Hey Guys,
So I went from Original firmware I337MVLUAMDJ to I337MVLUAMG1 through Samsung Kies. Everything installed, upon start up, I would past the splash screen, and the next screen that displays "Samsung" in glowing colors, gets stuck there. I've tried battery pulling for 1 minute, holding power + vol + home together, and it seems to not want to get past that screen.
I've already read through numerous forums and threads and have tried various steps, I'm just not sure at this point whether its a procedure that I'm missing, or if its software.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Boot into recovery and wipe cache. If that doesn't solve it. Boot again into the recovery and wipe system/data. My guess is your phone will be working again.
I have a verizon galaxy s5 I rooted it with the help and guidance from xda members over here. The method I used to root my phone was this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver.../safely-upgrade-root-4-4-4-nha-volte-t2879348 since i was already on NI2 I skipped steps 1. to 2.5 post rooting my phone everything was running pretty good for a few days without any issues but less than a day after I inserted a sim card in the phone it started randomly restarting so did a data wipe factory reset but the problem still persisted where my phone would would either randomly restart or go into a boot loop then I got the G900VVRU1ANI2_G900VVZW1ANI2_G900VVRU1ANI2_HOME.zip stock retail tar from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53447942&postcount=1 and used ODIN to flash it but strangely even after I flashed the stock firmware it gave me the UNLOCKED logo at start below the Samsung galaxy S5 logo so I did another data wipe factory reset and now the UNLOCKED logo has gone but I'm getting a black screen after the Samsung galaxy logo. I can enter recovery mode and download mode my phone also gets detected in kies even with black screen.
I'm pretty freaked out and devastated right now because of the suddenness of this problem. I hope someone knows how to fix this issue.
Sorry for the long post but I wanted to be as detailed as possible.
Can anyone PLEASE help??
My partner opted to do a suggested update on her S5, but didn't notice the wifi was off. The phone seemed to have done the update, but shortly after it rebooted itself, then again, then again. The frequency of reboot got quicker and quicker and now it loops between the Galaxy S5 splash screen and the SAMSUNG logo, but doesn't go any further.
I managed to boot the phone into reset mode, cleared the cache and then did a factory reset, but that did nothing to prevent the boot loop.
I then downloaded Odin (ver 10.3.7) and what I believed to be the correct firmware (G900FXXS1CPLV_G900FVFR1CPJ1_G900FXXU1CPIW_HOME.tar.md5).
Having checked the battery was charged, I followed the instructions of connecting the phone via USB, loading the md5 in the AP, checking Auto Reboot and F-Set time in the options and clicking the Odin Start button. I had removed the battery, replaced it and then booted it into the update mode (Power, Home, Volume Down, then volume up) with the screen confirming I was in the right place (....do not unplug.... etc).
The file loaded, (green bar at top of the Odin window on my PC) and Odin reported success. I then disconnected the phone, booted in recovery mode, reset the cache and then did a clear data, factory reset.
The same symptoms prevail, STUCK IN BOOT LOOP!!!!
The only thing different is that if I plug it into the USB on my PC, after a while the phone tries to turn itself on and goes into either a boot loop or freezes on the Galaxy S5 Splash screen or the SAMSUNG Logo.
I am charging another battery (just in case that is in some way to blame) and will try again to replace the firmware, but could I be missing something, do I need to do anything with PIT (I thought this was all taken care of by Odin using the MD5 file) or is there some other test I can perform that will show if the phone is fried???
MANY THANKS for looking!
ur going correct, try to reflash it again through odin and dont disconnect phone until it boots into system, it is taking some good time, so just wait and dont do anything this time like clearing anything or restoring. i hope ull get success.
THANKS - but...
Thanks Rayzen, I will try the whole thing again, but I think there is something more to this than a firmware fault!
There and gone again
OK, so on the 4th attempt I got the phone to take the firmware using Odin, it reported success and the phone rebooted itself (several times) and eventually appeared to boot to a new factory reset.
I put in a SIM card and entered my email and google account details and left it charging over night. This morning when I tried to use it, the screen froze and then it rebooted itself. Hey presto, the phone is back to square one with a boot loop.
ANYONE (please) got any suggestions?
THANKS
No one??
same here, same symptoms, same feeling.
when flash gone right... i feel lucky.. but for half hour only, rebooted and angain in boot loop.
