Oddly hardbrick - Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It began when I try to record HD video in performance mode. My phone getting hotter and suddenly restarted. I tried to turned it off to cooled it down and turn it back on. A similar issue occurred while I retry to record video and suddenly it is restarted. The odd thing is about to happen. It began to bootloop stuck in mi logo and restarted over and over again. It happened for several days. I tried to flash the rom using fastboot but none of it fixed the problem. Now the problem spreading where the phone couldn't turn on but the LED blinked red when I charged it. I need to charge it like more than 5 hours to make it on and still bootloop. Once I found it succeed reach the homescreen. Since I think the main problem is on the rom, so I tried to factory reset and guess what? It began to bootloop again. I'm so devastated and I'm very grateful if anyone has a suggestion to fix this. Thx in advance.

[Q] Random semi-brick

I woke up this morning and my phone would not boot. it would get past the Orange boot screen, as i am locked to Orange, and then i t would get to the sgs boot screen and stay there for about 5 minutes, then finally turning itself off along with a few random vibrations. I kept trying to turn it on, i tried numerous ways such as taking the external sd and sim card out, taking the battery out for 2 hours but the same thing kept happening. My phone was not rooted and has never been hacked in anyway, i have had this phone not long. It was working fine the night before. I fixed this by going into recovery mode, as i could get into both recovery and download mode fine, and i restored to factory settings from that. Now it works fine. Anyone know what was up with it and how i can fix it without restoring if it happens again. I didn't look it up when it was happening as i didnt have access to the computer,
Thanks
What you describe sound like a bootloop, which could be caused by many things, if it recurs my suggestion is to take it back to orange and insist on replacement/fix. I was with orange but hacked my way out of their crap software ages ago!

[Q] Random Restarts?

I got my watch two days ago, so far my watch has restarted 4-5 times a day for no reason at all. This is what usually happens:
Goes to Settings page
Vibrates for a while for no reason
Restarts
Steps 1-3 again a few more times
I've tried to do a reset on it to see if it fixed the issue but it still happens. It will eventually start working again after a few goes of me powering it on and off. Whilst this is all happening, I can feel my wrist getting warmer (like the watch is overheating or something).
Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if so, could you fix it? If not, then I shall give LG a call to get a replacement.
Thanks
In a full day use.. i do get one reboot.. Weird but not a big deal..

[DONE] Sony T - Need Assistance recovering from brick

Hallo,
i have been trying recovering my brother's Sony Xperia T for some time now.
Today i decided to create a thread because i have absolutely no clue how to proceed and i need some assistance.
Here is what was before the brick:
I installed the latest snapshot build cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-mint.zip from download.cyanogenmod.
My brother used it with pleasure until experiencing some minor issues like icons dis- and appearing again. But thats not the main issue.
The main issue:
Then one day the phone got into the state, where it is not rebooting correctly.
Unfortunately my brother can't remember what exactly happened, but he thinks the battery was low.
So this is not an uncommon issue as we now.
What i tried to solve the issue:
I basically tried every solution i found related to this problem and especially focused on the "[GUIDE] Recover 2012 and newer XPERIAs from SOFT-brick".
Yesterday i did the following.
I removed the battery and waited 5 minutes.
Then i inserted the battery again.
As im able getting into fastboot mode i flashed the boot.img of cm-12-20150715-NIGHTLY-mint before trying to start the phone again.
That worked fine again, as i already tried to solve the issue by flashing a new kernel from a cm build. But this time i removed the
battery before that to release all the energy in the chips.
After flashing i waited an hour before starting the phone.
So i pressed the start button and the red led starting blinking twice again of course.
Between the first contact to the issue and yesterdays try to solve the problem, i also tried the hard and soft reset, holding the power button with the rubber and stuff.
Maybe havent done all my "solutions" in the right order? I dont now.
The current state:
After the disappointment from yesterday i connected the phone to a wall charger for the night, where it is still connected right now.
I noticed an interesting thing after my latest experiments...
So the phone seems to be switching between red led and green led now. But thats a thing that i noticed before the first start after the flash yesterday i think.
There is definately no hope for me that it will boot correctly when i press the start button.
But maybe that has a meaning to you.
Here is what i noticed right now while writing the post:
So after switching from red to green led i looked at the circle.
The green led is lighting for 5-8 seconds and turning off.
After 2 seconds its turning on again.
This i repeating about 8 times until the red led is lighting again.
The red led i lighting for minutes.
What is important:
While recovering from this annoying state it is important no to delete the user data from my brother. There is some personal stuff he would rly like to keep.
Recovering this data is more important to him than saving the phone.
I would like to solve both issues.
Do you have any idea what to try. Please take my hand and guide me.
Thank you!

(Problem) S5 G900A keeps restarting

Hi guys. This issue just started happening a couple of days ago, it started when I was playing games (phone wasn't hot) then it turned off by itself. My battery was still at 80% so I turned it back on, after it started saying "starting apps" it turned off again and the phone is now constantly rebooting. It doesn't seem to be bricked at all as it sometimes boots to the menu but when i start tapping on an app it shuts off and does the constantly rebooting issue again. It could be a hardware issue which means I'm gonna need to send my phone to the service center for a repair but one thing that makes me think there could be a way of fixing this without paying a technician is, when i boot to download mode, it doesn't do its constant reboot issue. I was even able to flash a firmware via Odin but when the phone started to boot after firmware installation, It did the spontaneously rebooting in the middle of the boot process again. If any of you guys have any idea on how to fix this or if there's even a way to, Please help me. Thanks! Cheers!

Try flashing the experimental firmware from the rooting guide, and if that doesn't work then it is most likely a hardware issue, and I have a strong suspicion that it is.
If you have an external SD card, remove it and see if problems persist. Honestly that sounds like a firmware scrambled.

Stuck at no command error and freezing

Hey guys,
I have a problem with this phone. I got my relative's note 8 for trying to fix ( i'm not android expert ).
As she says, for no reason phone freezed and shuted down. After that charging problem started, and battery doesn't show real percentage.
After that i got the phone, and tried to go factory reset in recovery menu. Now phone stucks at samsung logo. Sometimes it stucks at blue screen with "no command" text.
Phone doesn't works all the time also. For example, somehow phone charged %100, after that i tried to open it, it stucked at samsung logo. I tried hard reset, screen off and no more screen. After 4-5 hours it worked again, but stuck at samsung screen again.
I send phone to trusted local repair shop. They couldn't managed to fix also, they reported me that it should be motherboard issue and they can't do anything about it. I don't know did they tried to install stock rom again.
I see no reason for motherboard issue. No water, no big damage or something else happened to phone. There should be a way to fix this and i seek your support here.

I would go with what the repair shop said personally. They certainly know a lot more than I do. Unfortunately things do just break even with no error for the owner themselves.
It is definitely worth trying to flash stock rom with Odin though.
