It’s 2016, and the Note 5 is still the best phone of the Note series. Samsung skipped the Note 6 and decided to release the Note 7 instead. This was not a great decision, as 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 will fix this problem.
As I said, the Note 5 is still the best phablet of 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 has a 5.7-inch screen, and it features the S pen Stylus. It runs on Exynos 7420 octa-core processor with 4GB of RAM.
After the failure of Note 7, people who were obsessed with the Note series moved back to 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 is when Note 5 fails to mount the cache partition, or it’s been flashed with the wrong ROM, which the system cannot load.
How to Fix Note 5 Stuck at Samsung Logo at Startup:
Well, the method I will use to fix the Note 5 stuck at the Samsung logo in a boot loop is flashing stock ROM using ODIN. It might delete all the data present in your phone. But you will be able to use your phone again. It is also called soft brick when your phone is stuck at bootloop. It’s a very frustrating and annoying situation, which I can relate to.
Prerequisites:

Selecting the correct ROM is very important. If your phone is carrier unlocked and has no carrier branding, then you can download the ROM of any country that is not branded. To check bran, ding, see the logo (lVeriVerizon or T-Mobile) that appears when rebooting your phone. If your phone is not impressed, you can flash the ROM of any country that is not carrier-specific. But make sure you don’t flashdon’tanded 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.
