[Q] Need help boot loop and constatant restarting - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So here is a quick overview of a problem.
Had Cyanogen mod installed on the phone and something went wrong for no apparent reason. The phone just got stuck on the infinite loop and the recovery would not load as well. So I flashed the phone to stock firmware and that did not help (Did it with odin and kies) also tried installing clockwork mod but that did not help neither. Phone restarts and get stuck on Samsung loading screen. When I go to download mode phone also restarts after few seconds of me being in download mode(But after few restarts is stops, so that makes DL mode available) . Recovery menu is not available(Displays a broken robot with no errors on the bottom and also restarts after few seconds of me being in recovery menu). If anyone would help me out with this I would really appreciate it.

Restarting in download mode is usually a stuck power button, try giving it a wiggle before you insert the battery.
Flash a full stock rom with odin, then boot straight into recovery and factory reset. Look for any error messages in recovery.

[HELP] Stuck in a boot loop...

Hi guys
I just installed the GlamourS4 ROM and it worked great. I restarted it a few times and nothing seemed to be wrong. Now I tried to boot into recovery through the power menu, but that didn't work and I'm stuck in a loop with mz S3 trying to boot into recovery but failing to do so.
I already tries to take out the battery and put it back in, but it still tries to boot into faulty recovery. By the way I'm using PhilZ Touch recovery and I can enter download mode.
You can still flash an Odin Version of a recovery with Odin Form your PC. Look for a clockworkmod tar file in the development theead, you should also find flashing instructions there.
I will try and see if it works. Thanks.

Please help me

I have tried EVERY thing literally.
my situation: -
my home button has stopped working. -
i was on neat ROM 7.0 and i flashed boeffla 2.3 ng beta 1-
it caused a boot loop/it just didn't boot up.
and because i don't have a home button i could not boot into recovery.
i have a jtag usb that boots into download mode.
usually when you flash a recovery via odin it auto reboots into recovery.
however this doesnt happen on my end
i have flashed CWM, TWRP, PHILZ and STOCK recovery however none auto reboot into recovery
i have checked a lot of forums regarding this but nothing works.
i flashed two different stock firmwares however they both boot into a boot loop
i also flashed boefflas kernel through odin but still boot loop
my phone vibrates the capacitive button lights up then stays on the Samsung logo
every 2 mins or so it repeats that process again.
i don't know if i have missed anything but please someone help me
as you can see i think i have probably tried everything.
i have checked on other threads and forums that a possible fix is to wipe data in recovery mode
however i do not have a home button so i cant use the button combination to access it

S6 Edge Stuck in bootloop - can't flash stock rom

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..

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.

TWRP recover boot looping - unable to go into recovery

Hi guys, I flashed cm-13.0-20160820-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0J2-i9300.zip and everything worked fine BUT I did a factory reset from the system itself not from the recovery and since then my phone is stuck between samsung logo and twrp logo which appears only for a second or two and then back at samsung logo....I cant enter download or recovery mode, I cant turn my phone off, every time I put battery in it, it keeps looping. But I have noticed that when i connect it to my PC it just loops in samsung logo not between twrp and samsung. Help me please ASAP :crying::crying:
Do you have a USB jig to force download mode?
I dont have USB jig, is there any other options? My phone can get to that download mode by pressing buttons and it shows only for a second screen of download mode and then it goes back at looping....
Could be a power button problem?
Well I really dont know because I had removed the button before, it didnt work correctly and now I cant know is it up to button or the software ....

Soft Bricked phone after installing xposed from apk file

My phone model is a SM-G925F and I tried installing xposed via the apk file (XposedInstaller_3.1.apk) from the thread below:
The version is 5.0.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
After I installed the apk I downloaded the file by clicking the download button in the app. After the download is finished it asked me to reboot and so i did. Afterwards, my phone got into a boot loop. At this point I managed to boot into TWRP recovery mode. Tried factoring resetting, wiping cache and dalvik and rebooted, still stuck on bootloop.
Afterwards I plugged in my phone into my computer whilst trying to find a solution online. After plugging it out i noticed that my phone was stuck on the "charging" screen which led me to press all buttons at once in an attempt to shut down my phone. What happened was that now its stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge" booting screen (not the animated Samsung one) and it wont even shut down or let me access recovery mode, only download mode. I tried force shutting down again (holding down both volume keys and power button) and all it did was give me a never ending cycle of black screens and "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge" boot screen. Right now my phone is stuck on the S6 Edge boot screen.
I'm thinking of just using ODIN and installing the firmware via download mode. Either that or I'm just gonna wait for the battery to run out and get into recovery mode that way (not sure what I'm gonna do once I'm in). If someone can give me suggestions on what to do in the situation I'd greatly appreciate it!
Download smart switch on your computer and put your phone into download mode. Flash the stock firmware from smart switch.

You have tried to flash the wrong version of xposed. The one from that thread isnt compatible you need the xposed unofficial by wanam from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960/page562
What i would suggest now is to flash stock firmware to resolve the bootloop.
Then flash twrp.
Then flash xposed from the thread above.
Flash through twrp and your good to go
