Hi everyone, I have this weird problem with my S6500, or rather my younger brother has.
He tried to put on his S6500 (not D, this phone is with NFC) Cyanogenmod 10.1, after some ups and downs, he finally got it to work, but... camera wasn't working, it was said on the cyanogenmod page to flash with the newest update, he did that, phone worked good... almost, after he was blocking his screen, he couldn't unlock it, because there was some kind of white screen stuff, weirder was the thing, that he could hear all the *clicking* sounds as he was trying to unlock. He had to restart the phone every time after he blocked the screen, so he wanted the phone to function normally and tried to put his stock ROM back again. Well the flashing went well (as Odin showed) but the phone stucked in bootloop.
The phone showed the Orange logo (he is using his original stock rom from Orange Poland, downloaded from sammymobile) and then it quickly changed to Samsung logo, after that the phone vibrates once, and after that it vibrates 3 times really fast and restarts from the Orange logo.
He tried to get into Recovery mode, but coul;dn't (the phone doesn't react to any of the combinations we found - vol+,vol-, home and power and many others), and as I forgot to mention before, after every flash (while the recovery was working) he cleared data in menu of the recovery.
We also tried the different method to boot the phone into recovery mode (put it in Download mode, which works and then instead of going further by pressing vol+ we pressed the down button and held vol+,vol- and home button, but instead of going into recovery the phone booted in weird screen with small letters RAMDUMP MODE (ARM9 mode).
We tried several times to flash new recovery with Odin, but it doesnt work, the PIT file also doesn't work, or can someone provide me with the stock s6500 PIT file as I couldn't find one, because I read in the Polish forum, that screen mentioned before only shows up if there is a SuperUser app in the phone, so we need the PIT file to flush it.
So the problem is after flashing it with numerous cwm and original stock roms we couldn't get it to boot or to get into recovery menu, or get it working.
Also the hardware is all ok, as the phone is almost brand-new ( he got it from the Orange few months ago).
So help plz?
I have the very SAME problem with my S6500D. Same as described above.
Anyone has managed to fix this problem ? I have all needed tools.

Hi
So I've had my Samsung SIII for just over 18 months, and it's all worked fine etc. I've never rooted it or anything.
But this morning it will not boot up. When I try to switch it on the start up sequence happens, but it gets stuck on the flashing Samsung splash screen. If I turn it off it just restarts and ends up back on that screen. The only way to stop it is to take the battery out.
I've tried starting it in recovery mode (power+home button+vol up), but the standing, open android just flashes and I end up with the android lay down with the red exclamation mark from there. It then loops between the two androids and the Samsung SIII start up logo screen. I have tried to press the volume buttons whilst on the red exclamation mark screen but cannot get to anywhere from it.
However, it will load the download mode (power+home button+ vol down) just fine.
I have looked all over but most people encountering anything similar have rooted their devices, which I have not.
Also, last week I lost all of my contacts which were stored on the device (I don't know why) but that might have something to do with it.
I don't particularly want to hard reset the phone and lose everything, but if it's the only solution I will do.
Thanks.
In download mode is the product number shown or a blank?
If it shows i9300 then you have a good chance of flashing either a full stock rom or a rescue firmware (see general forum) using odin. You will need to factory reset in recovery afterward, but your data is almost certainly unrecoverable.
If the product number is blank then you have partial SDS and require a new motherboard.

Do has boomboomer said above but as a last resort before flashing back to stock or a rescue firmware if you flash PhilZ recovery in download mode with odin.You then have a Aroma option in PhilZ recovery to browse and copy phone files so you may be able to recover some data pictures etc.
Please read PhilZ thread >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 << and the special features thread about Aroma file manager in post #3
Please note use as a last resort to get your data back! and read everything! Also all this is presuming you can get into PhilZ recovery after flashing..
I'm having the same problem , been looking through lots of topics. When I switch on the phone it's not booting android guy lays on his back. Download mode and Android Recovery are in my range.
I've been trying to flash stock-firmware from sammobile.com with ODIN but no effect , I mean It all went OK in Odin Operation list than fially phone reset and PASS. But this android guy is still laying on his back and making fun of me xD
Before trying to get back to stock ROM, I've had rooted phone and installed RR with 4.4.2 for S3, now I don't have a clue what shall I do next ...
Any ideas ? (the noob[me] have asked )

And my newest version of stock firmware is swimming very nice I hope This will help someone
UPDATE: I got stock firmware flashed on it, but as soon as it finished, it just stuck in the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge boot screen, and it won't even allow me to access recovery mode so I can wipe cache and whatnot. I'm running out of patience with this brick of a phone. It just goes straight to the same boot screen, not allowing me to get to the recovery mode. Are there any alternative ways to enter recovery mode, or alternative ways to wipe cache and partition? Please, any advice is welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
Try different odin version and cable before you messing with pit.

