[Q] Stuck in ParanoidKANGdroid boot up screen *Please help!*

Hey guys, I"m new to the forums (as well as android).. Got my S3 yesterday (ditched my iPhone 5 for it and found touch wiz to be gruesome) So I rooted my i747 device, and installed the latest CWM, and put the new paranoidkangdroid ROM on my S3. I had it working all day, and it's incredible! I love every aspect of it. However, my phone just recently after trying to set a passcode rebooted itself and is stuck in the boot screen.. (the glowing pink android)..
I've tried rebooting, removing the battery, connecting to my computer, and tried to boot into the CWM screen without any success. Any suggestions for how I can get this thing to work again?
Thanks a lot for your time
- Ryan

Volume up+home button+power button until it disappears, let go of power and keep hokding other two. Yoh will see samsung screen with blue letters in top left for a brief second.

Thanks for the quick reply, tried your advice.. screen went black, vibrated every few seconds, showed the samsung logo quickly, restarted itself again, and is still stuck in the boot loop...
Any other ideas?'
[update] : got my phone into the CWM recovery (v6.0.1.4) Any ideas on my next step? I cleared my cache and rebooted, it restarted and a screen popped up saying "updating android" and it was updating all my apps, gave me a little bit of hope. But then it proceeded to go back into the boot loop. This is getting really frustrating, if anyone has any other suggestions I'd really appreciate it

sorry for the double post - screen is all black no... getting no response at all now from the device, asides from an occasional vibration when I hold down the volume up + home + power...
please help

I just noticed the post for that ROM today so it is obviously fairly new, bugs are to be expected. Can you get to download mode, same process as recovery except substitute vol down for vol up. If so you can flash the stock rooted ROM of your choice and either try again or use a different ROM until they work the bug out. I would also suggest posting in the ROM OP so the dev is aware of the problem, or incase he has any suggestions.
EDIT - Just noticed you only have 3 posts, the forums require 10 to post in the development sub forums.

That happened to me. For that rom to work, don't change any settings.
Make sure it's disconnected from the power wire. Hold, Volume Up and Home button then hold the power button. Wipe both caches, and factory reset. Reflash PK and Gapps. Wipe caches again and reboot. It should work. If not flash back to PA like I did. I'm gonna wait for the next update.

Wipe "cache" AND "dalvik cache" found under advanced tab. If that fails, try a more stable rom. Cm10 nightlies maybe, which are more mature with less problems.
Also, you didn't flash a different kernel did you? From what I read only the kernel provided will work. Furthermore, make sure you flash the proper gaaps. That also will cause problems.
And of course. Welcome to XDA and Android. Once you get the hang of flashing you will be obsessed and never go back to iFail. Trust me.

thanks a lot everyone above - I managed to reset all caches earlier, wiped the device, and then re-installed the ROM and gapps and everything is working fine now. I'll take your advice and not alter too many of the settings on this ROM (asides from this error, this OS runs beautifully!) I tried to post this problem in the post for this specific ROM but wasn't allowed as I have less than ten posts.. haha.
Again, thanks for all the help. I'm loving the device, iOS doesn't come close to what I've experienced so far.. And I've only been using it for a couple days.

turn your phone off. press and hold volume up and volume down + power button (at the same time) then scroll with volume up till you see "recovery" press power button . wait untill u see an android logo, then press power + volume up . a menu will be shown. choose wipe data )by scrolling with volume) then hit power. choose wipe cache then power. choose reboot system now then power

Nexus firmware is not supported by kies you will never be able to connect it to kies . Just wipe cache from recovery don't wipe data.

I just got this S3 and it wont stop rebooting...

Ok So I just bought this att s3 from Craigslist. As soon as I got home it started restarting , it will reboot like after 10 seconds.
It boots as far as the Samsung logo then restarts. Sometimes it goes all they way to att splash screen then reboots.
What I have tried to fix.
1) boot to recovery whipe data and dalvik, but it won't give me enough time to copleate the command before it restarts.
2) boot to download mode but won't stay on enough time to hook it up to my pc the use odin on it.
3)Booted safe mode and the phone booted up all the way then the power menu came up then restarted.
Im out of ideas Do you think the mother board is messed up?
Plzz help thank you for looking and for your help/...

