Hello,
My friend just brought me a I9305 lte version and it has a bootloop. I was looking for any help via many forums but most of the problems are caused by software modification problems. This phone was never modified, it had stock rom and was never rooted. Phone hanged while writing and sms and it turned of and started to bootloop.
1. Battery was removed for few hours
2. Phone was bootlooping till battery completely charged off.
3. I can't access recovery mode
4. I can access download mode for few seconds and after that phone restarts again(can't press volume up to acknowledge entering download mode only first screen appears for 2-3 seconds)
5. I can enter download mode by only holding menu + volume down.
Phone was in servce and they told that this is due to CPU issue and wanted to charge them for around 180$
6. I do not know what system version it had before.
Any ideas how to unbrick it?
If you are not able to stay in Download mode, then I would also suggest a hardware issue. Especially if no tampering has been done to the phone.
Does the phone get very hot ? such as rebooting due to overheating ?

I have a problem with my note and i really don't know what to do. I'm sorry if there is another post about this issue but i've not been able to find anything that matches.
Last night my phone refused to unlock even though i had just used it. I decided to reset the phone by holding down the power button. I tried to turn my phone on this morning but it would not boot up properly. The screen that says "Galaxy Note N7000" appears and will stay for a few seconds; it will either turn black and load the same screen again, or it will quickly show the little android person with the spinning orb in it's belly. It will continue this loop unless i take the battery out. Whilst like this, the back of the phone heats up quite a lot as well. I can enter odin mode by holding the volume down key but i cannot enter recovery mode by holding volume up.
Seriously, is there anything i can do to get my phone to reboot??
Thanks.
if you can get into download mode, try to flash stock rom again. Go here to download stock rom and for how to:

Edit: make sure you battery is charged more than 50%.
Edit: even before you try all these steps, flash philz kernel (.tar file) from pc odin and then see if you can enter recovery mode, if yes, wipe cache partition and dalvik cache and reboot the device to see if it works.

Maybe the battery is dead or at least not functioning properly.

I even tried disconnect battery and direct power same issue,
So not a battery issue
Thanks for replying
Maybe since the battery is not functioning properly disconnecting and reconnecting won't solve the issue.
So this weird thing happened to my 1 month old Galaxy Note 5 with no root or any software modifications to it.
I was using it to send a text message yesterday and all of a sudden the phone hanged, did not restart by itself, the screen and the buttons were not responsive. I was able to restart the phone but it will not go beyond the Galaxy Note 5, powered by Android screen. I can restart the phone with Volume Down + Power but it will not go beyond that point. Holding the power button will not turn it off, so all I can do is restart the phone as well as enter download mode. I cannot enter recovery mode as I cannot switch off the phone. Tried to wait until the battery drained but once plugged in, the screen will automatically go to the Galaxy Note 5 Screen. Also tried pushing the Volume Up, Home and Power buttons before plugging the device in but still will not enter recovery mode.
When I got home, I tried using Smart Switch Initialization to re-flash firmware. Still the same problem.
Tried flashing with Odin 3.10.7 using latest firmware from my region. Firmware flash PASS but the problem is still the same: Cannot go beyond Galaxy Note 5 Screen, Cannot access Recovery Mode
Are there any other solutions that I can employ without tripping off Knox?
Thanks guys!
Did you find a way to fix this
Try wiping Cache in recovery.
If that doesn't work then a factory reset?
It will wipe everything on your device.
This is exactly the same scenario I am facing right now... exactly...
I recently unrooted my phone but then tried to reroot again using ODIN, i tried to flash a CF Autoroot file on odin i found online and disabled autoreboot like it said
since then my phone will boot at all, it is stuck on the samsung boot screen and will not go anywhere, it will not let me into recovery and it will not let me into download mode, when i hold volume down and power it just reboots back to this screen.
after waiting over 14 hours i finally think i've managed to drain the battery, the issue is when i charge the phone again it switches itself on automatically for some reason and goes straight to that screen, i haven't tried to connect it to a computer yet as im at work and not at home.
please help, anyone have any ideas how i could fix this or is it fully bricked? I've rooted multiple phones in the past including this one and never had any issues, i've soft bricked before but managed to just get back into custom recovery, obviously i cant do this this time as the phone isnt rooted
thanks

its probably just a case of having to hold the bixby button, vol down, and pwr at the same time for long enough. also, try holding all 3, and releasing only the power button. May have to do this a few times, but hard-bricked devices dont even usually show the samsung logo

cf autoroot dosent exist for n960f. you flashed something that isint for the note 9. your recovery is probably screwed up because if this.
dl mode should still be accessible. search and read.
Open Odin with stock firmware and take the down button and Bixby button at the same time put your cable on the phone to go on dowloand mode
---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------
And flash the latest stock firmware for your version
connect usb cable to pc and hold vol down+ bixby+power button together. when your phone screen goes black to reboot insert usb cable to phone and release power button only it will go to download mode. this is the only way to get in download mode when phone stuck on samsung screen or is in bootloop. or let the battery drain out and phone turn off. Then hold vol down + bixby button and insert usb cable in phone. Do not press power button. it should go in download mode.
Hi all, this is sadly my first thread in xda, sadly because two things: for being a help-ask thread and because the reason im posting it:
So i decided to flash the new ASIG firmware to my S10, and I don't know what went wrong because odin flashed all right. when i rebooted my device did the key combo to get into recovery mode but it didn't work. Can't pass from the first boot screen because it keeps rebooting
some info to feed your sugestions:
-i was rooted and running a custom rom (August securitypatch on BeyondRom)
-patched AP file in magisk
-ianmacd TWRP
I have tried to get it into download mode, recovery mode, normal OS, magisk boot.... nothing works it keeps rebooting. I remember the battery was like 60~70 % and have been like 7 hours and keeps rebooting.
Also i have tried to get it to boot in download mode waiting till screen goes black pressing voldown and bixby and catching the right moment to plug the cable in it and stops rebooting but doesn't boot either. If i press power button starts again rebooting and the same happen if i disconnect-reconnect or free-press any of the button combo even for one second...
so i have been tweaking my devices like 3 years and this is the first time i think i screwed up one, i always tought it was not possible (hope don't) but this time i think i made it
Do I? there is no fix?
i'm waiting to the phone gets fully discharged to see if powered off can i get it to boot into download mode and fla**** again
is there another way to get it to go into download mode? like old phones with the usb jig
it is a way to turn it off??
do you know what could be the reason to get in this state?
sorry for too much questions but i had a s7 edge before and i messed with it a lot, one day deactivated oem unlock, flashed wrong custom roms and broke it (software way) a lot of times and i always was able to get into download mode and fix it but this time i can't get it to work
so please help me and thanks for read and try to help (if anybody) lol r.r :crying::crying::crying:
FIXED
i'm happy to have been right, its hard to hard brick a device hehehe just after some minutes after (panic atack) post battery went out of energy pressed key combo comected cable to pc and booted un DM im sorprised because did not lost a byte of data
When the S9-S10 Starts bootlooping and won't go to DWNLD mode or Recovery, Just hold Power + Vol DWN + BIX for 5 seconds, release, repeat for ten seconds, release, Repeat,
After that the "upload mode" should appear. and you can just hold Power+Volume Down until the phone reboots. This time the keys will finally boot you into the desired mode...
