if you reboot by holding the power for like 10 sec, can you get to recovery? Or download mode?

Hmm, does it charge? It may have been bricked. If there is no chance of returning it or warranty then I'm not sure what to do. Since it seems it's been this way for a few days, you may have to be creative. I've had mine fail a few times via Odin and after a few times holding the power I would get back to the kies screen on the Gear which I would try to fix in the recovery part of kies and that would not work since I wasn't installing the update via Kies. But moral of the story was after trying to see the gear in kies and failing, I again tried with Odin 3.09 and it would see the device again. Where I loaded the Odin version which failed, then rebooted gear and tried 2nd time and closed my eyes.. and it loaded. I would make sure nothing is running in the background ( 1st fail I noticed windows detecting device halfway through Odin flash and that caused my issue).
Also if you have another device like a samsung phone, you may see that device in Odin (only suggest this as a way to test if Odin and windows drivers for samsung device are loaded). But hopefully with some reload of the drivers on you computer (on that....try another computer if possible) you will have some success.
If you try all that and it's a no go and still crazy colors and lines.....only thing I can think of is to let battery die and then connect charger and see if it charge's or goes to charge screen. Let me know if you can get to anything else...

Ditto - rushed into the update before reading up properly and ending flashing with latest Tizen when I should have used the older version with boothloader. Thought I'd recovered the situation when I managed to flash with Android 4.2.2, Odin showed as completed but the Galaxy Gear continued to be stuck on the downloading screen albeit with a download bar showing however it did not reset. Switched it off after a while and then that's when the corrupt screen started and failure to be recognised by the pc
Any help would be appreciated before it hits the bin.............

This CRAP haha had this happend to me it is a fully bricked phone u could fix it up by opening the phone and connecting some testpoints when flashing (tutorial on miui forum).
I sent it to repair as this same thing happend to me basically the "memory block" got bricked.
You know its just not make sense, i used it normally, not even yet try to root or flashing something, its fully stock, upgrading once..i used it about 2months normal use, but suddenly facing this, come on ..
Well this is what happend when I upgraded my version of MIUI through fastboot. Not sure how u got this but that is what it means as I had this too.
Latest update i always done was an ota stable one and am sure that was recovery way
I was using CM12 for quite a long time. Then I received an OTA update to CM13. After using it for a few days the device suddenly crashed and wouldn't switch on since then. Whenever I try to switch it on, it vibrates three times. If I connect a charger, it vibrates three times. If I connect to my PC, it vibrates three times.
Sometimes suddenly it boots up and then again crashes in the middle, and vibrates three times.
Is it some kind of hardware problem? :crying:

Hey there! I think it's some infection from the CM ROM. The same happened to me.
The best you can do is submit your phone to the centre, that is if it goes into flashing.
I think it's some ram problem or CM's internal boot file corruption, after the latest OTA.

Hi ,I think your device is still alive.
There is a recovery tool named the minimal system flash tool (最小手机系统烧写工具 in Chinese), which may help to unbrick the MTK device by flashing the fundamental images. After that you are able to flash any stock/custom ROM by SP flash tool.
Attached the link below for your reference which is in Chinese. You may try to get the English version if needed.

i dont know if this will help but i had updated from b127 to b320 and unlocked+rooted it and after that while flashing a software called magisk it got softbricked and was not going past the honor logo... i tried to flash the stock b108 rom using 'format and upgrade' option in spf tools, it gave me a brom error midway and now the phone did not even turn on just vibrated every 15 20 seconds... after hours of searching saw a guy using the download option to flash the stock rom... i tried it and it worked... got my phone back to life... phew...

Hi Guys,
I have used my T-mobile Note 4 for years since it came out. I have replace the batteries once, but like a month ago when there was an update my phone keep restarting and turning off. I then had to get another phone because of that I still cant get it to restart even after I bought a new battery, updated the firmware. can some one guide me the right way to do this right. I think I am not doing the flashing the right way.. with oldin, and the correct firmware. after I do that I get this installing updates andriod show and it stops and reboots again. please help. thanks
- this phone was never locked before
- Replaced the battery once
- one day when there were a bunch of apps that needed update with probably 35% battery I let it update and after that it kept rebooting
- So installed the twrp recovery.tar.md5 from here that didnt help
- So then from sammobile I downloaded the latest firmware and installed it, that didnt help too
So the question is can I just wipe the whole phone and start fresh? -

download and install this using odin

Thank you for your response, unfortunately this didn't work for me I did install the latest firmware , but the phone doesn't go to the stock recovery mode for some reason and keeps rebooting. it does say Recovery booting... but it shuts off. so I have no way to do that even if I keep pressing the volume up, power and the home buttons pressed then release the home and power and keep pressing the volume button.

So I tried this yesterday evening,
- I did install the latest firmware which was suggest in by one of the comments above :
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651442761499080
- then flashed it with philz recovery and did the factory reset and rebooted it but no luck.
- when restart the phone, its shows the Samsung note 4 logo then shuts off.
im afraid to say that your note 4 might bebroken now. If you go to the note 4 reddit, this has happened to many people and has something to do with the solder degrading after a few years iirc. Best thing you can do is buy a motherboard replacement for around 60 on eBay if nothing else works. I have replaced 3 note 4 motherboards for people i know that this has happened to.

- Ran into another issue where I am getting this 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.'
- For some reason the Oldin froze and I had no way to stop the download process.
- I tried using Kies to install the recovery but cannot, I did look for SM-N910T ...but nothing.

^^^This. I just had to replace our two Note 4 after years of service over the last two months. Same symptoms as yours. It is most assuredly hardware related.
Even "better", from the two replacements sent by TMo, one failed within the week. The replacement just abruptly shut off and doesn't turn back on unless the battery is removed for 20 min. or so.
However, once it turns on it freezes. Try to boot to recovery, it freezes before even loading it up. One time the screen display even corrupted on me.
So, tldr, it is time for a replacement MoBo. Good luck!

You have a bad battery, replace with this one dont buy off the eBay they are fake

The new battery may initially help, but it sounds suspiciously like the mmc is beginning to fail. Wakelock app set to option 4. Only thing that worked for me.
