?? i´m currently a little bit angry, cos i cant use the phone properly
Thanks in advance
Try a different .489 firmware for a while or a stock based rom from the development section.
that will at least eliminate the possibility of it being the firmware or pointing to the problem being your handset.

Hi Greg
thanks a lot, i was actually on the way to flash your assaye
the funny thing is, all the previoux FW´s (.1.303, .3.223) were awesome, good battery life and great performance, since the JB the phone is almost useless, because you never know, when it starts to freeze
i will give it a try and report back
Hi Greg
after some flashing around none of the roms were working properly, tried yours and a stock deodexed and another one, cant remember
the only one properly working is the stock .303, as soon as i flash and use the others, i get the freezer
so i called up the company where i bought it and a replacement is on the way...couple of days and i can start a new flash game
thanks a lot for your quick response and the AIO thread:good:
So my phone's not yet fixed since the 25th of December due to sudden death - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2585068
We had it checked again last Thursday, January 3rd. The technician said that the replacement of motherboard is not yet clear to be the best solution as the technicians from the Sony Service Center hadn't opened the phone yet. He said that it might have been a cause of a dead or death boot. Has anyone heard of it? He says not only Sony phones are experiencing this dead or death booth, even other brands. Kind of random.He said that the phone somewhat hangs, the screen isn't on but the system is still running which causes the phone to become warm or hot. And he also said that this lead to the battery getting totally drained. As per him, once the battery is totally drained it won't get charged even if I try to charge the phone for a number of hours. So what he will do when I get back to him on Monday is he will first try to shock the battery to see if it will be revived (which I hope this is just the case) and then dload some firmwares or softwares to fix the unit.
I hope this ordeal will be solved this following week as it's been so inconvenient on my part and I terribly miss my phone.
One of possibility is that they will open the back cover, pull out the battery and charge it to full, then they put it back and flash the stock firmware. With battery charged they have enough time for flashing and the phone should turn on. If it's Sony Center to do that they will also seal the phone as original to get fully working waterproof.

I really, really, really hope it'd work. For the waterproofing it would be fine to take it to the Sony service centre just to have the full waterproofness back.:good:

Hey guys, do the devs a favour: NOT EVERY SIMPLE BOOTLOOP IS A BRICKED DEVICE!!!
Just go to recovery and wipe everything, it then should boot without problems.
if it doesn't, first check yourself (e.g. did you flash a 4.4 kitkat without flashing a new kernel for it?)
the answers for nearly all problems are here on xda-developers ... just read, read and read and understand ... if you don't know, what you do with flashing your device, what the partitions data / cache / system are for, what a kernel is or what the differences between stock roms, custom rom releases and nightly builds is, you simply SHOULD NOT flash your device.
If you understand what you are doing and if THAT ALL doesn't help you and you think you have a problem noone else have (i allready had such a thing with my defy+, it got bootloop and it was a dead memory chip) THEN (and just then) post your problem here. The devs simply don't have the time to help everyone who simply can't read the existing threads.
Thanks (and dont get angry on me, just saying so you can do it better the next time)
