[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asmd6230:
Hi,

I plugged my note 4 into the OEM charger and all of a sudden it just goes into a bootloop continuously.

Occasionally it will reach the home screen and reboot again, but more often than not.. it reboot before the Sprint logo comes up.

Was fine before i plugged it in and was trouble free prior to that.

My phone is stock, not rooted.

The fact that it will reboot even at the Note 4 welcome sign is leading me to believe this could be a hardware issue...

Any ideas?

Anybody had the same situation and had luck troubleshooting or fixing this?

Any and all help i much appreciated...

Regards,

asmd.

Can you boot into recovery?

First thing I'd try is to pull battery, boot into stock recovery and wipe cache and try to boot.

If not booting, try wiping cache and dalvik.

You have the option to just take it in for evaluation but you should determine if you have reactivation lock enabled before doing anything else.

Still not booting? Factory reset. But if you have reactivation lock enabled that is not a good idea. It would be better if one of the two above booted the phone.

If reactivation lock is enabled, you need to install the same update the phone is on to prevent factory reset protection from activating. Don't factory reset yet; Odin or taking in for service may be your only option. If it boots, you should be able to open with same unlock method as before.

If you have reactivation lock disabled, you're free to try factory reset or update to latest through KIES. I've heard Samsung Switch may work too. You could also factory reset and update or emergency recover with one of those.

If still not booting, if it just updated, I'd mention that and not the charger you mentioned. It could be corrupt memory due to battery failing or bad update. The eMMC may be failing too.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asmd6230:
Thanks for the reply...

Ive been messing with it all morning... and if i leave it a lone and it cools, it will last a little longer than when it becomes warm, rebooting quicker and quicker.

i managed to get into recover and did a factory reset and cleared cache.

it has made no difference.

The longest time its gone before rebooting is the lock screen.... and the it reboots again.

as it warms, it eventually wont even get past the Note 4 welcome screen before rebooting.. and then finally freezing and will require a battery pull.

Makes no difference if its on charge or off.

i have a sinking feeling about this.....
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Could be terminal but you haven't tried to flash firmware on partitions with Smart Switch, KIES or Odin yet. Right? You can check the phone status while in download mode to verify reactivation lock is disabled.

Try one of those on PC or take it to Sprint to have it flashed again.

If you purchased at Best Buy and they have a Samsung Experience kiosk, they can do that too. Dunno, maybe it doesn't matter if you purchased there or not but they've flashed my phone a couple of times.

I've tried to guide you down the path of least effort to restore your, if possible. There's still some hope of recovery.

Edit: Your battery could be suspect. Let it cool and plug in to make sure it's at least 60% or higher. If the battery is near a year old, I'd suggest fully charging but get a replacement if you frequently discharge it to 15% or lower. Especially if you use fast charging.

But you've most likely discharged it with all that reboot activity and heating up. Kudos to you if you're managing all that and keep a healthy battery. Otherwise, the battery may be contributing to or causing your issues.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asmd6230:
thank you for the help..

reactivation lock is off.

i can't get it to reliably not reboot anywhere in any screen.. only screen that will stay on for any period of time is recovery... but the phone stays cool.

Its not the battery, i have two, and both do the same thing.. the battery does not get warm, area that gets warm is neft to the battery below the sd card slot. (sd card removed).

Frequency of hang/reboot seems to be related to how warm that area gets.

The most i have managed to do is get into my phone past the lockscreen and it will shortly freeze and reboot as it warms up.. it will reboot at the note 4 welcome screen or sprint logo... and repeat... eventually to hang.

Both batteries are charged fully using the external charger. (samsung oem)

Shame, not a scratch on her....

Oh well, on to Ebay for parts/AS IS and time to move on...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Even if doubtful, I'd still take it back to Sprint or place of purchase.

The Note 4 has a bit of history with eMMC failure. It's even happened with updates and Samsung and Sprint is apparently aware of it. A while back I saw that listed as an ongoing carryover of known issues that needed resolution.

I don't have true stats on exchanges but several users here have repeatedly gotten deals on replacement phones, paying a small percentage when they failed- similar to yours.

OTA updates have also been suspect to cause eMMC failure. But honestly, l don't know what causes this: bad hardware or updates? Maybe it's just bad hardware not taking updates well? Nonetheless, I don't know if I've just been lucky or my hardware is stable. Still going strong here with no hint of failure.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asmd6230:
can i still take it back even though its out of warranty?

No promises. Couldn't hurt. If you don't like the answer you get from first Sprint store, try another.

I would mention that bit of history with the updates.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsm_gsx97:
I have the exact same issue going on with my wives phone. Just started yesterday out of no where rebooting over and over. Never really getting past the Samsung splash screen. She got an update like a week ago, but other than downloading a new app several hours earlier nothing sticks out to why its happening. I was able to once get into safemode, but the phone rebooted a minute into it and typically doesn't even get to the sprint splash screen when I've tried to do it since. It's totally stock and has not been unlocked or rooted. I thought it could be the battery since so many of these boot issues on the Note4 deal with that when googling, but my battery from my working Note4 in her phone does the same thing and her battery in my phone works just fine. I can get into the recovery options menu (volume up + home + power) and I can get into the download area (volume down + home + power) for loading bootloaders and such for long periods of time with no issues. I've cleared the cache with no luck. Haven't tried factory reset yet because I want to try to recover the photos and stuff first. Searching for the issue on google I came across this software (android-recovery.net/android-recovery-mode.html#two) where I was able to use the download area and connect the phone with this app which used its own bootup and it was able to show me all the files on the phone for recovery so we could retrieve them. It wanted $50 to complete the process though and, knowing the advances that everyone here has made on their phones I decided to decline that and search these forums for a way to just access the file directory of my the phone and retrieve my wives stuff prior to factory resetting it. I believe something is wrong with the bootloader of the phone and that is why it cannot get to the android OS to start up, but I could be wrong. Reading various articles made me to believe that if I just were to unlock the phone for rooting that possibly that could fix this issue with the bootloader or at least be able to recover her photos and stuff. I do have insurance on the phone and could get it fixed or replaced, but that would be a $200 deductible I believe and first thing they're going to try is factory resetting the phone which will lose her data we're trying to save.

It almost seems as if I were to get TWRP installed that I'd be able to access the files without the need of loading any ROMs. But I'm not sure if that will work in my case or erase data when I do it. The threads I'm reading aren't clear on that part. I would really be grateful if anyone could help me out with figuring out the easiest way to recover her stuff or get it working. Its been a long time since I've unlocked any phones and they were all iPhones back in the day when they were only on AT&T and I had T-mobile and wanted to it work.

[MENTION=7767913]dsm_gsx97[/MENTION]

I would suggest you try Odin and install the same update, if possible. That may be the most likely to retain your data if it's not corrupted.

Unfortunately, I don't think TWRP recovery works for Note 4 to copy data to PC. But if you go with that, know that it will trip Knox and void factory warranty. But if that's not an issue, you could copy data from internal memory to extSdCard to salvage it if it's not corrupt or private.

I know KIES has an emergency firmware recovery mode that may offer to reprogram it. But you may lose your data. Not sure but I think your phone has to booted into system to backup with KIES or Smart Switch?

This thread has the recent available stock tars, Odin and general instructions to get you started.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsm_gsx97:
Thank you very much for the quick response. I would rather not void my factory warranty in case I have to use the insurance to replace it so it sounds like TWRP is out which is why I didn't use it yet because I was worried about that. I did try KIES and it said that firmware upgrade and initialization would erase all data. So I ruled out using that too. I did notice while in the recovery menu of her phone that it says she's on N910PVPU1ANIE ...so I put my phone in recovery menu and I'm on N910PVPU4DPH4. Googling her version it looks like hers is very old and mine is fairly new which makes sense because I did the update a few days ago also. I wonder if hers is so old because that's what the other software program put it on to be able to bootload it to recover the files.

