HI. HAVE NOT FOUND THIS FULLY ADDRESSED. HAVE THIS USED S4 ACTIVE . ONLY BEEN ABLE TO USE IT FOR 4 DAYS.-STOCK 4.4.2 UNROOTED .YESTERDAY IT DRAINED THE BATTERY TOTALLY WHILE CHARGING. GOT A NEW BATTERY AND IT STARTS OVERHEATING SO MUCH IT BECOMES HARD TO HOLD. THEN I WIPED CACHE AND DID A FACTORY RESET AND IT GETS STUCK AT BOOT WHEN I AM ABLE TO TURN IT ON , WHICH IS RARELY, IT NEVER GETS PAST THE BLUE ATT BALL.ALL IT SHOWS IT THE GREY BATTERY. mY PC WILL NOT RECOGNIZE IT, ODIN WILL NOT EITHEIR OBVIOUSLY. ANY KIND SUGGESTIONS??? WOULD LIKE TO THANKS FOR THE HELP
1. writing everything in capslock will not help you to get a reply faster my friend.
2. seems you bought a device with a dirty flash. someone flashed a custom rom like cyanogen, faced these issues, tought he can go back with a easy reflash, but didnt cleared the device by factory reset.
What i would do:
trying to get into recovery mode by holding volume up + power. if there is a recovery system on this device, wipe factory reset the device and flash a new fresh OS onto it.
otherwise you can use it as a paperweight.

Hi, I installed this rom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716088
and It's simply not up the home screen, I even tried to restart (by pressing the power button a few seconds)
For half an hour or so passed and he still displays the Samsung logo and nothing happens, I'm pretty stressed out right now and I have no idea what to do, It would be great if someone could help me, thanks.
Update: I turned off the phone for the meantime (I took out the battery)
Download and flash ROM from here ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 I recommend first install Gingerbread ROM, as you may need to wipe cache and wipe data, which is dangerous on ICS.After successfull flashing you can update to ICS.
Problem solved, thanks a lot :victory:
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
my galaxy note 4 (sm-n910t) caught in bootloop . i dont know what caused it. the phone simply restarts upto first bootscreen, ie upto 'samsung galaxy note 4' and then vibrates and then restarts.this process continues upto battery is down or i pull out battery.the phone is not entering to recovery mode but enters to download mode.
i have tried installing stock rom from sammobiles but it won't help.i have also installed custom recovery twrp but that also won't help to enter to recovery mode,
i am trapped pls help..
You didn't mention how you tried to install the stock ROM . Did you use Odin?
I just fixed mine with the same issue. I was able to boot into recovery and download mode but mostly download mode without bootloop when I had the usb cable plugged in. I used ADB when I could to boot into download mode, but the buttons worked too. Trying to restart the phone only lopped after the Google screen.
I followed several guides here to flash stock with Odin and wipe cache etc but none solved my boot loop issue. almost gave up but there is a video on You Tube that said the battery warping in the cause of the boot loop. The battery, after/during quick charge, may heat up and change shape causing the issue. Today I installed my new battery purchased on amazon and no more issues.
Now I am on stock and have to find a good rom.
If you do decide to flash back to stock there are a lot of good guides. You may find yourself stuck on the T-mobile screen for 15 minutes when booting for the first time but that is ok. If you still boot loop after installing stock and wiping cache I would try the battery.

