my phone is note3 N9002, updated to lollipop and activation locked...
after facebook messenger's update my phone got so hot and restarted,,
now whenever i boot i see "android is upgrading.. optimizing 1 app of 1..
sometime it reboots at samsung's logo and rarely it goes to android for 10 seconds or so then i see android acore error and reboots to the loop again!
i noticed that the clock froze and whatever setting i change undo itself when it reboots "if i set wifi on" when it reboots it goes back off as it was
i managed to uninstall messenger quickly but when it reboots its the very same "android is upgrading" and play store notifies me of 1 app updated successfully "messenger"
- i can go to download mode but cant install any rom/bootloader because of "emc_write_fail" because of activation lock?
- recovery mode says "custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock"
Secure fail: recovery..
-i tried the simcard i've previously locked the reactivation lock but that didnt help..
- i tried to erase /wipe the phone from Samsung's online service but it says not connected "last seen date is when it died"
any ideas? i am ok with wiping all data in phone to get it back..
i tries different roms kitkat and every official rom for it or n9005 "same processor" and failed!
any ideas? does unbrick.img fix this? i mean bypass activation lock to install rom?
if so do i need anything special other than the image and unpack it to sdcard?

I have a stock moto x play whose hardware sku is XT1564. It's on android ver 5.1.1 and system version is 23.21.25.lux_lra.en.US
I have not performed any soft mods or alterations, be it root or bl unlocking.
The only thing that I would think is different than normal is that the phone is encrypted, so it asks for password whenever it boots up.
I got a notification to update to 24.74.5.en.US a few days ago and decided to try doing it today.
It downloads the update fine and when I press on the notification for it to start the update process where it says it needs to perform a reboot to update it goes into a "phone will reboot in 10 seconds" screen and when countdown finished it shows the "shutting down..." popup that appreas when you try to shutdown the phone.
Then the phone stays with that popup until it finally shutsdown like 4 minutes later on what appears to be a hard shutdown because it doesn't reboot. I have to manually power it on and then the phone starts up normally asks me for my password and about a minute after android fully loads the phone tries to shutdown again without any input. And then it just keeps doing that until I boot the phone into fastboot and try to get it to bootloader, where it shows the dead android logo with a red yield sign and promptly shutsdown. Then when I start the phone normally it shows an "update unsuccessful" screen.
Anyone have any idea what might be the problem?
I've been thinking it might be the encryption but IDK. Also I've checked the thread with the firmware versions and couldn't find mine there. Is there a way I could dump mine for backup in case I **** something up trying to get OTA to work.(without unlocking bootloader and rooting, of course)
Now the update has stopped appearing and I can't get it to recognize there being an update for this device.
Fudge!

Hey all,
I've run into a bit of a pickle..
I replaced the screen on my S8 (SM-G950U) and after booting, it immediately gives 'System UI isn't responding' and/or 'Process system isn't responding'.
Shortly after (1-3 minutes) the phone will reboot. The errors may appear 1-2 more times before rebooting.
A bit of info:
Model: SM-G950U
OS: G950USQU4CRE9
Steps taken:
Clearing cache does nothing.
Factory reset via recovery mode has no change.
Flashing stock ROM (same version) with ODIN does nothing either.
Before restoring I was able to go in and see the RAM was reporting what I assume is normal (~30% usage)
Also the front camera was no longer working, but I've replaced that as well and haven't had the phone on for long enough to get through the initial setup to test.
Anyone have a potential solution / suggestion? Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!
Edit:
It might also be worth noting that the shutdowns only happen after booting. There's no issue when entering recovery / download mode.
Havr you tried safe mode?
I know this is an old thread but hoping to get some guidance. I am facing the exact same issue on my at&t s8+ snapdragon as mentioned above. The device is unrooted and was with stock oreo rom. suddenly started showing either "system iu isn't responding" or "process system isn't responding". Later the device started hanging and kept restarting. It restarts from samsung logo instead of the device model name unless force restarted. This cycle keeps happening. I am able to access download mode and recovery without any problem. recovery initially shows "installing update" followed by "no command" but then works normally. The device doesn't power off even from recovery, it keeps rebooting. I have tried (1) cache wipe (2) factory reset from recovery (3) safe mode (4) installed stock rom without problem (5) installed latest stock s8+ unlocked xas pie rom without problem (6) installed latest stock s8+ sprint version pie rom without problem but i am unable to even end the initial device setup as the device keeps hanging with these errors and restarts. Any ideas would be appreciated.
1 year old S8 unlocked (SM-G950U1), stock software. Was running slow today, so I rebooted, and it now crashes almost instantly after showing "galaxy s8" on the boot screen, and just sits there with a slow blinking blue light.
Hard reboot just does the same thing. It won't go into recovery mode. I CAN get into software upload, so I tried flashing stock ROM back with Odin, but that fails, and now I get the "an error has occurred while updating the device software" error. Samsung Smart Switch isn't recognizing it as a supported device.
Can't get TWRP to install because FRP lock is on (and since I can't boot the phone, I don't think I can disable this).
So, am I stuck with a fancy brick?

