Stock tablet, no root or super kernel etc..
Last update done. still the RR on effects, excepts, now it wont start again.
I'm stuck at the spinning circle.
How can i fix that ?
Or i'm seriously thinking of throwing that &*@# back to asus.
Anyone on the same boat ?
So when you power it off and power it on again, it freezes sometime during the ASUS boot animation every time?

Yes, always the spinning circle, not freezed, always spinn,nothing more.. until battery die i suppose.
What are the first few characters of your serial number, because you're probably going to have to NVFlash that, if your device will allow it.

It is one of the first, i don't have it right now, i'll have to look at the box, cause the sticker is not there anymore.
If i have to do something out of the usual, i'll just send it back to asus.. this is a non working unit that need to be repair, or replaced, or they can put it where i think.

ok i'll try this at home, i'll plug it before to be sure.
and i'll came back to you.
If you have one of the early units, it should definitely be NVFlashable. The symptoms sound like a system file or system files have been corrupted. NVFlashing the unit with a "known good" image should correct that. Unless there are hardware problems as well, I would not send it in for warranty repair, because there is always a chance that it comes back with more hardware problems than it currently has, whether due to bad technical work or due to transit. With an NVFlash-capable device, almost all software problems can be resolved on our own.

Yes, try baseballfanz suggestion first. It's worth a shot, and it's easy. With any luck, that'll be all that's needed.

I've tried the wipe data, and it is working now.
All apps are being re-instaled right now.
Thanks a lot.
As for my satisfaction of the asus tablet, it is getting worse, let's just say if they don't fixe the RR and vpn soon.. well, you know, when the time will come to buy another one, the choice will be made easier by elimination.
I was this close, to either throw it back at them, or just crush it with a hammer... i don't care for the cost, we have to pay for our error. Mine might just have been to pick up that tablet from asus.
Future will tell us.
Have you tried holding down the power button for at least 10 seconds? Sounds like one of the reported problems lots of people are having.
Edit - ignore me, I didn't read your posts properly :-(

Yes i did that too.

The wipe data did work this time,lets hope it stay that way.
I have noticed that when I charge my Galaxy S4 version 4.4.2 overnight, when I wake up the LCD screen is black and the only two buttons when pushed are the menu and back button. I have to take the battery out for a few seconds and restart before it will function correctly again. When I call ATT technical support the only thing they suggest is to master reset ALL THE TIME and of course that's getting annoying. I've been noticing this ever since the last update. Is there a fix anyone or any settings I should fix or change?

The original file may be lost when you update your phone.
It is hard to go back the old the version. You can ask the repair store near you to root it. Or you can wait for a more advanced version to update your phone again.
Another possible is that the LCD screen was broken during update the version.

I wish I could root but I'm terrified to. I've download all the software and prepare myself for it, but then I chicken out for fear of bricking my phone for I just upgraded to the galaxy s4 6 months ago. Thank you for your response, I will consider everything else you suggested though.