hi OP,
did you find any solution to your problem?
Hello all. I'm also pasting this in the T-mobile thread in case it can be of benefit to someone. This is advice to use as a very last resort if you are experiencing the recovery bootloop issue AND you don't have the emmc failure bug. I had the recovery reboot, sudden shutdown with no warning, etc. issue for the past two weeks. I tried everything on Google and Youtube to fix my problem with no success. I flashed multiple stock ROMS and recovery tars (stock and TWRP) via ODIN, but nothing worked. Oddly enough, I never received the emmc error that I have read about. Also, in the few times that my phone booted normally, I even loaded the Wakelock Power Manager app, set it to partial wakelock and my phone STILL continued to bootloop. As a last resort, I bought a new battery, but the reboot problems continued in Android 4.4.4 Kitkat, 6.0 Marshmallow, 7.1 Nougat and 8.1 Oreo ROMS. Well, here is what finally helped me to get my phone back operational. I had a backup ROM from a previous install and a TWRP flashable version of the same ROM on my SD card (in case the phone did not stay on for the full restore). I put the phone into a ziplock bag into a freezer for about 20 min. (thankfully this time TWRP stayed on long enough for me to do the following):
1) copy all the files I wanted to save from internal storage to a computer.
2) performed a full wipe (Dalvic, Cache, System, etc. Like when flashing a ROM, but this time also internal storage. Note: Please do not wipe both internal and SD card, as you may have a difficult time trying to load the ROM file back on the sd card (assuming you don't have a card reader).
3) After wiping, I was able to restore my stock ROM backup (or you can just flash the stock ROM).
I can't be 100% sure, but I think my wiping internal and then flashing the stock ROM finally did the trick. Since this morning, the phone has been pretty much back to as it was before. In either case, I'm sharing this with the hope that it helps someone else.

Thanks sir! I have the same issue! it's working now after replace the battery
I've been facing a weird problem with my G800H since yesterday. The phone will reboot constantly. It will boot into android, I will even be able to open apps, but it will suddenly reboot after a minute or so. I didn't do anything to my phone for it to start doing this. The weirdest part is that the rebooting will happen even if I am in recovery mode (TWRP). Also, the phone will automatically turn on if I take off the battery and put it back in, something that never happened before.
I use stock 6.0.1 (rooted) and TWRP 3.0.
Things I've already tried:
Charging it;
Safe mode (same problem);
Taking off SD card (who knows);
Wipe cache/dalvik (phone restarts before finishing);
Re-install ROM ( Download mode (ODIN) doesn't open, insta-restart after 'press volume up to enter odin').
I really dont want to do a full factory reset, only as a last resort, as i don't even know if it will have time to do so, or even if it will fix it. Does anyone know a way for wiping the cache without having to format it ( takes too long in TWRP so phone restarts before finishing ), or maybe have some other way of entering download mode, maybe with adb, or finding out what went wrong. Any sugestions on what to do or what happened?
I (my wife) have the exact same problem, I bought a new battery which didn't solve the problem.
Also tried a factory reset, didn't help either.
It is a non rooted phone...
Next try is a custom rom, hope it helps...
Install an app that records logs like Logcat, set it in record mode and wait until the phone reboots. Then look through the file, study what happens near the end when the phone turns off. You'll most likely find the cause there.
Hello everyone!
I have a Pixel 4XL, bought it when the phone was released. Phone is fully stock, not rooted or flashed with any custom ROM, the bootloader is also not unlocked.
I pulled my phone out of my pocket yesterday and it was on the google logo loading screen that you usually see when you boot up the phone. I assumed that it restarted itself because it was too hot (it felt sort of hot to the touch). But the phone never rebooted itself, it was stuck in the booting screen forever.
I then tried various ways to restart the phone, through recovery mode etc. However, I couldn't get my phone to boot back up. I have yet to try factory resetting the phone as I do have some files in the phone I really would like to keep. Is there any other way to resolve this without a full device data wipe/reset?
Thank a lot in advance!!

You can try rescue mode and using the tool Google has online. https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/
Depending on the issue and what the tool has to do it may factory reset it.
Thank you! I will give it a shot!
I was hoping that sideloading the May update OTA would revive my phone but it didn't happen so I had to cut my losses and factory reset the phone. I really hope this never happens again...
As my phone was stock and the software never altered, what would cause a bootloop like mine?

A friend had the same issue. It appeared that his power button actually got stuck internally so he tried to press it from lets say different angles. It worked, he saved all his data and was fine.
