Hi guys! So I am facing a situation with my S5,it started only a few weeks ago. The problem is my S5 sometimes goes on a reboot rampage, first it would get stuck on some app, then it would vibrate once and then restart again with two vibrations. After that it would get stuck on home screen and keeps rebooting it self in the same manner. And after some time of repeating this process, it would start working properly.
Now I believe it to be related to either a motherboard or a battery problem.
So can you guys tell some way to check my motherboard without opening my device?

Hi Everyone,
I bought a S4 online and hoping to get it fixed. Here's the problem:
When I turn the phone ON, the phone boots up and vibrates and Samsung S4 logo appears.
As soon as the logo appears, the phone suddenly turns off and the screen goes black.
I cannot to go recovery mode.
Could this be a hardware or software issue?
Any guidance will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
It could be both. It could even be a battery problem.
Try flashing the firmware again using Odin. If you can boot the phone in download mode. If flashing firmware doesn't do it, then it might be hardware related.
Exactly this happened to me. I was using my phone and it suddenly died, every time I tried to turn it back on it would get to the Galaxy S5 splash screen and turn off again. It did the same trying to get to recovery. If I tried download mode it would flash up quickly then turn off.
Turns out my power button was faulty.
My fix......I took my phone and pressed power button over and over again for about 1 minute as fast as I could
It's worked perfectly ever since.
Worth a try, what have you got to lose!?

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?
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.
Hi, im having an issue with my Galaxy S4 I9505.
I was having random reboot issues where the phone would boot up and then turn back off.I decided to try flashing the stock ROM via Odin. I tried flashing the stock ROM many times, still no luck . So i then tried flashing a custom Touchwiz ROM (THOR) via TWRP and it worked . It booted up normally and came up to the setup screen. After about 5 minutes of using it, the screen went off and carried on rebooting. I've tried many different ROMs and now the phone won't boot up at all (bootloop) .
Please reply as i've been trying to fix this problem for about 3 days now.
Your help will greatly be appreciated.
By bootloop you mean it constantly reboots or it gets stuck at the boot animation?
If it constantly reboots, it may be a problem with the power button circuit of the button itself.

Well, I'd say it's definitely a hardware issue. Could be your power button, which is an easy fix. But anything else might require a whole motherboard replacement.
Yes i was thinking of buying a new mootherboard

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...
