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.

Here is a link on how to reflash firmware on Samsung devices:

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!
