Hello I'm having an issue with my Note 4, it is a device I love but I feel I may be forced into changing to a cheap cheap phone
All of a sudden my smartphone randomly restarts and gets stuck in an everlasting bootloop, I have to remove battery to be able to shut it down and have it boot up.
It is all stock apart from the updates Samsung asks every now and then.
I'm a scrub and this matter
The battery is relatively new, original working for under a year. 7 months maybe.
This is my phone, there are many like it but this one is mine!
Thanks in advance for any advice given
Eki
Problem solved my friends,
my note4 is pretty much alive, battery died after 7 months. A new one sorted it out.
Thanks all
Hi to everybody, I bought a sm-n910F on ebay from a 100% positive feedback seller. First time I turned on the device I realise it was slow. After I upgraded it began to reset automatically as many of you wrote in this thread. I wondered, if I change the stock rom with a custom one, will I solve this issue? Or if I flash a marshmallow firmware before this last update will I solve the issue? Another question still, can I flash a lollipop firmware if I find? Sorry for all these questions and thanks in advance. I look forward your answers.

Hello!
Please consider opening a new thread next time if you are facing problems or other thing you want to "share" on XDA. I'm not a moderator, but I think it's useful for us all to keep this forum clean and clear.
But let's go to your problem.
In principle, I guess that flashing any firmware made for your phone will resolve your issue. No matter if it's a custom ROM, the stock ROM or any other ROM no matter its Android version. But keep in mind that it has to be the proper firmware for your device! (Otherwise you will most likely soft brick it)

Hey everyone. this is my first post here.(hope I'm not in the wrong section)
I have a samsung galaxy 3(or i5800). I bought it just a couple of days ago.
Everything works fine. Just one problem, it has android 2.1 inside. It's a lil bit slow for my preferences.
I really want to update it to 2.2 but I am facing a big wall ahead of me.
I read some threads here saying that I should use a software called Odin. I really dont know how to do that. Its not that i am a noob but it just doesnt recognize my phone and some errors in chinese appear
Can someone help me please?!?!?!?!?!?!

First you need to install kies...so that you have the drivers for ur phone installed in the PC...
Second you need to check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873645
its explained very clearly
You could also update the normal way using Samsung kies. It's the official program to update your phone.
Nah I couldn't do it with Kies. It would say I had the latest firmware. Anyways I managed to upgrade it with odin, so thankssssssss
Holla guys I've recently have an s3.. wonderful device, seriously, but I'm very regretful as regards the SDS issue.. unfortunately my device seems to have the "affected chip" but I love Android world and I can't stay without modding something! the problem, as I have seen, seems to be solved until fws released from 4.1.2... To be more sure, I upgraded my phone to 4.3 stock yesterday and now the fw mounted is the XXUGMK6. My phone is NOT rooted and it is branded Vodafone. In this situation the device should be "covered" (hopefully, this damned issue it's a very bad thing )... however, as I said upon, I want to install something new to speed up this wonderful device.
So let's go straight to the point: what are the bootloader, recovery and rom that have the fws fixed for SDS? What are the best ones IN THIS SENSE? (not in absolutely sense, obviously, because each bl, rec & rom is simply best until it's cooked in my opinion )
Moreover, should I remove brand before installing something? Could you tell me precise steps to do kindly?
I'll be very grateful to everyone can answer my question, really
Ops, I just realized that I didn't write in right section. I'm really sorry. If is it possible may it shift to Q&A topics?
My excuse mods!
-----EDIT-----
I provide soon myself to post in the right place... this one can be closed or deleted sorry for my mistake!!!
Hi all !
I'm here cause i really need your help and to be honest everything i've found on web so far, is telling totally the opposite things so i'm lost.
Let me explain a ltl, i purchased a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Duos/Dual Sim black version (SM-G935FD).
Actually i'm from France ( and i was travelling to Serbia for work, and broke my Note 4 )... The problem is i can't do any update from the phone "Registration Failed" when i click on it.
So after few hours on google, looks like the updates simply doesn't work cause i'm moving France - Serbia ... and the phone seems to be imported from Vietnam.
...
first of all, do you think this update problem is realy linked to this ?
second, i was searching on SAMMOBILE for SM-G935FD to try to put a French Firmware with odin (i don't even know if i can do such a thing without ****ing it up ?)... and on this model all i could find are countries from ASIA.
when i type *#1234# in call i get this :
AP : G935FXXU1BPJG
CP : G935FXXU1BPJG
CSC : G935FOXE1BPH1 (i'm not sure if its a O or a 0 ... the letter or the number :-/)
Model : SM-G935FD
in the Software Infos (in settings) i got this :
Android Version : 6.0.1
BaseBand Version : G935FXXU1BPJG
Kernel Version : 3.18.14-9519568
Version Number : MMB29K.G935FXXU1BPJG
...
please guys i spent a lot of money (in hurry) for this phone, and i'm scared that i got ****ed by the vendor...
if anyone here knows something and can help me... would mean a lot...
Thanks in advance for any kind of help guys.
please guys... if someone got any answer... would mean a lot...
as well if u need any information that can help you answer me feel free to ask...
thanks again.
No need to worry INAX93,
Firmware for 935F will work on 935-FD
Please go to the link below (external link)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/115870/G935FXXU1BPLB_G935FOXA1BPL2_XEF/
You can download this firmware and flash it using Odin_3.12.3 in the download mode by pressing volume down+home+power key when ur phone is switched off and selecting the correct files (the firmware package contains 4 files, hence you need to select the correct slot) and you should be good to go with latest firmware for France...
Hope this helps...

Thank you a million times! And yes it bhelps a lot!
I feel a lot better just with the hope your reply gave me!
So you are sure that i can go with this french firmware and will not get any trouble right? (cause the thing is that i'm not able to even find on Sammobile the firmware i currently have, and looks like its impossible to save from the device without rooting...)
I see a lot of people getring troubles with some functions not working...
And the last thing do you think the "registration failed" that i get when i click on manual update in the phone settings is linked to my location? (not being in Vietnam?)
Thanks a lot again!
Hello, french too, flashed Orange ROM for g935F on my brand new g935FD, everything OK.

Joyeux Noel a toi et aux tiens !
Merry Christmas to all of you guys! And thanks again for your help and kindness!
I use the ZTO 935F firmware on my 935FD with no problems, works without problems.
Dont worry INAX93 this is a confirmed official download of the French firmware. Dont worry it wont trip knox if done correctly and also your phone will be restored to french firmware without any trouble. I have done similar attempts of flashing official G935F firmware on my G935-FD without any problems am able to update and knox warranty also intact. So go ahead and wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year....
---------- Post added at 03:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 AM ----------
Registration will also succeed INAX93 so dont you worry...just go ahead and flash the firmware....cheers....
Hi guys !
I just wanted to thank you all one more time ! with your help i did it ! now my phone (SM-G935FD) is with his French XEF firmware !
So thanks a lot to all of you for your help !
Merry Christmas and Happy new year to all of you !
Hi dear experts !
Hope all of you guys are going well, that the new year brought only positive things to you and your family !
I'm back in this thread cause I need your help one more time... everything was well until approx 6 months ago maybe a ltl more... maybe when the 7.0 version went out...
Actually that's when I faced the problem cause i bought a Gear S3 Frontier... I started having troubles with notifications mostly, they were delayed (sometimes for 3-4 hours !)...
While doing a lot of tests in all ways... i found that when i uninstalled all the updates linked to the "Google" app, or disabling it... it solved the problem... Then 6-7 months later i got pissed of cause i wanted to use some of the Google Now features... So i started searching again... after all kind of tests, i finally found that the problem also get solved when my Bluetooth is OFF... When it's set to off i can have the last update for the Google app and everything works fine...
So as i discovered that, i started thinking... maybe the only problem i have actually is a problem with my Bluetooth... as it started 6-7 months ago, 7.0 Version, Gear S3... the point is I started using the Bluetooth before (for my car) and it was always on... but maybe all mixed together... the Google app updates, the 7.0 Version and the Gear S3 king od bluetooth use... is not mixing well... or i don't know...
then i remembered that i flashed my S7 Edge (g935FD) from Vietnam with a firmware from France (g935F)... and maybe i did something incorrect while flashing that led to some Bluetooth troubles that i just discovered... (i had some problems with bluetooth before, like reconnecting randomly to a bluetooth device even if i disconnected it or things like that... )...
So i started searching and find out that there is actually few different way of flashing it, using odin... and i was unable to find a clear explanation of the differencies to be able to understand what i need to do to flash my phone again and in the best conditions.
