Recently I bought a Galaxy S4 i9505, But from the start I started running into problems Random restarts, Hangs, errors even after reinstalling several Stock/Custom roms, Formats, Re-Partitions no luck.
I have came to a conclusion that this might be a hardware issue. Now i would like to figure out which component can be causing the issue.
Will changing the motherboard rescue the device ?
Same problem, but only then device is charging... any advice here?

S4 No sound, reboots when trying to access ringtone
It is now really getting to my nerves, I have updated to Lollipop and now back to Kitkat and the problem is same. There has been nothing done physically to the phone so still i am pretty sure that this is related to the software but the porblem is that the ringtones are not working, when i am trying to call people i cannot hear them and they cannot hear me, camera is super slow and when i am trying to come out of all this the phone reboots and at times gets stuck at the samsung logo.
Please do not suggest to do factory reset, cache cleat etc because i have done all this and still the issue is not resolved. Please please if any expert could bail me out here !!! seriously need your help !!!

Dear all,
I had a note 3 n9005 white which worked fine in the first 5 days. After that, it starting shutting down randomly. The next day, when i start the phone, the screen freezes after 2-3 touches and it shuts down after 5 secs. If you plug the charger, it keep rebooting but does not work past few touches. If I boot the phone in download mode or recovery, it work flawlessly for as much time as you want. Sometimes you cannot start the phone without removing and reinserting the battery. I tried safe mode, hard reset, cache clears etc etc but no avail
I even flashed leaked polish kitkat rom just to see what happens but the issue is the same. Is it a hardware issue or a software/kernel issue ? Please HELP
If it's doing it after a clean flash of new firmware then I'd say it is a hardware issue and you may want to return it and/or get it replaced.

Can you use this app Phone INFO to check for the validity?

try to flash compatible firmware of ur phone
download it from sammobile.com/firmwares.
flashing leak firmwares are not helping cause they seems to be beta and have lots of bug.
anyway there s some threads about random restarting note3 but ur situations is worse.
almost of them as i know take their phone for replacement and if u can do it as well.
if not, search for more stable firmware of course JB 4.3
:good:
If this is true:
"boot the phone in download mode or recovery, it work flawlessly for as much time as you want"
maybe I would lean towards software, but since you loaded leaked KK, you can't go back to factory and probably tripped Knox?, you don't have many options left, especially that you tried just about everything.
IMO loading leaked software on a broken phone was not a good idea, in your case I would try to go stock as much as possible, instead.
Me too, i had this problem several times with 4.3 and after wiping my telephone to install the new kit kat 4.4.2 (polish), i Also had freeze,black screen and non responding screen forcing me to reboot my phone.
I also have lines sometimes when i use my camera!
meanwhile, i have again flashed complete polish 4.4.2 with BL , AP, CSC , Modem and PIT File . IT flashed successfully but the problem still persists. No use . any more suggestion. I think now i cannot downgrade and should i try custom recovery with custom firmwares.
I case of hardware issue, i have no choice as N9005 is not officially launched in Pakistan.So no choice .
@joexda75, my screen also dithers and shows different colors some times on portions and some times it is flawless. So you and i have the same problem but my phone is not powering up and freezing after not more than 6 sec. Recovery and download mode works perfectly as i flashed the Polish ROM again via download mode and it worked flawlessly
Did you make an complete wipe of your Phone? Otherwise you have to contact Samsung.

It sounds like your phone is what we call boot looping mine showed the same symptoms as yours at the beginning and it would also come up with a messege saying that some process had unfortunately stopped working lol

it can be fixed using Mirek190's method just check your IMEI CERTI says pass when you type *#0011# into the keypad if it comes up with PASS then follow mirek190's method without flashing block 12 or block 13 here at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567133
Careful using mireks method. It bricked berrgs note which is currently not working.

