[Q] Samsung Galaxy 3 stuck at "SAMSUNG" logo

Hello.
After installing NDrive, I rebooted the phone by shutting it down and powering it on.
Now the phone is stuck at the SAMSUNG logo boot-screen.
Before that, I installed root and also flashed it to version I5800XXJPB.
Root and flash worked fine (there was some lag though).
I tried reflashing the same firmware version but it still stucks at SAMSUNG logo
Edit: I forgot to mention I also did a Factory Reset, Wipe Cache but still nothing.
What should I do to get past the samsung logo?

reflash your phone with the firmware of your choice

I ran into same problem reflashed with I5800XXJPF
problem solved

In fact, the real answer is: You should flash a firmware with datafs.rfs on it .

HELP!

I installed IceCreamBread Apocalypse. After a few days of fine using, I turned it off and now it's stuck on the galaxy y logo! I flashed some stock ROMs from download mode. But then it just kept showing the logo, the logo vanishing, and the phone turning off! What's worse is that this problem REPEATS until I take out the battery!!!

Try to flash an stockkernel first and than a new firmware.maybe its help.good luck.
GREEEEEEEEEETZ!!!

first of all, before you flash this arrow room, which version of samsung android u had?, if u had 4.2.2 u can still flash official rooms via odin, from 4.3 u cannot, the only way would be if you make a backup of ur sgs4..., customs roms can brick your phone (for me the safest one is cyanogenmod, but in a sgs4 only when the phone never were updated with android 4.3 on 4.4.2), try JTAG to fix it(not u, an expert needs to do this...)
PS: sorry for my bad english(still learning)

910F Freeze while booting

Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Note 4 (910F) with a little error, that I thought I could solve.
After flashing stock firmware with Samsung Kies (+Original FWwith Odin) the phone starts booting normaly. After a few seconds and hearing/seeing the samsung logo, it starts installing that 27 default apps..
During the installation it suddenly freezes, vibrates twice and then it restarts... Now it is stucked in a loop.
So, I installed TWRP, wiped everything and I installed a CFW. Now it starts booting but during the Samsung Logo it freezes, vibrates twice and reboots. Now it is stucked in a loop.
Now I have no clue what to do. Can you guys help me out?
P.S.: It could be possible that I solve this problem if I restore a TWRP-Backup from an other Note 4? Can someone upload this files?
Thank you!

Probably faultly hardware

How can I found out what is exactly wrong?
Maybe getting a log file of the booting procedure?
Could anyone upload a TWRP Backup of a running system?

GT-I9505 unable to boot; freezes constantly in Download Mode; can't flash anything

Hello,
my Galaxy S4 got soft bricked recently and I am looking for a solution for 5 days now and now I decided to ask you guys for help since I can't find anyone with the same problem.
I had Albe95 LolliROM 9.0 (15/05/16) [HPA1] flashed on my phone for about 3 weeks and everything was perfect.
I was using my phone when it suddenly restarted itself and it got stuck in a bootloop (SAMSUNG animation). After many attempts I could boot into recovery (TWRP) but it would freeze there and I had to remove the battery...
I could also boot into Download Mode so I decided to flash a stock rom (I9505XXUHOJ2_I9505OXAHOJ2_I9505XXUHOJ2_HOME.tar) which I downloaded from Sammobile. Odin would always stuck at system.img.ext4 but again after many attempts it workted and I had success. When it was booting my phone froze at "optimizing apps". So I had to turn it off and restart again, but this time the phone was always freezing at the first samsung logo and wouldn't go further.
I can still go into Download mode but can't flash anything because eather Odin fails (complete(write) operation failed) or my phone freezes. Sometimes when I boot my phone into Download Mode the screen would do strange things like flickering and weird colors would show in DL Mode.
So my problem:
- booting into Download mode after works though it freezes sometimes
- can't flash roms because phone is freezing all the time

The model # in download mode is 9505? Was the phone ever dropped? You're using the original Samsung USB cable to flash?

Thanks for the reply.
-yes modelnr is 9505.
-i have not dropped my phone recently. I mean its over 3 years old so of course I've dropped it but never really bad and it has no scratches or anything.
-I've tried different cables and samsung cable was one of them.
I also tried all ports of my laptop even tried another pc

Maybe flash the stock rom with a pit file?

I didn't try this pit file thing because I don't understand the meaning of it exactly..
But after many many Odin flash attempts I got a success with a stock rom 5.0.1.
I think I figured out what the problem is but I can't really tell why it's happening (Hardware broken maybe, but which one?)
So after the flashing the stock rom successfully the phone restarted and started the first boot but it froze during the samsung animation again...
I thought maybe if I try a lot of times eventually it will work, so I tried and tried and it always got stuck at samsung animation. (before every boot I had to remove the battery and wait ca 10 sec because otherwise the phone would not start booting at all)
I did not come further than the samsung animation so I removed the battery and placed the phone (I almost gave up).
But after one hour I tried again and this time it passed the samsung animation and got to the Optimization part of the apps. aaaaand it froze there again.
I thought maybe if I wait again for 1 hour I can pass the optimization part. So I did and it really worked. I got to the startscreen.
So the current problem is:
- The phone boots and makes it to the homescreen and freezes after ca 10 seconds. And also I have to wait for about half an hour or one hour to get that far. If I try again right after the freezing I can't get passed the Samsung logo.
What could cause this freezing? Maybe the cpu has to "cool down" in the one hour of waiting and freezes because it gets to hot? I really don't know what it could be.

Something on the motherboard, likely either CPU, EMMC chip, or GPU, is failing. Why or how I don't know, but I'd have a tech look at it.
