I was having trouble with random lock ups and reboots so i wanted to flash my 915A to another version of firmware that i had installed before. I used odin and it updated successfully. I then wiped cache and then did a wipe data/factory reset and then a
reboot. And then the samsung logo and then the AT&T logo and then nothing, The logo stays on for ever. The blue led is on and
dims in and out and thats all. I have left it for over a hour and nothing. SO i reflashed a few other firmwares that i have saved and have used all of them in the past and they all load via odin just like they should. I follow the same steps i have always used and
everytime it hangs on the AT&T logo? I have tried pulling out the SD card, I have tried with and without the SIM card and still
the same? IS my 7 month old phone bricked? PLEASE help me i really want and need my phone back. Does anyone have any ideas
on what i can do or try? Thank you for reading.

Hello Everyone,
I have been trying to help my friend with his soft-bricked G3. He wasn't rooted and had never even played with flashing anything, it just stopped booting one day and would display the "LG Life's Good" boot screen for a few seconds before going black and then just repeating this endlessly. I was able to get into recovery and download mode so I used the tot method to flash back to stock after a hard reset just produced the same results.
When I flashed the stock firmware, everything appeared to work fine, it went through the MiniOS bootup and everything, said success, gave me the hard reset status screen so when it finished I pulled the battery as instructed and rebooted but the phone still has the same issue. I have tried to run factory reset through recovery now that I flashed the new firmware and it still does the same thing, just hangs at the boot screen for a few seconds before going black and then trying again, endlessly.
Has anyone encountered this before? Is it bricked?
Thanks.

Pretty common prob plug it in to the wall charge see if it boots sometimes it still wont but most of the time it will the battery quality on the g3 is crap they last at most a year with a few exceptions i would first order a battery.
Hi guys, so recently I bought a Galaxy S6 Verizon off of eBay. I got it for fairly cheap because it was stuck in a boot loop. I usually have no problem fixing stuff like this, but this time is different. So the first thing I tried when I got the phone was to do a reset and cache wipe from recovery. I rebooted the phone and it showed a screen that said "Android is starting, optimizing app 9 out of 31." when it got to 21 the phone rebooted and went back to 9. It did this several times before I attempted to wipe/reset again. I then downloaded the tar file G920VVRU4CPH1 and flashed it in Odin. I did a manual reset before the phone booted, and it is doing the same thing again. reboots to a green screen where it tries to optimize apps, stays there for about 20 seconds, and reboots over and over again in the same cycle. I have tried all other stock marshmallow roms that i can find, Odin won't flash older ones, (assuming its not letting me downgrade). Also another weird thing, every time I flash, the blue update screen goes to 32%, stops, erases, and reboots. Phone is on 6.0.1 version MMB29K.G920VVRU4CPH1 as seen in recovery. Any help would be gladly appreciated. Thank you!
I am having a similar problem with loading new rom. The farthest it gets is 32%. Sometimes it doesn't get even that far.
I ended up just buying a trashed s6 and swapping the motherboards. Only way I could fix it
Hi all! I recently purchased a verizon galaxy s6 that wouldn't boot past the verizon logo. Long story short, I got it working by flashing the AP through Odin for 7.0.1, but during setup, regular use, and sometimes no use, the phone will randomly either turn off or reboot. I've tried updating all apps, factory resetting, wiping cache, and reflashing through odin but I got the same outcome. Any help would be appreciated! Like I said, everything else is working fine, but every few minutes the phone freezes or goes black, and then reboots or just stays powered off.
Thanks for the help in advance!
Hello All,
My friend has a Verizon S6 that is not booting up. Stays frozen or in a boot loop on Samsung logo.
No idea what Android version it had.
I downloaded the latest firmware md5 file for it from SamFirm and tried to flash it with Odin. It was a single file so I used the AP button as usual.
It starts flashing but when it comes to System.img Odin fails. I tried many times with many Odin Versions and re-downloaded the firmware file and tried many usb cables and 2 different PCs but no go.
As I'm writing this, I tried it again and it completed the flash successfully but the phone booted up in a blue Android screen and it said installing system update, then erasing and it froze right there. I go into recovery and reset to factory settings and wipe cache. And the purple LED is on all the time.
So now it's stuck in a boot loop on the Verizon logo red screen.
I believe something is messed up in the partitions or memory, I'm not sure. Anyway I can revive this phone for him?
He's not interested in rooting but if it's a must, no problem; anything to get the phone started.
The phone is sim unlocked cos he was using it on sim cards outside the US, so he would like to keep doing that as he no longer lives in the US.
Thank you kindly in advance.
Hey all....I'm calling on the experts! I have a friend of mine's s8+ Sm-955U from Verizon. She woke up one morning and it was boot looping. I've tried using ODIN, reflashing the original rom, wiped cache, did a factory reset, and even used the pit file and repartition in ODIN to try to restore it. All it does is get stuck at the s8+ logo screen, goes black and you can feel a tiny vibration when it goes to black. It usually just sits there, sometimes it will just reboot over and over. I've done everything I know. Is it possible that the NAND would be bad? Or what wears out if it's hardware related? It boots just fine in recovery mode or download mode and ODIN always shows success when flashing. Anyone know of anything else to do?
the phone is overheating!!!! get an icepack and hold it to the back of the phone while loading or put it directly in front of the air conditioner!!!! my phone does the all the time
