This should be normal because MarshMallow was just released so its buggy for everyone ?
exact same problems that i'm having. the phone has become unusable. i have flashed 5.01 and its working again, but now...google didn't even load my old apps. so i have a totally fresh phone,,,which is a p-is take. at least its working. i'll try 5.1.1 when i download it.
i sat and messed about for a few hours and it working mostly ive managed to get the apps updated and seems alot more stable still get the odd lag and slow load on apps but it's not usable i think my main probelm was the apps once they updated "which they where stuck on" its seems to have sorted a few of the issue's

i have tried to reset the phone 3 times aswell as a fresh install of the firmware 3 times same responce each time my phone seems to be going through stages of working fine not working fine and being unresponsive seems to be the fingerprint scanner crashing alot and also just freezing just typing on the handset
To coatsy101 :
Give it to Samsung authorized service centre. If your phone is under warranty, they will not charge you. No problem if they charge you if your phone is out of warranty. Do not flash any firmware by yourself. It will brick your phone by deleting its IMEI. Beware of this !!!. So give it to the Samsung authorized service centre in your country. Search in google and find out.
phone is totally mashed. it still freezes and lags , then reboots. works ok for a bit then,,,same thing.
i've never had this happen before. always got fixed by flashing firmware. but this is new to me...tried so many different firmware now...i just cant understand it.
might root and try a custom rom next see if that helps. (
well the closet samsung place is about 3+ hour drive so i wont be doing that. kris 3 is all ive been using to reinstall the marshmellow update and the 3 factory resets ive done ive gave up with it basicaly at work and sit for 5 to 10 minutes waiting for it to unlock somethimes ive disabled thh fingerprint scanner which has helped slightly but still u unuseble my head is battard with it
i've done numerous factory resets and tried different firmwares. it is the same, works for a few minutes then suddenly will freeze and come back after 30 seconds or so...or do a reboot. i've re-partioned nand wipe factory wipe cache wipe .
don't know what else to do. will root and run a custom rom as a last resort before smashing it and throwing it in the bin

I would recommend a factory reset and then a fresh install of the latest Marshmallow DBT (Build Date: May 3)

You have to use Odin 3.10 or 3.11
Turn On Developer Mode on your phone by going to Settings > About Device > Build Number > Tapping Build Number 7 times
Then go back to Settings, you'll see Developer Options now, click it and then check USB debugging
Switch off phone, then hold Volume Down, Home and Power at the same time, it'll ask if you wanna download OS, then press Volume Up
Unzip Marshmallow file, Run Odin on your PC, then connect phone, make sure it registers with Odin, it'll say "Added" means registered
Select the Unzipped Marshmallow file by checking AP and then pressing AP, don't touch anything else, wait for the selected file to be checked, the START at the bottom will be grayed out, but within seconds it will come back again, now press START
This will flash your phone with the selected Marshmallow file, wait until, ODIN says PASS with Green, now you can disconnect, phone will restart automatically.
DON'T PRESS ANY BUTTONS apart from AP and START when flashing

I downloaded the kies version of the firmware of the froyo update and updated the firmware using odin.
After i installed froyo, i wanted to root to apply swype patch and everthing went ok but when i restarted, the phone was stuck on the i5801 loading screen for about an hour
so i flashed the firmware again.
Odin saves the data onto phone and restarts the phone and the phone opens recovery mode but now it gets stuck on a screen saying "delete app data"... "delete files please wait" and it has been stuck there for about 3 hours now and even when i try and open recovery mode, it opens but then this screen comes up
i tried flashing multiple times but nothing works, cant even factory reset now
Please help me out..
note:odin for a change shows a disabled reset time box.. it is faded out)
add http and enter "dl.dropbox.com/u/26157339/compressed.jpg"
here is a screenshot of the screen at which my phone has been stuck for about 3 hours
Also suggest if i should go to the service center coz the phone is under warranty, i really doubt theyd do it for free considering its rooted but i dont mind paying up.
And let me know if there is anyway the service center ppl will know i rooted/flashed
Try taking out the battery and then putting it back, and press the 2 volume buttons+home+power until the phone boots up in recovery mode... Try wipping the memory from there
that is the entire problem, as soon as it goes into recovery mode it starts off like shown in the screenshot
therefore it is not displaying the menu (which has options to factory reset/clear cache) instead its jumping directly to the update sequence but then getting stuck at deleting apps
Try flashing a different firmware, such as an eclair rom. Note that your phone is 5801, so look for those firmwares.