I had tried using three different versions of Odin, 3.07, 3.09, 3.106. I also used multiple cords and multiple versions of stock roms. And still, no success. It won't even stay off, every time it juices up, or is plugged in, it goes straight to the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge boot screen and stays there.
Mind you, I am not too familiar with anything outside of stock roms, some custom roms and rooting. Have not tested out much more than that. Any noob-friendly advice would be welcomed.
I had nand write start error once during downgrading my s6 from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1. I just tried odin 3.10 and it got flashed successfully. I was lucky then.

Well, I finally got one of the firmwares to work, it ran through Odin and everything just fine, but after it was done, it basically did the same thing, it stayed on the Samsung black screen, except without the red writing at the top..

Enter recovery and factory reset

I can't access recovery, the phone won't turn off, so as soon as it has any source of battery life, it just goes straight to the samsung boot screen and stays there.
Hold vol down+power button for 15-20sec. As soon as it reboot, hold vol up+power+home button to enter recovery.

I've tried that at least 50-ish times now, It just does not work, I tried it with a second or two delay, I tried it immediately after screen turns off, tried it so many times. No matter how long I hold them down for, it just stays at the boot screen. I can get to download mode just fine, but for some reason recovery seems to not be working.
is it a bootloop (it keeps restarting or it is frozen on samsung logo) ?
if bootloop you can try: plug in power corde. press and hold both volume buttons + home + power untill it shuts down. unplug power corde. press and hold home volume down and power for download mode. get another rom and flash it.
Hi i am having exactly the same problem can boot to download but not recovery, let the phone run out of battery and as soon as you plug it in again bootloop, i was running crisscross marshmallow rom ,custom kernel i have a backup but am not sure what or how to flash correctly in Odin any help would be much appreciated thanks .
Edit flashed firmware from sammobiles worked a treat .
Any updates on this?
I have this exact problem however I never attempted rooting my phone or changing anything on the firmware, I was on YouTube when my s6 edge crashed then entered boot loop, I CANNOT ACCESS recovery mode ,but I can access Odin mode. WTF everything is stock on my phone, never even heard of 'bootloop, Odin mode' before this happened .or even had to access my recovery mode on my s6. As I search the web for help I find solutions that require recovery mode, but I can access it. Apparently bootloop happens when people try to root but I never tired that. I don't even know what that is!
This just happened to my S6. Was watching YouTube then it crashed and entered a boot loop, can't access recovery, only download mode.

Flash stock firmware
Hello, yesterday while i was cycling to work my phone suddenly turned off. i tried to turn it on but it didnt so i got the battery out for a few seconds and i tried again. my phone was in bootloop after that, at work i tried to flash few different stock firmwares on it but none of them worked since i cant access Recovery mode. when i do the buttom combination to access recovery mode (WMshua) it just shows a huge amount of white lines of text and goes back into bootloop after. i also tried to flash other recoveries using ODIN but none of them seemed to change anything. im quite out of possibilities and im not sure what to do.
Thanks in advance, Caikorn.
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
I had a korean 4.4 rom on my galaxy s3, it was rooted I tried to go to recovery to try out cm 14.1, I couldnt get in trough key combo so I used application, did everything like many times before and after all installed, the phone rebooted and got stuck at cm loading screen. tried to leave battery out over night and then inserted battery and let phone turned on for a while and nothing worked, still could not get to recovery or download (none of the keys are working) so i load up odin and insert the jig, i get to download mode, try to reflash twrp, nothing i tried cwm and still nothing. I install everything back to stock and i get stuck at samsung logo (sound of the bootup silences halfway trough but led slowly fades and back on aggain )
So to cut it short, everything is working but i cant get the phone to boot and the key combo doesnt work (keys are ok and functioning properly otherwise) is there any way to get to recovery if you cant boot the phone and key combo doesnt work ?
Nope. There is no way to communicate with the device. You'll have to fix the buttons.
Beamed in by telepathy.
How do I do that ? The keys as I said are working, I have tested them before the brick. What could be the reason for the phone not going into download/recovery mode?
