you're stuck in a bootloop. this can happen because of rooting errors, crashes or corrupt memory.
to fix a bootloop, you need to provide more information about your phone:
is it rooted/custom ROM?
what did you do/change before the bootloop happened?
does the phone contain valueable data that can't be lost?
if no, did you try unlocking the bootloader and flashing a recovery and a new ROM?
i'm happy to help but with this little info it's not enough yet...
regards, daniel =)
Not quite sure at all the phone was given to me to see if i could get it working again. So no theres nothing valuable on it it could be toltallg wipe and new installed

So today, While I was using it my phone suddently rebooted. Since then it could not boot back to android and is stuck at the google logo. I can still access CWM but even data wipe did'nt do any good.
Is there any way to save my phone ?

Yes, definitely. If you're able to access download mode or the custom recovery, the device is easily recoverable. By easily, I mean most users are able to complete the steps although some users require more time and labor than others.
When the device hangs at the initial boot logo screen, in your case the Google logo, this generally indicates an issue with either the kernel or the ramdisk. The simpliest solution is generally to flash a known good kernel which is compatible with the currently loaded ROM.
If you have a nandroid on hand of a previously known good working state, that would be the easiest to restore. If not, you'll want to find a known good working kernel which is compatiable with the currently loaded ROM. If you're unable to find this combination, a ROM and compatible kernel will need to be loaded.
The odd part of the situation is how it seemed to "randomly" reboot and encounter this issue. Without knowning the details of the custom software loaded, difficult to accurately speculate the root cause.
Hope that helps point in the right direction!
Thank you.
Since I didn't know how to push files from my computer to my phone and had already done a full wipe I flashed google factory image and it worked!!
Now evrithing is good.
Thank you one more time, it realymade me freak out...
you wont't brick your phone unless you somehow brick the bootloader, even then you might be able to recover
Was running stock ROM rooted and everything was fine until I restarted the phone today. Started to boot loop and hasn't stopped. I've tried restoring backups, installing a ROM fresh and nothing works, just endless boot loops.
What else can I do?
Edit: Did the second option in the link below and it worked like a charm:

Have you tried to go into recovery and did a "Factory Reset" yet?
That usually works.
Good luck!

Sounds like she's bricked unfortunately. Might have put an incorrect kernal or flashing something that wasn't supposed to. I bought a bestbuy warranty and it just saved me, because I made an incorrect flash. It was hard bricked. Nothing I did would fix it. Improper kernals can fry CPUs, and if you're odining your stock firmware from sammobile and it still is looping, chances are that's what's happened.

My Note 3 suffered a few random boot loops out of the box. Then it ended up in sheer boot loop hell soon after it was rooted. At first, I too thought I had done something wrong until seeing all the posts about unchecking "Always Allow Scanning".
After the phone spent a solid 12 hours rebooting over and over, never getting past the T-Mo splash screen, it finally came back up. I unchecked "Always Allow Scanning" in the WiFi settings, and it's been fine ever since.
It would get quite hot during the boot loops, almost too hot to touch, while draining the battery very quickly. I plugged it in and set it on the fan in the top of my computer tower to keep it from frying itself.

Is your Knox flag already tripped? If so, I have a guide somewhere in here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545009
I had same issue. Heimdall fixed it. Try it out, let me know. I have a lot of downloads, but no feedback. I need to know what other sorts of issues it can recover...
Recommendation though is to try the Bootloop recovery first just to get into a good recovery position, then wipe pretty much everything, and perform the stock restore.
When the stock restore hits, it runs its own little recovery script automatically fixing bootloop issues. You can root and do whatever else you want after that... Good luck.

Use odin to flash stock samsung firmware.
Download stock firmware from sammobile.com. Always flash firmwares that are meant for the model number of your device. Always make backup of everything first before playing around.
You will not regret backups.
BTW Hello and welcome.

