Very strange booting problem with my samsung galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I hope someone can solve this problem for me. On a day i wanted to check my phone and I saw only the logoscreen of samsung. My first reaction was to pull the battery out and put it back in. So I restarted my phone but it was not going further dan the logoscreen of samsung and always kept restarting automatically. The very strange thing is when I remove the battery for more than 15 minutes and than put the battery again in the phone and push on the power button it starts with no problems. When the phone is completely started and I restart the phone manually the problem comes back again and the screen is not going further than the logoscreen of samsung and keeps restarting all the time automatically. The phone is 2,5 years old and I used it daily
What I already tried to solve the problem:
- Reset factory settings and wipe cache partition with the "power, volume up and home button"
- Installed firmware from sammobile with odin (firmware completed but still automatically restarting at logoscreen)
- Blew the powerbutton with air
- Rooted the phone with Kingo Root
I hope someone can help me? Dont know what I can do more

Root the phone properly instead of using kingoroot

The problem with rooting is that it sometimes has to restart the phone and then I have to problem again that it is not going further than the logoscreen. How do you root? Do you have a guide?

[Q] Sudden shutdown, phone won't boot.

I had just finished flashing and configuring crash rom v19, when my phone suddenly powered off.
Now it's not the first time I flash a new rom to my note 3 by any means, but this is a first.
Now my phone won't power on if not plugged in, and even then it powers on for less than a second, long enough to see the battery charging picture or the note 3 logo.
Recovery won't boot, but download mode works flawlessly, I pulled out odin3 with the stock ROM for my sm-n9005, checked the regin was right and everything, and after flashing using odin all I got was my phone rebooting over and over again trying to access recovery, then it booted no problem to the samsung logo, played the tune and even showed me my lockscreen for a second, and it's back to rebooting itself every 3 seconds.
Anybody have any idea what I'm facing here?
Edit: First thing tomorrow morning I'm going to take it to a store to try a new battery
@E-Chan42.
You can try this out.
I am not sure will this fix your problem.
First, charge your phone for 3 hours. Second, hard reset your phone then flash Stock firmware using ODIN.

I've had my phone plugged in for a short while, but since it keeps vibrating, showing an empty battery picture turning off, vibrating and so on every second I'm not sure charging will actually difference to my issue, still thanks for the input and I'll give it a try.
Ohm....
Then I guess it must be a Battery issue.
Give it a shot. Let's see if that works.
Took it in to my retailer and samsung guy restored the original ROM with Odin just as I did, when it didn't work he sent it off under garantee, thanks for your help! I'll update when I get a word back!

Sm-g900f (uk) galaxy s5 - arrgghhhhh

Can anyone PLEASE help??
My partner opted to do a suggested update on her S5, but didn't notice the wifi was off. The phone seemed to have done the update, but shortly after it rebooted itself, then again, then again. The frequency of reboot got quicker and quicker and now it loops between the Galaxy S5 splash screen and the SAMSUNG logo, but doesn't go any further.
I managed to boot the phone into reset mode, cleared the cache and then did a factory reset, but that did nothing to prevent the boot loop.
I then downloaded Odin (ver 10.3.7) and what I believed to be the correct firmware (G900FXXS1CPLV_G900FVFR1CPJ1_G900FXXU1CPIW_HOME.tar.md5).
Having checked the battery was charged, I followed the instructions of connecting the phone via USB, loading the md5 in the AP, checking Auto Reboot and F-Set time in the options and clicking the Odin Start button. I had removed the battery, replaced it and then booted it into the update mode (Power, Home, Volume Down, then volume up) with the screen confirming I was in the right place (....do not unplug.... etc).
The file loaded, (green bar at top of the Odin window on my PC) and Odin reported success. I then disconnected the phone, booted in recovery mode, reset the cache and then did a clear data, factory reset.
The same symptoms prevail, STUCK IN BOOT LOOP!!!!
The only thing different is that if I plug it into the USB on my PC, after a while the phone tries to turn itself on and goes into either a boot loop or freezes on the Galaxy S5 Splash screen or the SAMSUNG Logo.
I am charging another battery (just in case that is in some way to blame) and will try again to replace the firmware, but could I be missing something, do I need to do anything with PIT (I thought this was all taken care of by Odin using the MD5 file) or is there some other test I can perform that will show if the phone is fried???
MANY THANKS for looking!
ur going correct, try to reflash it again through odin and dont disconnect phone until it boots into system, it is taking some good time, so just wait and dont do anything this time like clearing anything or restoring. i hope ull get success.
THANKS - but...
Thanks Rayzen, I will try the whole thing again, but I think there is something more to this than a firmware fault!
There and gone again
OK, so on the 4th attempt I got the phone to take the firmware using Odin, it reported success and the phone rebooted itself (several times) and eventually appeared to boot to a new factory reset.
I put in a SIM card and entered my email and google account details and left it charging over night. This morning when I tried to use it, the screen froze and then it rebooted itself. Hey presto, the phone is back to square one with a boot loop.
ANYONE (please) got any suggestions?
THANKS
No one??
same here, same symptoms, same feeling.
when flash gone right... i feel lucky.. but for half hour only, rebooted and angain in boot loop.
I cannot even boot in recovery. flashed TWRP. from 5 boots in recovery only 1 success.
When trying to wipe phone in TWRP - it hangs.
still trying to install some other (custom) rom. still no success.
hope never dies
same things happened here! now cant get samsung galaxy s5 to boot...............
Are you sure your using right firmware? as it took me a few versions before it booted last time this happened?
Could any please confirm what is the right firmware for samsung galaxy s5 900F
It took another 6 or 7 attempts, left it over night and was about to trash it when it booted.
I then received a 'software update available' message and tried installing it. First attempt put the phone back into boot loop so I reflashed it again using Odin.
That worked immediately the over the network software update installed and now phone is 100%
Very frustrating but I got there!
glad you fixed it! ive tried three different firmwares and still nothing.
trying this one atm
G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FEVR1AND1_G900FXXU1ANE2_HOME.tar
oh and how long do they take to boot when there are sitting at the samsung glowing screen?>
I'm in UK and used what (I had to guess) was the best firmware.
I'll let you know which version it was when I get home tonight.
BUT I had all the problems with a single version and it eventually came good.
I read somewhere that overwriting a different core (from specific providers) with generic firmware, could lead to a world of pain until it gets full replaced... not sure if that's a good description (or has any fact to it) but it seemed to be re-loading and re-loading and re........ for ages, finally cracked it.
well mines booted now!but getting constant errors about samsung push!
If it'still booted, you'very made progress!
Push issues are mentioned elsewhere and can (eventually be sorted) but if you have a booted phone you should be able to get an over the air software update installed from the service provider....?!

this morning a friend of mine gave me his s3 neo with the same problem, bootloop, and no recovery, and no download mode, I put my battery, and I pressed for 10 minutes, continuously the power button, and in the end it was switched on normally, I went into recovery, wipe and I installed the firmware, after a custom rom, and the phone is fine, but if I put back the battery of my friend, restart the bootloop, it is the battery not the power button!

Most probably motherboard issue and should be replaced if possible ,had same issue on s7edge with random reboots ,shutdown not turning on ect
Hi guys, regarding the restarting issue...have some “improvements” after deleting data in apps...phone and device maintenance....15 hours without restarting..fingers crossed
Hi guys....the restarts have become too much to the point the phone is unusable...its worse when the phone is on 4G/LTE...Sometimes the screen goes dark and the phone becomes unresponsive.
My effort to take to the Samsung centre for repair has been in vain...as I bought the phone overseas and the warranty is not honored here.
Any help will be appreciated...
