I didn't want to make a new thread. But I've searched high and low.. And nothing has been answered. So here's my story. I have a note 4 sm-n910T. When I rooted the phone everything was fine and good. I then decided to give it to a family member. I flashed it back to stock.. All was fine for a while but it started acting up. Like randomly turning off and not responding to a charge or any commands to turn on into other modes... I had flashed stock again. All was good.. Till now. My madre and received a Ota update, downloaded and installed the update. When I pressed ok to reboot new update. The phone never came back on. So I went through all the fun stuff. I tried kies.. Kies days unsupported device connected.. There is however talk between the two because it's pushed errors onto my phone as well as has tried to download the stock rom. But every which way I've tried it fails. Next. I decided to go for custom roms... And flash cf-chainfire auto root. Then twrp.. Then install supersu.. Then a rom from twrp. Now here's where it gets interesting. Nothing would pass odin if I had auto-reboot and f.reset time checked.. Any and all roms.. Files..etc would only pass with auto reboot checked and f. Reset time unchecked. At first everything seemed ok.. I was able to actually get cm 12.1 installed as well as gapps. But only the one time.. Which you'd think was good enough. But here's what has happened and what I can't seem to fix. The phone yesterday after having everything installed and sitting at home untouched.. I came home clicked the home button.. And it came on.. I scrolled a few pages.. Thought.. OK cool.. Let's get madres Sim card in and call it a night.. When I turned the phone over.. (didn't even take our the battery) tried to see if I could fit the sim in.. Which didn't.. I then turned the phone back around just Cuz I wanted to make sure it was awake.. The screen was black.. I figured it was in sleep mode.. So I hit the home button.. No response.. I hit the power button.. No response. .. The phone had turned itself off.. And when I tried to turn it on it wouldn't. Now mind you the phone has these weird phases where when I try to install or flash a rom and it fails.. And I'm forced to remote battery.. A good portion of the time it won't turn back on.. Sometimes it can be instant.. Others.. A few mins.. Sometimes even longer for it to respond.. Right now I have been accessing twrp.. Wiping all data.. Davik...cache.. System.. One by one.. Then installing a rom.. I go for a reboot.. And I get a black screen. I need help.. I'm running out of ideas and basically just fishing random idea attempts. I'm no scared to brick it.. So all ideas are welcome. Plz. Thank you.

Also how important is f. Reset time? I don't totally understand it. Next.. What about having the roms and files I flash on internal memory instead of sd. I'm not sure if I can access the Internal storage. But if I can does that help. Also I cannot access Android at all.. I can either access download mode or recovery. I have been using an external battery charger to charge my battery as well. Due to it doesn't read the charge... But! It did read a charge just fine when I had cm 12.1 working.
I would suggest:
1) In twrp wipe system, both the cache's and also data
2) use ODIN to install the stock Note 4 ROM
see -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...uide-odin-to-stock-unrooted-firmware-t2957156
3) When it is finished unplug the usb from your computer as the phone is rebooting
NOTE you might want to uncheck Reactivation Lock in Settings - Security first

Answering question one.. I do that already. I wipe everything one by one except sd... Answering question two. I have tried that already and odin fails.. However I'm sure if I tried to flash the rom and didn't check f. Reset time it might work. But as for flash stock.. I have tried several times.. I can't say one error or another I'd a cause because I get a different one each time.. What is the purpose of f. Reset time in Odin? I've searched it and to me the explanation didn't make since.

Reactivation is unlocked. Also I wouldn't be able to change any setting in the phone.. As the phone does not boot into Android. I was just lucky enough to have usb debugging active before this all happened
I am not sure what that is for
But every time I have done a flash it works if you use the steps I had there. (Not really questions)
Sorry I do not have anymore ideas.

Are you booting your phone into download mode before you use ODIN?
(I know it's proly a dumb question but just in case)
Yes I am in download mode when using odin.