I cannot even boot in recovery. flashed TWRP. from 5 boots in recovery only 1 success.
When trying to wipe phone in TWRP - it hangs.
still trying to install some other (custom) rom. still no success.
hope never dies
same things happened here! now cant get samsung galaxy s5 to boot...............
Are you sure your using right firmware? as it took me a few versions before it booted last time this happened?
Could any please confirm what is the right firmware for samsung galaxy s5 900F
It took another 6 or 7 attempts, left it over night and was about to trash it when it booted.
I then received a 'software update available' message and tried installing it. First attempt put the phone back into boot loop so I reflashed it again using Odin.
That worked immediately the over the network software update installed and now phone is 100%
Very frustrating but I got there!
glad you fixed it! ive tried three different firmwares and still nothing.
trying this one atm
G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FEVR1AND1_G900FXXU1ANE2_HOME.tar
oh and how long do they take to boot when there are sitting at the samsung glowing screen?>
I'm in UK and used what (I had to guess) was the best firmware.
I'll let you know which version it was when I get home tonight.
BUT I had all the problems with a single version and it eventually came good.
I read somewhere that overwriting a different core (from specific providers) with generic firmware, could lead to a world of pain until it gets full replaced... not sure if that's a good description (or has any fact to it) but it seemed to be re-loading and re-loading and re........ for ages, finally cracked it.
well mines booted now!but getting constant errors about samsung push!
If it'still booted, you'very made progress!
Push issues are mentioned elsewhere and can (eventually be sorted) but if you have a booted phone you should be able to get an over the air software update installed from the service provider....?!
Hi,
My galaxy S4 decided to poop itself yesterday. I was browsing my emails and the phone restarted by itself. . but then it kept restarting over and over again (Boot loop). The phone felt hot, so i took the battery out and left the phone for a while.
Once i put the battery back in, the phone kept boot looping. I managed to get it into safe mode and make sure all my photos were safe – I've just returned from a holiday in Hawaii, so this was very important to me.
After i was able to make sure photos were backed up on the computer, i cleared the cache partition and even did a hard reset. The phone kept boot looping. My phone now gets stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT I9505" start up page. I read about issues with the power button, so even atempted to open the phone up and wiggle the power button around a bit by squeezing it with some tweezers. This made no difference. I've even swapped batteries and tried charging it.. this also doesn't work. Currently my phone has the "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505".
I have been on whirlpool forums and it was suggested that i reinstall the firmware through odin.. i did, but with great difficulty and many attempts. My phone was able to boot up and i was able to send one message and make one phone call before it went into bootloop again or just switches off and doesn't want to be switched back on again. When the phone was on, no sound was apparent when a phone call/text message came through for testing. I've retried dowloading the software on odin, but when i try to switch my phone on it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again".
I've also tried putting the phone on the charger and no sound or green battery coloured animation comes up on the screen now.
Please somebody help
It was the latest stock firmware from sammobile.com that was flashed to the phone? Was the phone factory reset from stock recovery before booting the phone after fllashing with Odin?
As far as I know it was the latest unbranded firmware from sammobile.com.
A factory reset was one of the first things I did after starting the phone up in safe mode and trying to recover files.
The phone has never previously been tampered with. I've only ever upgraded the software through WiFi or Samsung kies. Using Odin was a learning experience for me.
Maybe the factory reset needs to be done from the recovery screen rather than from the ROM settings?
The factory reset was originally performed from the recovery screen. I can no longer get into recovery mode though. It only seems the phone wants to get into download mode
Have you tried flashing a ROM designed for a particular carrier in your country?
This is going to sound silly.. But I thought that's what I was doing when I went through Odin and got the firmware from sammobile.com
Which version of Odin and firmware was flashed?
What errors occurred during the flash process according to the Odin log?
Tried flashing with a pit file?
Hello Community!
Hoping you'll be able to help me with this: recently my S7 Edge has been fairly unstable, crashing and restarting itself. Sometimes the reboot would fail, and it would loop restart until successfully launching. Today, however, it has seemingly crashed but the phone has done nothing since - it has not attempted to reboot, and power + vol down, and power + home + vol up aren't doing anything. The screen is black, and there are no LEDs showing. I tried plugging it into a charger, but that didn't give any LEDs either.
How can i get my phone on again? Thanks!
stock or custom? odin or just pc dont recognise it?
