Stuck on the booting screen - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
So today I received my new i9505, after unsimlocking the phone, I successfully flashed the latest CyanogenMod 10.1. But as I notice some scratch on the side of the phone, I have decided to return the phone. So I had to reflash the phone to official firmware.
I reflashed the official French firmware. Everything was ok until the reboot. The phone stuck on "SAMSUNG" screen and does nothing. And everytime I tried to shut the phone down with power button, the phone retart and keep stucking on the "SAMSUNG" logo; I had to remove the battery to shut down the phone everytime.
If someone can help me please. Thank you very much.

boot into recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot

and if the above suggestion didn't work.. you can try flashing another firmware/rom
maybe it was a bad download. try downloading again.

Solved. Thank you. Please delete

[Q] Note rebooting and rebooting again... How to fix?

Hi everybody,
It seems that the root procedure I used went wrong!
My Note was perfectly working but I miss some "root" applications, that I was used to on my SGS2...
So I used this tutorial to root my phone:
http://androidadvices.com/root-samsung-galaxy-note-n7000-tutorial/2/
Once the procedure complete, the phone was booting, boot animation, White samsung glowing on black screen and finally rebooting!
I don't know what went wrong... I try to reflash the stock firmware KJ4, without pit, and it removes the yellow triangle, but the phone is still stucked at bootscreen, and rebooting and rebooting again!
Please help me? What can I do? Is it really good for trash? Whould be my first...

Try flashing from Odin with the pit file.
I tried that, seems not to work at first glance...
Then I return in diagnostic mode and do factory reset and wipe and finally...
IT BOOTED!
Great!
Many thanks!

Installed CyanogenMod 13, Worked Well, Went into Recovery vibrated and Couldnt boot!

Hi people! I use a Samsung Galaxy S5 sm-g900h. I installed CyanogenMod 13 from Fevax. It worked very well. I used it for a week and afterwards I wanted to install a zip file so I went into recovery. Before I could do anything, the phone vibrated vigorously and I panicked. So, I removed the battery and obviously the vibration stopped. Once, i put it back in, I clicked on the power button to boot the phone. I got the "Samsung Galaxy S5" boot screen and it froze there. Now, its been hours and its still the same. Doesn't start. Please can you help me. Thank You for you help!
Probably corrupted something pulling the battery
Reflash recovery and if that doesn't do it, reflash the ROM
Might have to wipe first

Noobly flashed Yotaphone 2 constantly shows the yotaphone loading screen

I am a total beginner in flashing.....but i tried it myself and now the Yotaphone 2 ist constantly loading the "YotaPhone" loading screen. I flashed it with the yotaflasher, after downloading the "4.4.3-S01-003-EU1.0.3.51a.zip" file in the flasher app. Then i selected "flash device" and the app did it's job. Now the phone is constantly loading the mentioned screen :-/
I bought it from China, so i have the y206 with android 4.4.2. If anyone could help me... I would appretiate it very much
There are many threads about this problem, but my phone is passing the "powered by android" screen... so i don't know how to progress.

Thanks for the fast reply keeper. The phone doesn't let me reach that mode. I had to wait until the battery died, but if i charge the phone it immidiately boots and ends up loading the "YotaPhone" screen non-stop
Firmware update
i flashed it now with the "5.0.0-RU1.1.99.zip" and exited the yotaflasher.....now it froze in the "powered by android" screen. Let's see what happens

Sm-g900f (uk) galaxy s5 - arrgghhhhh

Can anyone PLEASE help??
My partner opted to do a suggested update on her S5, but didn't notice the wifi was off. The phone seemed to have done the update, but shortly after it rebooted itself, then again, then again. The frequency of reboot got quicker and quicker and now it loops between the Galaxy S5 splash screen and the SAMSUNG logo, but doesn't go any further.
I managed to boot the phone into reset mode, cleared the cache and then did a factory reset, but that did nothing to prevent the boot loop.
I then downloaded Odin (ver 10.3.7) and what I believed to be the correct firmware (G900FXXS1CPLV_G900FVFR1CPJ1_G900FXXU1CPIW_HOME.tar.md5).
Having checked the battery was charged, I followed the instructions of connecting the phone via USB, loading the md5 in the AP, checking Auto Reboot and F-Set time in the options and clicking the Odin Start button. I had removed the battery, replaced it and then booted it into the update mode (Power, Home, Volume Down, then volume up) with the screen confirming I was in the right place (....do not unplug.... etc).
The file loaded, (green bar at top of the Odin window on my PC) and Odin reported success. I then disconnected the phone, booted in recovery mode, reset the cache and then did a clear data, factory reset.
The same symptoms prevail, STUCK IN BOOT LOOP!!!!
The only thing different is that if I plug it into the USB on my PC, after a while the phone tries to turn itself on and goes into either a boot loop or freezes on the Galaxy S5 Splash screen or the SAMSUNG Logo.
I am charging another battery (just in case that is in some way to blame) and will try again to replace the firmware, but could I be missing something, do I need to do anything with PIT (I thought this was all taken care of by Odin using the MD5 file) or is there some other test I can perform that will show if the phone is fried???
MANY THANKS for looking!
ur going correct, try to reflash it again through odin and dont disconnect phone until it boots into system, it is taking some good time, so just wait and dont do anything this time like clearing anything or restoring. i hope ull get success.
THANKS - but...
Thanks Rayzen, I will try the whole thing again, but I think there is something more to this than a firmware fault!
There and gone again
OK, so on the 4th attempt I got the phone to take the firmware using Odin, it reported success and the phone rebooted itself (several times) and eventually appeared to boot to a new factory reset.
I put in a SIM card and entered my email and google account details and left it charging over night. This morning when I tried to use it, the screen froze and then it rebooted itself. Hey presto, the phone is back to square one with a boot loop.
ANYONE (please) got any suggestions?
THANKS
No one??
same here, same symptoms, same feeling.
when flash gone right... i feel lucky.. but for half hour only, rebooted and angain in boot loop.
I cannot even boot in recovery. flashed TWRP. from 5 boots in recovery only 1 success.
When trying to wipe phone in TWRP - it hangs.
still trying to install some other (custom) rom. still no success.
hope never dies
same things happened here! now cant get samsung galaxy s5 to boot...............
Are you sure your using right firmware? as it took me a few versions before it booted last time this happened?
Could any please confirm what is the right firmware for samsung galaxy s5 900F
It took another 6 or 7 attempts, left it over night and was about to trash it when it booted.
I then received a 'software update available' message and tried installing it. First attempt put the phone back into boot loop so I reflashed it again using Odin.
That worked immediately the over the network software update installed and now phone is 100%
Very frustrating but I got there!
glad you fixed it! ive tried three different firmwares and still nothing.
trying this one atm
G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FEVR1AND1_G900FXXU1ANE2_HOME.tar
oh and how long do they take to boot when there are sitting at the samsung glowing screen?>
I'm in UK and used what (I had to guess) was the best firmware.
I'll let you know which version it was when I get home tonight.
BUT I had all the problems with a single version and it eventually came good.
I read somewhere that overwriting a different core (from specific providers) with generic firmware, could lead to a world of pain until it gets full replaced... not sure if that's a good description (or has any fact to it) but it seemed to be re-loading and re-loading and re........ for ages, finally cracked it.
well mines booted now!but getting constant errors about samsung push!
If it'still booted, you'very made progress!
Push issues are mentioned elsewhere and can (eventually be sorted) but if you have a booted phone you should be able to get an over the air software update installed from the service provider....?!