Anyways looking at your link I think I'll try oden with one of the more recent TARs after getting her stuff off with that program. Yes I'll just pay the $50 for peace of mind. I really appreciate your advice. Its not easy gathering all the answers without really being involved on this forum so thank you for that thread. None of the TARs listed is the update I have, but that shouldn't matter should it? As long as its a newer one than what it says she has?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Was it only the OTA update that updated that phone?

NIE is the original-initial release of the Note 4. If OTA tried to update it, it must have failed?

Nonetheless, you should know the history of that phone. I wouldn't install one of those recent updates until you've backed up your data. You may lose your data jumping to a much newer update.

The phone doesn't boot at all? If it does boot, you could run Phone Info for Samsung from Google Play to see what the partitions are actually at. That would help to recover that data if possible to do so. But also KIES could backup data if it boots.

The NIE stock tar is in post #2 of this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56853325&postcount=1

If it boots after Odin, your data may be OK. If not, may be corrupted data or partition.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsm_gsx97:
She's done plenty of updates over the last few years since we got the phoens. In fact she did that last update a few days before I did. That's why I was confused when I noticed what it said at the top of the bootloader screen for her update version. The phone does not boot at all. Only to the the Samsung splash screen and never gets to the sprint splash screen. It initially would get further, but now doesn't at all. I went ahead and paid for that software and have now backed up all her stuff. Was hoping to fix it without factory resetting the phone. At this point at least I have a backup, but ideally it would save her from losing all her texts and other crap.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
In that case, try the most recent stock tar in the first thread you were about to try.

Something seems off but trying to flash the original stock tar would be problematic if it was updated beyond Android 5.0

If it doesn't boot, you'll most likely have to factory reset it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Justhere4GO:
Ok, so here is an explanation of what I have going on here. My ultimate goal is to install Magisk on my phone (Running Kitkat 4.4) . I have learned that in order to do that, I need to install a custom recovery on my phone. I have learned that normal custom recoveries cannot be installed on AT&T phones because they have double locked bootloaders or something of that nature, but that Safestrap can work around it. So after finding all that out I successfully installed Safestrap then went on to install Magisk, but when I tried to install the zip, I was told that it is only compatible with Android 5.0 minimum. Fast-forward, I install Lollipop 5.0 on my phone successfully. I then go back and install safestrap, however it appears that it is now not compatible with my upgraded kernel and will not show me the custom recovery on startup... So it seems as if Safestrap will only work for me on Kitkat, but what I need it to do I can only do on Lollipop. Am I simply out of luck, or is there some cleaver way around this?

I appreciate any help I can get on the matter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] johnkirchner:
Did you root your phone while on KK? If not, you may be out of luck now. There are a few lollipop rooted rooms that will work and you can keep using SS but you must already be rooted. Mine is still rooted with SS, I am not upgrading for the foreseeable future.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Justhere4GO:
Yes, I rooted my phone while still on KK, then I used Flashfire to upgrade to LP which allowed me to still keep root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] johnkirchner:
Unfortunately I am not sure why SS isn't working for you, not sure if the lollipop Rom you installed is having issues with it or what? As for the locked boot loader, these phones are like fort Knox. SS is merely a bypass that does not replace an unlocked boot loader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] captivated1971:
Ok so if you have three of these four things it should work for you depending if your running a g900a or 870a ,1. you will need the kernel flasher ,900a takes nce kernel flasher , 870a requires ng3 kernal flasher , these are model specific. 2. Busybox installed . 3. Safestrap. 4 safetrap flashable kernels.zips. install busybox, install whichever specific kernel flasher you have per your model, install safetrap. Make sure you have the flashable kernel zip for lollipop on external sd for safe keeping. Cuz if you wipe internal sd for any reason and the zip you will have to resort to the odin flashable versions and odin. Then flash kk kernel with flasher apk then you should enter ss ,flash install magisk then install again the recovery flashable kernel .zip for lollipop and then reboot back into lollipop. All good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Justhere4GO:
Alright, now we're getting somewhere. So I downloaded NCE Kernel Flasher (I have 900a), along with the G900A_OC4_Stock_KERNEL_Recovery-Flashable.zip file. So is that file the stock kernel for Lollipop to bring me back after using the program? From what the instructions say, it looks like the NCE Kernel Flasher already comes with the Kitkat kernel in it, but I am still not certain I am reading this correctly.

