Hey guys,
since 2-3 weeks i'm using the 6.0.1 official version which i got via OTA update (everything original on my phone, no root, no flashing any software) for my international S6 Edge.
First i noted havy battery drain and uninstalled a few apps. A weather widge forced the heacy battery drain and my phone worked fine.
Since 4 Days i have problems with random reboots. It started with some reboots a day and now it keeps rebooting after i unlocked sim card and want to use my phone. I managed to put my phone in flight mode and i were able to make a backup of my userdata via samsung smartswitch. I initialized the phone via the software and it flashed the newest version. After it finished it booted up and in the language selection screen it keeps rebooting.
I read about corrupted files due update from version 5.x to 6.0.1 and thought to wipe the phone and flash newest software via smartswitch would fix the problem but my phone is not usable anymore.
Maybe you have any advice for me?
Thanks for your further help!

Hi borth87
As it won't get worst, I suggest to flash a clean Stock version.
From SamMobile find the latest firmware for your device model.
After, for the download, I suggest you to use:
[TOOL] SamFirm - Samsung firmware downloader & checker
Just provide Model+Region and it will find you the newer firmware available. Please, before download, check the boxes: CRC32 & Decrypt
Flash the above using the lastest Odin v3.11.1
- Open Odin
- Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
- Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
- Add the firmware file downloaed to AP / PDA
- Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
- Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
Let us know your path.
Nice regards.

Thanks for the reply.
Will the flashing via odin touch the knox warranty?

Hi B
No. Just flashing Sammobile firmwares via ODIN will NOT trip knox.
Have fun.

I got back my phone from repair. They switched Mainboard and some minor parts.
Everything is working fine now. As it was warranty i dont have to pay for the change.

Hi.
I has the same problem. I tried to flash all of firmwares (always STOCK), but it's failed with ODIN all times. Samsung Smart Switch PC software say system repair succesfull (with emergency update repair), but the problem keep joke with me.
Phone don't repond without charger. With PC connection, i don't allow to run restore mode, only ODIN mode. With Wall charger adapter, i allow to run restore mode, odin mode, safe system mode, normal system, but i wiped cache, i do factory reset, i rebooted in bootloader and rebooted system as normal. When i run system in normal mode, language selection show up, and when i press next, phone reboot. When i run system in safe mode, i can select my language, and i can connect to my WiFi, but after i press NEXT at wifi list, phone reboot.
So in safe mode i able to do more one step, but system keep rebooting. Charging screen show battery at 89-90% all times, system start updating battery status from 1% to 100% (1 percent/ 1.5 sec).
Some times red-green-blue-purple rows show at Samsung logo and i got bootloop. Like when i put off my battery from my old phone.

Hi guys,
I was trying to upgrade to Android 2.3 on my Sharp Softbank 005SH but the phone got stuck in the Major Update screen and I don't know what to do now. Anyone with experience please help!
The phone is updated to the latest firmware that is required for this major update, Build No. S0900.
So, I decided to go for the PC upgrade option, Downloaded the driver and the Update tool, waited for many hours for the download to complete, then started the procedure.
I then switched the phone to Fast File Transfer USB mode, checked for update, it discovered that an update was available and asked me to restart the phone.
After restarting, I ran the Update tool but it gets stuck at the screen where it checks if the phone is connected in the above USB mode.
Meanwhile, the phone won't reboot in normal mode. If I pull the USB cable out, it says "Update failed. After a reboot the phone will work again." Well, it doesn't because I can't reboot. Even tried removing the battery for a couple of minutes...
same to you
just update my dm009sh from s0300.....failed