Just now I did another full wipe and wipe of cache, davik, system, internal memory and had a successful install of cm12. 1 with gapps.. Everything installed.. Clicked reboot and the phone never came back on. I will try your idea next. I have not tried an idea where I use twrp to wipe everything and reboot into download then do stock rom via odin. If the phone does boot into download from twrp recovery I will try this one time with auto reboot and f. Reset time checked.. If it fails I will try it again with f. Reset time unchecked. I am currently not by my laptop to try this so it will have to be much later in the day.
To boot into download mode: Power off Note 4, hit all 3 of these at the same time until it wakes and vibrates - Power Button, Home Button and Volume Down
I know how to do that lol. I know I'm a junior member. But I'm somewhat intermediate. So cm12. 1 has booted.. However it didn't from a reboot of a flash.. I just took a while shot.. And powered the phone on.. And it booted.. I'm pretty sure in going to run into the problem again.
OK - Well you never know!
I am only a senior member 'cause I am older than Dirt!
Lol. I'm oldish. And trust me this lucky catch I got.. Is temporarily. There is still boot issues. I fear when the phone goes off or is turned off that it won't come on. I do not have a sim card in the phone at the moment which means I can download helpful apps. Like supersu. .. But so far I was able to check settings and get what I can prepared. Also if like to keep this thread open as a log or research tool.
Alright so I like the rom sit most the day.. With minimal to no use.. Most of the day it was fine.. At one point I took a picture and it did as it should.. I cleared all open tabs.. Took another picture and I got a error saying camera wasn't connected.. Finally the phone froze up and rebooted.. And the Camera worked.. Gave it another rest.. Came back to it checked the camera and it was fine.. I put it away for like 10mins then decided to check recording. When I did the phone was not responding to turning back on from sleep mode. Now for as long as I can remember even before this initial issue started.. I was having thr same problems with the phone not coming back on from when in sleep mode.. I dunno what the cause is or hoe to approach it to fix it.
First attempt was to put it to a charger... Registered no charge.. So I removed the battery.. Gave it a few mins.. Pushed down power button.. No response. Something is off with the boot menu.. Like the boot img. File
And finally it's back on.. Normal boot.. I didn't boot from download menu or recovery.. But in all honesty I'm 100% sure this will just happen again.. It seems to happen when I put the phone in the charger.. Then take it out and play with it.. For now in going to let it sit till the battery is in caution. Then charge it. I still have not added the Sim and loaded apps.. I feel that will be a overload of cpu and will most certainly freeze up and crash the phone
Ok, so up to date now.. Here's what's going on. The phone struggles to reboot from any on screen commands.. Like if I'm in Android.. And hold power.. Click reboot.. Then say like recovery.. Or anywhere.. It just turns off... If I also do this in twrp.. Say like install a rom or supersu.. It won't reboot... But! After it turns off.. And I wait a while and power it back on.. The file.. Rom etc was installed. So I do now have supersu installed and busybox. But the issue remains..which is a unstable OS.. Nothing to do with it being custom os.. But there is something wrong with the booting process.. What can I download if any apks.. Or files to help this?

Might be stupid I know, but try wiping clean your SD card (back up a copy on your pc first) as well when you factory wipe and make sure that after that, you only add the files you need for recovery. Start up the phone after reset. To get a backup, if you're synced through google, you'll get everything back. If not, only copy your backup from titanium back into your SD card.
I went through a very similar situation last week. Long story short, it seemed the SD card had copied files which would interfere with the system.
Curious, did it happen after marshmallow update?
And did you try to downgrade back to previous lollipop version?
I assume it was Marsh that I was trying to Ota too. I was unable to boot successfully after that first try, so I honestly don't know.. I'm going to try your SD card idea. .. But once all that's done. Are you wanting me to redo a full rom install like through and wipe system, Davik etc etx? Or like wipe everything and start from like odin installing a recovery and so forth?
I ask these questions because.. What if I was to just take the sd card. And format the whole thing.. And out it back into the phone? I mean I might try that first then the other option.

Well even if you format and you put the SD card back in with all previous files, same might happen.
When you format, just wipe all. Then if you want to downgrade, you need to have the previous version bootloader and baseband FIRST prior to putting the firmware ROM.
A simple (restore) wipe would just keep you at current version. And you can't easily downgrade the easy way from marsh to lollipop. Believe me, I learned the hard way

well i have had cyogenmod 3.6.8.1 for awhile and everything works perfectly and smoothly but i just turned off my phone to switch to my new 2400mah battery and when i turned it back on i got past the splash screen but now its stuck at the android boot loop so i thought wait acouple minutes...and well.. no luck. i dont get it...any ideas?
try fixing the ext file system. It could have been messed up if you just took the battery out. If that doesnt work, try wiping and reflashing the ROM. Btw, does it work with the normal battery in?
wipe
if you can get into recovery then u know everything is fine. if u can get the update file for the rom on ur sd then wipe and flash it see wht happens then
Usually these problems can be taken care of with a wipe and a reflash of the ROM. Hopefully you performed a nandroid backup and can restore your settings. If not, there is really no other way but to wipe and reflash and lose your data.

