Resetting problem! [HELP] - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anytime I reset (turn off and then turn on) my phone it will be showing Samsung logo forever until I remove battery and turn it on again. But when the system initializes it will reset back again and be stuck in the logo again. Then the only solution is to wipe data/factory reset.
This began a month ago when I was deactivating ULTRA POWER SAVING MODE and it reset by itself.
I have never flashed or rooted this phone or anything similar.
Is it possible to wipe the system completely and reinstall the firmware? I bet this would void warranty. Any help?

Yes, it's possible, your warranty will be safe.
Boot your phone into recovery by holding VOLUME UP, HOME BUTTON, POWER BUTTON
Do factory reset when recovery screen shows up.

But I have done that already . Actually, anytime it is stuck, I do the factory reset using this method.
The problem is that's really annoying having to install all apps again.

So you should reflash another stock firmware. There's no harm here, no warranty void as long as you don't root your phone.
Go to sammobile, download a relevant stock firmware and use Odin to flash it.
Just remember to follow the instruction step-by-step.
Don't worry

Use Helium to back up. It saves app data, home screens and you don't need root.

Stock Nexus 7 wont boot after 4.2.2 update & factory reset

Got OTA after clearing framwork services, decided to factory reset from settings/backup reset.
After it shut down it proceeded to boot, gets past the google logo and about 20 seconds into the "X" then the screen brightens briefly then it shuts down, was totally stock and locked.
Totally stumped as to why this has happened, and help/ideas would be greatly appreaciated.

AW: Stock Nexus 7 wont boot after 4.2.2 update & factory reset
Put it on the charger for some time, at least half an hour, then try to start again. Looks to me as if you battery is too low.

1 - unlock the bootloader
2 - flash stock 4.2.1 image from fastboot
3 - flash the ota zip
if doing so it doesn't work, you'll need someone more experienced than me to help you
Battery was at 70%+
Recovery showed no command
Left it on charge for about half hour, tried booting and it still didn't work then when I next picked it up it was showing the language selection screen. So go figure, its back up and running.

Why would you do a factory reset after flashing the OTA? Anyway, if all else fails, return to stock 4.2.1 and update through OTA again, or better yet sideload the update.

Try flashing stock rom again, then OTA via the system updates in the settings menu.

New problem with phone..

My LG-E612G was restored but had something worrying saying ".android_secure.img not found! Skipping restore of .android_secure.img!"
I then just shrugged it off, but when I rebooted it and got to my unlock screen, it powers off.
I already did a full wipe and restore. Now what?

I think that means there is no file for apps on external memory, don't worry, our phones don't support that.
After a restore over time (i mean, restore a back-up from a month ago) you have to wipe cahce & dalvik cache after restore
Try it

Even one on the 4th of September?
EDIT: Tried it. The only thing different from the boot up was that it said "Android is Upgrading: Optimizing applications 33 of 43"

Can't get into emergency mode. I'm screwed. Today is the day I had to use it.
When I return, I hope someone will have replied. :crying:
You'll get into recovery mode if you Connect your phone To the PC without battery while you press the vol. Down key. than you can restore it With kdz or LG Software update tool.

Thank you! I was FINALLY able to get into Download mode.
Thank you very much!
Right now it is in Download mode, and it is flashing.
Repeated errors.
Keep getting errors whenever I try to enter apps.
EDIT: Tried going into Recovery Mode, factory reseted my phone. That seems to have done the trick.

Manually boot into recovery?

I've researched it and cannot find a answer. Say if you get stuck in a boot loop and want to flash a nandroid backup or something. The only options I seen with the buttons when the device is off or whatever take you into download mode or a mode that only says factory reset.

On the Verizon model I have TWRP installed and hold power on+volume down and when it says the factory reset I just go ahead through it. The phone still has all your files. It just ends up wiping the OS.
Just my .02 cents because I've been in that position.

So if it wipes the os it leaves the phone in a permanent boot loop therefore not working if you do that, no?

[Q] Note 3 won't boot past boot screen - HELP!

Stuck in a very odd position after a reboot. It won't boot past the Samsung logo screen and requires the battery to be removed before I can try again. The charge cable shows a frozen battery icon for a few seconds (should be near full), then appears to go off again. I *CAN* get the phone to boot the standard recovery or download mode and was rooted - what is the best way to get it working again from here?

Tried without any luck. Factory reset also failed, I guess I have to try a full stock reflash from ODIN.

Why not try to go into recovery and do a factory reset.
Usually the above will fix the "stuck" on boot issues.
Good luck!

Ended up having to resort to ODIN 3.07 and flashing the entire firmware again from sammobile. Now there's the tediousness of reinstalling and setting up everything all over again, but at least it's not dead!:good:

Phone Rebooted and stuck on Tmobile screen

Guys,
I got my S7 Edge from Tmobile yesterday. Did all the updates it was fine. I then used package disable pro and disabled few apps. I rebooted the phone it was fine. Today it just rebooted and is stuck on Tmobile (boot screen). I can go to Warning page using power home & volume down key. I cant figure out how to reset the device to factory ! Any help would be great. The phone gets insanely hot while its trying to boot and vibrates.

Press and hold: power, volume down and home button upon reboot. It'll take you to stock recovery where you will wipe data x2 and then reboot.
