OK, so I have now been playing around with things for about 3 years. I have experienced something recently that I never saw before. I had a Tmobile Note 4 (SM-N910T3) variant for almost two years. The entire time I had it rooted. I downloaded Kodi, and two days later things started acting crazy. I would open an app, the phone would go into the app, and then restart. So I went in and re-flashed the original firmware. I rooted once more, and the same thing, restarts out of no where, or gets stuck in black screen for a while., or just gets stuck and eventually restarts. So I tried a custom firmware, same thing. So I thought, maybe it was something to do with the root I was using. So I re-flashed the stock firmware, and this time, I did not root the phone. It was still happening. Also, when I go to flash stock firmware, or any firmware, or reset the phone, it takes forever. I tested it against another exact same variant, and it took 8 times as long. The only thing I could think of was that when I DL Kodi, I burnt either some of the on board memory, or the cache. Has anyone ever heard of this, or is there something I could do to find the problem? Thanks as always.
OK I guess no one knows
Did you upgrade from kitkat to Lolipop or Marshmallow?
Maybe your emmc got corrupted.

If different os software produces similar results, that points to a hardware problem IMO.

Hey guys!
I have posted before but since then the issue has exacerbated to the point where I'm at my wit's end.
I have the SM-P907A AT&T version of this tablet. I bought it second hand and started experiencing issues almost immediately, although nothing as bad as what I'm going through now.
It began with the odd blue-screen and very rare restart. It quickly escalated when I created multiple profiles (user ids). The restarts would happen entirely randomly but without fail within 10 minutes of operation no matter what I did. Oddly enough, it would NEVER restart when connected to a power supply, though I have drawn very little from that.
Thusly, I factory reset my tablet and hoped that would fix the issue; to no avail. Then I decided to Odin flash the stock ROM. Again no joy. Restarts were persistent and regular when the tablet wasn't connected to a power supply. I then rooted the tablet, installed Titanium Backup Pro and proceeded to freeze all apps/odex-es related to Samsung Knox. As some have posted, doing this helped them out. Not lucky enough, I guess.
My questions:
Did my setting up multiple users somehow mess with the tablet in such a deep and integrated way that even factory resetting, re-flashing stock would not help? Is that even possible? My firmware version is P907AUCU1AND7. I'm going to manually update to Lollipop but if my meddling with the multiple users "broke" something essential, will that help?
No, proppably not

I don't think that using the multi user functionality has anything to do with the issues you are experiencing. I have 3 user on my tablet and using it for a year now. Both on KitKat and Lollipop that I am using now. Both rooted, KitKat with Xposed also. Never had issues with blue screens and reboots.
Issues with US devices have been posted regularly and explanations have been posted. Don't focus on multiuser for the issues you experience.
I' am using the SM-P905 International version (EUR)
PDA: P905XXUABOG1
CSC: P905EURABOG1
Ridiculous
Okay guys. Seriously ridiculous. I downloaded the lollipop ROM but got an error when adb sideloading it because it requires the previous firmware P907AUCU1ANK2 for it to update properly whereas I have the one older than that: P907AUCU1AND7.
Can someone help a brotha out? Post a link from where I can download it?! Maybe share their stock rom file?! Pretty please? I've managed to find only TWO results on google. One is a mobilefileserver result requiring that I Pay $60. The other is a Chinese site requiring that I pay significantly less but in a way which is baffling me at the moment.
Any good guy out there who can help??????

