Hi guys,
this is my first post on this comprehensive website which helped a lot in the past by reading slimmer issues and their fixes,
now I have hard one, my oldie Galaxy note, GT-N7000, stopped working with the following symptoms,
The phone suddenly stopped, black screen, I removed the battery for a minute, put it back, pressed power button the phone stuck on Welcome Samsung logo screen,
removed the batteries for a minute, pressed the 3 combination Home+Power+up the phone give the first screen of recovery Waring " A custom OS can ......, then two option Volume Up: continue and Volume down to cancel (restart phone), if I press volume down the phone black died! otherwise if I press volume up the phone go to " downloading don't turn off target" stuck forever, no other keys are responding, I had to remove the battery and start again.
when I connect to Kies, refuses the "emergency firmware recovery" as I don't have recovery code, as well as when I use "firmware upgrade and initialization" it prompt me that this device is not supported!
lastly when I am in downloading mode connecting to Kies, the application trying to connect keep circulating like trying to connect with no result.
I charged my both batteries to 100% , changed 3 PC's, used different usb cables, nothing worked.
If you have an idea to share, I would be much grateful
Regards,

Hi all, I think my problem may be a bit different, Here is how I got myself in this problem.
This morning I connected phone with kies and found out that there is a 2.3.3 gingerbread upgrade available (my phone has been rooted). I decided to upgrade, but when phone showed downloading screen, at that time my damn pc crashed. Now I unplug the cable, rebooted the pc and when on to do the same again, Kies found out that there was problem in past upgrade so it asked to do an emergency upgrade stuff, but now there was a different problem on the phone. All my phone screen displays is 3 images
Phone image, a yellow triangle with exclamation (warning?), and pc image, which to me means its not connecting to pc. On pc, phone is never recognized any more.
I tried to get to dnload on phone using Volume(up or low) + Power + Home for so many times but no success, if I keep holding 3 buttons it just keeps flashing those 3 icons on the screen and that't.
Any help will be appreciated.
pull your battery out. Put it back in.
Hold Volume down+Home button, while holding those 2 also hold the power button. Phone starts. Let us know what happens.
Nothing as I mentioned before I have tried so many variations including the one you mentioned still the same, that it keeps on flashing the 3 icons (phone+warning+pc)
Use the "magical key" : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
I came across that earlier today, however was hoping to find an easy solution.. Seems like JTAGing it is for this one now.,.,.
Thanks
Hold the power button for a good 10 seconds.
Then try forcing download mode. You may have to hold the 3 button combo for a bit, but don't give up. I've had it take up to a minute before.
Vol down+Home+Power
My Galaxy Exhibit II 4G is about a year old, rooted and i have CM11 installed. Everything was fine, I had it plugged in (charging) and i was downloading an app (Camscanner) from the Mobogenie store when suddenly the phone shut off and the battery icon appeared with the loading circle in the middle.
This did not stay on for long as the screen would go off and this would again appear. After pulling the battery and removing the charger, then reinserting the battery, the phone would just flash the SAMSUNG logo in this very same manner.
I am unable to get into either recovery or download modes and when i try this combination (VOL UP + VOL DWN) i get:
RAMDUMP MODE
Cause: Force Upload
I have been reading forums for hours and i have found nothing. Is my device bricked? What can I do to recover it? Please, any help would be greatly appreciated :crying:
What happens if you try vol. up + power, or vol. down + power?

Thanks for replying. Nothing happens. It just continues to reboot like I'm not doing anything. The only way I'll get a reaction out of it is with vol up + vol down
It can be tricky. This post may be clear http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32437850&postcount=6
The link you sent me to sounds similar to my problem, except I wasn't trying to update the firmware. The crash was spontaneous.
However, neither of those methods work. As soon as I put in the battery the SAMSUNG logo appears, then disappears and reappears and it continues like that... Pressing the power button does nothing, whether by itself or with the volume up/down button
I am beginning to panic
What happens when it's connected to power?