k ill try flashing an eclair rom. I did flash firmware specific to my version it self..
But the problem is that even after the flashing is done, the recovery window has to open where the update begins and thats when the "deleting apps" screen kicks in and doesnt progress
never the less ill try flashing another rom/firmware and see
Hmm, that is weird. Did you flash the bootloader?
tried flsahing a eclair firmware but no luck..
odin runs for a couple of mins, and says pass but still the phone is stuck on the delecting apps screen..'
For some odd reason, my recovery mode is hell bent on deleting some apps but is not able to and is getting stuck and therefore i cant reset/ clear cache..
Do u ppl think this could be coz of the root??
Please suggest something, i dont want to know my phone is bricked for ever considering its not even been a year since i bought it
a second flashing of eclair did it thanks man!!!
it usually works if you flash the very first rom that worked the last time you got problems.
did you flash with your sdcard in your phone?
anyways im just glad you fixed it

Hi There thismorning I flashed my i5800 that I purchased from Carphone Warehouse with the I5800XWJPF 2.2 firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063940 using ODIN.
The first time I tried it all seemed to be successful, and I then proceeded to root it with SuperOneClick and began restoring my phone using titanium. Then halfway through it crashed, and with no input from me my phone rebooted. It then got stuck on the I5800 boot screen. I finally managed to get it to work be re-flashing the JPF firmware. I Then factory reset the phone (forgot to last time). Now I have finally managed to restore to my phone to how it was.. ish.
When I reboot the phone it take forever to run the Media Scanner and no widgets other that the Google search load up. Also icons are missing. Aswell as thos issues the phone runs slower than it did, and crashes often. I have fired up angry birds and it was just a juttering mess. Based on all this I decided to revert back to 2.1.. and oh oh.. can't find my firmware.
My initial firmwares were:
PDA: I5800XXJG7
Phone: I5800XXJG3
CSC:I5800XXJG5
It was rooted using z4 root and had live wallpapers enabled.
Help!

Okay, it seems to have now settled down after several reboots, but it seems to loose around 30% of the home screen icons upon reboot. Is this normal? And does it happen on the JPM firmware that was suggested above?

No it is not normal. Do a factory reset, flash any 2.1 rom from www.samfirmware.com and then JPM.

I've got XWJPF and no problems. It runs very smooth. Something else is wrong.
Try flashing it to the earliest stock version of 2.1 that works, do a factory reset, then using Samsung kies, update it to the latest version available on there. Then try and reflash your choice of 2.2 rom. I had similar trouble with mine when I first started. I would recommend flashing CWM recovery as well, the samsung recovery is crap. XXJPQ seems to be available now and is getting some good reviews, fast and stable like JPF, but more up to date. Also try using SuperOneClick to root, has the best results to my knowledge. Some roms take a while to load all the app icons on boot, depending on the amount of apps you have it can sometimes take a little bit. I've found letting the phone go idle for a minute can get rid of the loadup lag. The ram gets topped out easily on the G3 if you have lots of apps that load at startup, which will severely slow the phone down.
Hope this helps!
More Problems
Okay, Now after a few restarts and crossing my fingers the icon thing has started to work, aswell as everything else clearing up. But now the app sizes are very small according to application manager, (angry birds - 2.2mb) and many third party apps reading 0bytes. Another thing is that Bluetooth refuses to work. It vibrates once when enabled, then another 3 times in quick succession and then the force close dialog appears. After clicking force close the box disappears and the phone responds again. I then manage to pai with a device but when I went to send a file, the dialog box and the vibrates appeared again and it refused to send. Any ways to fix?

Factory reset->reflash->factory reset.
Keep back ups!
All that you say is abnormal.
About your disappearing icons:
Are you using the (stock) TouchWiz launcher? If so, that has a (known) bug on 2.2 that all links to apps which were moved to sd card disappear if you unmount the card (which includes reboot). Are the apps that disappear on the sd card?
Reflash
Okay, to start with I will try the factory reset, flash, factory reset that was suggested. And by the way the disappearing apps were not on the sd card... Strange.. If this failds i will do as suggested by flashing to the earliest version, the update via Kies. I was trying to avoid this because of internet allowance..
Thanks for all the replies by the way

I'm halfway through restoring my settings via Titanium, and I keep getting the single vibrate, roughly 10 second delay, than a very fast triple vibrate, exactly the same as it did just before bluetooth crashed... Is something else wrong?
Okay, I've restored rooted and reflashed it and... ... still the same..
Titanium
Is it possible that this is caused by me restoring my phone settings from 2.1 to 2.2 through titanium?

I have just sent a bluetooth file! After another flash and wipe.. but havent restored or rooted. Don't think I will bother really. I now have a working phone! Thank you!
You must restore only apps. Restoring system configurations and apps data will cause problems. If I'm wrong correct me.