I would suggest rooting & installing a custom rom as far as I can see you are left with a useless phone & you can't brick it if you follow the instructions set out in threads ? Seriously it's almost impossible to brick even if you make a mistake ?
Otherwise I would suggest contacting tech support & demand a replacement/solution to the problem as it only happened after your last update?
Note 4 wont turn on, "cannot boot normal" and "downlaoding target, dont turn off"
Its a Note 4 SM-N910F, Android 6.0.1, BB N910FXXU1DPE2, kernel 3.10.40-7733605 [email protected] #1
i feel I have tried everything... History:
Phone has been working fine for a year, upgraded to 6.0.1 no problems about 2 or 3 months ago. no new apps installed. Last week it started getting very laggy, keyboard strokes took for ever to register. I thought, ok, time to to a factory reset to blow out any old cobwebs. Did it via the menu. However the phone froze midway thought. I left it for an hour and then pulled out the battery. I popped it back in and it performed the reset without me having to press anything. Cool, thats good I thought.
Now I was going to change the battery, so I powered off as normal and put my other 2 week old original samsung battery in, and it would not power on. After a few reinsertions it powered back on. I though i have to do another reset. So I tried, and it would not reset. It just died. I cant restart the phone, it dies. If I shut it down normally. it wont turn on back on, I have to take out and reinsert the battery multiple times, holding down the powerbutton between to discharge. this can take up to 10 tries now. Sometimes it will go th the unable to bot in normal mode and "downloading , do not turn of target, but it will stay there for ever, more than an hour.
Every 15-20 tries it would turn on, let me get in via pin, only to start freezing up within a min, and then die again. Somewhere I read that a guy hada similar problem, and he used wakelock and that worked, on level 4. I managed to download that and used it, and hey presto, it works!
Now I had to power down the phone for a reason, and it took me about 30 min of battery and powerbuttonholding before it managed to boot up, and I was quick enough to start wakelock on level 4.
It wont boot in to safe mode, it wont boot in to recovery mode, it wont boot in to the factory reset mode. Its the same with either battery, and different cables.
Any ideas what i can do here, or what could be wrong? I havent gotten it wet or banged it.
I am having the same exact issue on a N910A. Phone was functioning correctly and in December it started getting really laggy. Performed various resets, purchased new battery. Still laggy. Up until two weeks ago the phone was slow but now it will not power on . The phone will not charge as well.
Mine did same, 6 months old, not rooted stock firmware. Locked up yesterday, couldn't do anything. Pulled battery and restarted. Samsung logo comes on screen goes black for android boot then it hangs with blue led flashing. Nothing I do gets it past that point. Tried safe boot but it doesn't fully launch with correct button combo and volume up. In the end I re-installed firmware using Keis. All went well, everything as per youtube tutorial. Except one thing, at end of download phone didn't re-start. Still can't get it to boot, any ideas?
Edit: Lock up didn't coincide with any new apps being loaded or updates of existing. Only change was a week ago which was an automatic update of the stock firmware (Lollipop)

are you still under warranty? i sent mine to a samsung center, the guy recognized the problem as the motherboard, said I wasnt the first. That was 3 weeks ago, they are STILL waiting for the parts. They say the Samsung factory are way behind with repair parts, etc etc. I am hoping it will go under warranty. Ill update when I know!
I've been having the same problem that started yesterday morning. I've tried a few different solutions but nothings worked, I get the feeling that my phone is dead and I'm not in warranty either. I'm going to approach Samsung but my guess is they will want more than the phone is worth to repair it. I've read about so many people having the same issues, its horrendous engineering on Samsungs part considering how much their phones cost to start with

Your guess is probably correct and I totally agree with you. I seriously think manufacturers do not want their devices to be problem free for more than two years. Probably why they have stopped making phones with batteries that simply pop out.

Definitely...surely it couldn't have been that hard to make a device with a battery that was still removable on the newer phones. It's frightening how many forum posts I've found with people having their phones just brick out of nowhere (and that's just the note 4). I've given up trying to fix mine, I've tried every method I could find and nothings worked. I can only assume that this problem is simply the motherboard of the phone not working anymore. I'm not even sure what phone to buy now but it certainly won't be a Samsung.

If you do not care about the camera thera are a lot of rather affordable options which can be tossed in the bin when they start malfunctioning and if their warranty has run out. If you care about the camera being as good as the Note 4's than the range of phones you can buy is quite limited.

If you are able to boot it into Download Mode then you should Download Stock Rom file for Galaxy Note 4 from Sammobile and Flash it through Odin..
Everything will be OK... ?
Unfortunately, SAMMOBILE does not have the SM-N910A firmware.

I think the camera on the note 4 is absolutley terrible. I might even go so far as to say the pictures are unusable. the applied noise reduction renders everything splotchy, colors are off and its not sharp at all. and Im not talking dark conditions here.
Anyway, my phone was repaired under warranty and is back to working as it should. It was indeed the motherboard, so if you have the same troubles I had, those are your best bets.
I don't think replacement via warranty will be available. I will attempt to power into download mode and verify if I can get it back up and running. If not, a good ole paperweight.

