i reinstalled the latest firmware released this month (G900TTMB1GPI1) and immediately had the same problems. so i went back and reinstalled the previous firmware that i used that solved the problem temporarily (G900TTMB1GPG2). It rebooted into bootloop in the middle of setup. im really confused...

really frustrated with this boot loop defect. it's affected thousands of people across the world and samsung has yet to really acknowledge it as a factory defect. if it occurs after the warranty you have to either pay them to fix it with no guarantee that it will stay fixed for good, or if you...

I wanted to revisit this thread with and update on the status of my girlfriend's galaxy s5. After getting it working again, it lasted about a week or two without the problem recurring. I haven't pushed it too hard, and removed all but a few apps, but over the past couple months it's just gotten...

ok will do. theres no sd card anyway. the phones didnt come with them, which i thought was weird since every other phone ive had for the past 10 years did.

ok since i already did the factory reset, reinstall firmware, and wipe cache, ill use it for a little while and see if there's any particular actions that make it reboot. so far just that one occurrence when opening the messages app. ill report my results and if there are further problems i...

ok sorry to post so much in one night but here's what happened. i decided to wipe the cache and try booting again. it went all the way though android install and brought up the setup options screens. i got to the "EULA" screen and it rebooted again. got to the same screen and it rebooted once or...

Just a thought, i could try to reinstall firmware from an earlier version. i dont know which one i would use though: Firmware for Samsung SM-G900T - SamMobile does the pda or csc have to match?

I flashed the stock firmware and still it started doing the same thing. it never got past the tmobile screen. i dont know what else to do. what should be my next course of action?

does it matter which version of odin i use to reinstall the firmware? the sammobile site says v3.11.1 but the forums instructions say v3.10.7. the latest version available looks like v3.12.3. dont know if it matters

im going to try to take it to tmobile and see if they can fix it, maybe theyll tell me the same thing. i cant believe the warranty isnt the same. a $600 phone(that im still paying for btw) should work 2 years AT LEAST. people shouldnt be forced to buy a new smartphone every year. this phone was...

Wiped the cache, didn't work. Did a factory reset and still wont even boot up past the t-mobile screen. i looked up a samsung service location but it doesn't show any near me. called the hotline and they told me i had to send it in for repair. phones not even 2 years old, never dropped it or got...

My Galaxy S5 running 6.0.1 marshmallow restarts during use and just gets stuck at the Samsung start screen. I always have to take out and reinsert my battery to get it to work again. It happens randomly while using various apps, never while idle. Always does it while updating apps. I've tried...