Random restart is the problem of cracked battery connector. Re solder the battery connector will fix it permanently.
Read the thread " Flickering Screen " in Galaxy Note or Tab Pro, you will see they all have similar problem like yours and the fix is simple.
No software or upgrade will fix the hardware problem, regardless Kitkat or Lollipop.
Okay, So ive been banging my head against the wall for 2 days straight now with this problem so ive finally come to post about it to see if anybody has ANY idea how i can fix this. I have searched high and low for anyone who has come across this problem and i cant find another poor soul stuck in this predicament.
I have the D850, and have had it since last July. It was Bumped the day that it came out and ive been happily running roms on it since. I have honestly probably tried every ROM that was ever released for this phone, never had any issues.
I had flashed back to stock maybe a few weeks ago bc i had never done so, and after flashing a million roms i figured id try out straight stock for the first time in a year. SO i flashed the kitkat stock rom, and booted up everything was fine, then there was maybe 2 updates that i did OTA. I knew lollipop was out so i updated to that and all was well. I eventually got weary of straight stock quickly so i rooted and installed some of the fun stuff. Now this is where i noticed something i hadn't had before- when i would boot into TWRP i would get an unsecured boot error: error 1300- or at least i think that's what it said...Everything would flash fine and boot up so i didn't think much of it, but now that im having the issues im having, i think this is where it stems from.
Fast forward to 2 days ago- i figured i would flash back to 100% stock because i will be receiving my 6P next week and was going to donate this phone to my aunt bc i have taken such good care of it i figured id hand it down to a needy relative instead of get $20 bucks for it on ebay- All goes well i get the Blue screen with the 3 on it, pull battery and reboot. Everything seems normal..att logo...welcome screen..i go to touch the screen and its frozen. then reboots. weird. it does this a few more times, sometimes staying alive for up to 3 mins before freezing and rebooting again. Sometimes it even screams at me- no joke- it will freeze and make a high pitch screeching noise then shut down. scared the Sh*t out of me the first time it did it.
Ive tried everything people...i have downloaded fresh tot files/tried 5 different computers/fresh installs of flashtool/LG PC suit/hard reset/ran in safe mode/changed flash settings form upgrade to Board- to no avail. I honestly don't know how the phone hasn't died yet bc i think ive flashed the thing 30 times in the last 2 days from various computers. Remember- every time i flash in flash tool it passes, its only when it boots back up that it freezes/screams/reboots.
Sorry for the long winded post, but i wanted to give you some context. I'm going to try and mess around with it some more today but i keep getting closer and closer to throwing it off the wall bc this is frustrating. I think my problems would be solved if there was a lollipop tot file to flash, but i looked around and couldn't find anything. Thanks for reading everyone, any ideas are welcome. I'm out of warranty so ill try ANYTHING to fix this. At this point even if i FUBAR it i don't gaf bc its broken right now anyways. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks guys and i hope this never happens to you

If it's making noise and freezing after flashing, that sounds like an hardware issue. Since you've already tried reflashing it several times and it still does it nothing else can really be done. You can try selecting board_id in flash tool at the tot selection screen and try that.
Also I always gotten secure boot error when booting into twrp on my LG phones I've rooted and loaded twrp on them.

Yea man i tried that and it it boots into a screen that says DO NOT TOUCH SCREEN and then just continues to boot to that and i get a fail on the flash tool . thanks for your tutorial btw, thats what i used for all this troubleshooting. i found a thread about actually taking the phone apart and shorting it out and then trying to flash. i am going to give that a try if i cant get this f0cker to boot up correctly.
wait- did you mean select board DL?

When it continues to boot what happens? Flash tool is supposed to fail.. Once the phone is out of download mode flash tool will fail as its done and has no connection. Once flash tool hits 80/85% its done. Never heard of the LG phone and taking it apart to short it out. That would be something if you had a brick and the phone doesnt go into download mode.

Strange. But yeah once phone reboots it's done. Flash tool percent means nothing. But very strange.

oh well it was a great phone while it lasted. Thanks for the input.
Hello everyone,
This is my first post on XDA so please forgive me if I'm doing something wrong (I also posted in the T-Mobile S6 Forum).
So my story, I got a refurbished unit G920T at Swappa, I updated to the newest version directly (G920TUVU3DOI1) and it was working fine for the first week or so. Then the reboots started happening, I didn't give it too much thought but looked into it anyways.
At first I thought it was a problem with the WiFi and I tried to keep it off for a while, and it did work for a day but again the restarts kept happening, and now with the phone turning off during the night (no apparent loss in battery mind you).
Then I went to rooting and custom kernels.
I installed unikernel v8-0002 through Odin3_v3.10.6 and I tried removing some Samsung apps with TitaniumBackup in case there was some conflict happening but the restarts kept happening.
Then I installed a custom ROM, "XtreStoLite_ROM_v2.4_Deo-Mod-Edition_XXU3COI9_G920-5-F-I-T-W8-K-L-S" to be more specific.
And to my surprise it worked great, no restarts or shutdowns for about 2-3 weeks, it was great!
But then out of the blue the restarts started happening, they started slow, about 2-3 a day.
But after a few days they went to 10-20 and after that 100-200 a day.
Something was definitely wrong. So I installed the original firmware again (G920TUVU3DOI1_G920TTMB3DOI1_G920TUVU3DOI1_HOME) and booted to the stock firmware, restarts kept happening of course (didn't expect them to stop).
So I retreaded my steps and installed multiple other kernels (Unikernel V9, Vindicator, multiple different flavors of them). Also I installed multiple ROMs (Arrow_ROM_v6.0.0, and DN5 - S6 FLAT - EDGE v4 OJ5 - deodex) but nothing seems to work;
I did multiple wipes, storage wipes, cache wipes, factory resets (from GUI and twrp-2.8.7.2-zeroflte) but every time the same thing happens.
I did notice that the phone stutters and freezes, a behavior that I have not experienced before.
I installed CatLog and got multiple log files when the phone restarts but all of them are different and there is no "pattern" to be found (at least in first inspection). I want to upload them but my post count prohibits it.
Please let me know what can I do, I will reply to your questions ASAP so at least I can get some light into what is happening.
Thank you!
Well, if this is happening across multiple roms/software it can only really be hardware at fault I would think?