Sounds like the problems I have: with my first N910F: started with lagging apps / freezing, then random reboots now and then, eventually giving error messages when booting. Finally, now it will only start after the battery has been out for at least 30 minutes, but hangs on error message. When pulling battery out and putting back in it, wont give a single sign of life. Since I was just out of warranty it has been lying around, and I bought a second hand N910F for replacement, sadly its starting to give the same errors too and is just out of warranty too (its currently still working, but with freezes / reboots / and already a event with boot error).
I read It could be memory chips or some power chip on the motherboard, appears to be a common problem. So.... Last month I bought a new motherboard on ebay (chinese delivery, 80€). Received it last week and put it back in; phone is back to life. (putting it in is a very simple task, with iFixit teardown / guide)
Anyway, I love the Note 4 for performance / size / looks, and have been Samsung fan for a while, but this recent breakdowns and information that it is fairly common, has diminished being a fan fairly quickly and I guess the Note 4 will be the last Samsung device for a while after this new motherboard breaks down as well

My phone is also random Rebooting
It also shuts down at 25% of battery remaining, Have you also faced similar issue?
Download the app "Wake Lock" and run the Partial Wake Lock option. Apparently the updated software impacts the CPU. For the restarting issue, put it in the freezer for a couple minutes. You may have to take the battery out once, but it has worked for me every time.
This looks very much like the issue reported here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...-error-fix-t3434335/post72944466#post72944466
There are temporary fixes (wakelock), but ultimately this is a harware issue, and the fix is a new motherboard.
I think that underlying it is a problem with heat affecting the eMMC chip or its connection to the motherboard.

Hey can u pls get me the stock firmware for n910gddu1dpb4
You might find this interesting. Since I couldn't get mine to power up at all, I called Samsung tech and they quoted me $75 to fix it and they would pay for shipping. I figured it was better then getting another phone off Swappa. 2-3 weeks later i get an email that they are repairing it under warranty at no cost to me. I got a refurbished phone since i know my IEMI number was different. they didn't explain why. Anyway, I got lucky i guess.
After I installed Lineage os 14.1 and GApps on my Samsug S5, it works just fine. Just one problem however:
Every now and then, my phone hangs, with a blue screen that only shows date and time. Nothing goes anymore, only the removal of the battery and restarting again can get the phone out of this "hang" state.
Is this a know "feature" with lineage os on the s5? And, better, is there a solution for this problem?
I have a screenshot of this blue screen, but I did not find the option to add a picture to this post...

Hi ChrisL17,
I would be happy to hear if your new SIM card helps. Though mine is not really old (I guess around 2 years)...

For helping! I disabled flip cover (in German Settings "Einstellungen - Klapphülle") and hope, that's the solution.
However, today I also installed my new SIM card, but I'm quite sure the flip cover thing is the real reason.
Up to now, no blue screens anymore... Looks if the problem is solved with this...

Mine does the same thing too. It did it on 16 and now 17. My mom has 18 and it does it on hers too. I can't find anything like what you suggested - I see smart Lock but no smart cover or flip cover. I searched flip, cover, smart. Please help! My mother's "new" ST has done it 4 times already in less than a day and she's getting REALLY frustrated. Please help!!! Thank you! ?
Same Problem. Phone is off since the last blue screen
It happened to me as well. with samsung S5 and Lineage installed. Since it happened the last time I removed the battery "as usual" and since then I can not turn it on again. It starts with the samsung-logo and then the lineage "starting"-meme is moving, but nothing happens. It´s like it´s stuck. HELP!!!
Anyone any ideas?
Thank you!
I was struggling to find this on LineageOS 16.
Found it in Settings > Connected devices > Connection preferences > Smart Cover
Turn it off via the toggle at the top!
We'll see how it goes! Thanks!
Same problem on linage 16, now it seems to be solved disabling the ''smart cover'' under Settings > Connected devices > Connection preferences > Smart Cover.
Thanks to all
my oneplus 5 was working fine before 4.5.13 ota update after that my phone doesnt rotate to left and gets inverted.I tried flashing other roms and hard reset but no luck.There are more users having problem after this update,any solution?
Pass the stock rom by adb sideload
Set the device to fastboot mode and connect the USB cable. Then type:
adb sideload rom.zip
For more information go to oneplus website.

Yesterday I went to OnePlus service center, they're asking me to pay 2900 INR for the sensor.
I've denied to pay and they rejected my devise by mentioning it as a physical damage
I bought my phone a few days back and noticed same funny behavior with compass (if not mistaken works with rotation sensor also). I gripped my phone firmly so my phone can't fly off from my hand, after that I gave it several sharp and sudden turns on both ends of 3 axis of rotation (X,Y,Z) my problem was solved. You can try it at your own peril. If you have positive results, let me know.
I had this too. Now I'll stay on OOS 4.10 after gettig it repaired for free.

No idea I guess we just had bad luck with the Mainboard. I don't think it had to do with the specific update.
