Help !! I soft bricked my sister's Galaxy A5 - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Model is SM-AG500
-> On 5.0.2 i rooted it and and used it for couple of weeks and unrooted it successfully. Got 5.1.1 update via OTA and everything was working well.
-> When marshmallow OTA update was done, play store didn't work and i tried every solution for it. Fed up in a hurry i went back to 5.0.2 with latest Odin and flash gave no errors.
-> Now m stuck at Samsung logo and can't go to recovery mode. I let the battery drain and went to recovery mode to wipe data and cache but it was no help.
-> I waited for few days and flashed successfully the marshmallow firmware but it still gets stuck at logo. After the battery drain i did a wipe of data and cache in recovery mode. Nothing helped.
All drivers were perfectly installed and i double checked the firmware's. The latest odin software gave a pass with no error. I am stuck a boot logo. I can't go into recovery mode unless the battery drains out and neither wipe data and cache is helping. Now my Sister's gonna be back for weekend and i have to fix this by 6 days please help !!

Same issue happen with me after flashing stock 6.0.1, but the below method saved my phone.
if its stuck on Samsung logo don't wait for battery drain try this.
reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.
As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.
in the stock recovery wipe the cache then power off the device for 30 seconds. (this will completely clear all the cache).
Now you can turn on the device.

[Q] i9505 Recovery mode not working

Hi everyone,
I am having a bit of a problem with my s4-i9505. A few weeks ago I upgraded to Android 5.0.1 manually (using Odin) and all seemed to work like a charm. I also rooted it to. So far so good
Last week an OTA was pushed and I mistakenly clicked okay. Suddenly the battery drain was insane. I read up on it and one of the solutions was to clear the cache. I powered down my s4, pressed the Volume Up + Home + Power button and for an instant I saw in small blue letters in the upper left corner: Recovery mode and underneath it the Samsung logo. Then the screen went black and booted normally.
Since then I've tried
using apps that make the S4 boot into recovery
reflashed the stock 5.0.1 firmware
reflashed an older version (4.4.2) causing a bootloop
reflashed the stock 5.0.1 firmware (solving the bootloop)
Flashing CWM recovery using ODIN.
Still only the text Recovery mode shows up, before rebooting and booting up normally.
Does anyone have a solution to my conundrum?
I managed to fix it myself eventually. I did a factory reset from within Android settings. And now i can get back into recovery mode.

[HELP!] After E5 bootloops and left it for a day, it won't turn on!

My device is E500H, it turned bootloop. But then, I am confident because I know how to fix it so I download the firmware to fix it throught ODIN. But when I try to fix it and switch to download mode, IT WONT SWITCH (After I left it for almost 24 hrs). I thought it's BATTERY IS LOW. So I charged it for an hour, and after it I check it again but there still no response. -_- WHAT HAPPENED? How can I fix this? This is my first time to encounter this and first time to post here because really need urgent help.
Solved
Since its a bootloop try draining the battery fully. Then connect your charger. Immediately before the boot logo apears hold the three buttom combo for recovery mode. Wipe data and cache and then reboot. Hope I helped

False alarm, yea you are right. It was drained. Haha. Though, after I flashed the firmware the bootloops still persist. -_- Tried many times flashing via Odin but when it reboots, the problem is still there.

You have to factory reset via recovery.
Remove cache from recovery.

When it stuck on the animation then press volume down+power+home button together for some time , it will again go into download mode , then flash previous rom which you were using earlier ,After flashing previous rom factory reset then wipe data /cashe . Now again flash rom which you want to install.

I experienced the same problem in my galaxy E7. I had 87% charge when i flashed the new update and it stuck in a bootloop.
Drained the battery. Connected charger and went to recovery before it started. Cleared cache and did factory reset. Started normally after that.

