Yo.
So nothing whatsoever seems to be able to make this phone boot into recovery. Whether its a soft or hard boot, it just will not happen. It will always boot as normal. I'm so frustrated and completely stumped.
Any ideas?

Ah man, you've got me. This is all in the hope of installing a custom rom. Installing the recovery was one of a few things I hadn't done before. I think I did it using Fastboot. I've got a head like a sieve. More frustratingly, my own PC died a death a few days ago, so A) I haven't got whatever stuff I downloaded so cant refer to that to see what I did, and B) anything from here on would ideally be done without a computer, although I could probably borrow one if needed. Can you use Fastboot to install a custom recovery? If so, then thats how I did it. I remember downloading a .img file on the PC and doing something from there. Sorry I couldn't be more clear, and thanks for your help buddy.
Sorry, I missed the second question there. I have tried a number of ways to boot into recovery. Holding vol-up or vol-down while powering on, or a handful of apps that have a boot into recovery option. I've tried using CWM's Rom Manager to install the PA rom .img I have saved on the phone, but that is telling me I need to install CW recovery, and then says its not available for my device. Confused as hell about that one. I feel that once I'm in recovery I'm golden. I don't know if this is relevant, but at the minute, I don't have write access to /system, so I guess this would be a half root job.
You still having issues? I can help and yes you will need a computer and you will need to download the android SDK and set that up.. Let me know
I wish I knew exactly what caused this to happen. I was using a Malaysk ROM and starting having the issues. I thought maybe it was the ROM so I downgraded back to the original ROM that came with my unit and I'm still having the same issues. I downgraded through system updates in settings.
I can get it to boot into recovery, but it's just a black screen with pulsating light blue lights on the side of my unit. I have a Joying RK3188 1024x600 with the touch buttons on the left side.
Also when the unit boots up I don't get the Android splash screen anymore, it's also black. The first sign of life is when the car logo screen pops up.
There have also been multiple cases where when I am using the unit the screen has turned black ( if the radio is playing it will continue to play though ) and I can't do anything on the screen. This has to be a related issue.
Does anyone have any idea whats going on here?
I appreciate any help I can get!
Anyone have any ideas?

Try reflashing both MCU and ROM.
Use USB method for recovery of brick unit.
Or try reflashing from GPS card by mimicking procedure as it should be done on screen working even if you don't see it (look for screenshots of recovery and try to perform needed actions - somewhere here was such hint for someone whose screen brightness was completely darked out and has to perform factory reset from recovery on the blind).

What is USB method? Just load the files on to a flash drive?
And I've found a picture of the recovery menu and I've tried that multiple times with no success.
Thank you for your help!

Putting the stock MCU and ROM on the GPS card fixed it! I did the update from the settings menu and it worked! I have recovery again! Thank you so much for the help!
I really want to install the custom ROM again, but I really don't want to keep having this issue though. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this to happen?

I had bad experience with MCU v2.83
After some time it started to make touch screen not working, factory settings pass not recognising standard 126 etc.
After restart - all normal. Then for no reasons next day problems rrapear...
Reverting to stock v2.80 resolves issue. And Nalaysk ROM works with no prob.
So, if you upgraded MCU - that may be a reason.
If not, then maybe your ROM file was corrupted. Or your internal memory got corrupted somehow.
My prob with newer MCU, not working on cold morning first start but working after reset, points out that there is some HW related issue. With new version only though! Figure it out...

I never updated the MCU so I'm really not sure what happened.
I'm actually don't mind using the stock ROM minus the fact I've already ran out of storage, is there anything I can do about that? So many things are working better for me now. Before I wasn't able to get an OBDII adapter to connect to torque and now it works perfect.
I'd love to go back to the Malaysk ROM but I just had so many issues...
Use link2sd to store your apps on an external sd card.

There is also another ROM, look for thread named Interesting ROM with FUSE support.
It is almost stock but with FUSE partitioning so you have all space for both sys app and data.
BTW your prob with OBD2 is known issue in Malaysk ROM if you enabled xposed BT module.

You need to root your head unit. Use the root code from the wiki. Then install super su and give permissions to link2sd. Remember to properly partition sd card ss well

Thank you for your support. My problem was that my recovery image was damaged. I fixed it by reflashing the recovery image.
thx
I have the same problem now. I just went into recovery mode and installed update_4_4_4_FUSE_1024X600_RK3188_17_MAL_23_04_2016.
All was well until the Android loader image just sat there pulsing. The unit still had not started up after 40 mins of this logo being on screen.
Going into recovery mode just shows a black screen now. So my unit is effectively dead, or can it be rescued?

Is it possible to start your device normal?
No. It just sits at the bootloader.
Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk
Try in recovery mode to enter back in normal boot mode. It's difficult to explain in englisch. I had to pin a small needle into my radio and ca. 0,5 seconds before the LED are flashing, stop with pushing. When you stop pushing you must wait 5-10 second and see if you device boot up normal.
You have to try this often to find the correct moment. Thats how I entered back to normal boot mode.
A good day to all!
I have had an issue with my S6 edge (SM-G925F, Philippines Globe Carrier Version) for months now wherein it keeps restarting/crashing. The problem persists so randomly, sometimes multiple times a day or sometimes a day or two without it. I've already tried everything I could find in the internet, such as; deleting the cache in recovery, factory wiping the phone, and flashing the newest firmware i found for it on sammobile. Noting seemed to work. This is my last attempt in fixing the phone before I give up. I hope someone can give me good advice about this.
So nobody knows how to fix this? I don't care if it's a hardware problem i just wanna know
yh man,same problem...i cant even boot to the system..is your led flashing blue?

