Ok, so my Galaxy S4 mini running Samsung software crashed couple of days ago: apps stopped working, decided to reboot, didn't seem to reboot, or accidentally used power off, turned it on, message 'Android update. Optimizing app x from y. This stopped halfway, and it went into a continuous reboot, showing the Samsung splash screen and the rebooting etc etc.
Some Googleing later I tried all kinds of stuff, but what basically seems to be the problem, is I don't have a recovery partition. When booting to recovery, it just show the blue 'Recovery booting...' screen, half a second or less of what seems to be Android bot loading something (too quick to see exactly), resulting with the Android bot lying on his side, red exclamation mark and 'No command'. And then it reboots.
I have tried all different kinds of flashing, with Samsung software from sammobile.com, I tried Cyanogenmod, but it all fails. Either loading the software fails or after loading a recovery image, it just will not boot to recovery.
Not sure what to do now, any hints are more than welcome..
Cheers,

ok, so my tab keeps restarting. heres what is going on
it started popping up this error of systemui has stopped followed by a few others cant remember off the top of my head.
thats not the real issue though, the problem is every time i tap "ok" my tab restarts itself.
i have wiped everything and restored with kies, i have have wiped everything and installed every rom i could find on the net and nothing works. it just constantly restarts and sometimes it just stays on the boot logo untill the battery dies or i power it down. i can flash twrp and flash any rom to it with no problem download mode works fine i have flashed roms with kies, odin, and through recovery, nothing gets it going. please any help would very appreciated
Watch was working great for few weeks and then suddenly I started getting lots of error message stating "Android Wear has Stopped". So i tried to reset my watch, after the restart the watch was not getting past spinning color screen. I even tried couple of hours but nothing happened.
I went through some of the forum topics and tried to flash Boot, Recovery and System with the stock images. Now the issue seems to be different, whenever the system boots I get a image of Android System chest open with a red alert symbol on it.
I am able to login to Fastboot and Recovery mode, tried the same process multiple times. But still not able to get pass the latest error. I tried to TRWP recovery, Stock Recovery and tried to reset my watch. But nothing seems to fix the issue. Any guidance on how to fix this will be really helpful.
Do let me know if I am doomed also...Hope it is not the case...
Hey guys,
So I've been running on stock EPD1 and everything had been running smoothly. Last night my phone randomly shut down, even though it was at full battery. After trying to restart it, I got stuck in almost a boot loop. It would boot, and during the Samsung animation, it would freeze and restart. This would happen twice until the phone gave up I guess and the phone stays at a black screen with either a constant blue LED, or a blinking whitish-purple LED. I have tried using ODIN to flash back to stock EPD1 and EPF1. Both were successful in ODIN, but didn't solve anything. I can flash TWRP, but flashing any ROMs doesn't help. Wiping Data, System, Cache, and formatting hasn't done anything as well. I also used the Smart Switch and Kies emergency software recovery and initialization features. Again, both said they were successful, but didn't change anything. Sometimes the boot gets to the point where it says "Android is optimizing apps," but once that finishes, it crashes again. Am I 100% screwed? Thanks to anyone that can offer some advice.
Small update: After using the emergency recovery feature in Kies once more, the phone booted to the green "Android is starting..." screen and it counted through 35 apps and said it was starting. It crashed at that point. Not sure if that's progress.
The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (GT-I9195). I believe it was originally on the EE network, but then used on the Three network. I'm not sure if it needed to be unlocked for this to happen, or if it was purchased unlocked.
Starting with the phone switched off in each scenario below:
If I switch the phone on, it vibrates once and the Samsung logo appears. It then goes into an indefinite loop of vibrating twice, and the Samsung logo appearing, vibrating twice, etc.
If I plug the phone in, the battery appears with the grey circle inside. Without me doing anything, it goes straight to the Samsung logo, and then to the aforementioned indefinite loop.
If I switch the phone on, holding the home button and volume up to enter recovery mode, it goes to a sick robot with 'No Command' underneath and some text that reads 'Manual mode, appling [SIC?] Multi-CSC..,. Applied the CSC-code: BTU, Successfully applied multi-CSC'
I'm not sure what the 'correct' firmware to flash is for the phone or how to find out. I have flashed some 'BTU' 'stock' firmware a couple of times using ODIN; the result is 'PASS' but the boot loop continues. I have also flashed TWRP recovery using ODIN; the result is also 'PASS', but the boot loop persists as before after launching recovery mode.
Similar posts have been raised before, but I've never seen it answered.
Why is this happening, and how do I fix the problem?
Thanks.
Hello,
i wanted to root my A50. I watched a Tutorial (
) and i am stuck at 5:02 in the Booting screen (just the Samsung logo). Everytime after a while of showing the booting screen it restarts and shows: "The Phone is not running samsungs official software. You may have problems with features or security. and you wont be able to download Software updates". Then after a while it shows the booting screen again. This repeats all the time. I already googled and found nothing that can help me.
I hope anyone can help me
press the power button multiple times until it vibrates
