My problem solve
Tanks from "riobenny" user for this help:
remove ur battery.
then, u must turn on ur phone by pressing power button, and volume down. hold those two button, till u find android puppet logo, and a triangle.
if previously u run eclair ---> touch the bottom screen, choose wipe data/ factory reset, and choose wipe cache. (navigation entirely using touch screen)
if previously u run froyo ---> press vol up and vol down together, choose wipe data/ factory reset, and choose wipe cache (the navigation is using vol key, to choose using power button)
after u wipe all data and cache, press REBOOT system.
but.... IMMEDIATELY after u press REBOOT, u must press vol up buttong and HOLD for around 6 seconds and then release.
after that, ur screen will show boatloader mode, and u can flash it again using FULL SBF froyo for fresh one.

My Nexus 6P is stuck in a bootloop. It's already on the May build.

I don't know how to use the Android Debug Bridge but want to try to fix it without having to get Google involved
The first and foremost way, is by clearing the cache partition through stock recovery.
Boot into stock Android recovery:
Power down your 6P completely.
Press and hold volume down and power keys until you see the bootloader mode.
Keep tapping either the volume up/down key, until you see 'Recovery mode' as the selection. Select it by pressing the power button.
A black screen should appear, with an Android bot and exclamation mark. While on this stage, press and hold the power button, and tap the volume up key once.
You should now be in stock recovery mode.
Now, you will need to use volume keys to navigate, and power key to select 'Wipe cache partition'. Finally select 'Reboot system now'.
This may just fix your issue. If it doesn't, let me know.
Didn't fix it. What do you recommend I do now?
I'm perfectly fine with factory resetting my phone.(is that the only other option you'd recommend me do?)

Yes, the second option would be to factory reset.
That fixed it
Thanks!

S7 Edge Exynos stuck on 'SAMSUNG' boot screen

I accidentally enabled Emergency Mode, and now my phone is stuck on the boot screen. It is a G935f, and I have used Package Disabler Pro. Is there any way to restore my phone?
Hard reset your phone or flash the stock rom
Power off your device.
Wait for a few seconds while your phone is shutting down.
Press and hold the Power, Volume Up and Home buttons simultaneously to get into Recovery mode, Mine takes about 20 seconds or so before anything happens.
Use Volume keys to navigate and Power button to select an option in Recovery mode.
Once in, from the main menu, using Power key, select wipe data factory reset.
If you want to clear app data cache too, choose wipe cache partition. Clearing cache often fixes various software related issues.
When done, go back to main recovery menu.
Select reboot system now and that’s about it.

phone wont stay on long enough to do anything

My note 4 wont stay on not even long enought to login to the play store, it just freezes for a second and reboots.
would it be possible to fix it with a custom rom and theres a way to install without installing any app on the phone
Hey there, you can try to do a factory data reset if the phone boots into recovery mode.
NOTE: A factory data reset will wipe the whole device including the internal storage.
To enter into recovery mode, power off the phone. Then, hold the vol up + home + power buttons together till you see the Samsung splash screen. When the splash screen comes, release the power button and continue holding the volume up and home buttons till it boots into recovery.
Once it's in recovery mode, you can use the volume down button to scroll to the 'Wipe Data/ Factory Data Reset' and then hit the power button to select the option.

Okay. Does it boot into Download Mode?
To enter into download mode, power down the phone. Similar to the recovery boot process. Just that instead of the volume up button, you need to hold the volume down button.
If it does boot into download mode. Does it stay on or give you the same problem?

Maybe you can try installing the firmware through Odin. It may fix things. Else it could be an eMMC failure.
It could be a battery problem. I had kinda the same issues (random reboots that became more and more frequent and at some point the phone barely booted). So i ordered a new battery and problem is solved, phone is up and running again. If you can, try another battery just to be sure that this is your case. Also, the worst scenario is that some people reported random reboots when emmc memory failed. I hope this is not your case
