Howdy, att s5 active was acting up so i downloaded the stock ne4 firmware from sammobile and flashed it via odin. Now the phone is stuck at the s5 splash screen and refuses to boot. I have tried booting into recovery and wiping cache and performing a factory reset to no avail. I have also tried using the firmware upgrade feature in kies but this did not work either. I am at a loss if anyone could point me in the right direction to help me get this thing working again i would be very appreciative.
The phone is completely stock , never rooted or messed with recovery or anything like that.

For anyone experiencing issues similar to what I was i believe i have found a solution : eventually i was able to get 4.4.2 to boot fully up - but then began to experience random resets. What I did was go into developer options and switch from dalvik to art. After all of the apps were done optimizing the s5 active now works perfectly, without issue. Hopefully this information helps someone else get theirs working properly.
hello
What firmware you flas first time? ???4.4.2???

I really hope someone here can help me. I'm running an SGH-1337M (Rogers). I rooted the device a number of months ago with Motochopper and installed Foxhound ROM GT-i9505 (which every guide says works with the SGH-1337M). I've been running this rom for quite a while without issues. Yesterday I I installed Cyanogenmod (cm-10.2-20131102-SNAPSHOT-M1-jfltecan) which worked, until I rebooted the device. When I reboot the phone gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 boot logo. I've booted into TWRP and tried to reinstall the Foxhound rom which was working but end up with the same results. I've used Kies Firmware upgrade to try and set everything back to default without sucess. Using Odin I tried to reinstall a factory image of my phone, which is sucessfull except nothing changes.
Currently, if using TWRP I do a full wipe of my phone and then install Cyanogenmod it'll work, so long as I don't reboot. If I reboot I need to do a full wipe, reinstall the rom and start all over.
I'm at a complete loss here. I've spent the last 5 hours looking for a solution to this problem without success. Any help is greatly appriciated.
Thanks

After you did odin, you must do a factory reset. This should clear up the problem. And, are you using the correct kernel for cyan?
Hi,
I was messaging a friend on my phone when all of a sudden it shuts down. Now when it reloads after the samsung logo I box pops up saying Unfortunately, System UI has stopped. I flashed lollipop over a week ago and everything was going great until now... Any ideas anyone? I tried to flash again but MMC_write fail at start. so no go. Odin sees it. TWRP is available but I cant restore since my restore point has disappeared. I cant mount anything besides system and micro sd. Cant get int Adb sideload either.
Thank you in advance for any help anyone can offer or lead me to an answer.

It fails due to the fact that it cant mount data, cache, or internal storage. Any other ideas? Man I wish it was that simple though would have been free from the stress last few days.
Thanks,
I got the same problem when i flashed cf root for kitkat on my SM-N9005 5.0 lollipop, i simply reflashed the stock rom via odin and problem solved

I was thinking the same, however everytime I try to flash something with odin it fails. On the screen it says MMC: MMC_write fail not sure how to get around this part. Sent to samsung tech guy and he said he couldn't either. any other ideas?
Is it ok on xda to bump a thread? if not my bad. Still desperately looking for an answer on this topic.
Anyone with ideas? It's been since feb and still sitting in the corner looking all sad.... IF all else fails is there a way to brick the phone completely so that Samsung will honor my warranty? Microwave? Oven? Something?!!?
Can anyone direct me on this? I used ODIN to flash the new lollipop update 5.0.2 on my friend's A5. Odin went successfully, but when the phone reboot, it got to the ANDROID UPGRADING SCREEN... Optimizing Apps ##/197 ... and goes for a while and gets stuck and reboots and comes back to the same spot and reboots.
What could be wrong? I have wiped factory reset and wiped cache. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance!

Your steps seem to be correct. Maybe the firmware that you downloaded may have got corrupted. Try downloading it again and check if it is for your variant.

[My phone is already repaired by Samsung under warranty, my internal storage was broken so they replaced the motherboard. There is no need to reply to this thread anymore. Thanks anyway]
Hello everyone, I need help!!!!
Today my Samsung GS6 Edge+ died. (At least, that's what I think)
I own my G928F for 1,5 years now. I rooted it two weeks after that. Several weeks ago I flashed a new ROM called N-Lite Nougat v4.1 which has worked smoothly and without any problems since I've flashed it.
However, today, the 26th of June, my phone turned off all of a sudden while scrolling through Facebook. I haven't flashed, installed nor done, anything that would affect my phone in such a way that it would crash this way. I tried force rebooting with the 3 buttons pressed (Home, Vol+, On/Off) several times. My phone just boots into the ROM and then freezes instantly. Again tried force rebooting for like 5 times, NO luck. Then I tried booting into recovery mode (TWRP 3.1.0.0), cleared Dalvik and cache, factory reset, rebooted, still no luck. Tried several other custom ROM's, still NO luck. Also tried flashing stock Samsung Firmware using ODIN, no luck whatsoever.
I couldn't find any similar problems in the ROM thread, nor anywhere else on the internet. Besides that, I'm starting to think this problem is a defect to the hardware, not the software.
Does anyone know what would be the best thing to do in my situation? Or perhaps anyone who might know what the problem might be and have a possible solution?
Thanks in Advance.
Recovery mode (TWRP 3.1.0.0) is accessible though, but that's all. While trying to install another ROM it just reboots randomly, during flashing progress.
When you say you tried flashing stock rom with ODIN, does it fail or does it succeed but freezes up when you are back in android OS?

It succeeds. But when it's done it just keeps going in a bootloop. It doesn't even boot into Android now. I've used the right settings in Odin. Even tried several different versions of Odin. No success

Out of curiosity, when you flashed the stock Rom was it 6.0.1 or 7.0?
Does it just get stuck on the S6 EDGE + screen for a while? If so you might be to impatient as first boot on almost all roms both custom or stock take a while to boot up. If it shows the Samsung splash screen over and over then yes it's bootlooping.
I can't think of any other reason for it bootlooping, especially if you have flashed a stock Rom, unless maybe you flashed 7.0 rom and still have a 6.0.1 bootloader. But I think that just causes loss of baseband, not a bootloop.
I would suggest another kernel, but that is normally included in the stock rom.
Do you download them from sammobile or another site? If it's another site, is it a reliable site?

It was Android 7.0. I downloaded it from Sammobile. I've waited 40 minutes for it to boot up after successful Odin flash. But it just kept doing the same thing. The bootloader that was installed was a 7.0 bootloader. First i get the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + screen then the Samsung boot animation and it repeats for hours untill battery runs out haha

The last thing I can think of was did you get the right rom for your phone? 928F or 928T etc.
Other than that it might be a trip to the repair centre I'm afraid.

Try to do a factory reset in the stock recovery. It might help.

Yeah i got the right rom for my phone. I've already sent it to a certified Samsung repair centre, it's still under warranty. Thanks for the help anyway
Hi all, I have been at it with this phone for the last 3 days.
Boot looping. I have tried reflashing with what I believe is the stock rom from sammobile.
Is there a way to check the exact rom i need? No matter what rom I have flashed i cannot get it to turn on fully. Even after a successful flash it reboots in recovery mode and then the android alien comes on and eventually freezes and I have to battery pull.
I have tried factory wiping after flash, cache.
Even tried the Pit method.
Dead end now. Maybe its just that I dnt have the right rom i dont know. I got the latest 6.01 from sam mobile uk EVR rom.
Any help would be great. :crying:
