Hello all. Since nougat update my phone has started having boot up issues. I had software update a month ago and after it was updated it failed to boot up. It just froze on Samsung logo screen and i had to wait for the battery to drain to start it again. So that time it started after a good few tries. Now last night it had another software update and again after it was finished it rebooted and failed to boot up. Gets stuck on logo screen/ samsung screen. I tried booting in safe mode.. nothing ... gets stuck again on black screen and have to wait for battery to drain. When it gets stuck i can't do anything not even reboot with any of the buttons. I've tried going into recovery mode but once it boots in recovery it shows Installing System Update or something simmilar and in 1 second gets stuck untill battery is drained again. So basically i can't do anything on it. It won't boot up in normal/safe mode or recovery mode... Any suggestions ? I've tried samsung switch on my PC but it needs the phone into recovery mode and i can't get this far. What else is there to do ?

I just bought the S6 The day before yesterday. It was working fine until I received the official Firmware update from Samsung by going Settings> About device> Software updates. Downloaded the update then the phone needs to restart to complete the update. It doesn't complete it. It just gets stuck at whatever percentage it desires and then reboots and goes into the updating screen again. I tried going into recovery mode and it just doesn't work. as I can't turn the phone off. I tried making it discharge completely then recharge it and then boot it into recovery mode but it still doesn't work. The only thing that works is ODIN mode. So what should/Can I do about that?
One day, my phone just suddenly froze. Gave it a day to be left alone and it probably ran out of battery. Upon charging and trying to turn it on, it gets in a bootloop. It is NOT even getting past the very first logo at the start. It just shows "Samsung Galaxy S6 Powered by android" then freezes there.
I boot it into download mode and was unable to flash ROMs, Recoveries or Kernels. It has Reactivation Lock on!
"Custom Binary blocked by RL"
I gave up after this, but then I came back after months. I want to see if I can bring this phone back to life again. I've recently found this video where it has Odin 3.11 that had an option to disable Reactivation Lock!

I tried flashing TWRP and SpaceX kernel and it worked! It said pass, I saw the download bar in my phone fly across to completion and it did not show Custom Binary blocked by R/L again! Okay so... What now? It's stuck at the very same boot logo freeze. I STILL can't boot into TWRP recovery. I cant do anything. Is it HardBricked? Is it something to do with my EFS or Partition or whatever? Please help.

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.
Hello
I am very frequent with root and roms etc. but i am facing a big problerm with my s7.
i had already rooted it long back and had twrp, worked great for a year.
but suddenly around a month back it started restarting on its own. and at times it would get stuck at the Samsung logo.
i didnt care that much but then it kept on increasing and happened very frequently. the system will boot up and within 5 seconds it will get frozen, and no its not an app coz it happened in Safe Mode also,
also the screen would become hazy, like the tv does when there is no chane, become greyish.
also when i boot in twrp it would get frozen, like during wiping cache or installing, it will just get frozen in between
i tried upgrading to oreo somehow it started but when i restarted it wont start up. it would be stuck at s7 logo.
TWRP still getting frozen also i have tried other versions, no luck,
then i installed resurection rom for s7, it booted up, was working fine but then when i restarted it would not boot up system.
thats the problem i am facing now,
i tried down upgrading to Nougat but now it will say updating system and then erasing, and then it would get stuck wont boot up the system. it will keep restarting and then get frozen.
Literally spent more than 24 hours on this and no luck
please help
My father-in-law's S6 was rebooting right after the menu screen came up. After trying numerous things which wouldn't work (still had varying boot loops) like getting into the recovery mode and doing a factory wipe, I decided to use Odin and flash the base stock Android nougat on this (it had the one verizon security patch after that, so should be no issue doing this).
That went okay and it rebooted and got all the way to "Android is starting" which you see after a firmware upgrade. But I didn't realize the battery had run down through all this so it died at this stage. So it was taking a charge now, so let it charge overnight and give it another run.
Got up today, tried to start it...back to the boot loop. So I figured I'd flash stock again with Odin (can always get back to that mode).
It completes successfully and then after the reboot at about 32% jumps to "erasing" and then the boot loop again.
Got into recovery mode once and wiped cache (pointless at this point, but whatever) and did factory reset there, then boot to bootloader. Got all the way to the verizon screen...and then boot loop again.
Is this phone just done? The only thing I can consistently get to is Odin mode. I tried the stock reflash a couple more times and keep ending up in a boot loop and it doesn't even get past the "custom" screen now. And I can't even actually get it to shutdown for that matter. I can get to the battery pull mode but if I try to power off from there, I just get the black screen with the blue light.
And, to make matters even worse, now on restart, it brings up the blue system update screen for a second, then jumps over to the no command screen, sits there for a second, then reboots again. I think I've somehow managed to even blow the recovery menu but this has all been stock and never had any custom firmware or root.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
