[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.

So I recently purchased my AT&T Galaxy S4 with MDL baseband. I rooted and installed TWRP via motochopper. I then loaded Kangabean 4.2.2 and everything was great. Got notification for OTA update to 4.3 and decided might as well load Kangabean 4.3 as opposed to dealing with the OTA notification. I did so (after formatting internal SD and performing factory reset) and now my phone won't boot beyond the Galaxy S4 splash screen. I restored a nandroid backup of the original software and was able to boot the phone once, but couldn't load the custom rom again, nor can i load into the stock rom anymore either. Does it sound like my phone may have a hardware failure? Would attempting to restore through odin be the next logical step? I'm by no means an expert with these sort of things but my S2 has never given me any sort of grief when flashing various roms in the past. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Try a different kernel, also, pull the battery for 5 min, it will boot.

Yeah I left the phone off with the battery removed all night - didn't want to boot this morning. I'm also noticing an oddity with TWRP - it's for some reason asking for a password on startup even though I've never set one. It also gives an error when attempting to wipe the phone or re-flash
id try odin
Don't Odin yet. If you can get into recovery see if you can flash a new recovery onto the phone. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41746967

It will not let you past the password, been there, it will only do simulated flashes.
Odin is his only option.
So I managed to flash back to stock with odin. I was then able to re-root and re-install recovery. Something is still wrong here though. I was able to load kangabean 4.3, but when i installed the SIM card (kept it out to prevent OTA updates) the phone would no longer boot. I then re-flashed with odin, re-rooted, installed sim, THEN loaded the rom and it worked.... For a while. I had the phone plugged in to my laptop as i had recently transferred some ringtones to the internal SD. I powered down the phone. It seemed to shut the OS down but it then displayed a battery symbol with a rotating circular animation, as if it was trying to show that it was charging the battery. The phone froze in this state.
Another thing that I've noticed is that when this phone freezes, it gets warm. It also tends not to respond well until i've let it cool down. I'm now having difficulty booting the phone after re-flashing with odin. It loads to the white screen with AT&T logo and hangs (and gets warm). I plan to leave the phone alone with battery removed for the day and attempt to reboot or re-flash with odin later.
I find it odd that the rom that i flashed would stop working if i've flashed the rom with the sim removed from the phone, then introduced the sim to the phone after the flash is complete. Is this normal? I'm also unsure if my phone has faulty hardware, or maybe there's some sort of software glitch that's causing it to hang and overhead (like an infinite loop caused by faulty software).
I think if / when I can get it working with the stock rom again, I'll root it and run it for a while and see what it does. I never intended to run this phone with the stock rom as I prefer vanilla android.
I'm wondering if there's something wrong with the kernel. Perhaps I should re-download the ROM and re-install it. I'm not sure but I think the kernel is responsible for charging issues. Perhaps a bad kernel WOULD explain why the phone sometimes freezes at the "battery charging" logo? I'm somewhat at a loss as to what to do. I could try exchanging it through AT&T. If so, I hope they nave another one in their stock that has the MDL baseband as I know I'd be screwed with the current one...

If you're on the stock AT&T rom and you're getting stuck on the AT&T boot logo try the following:
Power off your phone and hold down Volume Up, Center Home, and Power buttons together.
Once you see the Galaxy S4 splash - Keep holding down Volume Up and Center Home buttons but let go of Power button.
Choose the wipe datafactory reset. This will wipe your phone completely but it should boot after.
Hope that helps.
Well I've been toying around with this thing and much to my surprise, I have CM10 running stable w/o any issues booting! I think I would prefer to run Kangabean 2.05 (android 4.3) though. Assuming that the kernel could be a likely cause of the OS not booting, could someone recommend a suitable kernel for that rom? It appears to come packaged with the "KT" kernel...
Another thought i had was perhaps TWRP wasn't adding the loki feature to the roms that i was trying. I upgraded from 2.5x to 2.6. Hasn't seemed to have made a noticeable difference though.
Would the fact that CM10 runs absolutely flawlessly with no issues booting at all possibly help narrow down why the other roms that I'm flashing only load up the first time but fail at the "Galaxy S4" splash screen on subsequent reboots? Admittedly I'm a relative noob to roms and such but up until now i've been able to muddle my way through things and eventually figure them out. I'm not having the greatest luck with this one!

