This morning I found my battery dead. When I got it to boot, it was bootlooping. I tried flashing, wiping, everything. Bottom line is if I sync to google, my phone goes into bootloop. Full data wipe in recovery does nothing, all my apps are there and work fine, flashing works fine. Tried installing twrp, same thing.
Any ideas?
Anyone got any ideas? Could this be a hardware problem?
Guess I'll try going back to stock when I get home. Unfortunately I could never get mtp to work properly.
Sounds like a bad ROM you are using.
Does it use the CM GAPPS file?
You can try flashing CyanogenMOD's latest GAPPS and i bet that would fix it.

Tried many different ROMs, that was not the problem. Wipe didn't work, even the native factory reset. Went fully back to stock and rerooted and it seems to be fixed. Still working on restoring things.

Last week i was having issues with the phone not booting, or just locking up not responding etc. A wipe seemed to help, and wit work for a while. I'd get my phone setup to where I wanted it again, and then the issues would come back.
I found a post that said it was possible EXT4 formatting issues because of a bad poweroff. So I downloaded all the stock 4.04 images, fastboot erased system boot recovery. Flashed the latest radios, stock system boot userdata and clockwork recovery 5.5.0.4. Booted seemed to be fine.
Rebooted into Clockwork and installed Vanir v7, ran fine for a few days. I thought the issue was gone. Until this morning when I got a text message and went to unlock the phone and it was locked up. I pulled the battery and that is when everything got extremely bad
Would not boot past the boot animation. I tried the following
I reinstalled the ROM,
i treid to wipe data,
wiped data and reinstalled the ROM.
although I was able to make a nandroid backup before I tried all of this
Then as a last resort I went into the mounts and storage and FORMATTED /system /data and /cache in CWM. Reinstalled the ROM and it actually booted.
What greeted me there is the last thing I'd EVER expect to see. I don't know how, what or why but all my data was there... every app text missed call... all of it.. even tho I had wiped AND formatted several times and did NOT restore my backup. EDIT: Even more oddness... My user apps didn't get wiped, they are all still there, but they are all acting like I had cleared their data through the applications menu....
I still don't know if this is because of a NAND issue that formatting fixed both times (flashing stock and using format in CWM) or if it will ever come back. Has any1 else had any issues of this sort? I really don't think this is a ROM issue.
you're probably causing more damage by flashing this, wiping this and that. best option is to leave it stock for now by flashing the factory image again. if it is a NAND issue then it would have stopped booting when the issue occured. but if it is still causing problems then send it back for a replacement.
I've been trying to get a Rom on a S3 that the wife likes, so I've recently flashed the latest versions of Hyperdrive, Synergy and Wicked. I always follow the proper procedures of data wiping/factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvik, format system, and format data between each flash. I tried Hyperdrive first but had google sync errors, so went to Synergy. Synergy wouldn't connect to the nectwork so I went to flash Wicked v10 but the device wouldn't wipe/format data. I let it set for 20+ minutes and it never progressed. Pulled the battery and tried again but same result. I was able to install Wicked w/out the data wipe and it seemed to boot up ok but I was determined to get that wipe. So next I tried to restore to a backup from a week ago and it also stopped progress at the formatting data step. I re-flash Wicked v10 w/out the wipe. Once it did its thing and booted up I used went to the Factory Reset option under Settings but now the phone is stuck on the screen with the Android figure and a progress bar. Pulling the battery and trying to boot into recovery or even a normal boot all results back on the progress screen. I've managed to thoroughly piss off the wife by disabling her phone. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? I don't care if its reset back to factory rom or just anything to will allow the phone to work. Any help is appreciated.
Have you tried using Odin to flash a new original factory ROM?
IDK if you can get into Download Mode, but, if you can, it's worth a shot.
i agree with that statement. try flashing stock and unroot with odin. i have use hyperdrive since march, and i have not had that issue, so maybe its just a bad download or something. just try odin,
Ok, I'm at a total loss. For some reason my gnex running liquidsmooth started rebooting randomly today. I tried wiping cache/dalvik and that didn't work, so I did a factory reset. That also didn't help, as soon I was asked to choose a wifi network the phone froze and rebooted. So I tried restoring to a previous working version of liquid. I still had the same problem. It rebooted every 5 minutes! Then, I tried wiping everything and installing a fresh copy of liquid,but I still couldn't get past choosing my wifi network w/o a reboot. So I finally tried restoring to a really old aokp backup and it STILL is rebooting. what the heck is going on? Can anybody give me any help? Is this a hardware issue? I've also tried two different batteries by the way.
Some more info. It seems to be tied to notifications. I got it running on the AOKP rom on airplane mod, but when i received a text from my wife it rebooted 3 times. I only got it to stop by putting it back into airplane mod. Could it be a radio issue? I'll try flashing some.
why dont you flash back to stock and see if that works fine. that will tell you everything.