Hello!
After I posted this I ended up talking to T-Mobile and apparently the phone still is under warranty and they sent me a shipping label to return the phone and get another one from them.
Which is good but also I tripped KNOX but I don't know how much they care about that.
Fingers crossed I guess.
Thank you for replying!
Good to hear of a semi positive result! Let us know!

Ever since updating to 5.1.1 via OTA update on my AT&T Galaxy Note Edge SM-N915A, I have had numerous issues. The phone lags/freezes often at best, but also crashes and reboots randomly. Worse yet, it has gotten into a boot loop a few times. I have factory reset and cache-wiped numerous times and even flashed a clean 5.1.1 via odin and still have the same issues. Apparently 5.0.1 or 4.4.4 cannot be flashed via Odin once 5.1.1 is installed and I can confirm this is true as I have tried.
Is anyone else having these issues? I have seen similar reports from the Note 4 forums but they seem to be getting new firmware updates to fix the issues. My firmware is N915AUCU2COI2 and is the latest available for the SM-N915A as far as I can determine.

Wouldn't that require ROOT access? The AT&T variant has a locked bootloader, so no root.

I've been experiencing the same issues since 12/19/15. I too have the N915A... and it has worked just fine up until that day. I noticed while I was out xmas shopping that it was rebooting a number of times while i stood in line waiting to check out of the store. I did not want to be that guy in line pulling apart an electronic device so i waited until I got to the car. Pulled the battery, she was a hot mess, then once it was cool I re inserted and powered the phone back up only to find it to be really laggy, a number a apps were crashing on without me touching them, random reboots, need to pop the battery, SD, and SIM to restart the phone without it getting hungup on the boot routine.
I recently used ODIN to load 'stock" 5.1.1. firmware but no luck. Not entirely sure that its N915A firmware, found it from other threads on the forum. Before knowing we could not go back to previous version, I took a whack at going back to those as well. So far I've reset the phone probably 7 or 8 times with a fresh OTA firmware install and only installing a few apps like Facebook, RSA VPN client and Team Viewer to keep variables minimal.
Ever since xmas day i stopped trying and been trolling the web for support only to here that the N915A has no root yet and other unavailable mods thus far . I have not tried to do anything else yet from a programming standpoint. I put the phone into developer mode, toggled some settings for the CPU and GPU in there so that they ran independently.Setup to be notified when an app crashed in the background. Downloaded Nova Launcher to avoid TouchWiz as I've heard that can be buggy with 5.1.1. So far the phone has been working somewhat normal. No random restarts, however if I restart it myself i may need to remove the battery for a minute to get it going again. The battery seems to be draining faster than it should, least of my worries for now. If i just let the phone do its things without trying to be a few thoughts ahead of it, it seems to process just fine.
Oddly its improving, I'm not sure why. Also, not pleased with it either but its better than having a brick atm. Intend to keep trolling the webs for more solutions until a root is dev'd and nursing this thing until it either hits the bucket again or for some weird reason gets better on its own....

So that's it then? Is there really no way whatsoever to go back to 5.0.1 or even 4.4.4 kitkat from 5.1.1? I've been trying to do it for a while now but I'm new to this Odin downgrading thing.

I also have the AT&T Galaxy Note Edge SM-N915A. Ever since I updated via OVA this June 2016 it has been freezing/rebooting on its own/crashing apps. I have found 3 SM-N915A roms but cannot revert back to these previous builds. I have tried KEIS3 via Samsung to reflash firmware but it wont recognize my device name. After 2 weeks of crashing the phone is now a joke, when it once was king. It was such an awesome phone when it was released. Now I must lay it down to sleep. I guess I will get the Note 7 Edge which should be released this August.
I just wanted to express my frustration over ATT Branded Phone and will not be buying their branded phones anymore. I will be buying international versions or unlocked phones since ATT screwed me on this one.

