[Q] Weird problem with my Note

This morning after my phone became unresponsive I restarted it.
After restart it would just shut off during boot. Thinking this might me a ROM issue I then proceeded to wipe/factory reset but the problem continued
I restored a nand and it shuts off at the same spot, during boot.
I have now flashed several official firmware with Odin and still the same problem.
Could anyone shed some light on how to fix it?
Perhaps your battery is bloated?because my phone was once in that condition(unresponsive and restart like every 10mins) until I discover that the battery was bloated.

[Q] Note shutsdown automatically after ROM flash, Recovery shuts down

Hi and thanks in advance for your time.
I was on Vengence ROM (MIUI) and Philz kernel until 2 days ago when I suddenly developed a taste for some Kitkat. So I flashed the RawKernel and Mokee rom, following the instructions given on the ROM page.
Initial boot was ok, then I recovered some apps from Titanium Backup, installed Xposed modules and got about my usual work. After a while, I realized the phone would automatically turn off. This was not the usual shutdown process which takes several seconds, when i press the power button to turn the screen off, i found the phone would never wake up, it had shut down.
Then I wanted to reflash the ROM or recover my previous ROM from an image. When I tried to do either, the recovery would just shut down.
Then I tried to flash with ODIN, first the stock rom and then Darky ROM 3.4 RE. Flashing process works fine, the stock rom never boots beyond the samsung logo. DarkyROM loads but in about 5 seconds, it shuts down, without any warning.
I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions / solutions are greatly appreciated

[Q] Problems with my S4 ACTIVE

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...

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

Weird problem with my note5 please help me understand

So recently i bought note 5 N920T T-mobile variant and after few days i encounter a weird problem that i can't figure out what exactly is going on.
Once a sudden my phone freeze and touch screen stop responding then phone goes black screen and a strong white led light turn on while screen is black.
Then after pressing 3button together volume down+home+power the phone reboot normally
Then after few seconds again and again same thing happens.
I was on stock rooted 6.0.1 marshmallow rom with arter kernel permissive since i bought this device.
Things i tried
Factory reset from twrp (didn't change a thing)
I flashed stock rom marshmallow and nougat both via odin (got worse now more freezing and rebooting can't even complete setup )
Again tried flashing 4 files recovery firmware BL+AP+CP+CSC via odin this time with PIT FILE re-partition checked in odin. everything Pass smoothly without errors in odin but again freezing black screen on setup. (same issue)
Tried factory reset+wipe cache after flashing (still same)
At last i tried flashing custom rom "kongloi s8 port final repacked" from twrp after clean wipe it worked finally now no reboots or blackscreen freezing nothing everything works perfect for 2 days.
Then i thought now my phone is fixed so why not try stock again.then again same problem came back.
1 thing i realize that when i run custom kernel specifically a permissive kernel my phone runs without issues.
currently stuck with khongloi rom s8 port this is the only rom working on.my device and cant go back to marshmallow.
I am looking on Google and xda constantly from many days but can't find correct answer.
So please please someone point me out what is this issue
Sorry for the long post TIA
