Hi all,
I downloaded 5.0.1 factory image and flashed all the files (except for user data and cache) through fastboot and everything went smoothly....once the phone reboots, it asks for language etc - then connects to my wifi and gets stuck on "Software update" screen - it shows "checking for updates" and nothing happens. I tried rebooting and turning off the wifi connectivity and it still does the same thing over cell network. There's a skip at the bottom but it's deactivated so I can't click on the skip. Not sure why it got stuck on this screen....anyone seen this happen?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
I left it overnight but, still its stuck ont he same screen. I made sure I did flash Hammerhead
I made lrx22c - so it's not the issue of flashing wrong files
any help please?
Interesting thing is I tried to flash back to 5.0 and I still get the same error message.
I know it still has all my data as it automatically connects to my wifi.
Not sure what am I doing wrong?

Were you on 4.4.4 before? If so you're going to have to flash userdata.

I have following problems with my Nexus 5 16 GB (unlocked, not rooted and everything stock)
1. It keeps rebooting occasionally (more often than I would count as normal) without any apparent reason.
2. Whenever I receive OTA update it fails to complete showing "Error" on while updating.
3. Tried factory resetting several times to no avail all symptoms remain the same.
4. Could not go to recovery mode. It shows a red triangle with exclamation mark.
5. Flashed stock images from Google.
6. Worked fine for few days (seldom reboots, though) and could go to recovery mode.
7. Now recovery is again corrupted. Cannot go to recovery mode and it keeps rebooting every now and then.
I don't know if it is a hardware problem or software. I need to sell this phone but want to be fair so need to exactly what is the problem and what could be a possible solution to perspective buyer.
Thanks for long post. Any help is much appreciated.

You only have one issue here which is rebooting. If you flashed stock without restoring data /installing apps and it still reboots, send it for repair.

Yes I flashed everything stock (without keep any data/apps) and it still reboots. Initially I checked by entering into recovery mode and all was OK but now a red triangle. So it is a hardware problem
Thanks for your quick reply
Stock recovery always has that symbol

got the same problem since 4.4.3 came out, even got a replacement phone that does the same.. symptom a soft reboot, occasionally hard, every one or two days.
running 4.4 or 4.4.1/2 the problem disappears
only thing i found that helps is turning location on and having mobile settings to allow 3g.. i can go for up to a week like this before a reboot.. my personal settings of 2g only and location off makes it worse for some unknown reason.
Hello,
I have a problem with my nexus 5 on Terminus ROM, TWRP and blue kernel. My wifi stays blocked "activation du wifi en cours" (maybe in english : "activating wifi").
I have recently installed wifikill app. But I don't think this is a problem. Because I have removed this app. And no result. Then :
Reboot the phone -> wifi stay blocked
Full wipe and reinstall Terminus rom -> wifi stay blocked
So, another problem occurred at the same time, when the phone locks or I lock it manually, it restarts.
Have you some idea for resolve the problem ?

Wipe and flash factory images, DON'T INSTALL ANYTHING and see if it still happens.
If it does, then it's a hardware issue.
If not, then try the same but with Terminus instead of the factory images.
I have just try in flash the factory image, and the wifi still works not :/
It's sure that is an hardware issue ?

If you've flashed factory images and done nothing else right after and it doesn't work, then most likely.
Ok thanks you, i have finaly called google, and he send me a new nexus 5 but in 32 go "Refurbished" (mine was a 16go)
I am a little afraid of this mention "Refurbished". Wait and see...
I have almost all the threads open on this forum with getting resolving the issue.
I woke up last week only to find the phone continually rebooting.
I ordered a new battery - same issue
did factory reset - same issue
did wiped cache - same issue
downloaded sprint firmware and installed via Odin - same issue.
I bought this phone less than a month, although used. Its extremely frustrating.
Any help will be appreciated.
Hi, did u do something?
I also have this note when I do restore by Odin I see only logo Samsung (on top info "recovery boot" when I go to recovery info "no command" and boot loop.
I had the same problem with SM-N915P model, and here are a few steps that I did to pass the bootloop.
- Download this PIT file : https://mega.nz/#!RZEzQSwR
- Open software you prefer to flash ROMs (ODIN, Z3X)
- Select the pit file.
- Check Re-Partition option, Auto-reboot, F. Reset Time.
- Add stock ROM files (Try to install the last ROM that it worked for you. ).
- Flash it.
Best regards.
Do you have the decryption key? Has anyone else tried this option?
Same issue with the latest stock firmware from sammobile, I put it down, came back five minutes later, locked on Sprint's LTE screen. I tried to restore from my TWRP backup, factory reset, reflash the firmware in Odin (that fails for some reason). I managed to get it to "Welcome to your new device, preparing your phone, this may take 3 or 4 minutes" or whatever it says, then >poof!< it reboots.
Does anyone have any ideas for this? I'm stumped. It does have TWRP recovery on it, so there's that.