I ended up being only days left in warranty and getting a replacement. Then a few months later I switched to T-Mobile and got the SM-N915T. So far so good and just OTA updated to Android 6.0. Only negative is T-Mobile's coverage in my area is poor, but WiFi calling, unlimited data (speed limited), and unlimited Binge On media streaming at full speed are great positives. T-Mobile Tuesdays is pretty cool too I must admit :good:
Same problem on SM-N915F even persisting after the new 6.0.1 update
Me too, my note edge N915G get restart constantly after ota update to 6.1 i try to flash with odin but always fail..
Hi everyone!
I have a international version of the s7 that I bought in France.
Since 1 week, my phones crash randomly and also every time I try to update or download an app on the store. It happens with two different roms (superman and galaxy project).
But not happy to only crashing, it also bootloop after it, sometimes during 20 minutes before booting correctly. And it makes the phone's temperature going up a lot. With all the issues with the note 7 heating and blowing, I fear for my s7.
Also, I can't just return it, because I'm not in France anymore, and it costs a lot to pay the taxes if I want to send it for a check (especially if they do nothing on it)
I was wondering if the cpu clocks on the roms has something to do with it.
If you have any suggestions, I'll wait for it.
Thanks

Hi
Do a factory reset , do not restore anything see if it works ok , if so then it maybe an app causing the problem
or you could flash a stock rom to test the phone and make sure there is no hardware issues
Thank you for your answer.
I'll take a try this weekend with a stock rom as I have the issue with 2 custom roms so far.
If anybody has other ideas until that, please let me know
Little feedback. I flashed the stock Samsung rom two days ago and it seems to work fine for now. But it was also quite fine with the custom rom at the beginning, so I will do another feedback after one or two weeks.
Well... The phone froze and rebooted 5 times in 10 minutes after trying to update some apps itself...
I had the same problem. At the end I was not able to boot Android. I had to claim my cell phone to seller. After one month it was repaired. The final verdict was SOFTWARE problem. They said that EFS was corrupted. One of Samsung firmware has bug which cause problem with EFS.
I also had that problem. I also had to send my phone to the repair center. In my case they replaced the mainboard.
I bought one early september and after two weeks it started doing just that. I tried everything, then sent it to the seller (ebay seller...) and the repair shop couldn't anything about it. I only got my money back yesterday. Back when I invesitgated the issue, nobody was talking about it. So since I liked the phone, I bought a new one from another place (less shady) yesterday... I now think I shouldn't have. Anybody knows more about this ?
Edit: I'm thinking that if I root the phone and backup the EFS and all sensitive partitions before starting using it (or even getting updates) I should be safe...
Yeah, that would be great, but your KNOX will be 0x1. So you will have problem to return this phone back with status 0x1.

Hello everybody,
Sorry for the very late reply. I actually sent my phone to another shop here in Japan. But this week, they send me a mail to say that they were not able to fix the issue. But still they taker me 50$ for the time...
I was thinking about buying a new one, but now that some of you are talking about an EFS issue, I'll try to fix again. I will look for some tutorial for that, but if you know how to procede, just reply here
Merry Christmas guys !
hello, i've been having a similar issue.
My phone would be fine for 2 weeks, maybe a month then Suddenly it would reboot to no end, it even reboots from TWRP.
It doesn't reboot while in Download mode. Then what i do to fix it is flash a stock rom from ODIN, sometimes the first couple or 5 times it will reboot during initial first boot up of this stock Rom. I would leave it alone for a while like half day then try it again in the evening or the next day.
Today for example, it started boot looping late last night and I installed Stock ROM with PIT FILE and Nand ERASE and Repartition ticked, boot loop, again, boot loop, tried it again, also rebooted before it started up to stock recovery and factory reset. Then it started up fine and has not rebooted so far.
But this has happened many times and it'll happen after 2 weeks or 1 month. When it does, i first go and delete cache and delvic cache to see if that would fix it, but it doesn't.
Right now it works, but for how long i don't know, when it works, everything is fine with the phone, no imei or calling or heating issues.
I can't guess whats wrong, is it really EFS that got corrupted but not fully but eventually its finding a problem and causing boot loops or something if that makes sense??