Good point. I'll probably try flashing muzzy's rom really quick, since it's supposed to be so stable to see if that does the trick. If not I'll try going back to stock. I've never had to go back to stock with this phone, so I wouldn't mind avoiding it if I can, but anything is worth a shot at this point.
I really just need to nurse it along until the VZW one or Moto X come out. I'm holding out for those at this point.
I wouldn't recommend flashing another custom ROM. You should flash the factory images.
I've been trying to update my firmware all day, I'm running TWRP2.8.7.2, updated to the newest bootloader, and tried 6 different ROMs, nothing will boot, except the alpha AOSP Marshmallow, but with that play services keeps crashing as soon as I try to set up my google account, and I can't get past the first run wizard. I've wiped my cache and data and internal storage a couple times now, and nothing is working. could someone give me an idea? I've never had so much trouble flashing a device before.
try going back to 100% stock by flashing stock firmware on ODIN. Next root and twrp.

I have a t700 and had the same problems you have installing marshmallow. What worked for me was advanced wipe in twrp, everything except internal storage and sd card. From there hit the home key, and flash the marshmallow rom, then reboot into recovery, next flash su 2.5x, then reboot into recovery. Lastly, flash the benzo gapps, and reboot system. My play store started working after i installed in that sequence on t700. Ive heard a few others have had to do that process 2 or 3x before it works, and some, it doesnt work at all. Worth a try though. Good luck.
Hi All,
Having some issues with my Galaxy Note 10.1 which I've had for quite a while now. It's rooted but with Android 5.0 stock rom and a custom kernel.
Just now (like 20mins ago) I tried to enable Adblock plus app, the app said it can't automatically change the settings - even though SuperSU was installed and had no issues with it previously. So like all things thought I'd give it a reboot that ought to clear it out. That didn't work, so tried clearing cache (Dalvik/ART/Cache), Still no joy.
I'm a s/w engineer, but not and android/bootloader expert, so I've tried to grab the dmesg and boot logs which I've attached, I've got some stuff on the internal SD (app data) which I'd like to keep, hence I'm not going for the full wipe.
Please take a look at the logs and see if you can determine how to fix this issue, my initial thoughts were there are some issues with the flash storage (bad sectors/partition table?), if I could grab the image and dd the image again I'd be OK - but I don't know much about about android boot loader/kernel etc so can't say.
Ok it has been fixed by wiping data - but I've lost my data and installed apps!
Is there anyway to find out which file/app is causing the boot loop so I can restore data, delete the offending file?
Well, I shall give a bump to this topic, with a little more info. Though probably not really useful.
First I had stock 5.1.1 deodex pre root etc ROM that, after I tried to insert a nano sim card (mine is a 601 3G model) that got stuck, it entered on a bootloop, I had to open it, take the sim card out, and it was still on a boot loop. Tried to install another image, still bootloop, tried to reinstall the original one I had, still bootloop, wiped data, worked fine.
Then almost 2 weeks later, everything worked fine, went to watch a video, the sound was mute, tried to turn it on but everything looked fine, decided to restart because it would probably fix the problem. Got a bootloop. Wiped the data, everything was fine again.
Now, a little more than 2 weeks later, seems like the wifi is not working, thought all my other devices are, guess it's the same problem, decided to restart it, and bootloop again. I'm currently trying to update my TWRP, and gonna try a different ROM, and wait to see if something like that happens, until then, I wonder what could be happening... I remembered an Asus Device that I had that had different firmware versions for 4.4 and 4.1, so if I tried to flash a 4.4 on a 4.1 firmware it wouldn't work, and for downgrade, the same problem happened, and wondered if Samsung has some difference between versions 4 and 5.
ssj4maiko Let me know if you find a more stable rom - I went back to pretty much stock, but with root as I wanted to use all the Samsung apps, but this constant random bootloops are annoying!
