Hi,
First of all sorry if this is not the right place to post this, this is closest I could find for this phone.
So I was not flashing or messing with the phone in any way, it just went into boot loop and stuck there. I removed battery and waited for hours, didn't help. How can I fix it? Samsung Wave GT-S8500 also known as 8500. Got it in Middle East.
IIRC, it was updated to Bada 2.0, not sure.
I can go to download mode though.
Best,

I'm not a noob, but not exactly a ROM flashing god either. I bought a used SIII and after trying a few ROMs decided to go back to stock for a bit and possibly sell it. I flashed the LEM firmware and it got stuck at the samsung "pulsing" logo, so I flashed the LK3 and got the same thing. So now I am kinda stuck in no man's land. It will boot and give me the swirling Samsung logo and then the AT&T dripping planet logo and then stops at the pulsing Samsung logo. For $h1ts and giggles, I tried flashing TWRP through Odin and of course that didn't help. Tried going through the toolkit and because I can't put the phone into developer mode, that doesn't work either. I'm assuming that even though I made some stupid mistakes here it should still be salvageable given that it is booting and being recognized by my PC. Am I SOL or can I make this thing work? Open to any suggestions and thoughts.
Thanks!
Boot into the stick recovery after Odin and do a factory reset, reboot then profit

can you access Recovery Mode? if so, wipe data, cache and reboot.
I'm good now. I guess I just panicked a little. Need to be able to sell this one so I can buy a new toy soon. Not sure exactly what made it work (I flashed the recovery boot image from the toolkit) among all the things I tried, but I was eventually able to boot into recovery and wiped and reinstalled Quantum. Thanks for the fast replies.
Hi,
a friend of mine had an issue with his Gnote 3 Neo (N7505XEF). Restart again and again and again.
I saw it and I said that I was able to fix it.
Went to recovery, wipe data/cache.
Reboot, and phone starts an update of sytem.
Before the end, bootloop on "galaxy note 3 lite" screen. Noway to have "samsung" bootanimation.
I ask him if he had installed an app recently. No for 4/5 days, and no issue since.
An OTA came sometimes ago and no issue with it.
So, I took his phone and expect to flash a stock firmware with odin. That what I've done with latest french firmware (5.1.1)
Reboot and.... bootloop
Sometimes, bootanimation "samsung" appears but doesn't go to the end of process, and restart the phone in "galaxy note 3 lite".
I wiped everything, test some others firmwares from 4.4.2 to 5.1.1.
I can always enter recovery and download mode, but the issue is usually the same, bootanimation doesn't finish.
I search everywhere but found nothing.
I remember with my old Gnote 2 that I had to install stock recovery once to solve a starting problem, but here, I can enter recovery, so I don't think that it is the same error.
Perhaps a kernel issue? I don't know, and I can't find them on the web!!
The phone has always been full stock, with no tweaks (root, custom recovery or rom....) The issue arrives without any signs. Hardware problem? Perhaps, but never been drown or wet....
What do you think I can do to solve this? Cause at the moment, I don't see haw I can!!
Thanks for all.

