HI,
I have experienced a weird problem with my phone. it will not boot and whenever i turn it on, the initial samsung galaxy s6 logo (powered by android) screen comes on, goes blank and goes back to the same screen.
i have tried wipe data/reset from recovery as well as trying to odin flash 5.1.1 stock fw. none of these have worked. as of now, my phone is just stuck and will not get past the initial screen.
any thoughts/suggestions? don't know what else to do right now .

samsung galaxy note, uk model will not load up, it stays at the samsung logo screen. I tried to hard reset and was unable to get to any other screen other than the samsung logo screen, so that was unsuccessful. I then downloaded odin3 v1.5 and firmware from sammobile: N7000XXKKA_N7000CPWKK3_N7000XXKK5_HOME.tar.md5
i followed this post on how to flash:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389693
after i completed the process, odin stated "pass" the phone restarted but still remained at the logo screen, so that was unsuccessful.
i dont know what to do next. Its been three days since ive used my phone. please help.
thankyou
Take your battery out for about 20 mins. If that dosent work
Try a reset. If that dosent work.
Try flashing
again.
Hi,
I have a Samung Galaxy S3 LTE International (GT-I9305) that I have flashed with the nightly cyanogenmod about a month ago. This morning, when I woke up, the phone was stuck on the 'boot screen' that just showed the "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9305" wordings. I thought, no problem, I'll just take out the battery and restart. Tried that, no help. Boot screen still there. Thought again, no problem, I'll just boot into recovery mode and flash the latest nightly again. Tried that, to my horror, I couldn't boot into my clockworkmod recovery! Tried the up-home-power button key press, but this time the same boot screen shows up, and then disappears immediately again. Short while later, the same boot screen reappears and just hangs there.
Tried booting into download mode, but that warning screen appears for half a sec, disappears, and then the same boot screen reappears and hangs there again.
Any ideas what else I can try? Is this the motherboard dead?
Thanks!

Try to enter into download mode and flash a stock ROM (even if the screen doesn't display information [if it was not shutdown]).
Probably a motherboard problem due to SoC overheating or defective eMMc chip (I don't know if SDS exists on S3 LTE).
OK. After further googling, looks like my phone have all the symptoms of half-SDS. I've sent it to the service center. Hoping it'll be covered under warranty even though I've loaded cyanogenmod.
I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S5 and was working fine for a few days but all of sudden it rebooted and went through the boot screen and the logo of Samsung and then blue light comes on and black screen. I can no do anything but pull battery. I am able to get into recovery mode and bootloader mode but nothing else. Any help be appreciated.
Thanks
Soft-Brick Bootloop
I'm having the same problem as you currently, this is common for failure when modifying firmware with Odin. You can always try following instructions on how to un-brick your phone. Mine, unfortunately won't come out of this state, luckily, I haven't tripped any Knox warranty validations, as I was only installing a different firmware.
Hello! I am posting this because I have searched for hours on how to fix the phone with no luck, so this is a last resort. Im using a AT&T (sadly) galaxy s5. I was going to update to lollipop but couldn't since my device was rooted. I tried to unroot it by using supersu, but pulled the battery because it was taking forever (I know I know.) The phone at first booted to safestrap and I tried to factory reset to take off the root. Now, whenever I turn on my phone, it wold be at the samsung galaxy s5 screen with the little unlocked symbol. I tried to flash the stock firmware with odin. Didnt work. Now it boots (still says unlocked) and when the samsung animation finishes, it stays on a black screen. Any help at all? Thanks!
Try flashing the kernel from the root page
Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Active (SM-G890A) (AT&T) That I recently requested a sim unlock code for through AT&T. After I received the code, I inputted it upon the prompt, And after it accepted it, the phone froze and rebooted about 5 times or so, then got stuck on AT&T logo. I booted the phone into recovery mode and wiped the cache and factory resetted it. Now the phone just hangs immediately on the Samsung logo screen. I cannot boot into recovery mode, or safe mode. ODIN mode can still be accessed. Please note that the phone has never been rooted or had a custom ROM flashed on it. This phone has not had service for about a year now, So I cannot take it to AT&T. I wanted the phone unlocked so I could use it as a backup phone.
Same problem here, but mine seems stuck in bootloop, I'm trying some things for now, hope I can make it work again...

Similar problem here. But my screen stopped working too. I hear the Samsung logo sound. Sometimes the logo sound is completely played sometimes the phone seems to restart just in the middle of it. It seems to hang in a loop, its doing that as long as has battery and only stops as soon the blue light is out too. I can't shut it down with the keys.
There are a lot of photos on it. It would be nice to get them from the phone somehow.
