Hi! All. My phone started acting wierd last week. It randomly shuts down & reboots & gets stuck at the black screen with the name & model no. I tried taking out battery & putting it back but after a few days, the problem returns. Btw my set is rooted on stock rom. Any ideas how to solve?
try booting into recovery (vol up+home+power) and factory reset

About 3-4 months ago I flashed stock ICS into my Galaxy S2 (I did not wipe the cache, which I discover today was a mistake). I noticed a few weeks later that it was a bit unstable, crashing, restarting, etc. I did not care much and just kept using it.
Today it just would not boot, so after 1 hour trying, I managed to keep it alive (using safe mode) long enough to go to setting and have a factory reset.
Then it would not boot again.
From there, I tried several times the factory reset and wipe cache (using volume up + home + power menu). It would sometimes hang on the "installing applications" until several restarts it would eventually go. Then it would hang randomly on startup "s" video, until I managed to get to the welcome screen - which freezes pretty much on the first or second screen (choosing language and date/time).
I flashed I9100GXXLPY_I9100GDBTLP3_DBT and got the same result.
The phone is not rooted, there is no clockwork and I can't even access the phone to put it into debug mode.
Anyone has any more idea of what can be done besides throwing it on the trash? :/
Hello guys.
I have an sgs2 (unrooted) and today i downloaded the JB update.
After it had installed, it rebooted the phone but now it is stuck at the boot screen at the white text "Samsung SII 19100".
I let it be that way for an hour, nothing changed so i forced it to shutdown and tried to reboot but it still gets stuck at same spot.
What should i do?
edit:
flashed with odin this frimware:

and my phone works again.
Ensure the phone is turned off, then boot into recovery by pressing and holding Vol up + home + power button. Do a factory wipe and try booting up again
Hello Everyone,
I have Noir A10 by Qmobile and since morning I am having this problem. I had installed JMP ROM v 8 and it was working super fast for atleast a month or so. When I got up in the morning, I saw the wait logo(that appears when I boot up the phone). I waited for a few minutes but phone was stuck there. I tried to restart but it didnt respond. I took out the battery and turned it back on. It did turn on but display resolution had a problem. I could not see whole the screen. For instance when I browse to Application drawer, I am unable to see some of the Icons. I reset the phone to factory settings and restarted but had the same problem with display. Then I tried to reboot into recovery but it simply resets the phone to factory settings instead.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Vol+ Vol - and power button, release power button after it vibrates but keep holding volume buttons and at last home button your phone will reboot into recovery.... and even if you flash another rom the start up logo ll remain on your phone so if you want to get rid of it you ll have to delete it from temp fold " logo.bin"
Hey,
I bought my S6 edge by pre-oredering from Vodafone in Qatar during April. I then shifted to India for university and went back to Qatar during December during vacations. During that time, when my phone was charging, it just switched off. When I started it again, the phone was stuck on the Samsung logo. I then restarted it by pressing Volume down+Power button but it kept happening. Then, I let it stay at the Samsung logo for half an hour and then restarted again. This time it started working.
But this problem would continue everytime I charge my phone. It would randomly start working sometimes when I restart but most of the times it would just get stuck. Now it's always stuck and I don't know what to do. Please help.
My LED light still flashes when the phone's stuck. And I haven't rooted my phone (just downloaded an app called root browser). I have done a factory reset and wiped the cache partition but it didn't solve the issue.
Ok, so one night I was using my phone normally (Browsing. Watching YouTube, Playing Games) like everyone else does. Then all of a sudden it shuts off, but immediately turns on again without me pressing a button. (So basically it suddenly auto restarts on its own) This occured maybe 2-4 times (all in one night) until one time, it shuts off but doesn't turn on again (basically an automatic shutdown), so I tried turning it on again (Power button), then I got shocked because all of a sudden it enters a boot loop (Screen displaying this sequence : Samsung Galaxy S4 screen, my carrier logo screen, The encrypted screen (where you have to enter your encryption password) then again the Samsung logo but this time with the colors splashing from the background, then it shuts off again.) Sometimes after the boot loop sequence, it vibrates but never turns on again, sometimes it just turns off after the sequence. And as I try and try to get away from the boot loop, the sequence became shorter. So I'm guessing it's a battery problem, BUT my battery isn't bloated or deformed. I tried clearing the cache first, again the sequence got shorter (never going up to the carrier logo screen), then I tried formatting the data, still to no avail. Now, when I turn it on, It shows the Samsung logo screen for 2 seconds and shuts down.
I tried flashing it with ODIN thru Download mode BUT (HERE'S where another problem occured) :
My phone never get pass on the system.img.ext4 dialogue and my screen just goes blank. But ODIN still recognizes my phone. And when I remove the USB cable, ODIN says FAIL.
I'm sure the cable is working. I downloaded the firmware for my carrier (Tre 3).
What could be the real problem here?
Here is the description of my device :
Samsung Galaxy GT-I9505
Bought from Italy, Tre 3 carrier
Can I download a different region/carrier for my I9505 phone?
Advanced thanks for anyone who comments and I'm very sorry for my English. Thanks!
I would install TWRP recovery, boot to it, and use it to format data, which will remove the encryption. Then I would either push a rom to the phone via recovery or try to reinstall the stock firmware with Odin. Make sure that you run Odin as admin as well. The firmware must be the same version or newer. If you still have the stock recovery and can boot to it, then I think the build number of the currently installed firmware will be visible there. You should be able to use that to Google the correct version you need.
Hey it's me. Just posting a quick reply.
Thanks for replying to my post. Yesterday I successfully flash a rom to my GT-I9505 (Version 5.0.1 Italy HUI 3G). However it still didn't boot up. At first try it booted up to the first setup screen then just randomly shuts down. Then as I try to boot it up again, It just shuts down after the first Samsung logo (with the GT-I9505 logo), I can't boot into recovery cause it shuts down. I'm sure it's not a battery issue cause when I boot into download mode, it can stay in that screen for like 10 minutes. What could be the issue? I'm planning to disassemble my S4 sooner to see if something's wrong inside. Thanks again for the reply
