Hey guys i need some help i am trying to fix my aunts phone it is stuck in a boot loop it is most likely from an update. it was never rooted so it has no custom rom or recovery so im not sure if i can wipe the dalvik cash. i tryed flashing the stock samsung os but its still looping so im not sure it is the problem because i downloaded the trinidad and tobago version but am not sure if the phone came with it but the os and phone are internatonal versions. any help would be appreciated thanks

Boot into stock recovery Volume up + Home+ Power then factory reset wipe cache and reboot do this after every flash as standard to stop bootloops.
i tryed everything is it possible that it is a hardware problem? should i keep trying?
As the above senior member mentioned.
You could try it.
You can also re-flash the latest stock OS. You can download it from sammobile or you can plug in your device in computer and update or re-flash the OS via KIES.

I recently got a galaxy player 5 international with froyo. I rooted it with no problems, but when I tried to flash a kernel with cwm recovery it would get stuck in a boot loop unless i went into the cwm recovery mode. I noticed that the kernel I used, rumirand's r14, was based off of GB and thought that might be my problem. I tried updating my firmware to GB using WT Ho's custom rom, and now it just hangs on the samsung logo, but I can still get into cwm. I made sure to wipe both caches and wipe data before installing the rom. Is this fixable or have I turned it into an expensive paperweight?
Did you try a factory reset?
I am not expert but i tried the same with R14 kernel and bricked but done the same with R13 and it worked .

Now or before installing the rom? I did a factory reset before installing, but I haven't done one since.

I just flashed the R13 kernel, but I'm still in the same situation.
Instead of flashing a new kernel there should be factory reset option on the first set you have or in "mounts and storage"
I had this problem once and I managed to solve it flashing a full rom (like 2.3.5 rooted and with rj kernel). It seems some users are having problems when flashing only the kernel. After you solve the problem, flash back group rom.
I just tried the rom+kernel. It said it was successful but it must not have been because it was hanging on boot again, and now it won't respond to the power button. If I plug it in to the computer it gets an image of a battery turns off and repeats.

Can you go back to CWM after flashing rom+kernel? If yes, usually it is a matter of wiping the data and Dalvik cache. Which ROM+Kernel did you flashed?

No, I'm not able to get a response from the power button.

Hi i went from the latest unlocked 4.1.2 united kingdom firmware to paranoid android 3.10.
i decided to go back to the stock 4.1.2 so i downloaded it and from sammobile and installed via odin 3 v3.07 but it is stuck on the samsung bootloop. i can hold the power, home and down which takes me into that mode but using power, home and up does nothing.
Is there any way i can get out of this boot loop and use stock firmware again?
thanks.
Can you enter recovery mode.....vol up+home+power
If you can, flash cwm recovery via odin and enter recovery mode and then factory reset

hit thanks if i deserve it

OK thanks. i wiped everything and its now back to stock rom. thanks.
Is there a reason why it got stuck in boot loop? Was it because i didnt wipe cache and the other two things first?

Sometimes happens flashing stock Roms from custom, it may be it only occurs with aosp to stock, but always wise to backup everything as stock reset will wipe sd card
Hi, i was charging my i9100 via USB. Tried to turn on the screen and the phone reboots.
Now, i am in bootloop. Can't access recovery mode. But can into download mode.
So i flashed different ROMs via ODIN and always bootloop. Tried with the last stock ROM and a branded ROM, and also flashed dorimanx kernel.
Never boots, it only changes the animation on the start, but still in bootloop.
Any ideas?
I can go into recovery mode now, but still cant boot any ROM. Help!

Go to recovery . Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache . And then flash the rom from your sd card.
Good luck :thumbup:

First do multiple cache+dalvik cache clear and reboot to see if it helps else
Do a full wipe(data+cache+dalvik cache) and then proceed to flash a rom
Gud luck mate

I have a serious problem in my rooted S3. After flashing a problematic rom, i was forced to reset nandroid backup(i had already flashed the rom which i take the backup) Restore was successful, but suddenly I had issues with network("not registered on network") After flashing the latest modems from this video everything was fixed.
However when i flash a new rom from recovery, the screen always freezes on samsung logo. The only solution is to reset each time the latest that nandroid I had. In addition today, i have not acess in recovery(philz). What you suggest me to do? Sorry for my enlgish and thanks in advance for the people who answer.

I simply suggest you to flash some custom ROM,flash some patched modem and patshed kernel and hope everything will be fine.

Things are not so simple. I cannot have access in custom recovery menu. As a result it is impossible to flash a new rom,modem,kernel or restore a nandroid backup...
Download mod is working?
Flash stock rom for your region, through odin

have you tried reinstalling the newest CWM of TWRP threw downloader mode and then trying to boot into it.
i would try that before i restore to stock, i prefer TWRP but it is more of a personal choice.

So i flash custom recovery via odin and then i unroot my device. right?
If you want to return your device to stock just grab the correct carrier OTA file for your X and flash it via Odin and you will be 100% completely stock. No root stock recovery and stock Rom
Sent from Rooted Sprint Moto X, TWRP, enhanced kernel
Ok so, after many attempts I decided to ask for help here.
Months ago my old s3 "died". My brother was using it and it rebooted itself. From then it's still locked on SAMSUNG boot animation.
I've tryed many solutions. At first I thought it was the power button because in the past it gave me random reboots so... I removed it
No luck.
I'be bought a JIG, booted in download mode (or fastboot? nevermind) and completely installed the original ROM and firmware via Odin.
Another time, no luck.
The phone it's still locked on boot logo. On battery it cannot go beyond the first black and white screen, on charger it stucks on the SAMSUNG colored and animated one.
I have tried to change the battery but still no luck.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Did you perform a factory reset from recovery mode after flashing a stock ROM and before booting the phone for the first time?

No I didn't. I'm going to try this and will report here, thanks.
Btw, flashing stock firmware doesn't wipe all possible datas?
No, don't reset if you don't want to lose all data.

Flash the stock firmware, factory reset, flash the stock firmware AGAIN. Remnants will remain if you don't flash twice with a reset in between.
