I have a SM-N960F/DS with a XSP CSC I recently flashed September BTU firmware from sammobile because I was tired of waiting and everything works great and smoothly except for Secure Startup. Occasionally Secure Startup will hang and the animation will completely freeze for a few minutes. Until eventually the device automatically restarts itself once again requesting my password. Its only after a few hard resets will the device finally boot. Any ideas what could be causing this?

remove secured startup/password reboot to recovery, clear caches then reenable it again?
Thanks for your response. I just tried this and it didn't seem to fix the problem completely however it reduced the frequency in which it happens.
Update: Upon further use it appears this has solved the problem. Thank you.

Hello,
I have just flashed MIUI Gingerbread 2.4.20-RC3 to my GT-S5570, everything looks great, except WiFi, when I turn on WiFi, it says "Scanning" finds my WiFi and then "disconnected" and again shows "Scanning" for 1 sec and again "disconnected", what can I do?
WiFi Error
You need to revert to your old stock rom, because the drivers for WiFi aren't working. Same thing happened on my mobile phone, when I flashed it with the newer firmware. Didn't really find the solution to this problem, but solved it by going back to my old rom. Hope this helps.
You can also try typing this code into your phone: #*#*526#*#*
It might work for you.
Best of luck.

Thank you for reply.
It is working now, here is what I did: In phone settings I tried to change themes lock screen to other, but unfortunately not default lock screen was way too big (very big resolution) so I was not able to unlock my phone any more, once I found that I can do it pressing back+volume down, it helped to unlock, but MIUI was crashed and stopped working, so I had to wipe all data and cash, to reset default settings, after this, everything works great now.

the same thing was happening to me (on the same rom)>> "fixed" it by reseting the notebook-hot-spot (connectify) I use
[sometimes even a simple wi-fi turn on/off or rebooting the device would help too]
I'm posting this in order to prevent you from doing more drastic stuff :cyclops:
hope it' helps
Phone Condition: Very very new (Less than 48 hours)
Problem Description: The screen freezes randomly, restarts randomly, sometimes the screen freezes without restarting and can be stuck there forever
Solution tried:
(1) Wiped cache partition through stock recovery as suggested by everyone on the internet (It makes things smoother a bit but it still has the problem)
(2) Wipe everything and reset the device (Problem still persists)
(3) Flashed the latest available stock firmware with ODIN (Link: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N9208/XME/ --> Malaysian firmware) (Problem still persists)
(4) Used Smart Switch's Emergency Software and Recovery and Initialization (Problem still persists)
(5) Went to Samsung service center and sent in for repair, the person told me it has been fixed without providing further explanation and details (Problem still persists)
I've spent almost 10 hours troubleshooting and it's driving me crazy, someone please help me.
The whole internet with different blogs and articles only mention the wipe cache partition fix and it's useless.
Sounds like you've got a faulty device, my friend. Try bringing it back to your carrier and recreating the issue. They should replace it for you.

I've bring it back to the carrier and also Samsung today, both of them says they cannot refund me.
Samsung agreed to fix the phone if it's a software problem and if it's a hardware problem they will replace it with a new phone.
in my samsung note 5 it had a display freezing issue and tried to custom rom flash, the issue was still there. then i tried mirror the display my laptop to check it was a motherboard issue it wasnt, it worked fine. i tried to flash low power rom. its working fine
now
It happens randomly when using the phone (it doesn't happen when it's locked). The phone just freezes then restarts randomly.
I tried to find a pattern when this is happening, and found there isn't much of a pattern, but it won't let me add a fingerprint lock (crashes after the 3rd / 4th reading).
I've tried to factory reset and clear cache. I'm running out of options and am preparing to flash a stock ROM via Odin. I'd like to avoid this, since it'll trip knox and this is a new phone so I wanted to avoid flashing anything for now.
Any suggestions, ideas?
I'd say this is a kernel related crash, since it doesn't give any error, just goes out. But I hope I'm wrong.
Baseband: N920CXXU2BPD5
Build Number: MMB29K.N920CXXU2BPD6
Knox untripped.
EDIT: This seems to be a rule: it always crashes when I get to 32% of adding a fingerprint lock.
Here's an update:
Tried flashing other stock ROMs for other regions, still the same problem.
Flashed a custom kernel, still the same problem. -> Not a kernel problem
Flashed TWRP and used it for some time (to test if the phone will do the same). No problem whatsoever. I'm convinced that this is a firmware issue then.
Tried flashing every possible combination of everything. Nothing seems to have any effect. This isn't a software problem.
It's probably a faulty motherboard. The rebooting subsided though.
I'd also like to add that the S Pen holding area (the place where the S Pen is kept inside the phone) has a specific electronic smell (kindda like the soldering smell, but not quite). Really weird.
I voided my warranty by flashing stuff, so I'll probably be looking at a motherboard replacement if anyone's wondering.
Do u have xposed install?
Nah.
I've been running the stock rom for 90% of the time.

U solved it already? Mine used to have this problem before but its xposed that cause (in my case :highfive
Still haven't.
I'm almost certain it's a faulty motherboard.
Hello all. I am from the UK and recently purchased a sprint model phone. I wanted to remove handsfree activation. In order to do that i need a root. I rooted 5.1.1 with kernel SpaceX-Kernel-v0.1_N920P(official).tar and all seemed ok. Then i noticed that you could root marshmallow. I followed a tutorial on youtube and flashed two files through twrp no-verify-opt-encrypt.zip and SuperSU zip. I rebooted the phone and now i have a persistent problem. After around 15-30 seconds my phone shuts off and reboots itself. I have tried reflashing stock roms and the problem still persists. I have no idea if i have broken the phone as its usable until it shuts off . I went into the about phone section and it tells me the baseband and software versions are unknown aswell. Is there anyway to recover this?
Let the battery die completely and then it will work fine again afterwards

This has solved the issue. Many thanks ! :laugh:
So I have a Galaxy S10 verizon that was working fine, was up to date with all updates and etc and all of a sudden it decided to keep on freezing then reboot. Figuring it was a software issue I already have done the following with no luck
-Wiped cache
-Ran in safe mode
-Full wipe restore of the system
None of them have worked so I then proceeded to obtain the combination files and have reloaded the phone fresh using Odin new figuring it was a corruption in the software.
After it successfully finished loading the problem is still present after about 30 seconds after rebooting the phone. I don't know what else I can do next besides playing around with a custom rom maybe to see if the reboot loop is still present.
Any Ideas what else I can do or try?
Phone is in perfect condition, never dropped, no water damage, never flashed anything to the phone and was running just the stock verizon firmware. Phone doesn't even has a scratch in it...
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
If a data factory reset in recovery didn't work nor flashing stock firmware with ODIN, then it's probably hardware related and thus you will need to claim insurance if you have it with your carrier or warranty thru Samsung if it's still in warranty.