Did you ask if this was rooted before you got it ? So you got the phone home and had done nothing to it before it started rebooting or did you do something and it start ?
I've heard this happen when someone had a wipe for bad and the recovery gets borked but it could be the power button as well. The hard reboot happens after the power button has been pushed for 10 seconds. This could explain the constant reboots/ Mess around with it and see if that helps. I had this happen on a skyrocket and cappy and the button got "unstuck"

Does it reboots even when plugged/charging?
Did you try another battery?

It's not really a matter of it not clicking physically on the outside but something sticking under that button.
From your initial post to you stated it not always restarting at the exact same point during the boot up. Tend to make me think physical.
If its not rooted and has stock recovery someone might have rooted it before and then tried to put it back stock and borked it somehow.
Have you tried downloading Odin 3.07 and see if it's recognized ?
Did it boot when you bought it ? Please don't tell me you bought it without seeing it boot up first...

[Q] Bricked my Desire HD.

Hi, first off I don't really know what all the terms mean , but my phone is rooted, and has a ROM? installed, I'm not 100% sure on what it is as I've forgotten, but I think it is Cyanogenmod?
The past few weeks my phone has been restarting randomly and freezing every now and again. This morning when I tried to unlock it the touchscreen wasn't responding, and this had happened before. I took the battery out and tried to turn it back on. I see HTC splash screen pop up, and that's all I get. I've tried turning it on whilst plugged in charging, and still nothing. It's all fully charged. I've tried turning it on whilst holding the volume down button and it vibrates 3 times and still nothing.
Thanks for any help!

can you still go to bootloader then recovery?

Hold the power button and volume up to get into bootloader, then select recovery. Try to clear cache and davik cache then restart. If its wont work u should freshly reinstall.
I was in your case when using Jellytime R11...my phone started and freezed at boot screen. No matter how manytimes I removed the battery n restarted the phone just stood still. All I can do is go to recovery...

I've just tried that, and unfortunately it didn't work. When I do that the phone vibrates 3 times, and the orange LED flashes, and has been flashing for around 5 minutes now. The screen also doesn't turn on at any point.
Thanks for the help!

U press Volume Up or Down?

Thanks, I've looked around and can't find a tutorial on how to do that on a Desire HD. Do you know of one, or a good generic tutorial I could follow?
Thanks again.

Take the Sim SDCard Out as well as battery. Wait a few minutes then only replace the battery back and see if it fully boots If it does then power down the phone pull the battery wait again a few minutes then boot with the VOL DOWN key and then factory reset it.
With this done its one more battery pull and boot again it should be fine after that.

Unfortunately that didn't work. I'm not sure if this is of any help, but when booting normally, almost immediately after the white HTC splash screen, the screen flashes blue for half a second.
Thanks for the help!

No clue how I've done it, but I've been pressing button for the last 10 minutes and managed to get in to what I believe is the bootloader? It's a white screen with Fastboot, Recovery, Factory Reset etc and the options. What shall I do from here?
I wiped the cache, and booted and then it froze saying "Android is upgrading, starting apps"

This step takes a while. But if you could get into the bootloader which is Fastboot Recovery and Factory reset you could of choose Factory Reset to see if that fixed the issue.

yup, since you can now access your bootloader, from the recovery just flash your rom, remember to do full wipe first, data, cache and dalvik cache...

Phone won't boot for 2 minutes after flashing rom

After flashing arhd 7.0, before hitting reboot button in twrp, my phone turns off and I can't get it back to life. I keep holding power button + volume up or down being in panic for a couple of minutes. After that my phone boots.I am not sure after what combination of buttons.This happened several times. Does anyone has any suggestions? I 'm afraid my phone won't boot again eventually after flashing a new update

In the twrp settings screen turn off the screen saver setting. I forget what it says exactly but once you turn this off that should stop happening.

Thanks I will try this. Hope won't happen again

I panicked after flashing AR7.0 as I thought I had bricked my M8. The screen goes black and doesnt respond, but I found that if you just leave it for a good few minutes it will boot up properly. It stays on the white HTC splash screen for a while too.

Happens to me too. I'm not sure if it's really the screen lock, but if you just leave it alone for a bit the screen will come back on and then you can tell TWRP to reboot.

First time i flashed and the screen turned off nearly gave me a heart attack