well i shut the phone down properly but i tried what you said anyways... and on the first try it had an error and told me to run it manually..but i tried again and it worked so i rebooted but still no luck. i did a nandroid backup recently...could that possibly have anything to do with it?
and also...when i did the nandroid awhile ago...it got stuck at the boot loop as well...so i did the wipe/update and it worked. and now i turned off my phone for the battery change and this happens....it seems like maybe its something with the rom? idk...i dont see why a nandroid would mess anything up
i suggest to wipe and reflash. That should fix it.

Set up ADB using the guide in the sticky, and connect your phone through USB
type
Code:
adb logcat
as you boot your phone
see if anything is repeating. if nothing ever shows up, its possible that the battery could be defective

It won't start unless plugged it shows empty battery. sometimes when i unplug it stays connected. In usb settings if choose mass storage it seems to get in a loop of connect-disconnect. I have tried flashing different roms but it didn't fix. Any idea of what is happening? Could it be hardware problem?
I've got the same problem, I've tried every kind of wipe, flash with repartition, clearing stats and so on. I'm starting to suspect it's a hardware issue. The Phone seems to always think it's plugged into USB no matter what, it keeps rebooting to the battery icon over and over until I plug it onto a power source and then it boots fine.
After that I can get it back to normalish by rebooting with the power disconnected using the extended power menu in Darkys Rom.
Can anyone help? When I get back from my trip I'll likely flash it back to stock and send it in for repair, or just ***** at bell and get another new phone.
I'm having the same issue, I've searched all over internet and I found other posts with the same problem.. and no one has found a solution for this.
I think is a hardware problem. after having this I've bought a chinese compatible battery, and when I put that battery in, the phone boots up without even pressing the power on button, so weeeird!
With the original one.. there is no way to boot up without plug the phone. I've had the phone working well for more than 5 months
if someone finds a solution please tell!
thanks in advanced!
I had the some problem and more. I did something and this one has gone. I think i replaced a new update.zip in the phone and that solve it but i am not 100% sure. My phone starts normal but when its off sometimes the battery still flashes. In a week or so i will send it to waranty i think.

what did you did? so do you think it's a software problem?
I tried to use a non-original battery and when I put in this new battery, the phone boots up without even press any button. so something it's really wrong. if I try the same with the original battery.. nothing happens, the screen is black unless I plug the phone to the charger.
well, at least I can boot my phone without plugging it this way.
I look forward to know more details about this issue.
thanks!

unfortunately I've done the search in this forum and I haven't found any solution for this, I can't believe it!
regards!
This problem is back again. I can`t start the phone unless it is plugged. I am with the nervs down at this moment.
what makes me crazy is to not know if it's a software or hardware failure!
in my case seems to be a hardware problem unless the phone recognize the non original battery and that makes a software change that makes the phone to boot.
I'll wait until the gingerbread update, and if after update it doesn't work, I will bring the phone to samsung repair point.
I see that I'm not alone with this problem.
Maby if i could connect the phone on usb to pc i would do something but that dosent work either for me so god have mercy.
I had that problem for a few weeks. Went away with a firmware change. Flashed back to stock and then docs rom. No idea what it was. Just went away.
Are you sure the battery is charged? I had the exact same problem on cm7, turned out my battery ran flat overnight

Try this:
Format all your mounts in recovery mode with Clockworkmod. You can do this by going to 'mounts and storage' and formatting boot, system, data, cache. I did sdcard and sd-ext to be sure).
When you have done that install a 2.2.1 stock rom and the problem should be fixed. From here you can install custom rom's again.
Also try disabling any lagfixes (also via CMW)

