hey all i got my samsung galaxy 3 one month back and around 2 days back i just switched on my cell and it just stopped at samsung screen and didnt load so i showed it to the samsung customer care ,they fixed it .now its happening again!!
i dont know what to do!!
i have no idea about flashing or rooting or bricking or whatever
plz help me out!
got this cell from my pocket money!!

Check your battery, but it shouldn't be issue if phone actually starts. I recommended you to read about flashing and install new soft. Maybe you just overused it.

Relax bro, its all right as of now. Try the following then we will see what to do
1. Try to do a factory reset.
2. Try to remove SD Card and then use phone for few hours without it.
3. If Any of the above solves your issue, then post here, else I would strongly suggest you to Flash a Stock ROM. You can contact me if you don,t know how.
Since you are from bangalore, so I am assuming you have a I5801 with Android 2.1 installed by default. Also post if you updated the firmware using KIES?
For the time being, cheer up as our Galaxy 3 is not frail

Yes i will second haree....in warranty period, if you havent made changes to your ROM, you should get it back to service centre and ask them do a proper repair, you can also tell them its a persistent problem. My apologies for not mentioning this as the 1st step above. Thank you haree

Galaxy S4 Constant Reboots!!!

Hi all, I have had my galaxy s4 I9500 for 4 weeks now and running completely on stock rom I9500UBUAMDK. Only recently I have been having problems with the phone rebooting 3-4 times a day in my pocket! This is getting very frustrating and need an urgent fix! I have already factory reset the phone and there's no warranty as I purchased my phone online and unlocked. If anyone else is having the same problem or could give me advice, please share. Thanks!

There is a known problem , with too many apps open, and when camera is launched, the phone will reboot.

That is fine my friend just a matter of time there are many things I too donno and take my other expert help
And ya i also can't say exactly what cud have caused bootloop may be some bad files £ apps etc
It won't be under clocking as u did stock flash and was stuck so device was trying to boot in new os u installed
May be something u removed after rooting could have caused boot loop

Yes, mate! I actually using no bloatware app to
Remove those many apps that actually safe to remove
But the boot loop when we turn off the phone ourselves
and when turn it back, it stuck seems no way to pass samsung logo. Maybe I underclocked the phone and it causing the phone to fail to boot past?? I am right or not

No you don't have to its already unlocked

Just flash a kernel with all the feature u need and done
Infact there is a kernel with all that feature called perseus but still on alpha and some bugs are there have to wait for some more days that will be one of the best kernel

That Samsung phones are comes with unlocked

Yeah its pretty hard to modify Sony you need to
unlock bootloader first before using other kernels
That process caused my little old device hard brick one time.
and thats why I am afraid with my new S4 although they are different device

Bootloops are mainly caused by system files interfering with each others which cause instability and/or crash at the boot sequence. :good:

First Charge your battery , your device wont be able to charge it but you have to charge using another A5 or any other way and then you have to try again to enter download mode. without battery you cannot do anything.

It´s 3Day´s old.......(oh nooo)...
Thank you for all..

Hi! I think they can't verify if you have root your phone because the phone won't turn on, they don't have access to Download Mode to see if KNOX is triggered. So, Just send your phone to Samsung and wait... :fingercrossed: I think your motherboard is died.
Also, you may try to press the power button for 15 seconds at least

Normally, it's not good to downgrade your firmware. iPhone is different
I think you should send your phone to Samsung and they'll replace it. Don't Worry

Has anyone yet an idea how to avoid it (execpt not downgrading or custom recovery) ... seems to have something to do with bootloaders

when you downgrade lollipop from kitkat you must need factory reset in recovery mode.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have seen videos for galaxy s4 and s3 but can't find one for our a5.

Bro, you need to run commands in terminal emulator. Google it, you will find it.
