It’s 2016, and the Note 5 remains the best phone in the Note series. Samsung skipped the Note 6 and decided to release the Note 7 instead. This was not a great decision, as the Note 7 was a complete failure. If your Note 5 is stuck at the Samsung Logo at startup and in the boot loop. I have a method that can resolve this issue.
As I mentioned, the Note 5 remains the best phablet in the Galaxy Note series. It has goods and is still used by many people who are very content with it. Note 5 was released with a completely new design. It features a 5.7-inch screen and includes the S Pen stylus. An Exynos 7420 octa-core processor powers it, featuring 4GB of RAM.
Following the failure of the Note 7, people who were previously obsessed with the Note series returned to the Note 5. Some people have reported that their Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is stuck at the Samsung logo at startup. There can be many reasons for this problem. The most common issue is when the Note 5 fails to mount the cache partition, or it has been flashed with the wrong ROM, which the system cannot load.
How to Fix Note 5 Stuck at Samsung Logo at Startup:
The method I will use to fix the Note 5 stuck at the Samsung logo in a boot loop is flashing the stock ROM using ODIN. It may delete all the data currently stored on your phone. But you will be able to use your phone again. It is also known as a soft brick when your phone becomes stuck in a boot loop. It’s a very frustrating and annoying situation, which I can relate to.
Prerequisites:
- Download ODIN v3.10.7 from here. (Click on download from the browser when the window appears.)
- Download Stock Firmware for your Note 5 from SamMobile. And extract it on your PC.
- Download Samsung Drivers for Windows. (The link to download the file is under the main heading.) These drivers are to be installed on your PC; they are essential for your PC to recognise your device correctly.
- You will need a computer for this solution.
Selecting the correct ROM is very important. If your phone is carrier-unlocked and has no carrier branding, you can download the ROM for any country that is not branded. To check the brand, look for the logo (Verizon or T-Mobile) that appears when you reboot your phone. If your phone is not impressed, you can flash the ROM of any country that is not carrier-specific. However, be sure not to flash a ROM on a branded phone. However, finding the same ROM of the same country as the one installed on your phone before it got bricked is recommended.
