Hi
I am stuck with Pulsing blue LED and the "Powered by Android" screen,
have access to both the recovery and the Odin Mode,
I also have Odin (version 3.13) on my computer along with TWRP (3.1.1 trlte and 3.2.1 version)
My device is a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910F bought in shop, no special carrier. It was bought in Belgium.
I have tried everything that I have read. The furthest that I can go is the Second Samsung Logo with the Flashing Light
Whenever I try to Flash the stock Firmware for my N910F, everything goes well in Odin but then when the phone reboots, it (sometimes) install the system update until 30% then shows erasing then either crashes right there and then or load the system update bar, completes it then shuts down.
In between I do perform a wipe of the cache and factory reset of course. (in both normal and TWRP recovery)
Whatever I do, at some point, my phone either gets stuck in a bootloop, freezes with the LED light or shuts down.
Oh and I can transfer files directly to the internal storage with no issue
Please help a brother out lol. I have spent the last 4 days looking for a way to fix this. To no avail.
And I have also proceeded to use different batteries.
I have the exact same problem. Doesn't anyone have an idea?

In my T-Mobile Galaxy S4, I am getting weird loot loop. When I power on the device, It shows Samsung logo, and then go black. When I connect to charger, It shows "charging" for one second and go black. When I try boot into recovery menu, it shows it for a split second and go black. The Only place where I can see the display is "downloading" mode. I managed to put in downloading mode and flash stock ROM twice using Odin, and it was completed successfully, but then when I try boot device, it shows Samsung logo and go black, the whole cycle repeats.
I couldn't understand what is the problem at all. The Display looks fine in "Odin" downloading mode, and since I reflashed firmware, I am going nuts trying to understand.
Please help.
Hi,
Re-flash stock firmware should fix this (I hope it).
Sent from my GT-I9500
Try flashing stock again but don't check anything except f.reset time. After flashing and you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, use button combination to boot to recovery, and perform a factory wipe.
Btw, the T-Mobile s4 forum is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile
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....?!
Hello guys i have a strange problem. i am using my s7edge for over a year (finally was in batman rom).
After updating to marshmallow i encountered this problem where sometimes rarely my phone reboots (reboot- - show samy logo - then reboot). sometimes after few reboots it will comeback and some other time. i need to wait till it discharges fully and charge it it comes back. (but its so random though. totally happened 3 - 4 times last year)
from last week it happened quite often once a day and from yesterday it keeps rebooting in logo no matter what i do. when this happens only download mode is accessible and twrp recovery is not accessable at all. so i waited till it discharges fully but that does not help.since download mode is accessible i used Odin and flashed stock firmware, still the same result(tried several times). its just keeps rebooting in logo even after flashing with stock firmware via Odin and i have no more options to go for. is my device hard bricked? any more options i can try??? my final hope is someone here will help me.:crying::crying:
Thank you
Oh! I just posted a similar question. After several tries, I sorted out a way to make it boot:
1) With the latest samsung drivers on my notebook, I've downloaded the latest Odin (Odin3_v3.12.3) with this stock rom from sammobile (G935FXXU1DQJ4_G935FUUB1DQJ4_ARO). According to this page this rom works in Argentina and the ARO means it is used on unlocked devices. Then it has no bloatware or any company logo.
2)Charged it for a few minutes until it reached 2~3%. Vol Down + Home + Power (in that order) and entered 'Download mode'. Then plugged it into the pc.
3) Opened AP, BL, CSC and CP files, then flashed it. Once it restarts, try to get it into recovery mode with volup+home+power and charge it. I used a power bank. Then wipe cache and factory reset. Then reboot to system and let it loop until it gets into the OS.
The one I've got in quarantine is working smooth.
Hi
I am stuck with Pulsing blue LED and the "Powered by Android" screen,
have access to both the recovery and the download Mode,
I also have Odin (version 3.13) on my computer along with TWRP (3.1.1 trlte and 3.2.1 version)
My device is a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910F bought in shop, no special carrier. It was bought in the Netherlands.
I have tried everything that I have read. The furthest that I can go is the Second Samsung Logo with the Flashing Light
Whenever I try to Flash the stock Firmware for my N910F, everything goes well in Odin but then when the phone reboots, it (sometimes) install the system update until 30% then shows erasing then either crashes right there and then or load the system update bar, completes it then shuts down.
I have tried multiple firmwares, even recovery firmwares. All the same problem. I can see the firmware is flashed, because when I enter recovery mode after I flashed a different ROM, it shows the version I flashed.
I cannot seem to install TWRP because it was never rooted.
Whatever I do, at some point, my phone either gets stuck in a bootloop, freezes with the LED light or shuts down.
And I have also proceeded to use different batteries.
Do you have any options?
Thank you
Heat????
I'm far from an expert here, but I've just experienced a similar problem where my N910F started boot looping / freezing within 15s to 2 min after unlocking. Unfortunately my micro Sd (SanDisk 256GB) was corrupted a week ago, so before doing anything else I did some research (XDA/YouTube) and probably found pretty much what you've found. I frequently change batteries so I could discount that as an issue. Someone suggested using the Samsung Smart switch here https://www.samsung.com/uk/getting-started/smart-switch/, but I haven't used it (yet) so I can't tell. I presume you had the latest firmware from Sams https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note4/SM-N910F/.
My issue was that I needed to recover data, docs, photos, phone numbers etc. When boot looping the note 4 got very hot . In particular around and to the left of the camera (looking at the rear). Thinking it could possibly be the dreaded eMMC problem which also manifests itself by creating heat, I thought cooling the device might help. I placed the Note on a cooler box freezing block and voilà! No boot loop. I was able to remove all, but necessary apps and do a full copy to my PC. Storage was reduced from around 90% to 50% and memory 80% to 60%. It's now been stable for 12 hours, but the jury is still out. Next will be full reset with he latest available firmware 6.0.1 as mine was still on 5.1.1.
Good luck and hope this may be of some help.
I've got this problem, too, when using the unofficial Lineage 15.1 rom. SIM death and boot loop. After flashing the latest stock rom through odin, it passed but the screen was black and no system was installed. The blue notification light was constantly stuttering, though. And I couldn't even go to recovery!
When flashing, a 910F can get hot - use a cool temperature room and/or a fan blowing onto the device.
If it's not too late...
Hello community,
A good friend of mine asked me to support him with his "bricked" Note 4.
I tried now for a few hours (usually im experienced with stuff like that) without any success.
Downloadmode is accessable. Odin (3.09) says most of time 'pass'.
I flashed the following stock roms:
N910FXXU1DRI2_N910FOXA1DRI1_DBT_(Germany) [We are from germany] 1 File.
Odin tells me: pass, Phone reboots in recovery mode, installs a system update, processbar filled half, "earasing", reboot into recovery and display stuck on black after retry to install a system update.
I already tried to debrick - after reflash the PIT file, the Note4 stuck in the Note4 Splashscreen with a blue LED blinking but nothing more happens. [Debrick XDA Thread] (should it?)
I tried also the N910FXXU1ANK4_DBT_4Files Firmware but same behavior (black screen after system update - the phone must turned on since the power button doesnt react - I need to pull of the battery for reboot).
Any hint for me what Im doing wrong? This devices drives me crazy ...
Is the device hardware broken maybe? What do you guys think?
Thank you for reading
Best regards

Have you tried to install a custom recovery instead first?
