My Samsung s5360 stopped working all of a sudden.
I switched on my mobile and typed in the SIM code, I turned on wifi, visited the Google store, had a look at a game and suddenly the screen went black. I thought it's the screensaver that kicked in and clicked the power on button, but from there on it kept rebooting till the "Samsung s5360 young" screen.
I read that these are the symptoms of bricking your device, but I never rooted it nor tried installing a custom ROM. I still have the original Samsung one on it.
I found a website that explains how to simply reset the cache when soft-bricking the mobile, but that didn't help. Do I really have to reinstall the original ROM and lose everything on my mobile? How can such spontaneous bricking happen anyway?

You can restore your phone,you will have to flash odin firmware package.But yes,you will lose your phone data i.e. SMS,call log,contacts,bookmarks etc.To prevent this,you should keep a timely backup of all your stuff.Goodluck
Is there any way to save content from this bricked phone before resetting it? I only used it as a secondary mobile to use a few apps and I think I saved them all to the SD card when installing them, but just in case I forgot some apps or other content...
maybe power button need replacement

probleme of the power button

Guys, if I keep pressing the power button+up+home or power+down, I can get into the reset-menu and Odin mode without the mobile switching off by itself. So stop it, the power button is not broken.
Anyway, I found a stock ROM for my country. I flashed my mobile using Odin3. As soon as it was done, I saw some blue text on my mobile and it reset immediately, but right afterwards the boot loop restarted. I flashed it again for about three times and I still get the boot loop.
Alright, could flash my mobile after an odyssey of downloading hundreds of wrong or faulty ROM archives from dubious sources, unpacking them with Odinatrix which didn't help, going through the hassle of installing Cygwin and searching for Info-Zip, load the single files into Odin3 and finally, finally having my mobile boot up to the home screen.
No, my power button is still not broken.

why are you searching around various sites for stock roms when they are all on my firmware thread already split with splitfus2 ready for flashing with odin - they are all wipe packs too so they will automatically format system and data to avoid bootloops
My firmware thread as ever is at the top of the dev section or links in my signature

Because what you state here is not true. The Swiss stock ROM is not listed in your thread.

its classed as European - you will find that the baseband across all Europe stock roms are the same and the firmware - the only thing that could be different is the csc however I post open csc which means it will work on any device as they are not locked to a certain provider unless stated - eg the teltra Australian one
If you see my which firmware do I need thread you would see that any firmware that starts XX is classed as European
If you require a certain region you need the csc of that region the csc included does not meet your needs
I also have a splitfus2 guide for leaning how to split the firmware yourself from sammobile if you require any firmware which isn't listed on my thread
Hello
I have a Yotaphone 2 running android 5.0. I have a huge problem with the device which is, that the phone reboots automatically all by itself after the screen turns off. The screen timeout is set at 1 minute and once the screen goes off, the phone reboots! I don't know what the problem is but its making me crazy!
Note: The phone does not reboot if the screen doesn't turn off. So I changed the screen timeout to 30minutes. Also note that Wi-Fi doesn't start immediately. It doesn't even start most of the time and is stuck at "turning on"! And also, the phone isn't detecting my SIM Card!
Hope someone can solve my problem.
Wow, seems a lot of problems here. However you provided very few info about your phone.
1) Where did you buy it?
2) What have you done after you opened it, OTA? Which firmware was installed?
3) Have you tried factory reset by wiping data in the stock recovery? (Accessible with Vol+ and Power)
4) Have you tried to flash from scratch the RU .124 firmware with YotaFlasher?
5) The phone was behaving normally before or it's doing this as soon as you started using it?
I got the phone as a gift

-The phone was a gift from "Aramex Company".
-Yes, I have factory reset it! Note: It wasn't possible to reset it from settings because it would always get stuck in "Shutting Down" phase and nothing would happen. So I hard reset it.
-I found something strange going on though. Whenever I reset it, It would restart (after the reset is over) and say that "ANDROID IS UPGRADED TO 5.0".
I think it is upgrading by itself to 5.0.
-No, I haven't tried any flashing.
-Yes, the phone was working fine for a while and then started behaving like this!
Cheers!
(Thank You for your support and attention by the way)

Hello!
I have made a video showing what the problems are! Please give me your e-mail so that I can send you the "Dropbox" link to the video.
Thank You!
I think the first thing to do here is to flash a clean firmware (RU or EU) on your phone via YotaFlasher, search here on xda how, and then report back if it's happen again! Seems that the firmware it was shipped with wansn't so stable.
Flashed it!