OK, I'll do that thanks for the suggestion.
I only have one more doubt left, If I do that, after formating everything in clockworkmod.. What does it happens to the phone? is it going to be able to boot after formating all of this? I'm asking this because I don't know how to download the official rom without using kies and the phone booted up and connected via usb cable.
thanks so much!
I've got the same problem.
I thought it was me trying to flash JVK, but after flashing and reflashing 2.2.1 and 2.3.3 and back with bootloaders the problem stayed. I'll try the format "everything" from CWM, hope this will work.
Still abit strange
(BTW I recently was in sub 15 degrees temperatures, surely this isn't the case??)
I had a problem like this where I was getting USB connected coming up again and again and my phone not starting when it wasn't plugged in.
This sounds dumb and I may just have been lucky but I turned USB debugging off and it stopped, left it off for a day or so, a couple restarts later I thought I'd see if it was still playing up so re-enabled it and nope everything's ok again. That was a couple weeks ago and so far so good, I hadn't seen any reports of anyone else with this.
Might be worth a try
Oh I'm using Darkys 9.5 by the way
My problem got worst! My phone would not charge at all until i reflashed. It now charge and boot normaly without to have it plugged, but my pc don't recognize it, not even in download mode with odin. I quess it has something to do with the hardwhare because both times the problem started when i charged it in the same plug.
i had the same problem,I just cleaned the usb port,plugged in the cable without connecting it to the pc or power source,and it started now it's ok
Me too
Another victim of this issue.
I was running a Darky Rom when I first noticed it... I think I was on Ficeto's 2.3.5 JVT. s
I have tried several steps to rid myself of this issue, with no success:
1. Reflashed ROM CWM
2. Reflashed Kernal CWM
3. Factory Reset, format internal SD, & ODIN flash Stock ROM.
4. Wipe & Flash Juwe ROM.
5. Each time, I also wiped the Dalvik Cache and battery stats.
I have tried leaving the battery out for a lengthy period, I have tried draining the battery all the way down, charging all the way up.
At least with the Launcher I am using now, it has the "Reboot" option instead of just turn off. However, I have to make sure I have a USB cable close by and charger in the car all the time now, just in case it runs out of juice or locks up for some reason and needs a battery pull.
Frustrating... Of course, the warranty expired the end of October.
If anyone has successfully completed the recommendation of formatting boot, system, data and cache and flashing stock Froyo? If you have done it, PLEASE post your detailed steps and the result so we don't waste time repeating something that won't work.
I was eyeing the SGS 2, but with all of the issues the market went through with the SGS, I am thinking maybe I should get away from Samsung...

Yesterday I suddenly found my phone to be turned off by itself. When I tried to turn it on again, nothing usually happened. Sometimes however, it looked like it would turn on, but the white bootlogo would barely show, or maybe up to a second, and then it would go black again. When connecting a charger the charging icon would show for a second, and then black again, and still the phone wouldn’t boot. Recovery or download mode wouldn’t work either. I was hoping it was only the battery that had just died, since the phone won’t work at all without the battery, even with the charger connected. But when I tested a friends battery today, it would still not boot, and my battery worked fine in his phone. But, at least it turned on each time now, showing the bootlogo for a second, and then all black again. Recovery mode still won’t work, but I’m able to get it in download mode. If I connect the phone to the PC by cable first, it won’t start or go in download mode, I have to get it in dowmload mode first and then connect. I was using stock system v2.3.3 from about a year ago, but with Clockworkmod kernel.
So what could have happened? I figure the system is either corrupt, or even wiped?
Or could the phone itself be badly corrupted?
I also have to mention, that a few months ago the internal and external SD-card was suddenly wiped, and I got a message about error on one of them and had to reformat.
Since download mode is ok, I hope there is a chance to maybe flashing the system again with Odin?
Is ther any way to connect the phone to the pc and get access to the memory to maybe copy whatever data still there, if any? Or can I reflash to just put the new system on top of everything without formatting?
I think your sd connectors are corroded or damaged. For your data try to flash the semaphore kernel by Odin to get a recovery (link ). After flashing, go into the recovery look for "mont and storage" and select "mount usb storage" or something like that. With your pc connect your device and copy your data in your pc like an usb stick.
If it doesnt work, say goodbye to your data and try to reflash a rom by Odin

