Hey Guys,
Since upgrading to android 10 (using the star wars firmware) I have been unable to utilize my galaxy friends case (Iron man edition). I did not have it installed prior to upgrading to android 10, and upon connecting the case the installation screen popped up, but after beginning the theme install it locked up. after 15 minuets of this I hard reset the phone, and now it does not even prompt me that I connected the case.
has anyone else had issues with these cases since upgrading, and does anyone know a workaround to force the installation to start?

Hi, I have a Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (2013 edition) on Stock Android 4.4 Kit Kat and I've had a problem for a while now. The problem is that my phone and tablet reboot themselves and then works normally for 10 seconds to a minute when it boots up and it crashes and reboots itself, and it keeps doing that, over and over. It's a loop. It starts when my phone reboots on itself and on my Nexus 7 it will disconnect from my home Wifi and if you reboot the tablet, it does the same thing. This is my 5th time with this problem and I can't find out why it happens. This has happened to me since I've had Android 4.3. I have always fixed this by leaving both devices off a day or two and then It would work like normal. Then the problem would disappear for a few weeks and then the problem would repeat itself. This has happened to me on Paranoid Android on 4.3 but never on stock until now. I thought it was a problem on Paranoid Android but now I see it's a problem of my devices. I'm actually on Android 4.4 when I got this problem again. I actually left both devices off for 2 days and it still has the same problem. I don't think it's because of any apps because it actually crashed on me right after I did a factory reset to my phone on the setup screen. Can someone please help me?
Hi guys,
A friend of mine Samsung Galaxy Nexus is blocked in the boot sequence and I would like to help him out. The phone has (or at least had..) Paranoid installed, my friend doesn't know what it is or how it works, he just bought a secondhand phone on ebay and Paranoid was already installed.
Here is the problem: some days ago the phone restarted automatically after a sort of crash, so my friend entered in the bootloader screen (using the 3 combo buttons) and did a reset or restore idk, removing all the data on the phone. When the phone restarted it could not connect to the provider (no call and no messages allowed), so my friend downloaded whatsapp using wifi. During the log in it is like if the battery dropped and the phone turned off.
Since that moment if you try to turn on the phone it starts but blocks after few seconds on the "Google screen", the one with black background and the text Google in the middle of the screen (it doesn't reach the screen with the google symbol spinning around) and it remains there eternally. I tried to enter in the bootloader screen but the only option available is "Start", and obviously if I select it the phone restarts and blocks again on the same google boot screen. In my opinion probably Paranoid is damaged or has been removed, so there is no OS to start.
Does anyone has an idea/suggestion/guide on how can I make the phone working again? It would be great to be able to install again an official Android release (kitkat, jelly bean or something like that), but the priority is obviously to repair the phone!
Thank you in advance!
Same problem here

Not sure as I haven't seen anyone mention these, but they are small, any idea what is in them?

