Hi all!!
Unfortunately my first post here starts with something not quite fun.
My BS2 has just randomly decided to go into a bootloop (I think it's called.). It doesn't even get past the logo screen and it's totally unresponsive to all buttons. So, not quite sure what to call this.
I have NOT EVER rooted my device or flashed any firmware or messed with it in any way.
I was just using it normally when it suddenly started flashing and turned off, never to turn on again.
The phone is running the latest version of the Global from. Nothing else to describe really except that the phone is bone stock with nothing ever done to it.
Would really appreciate any insight anyone would have on this!
Same problem

Hi guys,
I would really appreciate your help if you ever ran into such an issue.
This thing started happening on Android 4.3 and it continued on Kitkat after I unlocked my device, unlocked, wiped and installed factory image of Kitkat.
The thing is that while working the screen suddenly turns either black/gray/ image dims/ only half image appears.
It mostly happens when using Chrome.
after a few minutes of dimming just leting it on with the screen off, it all go back to normal.
The only thing I noticed is that the region of the back camera gets a little warm, but besides that everything's OK.
Have anyone ever ran into such a thing? What could be the problem?
I'd appreciate your response,
Fabian
anyone??
Please?
Thanks,
Fabian
Hey guys,
Some how my phone got a virus and I believe the virus has completely wiped the stock rom. Last night, I took it to the AT&T store, they were able to boot into download mode. It gave a warning saying a custom rom could break installed apps or something.
They gave it back to me, and I figured I could just reflash the rom since it was somewhat bootable, so I turned the phone off until I got home.
Once I got home, I tried booting into download and the phone isn't responding at all. I've tried all of the button combinations, tried a different battery, tried charging over night. Nothing has worked. After a while last night, I was able to get a vibrate and the screen would flash a 1px line across the screen and turn back off. This morning however, I am not getting anything.
Not sure if there is anything I could do at this point. Hoping someone has a way to force download through the computer or something. Never had any problems with viruses, always been cautious. Its really frustrating. I know viruses can be really nasty, but can it seriously delete everything including kernal or Samsung's bios?
Thanks for the help, don't think I have any options but hoping someone is a wizard and can help.
This is my first post on this forum. I searched around here for a solution, didn't really find one matching my problem. I am not a phone wizard or anything like that either. So I'll try my best explaining my problem.
First things first:
Phone: Note 4
Model #: SM-N910T
Android Version: 5.1.1
Rom: Stock Rom
Rooted: Rooted Once and used a custom Stock T Mobile Rom Once.
Here's the ROM I used at the time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...10tuvu1cog2-debloated-deodexed-stock-t3175406
Recently I So recently my phone out of the blue started lagging, freezing, and restarting itself. I didn't download any applications or anything like that for it to freeze up. I was currently then on the custom ROM I have mentioned above and it was the updated version. I have tried everything to my knowledge to try and fix the problem. I have tried going back to stock T mobile ROM (currently on stock rom now) through odin and stuff. After all that, it was still lagging, freezing, and restarting etc... Ran it through safe mode and the only problem in safe mode is that the lag is gone, but the restart is still there. Running in safe mode, if I would turn the screen off and back on to unlock my phone, there would be like 40% chance that it would restart after unlocking the phone and the phone would just restart normally. Rarely, whenever my phone would attempt to restart.. I would get a "Could not boot normally" message along with couples codes below and the image of android guy. Then I would have to take my battery out and attempt to restart the phone once again.. I've wiped the cache and everything in recovery mode, nothing helps at all. Also, the phone is in perfect condition. Hasn't been dropped, cracked, no water damage, or anything like that.
This place is my only hope to fix my phone before I will go out to buy another phone from the carrier.
Thank you all for taking your time to help me

Well I already got rid of my note 4 unfortunately before anyone could help me here so I had to upgrade my phone to note 5 and return note 4. While I still had my note 4, I realized something weird. While the phone was lagging and crashing etc.. When I had it plugged in for charge it would work perfectly fine. No lag, it wouldn't freeze up or restart (had it running perfect for 7 hours). It was like my phone was brand new again. As soon as I unplugged it from the charger, few minutes in and it was back to restarting and all that. I never knew why it did that.
Anyone know why this mightve happened?
Might be the battery though
I thought that too. I tried my brothers note 4 battery for awhile and it worked for a little bit and then it started doing the same thing even on his battery. Shrugs.

In the COH update iteration there is an annoying bug that affect fingerprint.
The bug causing the phone to restart, lagging & closing all apps randomly when the fingerprint is set.
May be this one is also the same.
Try to disable all fingerprint related settings.

I never used finger print scanning on my Note 4. Always disabled.
Hi guys!
I devoted myself a complete evening into fixing my little brothers GS5. 2 weeks ago he told me he was installing an original Samsung update. However after this update his phone would randomly turn off after a few minutes of being on. So I guessed something was wrong with the software. I flashed a stock rom onto the phone, but now it doesn't even boot. I tried multiple stock versions of Android 4x 5x and 6 for the GS5. None of them made the phone boot. Sometimes it showed the Samsung logo, but most often just black screen. I can't boot into recovery either, the same story. I tried twrp, the lights of the buttons were on, but the screen wouldn't turn on. When the phone normally boots with a black screen I sometimes get notifications though. LED flashes sometimes and there's audio.
Anyone having any thoughts how I can fix this? Help is much appreciated!
Yesterday was listening to Pandora via headphones, and the phone reboot itself to the "device may be corrupt screen" when bootloader is unlocked. While rebooting, the screen shut off and now the phone is completely unresponsive. The phone was running the latest Pure Nexus Rom with a Substratum theme.
Similar experience for me just recently. Last Friday I was out doing Uber/Lyft and upon accepting a call in the Uber app my phone froze, shut off, and then bootlooped. I tried literally everything to restore my phone, including fastbooting a stock image but the phone continued to bootloop and then shut me out of TWRP. Have a refurbished one coming from Google today. Phone just nuked itself while running Benzo ROM, no clue why.
The only thing I recommend is calling Google and go thru their troubleshooting. When it doesn't work they'll send you a new one (you'll be charged for the device until you return yours) and start over. Crazy, I've never experienced anything like it.
Cheers and good luck.

yea seems strange, unfortunately I'm unable to do anything with fastboot as mine won't even boot into anything.
This happened to me as well. Phone just booted when to the corrupt screen and died. Obviously freaked me out. I held the power button down for a very long time and it booted back up. Please try that. Phone has been fine since then.
Thats scary. It didnt give any warnings (unusually high temps, glitches, random reboots)? Neither of you flashed anything other than PN in the days/hours leading up to the complete shutdown?
Im a bit paranoid since Im running the same rom. But everythings ok here.
