As I said, phone is restarting every minute, it cannot enter recovery mode by using 3 buttons. I've tried hard resetting, but whenever I press the button to erase it, it either does nothing or it restarts again. Also whenever I change some of the settings they revert after a restart. I've tried flashing some rooted roms with odin, and it said "pass" but phone still remained the same. I've tried flashing pit files, the three button recovery and all, but still nothing did any good... Is there any way I can fix this? Is there any way to find stock official images and install them without odin, like LG's software update kdz, or HTC official installer files? Is the phone just dead? Please help guys!
P.S I've posted it in general discussion too, because I don't know the right place for the tread! Sorry if I am making trouble of it!

Hello
I am in a great panic mode.
I applied this lagfix : forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7587405&postcount=417 and since I did it I cannot use my phone.
I am not able to start my phone. It shows me Galaxy S logo, and after that I hear the start up music but nothing on the screen (no animation). Pressing hardkeys does not do anything either.
Above all I cannot even enter my recovery mode. When I press volumedown+poweron button, the screen keeps showing me Galaxy S logo and it does not go any further.
Please help me if you know how to getaround.
Were you rooted when yoou applied update.zip?
Anyway,did you try to shutdown the phone removing battery,and then try entering recovery?
the fix did not mention I had to root my phone, it said it would self install.
Yes I did shut down after removing the battery, and then I am trying to get into recovery using volumedown+poweron button but I am not able to get into it. All I see is Galaxy logo and hear start up music after that with nothing on screen.
OK, I am able to get into recovery mode.. I was trying wrong combinations
Now what should I select I get these options:
1. reboot system now
2. apply sdcard:update.zip (will never do this again)
3. wipe data/factory reset (should I do this)
4. wipe cache partition
yes.. you should do 3.) wipe data. If that doesnt solve your problem, you need to flash firmware agian

Why did you choose to install something not on main page, something obviosuly not very tested and something 2 month old (god knows there are close to ten newer or more tested fixes).
If you can access download mode, than reflash. If not... Well, try the exotic methods (dont know them, as I have working 3 butons)
Hey, for a second I thought it did noy fix my problem as I did not get my animation screen and ony heard music.. But then suddenly it starts up
I think I lost my animation on start up though
I still see that MCR Scripts icon on app loader screen, How could I know if its enabled or disabled?
Thanks a lot guys.. XDA rocks .

I regret doing something like that.. But it was really confusing as there are so many topics on the forum and I was really tempted to solve the lag issue I started facing recently (I installed too many apps).
hey i have the same problem.. my phone goes up into the Samsung logo and hangs there forever, occasionally blinking and making a weird vibration. i've tried factory reset but that doesn't help..
How do i flash firmware again?

Hi all,
This was happened since yesterday. Suddenly my phone got stuck and reboot itself after few seconds. But It won't back again and stuck on bootloop. I was on stock rooted ROM with Philz kernel.
Then I've tried to reboot on recovery but It also very hard to get there. After 10-12 times I was able to go recovery, and I did full wipe there. But, I wont fix the issue. Some times It's booting properly( After pull out battery for 5mins ) but only last for few seconds. Very first time I press the home button after sleep or lock, phone get stuck and reboot and bootloop.
I've tried different ROMs, Kernels, even GB ROMs, Finally tried to fix file system errors with e2fsck. But nothing was solved my problem.
Please, anyone here had same issue ? Or any knows solution to fix it ?
Thanks
Anybody can help ... ??? I can work with this phone until it get stuck once. After that, bootloop. If I keep switched off and battery removed, after 10-30mins back, It's working again.
Please anyone can help me ?

try to remove the whole ROM with the kernel from recovery mod , i think there is an option for that in "advanced options" menu , so that ur device will show nothing when you press the power button ..
then download any stock rom and flash it with odin ,..
another method is to flash previous rom update , i.e ICS if your device is on JB , then via KIES update your device ..
hope that helps you

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I've tried formatting all partitions from recovey mode. and I've tried flashing GB ROMS via odin. every rom boots first time, but once it locked, it get stuck when try unlock. Then it wont boot again.
I've tried CM10.1 as well , but no hope.
The thing is, once it stuck and reboot, It wont even boot to recovery as well ( If I try 100 times, 1 time can be able to boot recovey ) . But for Download mode is anytime can boot.
I've never heard such a spooky problem before
any other ideas... please ...
Go to download mode and clean-install a stock ROM using ODIN. Then install PhilZ boot loop free kernel and you'll be on root again.

