Hey Community,
i´ve got some problems after i tried to fix my Galaxy S5 (SM-G901F). One day i accidentally dropped my phone and purple spots started to show up on my screen until eventually all of it was covered and the phone was therefore unuseable. So i thought my screen was the issue, which is why i bought a third-party screen. After i installed the screen i tried to boot up my phone, which is when i first started to notice the problem.
My phone won´t boot. It´ll show the screen, which says "Samsung Galaxy S5/ Powered by Android), but then it just goes black for a few seconds and then it starts all over again. So i thought it would help to wipe the cache by going into recovery mode, but it turned out that i have no access to the recovery mode, whereas i still have access to the download mode. I tried to flash a new recovery using odin, but the problem stays the same.
Then i had the idea, that the logic board might have a problem, which is why i bought a new logic board. After i installed it i tried to boot the phone up, but then the same problem appeared as i described above. This time i didn´t even have any access to the recovery and the download mode.
I would appreciate any help i could get.
Please contact me if you have any further questions.

Hi everyone, I have this weird problem with my S6500, or rather my younger brother has.
He tried to put on his S6500 (not D, this phone is with NFC) Cyanogenmod 10.1, after some ups and downs, he finally got it to work, but... camera wasn't working, it was said on the cyanogenmod page to flash with the newest update, he did that, phone worked good... almost, after he was blocking his screen, he couldn't unlock it, because there was some kind of white screen stuff, weirder was the thing, that he could hear all the *clicking* sounds as he was trying to unlock. He had to restart the phone every time after he blocked the screen, so he wanted the phone to function normally and tried to put his stock ROM back again. Well the flashing went well (as Odin showed) but the phone stucked in bootloop.
The phone showed the Orange logo (he is using his original stock rom from Orange Poland, downloaded from sammymobile) and then it quickly changed to Samsung logo, after that the phone vibrates once, and after that it vibrates 3 times really fast and restarts from the Orange logo.
He tried to get into Recovery mode, but coul;dn't (the phone doesn't react to any of the combinations we found - vol+,vol-, home and power and many others), and as I forgot to mention before, after every flash (while the recovery was working) he cleared data in menu of the recovery.
We also tried the different method to boot the phone into recovery mode (put it in Download mode, which works and then instead of going further by pressing vol+ we pressed the down button and held vol+,vol- and home button, but instead of going into recovery the phone booted in weird screen with small letters RAMDUMP MODE (ARM9 mode).
We tried several times to flash new recovery with Odin, but it doesnt work, the PIT file also doesn't work, or can someone provide me with the stock s6500 PIT file as I couldn't find one, because I read in the Polish forum, that screen mentioned before only shows up if there is a SuperUser app in the phone, so we need the PIT file to flush it.
So the problem is after flashing it with numerous cwm and original stock roms we couldn't get it to boot or to get into recovery menu, or get it working.
Also the hardware is all ok, as the phone is almost brand-new ( he got it from the Orange few months ago).
So help plz?
I have the very SAME problem with my S6500D. Same as described above.
Anyone has managed to fix this problem ? I have all needed tools.
Hi
So I've had my Samsung SIII for just over 18 months, and it's all worked fine etc. I've never rooted it or anything.
But this morning it will not boot up. When I try to switch it on the start up sequence happens, but it gets stuck on the flashing Samsung splash screen. If I turn it off it just restarts and ends up back on that screen. The only way to stop it is to take the battery out.
I've tried starting it in recovery mode (power+home button+vol up), but the standing, open android just flashes and I end up with the android lay down with the red exclamation mark from there. It then loops between the two androids and the Samsung SIII start up logo screen. I have tried to press the volume buttons whilst on the red exclamation mark screen but cannot get to anywhere from it.
However, it will load the download mode (power+home button+ vol down) just fine.
I have looked all over but most people encountering anything similar have rooted their devices, which I have not.
Also, last week I lost all of my contacts which were stored on the device (I don't know why) but that might have something to do with it.
I don't particularly want to hard reset the phone and lose everything, but if it's the only solution I will do.
Thanks.
In download mode is the product number shown or a blank?
If it shows i9300 then you have a good chance of flashing either a full stock rom or a rescue firmware (see general forum) using odin. You will need to factory reset in recovery afterward, but your data is almost certainly unrecoverable.
If the product number is blank then you have partial SDS and require a new motherboard.

Do has boomboomer said above but as a last resort before flashing back to stock or a rescue firmware if you flash PhilZ recovery in download mode with odin.You then have a Aroma option in PhilZ recovery to browse and copy phone files so you may be able to recover some data pictures etc.
Please read PhilZ thread >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 << and the special features thread about Aroma file manager in post #3
Please note use as a last resort to get your data back! and read everything! Also all this is presuming you can get into PhilZ recovery after flashing..
I'm having the same problem , been looking through lots of topics. When I switch on the phone it's not booting android guy lays on his back. Download mode and Android Recovery are in my range.
I've been trying to flash stock-firmware from sammobile.com with ODIN but no effect , I mean It all went OK in Odin Operation list than fially phone reset and PASS. But this android guy is still laying on his back and making fun of me xD
Before trying to get back to stock ROM, I've had rooted phone and installed RR with 4.4.2 for S3, now I don't have a clue what shall I do next ...
Any ideas ? (the noob[me] have asked )