Hey!
As you had prescribed, I flashed it! First I flashed it with Android 5.0.0-ME1.1.60 and after opening the phone I used it for a while and the phone was same as before flashing! There was no difference at all! The phone was restarting on turning screen off as usual, the WiFi wasn't turning on, and the SIM wasn't being recognized!
But then I flashed it with Android 4.4.3-S01-003-ME1.0.3.61a and the phone is still rebooting by itself upon switching the screen off and the WiFi problem still persists! The WiFi just simply won't turn on. It's stuck at "turning on"! The SIM isn't recognized either! Also, the phone is restarting from the inside now (It wasn't restarting before. I had to keep the power button pressed every time I wanted to restart)! But NOTE that the phone still cannot be just shut down, it can only be restarted!
I don't know what to do!
Cheers

Hi lgk350tr,
Why are you unable to make yotaflasher work, it is a pretty simple application. Have you tried to see instruction videos on YouTube on how to use it? Instructions are also available on XDA Developers' website. ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/yotaphone-one/general/yota-flasher-download-t3480922 )
Don't hesitate to contact, for any problem!
Cheerio

Try flashing the hybrid modem mentioned in the general guide (Part 2).
Try flashing 2 times before rebooting.
If nothing helps, you could try lineageos, @angelll123 made a lengthy guide how to that in the post quoted here , also check my comment.
Is this what you mean?

I have attached a screenshot of the Yotaphone 2 General guide page, I want to know if you are referring to the text that I highlighted in the screenshot!
Thank You
I do experience similar issue, but only recently. I haven't done anything like flashing or upgrading my phone, it started by itself .
I am experiencing reboots whenever battery drops below about two thirds of its capacity. Also, charging and handling some load prevents this.
Note that my Yotaphone has both displays damaged. Still working though.
Hi guys, got problem with my s7 edge.
It started when i was using google chrome browser.. when i tried to login a site, that website or the app kinda freezed.
I couldn't press back or home. So i did old way, by holding the power button.
After my phone is shut, i reopen by holding the power button. Then i see the red text message on the left corner on the boot screen.
Now i can't power the phone up anymore or even charge it???
it doesn't open up. Getting scared if it died. Any clue's why dis happen? Need help.
It died. Nothing you can do.