I've sent my phone back to Japan. Hopefully, they'll fix it there soon.
Obviously, the problem occurs because the phone and/or the OS are not in Japanese.
Hi Al,
Yesterday after update (Settings\About\Check for update) I'm not able to access settings screen, I have done factory reset twice already but it is still the same.
I'm not able to connect to the Kies, because I believe USB debugging is on, and I cannot turn it off because I can't get to settings. So my PC not recognizing phone now, so any update is impossible. Phone have never been rooted and it is Vodafone UK.
The fault: The application com.android.settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again
Any ideas how to resolved without sending to service?
Thanks for any help

So, you can start recovery mode, as you said that you have done factory reset twice.
I think that download mode (Volume DOWN + Home + Power, then Volume UP for proceeding) will work too.
I suggest to flash stock ROM (as you want to connect to KIES) to your phone.
If you have not done it so far, please have a look at Intratech's Official Firmware thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
In the first post, he described the procedure very detailed and understandable IMO.
You can download latest official ROM from the second post or a Frankenstein ROM (is nearly the same as the official / stock ROM, but prepared for combining with any Modem and/or CSC files) from the third post.
I prefer Frankenstein ROMs.
Nearly every ROM in Intratech's thread is non-wipe.
Download and install Odin.
Put the downloaded ROM (extract it with 7zip will result in a tar or md5 file) into PDA section of Odin connect your phone started in download mode to the PC.
Wait for all phone drivers to become active (make sure that KIES is no longer running), and a yellow box will be shown in Odin.
Then just Start flashing the new ROM to your phone.
Once you have done it this way, you won't use KIES any more.
Good luck !
I did exactly as you said and Is working perfectly. I like it some much, so I decided to rooted and flashed with CyanogenMod, also went smothly, without any problmes.
Thanks again!
settings stopped working
I also have had the same problem after the latest update. I discovered yesterday , that if I disabled the blue tooth function, the settings stated working. I have repeatedly tried this, and it so far works everytime. When I turn the bluetooth back on, I again get the error message.
Today i flashed the update over Kies. After finishing this procedure i install superuser again and reboot.
- crappy WLAN (connect / disconnect / cant connect ....)
- Freezetime Sleep (if i lock the phone, the display needs about 5 seconds to turn off)
- Freezetime Wake up (if i unlock the phone, the display turns on, ok, but i cant do anything, i needs to 10 seconds before u can do something)
can anybody help me to get this freeztime fixed ???
So what update ????
Did you try a factory reset ...
Or flash stock rom to suite from stock rom threads .

Reflash stock rom and do a factory reset and then update again.

Hello, let me describe my problem.
Some months ago i rooted my SGSII with stock rom to remove facebook and other unnecessary apps, but I didn't installed CWM. Yesterday I had a small accident. I dropped my phone on the wet floor and two problems occured. Power button didn't work and phone couldn't connect with network. After having dissasemblied and dried it inside, power button started working, but phone still couldn't connect. So I decided to make a full wipe. And here's come my problem. After wipe my Android 4.1.2 is able to go through initialisation process (language selection, wifi password etc.)
but after this it gets stuck and bootloop occur.
I tried to fix the phone using Odin, but after connecting to computer, it shows that device is unknown and Odin don't see it. I also tried to find way to install CWM via stock recovery, but it's propbably not possible.
Please, help me
Hello, I have a Samsung S7. It boots up fine, you go into APP's or messages, pictures, but after 10 or 15 seconds it reboots or and or, it never operates normally. I would like to know if there is a way to fix the phone. Or if there is a way I can get all the information off the phone. Pictures and text messages.
I can't believe no one out there has had this problem. Can it be a battery problem? Can I load old firmware with ODIN? Any help would be great.

If you're unrooted , it's really strange to witness such an issue . Backup your stuff including the internal storage and then boot into recovery using the Vol UP + Home + Power button together . Scroll down to wipe data/reset . AFter it's complete .. reboot .
WARNING : This will wipe your phone completely including the internal storage . SO backup
If the above solution still doesn't work - FInd the latest firmware for your device from sammobile.com/firmware and flash it through odin
All set. Loaded the latest firmware this morning and I am all set.
