Just to preface this I have searched and tried many solutions but had limited or no success.
First let me say that I my phone base was dipped in water and would no longer boot or charge. I took the phone apart and replaced the battery and cleaned connections. After this the phone charges and will boot. The issue is it hangs at the AT&T logo. It will animate for a couple of sections then hang.
I have wiped and cleared cache several times.
I can boot to download mode and into recovery. I can upload new firmware via odin. I have reflashed several versions and am now running G925AATT5DPK5.
I can boot to safemode but it hangs at starting apps.
I have since bought a S7 so it is not urgent but would like to get this running.
Thanks in advance.

hello everyone, my stock s6 edge on rogers is stuck in a boot loop all of a sudden, fully stock and unmodded, running 5.0.2. i was just walking and listening to music through bluetooth headphones and all of a sudden it stopped, and i looked at my phone and it was rebooting. so i just waited and its still stuck in a boot loop after an hour. it gets to the lock screen sometimes, and then after like a second or 2 just reboots again. i have not tinkered or have done anything to my phone either, and had no issues with random reboots ever, so i have no idea what could have happened
some extra info, when it reboots it doesnt always go to the galaxy s6 edge screen, it sometimes just shows the samsung logo with the animation. i have also tried to wipe cache and that didnt work either. after a few reboots however the stock theme was applied at some point. also i tried booting into safe mode and that also didnt work.
i really dont want to wipe my phone, but i will if it is absolutely necessary. so if anyone has any other suggestions that i can try out it will be very much appreciated!
thanks!

I have had said problem before under the same circumstances (although it was with a different phone)
Try using Odin to install the stock Firmware.
A thread explaining how is right here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
If you don't want the firmware listed in that thread, download from Sammobile.
While some users say it does not wipe the phone, it wipes every time I use it
If this does not work, you should get a warranty replacement.

Thank you for the reply!
weird thing is it fixed itself .. few hours after it started it just booted back up and didnt reboot again, and has been running fine for the past couple hours. but if this happens again i will know what to try next time
Hey guys, so I've gotten myself out of boot loops before but this time I need one of ya'lls superior minds to help me out, if ya'll got the time.
I'm running a rooted, bootloader-unlocked HTC One M8 (TWRP recovery, custom ROM) that I've been using the past couple months with only some battery issues. Yesterday at work, my phone turned off for no reason, and every time I turned it on, it would turn off after reaching the boot logo. Low battery, no biggie. I got home and plugged it in, but this time it would just stay on the HTC One logo.
Wearily, I decided to do a factory reset, but after still no luck, I tried an advanced wipe (cache, data, internal storage [not system]) and took out my SD card, but nothing new yet. While searching for this problem, I came up on a lot of threads saying the factory reset didn't wipe anything from their phone, could this be a possibility?
Is there something I haven't done (or done wrong), or is there any way to fix this without using an RUU?
Bump; I tried to use the RUU I used before, but it got stuck at 28% and after searching for the problem, deemed it safe to terminate the application and start anew, but now my phone can't boot to recovery and just keeps turning on then off.
Halp?
Ok, first up I know there are many posts out there about this issue because I've looked at most of them and tried them so please bear with me.
I have a Samsung Galaxy GT-N8010, about 4 years old. I have never rooted or done anything to the firmware in all that time except OTA updates & the occasional factory reset to clean things up.
Couple of months ago it was on, i had been using it and put it down and when i came back it was on the Samsung logo screen and has been ever since.
Since i could get into the download page even though it was already bricked I figured i'd try rooting to see if i could fix the problem. Now possibly i should have attempted to get into recovery mode first but I attempted to install CWM (as per posts here). It appeared to install fine. But no recovery partition, screen blinks and goes back to the logo.
I've tried flashing stock firmware, TWRP, CWM - all 'appear' to install successfully according to ODIN, but nothing changes, still stuck on the logo screen.
So does this sound like a hardware issue or am i missing something? The Tab A 10.1 with s-pen looks great, would be a perfect replacement, but is not available in NL
Thanks guys (& gals)

So I've reached out to this forum as I've tried a million and one things but can't seem to get my phone to boot.
Here's the situation:
I fell asleep watching a video on my phone and my phone died. I plugged it into the charger and it wouldn't boot, would just endlessly be stuck in a boot loop. Looked it up and saw this is a common issue. Went through the standard fixes:
Wiped the cache
Factory reset the phone.
Attempted to boot in safe mode. (Wouldn't work, still boot looped)
After all this failed I thought I would just flash it using Odin v3.14. T-Mobile is my carrier and I'm based in the US so I used this firmware: SM-N950U TMB, LINK(https://updato.com/download-samsung...sa/sm-n950u/B094B9DAF04A11EAB4A2FA163EE8F90B/)
It still didn't work after this. It booted up and the startup process began asking me to agree to the terms and conditions. Before even getting to agree, the phone crashed. I tried this again and it just kept failing and crashing. I did this all while plugged into a charger. What I did begin to notice is that the phone would get hot on the left side, where the battery sits. I'm not sure if this is related to the crash or just the fact that its been discharging and charging a lot while I troubleshoot it. I have tried different firmware as well just in case I had the wrong one, but nothing has been working. When I update the firmware I used the CSC file and not the HOME_CSC and I also use the USERDATA file since at this point I kind of accepted I'm not getting my pictures and files back and I'm just trying to get the phone to work once again, thus just trying to factory restore it. Also, when the phone does start booting it says optimizing apps on the bottom each time I boot it I feel this number is changing. I'm not sure what else to do or if anyone has any suggestions? Thank you in advance
Hello XDA community,
I have a G965F that is permanently stuck on the first boot screen (Samsung Galaxy S9+ secured by Knox powered by Android) and it will not progress past this point. I have left it on for hours, and it just stays on that screen. Recovery mode does not work; if I try the button combination for it, it just stays on the same screen as mentioned before. However, I am able to get it into download mode. From here, I have tried flashing every firmware I possibly could, of course with the correct region and version, but nothing works, and the situation stays the same as mentioned before. Odin usually finishes up with no problems and reboots the phone, in which case the bootloop happens once again. On the rare occasion that Odin does fail, it will not boot even to the first splash screen but rather to the blue screen with the triangle, telling me to connect it to SmartSwitch and go from there. I have attempted this also, but SmartSwitch only gives some errors, and it fails.
The phone was on the stock firmware for a few years and even updated through Odin when OTA didn't work. It is a UK-unlocked Exynos device. About 2 years ago, I decided to switch to lineageOS using Neuroticals ROM, and that worked flawlessly, OTA updates and everything, 0 problems. I even went back to stock at some point and reinstalled Lineage shortly after because of how much it improved the device. About 9 months since I last did any type of flashing, the phone randomly froze while I was using it (I think the bottom half of the screen went black) and was totally unresponsive until I forced shut it down. This is where the aforementioned problem began.
I thought letting the battery run out would help, but it hasn't. One thing I have noticed is that it either charges very slowly or doesn't at all; it will only stay on for a maximum of a minute after it is unplugged. I left it for a few months, hoping to discharge it completely, but the problem persists.
Apologies for the lengthy post; I've used this site for about a decade for mods on various devices and it has solved all of my problems, but this is the first one that has really stumped me. For the past few months I've spent tens of hours searching various forums and webpages but can find very little about my specific problem. Thank you for any help in advance.
I will include pictures of the codes that download mode shows, and hopefully someone has some answers.
PS. For some reason current binary says "Custom (0x8)" after successfully flashing the stock firmware many times with Odin, but when Odin does fail it will show "Samsung Official". This I cant make heads or tails of.
