Note 4 (N910A) unable to get into recovery mode

Unfortunately I left the phone on in its waterproof/dustproof cover, inside my fully-packed bag with no breathing space and in the car with windows rolled up under the hot sun for several hours.
Once I retrieved my phone it was already boot-looping.
It was very hot. I opened it up to see if there was anything burnt inside (motherboard, camera, SIM, etc.) but didn't see anything out of the ordinary (I'm no expert either).
It gets very warm quickly when I charge it.

I tried to get into the boot recovery mode to see if I could fix the loop by deleting cache or formatting or whatever tips I came across. It would boot, show the Note 4 Samsung Logo with the blue-lettered "recovery boot" in the top left-hand corner, vibrate, then restart and rinse and repeat.

The only hope I have is that it can get into download mode and I have not rooted the phone yet (and I have tried unsuccessfully so far). Is there anything that can be done to fix this? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

I can't connect to my phone when in fastboot mode

When my phone is in fastboot mode (blue LED) FlashTool log prints message "INFO - Device connected in fastboot mode" but this is all what I can get. Nothing else works in this mode. FlashTool wants me to set device into fastboot mode but it is in this mode at the moment.

Softbricked to download mode, unsure which versions are in my phone

I have a few specific questions at the bottom, but first, here's the long details:

I ran the custom ROM Hyperdrive RLS 16 (4.1.2) for years and loved it, but the past week I felt it was time to upgrade to a new ROM that was more up to date. I started to try out R3ARMED (4.4.2), did a full wipe in CWM and installed the zip files provided (the ROM and a d2att specific file).

Unfortunately, in my excitement I forgot to make sure that I had a 4.4 bootloader and modem, which seems to be rather essential for this particular ROM. The install failed and I thought I may have bricked the device, but I was able to update CWM and get back into recovery mode. This time, I got through the AROMA installer for the new ROM, but on reset I got stuck in a hard bootloop. It's pretty nasty--I can't use the key combination to reboot into recovery or download mode, and I only get as far as the opening "SAMSUNG" screen before the device blacks out. However, I can use a USB jig to force reboot into download mode--it's the only interface I can get with the phone at this point. ODIN recognizes the device, and when I use Heimdall and its drivers, I'm able to use those tools to interact with the phone. So I hope I'm not completely lost, but not being able to access CWM recovery mode definitely hurts.

Here's what I've tried so far to fix it:
- Without a USB jig, load recovery images onto a 16 GB SD card, insert into phone and power up (no successes, some images actually made it so the "SAMSUNG" screen no longer showed, others corrected this issue)
- Re-flash CWM with heimdall (failed)
- Used the Ultimate Android Toolkit to convert the CWM img into a tar that ODIN can flash, and tried to load it (failed)

I'm looking into trying to flash a full recovery onto the phone to see if that can fix it. But I have a few concerns:
1. I know that once my phone gets a 4.4 bootloader and modem, I can't go back to an earlier stock version.
2. I had an unsuccessful 4.1 -> 4.4 install attempt in the process of bricking updating my phone.
3. I have no idea if the install impacted the bootloader--so I don't know whether I can try a 4.3 stock flash or need to use some of the more recent phone dumps.

My first question is, as usual, what is the best route to take to recover this phone?
My second is, are there tools I can use for a phone in ODIN mode to check the version of the bootloader/modem, check on the integrity of the file system, etc. etc.?

I have a replacement phone on its way, but I view this as an excellent learning opportunity, and would love to hear some advice.

Tap to focus in video mode

Do you think we will get an update with this feature ?

The problem is, not only there is no tap to focus in the motorola camera app, BUT even when trying with other apps, tap to focus in video is not working (open camera for example) :(

LG G3 D855 Wont boot in Download mode.

Hi im new to XDA Developers Forum, i just tried this Solution( http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g...-boot-t3054977 ) and my LG G3 D855. Is in the same state as from User "DonnieDoezoe"
"Totally bricked my phone with these instructions Won't turn on anymore. Tried everything...only shows a trinagle if I connect to usb without battery."

Before i tried this. I had already rooted the LG G3 D855, and after these instructions i tried to reboot into recoveryTWRP( wich i flashed with flashify) i tried to reboot with Quick Boot (Reboot ).
After this my Phone doesnt work anymore and is just like in the state of a blacksreen( the phone is visible as LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port(COM41), the only thing that shows is a triangle if I connect to usb without battery.

I searched for solutions the whole day and tried to unbrick it with the LGFlashTool by flashing the .tot file and .dll, but wont work because i cant enter to the Download mode.

I Hope some one gives me hint :confused: in the right direction on how to fix this problem, would much appreciate it.

Color Mode? New Feature

So I have no idea how no one has noticed or mentioned about this feature in the new Moto X Pure Edition but it has a new feature under display settings called "Color Mode" where you can now choose between "normal" and "vibrant" screen colors.

Since they moved this year from AMOLED to TFT LCD this year I guess they wanted to give us an option to choose from

private mode not working after root

Please help me. After rooting I have lost private mode functionality. Any ideas will be highly appreciated.

[DISCUSSION] Priority mode settings

Hello all.

I'm coming from Paranoid Android back to stock 5.1.1 and I notice one major difference between PA and stock.

On PA I would set up the device to allow messages and calls to interrupt in priority mode from star marked contacts only. I would then allow Hangouts to make notifications even in priority mode.

Calls and SMS/MMS would only make a sound if they were from a star marked contact.

On stock ROM this is different. If I allow only star marked contacts to interrupt in priority mode, only calls from star marked contacts will start the ringer - but when I receive SMS/MMS they are silent. I then allow stock texting app to interrupt in priority mode - but now ALL incoming texts and MMS messages starts the notification sound.

Am I not setting it up right, or do you guys have the same problem?

Unable to Access Recovery Mode

Hello,
I was trying to flash a custom recovery onto my Galaxy S4 but it failed because whenever I try to access recovery mode now, there's an error on the top left in red saying "SECURE FAIL: KERNEL" and the text "Start Up Failed" ... "Your device didn't start up successfully. Use the Verizon Software Repair Assistant on a computer to repair your device."

I'm still able to access the other parts of my phone, I just want to get into a custom recovery so that I can install CyanoGenMod, but it's proving difficult. I'm even wondering if my approach is wrong? The directions on youtube or most sites don't seem to be working.

Thanks for any help.