That'll be what I was doing wrong with the Bluetooth thing
Not sure if I'm the only one, and if I am that really sucks, but I got tired of waiting for the OTA and decided to install the update via the fastboot method, unlocked my bootloader installed without a problem.
However the issue now seems to stem from transferring media files to my tablet, which I never had a problem doing, a pop up window will tell me that android.media.storage has stopped, giving me an option to report and to simply tap okay.
Not sure reporting ever does anything, and if it does I've never seen it change a single thing at all, but after I tap okay or send the report, any files transferring will just exit out, then if I unplug my usb and plug it back in, it doesn't seem to recognize the tablet at all.
I've so far remedied this, not sure if it's a permanent fix or temporary, by going into settings>apps>all, then from there tapping the app, clearing data and cache, restarting my tablet with a hard reset and it seems to be working for the moment.
However transferring files since the update are sluggish at best, and taking a 356MB folder of images used to take maybe a few minutes, 5 or 7 at the most, now it's hanging there at times with the transfer time increasing.
As a matter of fact I'm transferring said 356MB folder right now and it's stuck at 10 minutes to finish and hasn't moved for about 10 minutes.
If anybody else is having these problems, can you suggest ways you've fixed it? Or do I simply need to either do a factory reset or straight up flash it again to fix the problem?
Also, I made another article detailing my problems with updating, which I've since fixed obviously, but Recovery Mode isn't anywhere to be found, I do the regular method and before it showed the android with the red triangle and below him it would say no command, now it just shows the android with the same triangle with no wording underneath at all.
I've also re-downloaded the official factory image 4.4 from google's developer site and tried to manually flash recovery onto it, and it says that it succeeded but then when it goes back to fastboot and I choose recovery it loads then shows me the android with the red triangle.
I've even tried downgrading back to 4.3 but it tells me during the rewrite of the bootloader that there's a signature mismatch.
In addition, this should be the last revision to my issue, I've even tried re-flashing 4.4 and now that's kicking back an error saying there's a signature mismatch, so I can't go into recovery, I can't downgrade, I can't flash a recovery image to my tablet, I think I screwed up in ever updating to 4.4.
Im having the same problem with Media Storage when transferring pictures via Android File Transfer on Mac, tried it on Windows also, same problem.
It happens with my Nexus 4 on KitKat also!!
I still havent found a way to fix it, did you (OP) ever find a fix?

Nope no fix yet, I haven't tried transferring a large number of files since, oddly enough, I finally did get the OTA update and it installed 4.4 again.
It didn't take long and the file size was puny, only about 32MB, I assume it installed what was missing, but I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary since the official updated kicked in.
Yeah I have the latest OTA also, but I am still having the same issue!!

Not really sure why it's different for you, like I said I got tired of waiting for the OTA and manually flashed the factory image, that's when the problems started, but after a few days I got a notification that the new update was ready which really confused me.
But I installed the downloaded update without a hitch, booted like normal and I just finished transferring a 100MB folder of images to my N7 without an error popping up on my tablet saying something crashed, so I can only assume for the moment until I transfer a larger folder, that the DL'd update fixed the problem.
I've also heard people flashing it again, or side loading it, or even a factory reset would fix the problem, but there weren't many replies as to this actually fixing the data transfer problem.
Problem with downloading ota update kitkat 4.4

Take anything I say with a grain of salt as I'm not the greatest guy to ask for help, I only really ask questions here and I'm just going to suggest what to do, if you do it is up to you and I take no responsibility for your device having further issues.
1. Hard reset your device and upon it rebooting, check for the update again and try downloading it again
2. If that doesn't work then back up your data
3. After backing up your data do a factory reset on your device and once you've booted back up to Android, check for the update again and install
4. If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what else to suggest, this is what I would do to try and fix the problem, but for my situation it was unique in that I tried fixing it various ways that seemed to make it worse before it got somehow better.
I hope issuing a factory reset works for you, if not then that hard reset does when you try to redownload the update.

I really think you should try resetting it to factory default and try downloading the apps again. If its sluggish at times, there must be something you have installed on the phone. Is it rooted?
What ROM are you running? Stock Kernel? As the previous poster suggested, FACTORY RESET and see what happens.
Yes, you'll loose everything on the phone, but it's a small price to pay.....