Anyway, after many hours of investigation I discovered it was a hardware problem. The power button was stuck and so it forced it to reboot repeatedly. It also explains why it (the power button) was unresponsive. Disassembling the phone and freeing up the power button solved the problem.
P.s. Your build of CM11 is boss
I have same problem with power button. Had to tweak it hard cause it was so sensitive.
It's the first time it's happened to me. Probably because I dropped it so many times
Strange, ...

I also get ram dump mode error when trying to manually boot recovery.

OK so I'm no expert or anything but maybe my experience with this Model might be able to help you a little bit. I have the same model and it was doing the exact same thing however I haven't rooted it. And I've since corrected the issue on mind particularly it appeared that it was the charge port and/or USB that either had a bad connection or possibly it was boot looped. However with me not rooting the I didn't understand how it could be booted Looped so I started playing around with holding the power button playin with USB things of this nature and what I found was that if I hold the USB to one side either left or right, this allowed me to help a boot farther into it sequence at first to just show the Samsung logo over and over then I could get it to get to the boot sequence about halfway through the boot animation until I finally got to the exhibit screen where displays its model and 4G status. I accomplish this by holding the USB to one side and pushing and holding the power button intermittently throughout the boot. Once I hit the unlock screen unlock the device and I immediately factory data reset it. I'm under the impression that mine was possibly I think that mine was somehow a corrupted bootloader or software still I don't know what caused it to backed up to this day occasionally it'll shut itself down and reboot on me that's why I'm here today I've got all the parts and pieces I need to flash a new rom and hopefully new software the new work over I'll be good to go I also cleaned the USB port made sure that it was still snug to the board all of the good stuff. I don't know if it'll help you but I had the same situation I thought you'd like to know that it was probably not what you were doing with the phone it may just be the software itself with this particular phone see I done nothing that you didn't had the exact same problems. I hope it was somewhat helpful if you haven't gotten it unlocked or re-booted yet. Then maybe just play around with the power sources and power buttons. And see if you can get the same results I did
Hello all,
I'm not literate in tackling troubleshoot issues with my phone, however, after a couple of months now trying to resolve my phone issue I turn to you for help. My XT890 (Razr-i):
is stuck on the Red M logo
A green light flashes when I plug it in to either the main charger or the USB port on my laptop; the M logo displays and the green light turns off
I've tried all the power button plus volume combinations - the phone turns off, vibrates and returns to the default M logo
When connected via USB, the phone is not detected (Not in Device Manager, RSD lite (6.1.4), USBDeview)
I've tried many suggestions in these forums, however, without access to boot menus on the phone via the button combinations or access to the phone via USB, I'm at a loss as to what I can do
I acknowledge I do not provide much technical information. If you can help with any suggestions I'd be delighted to hear from you.
Many thanks.
Been dealing with the same issue once two weeks ago and now again tonight - only difference is that 2 weeks ago I could only get as far as the motorola icon but now make it as far as the intel icon.
Try the buttons again.
Hold down vol down first and keep it pressed until the very end of the procedure, then press and hold the power button till phone reboots.
When you feel the vibration let go of the only the power button.
As soon as the menu appears you can let go of the vol down button.
This has worked for me every time.
No harm to have the phone connected to a charger while doing this as the battery has been draining
When you get into the boot menu leave the phone in that state till the battery is charged enough to reset it
Other threads and people are more knowledgeable about that than me.
Pretty sure my phone or some part of it is starting to fail at this stage - about 2.5 years old now, as It got a factory reset 2 weeks ago

Guys, please note that the RSA works ONLY on win7 or lower.
I've tried a couple times on win8 and win8.1 and it had the same problem as you (no USB recongnition of the device) . I had to learn by myself that it works flawlessly on win7.
This is the thread that i solved my problem when using 4.1.2 (now im having the same problem with KitKat, it got stuck on the Intel logo).

I hope it helps.
My phone suddenly restarted and stuck on Android One logo and not booting further. I've turned the phone off and started after few seconds and it was still stuck on Android one logo. Then I've tried to get into recovery mode by pressing Vol Up + Power but it was not working. Also it's not responding to the charger. No battery sign and nothing. It does not respond to power button many times. I've also tried to get into fastboot mode (Vol down + Power) and even it was not working. Please help!
It's not rooted and didn't try to flash/install custom ROM.

Take phone to discharge batttery and automatically turn off. Plug in to charger for few minutes and press and hold volume up,volume down and power for 2/3 minutes. He should be turn off and then you can go in to recovery.
Suffering the same problem.
I'm having the same problem. Exactly what you said. I didn't root my device or even attempt to do anything. I bought Nokia because they were purely stock and delivered some quality mobile phones. I've got only this phone as my daily driver. So tell me if you have got the issue fixed and how much did it cost and how long it took. It's been stuck with that 'android one' logo and a small message that reads 'Download mode' on top. I've tried everything. And what I'm worried about is, my phone's out of warranty and I'm a student. I hope you got it fixed for some reasonable cost. Please reply to me ASAP.
Dear all,
I was on beyond 5.3 with twrp 3.3.1.7 and I wanted to update everything. Magisk, root etc was working fine.
I downloaded the patched twrp file from the beyond telegram chat and flashed it as image into the recovery partition.
The installation was finished in 2 seconds, but stupid me chose to power off instead of rebooting the recovery.
So I tried to enter recovery using the button combo but nothing happened and I was stuck with the samsung logo.
The current status is that my phone only shows the samsung logo.
Holding the power button for a minute doesn't do anything.
Pressing the button combo for recovery mode doesn't do anything.
Pressing the button combo for dl mode makes the phone reboot. It vibrates for a sec, then the samsung logo shows again.
If I keep pressing all 3 buttons the phone keeps on rebooting and vibrating each time, but dl mode never appears. If I let go of the power button the logo stays and again, nothing happens.
So basically I can't enter dl mode nor reboot.
Should I let it run dry and try again or just throw out of the window immediately? :crying:
I let the battery drain over night. Phone was finally off.
So when I plug it in, the Samsung Logo appears and doesn't change. It just stays like that forever until the battery drains.
Pressing the power button doesn't do anything, no matter how long. It doesn't reboot nor does the logo disappear.
Pressing vol+, bixby and power again does nothing.
Vol-, bixby and power makes the phone reboot. The screen turns black, the phone vibrates shortly, the logo reappears. If I keep pressing the buttons the phone reboots again, and again, and again, mever reaching download mode.
If I let go of the power button and keep pressing vol- and bixby the phone stays black and won't even show the logo. Nothing happens. If I let go of either of the two buttons the logo appears again.
It won't boot, won't go into recovery or go into dl mode.
I'm doing all this while it's plugged into the usb port of my pc, and it doesn't get recognized. Samsung 300k tool doesn't recognize it either.
Now I know the meaning of "bricked" lmao.
Does anyone know how to possibly fix this?
Pressing only the power button for a minute literally does nothing. Like hell, how is that even possible?
You can try this to go to download mode:
Vol down + bixby + usb cable connect to PC
It's advisable to charge battery first before flashing firmware.

I tried that for like a thousand times already but now it chose to magically work somehow.
I think I peed myself a little when that ugly turquoise screen appeared and I screamed from sheer happyness.
THANK you!!!
The problem that doesn't stop giving lmao.
Got into DL mode, got odin to start, but after like 10 seconds my phone dies and odin fails.
Now I cant get into DL mode, but rather only the "an error occurred while updating the device software. use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software."
Could it be the battery that simply dies?

Yes most probably a discharged battery. Hopefully you can go to DL mode again after charging your phone.
hello,
I've and S10e and because an important app to me I need to go back to android 9 where it works.
I've read a lot info about downgrade, but no one says ROOT/UNBRICK.
Can someone inform if there is a way of downgrade without ROOT (maintaining the warranty).
thanks in advance
P.S.: Maybe too naive question, sorry for that
