Hey all,
I have a SM-G900W8 from Rogers, about 2 years old. Until recently I was on Android 5.0, rooted with TWRP, and I decided to go back to stock using Kies because my phone was becoming extremely slow and random apps would sometimes force close. I wiped all partitions and did the firmware recovery. As soon as I booted up the stock firmware, apps were force closing right on the Welcome to Galaxy screen. Google Play Services, Samsung Push services, you name it. I was able to close enough of the dialogs to get into the device and use it for a few days where it was mostly stable, but still force closing any app you could think of and randomly rebooting.
Then a couple days ago, I was in the middle of a text message, the screen shut off, it vibrated for about 8 seconds, and the phone would never boot again. Did another Kies recovery, this time from another computer to make sure it wasn't a bad download, and now I'm back to the same thing. Phone reboots on its own all the time, random apps force close, and it's pretty much unusable. I suspect there's something wrong with the RAM or the flash storage, but is there anything else this could possibly be? Any advice would be much appreciated.
