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

hello,
I tried flashing an ICS ROM onto my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (i727 AT&T) using Odin.
It was stuck at recovery.img. I unplugged my phone after a while, and then it wouldn't turn on. I would hold the power button, and then the Samsung logo would appear for a second, screen would go black for a second or two, and then the Samsung logo would come on again for about a second. Then the screen goes black.
I got into recovery mode, and wiped my data 3 times. I also wiped the cache. Then I tried rebooting the system, but the phone wouldn't turn on.
I took out the battery several times, and even tried turning the phone on with a different battery, once again to no avail.
Now I'm trying to flash the ROM on again, but it's stuck at recovery.img again.
PLEASE HELP. How do I get my phone back to normal/successfully get the ICS ROM on it?
I'm a noob at this.

Install this rom and you should be able to boot
Breaking News: ICS for Skyrocket Leaks, We've Got The Link (AT&T)
XblackdemonX,
That's the exact ROM I tried to flash. It's stuck at recovery.img. I unplugged and my phone wont boot.
However, that link mentions Heimdall files, what are those?

I plugged in my device and Kies said there was a firmware update. I let it go through it's paces and upon reboot, it just sits at a pulsating samsung logo.
I've tried reflashing a stock GB image using Odin. Even tried an ICS one. All of them result in the same pulsating samsung logo going nowhere.
What steps can I take from here?
Power + Vol Up
Select Wipe/Factory Reset
Cross your fingers...
Good Luck
I couldn't get recovery to come up before. But it did this time . Anyway, we're back in business. ICS is fantastic on this!
Hi people, I update my tab7+ 6210 to ICS everything was fine, but sometimes I got random reboots and today it suddenly turn off, I tried to turn on but nothing happens, so I plugged into charge but show no signs of life, I tried to enter stock recovery but accidentally enter download mode, Im screwed?, please I need some guidance. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I've got a S6 G920F, that I tried to do everything to. Here's the problem and what I did:
First off the phone never turned on unless I put it in the charger and it would display the "emergency mode" screen. I switched to download mode while its attached to the computer, tried to flash stock firmware with no luck, until I found a PIT file that I flashed via odin and revived the phone that it got me the "Samsung" logo. But still it would turn off. I did efs repair and phone stopped turning off but still was stuck on samsung logo. I then came across this "choimobile" 4 file firmware and flashed only BL and AP(as they said) and phone finally turned on, started optimizing apps, finished and entered the system, I went to check if IMEI is intact from settings, and it suddenly rebooted, to system again, except this time for few seconds and reboot, then it got stuck on bootloop on the "samsung". I've been stuck here with nothing left to do.
Here are the links I used:

Would appreciate any help thanks in advance.
P.S. I did wipe data and cache using recovery numerous times
I had my phone just sitting on a wireless charger this morning and had been there for about 15-30 minutes. I noticed it was rebooting, odd I thought? I took it off and then realized it was going into a boot loop. I gave it a soft reset and then it would turn on and stay on for about 10 seconds before boot looping again. I again gave it a soft reset after a couple loops and now it seems to totally dead, as the title implies.
No button combination has worked and I've held them all down for well over 30 seconds each. I've tried plugging it into my PC and haven't gotten any response that way. The blue LED is on so I know it's not dead...I think? To make matters worse, I bought this phone off Craigslist about 5 months ago and it's the Exynos version so I definitely can't get any kind of warranty on it. I'm hoping someone has had this problem and can help or just has some advice. Thanks everyone.
EDIT: To keep this updated, I have been able to get into Odin Mode and have tried to flash stock firmware. Odin says everything went fine but the phone hangs up at the Samsung Galaxy S7 logo. I'm unable to boot into recovery mode and I've even tried to reinstall TWRP with Odin and that has not worked.
Seen the LED only problem before, waiting for the battery to drain and the phone to turn off seems to be the only known cure atm
Once it does, connect the charger for 15 mins, then boot directly into recovery and clear caches to try fix the bootloop, possible it may need factory resetting / clean flash of stock ROM
Using the MicroUSB > USB white adapter, you may be able to connect a power hungry USB peripheral to the phone to drain the battery faster, I use a USB desktop fan, but some people report it not working when it is stuck in this LED loop and have just had to wait it out
Thanks for that advice, I'll let it drain over night. However, I have been able to get it to boot into Odin Mode and Odin v.3 recognized it. I flashed the stock firmware but upon rebooting nothing happened and now it gets stuck at the Samsung logo screen. I can still get it back into Odin mode, which I believe will be the fastest way to kill the battery, but I find it odd that I can get into that but not recovery? I am rooted and have TWRP installed, if that matters at all.
If you can get into Download (ODIN) mode, then letting the battery drain probably won't help, that only seems to help when the phone is completely stuck with nothing but the LED working
Make sure you flash CSC (Not HOME_CSC) along with the other 3 sections of the ROM, using ODIN 3.12.3, that should factory reset the phone after the flash
If you successfully flashed stock with ODIN already, you are no longer rooted and do not have TWRP installed, flashing stock with ODIN replaces all that with stock
I updated Odin and once again tried to flash the 4 parts, making sure I used the right CSC file, but I'm still getting hung up at the Samsung Galaxy S7 logo. Do you have a suggestion as to which region's firmware I should use? I have been trying the Australia one from SamMobile's site.
EDIT: And to clarify, I have the G930FD(the duos one).

Any region would work, and the F firmware works for the FD too
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.