Since its completely stock, yes you have to reset it. Factory Reset but not from the settings. I have been in the same situation before and I tried resetting it from the Recovery Mode which eventually helped.
Backup all your contacts, media files from your devices storage, S Notes (if not backed up by your Samsung account and other important files from the storage. If using a SD card in the phone, do backup ur media and just format it from your PC. Then reinsert it in the phone, turn the phone on using Recovery Mode (Vol Up + Home Btn + Power Btn) and Clear/erase the cache and then reset it. Turn the phone on if it doesnt automatically, set it up according to yourself and voila it would eventually work. Format ur SD Card using ur phone now and move all your data back in.
the problem I see is that there must be something unwanted and it installed on the device which causes various issues just like a virus. I hope this will help you out. I have done it on S4, S3 , Note 2 and Galaxy Grand and it did help me and my friends out. The same problem was there to deal with. Try it! Let us know if it worked.
Hi everyone
I own a galaxy note 4 n910g running 5.0.1 rooted and have installed TWRP
I have pretty much learned about rooting and everything i know from youtube and various other how to do posts
I have been facing a peculiar problem
I had over heating issues and i found that indexservice was the culprit and disabled it...did not have the issue again
I had emmc read failed error again and again - i disabled the facebook app - i did not receive the error again - i do not know how to explain that, but i feel that is an observation that i made
So now the real issue
I am unable to go into recovery mode.
If i restart the mobile the mobile behaves as if it is hard bricked- Literally no response at all
I keep pressing all the hard keys in different combinations, but nothing seems to work at all
Now Here is the interesting fact
I remove the battery for bout six hours and try restarting it - it works
But if i switch off my mobile or try to go into recovery mode - my phone just becomes a brick for about 8- 12 hours
and i have to go through the tedious process of waiting
i m really stuck here -
i am unable to go into recovery mode to flash my rom

Hi everyone
I own a galaxy note 4 n910g running 5.0.1 rooted and have installed TWRP
I have pretty much learned about rooting and everything i know from youtube and various other how to do posts
I have been facing a peculiar problem
I had over heating issues and i found that indexservice was the culprit and disabled it...did not have the issue again
I had emmc read failed error again and again - i disabled the facebook app - i did not receive the error again - i do not know how to explain that, but i feel that is an observation that i made
So now the real issue
I am unable to go into recovery mode.
If i restart the mobile the mobile behaves as if it is hard bricked- Literally no response at all
I keep pressing all the hard keys in different combinations, but nothing seems to work at all
Now Here is the interesting fact
I remove the battery for bout six hours and try restarting it - it works
But if i switch off my mobile or try to go into recovery mode - my phone just becomes a brick for about 8- 12 hours
and i have to go through the tedious process of waiting
i m really stuck here -
i am unable to go into recovery mode to flash my rom

I have an exactly same problem with my SM-N910G..
And the fact is System partition detected, recovery partition detected, boot partition detected, but All about Data or Internal Storage were UNDETECTED...
Really, both of us need some help.. :crying:
Entering Recovery mode bricks phone for 8 hours? Feeling sorry for you guys. But i don't understand why phone needs 6 hours after battery is removed to come back to sense and work? Anyway, have you tried accessing the download mode, If yes just download a stock rom and flash it with odin.

Okay, i'll try that STOCK..
Have you any suggestion whether i should "repartition" it or not??
As my internal storage and data partition weren't detected (unreadable)

Hi harishjkhv,
If you are able to reboot after 6 hours by removing the battery, then try to reboot into download mode by using any super user app.
Then try to flash the stock firmware using Odin.

I've try flashing stock MM ROM from samfirmware with repartition checked..
But before i do that, i set my phone off while battery pulled out of the phone and charged separately using universal dock charger for 3 days..
My phone successfully boot and even i use for daily gaming like before, but the problem still remains..
Sometimes my phone got freeze (ended up with SOD), and when i pulled the battery off and on again, i failed to turn my phone on..
It have to wait for at least an hour without a battery..
And sometimes it says "ddi : mmc read failed" , no boot..
EDIT : oh yeah i forgot one thing, someone on the other forum encountering the same problem and suspect the power IC or mmc itself as the culprit..
And i myself think maybe because of overheating (on me is for games) those component became improperly attached to the curcuit board,and as the result is this hardbrick issues.. Will try some experiment..
I'll post here the result..
Its a software issue. I had the exact same issue with my T-Mobile version SM-N910T. I was able to resolve it by using ODIN to install the stock EPE3 along with the modem of COD6. After the phone restarted I placed the phone in download mode again and from there went on ODIN to install the EPE3 modem. After the phone restarts it should boot straight to the home screen.
Thanks guys. ..
Tried a lot of things
Nothing seemed to work...
I gave my phone to the service centre and they replaced my mother board
Cost me a lot. ..but still note 4 is worth it
Thank you guys for taking the time to help me and for your inputs

Do by a lot experiments, I've got some result that the Chips is already in the verge of death..
So replacing motherboard is the only solution for now, if someone having a same problem..
But, I hope no one encountering this problem anymore..
