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....?!
So, I wanted to get some ideas here before I install the required things to try and sideload the stockrom, but here is the situation..
The wifes S5 on Wind mobile (yea, freedom..) started randomly rebooting a few weeks ago, and up to a couple days ago, become more frequent. I went ahead and booted into twrp and did a factory reset. The phone is completely stock, except for twrp. We do have a nandroid backup on the sd card.
Anyway, the reset seemed to have fixed the issue at first, but shortly the reboots started again, became more frequent as time went on, up until today; wife comes home with the phone stuck in a bootloop. Won't go past the Samsung Galaxy boot screen.
I was going to re-flash the stock rom I got off sammobile or whatever, but the phone wont boot into recovery now. TWRP blue backdrop shows, then phone reboots 5 seconds or so later, and bootloops.
I'm out of ideas. I'll try and do an ADB sideload.. or, Odin, maybe. Luckily the phone is able to get into Download mode.
Could this be hardware related? I have a feeling there's some sort of damage due to her dropping the phone quite often. Never cracked a screen though. Amazing.
Hello,
My stock Verizon S7 Edge has been stuck in boot loop and won't load all the way to the OS. I even flashed it via Odin and it is still looping. What do you think is wrong with it? Thanks for your help.
Condition of the phone is great except one day it was in a bag in direct sun and got very hot. 2 days later I started having problems. Always had stock ROM.
More detailed version of events:
June: in hot weather, the phone would randomly turn off and show 0% battery. This happened just a handful of times then it was OK.
August: 2 days after getting quite hot in my bag that I left in the sun, it randomly rebooted and got in a boot loop. I tried troubleshooting guides and eventually had to do a factory reset. This fixed the problem for 5 days, but then it started boot looping and wouldn't load to the OS. Factory reset didn't work.
Today: finally got around to installing stock Verizon Oreo ROM via Odin. Started setting up the phone but now it is boot looping again.
Hello,
I'm currently experiencing a bootloop on my phone, it gets to the resurrection remix logo screen during boot then restarts. I've tried booting into recovery and download mode. When I try to boot into recovery it loads the factory reset screen as usual but when I say yes to the reset in order to launch TWRP it just goes to the LG logo, then remix and restarts all over. I got into download mode one time since this started but since then I've made countless attempts to boot into it again and can't.
What I was doing right before this happened is, I recently completely wiped my phone, flashed stock firmware, wiped, then installed resurrection remix. Everything was going perfect, it started no problem, I went through and cleaned up some apps I didn't want etc normal setup steps then I used the power menu to boot into recovery instead of just using the hardware keys and the bootloop started.
Besides the not booting, the other major issue here is that it never stays connected to the pc via adb long enough to do any actions or flash a single file. By the time the pc sees it and adb sees it, I have roughly 2 seconds before it restarts again.
I really really really need any help I can get please ASAP as this is my mom's phone and she needs it for work in 4 hours. This issue started about four hours ago and I've been trying to fix it ever since. I feel like I have looked everywhere on here and through google but probably missed the solution. Before you ask, I'm 28 not a teenager and work in IT as a career for the last 12 years so don't get the wrong impression. She asked me to work on it because I had set it up a few months back with a lollipop version of resurrection remix and magisk, but in the last month or so she was having really poor performance and issues with settings crashing and a few other apps.
I hope you don't need any more info from me, if you do however I'll be here trying to fix it until she goes to work at least. I really could use the help and would greatly appreciate it.
Thank You
Every time I go into download mode my phone boots itself after a couple of seconds. This started to happen after I downgraded my phone from marshmallow. I was following a youtube video (How to root Verizon Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V) by LightningForce), but I didn't understand what I was doing since I'm very new to this. I got stuck at 9:14. My phone got stuck on the Verizon screen, and I did a factory reset. After that, I saw my phone was downgraded, and it asked me if I wanted to upgrade, which I did eventually because I kept coming across difficulties and gave up.
So now my phone is back to where it was before I started everything (I'm not 100% if it actually is though), but when I go to download mode my phone boots itself after a couple of seconds while I'm there. The only time I was successful staying in download mode was when I left my phone alone overnight and tried in the morning.
Does anybody know how I could fix it?