Oh well, it is in reparation.
Don't listen to that douche. Check out updato.com to download the latest stock firmware package for your phone, and flash it with Odin. Just type "Odin v3.12.3" into Google and download it, the rest is pretty straight forward. Your phone is definitely not dead... it's amazing how easy it is to fix these problems and at the same time moderately depressing how useless posts like the one above yours seem to be what somebody would take the time to respond with instead of an actual solution to yours, and who knows how many hundreds of others', relatively minor technical difficulty.
Pro tip: If you want to try and keep your data/pictures/messages etc., try and flash the *CSC_HOME*.tar.md5 package for the CSC section as opposed to the plain-Jane *CSC*.tar.md5, it will preserve your userdata.
Yea dont listen do that dochebag. I got EXACT same error yesterday because I just opened Download Mode and did no mods at all. When I rebooted it gave me this error at doesnt boots. I have given it do the dealer to get it fixed. My phone was already moded to change single sim to dual mode. It was G935S BTW. I factory reset it but it didn't help so dont bother, try what rick said to perhaps save data if you want? But it can be fixed by flashing stock firmware, I just don't wanted to do because my internet sucks and I dont wanted to kill it as I am new to this device, bought 4 days back. Gl to you!
Hello Everyone,
First of all I am a newbie when it comes to Android, so forgive me for asking such a noob question.
So here is the story, my girlfriend's dad passed away few months ago. He used an old Samsung S8, sadly we do not know what the login pattern is or his Google account password (We did try recovery options but to no avail)
As there was no other option, I went ahead and had the phone factory reset, and from what I learned the phone is now FRP locked.
After a reading a few more guides I downloaded a tool called Odin and some 'Stock ROM' and flashed it hoping that would resolve the issue (Oh boy, how wrong I was) and the phone is now stuck on a screen saying "Error occurred while updating the device software, use the emergency recovery function"
My girlfriend just wanted to be able to use it for some time, and now I feel really bad for screwing it up.
Just wondering what my options are and if the phone is salvageable at all?
Hey, are you sure you downloaded the right ROM for this S8? Since there are two models of this phone, each with a different chipset (Exynos / Qualcomm Snapdragon). I feel like this error could come from a bad firmware? Does Odin still see the phone when you connect it to the PC?
Edit: Apparently people solved this problem using Samsung's Smart Switch on PC.
Yes, I think I downloaded the correct one. The phone is from Telstra Australia and so downloaded the ROM from Samfrew that was listed as Telstra, I typed in the model number which is SM-G950F it is this firmware that came up.
Yes when I put the phone into Recovery mode and connect to PC, Odin detects it, but the flash gets stuck halfway. I've loaded the BL, AP, CP and CSC that came within the ZIP file from Samfrew and under options only ticked 'Auto Reboot' and 'F.Reset Time'
Also tried just with the BL and AP but same deal.

I've never had to deal with a Samsung that has a FRP lock, that could just be the reason why the flashing fails, i wouldn't know. I hope you can get the Factory Reset to work :/
Also tried the Smart Switch app but it would recognize the phone. Thank you for looking into this.
You could send a message to this user "makeyourself" : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/i-think-i-screwed-the-pooch-on-this-one.3939572/post-79729654 , he seems aware about the FRP locks / flashing issues.
Good luck with your S8.
@Derbi75 thanks heaps, will message makeyourself now.
Ideas? Anyone?

From what I know, the error only appears if the phone was interrupted during flashing. Such as, Odin was writing into phone but you probably removed the USB or stuff. The screen you see is actually download mode. It is just renamed. Try plugging in your device when it's on the error screen then re-flash it.
So I go to schools and help them with IT issues, I noticed they had some tablets sitting there and I asked what was wrong with them and said they were locked and no one knows the code.
SM-P550 - there is account that was signed in with, I have gone to Google admin and noticed there are other 10 of the same type against that account, but has not checked in over a 1000 days as they cant use them.
I can't turn them off, only restat, I can't get to recovery menu, only thing I can go and do is press the power, volume down and home button to get to the screen and it says downloading, and seems to be suck there as nothing ever happens.
I have downloaded all the tools, Odin, Officaial firmware, Samsung USB drivers but nothing comes up on my computer.
Does anyone have any thoughs on fixing this, seems like a waste having these devices just sitting there,
I have tried all the passwords I can get of, nothing.
Thanks
Load a Linux distro and try
Bash:
heimdall detect
If heimdall can detect it, you can use heimdall to flash TWRP and then you can download stock or my ROM (my ROM has no S-pen support).

If they are locked by a Google Account, there is a possibility that, depending on what version of Android is installed, that the FRP lock can be bypassed. Typically, anything later than Android 6, you'd have to send them to Samsung tech support to have the lock removed.

Hi can you provide me the link that you used. I have tried using it and doesnt work for me. Went to Heimdall website and followed some videos
Update, the USB cable I was trying was crap so I change to a better quailty Odin can see my device, I have installed the fireware for that device but the old account stays there, so it has not been removed.

What version of Android did you install? I see that the last version for that device was 7.1, which won't work. But if you can find and flash a early 6 version, I may be able to help. Try Sammobile.
edit: Read this link.
Sorted, so I put the original firmware back on and the account was still there, then I put the combination firmware on, which worked and I removed and reset the tablet. Than I put the original firrware back on. Boom done plus odin needed a high quality cable.
Thanks all
