hello!
some time ago i talked with my s4 (for 1+ hour)and charged the same time and phone started reboot randomly.
i have tried flashing other FW, bootloader and recovery - no help. tried to update to lollipop.
after that i broke screen (you may understand why).
changed it
Now i tried flashing stock 4.4.2 FW, recovery and csc, but cant get even into recovery, i always get blue screen.
Is there any way to revive my phone? can't find any information about bluescreen at all. is my hardware dead?
Download mode works (only it).
update: twrp recovery works now, i am able to mount usb storage to pc with no problem, tried to copy backup to phone memory-blue screen again. something wrong is with memory. what is possible to do with this?
update2: phone is working. installed stock lollipop, random reboots and sometimes blue screen again. don't know what to do more. please help anybody
update3: internal storage lost. twrp show internal storage 0B. unable to flash kernel or anything else.
never mind. mainboard is probably dead
Hi Guys,
I am facing a peculiar kind of problem in my phone (G900F) since yesterday.
What happens is that, if I tried
i) To restart my phone from the phone (reboot menu), the phone stuc in boot screen and then vibrate twice then after 5-10 sec the phone start rebooting all along once again with 2 vibration and this process keeps repeating until I pull out the battery.
ii) To access recovery (both hard- key combination or from reboot to recovery option in phone), the phone reboots and it stays in the initial screen for about 45 seconds and then the screen went black and freezes there until I pull out the battery.
iii) To access download mode ( both hard- key combination and reboot to download mode option in phone), there seem no problem.
The weirdest part is that, if I remove the battery for 5-10 min and re-insert the battery and do any of the above options; the phone reboots and i get the home screen loaded successfully with no problem . I can also get into my recovery after this 5 mins switch off just like the above. I also found the phone lags a bit in this home screen.
I almost did all the combination to get off this problem (stated below) but I keep getting this problem again and again.
I was in Sixperience v 3.1 with Pheonix Kernel v 10 and Philz CWM recovery and tried the below to try to fix the issue
1. Re-flashed Kernel from Recovery (Also, tried to re-flash kernel after uninstalling Xposed but no use)
2. Re-flashed Modem and Bootloader from ODIN once again (G900FXXU1CPF7_BL_G900FXXU1CPB8_MODEM_LTE.tar)
3. Reflashed ROM once again as a fresh install through Philz recovery.
4. Restore the cwm backup from recovery (which was backed up a week before.)
5. Flashed Samsung Stock MM ROM (G900FXXU1CPFH_G900FPHN1CPFD_PHN.tar.md5) as a fresh install.
After this stock ROM installation is done, the phone struck at SAMSUNG flashing logo and the blue LED keeps glowing for more than 30 mins)
Nothing works. ? Any idea on what is to be done to fix this issue? I am not sure, what i did but this problem keeps coming even after trying of all of the options since yesterday.
Please help to with your expertise.
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,
After a LineageOS update, my Samsung S5 (G900F) was working and suddenly shouted down. I tried to restart it but it was booting in loop (always without passing through the first Samsung Galaxy S5 logo). As I wasn't being able to restart it I tried to fix it by installing the stock rom through Odin. It installed successfully and the phone rebooted with images in the screen. If I touch the phone I can hear the touch working and volume also works but I don't have image, not even while booting the phone.
Now, the only way I have to see image (in the download mode only) is to take off the battery for a few minutes and then restart the phone while pressing the download mode buttons.
I tried several times to install the stock rom through odin but the same thing happens everytime so I am still without image.
Any suggestions?
Thank you. :good:
My Galaxy S4 VE (GT-I9515) crashed. (the screen went black) It was not rooted and ran the latest Andoid 5.0.1 ROM.
When I turned it on, it went into a bootloop, randomly crashed during booting, or turned on normally. I removed sd and sim card and tried a different battery. Furthermore I tried to boot into recovery mode and wiped the system data and the cache. It did not help.
Sometimes it was not possible to get into recovery mode because the phone's screen went black and it rebooted.
Then I tried flashing multiple stock ROM files using Odin, but it did not solve the problem.
After that i tried rooting the device and installed a custom recovery (TWRP), but i still got random crashes during booting and sometimes it got stuck showing the samsung boot animation. The only things that work reliably are the Download Mode and the charging animation.
Now, what can I do to fix my phone?
I read a bit about flashing a .pit file but I don't think that will help?
Is this a hardware or a software issue?
How can I find out, what caused the problem?