There should be a tutorial at sammobile.com. As long as you can get into download mode(vol down, home, power buttons together), you should be fine. I found a youtube video which might help -

Nothing to worry just go to recovery mode by volume up key+home+power button then u you have to wipe data/factory/cache. then select reboot system now and in 2 or 3 minutes it would okay.

if this solutions not worked you should flash rom with 5 file on odin (modem,csc,bootloader,pit,pda).
it always work.
I was on 13B rooted, then flashed the stock system to return to unroot status. Everything worked fine. Plugged into computer and Verizon Upgrade Assistant suggested upgrade to 13C, so I bit. After a 4 hour (!) download of a 2 Gb file, the upgrade install proceeded without incident, and resulted in a successful completion according to the Assistant. Phone started booting and the Upgrade Assistant re-read the phone as being on 13C, but, the phone stalls and refuses to boot past the Verizon red splash screen. I have pulled battery and tried numerous times to boot, with no luck. It just sticks at the same spot.
Any suggestions? I'm nervous about re-flashing 13 B for fear of bricking it, so perhaps flash 13C kdz?
Thanks in advance for any help.
I have now tried flashing the 13C kdz unsuccessfully a number of times. I verified the checksum on the downloaded kdz file, and attempted to flash it on three separate computers where I had successfully flashed the G4 in the past. Each time that I tried flashing the 13C it reads: "Required Information cannot be found. Contact the system administrator."
I am still stuck here. Even in the flash tool, the phone is read as having 13C on it, but it still will not boot past the Verizon splash screen. Any thoughts on whether I should dare try flashing 13B, or would I end up with even more of a brick then I have now?
Thanks again.
DO NOT FLASH 13B!
Isn't Android 6 24c?
I got stuck on the Verizon screen, but a wipe fixed it at that point.

Thanks, and you are correct on the number, MM is 24C.
May I ask, how were you able to wipe when stuck on the Verizon splash screen? I would love to do that if possible.
Thanks again.

Hold volume down and power on if I remember correctly to put the phone in recovery mode. From there you can choose to do a wipe/factory reset.
I had issues with way long boot times, the wipe fixed that, but then apps kept FC. I ended up downloading the KDZ file and used the flash tool to reflash 24C. Everything is stellar now.
Thank you so much, mikeewhite! I followed your instructions and they worked perfectly, so I am back up and running. You are the reason that I love this list so much, as there are so many people like you generous with their time and advice.
I purchased a 5x for my wife so she can get on Project Fi. They said it was stuck boot looping, thinking I could solve the problem.
Here are the basics.
-Yes, I can get into boot loader (the menu of start, recovery, etc), but I can't get into TWRP. Tried flashing TWRP a few times and nothing. SkipSoft recognizes that its installed though.
-After bootlooping for awhile, it will load normally and work fine. However it wants to update to the newest version of android. I run the ota and back to bootlooping. It will show the android dude and say "error". Will eventually start bootlooping and then boot normally.
-I have flashed different stock versions. I tried the newest, the second to newest and the last M available. All will flash but continue the bootlooping.
Bootlooping can be anywhere from 1 minute to 10+.
The device will also first display something like, "Your device software can't be checked for corruptions. Please lock the bootloader"
But it'll show up whether the bootloader is locked or not.
The phone will freeze at some point. Whether right away or after 5 minutes. It freezes and then restarts and goes through the bootloop again.
So what else can/should I do? I've never dealt with Kernels but wondering if the last owner did something to them. Is there a way to flash stock kernels just incase or is this done when I flash a Google Factory Stock Image?
Would flashing a non-stock rom be a good idea?
Thanks
So I tried sideloading. I was able to get into the stock recovery. I tried wiping cache and data, then tried installing the newest stock rom.
Everything seemed to work. Then I had to restart. A message popped up after the same "Your device software can't be checked for corruptions. Please lock the bootloader". It had the title in blue stating "Encryption unsuccessful".
Then said, "Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible. To resume using your phone you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google Account."
Then there is a single button that says, "Reset Phone".
Problem still persists.
Help please...

When my Nexus 5x got into bootloop, I sent it to LG and they had to change the whole circuit. So yeah.
When you flash Google Factory Image, it flash the stock kernel.
If you have warranty, then send it to Google/LG. If you haven't got, then you're in problem. New motherboard needed, but it's expensive.
See the following thread for more info.

Exactly. Everyone has either been able to get a replacement under warranty or was pretty much screwed if it was out of warranty.
