Hi all.
Hoping someone can provide some help.
I have a SM-G930FD and I am on Superman rom ver 1.19.1. The phone had been restarting at random times more recently so I thought to do a clean flash through TWRP to the same 1.19.1 rom (it worked for me and I didn't need any new features etc from newer roms).
So I rebooted into recovery, did a clean wipe, select install rom, go through aroma as usual selecting/deselecting things, install rom. But for some reason the phone freezes at exactly 27.50%. I had to hold power+down+home to reboot the phone then power+up+home to get into TWRP. I have tried flashing the same rom again several times but freezes at 27.50% again. If I don't select any tweaks and all stock options in aroma I get to 65% but always freeze at 65%.
The only thing I can do at the moment is restore. Luckily I did a full backup in TWRP prior to flashing. But even the restore had been crashing at random % progress and I have to force restart several times for the restore to complete. Right now my phone is restored to the same state before I tried flashing. It still random restarts.
I also tried flashing to the lastest 2.9 Superman rom. Updated BL and CP through Odin and installed latest TWRP too. But guess what, it also freezes at 27.50% during the rom install. I also tried flashing the Ultimate Nougat Rom V2.6 but guess what, freezes at 25% on multiple attempts.
I tried flashing from 2 different microsd cards and also tried flashing from internal memory. All freezes at either 27.50% or 25% or 65%.
If someone can help I would really appreciate it! The S7 is my secondary phone, it's not the end of the world if I can't update to a newer rom, but I would like to be able to solve why!

Hello, i am android newbie, but i use my 5801 for a few months. But with help of this forum i make from my stock phone pretty good machine for me. Everything was perfect, i instal cwm,root, kernel g3 2.4 oc,setcpu, bassbeats,... A still no problems. But two days back i tried to instal BLN via SGS kernel flasher within android. During flashing kernel it was o.k. but at the end phone freeze a take did not reboot. Just screen stay for 10 min same. So i decided to hold power button and turn off phone. After that all the user apps were gone. So i decided to recovery via cwm from backup. after that phone started , still no user apps, only system apps and no possibility to install anything cause task manager in phone showed 0kb data , like rom was not mounted or i dont know... I started panic and wipe everything boot, cache, sd,data ... just all. And reflash kernel 2.4 back to stock
After done that it was totally in ....hole. Phone could boot to recovery but, could not start android. Just logo "samsung" is still on the screen. I tried to instal firmware( samsung 5800 xwjpi with files sbl.bin and boot.bin through odin but still same...Only boot animation is changed now...And still is just shining "samsung" logo. Is there any chance to repare that? I think i should install bootloader but i am not sure how. Or is it automatically doing by flashing rom? Pls help if u can. Many thanks.

I think it's kernel related problem. Try to flash CM7 or Kyrillos 10 or use PuruKisadHybrid
It is possible that was only temporary problem as looks , freezing has never repeat again . But after your advices i tried flash cm7 i now use cm7 kyrillos 10.6. Just testing , only well known gaming issues yet. But now i know flashing is so easy :victory:
I recently got the Note 5 and I rooted and installed Moar Rom. The phone started to freeze and crash repeatedly. After trouble shooting and deleting apps/resetting it would still freeze, crash, reboot. I decided to restore the backup I made after root. I went into twrp, wiped the phone and started the restore, it froze mid restore and crashed and rebooted. Now there is no os on the phone and recovery will not work for more than 30 seconds without freezing and crashing. I have tried odin to flash a stock tar and start over but it always fails. 9/10 it hangs when trying to get pit, otherwise it just fails. I have trued to adb sideload as well but again the phone will not stay on long enough to finish any transfers. Any ideas??

Take it in and have it looked at.
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.
Hi there!
After about a week ago, I’ve turned off my Note 3. Then two days later, when I wanted to use it, I’ve turned it on. After CM logo appears, its says:
“Android is starting
Optimizing x apps of x”
I know this is because of ART, but after it finishes, my phone reboots, and CM logo appears again, and nothing happens. After a while, it starts optimizing apps again. Now I left it for 2 hours, my phone didnt boot up.
What should I do? I didnt flash any new kernel, rom, recovery or anything else. Im on CyanogenMod, with CWM recovery. I dont want to factory reset, because of my photos and videos.
Even I tried to start in safe mode, but I couldnt get to it, and Im not really sure that I tried to enter safe mode properly.
Please help!
Just dirty flash the rom again through cwm.
See if it works
It's high time you flashed TWRP already.

Ahh I would suggest you to get TWRP, The world has moved on and I think you should too! It's just a little better at things overall. TWRP can be flashed through ODIN. As for the Bootloop, try dirty flashing the ROM. Just wipe the dalvik/ART and cache and leave the rest as it is.

What do you mean on “dirty flashing”? Do I lose my data if I flash my rom again?

No you don't, dirty flashing = installing the same ROM without wiping or resetting any data sets, just reflashing that zip again, JIC some files got corrupted, if that doesn't help you might have to give it a fresh start.
Hello, so after I install a custom ROM, after 2-3 weeks of using it, my phone gets stuck, and then reboots. After the reboot, the phone acts weird: no notifications are shown, home/recents buttons not working, some apps not working and not locking and some options just reset.
Thank you in advance.

?? Yep i know this thing few symptoms were shown on my osprey so it happened to me bz i just to test many custom rom and many time there residue remain uncleaned even after many twrp formats (it weird but i think this happens) so try clearing your intenal storageand (no need to clean memory just remove it) even remove you sim crad and memory cards
flash a recovery from your current recovery if there is not update just reflash the current recovery and then just make it a reboot to recovery ( msg will pop up no os found but there will be no issue if you're rebooting directly to the recovery)
So after reboot put your memory card in phone where you will store your rom and gapps ( if memory not detected just reboot to recovery one more time) puff install things let your sim cards in enjoy your rom
If this thing failes go install stock firmware its an ultimate solution
i finally flashed the stock os, hopefully no issues now!

The same issue happened to me yesterday
So, now I am trying to clean flash the custom rom first
I've been running a Lineage OS PIE version on my Moto G3 2015(Osprey) XT 1541 for several months now and not a single problem.I think it's a Fantastic Custom rom that you might like to try,
http://www.droidthunder.com/android-9-0-pie-on-moto-g3/
Note:
Before installing any Custom rom do a,"Nandroid" backup and then a Factory Reset.
Then once the rom has installed and before setting the phone up do another,"Factory Reset".
I've found this the best way to make sure the install is really good and clean
