Galaxy is not in the menu this refers too: Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F When the phone is switched on, the start up logo sits there the phone does not boot up? I cannot gain access to the phone, no matter what I connect the phone too, (i.e. Kies, Smart switch?
This is usually caused by either one of the following:
- System software getting corrupted, can be caused by a system update, not enough space on phone or for no apparent reason. Power management chip going faulty (This requires micro-soldering board level repair to fix)eMMC chip (Flash memory / a.k.a hard drive) going faulty (This requires either getting the flash memory chip replaced or reprogrammed by a JTAG (flashing box, again like board-level repair). If you are lucky sometimes this can be fixed by reflashing the System Software (Firmware) on the phone.

Thanks for your reply Ben. I tried using Odin but it failed “error” no pit file. I next used smartbox got pit file tried to flash phone still no luck. It must as you said be an electronic fault. I need info from the phone but I can’t access it. I’ll have to take it to a reputable phone service to be repaired if it can be! Thanks once again for insight!
