Dear members
i have note 4 , that is running on 5.0.1
iMy phone had bootloop issue / restart issue , but i have downloaded wakelock app , and it was fine afterwards.
but now , when i turn Off the phone , it won't turn on easily.
I have to remove battery for 2-5 mins , then have to try to turn it on.
Then also , many times , it directly goes into download mode. then i again have to remove battery and try again and again , until it boots normal.
now i tried to flash via odin , but it says "PIT ERROR , NO PIT PARTITION"
MY PHone is running ok otherwise.
How can i get rid of this issue?
what is problem causing it not to tun onn normally? and have to remove battery for minutes?
any help guys?
Buy a new phone.
May sound harsh but the Note 4 eMMC issue is unfix-able unless you replace the motherboard with a new one. Even then its only a matter of time before it happens again, unless your lucky. (You may as well buy a new phone instead of going to the trouble of getting this fixed).
I tried flashing all the different files and firmwares on my n910g. Nothing fixes the issue.
If you need to turn your phone on, then put it in the freezer for 5 minutes with the battery removed. Sounds crazy but works.

I was checking Facebook when suddenly the phone restarted, but it got stuck at the first boot logo over and over...then i tried several steps to figure out what's going on.
*First I took the battery out, leaved the phone without it for about 5hrs, then I put it back and no luck... (The SD card was also removed.)
*Later I tried with a different battery and no luck, the phone keeps restarting over and over...
*Tried entering in Download mode and nothing works, the phone does not respond, and then it restarts...
*Tried doing a hard reset, but the phone does not respond to (vol up + home + power)
*Changed the SD card with a new one, nothing.
*The battery is not swallowed.
*The device was rooted and running Omega ROM V17 Android 4.3 (rooted it in December and had no problem).
WTH is going on?, if at least i could use download mode to fix it
(another thing that looks strange to me is that as soon as I put the battery on the phone, the device turns on intermediately and I think it's not normal because the device does nothing until the user turns it on.)
Please any help, this issue is over my head.
Thank you so much.
Download mode and recovery is available??
It can be 2 things:
- You have a faulty battery.
- You have damaged hardware.
No flash is going to help you. It's just bad luck.
Probably your power button was broken and stucked. If you still have warranty, send it to repair in samsung service center. This used to happen to my i9500 once.

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!
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.
Hello,
I suddenly started to have big problems with my Note4.
Everything went fine for about a half year (I bought the device from ebay).
Then, suddenly without reason, the phone rebooted.
Each day I got more and more reboots (it starts with freezings and then turns off), and eventually the device rebooted every 5-10 minutes.
From time to time, I got the message "kernel panic!" with "emmc read fail".
So I tried my best with google, nearly everyone said that the emmc flash is corrupted and has to be fixed by Samsung - but because my decive has knox 0x1 triggered, this is no option for me.
I already flashed the Stock Rom again with Odin, after a full wipe of everything.
This didnt change the problem.
So I've read about PIT files and repartitioning, and flashed the PIT file for my SM 910F DBT. The reboots cycles changed from every 5-10 minutes to every 30-60 minutes, sometimes everything was fine for some hours, but there still were these suddenly reboots, and everytime I had to remove the battery to got android booting up again.
I cant remove the battery so many times a day, I thought, so I searched for another solution again - thinking of something like checkdisk, to find the corrupted flash cells and maybe exclude them from use, so they couldnt crash the phone.
I found a description with android adb and "fsck" and thought that this may fix my problem - I tried and it failed, because I needed to root my phone again (maybe).
This is why i flashed twrp again. My phone booted in the new, custom recovery automatically. I wanted to put the zip file for superSU and the file for the custom Kernel (think I need that for root?) on my internal SD, so I wanted to shut down and boot normally - TWRP said "heey you dont have root, should we root your phone now? swipe for yes!" or something like that, so I did as they said.
From now on, I werent able to boot into normal android again. Neither into the recovery mode, the screen just stays black.
I can still boot into download mode - but everytime when I try to flash something with odin, odin starts and after a few minutes, he gives a red line : "flash write failure".
I'm totally upset and dont know what to do anymore. Is my note4 dead now, forever?
If you have any suggestions, please write something. I will be very thankfull, I need my phone very badly :/
Edit:
If I try to boot normalley, I got the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Keis & try again."
Kies troubleshooting says that it doesnt support my device..
Chocsy
no idea, everyone? still stuck

Update 2018: emmc chip died later.... Needing wakelock is an indication emmc is going south appearantly

Before trying anything, simply put the phone in a freezer for 1 hour, then try to put the phone in download mode.