And my newest version of stock firmware is swimming very nice I hope This will help someone
My Note II (N7100) won't start up and I don't know what is the cause. The text "galaxy note 2" is showing and right after that, the text buzzes away.
I already tried to flash stock rom, but it did not help (I don't know if I had the right one, however, on download mode it says samsung official. My device is the international version, I live in Holland. Also, in download mode, the screen does not shift like it does in recovery mode and in the startup animation).
I also tried to get into recovery mode, and managed to restore to factory settings and wipe cache, options in recovery mode were hard to read because of the shifting screen. Please help me.
My device had been rooted, but I flashed stock rom again about a month ago. Last night I went to sleep and put my phone on the charger, my alarm was still working, but when I woke up my phone did not start up anymore.
Ok, so one night I was using my phone normally (Browsing. Watching YouTube, Playing Games) like everyone else does. Then all of a sudden it shuts off, but immediately turns on again without me pressing a button. (So basically it suddenly auto restarts on its own) This occured maybe 2-4 times (all in one night) until one time, it shuts off but doesn't turn on again (basically an automatic shutdown), so I tried turning it on again (Power button), then I got shocked because all of a sudden it enters a boot loop (Screen displaying this sequence : Samsung Galaxy S4 screen, my carrier logo screen, The encrypted screen (where you have to enter your encryption password) then again the Samsung logo but this time with the colors splashing from the background, then it shuts off again.) Sometimes after the boot loop sequence, it vibrates but never turns on again, sometimes it just turns off after the sequence. And as I try and try to get away from the boot loop, the sequence became shorter. So I'm guessing it's a battery problem, BUT my battery isn't bloated or deformed. I tried clearing the cache first, again the sequence got shorter (never going up to the carrier logo screen), then I tried formatting the data, still to no avail. Now, when I turn it on, It shows the Samsung logo screen for 2 seconds and shuts down.
I tried flashing it with ODIN thru Download mode BUT (HERE'S where another problem occured) :
My phone never get pass on the system.img.ext4 dialogue and my screen just goes blank. But ODIN still recognizes my phone. And when I remove the USB cable, ODIN says FAIL.
I'm sure the cable is working. I downloaded the firmware for my carrier (Tre 3).
What could be the real problem here?
Here is the description of my device :
Samsung Galaxy GT-I9505
Bought from Italy, Tre 3 carrier
Can I download a different region/carrier for my I9505 phone?
Advanced thanks for anyone who comments and I'm very sorry for my English. Thanks!
I would install TWRP recovery, boot to it, and use it to format data, which will remove the encryption. Then I would either push a rom to the phone via recovery or try to reinstall the stock firmware with Odin. Make sure that you run Odin as admin as well. The firmware must be the same version or newer. If you still have the stock recovery and can boot to it, then I think the build number of the currently installed firmware will be visible there. You should be able to use that to Google the correct version you need.
Hey it's me. Just posting a quick reply.
Thanks for replying to my post. Yesterday I successfully flash a rom to my GT-I9505 (Version 5.0.1 Italy HUI 3G). However it still didn't boot up. At first try it booted up to the first setup screen then just randomly shuts down. Then as I try to boot it up again, It just shuts down after the first Samsung logo (with the GT-I9505 logo), I can't boot into recovery cause it shuts down. I'm sure it's not a battery issue cause when I boot into download mode, it can stay in that screen for like 10 minutes. What could be the issue? I'm planning to disassemble my S4 sooner to see if something's wrong inside. Thanks again for the reply
Guys, this is something I never seen before.
So, my wife's SM-G925F, original firmware, knox, all stock.
While video-calling her mother, some glitches appear on the screen. After that, another video call with my mom, again glitches. I advice her to restart the phone.
Than, BOOM! Screen is always black, except the first SAMSUNG Galaxy S6 edge - powered by android white logo.
The phone is starting, it enters the operating system, you can press the screen, you can feel the vibration feedback (i suppose on pin or maybe phone password), but you can see nothing.
I tried enter recovery mode, screen black. I don't know if it enters or not.
It enters download mode, so I tried the following:
1. root the phone
2. installing TWRP
3. flash latest original ROM via ODIN.
Nothing helped, same thing. I can see the phone in My Computer, but with no access to the files, Samsung Smart Switch recognizes the phone but I can't do anything because it's locked.
I've got no idea what to do next. I was thinking about clearing the cache partition, but don't know if it's possible through download mode.
Anyone else encountered this problem? Do you have any suggestion?
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks!

If the ODIN can not help you to fix this problem, try with this dr.fone - Repair. It can help to repair Android system issues easily.
What is this dr.fone **** asking for money... to flash some ROM??
Also, a little update here. It seems that I managed to boot the phone into TWRP, but with no image on screen. Via adb I managed to install a new custom ROM (SuperStock S8 Fast Lite For Galaxy S6 Stable G920F/G920FD/G925F), it boots up as I can hear the sound made by the volume buttons, but all with no image. I also erased dalvik cache via adb.
I'm starting to think that the phone is broken (like physically), but I can't understand why I see the first logo (white on black) and why I see download mode
the dr.fone is not free. If your phone is broken by physically, maybe you can not see the download mode.
Coming up here with a little update: it seems that if you don't try to start the phone a day or two, after that it works like nothing happened. Until you turn off the screen the first time, than you can not turn it on again, and it's doing the same thing, showing image only on first logo and in download mode.
This is really-really strange.
No one?