Thanks, I'll try that tomorrow morning at work, don't have the time today.
At least I do have a complete backup from about two months ago, so it's no disaster about the data. There's not really anything that important on the phone, it's just all the work setting everything up like I want it again.
Please reflash a stock rom with odin...
I was able to flash semapfore kernel, but still I couldn't get the phone in recovery mode.
Flashed stock firmware 2.3.3 (last nordic version), and the phone booted fine, but lots of old programs kept crashing and messing with the system. Best of all, everything on the internal sd was there, so all the latest titaniumbackup was there. So I copied this to the PC, did a factory reset, flashed CF-root again, copied the titaniumbackup and clockworkmod-backup to the internal sd, and cwm-backup is beeing restored as we speak. Then titaniumbackup will be restored and everything should be fine for now.
I'll be leaving for holiday in a week, so I don't want to use lots of time right now to do a clean setup of the phone. There is way too much other things I have spend my time on before the holiday. But after the holiday I think I'll just have to do so.
Thanks for helping.
For your apps who crash you have to wipe apps data (with TB).
The apps crashing when I just reflashed didn't really matter since I was going to install the backup anyway.
But a few apps kept crashing even after I flashed the backup. So wipe app data was what I eventually found out I had to do.
And so the same thing happened again.
But this time it doesn't seem like reflashing will help at all.
Crappy trashphone, it's been a disaster rom day one.

The phone won't boot, and won't go into recovery mode, only download mode.
When I turn it on the boot logo only shows barely, and then nothing happens, just like last time.
I've tried reflashing several times using Odin, but this time it doesn't help, phone still won't boot. I've tried both without repartition, and wit repartition (and pit).
My friend got me to put his phone on cm9 after using froyo for a long time.
The strange thing was that the method to get into recovery suddenly changed from volume up, power and home. For some reason it is now both volume buttons, home and power ..
Just thought I'd share this since your recovery should work after a kernel flash.

Yes yes it seems Im totally ****ed. Looking at a GS II X now for $230, I was on Boypes CM7, then went to CM10 Official without data wipe, worked fine, and then went to AOKP without data wipe, worked fine, then went over to CM10 unofficial without data wipe, worked fine, but WiFi wasn't working anymore, I guess somewhere in the go over to AOKP stage I messed that up, whatever, I didn't wipe data its cool Ill just flash another JB Rom and it should be all good so I flash CM10 Official and nothing, just bootloop.
So now im thinking, HMM I'll just go into recovery and start fresh with CM7 and leave it there til CM10 is stable, but of course my G-Key is broken and Im pretty sure CM10 Official doesnt even have G Recovery, so NOW Im thinking well it seems Im ****ed.
So NNNNNNNNOW Im like well, I'll have to plug it into S/W Update mode and let that LG Updater Tool take me back to Froyo, so I did it, but bootloop.
Now Im scared. And I remember Oh yes, the wonderful Smartflash tool and that completely fun method, so I dl Canadian Koodo .kdz, get it over to CP/AP FLS/BIN whatever and plug it all in and set it up and its all good to go and what do you know, it STILL won't get past bootloop.
It's possible to end your OB folks, just saying, don't feel too invincible.
Edit: My G-Key works, just have to press really hard
Do you know that forst boot takes time?
Leave it for about 7 mins
You could have installed titanium back up via sd card mate and recover
If you did erase entire cp, i'll probably do the work but your imei won't be here!
If they fix it and still no imei...make as if you didnt know xD

I dont understand what you mean sorry
But yeah I left it booting for about 30 minutes
Don't worry. He's mistaken. You can't accidentally wipe CP with flashing you need to forcefully do it in Smart Flash Tool. If you get bootloop your phone is recoverable. If it is bootloop when phone buttons flash on and off slowly the whole time. If no LG logo appears and no lights then it dead though.
Do this to get into SW Update
Code:
Take the battery out.
While Holding Vol-up plug it into your computor (Keep holding up until it says SW Update)
Use a Tool Like Smart Flash Tool to Recover. Here's a [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448803"]link[/URL]
I've done that twice, still bootloop with blinking leds
If its that you in the picture. Thats normal, Well, Hot People always suffer from over heating objects (a)
No its not I have a **** and balls, I find it funny that you want to hit on some random guy on XDA though lol...
So first off thanks for reading and trying to help.
I am having the following problem:
First of no updates were installed recently. I did update to the latest December update in early January.
Few days ago my phone SM-N910T froze up and seemed to have shut down. After being unable to restart i pulled the battery, put it back in and nothing happened. I left it out for 5 minutes plugged it back in and the phone booted up. But as soon as the screen turned off the phone heated up and would not turn on. I've been dying to just start anew anyway so I tried using Kies to restore the phone however this failed twice.
I downloaded Odin and Stock N910T3UVS3EPK2.
I flashed TWRP Recovery. And then tried to Flash the firmware which failed several times and i started getting errors.
“Could not do normal boot, mmc_read failed”
Kernel is not seandroid enforcing
as well as others.
After rebooting it several times it started working I was able to log in and set everything up, but the phone started freezing up again.
I blew everything away did a Data Wipe in TWRP. I then downloaded N910T3UVS3EPK2 Stock Rooted Odex from here.
When trying to flash it, it failed several times. and i started getting No Pit Binary errors. After trying several times with different cables and USB ports it finally took. But i am still having the same problems with freezing and restarting.
THE ONLY THING THAT HELPED: And this is a band aid fix, is I installed the wake lock app from the google store and enable Partial Wake Lock.
The phone is stable but only until i restart it at which point it goes into Download Mode and i have to restart several times and prey it boots up.
HALP! :crying:
I had the same problem, and MANY MANY others have this issue too. For months i fought with it without any success. I ordered new motherboard and now my phone is working again.
Please check General forum. There is a big thread about installing KitKat from another phone which apparently fixed this issue. Dig around that thread and read about it, might be a solution!

