[Q] Neobox Ceci / Karbonn A18 - Will not boot.

I got a Neobox Ceci for my son for his birthday yesterday and after him loading some apps it will not boot up now, all I get is the Android in the bottom right corner. I have tried looking for information but can not find much.
I did get it into a factory test mode a couple of times but can not see how to wipe the memory (factory reset).
What could have gone wrong ??
Is there a way of wipeing to factory settings using the stock software or is it a case of returning back to Hong Kong ??
Any help would be welcome.

[Q] Camera issue

Hi everyone,
Received my s6 yesterday and got a problem with the camera.
When I launch the camera, I have a black screen et then a reboot.
A hard reset doesn't solve the problem.
I will try a recovery with Smartswitch tonight.
Anyone has the same problem ?
Thanks.

Galaxy S6 unresponsive and requiring rebooting. What to do?

Twice in the past week I got my phone out and it was off and unresponsive. I had to do soft boot with power volume down to get the phone working. This is something that I have not experienced with other android phones. I am on Verizon with stock Galaxy S6 running 5.0.2.
Is this a defective phone or some application causing problems. What steps can I take to troubleshoot the problem? Who would I turn to for help?
Having my phone randomly stop working is unacceptable as this is my primary line. I can't afford to miss calls. I need to get this fixed.

Go to Settings-About Device-Software Update. Update the software of your S6.

Tried that, my software is up to date according to settings update.

I have your problem too, you should try to install FXR Wifi Fix. It solved random reboots for me, now my phone just reboot when I download something from Play Store (maybe RAM issue).

random rebbots too
i have random rebbots to, during the day maybe 20 times
its freeze nonstop

tried everything but no luck

I found a "solution", reset your phone and don't configure wifi. If you never turn on wifi your random reboots will stop.

i am having this same issue too, waiting on a replacement at the moment. hope this one works better

The same here. I own a german (Vodafone) S6 (non Edge; stock 5.0.2; no root) 128GB und sometimes the phone will not respond to any button when I grap it out of my pocket.
The screen keeps black and only Power + Vol Down helps...
Disabling WiFi is no solution for me. Guys, it's a Smartphone ...
Will try the above mentioned Wifi fix. Thanks!

Been having this issue but a newer update came out and haven't noticed so far... AOE3..... Most the custom roms have previous firmware and I was experiencing soft reboots until yesterday!
Rooted SM-G920I
Latest AOE3 firmware

[Solved] Restart Loop, Samsung Logo Stucking and Recovery Mode No Access

Updated: The problem was a hardware problem and solved by a Board replacement
Hello
1. My phone Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2 [GT-S7582] suddenly started to restart itself again again.
2. I removed my SIM and Memory cards and reboot it but the problem still exist.
3. I switched it on in Safe mode to delete apps but the problem still exist.
4. I switched it on in recovery mode and to [wipe data/factory reset] and [wipe cache partition] but the problem still exist.
5. I tried to flash with stock firmware with different versions several times with Odin and every time it was successfully done but the problem still exist.
6. Then the phone stopped logging in and just stuck at [Samsung logo].
7. 5. I tried again to flash with stock firmware with different versions several times with Odin with different versions but the NEW problem still exist.
8. Now i can't Access Recovery Mode and the phone stuck at [Samsung logo with phone model] when i switch it on and when i try to charge the phone it stuck without charging.

Well not necessarily. This might help if it's getting stuck at Samsung logo :-
1. Go to stock recovery
2. Wipe dalvik/cache
3. Restart your phone

Thank you guys for helping. I have tried everything possible with software but it's useless.
By the way, i have just came from mobile center and they told me that it requires a Board replacement.

i did said it's hardware damaged
i've have this symptom before and it's caused by TSP failure, it can be various reason but those lag, freeze and especially bootlogo stuck are because kernel/bootloader are rapidly trying to restart a hardware part which is failed

Galaxy S6 - freezing and rebooting 50+ times a day

I've got a Vodafone UK version SM-G920F that has recently started to freeze, crash and reboot constantly.
I managed to back up my data and perform a factory reset from the Setting page, but it crashed 10+ times during the install process (would freeze at various different stages, either rebooting on its own, or requiring a Vol Down+Power reset)
I'm now on a fresh install, but it's still rebooting constantly. I managed to use it like normal for an hour today, but right now it's just rebooted 3 times and won't even get past the Samsung loading screen without several Vol Down+Power resets.
What other options do I have? And is anyone aware of a known hardware issue that could cause this?
I was considering flashing a different ROM, but I'm scared it would reboot during the process and corrupt something...

