Hi guys, can you help a little. Has anyone had the following problem. Something happened to the phone as it worked and started to reboot itself. I reset it to factory settings, installed the latest version of the software through Odin, but it started to reboot again. Is it possible to have a hardware problem? Any ideas?

Hi there, i got a strage issue: since yesterday my phone began to restart about 20 seconds after it startup.
The strange thing is that if i try to uninstall some apps or change some setting, the phone doesn't save these changes.
The phone is rooted and i tried to re-flash it through fastboot that tells me everything went well but when it reboot nothing changes and the phone still keep rebooting after startup.
I tried to search over the internet but i couldn't find a solution.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Googling i've found that it's ad hardlocked nand problem, so no hope to fix it.

Sorry if i opened a thread already discussed in the past.
I just bought a used pixel xl. When I call, the phone will suddenly get stuck and restart. Do you have a similar situation? It is a hardware problem or a system problem. I am now the latest official system.

I would backup anything you have on the phone and do a factory reset from the settings menu. If you still have the problem after that, it could be a hardware problem (though I would probably reflash the system image from google if it still happened after a factory reset).
Hi all,
I have updated the system to 8.1 , in the begging everything looked fine. The system system suggested to update to the latest version and I did it.
the update went fine and it stayed fine for two days till for any reason every 5 seconds the screen blinks (like the screen turns off an on).
I have tried everything, factory reset, downgrade to the previous version and the issue remains.
the device is not rooted or any application which could cause such issue installed.
is anybody facing similar issue? do you have any suggestions to try to fix it.
Thank you in advance

I have a Oneplus 5. but I had the same problem trying to upgrade. I just posted this in the oneplus forum last night. I'm currently back on 8.0. I must have flashed the phone about 20 times.. not fun.. so make sure everything is backed up. This is what I did to stop the blinking.
1. Download the 8.0 zip from the official download link on OnePlus.com copy it to root folder
2. Flash back to 8.0.. assuming you're on 8.1
3.Upgrade to 8.1 when prompted
4. After it successfully upgrades.. it'll still blink..
5. Either through developer menu advanced reboot or volume down/power go into recovery
6. Flash 8.0 original zip
7. Don't wipe
8. Reboot, normally back into 8.0, you'll encounter errors.. com.android errors and it'll force reboot back into recovery
9. In recovery, wipe all user data
10. Then just reboot
11. I reinstalled fresh.. without restore, and installed my apps one at a time.. I thought maybe it was an app I had installed.. but it would start blinking randomly so I still don't know what causes it..
12. Back to 8.0 but it'll stop blinking
13. Rinse and repeat.. reflashed like 20 times.. and now it hasn't blinked day 2..
Each time I try to flash to 8.1 it starts to blink.. not sure how to upgrade but I'm also all stock nonrooted as well.. I've never had any issues upgrading until now since new.
Pretty sure it's not hardware as it doesn't blink in recovery.. only when it boots into the o/s.
But each time I try to upgrade either from the phone.. or the official 8.1 zip from XDA.. it will start to blink.
Good luck..

Hi bringit8,
Thanks for sharing the solution worked for you, later I will try to use this tool (https://www.getdroidtips.com/unbrick-oneplus-5t/) to try to install form "real" factory reset the device. If not I will apply your solution.
Keep you updated
Thanks again,
Its seems after 3 days my screen just started to blink again.. all i did was open the photos app, still on 8.0. Support says to send in the phone, since I've flashed the phone so many times.. maybe it is a hardware issue.

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?
