Anybody else having an issue where a reboot takes a very long time? I have the Verizon G2 rooted. I get the LG logo briefly, then about a minute or more of black screen with the LED pulsing before my boot animation starts. Running stock with some mods. Might have to do factory reset and see if it still does the same thing.

I have had this phone for months. Installed TWRP 2.6.3.4 and CM11 Official. Recently the phone has SOD, and when i hard reboot (hold power button), the screen stays black. I have to reboot multiple times, and sometime plug in the power to get it to come back. Also, after it finally comes back, the video will glitch for awhile and the be fine until the next SOD. Anyone heard of something like this? Thinking I should go back to completely stock and see if it continues.
Hello everyone,
i'm posting on behalf of a friend of mine. He has a i9505 that suddenly stopped working. He told me the phone would randomly shut off completely for no reason. I took a look at it today. On boot the phone would display the kernel logo distorted (vertical lines) and the WHOLE screen would turn green. This happens only sometimes however. After displaying the kernel logo the phone simply shuts off. Even in the recovery it would suddenly reboot. And the a blue led lights up sometimes.
I've never owned a samsung but i have the phone here with me (LG/Sony user ). I went ahead and flashed I9505XXUGNF1_I9505OXAGNF1_I9505XXUGNF1_HOME.tar.md5 in Odin. Flashing went okay, the problem persists.
Btw, knox is 0x1. My friend told me he only did a factory reset, never rooted etc. Can't comment on which version of android he had before.
Can someone help out?
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!
I've been having some problems with my Galaxy S5 recently after ~2 years and some change of owning it. I'm stock rooted on the original ANCG KitKat version.
The problem: If I power off my phone, it will cause it to go into a bootloop, not going past the first screen (Samsung Galaxy S5, powered by android). I haven't found a reliable way to fix it from the loop, but I usually just remove the battery, wait, and try again until somehow it just works and boots up. This is extremely problematic because sometimes my battery runs out and after charging I'll have to go through this game of chance again until my phone works.
The next problem also adds to this frustration as well. When I attempt to pick up a call, my phone will sometimes just not work and restart itself. This leads to lots of confusion and I can't call them back for some time because the phone is stuck in a bootloop.
In the few times that I do get my phone to actually boot up, everything works fine except sometimes my Wifi just doesn't work. It gets stuck on "turning on" where the notification drawer quick setting icon is dim green and never gets to the turned on full green state, eventually just turning itself off (no green color).
I haven't done a factory reset or any real troubleshooting yet, as I'm a bit worried I won't even be able to boot up the phone and I don't have the time yet to spend a full day fixing it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
The calling problem may be caused by the google dialer app not being set as the the default phone app but as for the other issues i have no idea a factory reset is a good start though
unfortunately I had the same problem but I have marshmallow but the factory reset helped with the not booting up and see a big difference with the battery
So, I know this phone is old asf but I can't find any tutorial and I really don't want to flash my phone for the 30th time again.
I just tried installing LastPass Authenticator (for 2FA), and when I launched it my phone just turned off, I tried booting it up and it went past the splash screen to the T-Mobile logo, and after that just shut off.
Now it'll just stay on the Splash screen for a bit, it won't even get to the "Samsung" animation, and just shuts off. It was stock ROM as well as stock recovery as well.
Don't know why this is happening, but its the second time something similar has happened. I really don't want to reset the phone due to the data I have on here, so any help is appreciated.