I saw that thread, but most of those people started having the issue after the update. If the kit kat update fixes it then i'm at a loss. And since a new board fixed the issue for you that means most likely the the memory is beginning to fail. That's how SSDs die anyway.

Do you have "T3"or "T" model?
The files given below is for "T" variant do not try if you have T3.
It sounds crazy to tell you but trust me this will work.
Put your phone in freezer for about 2 hours then do the steps below if you want to recover your device as it was before.
Go to download mode
Flash 5.0.1 modem via odin choose (CP) tab this will fix emmc read fail error.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347820086
Dont reboot to system go to download mode again.
Then flash full 5.1.1 lollipop ok1 firmware
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=312968873555011894
.once it pass dont let the phone reboot.
Go to stock recovery and wipe cache & data factory reset.
Reboot wait 10 minutes dont touch anything let the phone rest.
Complete setup and dont download anything any apps go to software update and take all marshmallow ota updates.
Once finish do factory reset again and you will get clean operating system without any issues.

I have the " T " variant
I've read this before. I am a logical person I want to understand why this would work. Also when placing the phone in the freezer (i feel like i'm being pranked) do i place it in there with the battery?
I will definitely try this since I have nothing to lose. But i have a phone heavy next few weeks and i don't have a backup

Without battery in freezer.
No idea how it works but good thing is hopefully it will work cuz lot of users even recover their hard bricked devices by this.
As you said you have nothing to lose so give it a try and make sure be patient dont give up and do this when you have enough time to do at least couple of hours.
I should mention that I had an 'injured' 910t after upgrading, and the freezer thing worked for months. I think there is a thermal issue and something is physically getting de-soldered in the motherboard. @Trex888, I will try your fix - I got a NEW Note4 2 weeks ago and it is running 5.0.1 and it bricked....
IF ANY OTHER COMPANY SOLD A PHONE WITH STYLUS, i WOULD TOSS THE NOTE4 IN THE TRASH....

so wait the freezer thing was not even a permanent fix?
No, the freezer sometimes helps you get a bricked device so that it turns on. It doesn't fix thermal issues. I believe it helps some electrical connection that has broken come into contact again.
I can't go to download mode or recovery. I tried both ways But there is no way to use my device.

So i recently had a baby, thus i had no time at all to get my phone to work. WakeLock app was working alright.
But last night the phone just died. all attempts to revive failed. I left it in the freezer until the morning and it booted up but quickly locked up after about 5 minutes of use and became unresponsive.
I tried your method.
I failed right away. Modem could not be written..
I tried flashing the pit files like i did previously and that failed as well.
Any suggestions are appreciated. I am phoneless
EDIT#2: After I left the phone in the freezer for longer (3 hours). The odin firmware update went through !!!! This furtherst i've gone so far.
I went into recovery and did everything you said.
BUT now i have Kernel Panic Upload Mode on my screen with a little green android
EDit#3 few battery pulls later. And an over 15 minute wait time on the android logo and then about the same on the t-mobile logo i got into the OS. I did the OTA update, the phone heated up and a few restarts later it froze up like it did previously
Back to square 1
EDIT: THIS helped for a few days

Day 2: and all went back to the phone not waking up and after screen is turned off