Thank you, very much!
Let's see what happens....
Has anyone got any ideas here, my S10+ was stolen last night, so I'm frantically trying to get this edge back in working order.
I've gotten it to the stage with the gears on the screen and "Android is upgrading apps" or something similar, with x out of XX apps being updated; however, it still reboots and won't get past that stage.
I've tried Odin 3.09 and 3.13, with the .pit and without and the attached picture is where I land "FAIL."
Any suggestions, threads, ideas?
Thank you in advance.
...aaaand I fixed it.
Thanks anyway!
Hi all,
Long-time lurker - used info here ages ago to mod a tablet, but right now I'm working on my fiancee's phone, which is an unrooted Galaxy S7.
Yesterday, her phone took a complete **** out of nowhere. It spontaneously rebooted, said it was applying an update, and then the Android dude fell over with an exclamation mark next to him. She had just finished recording some audio that she *really* wants to get back (a press conference she got into at Comic Con).
The message now on the phone is:
Phone storage corrupt
The data partition has been corrupted. You need to reset your phone to factory default settings. This will erase all your data.
I've tried to connect to Windows and I can't get at the device - I have no way to change whatever connection mode it's going into by default. I've also tried getting into the phone through ADB, but the device isn't recognized.
I could really use some advice here
Anyone?
Thanks,
-Jeff

Reboot into recovery/download mode and see if you can access adb. If not flash stock firmware in Odin (Not csc, as that will wipe data)
If flashing stock works, I would flash stock again after you get the data you want (including csc the second time)

Eek. The data header gets marked as corrupt when this message appears. Chances are it will reappear after reflashing and because Samsung encryption is proprietary it will be hell to recover. If Craz's suggestion fails you may need to chalk this one up as a loss
I'm really hoping you guys can help me out here. This is an S7 I bought from a Best Buy when I visited the US in 2017, and I got the Unlocked version so I would be able to use it back in my home country. Unfortunately, this is the second time I've had trouble with it in a span of 4 months and the first time it was a hardware problem and ended up quite expensive to get fixed.
Today I was using my phone normally when I decided to use the Google instant translation to translate something on my computer screen. That caused my phone to freeze, restart, and then tell me I was using an unauthorized flash and it was going to be locked, or something like that. Even after restarting a few more times, the phone would never get past that screen. I proceeded to factory reset/cache reset and from then on the phone just got stuck in a boot loop.
I learned that the fix would be to flash the phone. After a lot of work I found the G930UUESACSI1-20190930144640 firmware (the XAA version, for Unlocked) and successfully used Odin 3.13 at the Download Mode screen to flash my phone. It then restarted, went back to the blue screen, started installing some updates, when it was 100% it restarted again. Unfortunately, the loop remained. Galaxy S7 logo first, then the Samsung logo, then it just repeats.
I have also tried turning the phone off with the Recovery screen shut down option (since I can't seem to be able to turn it off with the power button right now), wait a few minutes, then turn it back on. Nothing changed.
Please, does anyone have any insight into this? What else could I possibly try, or what could I be doing wrong? I really don't want to send it to repair yet again in such a short time.
Many thanks in advance.

You need to clear the cache after flashing to get out of the boot loop.
Use the download key combo to restart. As soon as the screen goes black move to Volume up+home+power.
In the recovery menu choose clear/ Wipe cache, then choose reboot.
I apologize for not updating this thread before when it was still recent. The fact is that I didn't manage to fix my phone; clearing the cache after flashing did nothing to stop the loop.
I ended up taking the phone to the people who have fixed it in the past and after more than one month, they gave up. So I got my phone back and I want to try to give it another go before I just sell it for parts.
Unfortunately, my phone has come back even worse. Now it has no Recovery Menu to speak of, at least none that I can access; after a few seconds of the blue text on the top saying that it's entering recovery mode, it then proceeds to a blue screen saying: "Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software and is locked.". I can still access Download Mode.
I have attempted flashing a few firmwares that I believe should have worked with my SM-G930U. Odin listed the attempts as "pass" and, after restarting and going back to the Download screen, it says the binary is Official. However, after trying to restart the phone normally, it starts displaying the blue screen again, and then, after going to Download mode, the binary is reverted to "Custom".
I believe right now the order of the day is to get the recovery menu to work again so I can do all the cache cleaning that seems to be required after flashing firmware. Any ideas at all on how I should proceed? Is there something specific I should download to fix the recovery menu?
How many files are you flashing in Odin, is it just 1 file in the AP slot, or 4 files: AP, BL, etc.? Also, is your phone rooted?

Never rooted, was using the phone legit before it froze and entered boot loop. I flashed all 4 files, multiple times.
Someone tried fixing my phone a few days after I replied to this thread and some progress seems to have been made, but now the phone cannot get past a black screen with a "SBL Error! rdx_init!" in red text, and "upload mode" in yellow text. Still cannot access Recovery Mode, but Download Mode still works.
I did a little Googling on rdx_init errors and it seems I need a firmware dump from another G930U or something like that...any ideas on how I can proceed?
Flash it with Eng Boot in all slots using patched Odin. Reboot to recovery and wipe it. Reboot system. Then root it with advanced adb root. Links for all of this are here in xda. Enjoy

Sorry, I'm not an expert at this by any means, I'm not sure what files to get. So far I've found and downloaded the following:
S7_Oreo_Nougat_Adb_Advanced_Root_V10
S7_Oreo_Nougat_Adb_Advanced_Root_V12
S7_Oreo_Su_Binary_Only_ADB_Root
But I had no luck flashing any of these cause my binary is 10. Is there any more help you can provide me? I really don't know how to proceed

I thought I had one in my phone, but I don't. If you look at the thread where you downloaded the Root_V12, you will see it. It's near the end of the thread somewhere.