No twrp for this device. You are probably flashing the wrong revision firmware. You need to flash equal to or greater than what's on the device
Also that same screen of error you can flash in Odin
Hi all, maybe there is someone active here who can help me bringing my SM-G950F back to life without losing my app / user data.
Last thing I did was installing an App called 'Airwatch Intelligent Hub' in the Google Play Store. This for some reason caused a reboot and this is where trouble started.
Here's what happens:
My phone is shut down - I'm turning it on.
'Installing system update' message shows up
'No command' error message shows up
After some time, an additional error message in the stock recovery shows up -
I am selecting 'Reboot System now' - I have Secure boot enabled, entering PIN
Loading animation shows up
The phone reboots during loading animation
I have to enter the PIN for secure boot the 2nd time
Loading animation shows up
Phone seems to start - 'optimizing app m of n'
Loading animation shows up for some time
Back to the 'installing system update' screen
Error message in Android recovery
After shutting down the phone, I am able to repeat the whole process
Photo story of the boot process:
Here's what I have tried:
Cleared cache out of the recovery
Did a full power circle
Tried safe boot, but without any success
...
Downloaded the stock ROM (Andriod 9) for Austria (A1)
Flashed the stock ROM via Odin 3, but with the CSC_home to avoid a loss of user data
The process finishes successfully, but after starting the phone, the process described above starts...
Hey. First of all they app you tried is the reason of this (maybe) so you need to wipe it . Don't worry it be fine but you have to loose your data in order to use it . Open recovery somehow and then wipe data then try restart may it work if not then flash stock rom its not compulsory to flash Austria ROM i mean you can flash other versions just the file should be for sm g950f. I hope may it helps you just give it a try. Data is not going to be usable unless your phone is.
StayBlessed.?
Hi guys!
I've read tons of threads and guides on Google but nothing helped me to bring to life my Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus. After hours and hours of test and probes I surrender!
Basically I was using normally my phone and suddenly has power off and showing the Samsung Galaxy Logo continuously. I've force reboot it with vol down+pwr button and after some minutes restart normally again. After 5min again the boot loop and stuck there. Tried again to power it off but didn't work so I thought was the battery (because is 3yrs old with heavy use and months ago I had the screen flickering and a battery drain to zero). I opened the phone, unplug the battery and the power button (because I thought was the power button stucked as on my father phone). So after mounted all the stuff in their place I tried to boot it and suddenly start to work again! I've backup all my things rapidly but again power off by himself and this is the last time I see it working.
So I tried to empty the cache entering in the recovery but it was useless so the only way seems flashing the original FW with Odin. Downloaded the right one with Frija, upload the rights files in Odin (Home_csc because I don't want to lose my internal memory stuff) and the phone automatically reboots, pass the Samsung logo and go in Upgrading mode with the blue android screen and a % increasing. After that by himself power off and nothing happen.
I read some stuff about my possibilities to recover it without losing data but a lot of tutorial talk about entering in recovery but I cannot do it! Simply does not go in recovery with vol_up+bixby+pwr_button even after force shutdown it with vol_down+pwr_button or reattach the battery. The only thing I'm allowed to do is put it in Download Mode to be recognized by Odin.
I've tried to launch ADB devices but it is not visible in Download Mode.
I've tried to flash another firmware for the same model (theoretically my one is unbranded italian) but I tried with WIND one because in download mode there is a text "Carried_ID:WIND" but this FW Odin fail to upload it.
I've tried to flash the TWRP with Odin but fails on the phone with error "Custom binary(recovery) blocked by FRP Lock". I've searched how to unlock it but without have access to recovery or phone settings seems impossible. And this phone has also OEM Lock.
I've tried again to flash the FW but the only difference than before was the blue android robot with stucked text "Installing system update", "Erasing" , "yellow advice notice" and finally a green screen with "An error has occurred while updating the device software.Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software". And yes, I already tried with Smart Switch but the program does not detect the phone.
I've also tried to flash the original recovery but nothing change.
Seems that my devices is bricked or a kind of boot loop.
In my situation there is something that I can do to recover the internal memory data? I don't tried to flash the FW with CSC file because I don't want to erase all the data.
My Galaxy was original since the purchasing, no root or flashed a FW, only OTA updates.
I've attached a photo with the stuff that appear in Download mode.
