hi got my galaxy s5 model SM-900F from overseas it was a open phone and i rooted it. After a week it just shutdown and when i start it up it display all grey on the screen. It wont let you see the SAMSUNG logo with the powered by ANDROID screen. But i tried to push the volume key down it let me pass that all grey screen and lead me to the home screen but then after a few minutes it would freeze and become unresponsive. Tried to wipe/factory reset it on the recovery mode still same, also tried to flash the original firmware of the phone that i downloaded on sammobile website still have same issue. the all out grey screen when you turn it on the 1st time. Can someone help pls as i get frustrated on this. btw im in nz and the firmware my phone used was on the hk.. thanks appreciate ur reply..
Hello!
My S6 is rooted with Xtrestolite (2.3 I think). It has been like this for a long time, maybe a month. Then today, I simply powered off my phone. 1 hour later when I tried to power it up again, it got stuck in a bootloop. It keeps cycling between the 'Samsung Galaxy S6' screen and the screen where it shows 'Samsung' with blue things coming off it. I also have Xposed installed but I'm not sure if it's anything to do with that.
I have tried Power + Vol Down but it just continues and I also got into recovery (only when plugged in to the charger) but it didn't do anything either. Any suggestions as to what it could be? It's really important that my phone is working tonight.
Thanks!
Let me just go straight to the point your (s6 soft bricked ) all you need to do is to flash the firmware get it from. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/stock-firmware-official-stock-firmware-t3086387 ....its up to 1gb file

I've had my S7 since March. Worked flawlessly until around 2 weeks back. The first issue I got was that the phone stopped responding. I haven't linked that to any specific application. It happened at random. So the phone freezes and screen goes black. I used the Power button + Lower Volume button to power up the phone again and it worked. But then the no response problem happened more often. So I decided to go for a factory reset. I did this using recovery. But I continued to get the freezing issue. And the last time I got it was a few hours ago. But this time when I used the power button+ down volume button, the phone got stuck in a boot loop. I managed to bring up recovery to power down the phone. When I booted into recovery, I got the a dead android logo with a yellow exclamation mark in a triangle. I tried to power up my phone back, but it again got stuck in a boot loop. I know I can resolve this situation by doing a reset again. But I suppose this is not the solution as I will continue to get the freezing and not responding problem again.
Any advice please?
Thank you.

Hi mate
after you factory reset it , did you use the phone for a while without restoring any app?..so you are sure is not an app making the mess
My first option would be flash ( odin) firmware again.....
Check his guide
Use home_csc instead of CSC so you do not lose anything
I actually didn't restore any app after reset. I rather re-installed only 2 apps I use most. And I've been using these apps since I started using my mobile. I don't think they could be responsible for the crashes.
If I have to flash, I've been wondering if I could have a go at Nougat.
Would that be a good idea?

Hi
Yes you can flash nougat, seems to be stable......but still is a Beta version
Hi
I got the same problem ... did you find any solution for this problem ??
Replacing motherboard fixes this issue. Its not software related. Faulty board. With Nougat this will happen even more. I know because happened to me..
ohhh
how much did cost you for that ?
Hey, I bought a galaxy note 4 which as the seller said "doesnt turn on anymore or gets stuck on boot logo".
I can confirm this issue. first time it booted up and said something with "reactivation lock" I couldn't read all cz it just rebooted and is now either stuck on boot logo or shows "recovery booting" in a blue font in the upper left corner but nothing happens. Also I can not boot into recovery mode. The hardware buttons are ok as I can click volume up during booting into download mode. I searched the whole internet and found this unbrick thread: https://pastebin.com/7KQxRRNF which I followed exactly. not the first time I'm fixing such issues but this time I'm out of knowledge. this thread didn't work it ended up in boot loop. I used the correct firmware I guess?..
there are plenty of firmwares. my model: N910F (vodafone branded I think cz it was showing a vodafone screen before it got this issue).
I tried using Samsung Kies but it says my model is not supported. same in SmartSwitch (not supported model). then I downloaded an older version of Kies 2.7 and it says connecting but even after 20 minutes or so nothing happens. I reinstalled the drivers several times, I'm using the OG Cable plugged into the motherboard directly. no hubs or frontpanel things (laptop). the only thing I can do with this phone is go into download mode. I don't know if this has something to do with this stupid reactivation lock in Download Mode it says "on". but I find only tutorials how to bypass this when you can boot the phone "aka samsung account trick". so useless for me.
Can I flash stock firmware with reactivation lock=on at all? or is that impossible? If so how can I disable this stupid lock? I never had a phone which broke my mind as hard as the note 4.. and I had many phones from many different brands and actually thought china phones like xiaomi are hard to crack or set back to stock n stuff..
Please help. I can not power it on nothing happens. battery removed for 5 minutes while holding the power key. nothing. only download mode is possible. and only if it's plugged into my pc. what the heck is wrong with this phone? sending it to support center is no option.
Hey Samsung users.
my case is a bit weird.
i bought my s8 running nougat used it for 2 days and it was all good , so i received the Oreo update and updated it using the over the air when I received connected to wifi.
my phone started to reboot randomly even for 30 times per day , i tried several things like wiping cashe and the only solution that reduced the problem was uninstalling my installed apps. basically normal apps like facebook , whatsapp , spotify ,and even stock apps like calculator and music player.
today as usual I woke up picked up my phone and it started rebooting so i uninstalled some apps but it kept rebooting.
sometimes it reboots and get stuck at GALAXAY s8 boot screen [ not samsung flickering screen ] and all i had to do to overcome the boot loop is pressing and holding volume down and power button.
but one time it got stuck and boot looped once and for all. I tried to press volume down and power button to make it reboot again and overcome the bootloop but it rebooted and got stuck at the bootloop.
I tried to access recovery but i couldn't access it.
I can access download mode only.
my phone switches on itself when it is plugged in to charge , i can't turn it off completely to charge it while off.
I reflashed stock firmware and it succeeded using odin but the bootloop is still there.
please help me with my problem.
any slight help or idea would be a life saver for me.
sincerely,
Zack.
