[Q] Galaxy S not booting. - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
A couple of days ago my Samsung Galaxy S I9000-GT (from Australia) stopped working after I activated Voodoo lagfix (in Darky's 9.1 Extreme). When I rebooted it though, it didn't boot properly, but just cycled through the boot screen and didn't actually boot up. I tried flashing it with Odin but it didn't work, it ended up getting stuck with the progress bar about 10% complete. This morning, however, I tried to turn it on again and it wouldn't even try to boot to the initial boot screen, and I could only boot into recovery by pulling the battery out.
Anyone got any idea how to fix this?

P6200 bricked - but sometimes boots and CWM OK?

Hi guys,
Really sorry to ask about this but tearing my hair out!
I have a P6200 UK model. I installed CWM v6.0.1.0 and it worked fine. The intention was to install Galaxy ROM HD (build #06), so I downloaded it, put it on my SD card, and installed from CWM recovery. The install got stuck on "Flashing boot" - so after around 15 mins I reset it.
It went into a boot loop on the initial Samsung logo. Luckily I'd previously re-flashed stock HC with Odin (to cure a dead Wifi problem caused by, I think, an errant install of Busybox) so I did this again, rebooted, and the system came up, text started scrolling up the screen, followed by a red error message (see picture) and a reboot. I was then once again stuck on the initial Samsung Tab 7.0 Plus log. I repeated the process and it didn't even get past the Samsung logo.
So I thought I'd try the newly released ICS Rom (GT-P6200_ATO_P6200XXLQ1_P6200OXALQ1) - this seemed to install OK, then half booted, did some text type installation stuff with the blue Android, then rebooted again, finally getting stuck on the Samsung logo with blue pulsating behind it. It never gets any further than that.
I tried flashing HC back - same result as earlier. I can also reflash CWM and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It seems I've run out of options.
So - question is - where (if anywhere!) can I go from here?
Help greatly appreciated, many thanks!
have you tried a system wipe in cwm? if not do a system wipe and reflash HC using odin.. same thing happen to me 2 days ago.. I think something is up with HD rom

help infuse sdmount error, phone wont boot

ok people...in need of help.
back story, my phone has been force closing and freezing frequently, but this is not unusual with this model phone....infuse 4g AT&T....i would have to restart my phone at least 4 or 5 times a day. that's not why i'm posting though... last night around 4am i used my phone for the last time before i went to sleep. it had 100% charge. today when i woke up it was on the samsung logo. i tried to restart for like half an hour trying various methods, hard boot, taking out battery, etc. nothing. still on samsung logo. then i tried to enter recovery and wipe/format.... kept getting an error...all options chosen kept giving me a fail to execute message. last resort, i tried to restore to stock using odin. i did this twice, first time with the re-partition checked (it got stuck), second time without it checked (worked, installed stock rom but still stuck on samsung logo) third time with re-partition checked and it got through the installation just fine, all passes all green lights. phone still boot loops but now not at samsung logo, at "rethink possible" screen. i try to go to ui menu before booting and i cant, it just takes me to recovery where none of the options work. i'll upload the screen that i get when i try to install or select any option. any help appreciated!

Galaxy s6 G920v stuck in bootloop, have tried everything

Hi guys, so recently I bought a Galaxy S6 Verizon off of eBay. I got it for fairly cheap because it was stuck in a boot loop. I usually have no problem fixing stuff like this, but this time is different. So the first thing I tried when I got the phone was to do a reset and cache wipe from recovery. I rebooted the phone and it showed a screen that said "Android is starting, optimizing app 9 out of 31." when it got to 21 the phone rebooted and went back to 9. It did this several times before I attempted to wipe/reset again. I then downloaded the tar file G920VVRU4CPH1 and flashed it in Odin. I did a manual reset before the phone booted, and it is doing the same thing again. reboots to a green screen where it tries to optimize apps, stays there for about 20 seconds, and reboots over and over again in the same cycle. I have tried all other stock marshmallow roms that i can find, Odin won't flash older ones, (assuming its not letting me downgrade). Also another weird thing, every time I flash, the blue update screen goes to 32%, stops, erases, and reboots. Phone is on 6.0.1 version MMB29K.G920VVRU4CPH1 as seen in recovery. Any help would be gladly appreciated. Thank you!
I am having a similar problem with loading new rom. The farthest it gets is 32%. Sometimes it doesn't get even that far.
I ended up just buying a trashed s6 and swapping the motherboards. Only way I could fix it

S7 Edge Bricked totally... SM-G935F

Hello all. Since nougat update my phone has started having boot up issues. I had software update a month ago and after it was updated it failed to boot up. It just froze on Samsung logo screen and i had to wait for the battery to drain to start it again. So that time it started after a good few tries. Now last night it had another software update and again after it was finished it rebooted and failed to boot up. Gets stuck on logo screen/ samsung screen. I tried booting in safe mode.. nothing ... gets stuck again on black screen and have to wait for battery to drain. When it gets stuck i can't do anything not even reboot with any of the buttons. I've tried going into recovery mode but once it boots in recovery it shows Installing System Update or something simmilar and in 1 second gets stuck untill battery is drained again. So basically i can't do anything on it. It won't boot up in normal/safe mode or recovery mode... Any suggestions ? I've tried samsung switch on my PC but it needs the phone into recovery mode and i can't get this far. What else is there to do ?

S7 Restart cant boot system. TWRP FROZEN

Hello
I am very frequent with root and roms etc. but i am facing a big problerm with my s7.
i had already rooted it long back and had twrp, worked great for a year.
but suddenly around a month back it started restarting on its own. and at times it would get stuck at the Samsung logo.
i didnt care that much but then it kept on increasing and happened very frequently. the system will boot up and within 5 seconds it will get frozen, and no its not an app coz it happened in Safe Mode also,
also the screen would become hazy, like the tv does when there is no chane, become greyish.
also when i boot in twrp it would get frozen, like during wiping cache or installing, it will just get frozen in between
i tried upgrading to oreo somehow it started but when i restarted it wont start up. it would be stuck at s7 logo.
TWRP still getting frozen also i have tried other versions, no luck,
then i installed resurection rom for s7, it booted up, was working fine but then when i restarted it would not boot up system.
thats the problem i am facing now,
i tried down upgrading to Nougat but now it will say updating system and then erasing, and then it would get stuck wont boot up the system. it will keep restarting and then get frozen.
Literally spent more than 24 hours on this and no luck
please help