TWRP does not now and has never added LOKI to any ROM or Kernel. Only OUDHS CWM auto-LOKIs. You have to use A pre-LOKIed Kernel or flash the LOKI DokI script to LOKI anything with TWRP. You can do a search to find the LOKI DOKI script and how to use it.

Hi Everyone, i am getting random reboots and freezes on all rom and kernel combinations, sometimes it will happen 20 times a day, some times only a couple.
Anyone know what the problem may be?
Damaged bootloader or something?

OMG same here i get random reboots. though it hardly ever happens to me, nothing is affected and everything is fine, but its just weird. ive not tried the SystemServer Crash Fix in Wanam, though this may help. :good: when it comes to freezes it happens all the time to every device so no real explanation- at least not from me. though greenifying apps and de bloating and etc would help if this is consistant. - i my slef havent de bloated anything and only greenify apps. you could also try a factory reset.
I have tried wanam crash fix still the same problem, i guess its more than rom selection.
What do i need to flash to set everythinf back to factory factory, reflash bootloader the works.

I'd format everything in TWRP, system data cache internal, the lot.
Then power off the phone and it will warn you that there is no OS installed. Then boot to download mode with the button combo.. then flash the latest stock rom via odin
I use v3.09

Hey mate, I have a HK note, can't seem to find latest 4.4.2/4 firmware, so I tried N9005XXUFNF4_N9005OXAFNF4_BTU but failed on ext4 system etc... so i just flashed the latest N4 bootloader, flash twrp, a rom, same freezing issue.
Anyone else?

That's your problem then. You flashed incompatible software on a HK Note. HK notes are slightly different to the normal note due to software. Find the latest HK software and have a nose around the HK guides and read how to fix, it's a common problem (or it was once at least) and can be fixed, so don't panic too much

Ok cool thanks, i checked samfirmware and nudda?
I have previously softbricked my note when kk first came out and had to flash the chinese Rom / sweet from combo to bring it back, are you saying to flash that chinese rom again?
Im not sure what started the trouble as i was running xnote for a while perfectly.
I found this firmware on samsung updates "N9005ZHUENH4" flashed it, seemed to be ok for the last couple days, today I rooted the phone and boom, back to freezing and restarting.
I re-flashed BL, Modem + CSC from the HK recovery rom, but it wouldn't let me flash AP :s
I just flashed g00h s5 rom, I can't get past the inital setup steps :/
What do I need to re-flash the phone to totally factory, seems there is still something screwing it all up :/
herrrooo???
Have flashed multiple times, cannot shake this problem.
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.

Hi Everyone
So i have had my s7 edge ages now had a few roms on it such as helios rom, batman rom and superman rom never had any issues about a month ago it froze when i was using it and when it rebooted it just froze on the Samsung logo.
I messed about with it for a day or 2 and managed to get it to boot in the end by formating the data through TWRP and then i used Odin to flash the stock firmware, then i put TWRP back on and was enjoying the use of custom roms again.
Yesterday my phone froze again when i was using it and then froze when it was rebooting and i have been doing different things since to try and get it going again i have tried using Odin to flash the stock rom i have tried putting TWRP back on and flashing different custom roms i have tried formatting the data again, And now with stock firmware on it after freezing at different points during the boot process for half an hour and rebooting its just got to the start screen :/
Sound like a hardware problem

I managed to get to the home secreen and start the first stock update but its so strange the update installs it freezes on boot and reboots like 50 times and finally comes back on then does the same with the next update.
Im currently still in a boot loop after installing stock update 2 so that sucks lol
So after several days of flashing stock fimwares etc I managed to find what was meant to be the official 7.0 firmware for the g935f so I installed that with odin and it booted fine now I have put TWRP and Helios Rom back on it and it seems fine
I am so confused lol
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:
