Weird S7 Edge Problem Blue LED Black Screen - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Starting from the beginning: My phone crashed restarted several times and then black screen with blue led. Then I had t wait for the battery to die because none of the home power vol, power vol keys worked. Eventually got it into recovery mode selected wipe cache restarted same problem.
Now the phone even boot into recovery. It just stays on the blue screen saying "Installing system update" . The little recycling loading icon spins a couple times then its just stuck. Resorted to losing everything and installed smart switch and did emergency restore. Flashed a few times still no joy. Took it to shops they charged it turned it on and its reset to factory. Got it running again, only for it to go into a boot loop. Curious if it was actually fixed, i booted into recovery mode same issue and now back to square one. (I did let the battery die and started it up, came to the home screen and it started rebooting again to black screen and blue LED again.)
I do intend on sending it back but I am wondering could be that the recovery partition is corrupted?

Tablet on with black screen. Need Help!

My tablet screen froze when I was using it. I pushed the reset button after the screen was unresponsive for a few minutes and it wouldn't go past the boot screen. I went into recovery but was unable to mount anything. Doing a little research I went and wiped the data but it still wont boot. I used APXflash tool, entered by SBK, and now the tablet turns on but no boot screen, no recovery, nothing.
Does this sound like the memory died, or am I making it worse by trying to fix it. I was running cwm recovery and omni rom light when this all went down.
Any 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?

S4 black screen everywhere

So this happened when I installed latest version of LOS14.1.
Basically happened to me 3 times, the screen won't turn on after I lock my phone, reboot doesn't help and there is no logo on boot. Black screen in recovery and download mode. I managed to enter download mode and installed stock firmware but the phone screen is still black.
When it first happened I managed to 'repair' the screen by pressing power button for some time. Second time it happened I got lucky again and screen turned on so I did factory reset. This time I can't do anything, I flashed the stock firmware and the screen is still black with blue LED on. I'm out of options and have no idea what to do, I am going to open my phone tomorrow to check if some cables loosened up.

Boot issue

I am having an issue booting my S7 Edge (US Unlocked)...thanks in advance for reading
Woke up in the middle of the night, checked a text, pull down menu froze screen, noticed battery at 1%...plugged in to charger
Next morning, black screen with solid blue notification light
Tried restarting several times with same result, but eventually it booted normally (one time)
Phone went back to same state...black screen, blue notification
Tried several restarts and eventually went to recovery mode...cleared cache, rebooted, no luck
Over the last day and a half I tried restarting many times with varying results
Always get "Rebooting Recovery...." on top of screen
Sometimes get Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge" screen, though most often not
Usually get the "Installing updates" screen, then "No Command"
Sometimes (rarely) I can get to recovery screen...though most often not
Sometimes in recovery screen I am frozen (volume buttons don't work for selection)
I can usually get into download mode
I've tried everything I can think of and find to get the phone to restart including letting the battery drain completely and doing a full recharge and restarting without SIM/SD
Any ideas on how I can get into my phone without a hard reset...i'd like to try and backup some files/texts first if at all possible. I haven't been able to get into safe mode
Any files I can load to SD or through ADB that would help?
Phone is stock...no rooting or roms (first time keeping a stock phone...go figure)
Thanks.
I've tried flashing stock firmware from updato and sammobile with no luck. Can never get past the "Recovery Booting...." screen. No help from smartswitch. Anything else I can try?
Having the same issue...
any help would be appreciated.
Tried flashing many times and got several different errors...often if failed on cache.img.ext4
I was able to flash BL + CP + CSC successfully, then flash AP successfully. Still had boot loop issues after that though, so not much progress.
Once I did get the "error...connect to smartswitch" screen, but smartswitch did not recognize device.
Not really sure where to go next from here.

Stuck on "Starting Android..."

Hi Guys
I used Odin to reflash my Galaxy S10+ dual sim (duos) as it was experiencing some slowness. I used the Singapore firmware as it uses the same "G975FXXU1ASBA" model name.
The process completed successfully but when the phone boots, it gets past the Samsung logo screen and then gets stuck on a blank black screen with "Starting Android..." showing in the middle. I can swipe down from the top to show the toolbar, but it is limited in what I can select from it and the phone doesn't get to the point where the home screen boots.
I'm guessing this could be an app optimization process but after 4 hours, it was still on this screen.
I've tried re-flashing (redownloading the firmware files), clearing the cache and rebooting the phone.
Does anyone have any ideas?
In case you do want to start clean anyway, have you tried doing a reset in the recovery menu (where you are wiping the cache)? This will wipe all data.
I may have to try the full wipe, which is something I wanted to avoid but seems I have no choice.
Hopefully that at least solves the problem.
I have the same problem but I cannot get it to boot into recovery or download mode. I was flashing Magisk at the time. Odin said it worked but now it wont pass the initial stating android... Odin detects the phone but can talk to it. ADB does not even detect the phone. Phone power and reset come on. if i hold both volume the assistant comes on and if i hold bixby the safemode tag appears in the bottom corner but it still wont boot past Starting Android or boot into download mode