My second question is about the Magisk program itself if you have any insight on that which you could offer. It is recommended that it be installed on a stock rom, and I believe I need to be unrooted when I put it on to make it work correctly. So while I'm in the safestrap recovery via NCE Flasher, should I do a factory reset first, then flash magisk, then flash the stock kernel zip?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] captivated1971:
Really i havent messed with magisk at all so i cant say anything about that . But yes after you flash it or install it just go back to the install button and install the kernel zip to get you back to lollipop. Then reboot. And yes they are only stock kernels because the bootloader wont let us use custom kernels

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

But on your second question i dont see how you can install it and not be rooted . Because you have to be rooted to have ss running.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Justhere4GO:
Ok, thanks. I successfully booted up into SS mode. I made a backup just in case I need it, then did a factory reset. I chose my Magisk file through the install option, and confirmed it for installation. But now is shows that it is flashing the file, but I have been stuck on the same screen for roughly 20 minutes so far, with no progress on the status bar. From all of the videos I've seen, it looks like this flashing procedure shouldn't take longer than a minute or so, and I fear that something has gone wrong. I know I need to flash my Lollipop kernal back prior to leaving SS, but if my phone is indeed frozen, if I take out the battery and power it up, will I still get a SS Recovery prompt prior to my Samsung logo popping up so I can restore the backup and my correct kernel, or am I on the path to bricksville?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Justhere4GO:
So I did just take out the battery, and was able to get back into custom recovery and restore my backup. I tried to install magisk a few more times to no avail. (Kept saying installing but never progressed) My only thought is that maybe because Magisk is not compatible with Kitkat, I would need to update the kernel back to lollipop first before installing magisk. My concern though is, if that is not what the issue is, then restoring my kernel will keep me from being able to re-enter custom recovery to restore my data if I need to. Does that sound like it could be a plausible reason that the file will not install?

Also, if I do attempt to update the kernel in SS, should I still be able to use Odin to restore a stock rom if I have to pull the battery on my device again due to it freezing during installaion? (I've only used Odin twice, so I'm not 100% sure of it's capabilities).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] captivated1971:
Hows it goin? Sorry i dont pop in all the time here . Yes odin will work fine everytime as long as its all stock .but it will wipe everything again except external sd card . So if you saved a backup to internal sd it will be wiped . If you saved to ext sd it will still be there if you have to odin . And everything else will be gone also like ss and kernal flasher and all itll be pure stock again also will erase root.

---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------

Everything is returnable from on these phones unless you update the bootloader past oc1. Then no root . Even if you hardbrick where it will hardly do nothing but make a sound when plug it to your computer is fixable . But it is a lengthy process and hope you two of them to be able to fix the other or do the right method and be able to flash an image to an sdcard to get you into download mode .lol unless you brick it and just sell it to me for 5 bucks lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Justhere4GO:
Ok, good to know. I retried booting into SS, reinstalling lollipop kernel, then installing Magisk, but it still froze without any progress. I think the problem is that I the phone is rooted, and Magisk may only be able to be installed on an unrooted phone (It is meant to replace traditional root with a systemless version that can be toggled on and off). But like you said, I cannot get into my custom recovery unless I'm rooted, so that is the predicament I currently find myself in. I actually tried to uninstall root via SuperUser, but that also froze from me when it showed it was supposed to be uninstalling. I'm not sure if that is due to my phone being rooted on KitKat, and that carrying it over into Lollipop ingrained it to the point where I cannot easily take it out. Anyways, it's looking pretty grim for me being able to install this on my device, but I think I may have to go lurking around in a Magisk forum for my next lead.

Anyways, I really appreciate your help in the matter leading me to how to run SS on Lollipop; I'm sure it will come in hand in the future! :)

make sure flashfire is installed and updated and busybox is updated and supersu is installed and updated

then download dob1 firmware for s5 tmobile g900t on sammobile.com

then put it on your device then

open flashfire app and click flash firmware and select dob1 g900t firmware

then choose system and click checkmark
