The problem started yesterday when I was listening music outside on my GNE phone.
The phone had gone black and never opened for almost half an hour.
Then when I got home, I downloaded latest Turkey rom from Sammobile,
To perform a clean install, did a factory reset and cleaned cache from recovery.
When I plugged the phone on ODIN to install the firmware it said write error and the installation of rom has failed.
That's when the problems began.
After a few tries finally managed to install the rom.
When I restarted the phone, I loaded all the necessary apps. Then after an hour, the phone started freezing and not booting.
When tried to boot, it automatically goes to Odin Mode, and says in red "mmc read fail".
What to do guys? I'm really stuck and ready to break this god-damn phone!

I tried to update my rooted note but it just keeps rebooting. It goes through the set-up with percentage at the bottom, gets to 100% and then reboots like it's going to start. However, instead of starting, it just instead tries to upgrade again. It keeps going through this cycle.
I started it and used Odin to flash initial .tar with root in it and it's doing the same thing.
Please help!!!

Well, my suggestion would be to load up Kies on your computer. Connect the tablet, and see if you can do a firmware repair seeing as how you seemingly already tried to ODIN in another rom. Maybe you can try to boot into CWM and wipe the cache, dalvik, and factory reset, but I'm not so sure that will do anything for you.
OK. Used the update/tar from this file. Got me up and running but then gave me a message that update failed to install. I did, however, lose root rights.

As risky as I am, I checked software update and found another update--this time smaller in size. Downloaded and installing...Wish me luck.
OK, That's appearing to work! Machine is rebooting and is again "optimizing applications."
yeah, the recent update came in 2 flavors. stock to LI3 which was 75 and LH2 to LI3 which was 40mb.
Glad to hear you got it up and running!
I am asking this mainly because I hope I'm wrong about my own assumption.
My phone recently started randomly rebooting itself. At a certain point I woke up and the battery was dead. So recharged it and found it not getting passed the Samsung logo. Thought it was a xposed module since it had been acting up since I activated that again. So decided to disable xposed completely without any luck.
At that point I have tried to put a new rom on it. First time it rebooted during the installation throuwh TWRP. Second time it actually completed the installation and I managed to get into the OS.
But when I tried to install an application through the Google Play Store, in this case Chrome, it rebooted again and get stuck in the boot loop again for a while until booting up again but as soon as I tried to install the app again it crashed again and this kept going.
Have now also tried to install a different rom but the phone either crashes during the installation in TWRP or afterwards while it's trying to boot at the flashing samsung logo.
My assumption is that the problem is hardware related since it happens with multiple roms and even during the installation of said roms. But I really hope I'm wrong about this.
It's a SM-925F if that is important to know somehow.
Hello guys!
I am encountering an issue with my Samsung Galaxy S6 G920I. The phone suddenly started to restart on its own every 30 seconds or so. After some restarts the phone started to get completely stuck in a randomly time matter, and the only way to take it out of there is by doing a hard reset (volume down + power buttons).
I tried everything. Did wipe cache and factory reset in recovery mode, flashed a new stock ROM with Odin several times but it is still doing that.
The stuck issue also happens on screens like "installing update" or "erasing", after doing the ROM flash with Odin.
Any thoughts?

Try device initialization using SamsungSmart Switch. it Should solve the problem. But that method wipes entire internal storage. So backup before you do anything,
Device initialization is something like resetting it to factory setting by clean install of the firmware.
Hi, could you fix it ? The exact same thing happened to me. I was using stock firmware (I never rooted it or anything) and it suddenly began to reboot by itself. It can be stuck in a bootloop for 2 straight days and then suddenly boot normally and use it for a couple hours until it starts bootlooping again. After a month of having this issues I decided to flash stock 7.0 firmware with ODIN and also with Smart Switch but after succesfully applying the update the phone reboots with the "installing system update" screen and then it gets to 32% and it says "erasing" after which it starts the bootloop once again. I'm stuck with a $500 paperweight. I'm afraid it could be something with the motherboard any help is greatly appreciated!

