[Q] Problems with my S4 ACTIVE - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a problem with my Samsung I9295... After a change of the Charge/USB Pin conector, I broke mine, the phone started to fail... I turned on the phone and in 5 min or so of it being turned on the screen turn off, sort of, you are only able to see the battery bar.... The after a while even the keyboard and some apps stop working... I did a Factory Reset via recovery and try to do a Wipe Cache, the Wipe Cache FAILED... The Phone still with the same problem.... So I did flash a new firmware downloaded from Sammobile... Everything good, except for other problems similar to the one I had before... Laggy phone, no way to turn off the phone via the software, and when I turn off the display you can see the samsung logo faded, and no way yo turn it back, I had to turn off the phone and it takes forever to restart, sometimes turning on the phone it get stuck in the lock screen and then it restart alone and get stuck in samsung logo, I have to turn it off and then On and the it works....
I also try to flash a 4.2.2 official firmware and everytime with every firmware I downloaded ODIN gives me a Failed Messages...
Any idea on why its doing this?
Thanks for your help...

[Q] a problem after installed new ROM (Froyo 2.2)

I installed it yesterday via Kies. after finished, it told me to reboot then I did, When I turned on the phone, it just started as normal with flashing S logo.
10-15 seconds later the screen turned black and the menu and back buttons lights on with a vibration sometimes.
I just cant use 3 buttons to get into any modes or use CMD to get into it. I just bought it last week and never installed any ROMS in it.
Any help, please?
I've had some issues after Kies upgrade... my apps kept crashing and not responding. I think I even had the same problem like you. All I did is a factory reset. Go to Settings -> Privacy and under Personal Data you'll find Factory data reset. Try it. Be carefull before doing a factory reset, try backup your data (phonebook, contacts, messages etc.) Hope it helps
I cant even get into the phone. got stuck at the logo..
the phone will auto reboot... how come you have to reboot it yourself?

Note 5 stuck in loop while updating firmware at %24

Hi All,
Sorry if this is asked before. I have a new Note 5 unlocked. I turned it on yesterday and started using it. Late at night, its screen froze. I tried pressing Power+Volume_Down buttons to restart the phone. The phone restarted but the the screen was black. Only the notification light was on (blue).
In the morning, the light was still on and the phone was froze. I tried restarting it and I succeeded it. Then I realized the phone was very, I mean veeeery slow. By the time, a firmware update notification popped up. I believe it was Marsmallow update. I hit the yes button. The phone started the update and was stuck at %24. Then it restarted itself. The update process starts over and when it reaches %24, it starts over.
This happened before with my note 4 when I tried to root it. This phone is brand new and is not rooted. However, I transferred my Google profile but I did not select to download my previous apps. So, I don't think it is rooting issue but stucking at the same percentage makes me nervous.
I tried to get into recovery mode but the button combination does not work at all. So I can neither factory reset nor clear the cahe partition. When I press Volume_Down+Home+Power buttons, a custom rom download screen appears but Volume_Up+Home+Power buttons do not work at all. I cannot shut off the phone. It constantly restarts itself, starts the update, fails at %24 and starts the process over again.
What might be the problem? How can I fix this?
Regards
Hi,
Try flashing some stockfirmware via Odin (ideally something of the same android version i.e. lollipop/marshmallow). Once it's installed you should be able to access recovery from which I strongly recommend clearing your cache afterwards as you've already suggested. If you are not worried about loosing any data, then flash new firmware that is inclusive of BL/CP/CSC files too (each one has a category for such in Odin). With the latter, by all means flash marshmallow etc. :good:
Regards

Samsung S7 Freeze and Boot Loop.

Switched phone on after work, phone powers up, boots up and then freezes after around 20 secs then switches off and re-boots, the process then starts again over and over again.
I've tried deleting cache, master reset, safe mode, simulated battery reset which does not work. I let the battery run flat by putting the phone into download mode and then recharged the battery but still nothing. The phone seems stable only in download mode.
I managed to re-install stock 7.0 firmware via Odin. Firmware installs fine, phone boots up and then freezes on welcome screen and then boots up again. I then tried 6.0.1, again installs fine, I get the welcome set up screen but after a 20 odd secs freezes up again.
The phone is less than two years old. Samsung service centre warranty job? Thanks.
Yes, in this case it probably seems an issue which can be solved by the service centre.

I know this is old, but for anyone else with similar problems, have you tried flashing with Odin after erasing everything via recovery?

Constant reboots

I've been facing a weird problem with my G800H since yesterday. The phone will reboot constantly. It will boot into android, I will even be able to open apps, but it will suddenly reboot after a minute or so. I didn't do anything to my phone for it to start doing this. The weirdest part is that the rebooting will happen even if I am in recovery mode (TWRP). Also, the phone will automatically turn on if I take off the battery and put it back in, something that never happened before.
I use stock 6.0.1 (rooted) and TWRP 3.0.
Things I've already tried:
Charging it;
Safe mode (same problem);
Taking off SD card (who knows);
Wipe cache/dalvik (phone restarts before finishing);
Re-install ROM ( Download mode (ODIN) doesn't open, insta-restart after 'press volume up to enter odin').
I really dont want to do a full factory reset, only as a last resort, as i don't even know if it will have time to do so, or even if it will fix it. Does anyone know a way for wiping the cache without having to format it ( takes too long in TWRP so phone restarts before finishing ), or maybe have some other way of entering download mode, maybe with adb, or finding out what went wrong. Any sugestions on what to do or what happened?
I (my wife) have the exact same problem, I bought a new battery which didn't solve the problem.
Also tried a factory reset, didn't help either.
It is a non rooted phone...
Next try is a custom rom, hope it helps...
Install an app that records logs like Logcat, set it in record mode and wait until the phone reboots. Then look through the file, study what happens near the end when the phone turns off. You'll most likely find the cause there.

Stuck on Welcome screen after factory reset

Hello there,
I've just found my old GT-S5300 from back in the day, and I tried turning it on to eventually use it again.
The issue is that when turning on, I get the usual "Welcome to GT-S5300" screen, and it tells me to "Touch the Android to begin"; when trying to do so, my phone doesn't let me go to the next screen to connect to Google and all the miscellaneous steps that come later. The touch screen does react, I can change the language/type a number in emergency call, the Android flashes when I touch it but it doesn't let me go to the next step.
I have tried factory resetting/wiping cache & data but nothing does it, I keep getting stuck on the same screen.
I even tried flashing a custom ROM and the stock ROM, but it seems my phone can't read the SD card I insert in it, I don't know why (32GB, works on other devices).
I have CWM Recovery installed so whenever I go to Recovery mode I have the CWM Recovery menu which appears.
Before burying it in my closet, my phone was indeed rooted.
Do you have any idea if there is a way to use this phone again? Thank you!