Is the phone currently working?
It sounds like it could be the hardware failing, could be the emmc failing.
The only thing to suggest at this point is to wipe data/cache in recovery and flash a new firmware.
Or try a custom ROM. If it happens on the custom ROM also then it's possibly hardware.

That's EXACTLY what i was thinking although i did not know that was the name of the part. I was just thinking the memory module was maybe defective already. Dang it so the logic board should be replaced right? Because as far as I know the memory is soldered to the board and hard to remove by itself let alone replacing it.
I've already tried the wiping of data/cache and flashed the newest firmware using Odin but the problem still persists.
Also tried the custom ROM and I've tried a lot of them non actually boots to the system. Only flashing the official firmware allows me to boot to the system.
Thank you for the reply I will now just give up on this and just buy a OnePlus 3T.

If it's the emmc then only way to fix is to replace the full motherboard, which isn't cheap.
It's a known problem on note 4. Emmc chip fails and eventually completely packs in.
Which custom Roms did you try? Carhd rom is a good one to try very reliable. Also when flashing a custom ROM it can take 20-30 minutes to boot into the system.

True they are very expensive that's why I'd rather just buy a new phone. I just didn't want to give up such good hardware until I've tried everything.
Oh really? I wonder why that's the case
I actually forgot which ones already but I'm sure I tried Carhd and it didn't boot for more than an hour. But I'll go and check again just to be thorough.

Yeah it's a shame really. I could be wrong that might not occur on yours. Normally when you get emmc failure, the phone will reboot to download mode and give you an error along the lines of emmc Write fail. And then keep repeating this.
3T is a good choice to go for if that's what you decide

It's alright I feel like whatever the hardware issue is it'll require the motherboard to be swapped out anyways. I can finally let the phone rest in peace haha thank you very much.
Yeah it's perfect for an android enthusiast. Already ordered one. Good bye and thanks again!

Wouldn't say it was motherboard yet. After you flash your rom you need to boot to recovery and wipe data/cache. This will fix the apps crashing
done,cant boot the system.
gave a visit to a few services,they sad around 50e would be reparation,but im student and now dont have cash for that ****..you have any other suggestions? i tried custom roms,at first magisk would always faild,last time it was ok but still couldnt boot

Do not pay for it. Chances are if you can't fix it they can't either.
So have you tried flashing stock firmware?
What Android version do you have and what region? What's full model number g925?
Reduce the cpu frequencies to 1200-800mhz for big and little and userspace governor. This the only fix.
ok,so one more thing,on the glass back of the phone sits one imei that is not correct,and on the battery is another,which reports 64g version,while next to that number is printed 32gb and phone actually has 32gb lool
it is supposed to be g925f,but after i installed some custom rom,pc showed it as g925s? i think it is due to rom signing the wrong model number
the last thing i have done was yesterday,and it was flashing firmware through kies again.
and this is what i get :
s6 edge powered by android,followed by blue screen 'installing system update',and then recovery
in the recovery,i get this :
android recovery
samsung/zeroltexx/zerolte
7.0/NRD90M/G925FXXU5EQBG
user/release-keys
*recovery options*
No suppoer SINGLE-SKU
Supported API: 3
dm-verity error...
i realy dont know what else to try,and i am open to all suggestions..i have read that emmc storage is broken so this kind of problems can occur,so maybe service would do that?
thank you,i know this is confusing and boring problem
i tried with odin once more,and it failed at 25% instaing system update,then i restarted it and it got up to 32% and started erasing and it turned off..tf with this phone?? i guess its broken...

Download and flash that firmwsre through odin before you try anything else. Let me know what happens.
I can tell you it's likely not emmc failure. For this you would get random reboots and it would reboot to download mode. There you would have an error emmc_write_error.
wowo thanks,i just gave up on that phone,i will try again,i will report back!
just one question,why vodafone?
oh,and i did have random reboots on android m,but it would reboot to optimizing android and boot
So i have no idea what i'm doing but i somehow made this recovery and it works lol. the only thing ive noticed so far is file transfer doesn't work in the recovery. You'll have to install the usual PB tools manually because again, i have no idea what i'm doing and only get the img when i compile it ctfu
nevermind, i lied. its a broken turd lol. it wont let me mount data after formating . any ideas on how to fix it and im all ears

i can upload the qfil firmware for global if that would help. as for the recovery the phone still boots and i can switch in and out of recovery. it just wont mount /data. even after formatting the next time i go into it i get the same crap
if anyone can tell me why i cant mount data even after formatting and what id need to do to fix it Id be sincerely grateful. And yes i know the recovery logs are for orangefox and not PBRP but for the most part its the same sources. I think the main issue is the half assed programmer has no clue what the hell he's doing CTFU. Ive been going by the motto if ya throw enough Sh*T at the wall , sooner or later something will stick. i just keep adding more build flags and other things that sound interesting and slap em on there. Phone still works fine after each build so i think thats a plus

I followed some flashing tutorial online and ended up making the problem worse. Took it to the Care center yesterday, said they'd fix it, but I'll probably have to pay coz warranty won't cover that
