[Q] Samsung Kies Update, Phone Failure

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S, which I had rooted and had done the lag fix for.
I decided to update the Android OS to 2.2.
So I removed the lag fix, but didn't remove root.
I then tried to officially upgrade via Kies.
The upgrade went through, Kies confirmed completion, and the phone rebooted.
However on reboot the phone gets past the "Samsung Galaxy S" logo and stays on a blank screen, vibrating every 20-30 seconds.
I can restart in recovery and download mode but don't know what the correct steps are to get the phone working again.
If anyone can offer some advice it would be much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Try a factory reset from recovery.

No need to flash the older firmware again?

had the same problem, factory reset solved it for me

Thanks for the prompt replies guys,
This worked.
Thanks very much

Hey hi. I too had the same trouble.kies said upgrade was but the phone wouldnt boot after restart. Unfortunately for me I ended up going to samsung service centre for fixing this problem. Not sure how to do factory reset when phone doesn't turn on. Three button also didn't work for me..

Have you installed TWRP as recovery or are you trying to use built in recovery?

Volume up, home button, and power as its starting up.
This will work with stock recovery or team win recovery.
Then factory reset/clear data.

Looks like you messed up when rooting...no big deal.
ODIN back to stock, then use the CF AUTO ROOT again, the flash TWRP in ODIN and all will be okay.

The only thing I can think of is to flash twrp with Odin, then flash a custom ROM with twrp.

Hi again flashed with open recovery 2.8.5.0 and got a pass
Then tried the same with t800 xxuiank- t800 xarianiihome.tar the blue line almost gets across then I get a fail !.

So twrp flashed right? Now just transfer any custom ROM of your choice to your tab s and flash it in twrp. That should get you back and running.

OK thanks just down loading from Samsung its in a zip do I put the zip in odin or how to go about it as my computer won't show tab other than with Odin many thanks

You can flash another firmware with Odin. Or you can download this zip and boot into recovery and transfer this zip which you can download. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59164015
Just factory reset in twrp and install the zip.

Hi I am unable to get my t800 to boot into recovery I can only get download mode tried loads of times to shut it off I need to hold the power button and volume down or it will not shut off then it restarts almost instant to the Samsung galaxy tab s screen feel like I am losing the battle !.

Thing is your problem has been covered a million times with the solution posted just as many times. there's no need for repeat threads.
The little search button is your friend or even read the actual lollipop thread.
I advise any happy flashers out there to read the WHOLE thread, skim reading will land you in trouble.

Note 4 Issue-Still not fixed

Hey guys hopefully someone can help me out. I have a friend that has a note 4 that seems to have a mind of its own. It gets to the note 4 screen hangs and then reboots. Ive tried the following:
Kies upgrade and initialization
Odin stock lollipop
odin twrp 2.6.1 recovery
The note takes all of those with no errors. When the note reboots it hangs and then reboots over and over. I tried to get to recovery but hangs just like it does when its booting and restarts. Also unable to get to safe mode. But does get to download mode no problem. Any Ideas?

If you have twrp, have you wiped
System
Data
Dalvik
Cache
Internal?

Go into twrp recovery and do a factory reset then reboot the phone..

Thanks guys for the replies I've tried both and the phone still reboots. Any other ideas?

Which model was it? The newer T3 or the original T? If the newer T3, make sure you are flashing dog1 firmware.

Its the N910t t mobile variant not sure if its the new one or not. How do I find out?

What stock firmware did you flash?
Sent from my SM-N910T3 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2

stock lollipop 5.01 cod6

Were you upgrading from kit Kat? Where did you get the firmware from? I'm not sure why you are rebooting...trying to figure it out.
Maybe try upgrading TWRP to a more recent version.

Try odin flashing twrp and then booting into recovery and flashing a ROM
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app

Edit still not fixed. I took it to a repair shot and they changed out the power button and that still didn't fix the problem.
I use to think it was a hardware issue but now I think its a software issue. When I got the phone it had knox 0x1(3) so I think someone messed up the software on the phone and its restarting because its unstable.
Here is what I tried to do so far and nothing has changed still reboots either half way during boot or once booted all the way just restarts by itself.
Odin stock cod6 firmware (fails)
Kies firmware recovery
Odin twrp 2.8.7 with root and pop rocks rom.
twrp recovery wipe and factory reset
Nothing works

Are you sure it isn't the t3 variant? Normal note 4 n910t roms will not work on it.

Try a different battery i had the same problem with and s3 couple years ago phone will power on and die during boot i though it was because it was rood and had a custom recovery I had a back up from TWRP I did a restor and didn't fix any so i flash the latest official firmware from samsung and still had the problem then I decided to switch the battery from an other s3 and the then it got fix and the other s3 star doing the shot off act is worth trying
Also if the phone was running fine before what was is on so you can tell what model you have and how long you friend had it the SM-N910T came with 4.4.4 and so far can only be update to 5.0.1 officially and a SM-N910T3 is a much more recent variant and it came out the box with 5.1.1 and the box should show SM-N910T3 so if he had it with 4.4.4 or 5.0.1 before any root or custom rom is a SM-N910T and if you didnt flash the bootloader for lollipop and still on 4.4.4 you may get problem like those too

ensure you are on Either T3 or T there are two models of this phone now. ...

Some things I noticed wasn't asked.
Have you tried a new sim card?
Is there a MicroSD Card in it? Take it out and see what happens?
Those may seem unrelated but I have had those symptoms with other devices because each of those.

Also when using ODIN, try different usb ports if a flash fails the first time. I've been in your position before and such a seemingly simple thing made all the difference.

Need Help with Galaxy Note 4

Anyone please help. I am fairly new too the whole Android scheme of things and everywhere I look I see gibberish all talk about Roms and flashes and I don't know what to do. I have a Galaxy Note 4 in a rebbot loop, I tried to root with this thing called kingo root. And I rebooted my phone and it doesn't turn on it goes to the T-Mobile screen then powers off and repeats the process. I need to know how to factory reset the phone. I already tried to wipe the phone in recovery and same problem. I don't want a root or custom OS I just want to get the phone working. And as dumb down as possible. I'm so used to the one click jailbreak on iPhone and not the complexity of rooting and it screwed me over. I just want to know how to reset the phone and get it working.
Thanks
Lollipop 5.1.1 was what it was running and I have an SD Card if I need to reset from external since ik that's an option.

Look on here how to Odin 5.1.1. Thatll give you a fresh start. I suggest staying away from kingoroot or king root. Use cf-autoroot.

This could help you also - you could try to re-root and flash the kernel in this video that should get you going.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDCTQtCaUig

Look for a program called odin 3.10 and dl it to deaktop. Then dl 5.1.1 firmware . Also dl twrp 2.8 or higher . Once you have everything put phone into dl mode by holding power ,home and volume down. Once in dl open up odin and connect your phone to computer. Click pda and look for the twrp and flash it. Once done put phone into recovery by pressing power,home and up volume. Once in recovery wipe to factory reset. Now put phone back into dl mode and do the same with the firmware you dl. Make sure you extract the 5.1.1 file and it's a tar so you can flash it. Once it's ready flash the tar and you should be back to stock with no problem.