Hey guys, i'm from venezuela. this is my first post in xDa Developers. I speak spanish and I speak a little english. So If I write something confused already you all know the reason why. I open one post here because im having a seriously trouble my with smartphone samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9505. since i bought im having random reboots and freezes. without matter what i do on the phone. it just reboots without any reason. I have made all what i could make looking for the solution but the random reboots and freezes continues.
I bought one new battery because someone told me that could be the solution but isn't. I update to the lastest version of official firmware through odin but my trouble continue.
i installed one custom ROM but that isn't the solution, I do wipes data and factory and wipes caches, i do hard reset factory. and any of those are the solution. Im really really mad with my trouble. i uninstalled all my apps and the reboots continues, i locked all the samsung and google synchronizations but it doesn't the solution.
yesterday i enter to safe mode in my S4 and my phone doesn't reboot never. when i return to normal mode just having the BBM and WhatsApp apps installed , my S4 getting back to reboot but this time it late very much time to reboot (i think 6 hours without reboots)
please guys i need your help, im talking seriously. thank you... and sorry if i wrote something wrong ( i don't speak english)
Hi guys, i'm having big issues with my phone.
I was on imperium lollipop Rom, everything went fine, and i began to have call issues (bad reception quality), so i decided to update my modem & bootloader to the last lollipop ones. Then i installed a S6 port rom (by albe95), and my phone became crazy.
I have random reboots, shutdowns, sometimes i can pass through the simcode and i use the phone normally, and then it restarts like infinite times, i have to remove the battery. I wiped data, cache, dalvik cache, system like 50 times, i flashed another roms, the problem still exists. Sometimes i can't even get through the boot, it just shuts down.
I even tried to downgrade to a kitkat firmware, and return to imperium rom still the same problem encountered.
I really don't know the problem, i can access download and recovery menus, i can flash with odin, but can't get the phone to work normally.
Has anyone had the same problem? I'm starting to think that the motherboard is bricked, but why is it so random?
Thanks for your responses.
Best regards.
Check all cables
I got the same Problem , so i checked my motherboard and ive Seen that a cable wasnt putted on

Strange scenario, i changed the motherboard, still the same problem, removed the sd card, same problem, sim too, same problem, so i guess this comes from the battery
Hi folks,
I have a problem with my note4. I can't make it boot to OS, I tried flashing android 6.0.1, 5.1.1 and 5.0.1 with odin but none of them seems to be working. Flashing goes without a problem, however phone just keeps on rebooting after it displays: Samsung GALAXY Note4. I am able to access both recovery mode and download mode(I also tried wiping data and cache, but no luck). I wonder if anyone of you had similar problem and if you know is this a software or harware issue? Thanks in advance!
I can think of two different issues (both of which have been thoroughly discussed before, removing the need to start a new thread had you used the search function).
First: If connecting a charger stops the reboots, it's your battery. Easy fix as all you need is a new battery. Second, if it keeps rebooting when plugging in, your eMMC is probably failing. This is a hardware issue and can't be fixed at home.
But - before we jump into conclusions, can you provide a bit more details? The exact details of the roms you're trying to flash, how old your phone is, are the roms made for your exact model etc. Let's get to the bottom of this.
Can anyone tell me if the tablet's battery might be responsible for it restarting itself? For example I was using it with a custom rom, and until the moment everything was working normal, and suddenly it started to restart, just by opening an application it crashes and reboots, I already tried to install the stock rom and it got worse, I could not even leave the samsung logo. I was able to install TWRP, but every time I try to reinstall the stock rom before it even starts it hangs and restarts, it has reached a point that it hangs and shuts itself. (Backup from twrp).
My tablet is the model SM -T560, I was using LineageSo 14.1 from T561. If anyone knows anything I appreciate it. The reason for the doubt is because I already took another tablet to repair and according to the technician, that could be the reason, the system was crashing, but from what I researched it was a chronic defect so I did not perform the battery replacement. Now i don't have any money to bay a new battery, and the device became an expensive paperweight.
Help please.
Hello everyone, for those who are in a similar situation, in which the tablet can not open an application without it restarting, reinstalling the stock rom and it keeps crashing and restarting, tried everything via software and did nothing for nothing. The battery arrived today and I'm testing to see if the problem solved and so far everything seems okay, I hope I can help with something.

Uhm Yeah you can help with something, Sorry I wasn't a member when this was posted. Do you by any chance have the CM12.1 Custom ROM for the SM-T561? it's okay If you only have one for the SM-T560