I'm about to open a thread about this, but I applied these updates (I assume because they also were small and came in as 3 updates) the other night to my rooted phone and ended up soft bricking my phone. The phone wouldn't load up past the initial logo screen and then go blank. This might be something to be careful of.
Hi there, I have a locked AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Edge (SM-N915A) that is experiencing issues after the Marshmallow upgrade (6.0.1). I have had the following issues:
--> phone freezes (will not wake after wallet is closed and then opened);
--> the phone will randomly re-boot;
--> if phone is awake, the response times have been very slow;
--> Issue seems to occur more often when charging
The only method to remedy the issue is to remove the battery and then power back on. I have wiped cache and factory reset the unit but still experience the same issues. I went to Samsung desk at Best Buy and they re-flashed the operating system but this did not fix the issue. I finally narrowed down the issue to the Samsung Gear application (I have the new Frontier Gear S3). When this application is not running the issue seems to disappear (although still testing). I am attempting to pinpoint whether NumberSync is causing the issue or the application itself. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Update: while writing this email, my unit just re-booted when I woke it up
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....
Update to issue...
I attempted another factory reset. Again, once I installed the Samsung Gear application and proceeded to setup my Gear S3 wearable, the phone started to "act up". Details on setting up Frontier Gear S3...
--> Downloaded/Installed Samsung Gear application
--> Used "Connect to New Phone" to setup Gear S3
--> Setup and Activated NumberSync
After this process, phone response time was sluggish and then froze. I pulled the battery, and then uninstalled the Samsung Gear application, and the phone seemed to recover. After some careful thought, I performed a complete factory reset on my Gear S3 wearable (in lieu of using "Connect New Phone"), then, I re-installed the Samsung Gear application. The phone seemed to be functioning as normal. I proceeded to setup NumberSync and again, the phone was still functioning as normal for most of the day. In the evening, I setup the wearable (added back watch faces, setup S Health, added localized weather and setup notifications). The phone still seemed to be fine. I plugged the phone in to charge (fast charge) and left the phone alone. Came back several hours later and the phone had froze. I concluded that my issue is directly related to the Samsung Gear application although I am continuing to test.
UPDATE 4/5/2017 - After experiencing 2 weeks of freezing, slow response times, removing the battery, numerous re-boots and factory resets my phone finally died (would not power on). I finally succumbed to calling Samsung Customer Care. I sent my Note 4 in for servicing on March 29th. Here is the response: Problem found: NO POWER UP - IF/CHARGING PORT - FWT - LOW BATTERY (STBY) Solution: REPLACED PBA - REPLACED COMPONENT. I think this means they changed out the motherboard and also replaced my battery. My Note 4 is performing flawlessly thus far. The only issue I have is the timing of all of this....I started having problems directly after the Marshmallow (AT&T 6.0.1) upgrade. My wife and son have the same phone, bought at the same time, and are also having issues but not as profound as mine.
Maybe it has something to do with the notifications on the Gear? My phone was aggressively rebooting after a notification from Hangouts would arrive. I have the Gear Fit 2.
I was just about to give up on this phone today, but I'm hoping that removing the Gear app may stop the freezes.
Followup from earlier. Nope, removing the Gear app for me didn't fix my phone. I'm not getting reboots, but it is still freezing up. Sorry dude/ dudette. I think I'm going to have to bow out of the Note 4. It was a great phone for me.
Same happen today to my SM-N910A. It happened after half of a year successful run with 6.0.1.
Erasing cache and factory reset bring no results.
Unfortunately the phone looks slow even in recovery. Is it a hardware failure?

I've been having the same issue for the past year after the update to 5 and i've researched and purchased 5 new batteries as that somewhat made the issue better but it freezes sometimes up to 10 times a day. currently i can't get it to actually boot. usually i can get it working but i'm so upset with theis phone. for the 1st year it was great. purchased dec of 2014 on the ATT Next plan. I think i have 1 more payment but there are no phones ATT offers that I like. I'm calling Samsung.
Hi,
So a few months ago I regrettably decided to try and root my Samsung Galaxy s7. It did not go well, and from the feedback from the firm I sent it for software repairs, apparently a second partition was created which caused start-up issues. They said they fixed it and for a few months the phone worked well. Until now.
The phone refuses to startup. It is currently plugged into the mains and showing a steady 51% (which I know from previous experience will be the maximum it reaches) If I press the power button it goes through the loading screen (the animated Samsung logo) then shuts off, then tries again and again never making it past this point.
The things I've tried:
Tried every kind of reset
Run the restart process with every combination of sim card, sd card and lackthereof
I remember that the guy that fixed my phone offhandedly commented that he could see the issue on his PC, presumably via a software of some-sorts. Anybody know what this could be?
So, nothing seems to work and in a last bid of desperation I googled the issue and came across this website.
Perhaps a kind Samaritan here might know how to fix my issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are at wrong forum. If you are new to XDA, then let me tell you, XDA has device specific forums, means we are discussing only one device here, help for other devices will not be provided on different device forum.
Click the following link, it's Galaxy S7 (see guide section, it will have flashing guide of Stock ROM) : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7