Galaxy S4 i9500 bootloop

Hi, I have a Galaxy S4 I9500 and I'm using GEAR CM13
The ROM was working fine until a while ago, but now suddenly there's a bootloop. Last thing I remember doing was accidentally holding the power button a bit long (while trying to lock the phone) so the power off/reboot menu came up and and then I tried to exit from it, but the menu didn't go away and the phone entered into a boot loop
Now, the Samsung i9500 logo just keeps flashing every 5 seconds. I'm unable to enter into recovery mode. I can enter download mode but it just exits out of that after 5 seconds and starts flashing i9500 logo again. I read about a hack to remove battery as soon as I enter download mode and it worked. It stays on download mode now. ODIN recognizes the device. What can I do using ODIN to fix the bootloop? Is there any ODIN flashable zip? I'm on the latest [20160711] build. I have important data in my device. Please help me recover it
I know I can reflash stock ROM and from there, reflash GearCM13 but I do not want to lose data as much as possible. I'm trying for fixes which do not wipe my data partition. I will go ahead with the standard method if I do not find a fix to recover from bootloop without losing data.
Hi,
I would suspect the power button first (probably stuck). Some hits to the power button using a solid, hard surface will help.

Repeat intermittent boot loop

hi all,
Just come back from holiday and SM-G928F edge plus (european model) battery was completely flat.
I charged the mobile and booted it up, loaded into Android then sounded like a lots of notification alerts then phone made a loud buzzing noise and crashed/auto-reloaded.
Since then it had gone into a boot loop. Tried holding power and vol down to reboot phone. Initially this function worked then no longer worked. Phone still stuck in boot loop...
Could not get into safe mode (hold power and vol down then release power)
Tried in recover mode (hold power, vol up and home), tried clearing cache took ages about 1 hour, also tried the format option, rebooted system and still boot loop..
Tried going into Odin mode (power, vol down and home) , used ODIN s/w and installed the latest XER version firmware, got success message but still boot loop...
Interestingly when I left it to constant boot loop, eventually it booted up Android now. However once I start using the mobile it intermittently reboots the mobile and then goes back into boot loop again...
When I did manage to get into Android I tried using an app to check the mobile health, strangely I notice it said I only had 1gb ram spare and the rest was used when mobile was factory reseted and I didnt expect so much RAM in use. During stress test mobile crashed and gone into boot loop again...
I am not sure this was affected by an auto update that may had gone wrong.
I don't root, just used stock firmware.
UPDATE:
Left mobile in boot loop until battery went flat, fully charged it and now can get back into Android. But it started to auto update some app and then auto rebooted/crashed and went into boot loop again.
Please help.
Thanks
Is there anyone who can help me please?

SM-G930V Verizon stucked into Recovery Booting... (BOOTLOOP), hard bricked? HELP!

Hello guys this is my first post.
I have a SM-G930V Verizon S7 that previously was in bootloop with OREO, but constantly rebooted at the beginning of the setup I mean when it says hello and so on.
I flashed Nougat without problems and booted normaly but then the FRP was doing his work, I could not boot since I didnt know the email or password.
I then flashed a file that I found to bypass FRP and succeded. I finally got it working very well.
After a while when I tried to clean bloatware suddenly frozen and then never booted again, I wanted to root but couldn´t.
NOW when I flash any ROM from Marshmellow , Nougat and Oreo, it says PASS in ODIN but I cannot enter the recovery.
Vol+, Home and Power gives me a blue line top left saying RECOVERY BOOTING..... then a blue screen saying ERASING... and the reboots again and again. The menu that I can get is the Maintenance Boot Mode (Vol- Power). This menu has 4 items:
1.Normanl Boot, 2.Factory Reset, 3.Safe Mode, 4.Power Down, and the only who works is power down.
I don´t know how much batery is left because I don´t know if in this menu or in download mode the battery charges.
I flashed the last OREO from SAMMOBILE, I also flashed the ROM wich I grabbed when using VZW Software Upgrade Assistant which supposed to be repairing the device but nothing whatsoever.
I don´t have any new ideas my head is full and hot now. PLEASE HELP will be appreciated.
