Samsung s8 plus it keeps restart, and now cant turn on - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody, I have a problem with my s8 plus Samsung, suddenly my phone froze, and begin to restart, almost 15 times or more. Then I did a force restart by holding volume down and power button, and after then its start-up usually for 10min, and again restarts, after I connecting to the power cable to changing, it stops charging. Then didn't response for nothing. DEAD, and after I leave it for a couple of hours, I tried to enter safe mode and to wipe cache memory. I thought maybe some app is causing a problem, and I run a test, and it shows me like this. On google, I found that probably is the motherboard, but somebody says its maybe last android update. And my friend says that perhaps it is RAM. Can somebody help me, I only want to access my phone to enter the gallery and save photos, then after that, the phone can be lifetime dead, it doesn't concern me. Thanks for helping me

I will try that, when I turn on the device, now it's frozen again, and I think it is turned off, because I can't turn on, but the battery is 100% charged.

Finally, after almost 12h, I successfully power on my phone, and when I turn on, it showed me this error. Now I think maybe is everything ok with the motherboard because when I type on google this problem, it says that after Samsung Knox update, many users have this problem with the phone.

Its not a problem you enter it by holding the bixby +pwr+vol dwn buttons at the same time Its called download mode or bootloader mode this is where you flash stuff in odin after you press the volume up button to continue like it says. So now flash the stock firmware

the Only options I can select are:
Bootloader
reboot
reboot bootloader
power down
Bootloader gives me:
fastboot
recovery
factory reset
clear storage
simlock
image crc
selecting recovery takes me back to bootloader screen..
Where to go from here?

Samsung Galaxy s3 NOT ROOTED stuck at Logo Screen

I know this has been asked dozens if not hundreds of times, but it seems everyone has bricked their phone by rooting.
My phone has never been rooted, and I have had it working fine for at least 9 months now.
It was working all day and when I got home from school I plugged it into the charger the same as every night and when I woke up it was stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy III" screen.
I have no idea how to fix this please help, I cannot get into recovery mode it just says "recovery 'something'" and disappears quickly then shows the Logo Screen again before shutting off.
I can get into download mode and I guess I have to start from there.
I don't want to do a wipe without at least getting into it in safe mode somehow and backing up some things, please help.
Oh and if it helps no new software was added since the last reboot, the only thing I could think of that changed from it working fine to this morning was my alarm? It was supposed to go off sometime in the morning maybe that froze it up? Other than that I have no idea why it would brick all of a sudden

Sounds like "half SDS" which requires Motherboard replacement.
Please boot into download mode and let me know what it says there.

The i9300 has a bug that wipes out the internal memory and causes symproms like yours, however I think only the i9300 has this bug.

[Q] I beseech thee, help me diagnose my YP-G70!

I've been searching XDA and Google for months now and I haven't found anyone else with this precise issue. I'm very tech savvy, but this is just beyond me! What say you? Will you help me in my quest to diagnose my device and possibly find a cure?
Listed below is what occurs when the USB Cable is connected, either via PC or the Wall.
While USB Cable is disconnected:
Pressing or holding any of the buttons, together or individually, does absolutely nothing. (But the battery can't be dead. I've had the thing on charge all night!)
When USB Cable is connected:
http://youtu.be/J8FJSo_S7cQ
Without pressing anything, the device powers on into download mode and continues to reboot itself every few minutes.
Holding the power button (or all buttons together) reboots it back into download mode to repeat what I just described above.
Pressing any/all buttons at this point does nothing.
When I disconnect the USB Cable from the device while in Download Mode, the device shuts off after about 20 seconds.
I have seen this on occasion, but nothing different happens:
(I'm aware this means forced download mode.)

I'm able to use Odin completely normally and flash anything successfully as well. Yet it just reboots back into download mode. And if I leave it alone while connected to my PC with Odin up, this is what it looks like:
I've "successfully" installed Stock ROM, Kernel and PIT files. Nothing changes! I've also tried one-click unsoftbricker, heimdal, calling it names, begging it to work. Am I crazy or...is this thing done for?
Have you tried repartitioning it?
By clicking that check box in Odin? Yes.
Ah, you must've hardbricked your Galaxy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1496360 < See if anything in that topic helps you.
You need to flash a ROM that has boot loaders in it...
When you use the unbrickable resurector, it flashes a boot loader that always boots to download mode. From download mode, you can flash a FULL rom, that will replace the boot loader. Then it will boot normally.

Thanks, I've been suspecting hard brick. I've seen that thread before, it could really use some reorganizing. I can barely follow it.

That would make sense but which ROMs would those be?
This is a Russian ROM but it should have boot loaders.

Let me know how it goes...
Downloading now. I'll have to try it tomorrow on spare time. Really hoping this works. Thanks for giving me some hope, I really thought this thing was done for!
It's not hard bricked... that ROM will restore it. But after you flash that rom , you'll need to flash a different Rom for your region...

I never even heard of a "Full" ROM before. The problem I was having was apparently my bootloader - or lack-there-of.
You saved my Galaxy Player's life! Thank you very much!
I'm happy to say that this case is closed!
I am going to favorite this thread. You never know when you'll need some good info like this.
Ironically, my GP just managed to softbrick -_- I may be f'd.
Edit: Thankfully, I managed to fix it. Whew!

i9100 wont charge

Hello, I have a little question, recently a friend told me if I can fix his i9100, cause "it remains at logo"
My surprise was that the phone doesnt even charge, when I plug it to the power, a battery that aparently is loading apears, for 2 segs, and then the screen turn off, and then the battery icon agains, and remains in a infinite loop but wont charge
Someone have this problem and knows how to repair it? I wish the problem isnt hardware :/
This is the exact icon i say:

You will have to reflash a stock rom using ODIN. Don't worry because there are many guides over the internet. Guide: http://mobilenetworkcomparison.org.uk/tutorials/how-to-restore-the-stock-samsung-galaxy-s2-rom/
Make sure you download the rom for the correct version of phone!
Once you've flashed stock rom, make sure to factory reset and wipe cache partition. (note: don't do this if you are going to flash ics because this might hard brick your device)

7)Right click odin and run as administrator
DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN THE PIT AND OPTIONS Section
8)Check the AP button(PDA in some versions of Odin)
9)Press the AP/PDA button and find the rom that you downloaded
Look at this image for reference, you should have something where each of the arrows point.
10)Press start(not liable for anything this may cause)
11) See if it works!

I can take the battery out to shut it off but as soon as the bettery goes in it turnes on automatically. I can only go into download mode and connect to odin and thats it.

Can you send a screenshot of your computer when on Odin and a picture of your phone? It would really help.
not sure how to do that. My tablet took some terrible pics.
Well i now have a different screen now that says " Samsung Custom" and it just staays there.
However! If i do volume up,power,home and wait a sec for first vibration and immediately let go of power button while holding volume up and home key i get my upper left hand corner booting menu. I can see my backups on the ex sd and a hyper ro zip file but i cant flash them. it shows something in each backup "data.ext.win000.md5 and 001.md5" as well as "system.ext4. same endings" but cant flash them. I get a failed to mount error.
in the upper left hand corner in red it says
Android System Recovery<3>
KOT49H.I545VRUFNC5
Choose a package to install:
/sdcard
ansd then a boot menu. Is this a good sign?