There is people saying that a bad way of flashing can lead to bluetooth issues (and other things even worse but ok...), so if someone here can explain me, how can i manage to do it the best way... it would mean a lot...
differences between CSC and Home_CSC for example ? then some people are saying "check the re-partition" others say that you must avoid that... how do I know what is the best to do ?
then a lot of them are talking about CSC codes ?
I hope someone will have answers, i want to try to flash it again to try to solve this problem, without bricking it, and also without triggering the knox thing...
thanks in advance for help again...
Ps : the problem i was talking about is :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/s7-edge-notification-delay-problems-t3635161
or even :
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...and-Answers/Delayed-notifications/td-p/114947
no one ? please guys...
still no one to help ?
guys i need just to know if it may solve my problem to flash my phone...
i need to know if i need to check the "re-partition" thing in Odin... somewhere they say "you must check it if you are changing the CSC" and other say "You must avoid checking this unless you have a Pit file" ...
So what is the correct thing to do ?
My phone shows that it's switched off during incoming calls even though it's on. I am having a lot of problems because of this. I'm sure it's not sim issue and my friend (also mi A1 user) is having the same issue. anyone please help me. Thanks in advance
I have the same issue since the first update to PIE and there is no fix for that. I'm going to kick the phone, it's completely useless right now with this bug.
download and install the latest fastboot rom available
then the issue will go
I have had this problem since January, and I still could not find the solution, I tried to do everything and I could not solve it ...
does custom Rom help?

Yes
i bought this phone for a friend who has all the latest updates and is facing this issue. She is missing important calls.
What is the best solution? Bear in mind I will have to help her remotely and this could be difficult if I am to guide her through flashing a custom rom.
Hi guys,
It's my first time posting on here, and I could really use some help. I recently updated my s8 to Android Pie (worst mistake ever) and now I really want to downgrade. The problem which I think I have is, my build number is G950FXXS5DSF1. As far as I can tell, there is no way for me to downgrade because the Binary Code has to be the same? (5). I hope to God i'm wrong, but I would really appreciate it if there is some alternative. Again, i'm new to this so you have to dumb it down for me if there is a way to downgrade, but thanks to anyone who can help!
Edit: is there anyway I can go back to a previous version of Pie and then downgrade from there, or am I stuck?
Unfortunately u can't go back anymore as your bootloader as u said yourself has been updated to v5 ,earlier pie versions has been on v4 as well oreo firmware so people could downgrade back to it.
So you are stuck on pie forever
I like one ui a lot
Thanks for the reply!
Yeah I thought as much, I think the mistake I made was updating the security patch to June 2019 when I downloaded Pie. I didn't know about the whole binary number etc until yesterday when I spent time trying to figure out a way back to Oreo haha!
Oh well, I suppose such is life, Pie isn't all bad (I genuinely was excited about it at first), just a bit of a drainer on battery life and the camera i'm not too happy with- it doesn't automatically focus anymore. Hopefully Samsung rectify this, I love Android just wish sometimes they didn't change things so much haha!
