[Q] Problem Booting - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

Hi fellow Samsung Galaxy Gio owners,
I have my Gio for almost 2 years now. I have never encountered a single problem since I rooted it.
2 months ago, my phone started to act strange.
When I tried to boot (after a night of charging), my phone refuses and gives me the "low battery" screen or no screen at all.
I found a temporary solution, that was booting into recovery and then rebooting. It worked.
Then came the inevitable day my phone didn't boot at all. I flashed to stock, after doing a data, cache and dalvik wipe.
It booted again, but after a while the problems started over again.
I have already done a wipe of almost everything, flashed to stock, and I even bought a new battery.
Could someone tell me what's going on and what I could do to solve it?
Thank you.

Okay I guess I'll be the first to post.
About an hour ago my phone shut off at 26% battery (16gb galaxy S3 running CM10.1 nightly 01/16). As I went to turn it back on it will boot into the CM splash screen spin a few times and just shut off. I attempted to charge it, and turn it back on but same thing. After that an attempt to get into CWM, which I was able to get in and it shut off while I was in it. I also tried putting the phone in download mode and about the same time frame it took for the other attempts resulted in a shut down.
Any advice? Or am I stuck doing a warranty exchange?

Sounds like its your battery not a hardware problem. Leave it overnight or a couple hours charging and if it indeed boots up its your battery.
If it doesn't then flash stock and test it if the same result then call up that Warranty. I've seen this same issue with other devices where the battery dies at 50%+ and usually replacing the battery fixes the problem. Test your battery for overheating or swollen.

The battery isnt swollen, thats one of the things I checked also. I thought it might be that, the only other option I have is to try a different battery. The good thing is I work in a tmobile store so im gonna give that a shot tomorrow.

Can you start it without battery connected to the wall charger? If so try wipe cache. Or after reflash ROM.

Even better then lol just test it out at work. I'm about 80% its your battery specially if you OV/UC.
I have the t-mobile US t999.
Last night I was having an odd issue with the networking dropping. I've had the phone for about a month, modded since day 1 with a CM10 variation of a rom (sorry, I forget the exact rom). I had no issues whatsoever up until this point. After a few restarts thinking maybe it was a fluke issue with the network, or network signal in my room, the phone forced itself into emergency call mode only. I couldn't get it to come out.
So I decided I was going to odin on a stock rom as I could get it into download mode, that went through successfully. When the phone boots, I get the android taking off (Tmobile 4g) logo. Then the white samsung logo, and it doesn't go beyond this. I know this can take long so I left it there for about an hour, nothing. The phone also displays a blue led the entire time it's hanging as well.
Also worth noting, when I attempt to boot into recovery it just vibrates over and over.
Not sure what my next steps should be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

after you odin, you need to wipe data/ factory reset to boot. If you can't get into recovery ( Power, Home Button, and Volume Up), then try reflashing your stock image in Odin and check your MD5 sum, so you can rule out a bad download
Thanks for the reply, I'm re-downloading the stock rom now to verify it's integrity and do a new flash. I cannot get into recovery, so we will see after the new flash. Pleading ignorance on one subject, how would I go about checking the MD5 sum to verify the file has no issues?
Additionally I did try to Odin recovery and still could not boot into it, this was however before attempting to re-download and flash a stock rom again.
**Edit//Update** Re-downloaded and flashed stock rom, was able to get into recovery and wipe, booted up fine.
Wow.. great idea for a thread and THANK YOU!!
Perfect timing too cause i need a little help please.
I am not new to android but new to samsung (WOW, didnt realize it would be so different from HTC ont he rooting and flashing side of things).
Long story short. I have a tmo s3. Bought it today and wanted to root. phone was working perfectly as it shoudl on stock rom unrooted. I downloaded the tool kit v7, used that to root adn install TWRP and rebooted into the stock rom that is now rooted. Still everything working perfect.
Here is what i did next and where the issues start.
Downloaded Synergy r290, went to recovery.
Wiped Cache, Dalvik, Data, and System (made a backup first)
flashed the rom and rebooted to system
However, nothing ever happened. I see the samsung logo, then all goes black and nothing happens (left it there for 10min)
I cant seem to get back into recovery holding vol up, home and power either and have no adb access to use that. I AM able to get into download mode which i know i can fix my problem here with odin, but i am just not sure what to flash and where.
Is there an easier way??
Thanks in advance for any help!

If you absolutely can't get into recovery to restore your backup..
Flash the UVDLJA root66 file in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687 via odin. You will have the latest UVDLJA JB update, and will be rooted. From there, install goo manager from the play store to flash TWRP.
After that you're all set to flash whatever you want (just make sure it's for the Tmobile s3).

Just upload the file to PDA and hit start. Make sure to let it finish completely, once the phone reboots, it's done.