Excuse my bad english.
Keep trying and making a factory reset could help after installing a new rom. But I can't see more things.
Excuse my english, I'm french
Hi guys
I have an Lg g3 device unrooted for almost 30 months. Last night when the phone was sitting on the couch, I saw the LG logo and i thought the phone did one of the random surprise. Anyway it didn't load the OS for almost 15 mins. I hard resetted the phone, i deleted everything and restarted. Then i had Android is starting and Applications are optimizing. I got the Setting section. boom phone restarted again and bootloop again. I took it to download mode, i had a clean installation with the recent official KDZ. and again optimizing, then boom again. The phone only passes the loading phase if i hard reset it or just flash the original KDZ . I select the language. Network option. Restarts. I tried 3 batteries. No luck. All batteries are working on other phones.
Any idea how i can fix it? I dont mind rooting the device. I need the device for 2 weeks. then i would be upgrading to another phone. I am going nutz. Please help!
Hello and sorry if this is the wrong category...
It's my first time making a thread on xda.
I've been looking for an answer for the past 2 hours, but I still have a bricked phone... As the title says, I can't enter the recovery mode anymore. I tried to do a factory reset (when I could enter the recovery mode) and the phone got stuck at erasing. Now I can't enter the recovery mode anymore. I downloaded a new firmware from sammobile for the SM-G925F. The firmware works since I used it on an other phone and everything worked just fine. The problem is, when I open Odin and add the .tar file to AP, it gets stuck at nand write and sometimes on boot.img. The phone isn't showing that it's downloading anything (it has no progress bar). At this point I have no idea what to do...
Some extra info that could be helpful:
The phone was bootlooping when I got to fix it;
I work in a kind of phone repair store where customers bring their phones for hardware and software repair. I do the software;
I've installed new firmwares on multiple phones and I never had something like this... Normally some time with google and xda could help me to find a working way to fix the problem, but as I said... I've been looking for 2 hours and the problem is still here;
I'm not a pro with Android and phones. I just like to learn new things and I'm still learning.
Could it be a hardware problem?
Can you show me your phone's download mode image to see where could be the problem?
Also, make sure you are flashing latest firmware, if you are downgrading it - than you will get such boot errors.
*Update*
I found out what was wrong. The eMMC chip was broken.
HELP PLEASE.Is there a way to flash or root AT&T Note 5,stuck in boot loop mode???
Hi to all
I'm member on XDA for a long time,but I really am a newbie considering rooting,flashing and messing with the phones.
Yesterday ,my At&t Samsung galaxy NOTE 5 restarted by itself and started doing that constantly.Maybe because the memory was almost full so the firmware didn't have enough space to run correctly ,I don't really know.
So I decided to do a FACTORY RESET in order to refresh the phone.I backed all up (it did restart few time while I did that but I managed to finish it).
After I did the factory reset and wiped the cache,I rebooted the phone and that is when the boot loop started.
Once or three times came back and started the phone up to the first settings (I managed to put in my google username e.t.c. but after a minute maybe it freezes and restarted by itself again)
I tried again another factory reset but the boot loop continues.I tried many time to turn it off,it restarted up to INSTALLING UPDATE......then tried to turn it off completely (Volume down+Power+Home button) and somehow I managed to turn it off.
I thought that I can come here and find the instructions on how to FLASH it with ODIN,but I couldn't find the stock firmware for AT&t Note 5.
Then I remembered (and read on internet) that the bootloader on AT&T phones is locked !!!!!
I searched some threads here for at least how to root it ,but I can't find anything clearly.
So I'm asking you for help: IS THERE ANY SAFE WAY THAT I CAN DO FLASH OR ROOT MY AT&T SAMSUNG NOTE 5 (EXPLAINED STEP BY STEP) IN ORDER TO MAKE MY PHONE WORK AGAIN????
I have never before messed with the phone.It has the original stock firmware Android 7.0 Nougat.
And the phone is bought in USA,but I live in EUROPE and have unlocked it ,by buying some code online, few years ago.It was working fine until yesterday.
Thank you in advance guys I hope that someone might help me.

Guys I found here some older version (few months older) of Android 7 for my Note 5 and I managed to do a flash. The flashing went OK I went through settings and after few minutes the phone freezes again and restarts. And then again the same,it works fine for a few minutes,freezes and restarts (I can here the camera working inside sometimes too)...........CAN ANYONE HELP ME REPAIR MY PHONE ,PLEASE ???
Hi again
I don't know why no one is replying to me???
Today I managed to make the settings and power up the phone,restored the back up....the phone is working,BUT the PROBLEM is that it constantly freezes and reboots by itself.Sometimes it works for few minutes and reboots,sometimes it works for 30min and then it reboots,sometimes longer...
What might be the problem? Is it some hardware problem processor ,memory or maybe bad battery? It is older model and I have noticed with Accu Battery that most likely the battery haslowered it's capacity.It drains faster,sometimes when it comes to 15% it drains very fast...
Can anyone help me diagnose the problem?
Thank you in advance
Try booting into Download Mode & flash a new stock firmware if all else fails, assuming u tried a factory reset first with no satisfaction. Guides are everywhere. I HTH

Thank you for your reply
I managed to flash the firmware few times,but the phone keeps freezing after some time and restarts.Sometimes it is stuck in the bootloop,sometimes it starts up to some point,freezes and restarts.
Could it be BAD BATTERY or is it something else?
If it is the battery problem,I will replace it,but I'm afraid that it might be someting else wrong.
What is your opinion?
