I earlier had an issue where i would get a bootloop at the samsung logo, after several attempts i was able to flash lollipop leak and it runs, but like 5 minutes on it just reboots. i've read numerous threads saying to disable scanning always available, but this does not help at all.
the same thing happens when on safe mode. it reboots about 5-10 minutes in.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone.
I had been using my T-Mobile S4 for close to two years. Had been running custom ROM this entire time with not much problems. The worst I've had only required a simple re-flash.
This time, the phone randomly shut off as I was messaging someone. Any attempts to boot it will result in it being stuck at either the "Samsung Galaxy S4" screen or the screen after, and then bootloop. It is worth noting that there was not a set amount of time before it freezes.
It took me a few tries before getting into recovery mode, and I have tried clearing the cache as well as data, but it still would not work.
For the last resort (after a couple hours of troubleshooting and flashing roms), I decided to re-partition the phone with the stock pit file along with stock ROM through Odin. Odin said everything finished successfully, but the bootloop is still going on. Nothing has changed.
Is it a hardware problem that I am experiencing? What is the next step that I should be taking, besides using up the warranty?
Update: On some boots, it would result in artifacts on the screen.
Sometimes it would actually boot into the "Optimizing apps" screen, but it would randomly shut off and continue with the bootloop again...
I have a Note 3 (SM-N9005) running Lollipop 5.0 I tried to root (n900-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.0-kk(0812) via Odin. It PASSED) but couldn't get to custom recovery. It would only go to download mode with a message at the top of the screen saying "could not do normal boot". Tried re-flashing 3 times but still same result
So i re-flashed stock ROM with the idea to start again. Got a PASS according to Odin.
But now the phone mostly freezes at the Samsung boot screen and then shuts down. Occasionally it makes it all the way to starting but then shuts down again. Any ideas please??
Thanks
PS. I can get to stock recovery and download mode
Hello,
my Galaxy S4 got soft bricked recently and I am looking for a solution for 5 days now and now I decided to ask you guys for help since I can't find anyone with the same problem.
I had Albe95 LolliROM 9.0 (15/05/16) [HPA1] flashed on my phone for about 3 weeks and everything was perfect.
I was using my phone when it suddenly restarted itself and it got stuck in a bootloop (SAMSUNG animation). After many attempts I could boot into recovery (TWRP) but it would freeze there and I had to remove the battery...
I could also boot into Download Mode so I decided to flash a stock rom (I9505XXUHOJ2_I9505OXAHOJ2_I9505XXUHOJ2_HOME.tar) which I downloaded from Sammobile. Odin would always stuck at system.img.ext4 but again after many attempts it workted and I had success. When it was booting my phone froze at "optimizing apps". So I had to turn it off and restart again, but this time the phone was always freezing at the first samsung logo and wouldn't go further.
I can still go into Download mode but can't flash anything because eather Odin fails (complete(write) operation failed) or my phone freezes. Sometimes when I boot my phone into Download Mode the screen would do strange things like flickering and weird colors would show in DL Mode.
So my problem:
- booting into Download mode after works though it freezes sometimes
- can't flash roms because phone is freezing all the time
The model # in download mode is 9505? Was the phone ever dropped? You're using the original Samsung USB cable to flash?

Thanks for the reply.
-yes modelnr is 9505.
-i have not dropped my phone recently. I mean its over 3 years old so of course I've dropped it but never really bad and it has no scratches or anything.
-I've tried different cables and samsung cable was one of them.
I also tried all ports of my laptop even tried another pc
Maybe flash the stock rom with a pit file?

I didn't try this pit file thing because I don't understand the meaning of it exactly..
But after many many Odin flash attempts I got a success with a stock rom 5.0.1.
I think I figured out what the problem is but I can't really tell why it's happening (Hardware broken maybe, but which one?)
So after the flashing the stock rom successfully the phone restarted and started the first boot but it froze during the samsung animation again...
I thought maybe if I try a lot of times eventually it will work, so I tried and tried and it always got stuck at samsung animation. (before every boot I had to remove the battery and wait ca 10 sec because otherwise the phone would not start booting at all)
I did not come further than the samsung animation so I removed the battery and placed the phone (I almost gave up).
But after one hour I tried again and this time it passed the samsung animation and got to the Optimization part of the apps. aaaaand it froze there again.
I thought maybe if I wait again for 1 hour I can pass the optimization part. So I did and it really worked. I got to the startscreen.
So the current problem is:
- The phone boots and makes it to the homescreen and freezes after ca 10 seconds. And also I have to wait for about half an hour or one hour to get that far. If I try again right after the freezing I can't get passed the Samsung logo.
What could cause this freezing? Maybe the cpu has to "cool down" in the one hour of waiting and freezes because it gets to hot? I really don't know what it could be.
Something on the motherboard, likely either CPU, EMMC chip, or GPU, is failing. Why or how I don't know, but I'd have a tech look at it.
I reverted to stock firmware,even though it restarts freezes,and screen wont respond at all,even after downloading updates it wont restart it just dies and sleeps,sometimes when i lock the device it wont turn on again,sometimes it restarts.
when i pull battery and starts device it sometimes boots to odin : failed to boot mode , and some times mmc :read failed,after repeated attempts it starts again, and this cycle continues once again,what is the cause? i tried taking out sim and memory card still issue persists,any help is highly appreciated.

Hi, I'm new to the forum.
Lately I'm having this problem where my phone ALWAYS freezes right after the main screen appear (sometimes I get to mess around but it always freezes). Resetting it to factory setting sometimes fix it but if I disconnect the charger it immediately freezes and I have to reset it again. In the past it only froze when the charger was turned off but now it is freezing even on the boot screen (2nd asus logo).

Unlocked Bootloader
TWRP recovery
Xposed framework latest version

android 5.0
I saw some threads about unlocked bootloader freezing the phone but I don't know if my problem is related to it but later in the weekend I may try the "fix".
Thanks.