Hey guys
Samsung Galaxy Mini 5570 is a pretty old device now and definitely not worth to talk about, but It's for my aunt and she said i HAVE to fix it otherwise she will kick my butt.
This is the whole story:
Phone was running a very low android version (it was 2.1 or something) that i could barely install apps on it (Just installed WhatsApp), I decided to upgrade it to a higher version so i could install other applications like Line and Telegram for her, so basically i had to flash CWM file first because it was required, I flashed it using this link:
http://www.droidthunder.com/root-install-clockworkmod-cwm-recovery-samsung-galaxy-minipop-gt-s5570/
They said flash the cwm file and factory reset your phone but i flashed the cwm file and rebooted my phone without factory reset, everything was working fine :good: but i decided to follow the instruction so i rebooted into the recovery mode and factory reseted my phone (by my phone i mean her phone, but i'm gonna say my phone instead) and guess what, it never booted up again. stuck on Samsung logo.
But i could go into the download and recovery mode, so basically i followed this instruction:
http://www.droidthunder.com/update-samsung-galaxy-minipop-gt-s5570-android-4-2-1-cyanogenmod-10-1/
which is from the same guy, I flashed it using recovery mode and flashed gapps too, everything went normal without any errors. So i rebooted my phone and ............
a black screen poped up, I was really worried because i couldn't boot my phone, nor could i go into the recovery or download mode. I don't know if i could or not but the only thing I'm getting right now is a black screen or a backlight.
The only thing that seems to be working is when i hold Power+Volume UP button, my laptop can detect my phone (as Samsung CDMA Technologies) but can not flash anything using Odin, it stucks on "setup connection" message. Nothing else is working, I tried:
Home+power+volume down
Home+power+volume down+volume up
Power+volume down
Power+home
etc
I also tried a hundred different ways like completely uninstalling the drivers (with or without kies) pulling battery out, try those key combination while battery is out and reinsert battery while holding them but nothing is working.
I found this article yesterday which is for unbricking the hard bricked phones, but ADB can not detect my phone:
http://www.engineerthink.com/blog/2015/11/how-to-unbrick-hard-bricked-android-phone/
Please help me guys, And do not suggest me to take it in Customer Service because i would if i could.
Thanks in advance
Hello guys (and girls)
I'm experiencing a "throw out of the window" issue with my mother's s3 mini.
It stuck on a reboot loop. Common issue you might say. So, I will give you more info on that.
1) It will not enter recovery mode. Just ignores the keys pressed and keeps looping.
2) I can enter download (odin) mode. So, no Power-button stuck issue. And that rules out "Up" and "Home" buttons broken as well (as a reason not to enter recovery)
3) Using Odin to upload firmware? Operation successful, patient dead. Meaning: I have tried flashing TWRP and CWM, and guess what? Procedure is successful, but the outcome is the same. I still cannot get in recovery, or boot.
4) I have also tried flashing official rom, but nothing changes.
I will try flashing a custom rom, but my hopes are very few Any propositions on what do I have more chances to be lucky with?
Thanks for any possible help and the time to read my problem
*Edit: Grammar Q-)
After months of deliberation I finally decided to root my Note 9. It was the first time I've ever tried rooting and it seems to have gone horribly wrong. To root the phone, I followed the guide in the video titled 'How to Root Galaxy Note 9! [EASIEST METHOD]' on youtube which has an instruction link in the description. As a new user here, the forum doesn't allow me to post links yet, so please just type the title on youtube and it'll come up as the first result.
What I did was:
- unlocking bootloader
- Flash AP file with TWRP version 3.4.0
- Wipe data
- Since I was worried about using a software from an unknown source, I then flashed the official magisk v20.4 instead of the 'N9-S9_root_for_oem_issue_devices_v3' file recommended in the video.
After doing so, the note 9 restarted and showed the error message "Verification Failed, Unable to restart your device. The Integrity verification has failed. You need to reset your device to factory default settings. This will erase all your data.". I allowed the phone to reset.
Following this, the phone restarted and showed exactly the same message of 'verification failed' and no amount of going through the rebooting process resolved the issue. I googled the issue and was advised to flash the phone with Odin by going into download mode. I then tried to go into download mode, but the phone will simply not go into it and tries to restart the normal way. I also tried to connect to my laptop to see if I can flash with odin but the phone was not recognised at all by the computer.
I then tried to reboot using the twrp key combo and this worked. I then decided to try flashing with the 'N9-S9_root_for_oem_issue_devices_v3' file in the tutorial. Yet, this led to the same issue as with the official magisk file.
Looking at some rooting tutorials, I see that some of them recommend flashing CSC, AP, BL and CP instead of just the AP in the tutorial I followed. I then thought that perhaps the issue is I need to install a ROM on the device. I therefore tried to load the lineage 17.1 ROM in the micro SD card and installed it (top left option on twrp 'install') as well as the magisk and disable_dm_verify_forceencrypt zip files.
In hindsight, this was a stupid move from me - I did so I was in full panic mode at that point and desperate for a solution.
After doing so, the phone rebooted and showed a booting animation of a single blue curved line stuck with a circle rolling from right to left on it.
I left it for a while, hoping that it meant the new ROM was booting. 30 min later it was still stuck on the animation!
I then tried to reboot the phone. Pressing power button did nothing. I then tried different combinations and eventually power + volume up + bixby allowed it to restart in TWRP mode.
As of now, the phone is still in TWRP mode. The phone is still not recognised by my laptop and will not enter download mode if I press volume down + bixby when restarting.
I am fully aware that I've screwed up the rooting process and feel awful about it. It was the first time I've ever tried rooting and I really hope it is only a 'soft brick' and that my phone can be saved. I would really appreciate if anyone here could advise what I can do to complete the root process correctly from here?
Many thanks,
Sam
Is there a "download" or "bootloader" option when you press the reboot button in TWRP? My Note9 is on stock, so I'm not 100% certain myself. However if there is, that should take you to Samsung's download screen. This way you can send yourself back to stock if you give up on rooting your device.
BTW, I do recommend following a note9 rooting guide on XDA (it's not too hard to find) over a youtube video, since YouTube videos can often be out of date or a little sketchy.