Weird problem. When I set kernel frequencies on my phone, they at some point get locked at the maximum frequency. This has happened every time I flash a new ROM or kernel, and I'm worried that it will soon start to affect the battery. I'm using the msmdvcs governor on both kernels that I've tried (stock and faux)

Do u happened to have apps that control frequency like setcpu etc? They might be conflicting each other

[Q] Can't start my Galaxy Nexus

Hi evereybody.
I have a GSM galaxy nexus with 4.2.2. Since approximately a month ago the phone started to reboot itself randomly. Sometimes when I was surfing the web, other times when the phone was on standby at night. Well, since the reboots were becoming more frequent I decided to do a factory reset, because I assumed that it was a corrupt application file or something like that. One week into the factory reset it started restarting again by itself, maybe 2 times a day. I searched the web, couldn't find anything useful so I told myself that the 4.3 update should solve the problem (naive me).
Today the update popped and I intermediately installed it. What is my surprise, that in the middle of installation I get the droid icon down on his back and an ERROR message. Rebooted the phone pulling out the battery and now the phone won't pass the multicolored X screen.
I have no unlocked bootloader, and the phone isn't rooted. So I tried to do a factory reset with the default recovery mode the galaxy nexus has. I wiped the phone but I get stuck on the same screen. The funny thing is that every time I try to wipe the caché partition the phone reboots itself immediately.
I don't know what to do. I'm not an advance user, I installed the GNEX TOOLKIT and tried to flash the factory image, but seems like I don't have the USB DEBUGGING option enabled and can't complete the process.
Do I need to send my phone back? (i'm still in warranty) Or is there a way to be able to start my Gnex again?
Thanks in advance.

This is a common issue with jb4.1.2, I assume ur on a stock rom? What u could do is root the phone, install a custom recovery, make a data only backup and wipe data partition, then restore the data backup u made, sometimes it'll get u out of it, unfortunetly its an issue in the actual firmware of the phone so no real fix...

[Q] Maguro rebooting radomly

Dear community,
i have a reboot problem with my gnex gsm for several weeks now. The phone seems to be rebooting randomly after freezing. The only situation where no reboot occurs is when it is attached to the pc via usb docking station in developer mode.
Ususally, i had cyanogenmod nightlies installed, but i also tried stock 4.2.2 and 4.3 images. Moreover i tried several full wipes using cwm and twp recovery. After the last wipe, I did not recover anything using titanium backup. At the moment i am running on 4.3 stock image and stock recovery with no root. Bootloader is still unlocked. The phone keeps rebooting...
Has anybody an idea where to locate the problem (probably some certain log files) ?
My GNex had that problem. It started with random reboots. Then got into a boot loop from which it never recovered.
Good luck. Hope you don't have the same fate that I had.
Try flashing back to stock and lock and unlock bootloader. If that doesn't stop the reboots, IMO, time to look for a new phone.
Edit : You might want to send it to Samsung for repair, if you are still under warranty.

Already tried that, i have a replacement battery. By the way, the reboot problem also occurs when charging from the normal power supply. Only the usb connection with debug mode avoids rebooting.

Yes, it is not distiguishable from the original one.
I was hoping, that there can be any hint in some sort of log file or something.
Have you tried booting into safe mode to see if it is an app issue?

Are you using the original cable to charge it? I've had problems where using cheap ebay cables made the touchscreen all jumpy and needed a reboot to fix. I changed to the original cable and it never happened again. Dont know if you could have a similar problem but with random reboot.

I'm using both the original cable and two docking stations from amazon, one with ac/dc adaptor and one with usb. The phone always reboots no matter if it is charging or not. Only when connected to usb in debug mode, there is no reboot.

So What was the hardware issue because i have the same problem and out of warranty..... And I would like to repair the phone.
If the costs aren't to high.
It is happening to my gnex since yesterday.
I was on shiny Rom and all of a sudden it began rebooting randomly.
Looking at the last_kmsg I found a kernel panic related to I/o error of the ext4-fs (or something similar).
I performed several wipe, thinking of a kernel issue.
It continued rebooting randomly so I completely reset to stock 4.3 including format of sdcard.
I have the feeling that reboots began when the sdcard began to fill.
I also re_locked the bootloader, but reboots still occur.
It is probably a faulty Emmc chip, I will go to the store for warranty.

Phone constantly reboots and not able to format

Hey guys I have a weird problem. When i turn on the phone, it reboots itself after several second. When i take a photo or make a backup with titanium backup at that time, all data goes away after a reboot. I tried doing a factory reset and i tried to format all the data partition and it is no good. I am really frustrated because i cannot use my phone for more than a week and i cannot afford a new phone right now. Hope you guys can help me.

I waited a little bit longer and everything went well. I rebooted and the phone booted into my old custom rom with all my apps installed. I even got the same sms from 10days ago again like it is the first time. I played with it a little bit and it made a popping sound with instant bright screen and rebooted itself again. I think this is definitely a hardware issue what are your opinions?

I tried flash-all.bat and it didn't worked. Then I tried to lock the bootloader. It was a success, I even tried to unlock it and it said are you sure bla bla bla. I clicked no and rebooted and it booted to my same old friggin ROM!! I rebooted into the fastboot and it says unlocked again. I think that my phones emmc chip locked itself in a particular state and it doesnt allow any changes to be made on it. What should I do next? Is emmc repairable or should i start to searching for a new phone?

I have the exact same issue.
The phone shut itself down at some random point - if it is being charged or on a laptop it seems to be a bit more stable.
When it reboots, it goes into the status from the day it first happened. It asks to update apps again and even though they are updated, the next time the phone starts, it happens all over. If I delete an app, it will be there again after reboot/relaunch.
All the settings remain the same.
My phone is currently unlocked but not rooted and runs stock 4.3. I tried to flash stock 4.3 again and even 4.2 - later I tried Cyanogen. I use CWM to format /data, /system, /sdcard, deleted cache and devlink cache multiple times.
Each time it boot, it remains the same background, settings, and so on....
Bumping it up - really hope that someone has an idea what I could try to fix this...

I gave it to warranty and they said the eMMC chip is broken. They are going to fix it soon. But I already got myself an LG g2 so it does not matter anymore lol. Try the warranty and good luck.