just personal message me
My Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is not booting even after a factory reset
A mobile app. for Android was installed successfully and since then I’m only having issues with my Samsung mobile:
- Since the installation of both the Hockey & Mobile Banking apps, my mobile freezes during any regular action and after a few seconds the device auto-restarts itself intermittently; this happened during the weekend while in use;
- Sunday night I uninstalled both the Hockey & Mobile Banking apps and the phone continued to freeze and restart intermittently. I was able to boot in SAFE MODE.
- This morning after the phone was turned off and turned on, the phone is not loading; the boot is looping and unable to reach the menu. I’m able to boot in SAFE MODE.
- This morning I did a Factory Reset, when done I get the “welcome” screen and right thereafter, the mobile freezes, auto-restarts and the boot keep looping.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Hey guys, any suggestions...? I tried last night restoring the OS using Samsung Smart Switch application and the process went just fine the first time and during the setup process the phone just restarted against and for stuck in bootloop again.
I did a second attempt but after the PC is don and the phone boots it gets stuck.
Sometimes after restoring stock firmware and you get a bootloop, you have to boot to stock recovery and factory reset then wipe cache partition.
I know you said you did that once before you posted, you did that before you used SmartSwitch. Have you tried factory reset since restoring with SmartSwitch?
Yes, I did with SS last night; I did it again this morning and after completing the 100% software download, it started updating the device and at 97% it stopped and got the message "FAILED".
now as we speak, I restarted it again and now it's at 66^ downloading the files.
How can I perform a clean install using SS...? or do I need ODIN...? I want to keep the mobile as original as possible.
If you can find your stock firmware, download it and flash it with Odin, it's more reliable.
Maybe a stupid question: Where can I find my stock firmware...?
My info:
PDAIX / CSCI2 / PHONE: PHH (XFA)
I found the Firmware on SAMMOBILE: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s6-edge/SM-G925F/XFA/download/G925FXXU4DPIX/108273/
Is this a stock Firmware and reliable source...?
Sammobile is a very reliable source, if that firmware is the newest one for your model number and country/region/carrier then you're good to go.
I did install Firmware corresponding to my phone (PDAIX / CSCI2 / PHONE: PHH (XFA)) using Odin, I can use the phone for like 2 or 3 minutes and then it freezes, restarts and gets into boot loop.
Any more drastic measurements to take...? Is there an online tool to test the hardware function(s)...?
After flashing stock firmware, have you tried booting to stock recovery then do the factory reset and wipe cache then reboot.
Yes, I did...!
In ODIN, do I load only the "AP"...?
In most situations, AP is all you need if the firmware is an all in one firmware file, if you have a 4 part firmware then you need to put each part in its corresponding tab/slot in Odin.
Sometimes you have to flash more than once to be successful.
My phone is running like a horse now...! No more intermittent restarts nor boot looping.
I just did a clean install of Android 7.
The clean install of Android 7 went fine and now it's working back again, was because I changed the "Reactivation Lock" to OFF; I think this helped.
heyo - I have a G930w8 Samsung S7 (Exynos.) I don't know what CSC the phone has. It was just sold new-in-box on Ebay as an unlocked Canadian Samsung S7. I'm using it in the US.
I've had it for a while. While attempting to update today, the phone, well... didn't update. It was stuck updating for a day. Could not get into recovery menu, but Odin/downloading mode worked.
I used Odin to flash this stock firmware: sammobile. com/samsung/galaxy-s7/firmware/SM-G930W8/XAC/download/G930W8VLS6CSH1/288555/ to the phone, using the CSC file (not HOME_CSC.) It worked. I did not flash the userdata and didn't use PIT as neither are included in the sammobile package. I didn't use re-partition, because whenever I try that, Odin (3.13.1) fails to flash with "Can't open the specified file, line 1892"
So, post-flashing, the phone boots to a "Erasing" screen, then to an "installing system updates..." screen, stops at 32%, then goes back to "Erasing". After a while on "Erasing", the Android logo freezes. I left it in this state for 30 minutes and nothing happened - I now plan to leave it there overnight, but in the meantime:
- if I force restart the phone, once it reboots it tries "Erasing" for a moment, then goes into a permanent "No Command" boot loop.
- If I re-flash the firmware, it goes back to the previously described "Erasing > Installing System Updates 32% > Erasing > Frozen logo on Erasing" state.
- If I go to the recovery menu, the phone usually randomly freezes or reboots. A couple times I successfully selected the factory reset option, at which point the phone would print "formatting /data...". It remained in this state for 30 minutes with no change, so I am not sure if it's freezing or actually doing something. I intend to also try leaving this overnight.
Can anyone help me get this phone functioning again? I am not sure what's going wrong here, if I have installed the wrong firmware, if I have installed the wrong CSC, do I need to use a PIT file, etc.
Edit: The phone is working again. For posterity, here is what I did:
- left it overnight at the "erasing" screen. It was still there when I woke up.
- went into recovery, tried a factory reset. It almost instantly went through. Rebooted the phone from recovery menu.
- phone now did "Erasing" for a moment, then, reboot > glowing samsung logo > setup screen > rebooted (with no prompting) into bootloop while I was setting up
- re-flashed the firmware, removed SD card
- now it does "Installing updates > 32% > erasing" except it doesn't freeze on erasing this time, it completes "Erasing" and reboots
- phone now boots normally
- encountered a crash/boot into bootloop after setting up the phone, but re-flashing (this time with HOME_CSC) fixed it
And I'm currently in the phone, able to use it... hopefully no more bootloops. What a cluster****.
Edit 2: I kept getting unprompted reboots into boot loops after 5-10 minutes of using the phone (after flashing.) Re-flashing with HOME_CSC would un-bootloop it, but I decided to let it boot loop for 30 minutes to see what would happen. It eventually stopped boot looping and stayed on the Samsung logo, not booting into recovery or anything. I turned off the phone (power + volumedown) and started it up and it booted just fine. Phone now doesn't appear to be bootlooping randomly.
Edit to the edit of the edit - actual solution: The phone still randomly rebooted every now and then, although no bootloop. I ended up installing TWRP through Odin and hard-wiping the phone ("Format Data".) A normal wipe did not work. I then finally re-flashed the stock ROM and now the phone has been working perfectly for hours.
Here's to hoping future Android updates don't prompt two days of attempts to un**** the phone!
