S6 won't turn on & vibrate continously at Samsung Logo - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I need your help.
I was using my phone normally when suddenly some official app crashed, i pressed the report by email button, but nothing happened, the phone freezed. So i just pressed the power button to restart the phone.
Now i can't turn it on ! Everytime it reaches the samsung logo, i get a cycle of 1 vibration followed by 3 vibrations a few seconds later. Those vibrations keep repeating until the phone decide to restart and the problem repeat itself.
tiny good news : I was able to enter TWRP recovery mode, and switch off the phone in order to be able to start it in "Safe mode".
So safe mode is working, but as soon as i try to come back to normal booting : same problem again (stuck at samsung logo + 1+3 vibrations infinite cycle).
Did this happened already to someone ? I was not doing any sensitive manipulation when it started so i'm surprised (the app that crashed it pebble time app, but i think it's just random).
Any way to boot in normal mode without having to hard reset it, please ?????

So i managed to fix the problem.
Here is my solution for others who might encounter this issue:
Being able to enter safe mode but not normal mode told me it was an app that bugged...
Something probably went wrong with the Pebble Time application: i've uninstalled it through the play store (in safe mode), and then.... i managed to reboot in normal mode again ! (and i reinstalled the pebble time app again, no more problem even after rebooting).
All good now.

[Q] bootloop, no recovery, random "offline charging" message... what happened?

[Q] bootloop, no recovery, random "offline charging" message... what happened?
Hello,
I have a 1-month old Moto E, still unrooted, locked etc.
Suddenly a couple of days ago it turned off, at the moment I could not turn it on - after many attempts, I made it and battery was to almost 0... then I switched off, and on again, and it was back at 51%. Then in the evening it turned off again and since then I cannot turn it on.
If (and only IF) I plug the charger, it turn on and goes boot loop with a led flash before rebooting - I can access fast boot with simply pressing volume down during boot attempts, but then, whatever option I choose (with volume up) it just goes boot loop again. If I try to long press Power, nothing happens. If I try long pressing Power + Volume Up + Volume Down, sometimes I have the "offline charging" screen (power plug with arrow out and power chord).
When I access fast boot sometimes it says BATTERY OK, sometimes it says BATTERY LOW... always with charger plugged.
I managed once to get to BP Tools and do some diagnostics (no errors found) and just once I made it to recovery: it had a message "no command", then it rebooted and then the phone worked ok until I turned it off.
When I turned it back this morning... boot loop again.
I do not know what to do, I wouldn't like to unlock and loose warranty (it's 1 month old!) and I cannot give it to service until monday... any hint meanwhile?
Thanks
It looks that you have encountered a battery problem. I think you have to send in the device for repair.

Samsung galaxy s6 edge is in a weird type of bootloop freezing cycle

https://vimeo.com/194087533 link to video showing what's happening
So my sister's samsung galaxy s6 edge is in a weird type of bootloop freezing cycle, where it won't actually turn on but it can be restarted over and over again using the buttons.
A few days ago it restarted itself and froze a few times so she used the volume up and power key to restart it and it worked so she turned it off and left it for for a few hours and it worked again until yesterday.
Yesterday it started freezing again but the volume up and power keys no longer worked for restarting so she started to use volume down and power keys and by holding them in it restarted the phone. The phone would only stay on for a few seconds and then freeze again and she would have to restart it again.
Now it's got to the point where it won't even turn on and every time it's restarted it gets stuck on the Samsung opening screen like I've shown in the video.
I know the option here is to hard reset it but she has alot of videos and photos with sentimental value, so if there's a way to back it up before hard resetting it id love it know
Can anyone offer up a solution or 6 please? Appreciate it!

First thing... what model is i? G925? After i have this i can give you the best steps to take.
Its stuck in a bootloop and the easy fix is to boot to recovery and wipe data/cache then if not fixed flash the stock fimware. But there is a way to save the data. But i need the model.
And btw volume up and power does nothing. It will of just restarted due to holding power. Vol down and power is the correct way to boot to safe mode

Help LG G5 VS980 not booting properly problem

Hi, I was using my LG G5 while plugged in, all of a sudden it acts weird, app crashes, lags and a few part of the screen goes black for a short moment. It then shuts down and restart itself, but stuck on some sort of a bootloop (it passes the logo screen but then the LCD goes black and keeps turning itself on and off repeatedly with nothing in it, also the LED light is showing blue)
I took off the battery, put it back in, and turned it on. But it ended up the same. So then I went to the system recovery menu. The recovery menu works just fine. However I've tried using its safe mode, wipe cache, factory data reset, continue power up, and none of them seems to work. It just stuck on that bootloop.
Since I was getting desperate, I left the phone in the bootlooping state for awhile.. at some point it started normally and goes to the choose your language menu (because of the factory reset I guess). I was so relieved, until it restarts itself again.
I've tried replacing the battery with a new one, also doesn't work. There is no LG service center in my city, and I have no warranty whatsoever over this phone because I bought it online. I couldn't find anyone with the same problem.
Here's a video showing you the problem:

Help guys.. What should I do and how to fix this?

Screen completly distorted after brick and recovery

Hey all
I bricked my ulefone power 3s yesterday. Got bootloop (always reseted after 5 seconds) and could never go into recovery mode. This is "fixed". But now I face some mystical ****..
- Phone in a bootloop. Could not enter any other mode.
- Connection on pc always came and went due to the constant resetting every 5 seconds.
- Used Smartphone flash tool: Auto format flash and format whole flash. Took 3 seconds and Tool said success
- Phone didnt boot at all now. Black screen. No vibration when trying to power on. Nothing. Was able to connect to pc and keep the connection however
- Flashed official rom.
- "Phone finally boots..."
But.. I've never seen something like this
From boot to android menu, the screen is COMPLETLY distorted.
I dont know what to do anymore. What the hell is going on? The screen worked perfectly fine before. Even during boot loop. I didnt crack the screen. Nothing happened to the display physically.. Its literally before and after in terms of time it took.
I can still scroll down and up normally (but laggy) use functions etc. Its just that the screen is completly ****ed up. Im completly out of ideas.. Reflashing doesnt work. Problem persists.
Theres also this weird chinese text and key on the upper right corner. No idea what it means and never had it before.
See pictures...

Phone stuck on bootloop or isn't responding shortly after boot and crashes

The phone fell off a treadmill and went haywire.
If I don't do anything it's stuck in bootloop, powers up, showes the loading screen moving lines for ages and eventually restarts.
If I start tapping the phone (unplugged) eventually it boots up, and it like normal, but if I do anything too quickly it will give me an error "process system isn't responding" with options to exit or wait, regardless it will crash. If at any point the screen goes to sleep it will crash, so I have to keep interacting. This one time I managed to get to the point where I plugged in into my pc, unlock the phone, select data transfer and started phone repair using Xperia PC software but it crashed before software finished the download and then gave me an error. Sometimes when I plug it in at that stage it will crash. Then back to the loop unless I tap the screen (only works sometimes, but I haven't seen it boot without me doing it, could be a consistent coincidence tho).
If I hold volume up + power button when the phone is off, nothing happens. If I do it while it's booting it will vibrate 3 times, restart, and then turn off (the only way to exit bootloop basically) but doesn't lead me to a recovery screen or anything I can interact with. Phone is not flashed or anything. When it restarts it will blink the red light a few times. Is there any chance to recover data or even just the phone?
Thanks!