Maybe a battery issue?

a friend just gave me his very same model phone with the very same issues.. if I find out anything I'll tell you here, or if you solve it first please write down what you did.

Thanks Vibbuz.
I've been trying to download a stock firmware to flash via Odin, but download speeds from Updato are really bad.

So I managed to flash a firmware after installing Odin on a Windows laptop (painful trying to get it to work on my Mac)
Firmware installed OK, but after boot I was getting a constant "com.sec.epdg" pop-up box that wouldn't let me use the phone at all. Not sure if that's due to the tsar3000 firmware?
Wiped the cache and did a factory reset after booting into recovery, and now it's stuck in a boot-loop again (95% of the time it hangs at the Samsung logo animation)

Just tried using SamFirm v0.3.6 to find the correct file. Downloaded a 4gb file, but several attempts to extract only gives BL, CP, CSC files but no AP (throws up an Unknown Error during process).
So still stumped!

Yet another update. Left Updato running overnight and downloaded a firmware.
Flashed it with Odin, claims to have succeeded but phone then reboots and hangs at "Erasing" stage (Android logo is spinning, then stops)
I'm starting to think it's pretty broken...

I've been having this exact same issue since June. If your phone happens to boot try activating power saving mode (to reduce cpu speed) as soon as possible.
It seems that doing that diminished the frequency in which my phone rebooted. If it also helps you it might be a faulty battery that can't provide enough voltage. (I'm not 100% sure on this part though, just thought of it because of the apple batteries drama)
Please post your results! Looks like a lot of people are affected by this and it would be great if we could find the cause of the problem.

I just read your thread actually! Sounds very similar to mine.
I've got nowhere. I don't think it's hard-bricked as I can still access Odin mode on the phone, and sometimes boots to Recovery, but it freezes and various different points and is currently unusable (either freezes at Samsung logo, "Erasing" part after installing firmware, or once it started to run though new device setup then froze).
Went ahead and bought an S8, but still want to fix the S6!

Hi I have same Problem I send the my s6 for repairmen that Saied me this problem related to mobile Hard drive.
I didn't believe it and try some official rom and a rom from Philippine GLB solve my problem for 3 M/o but now developed as same problem whitout any successful rom installation.
I think this problem from incompatibility google play store version to my rom. please flash a custom rom without google apps and immediately after installation turned off data and Wi-Fi internet after 2 day whit sim card whit out any change in setting can use it.

Hello,
anyone found some kind of solution? Happened to me also - freezing, restarts and then my S6 stopped working.. Sometimes I can boot to recovery menu, sometimes it boots up to android (and then freezes again), but the chances are almost non existing. Service man told me the same thing as @ghasemzm - eMMC failure. Yes, it is completely possible, but i don't wanna believe it, because they only tried to reflash the rom. I've made some "google research" and found that there were some issues in power IC on S6/S6E. Could this be related to it?

Will test the theory and let the group know.

So i have installed philipines latest update 6.0.1 i think with PIT file provided on Sammobile.
I have tested it for a day with normal ussage like i set up every other phone and it still continued restarting.
Figured out let me test with no google account signed in and the phone is working perfectly. For a full day.
So i dont know what the problem is but i will try again with google account tomorrow for a day see what happens.
After that will install 7.0.1 uk update with PIT file for it and test with that.

I have the same problem and I am quite sure that it is the mobile hard drive.
I tried to use F2FS but didn't find a working rom for that.
Samsung refused repair because of root.... Never Samsung again!

same issues here - any solutions found? My best guess is hardware fault...
