[Q] Phone boot loops couple hours after rom install

I have a galaxy s3 t999 rooted with team win recovery v2.6.0.0
No matter what rom i use, wether it be debloated stock or custom rom, after a couple hours my phone goes into a boot loop and the only thing that brings it back is a restore to when i rooted and installed the recovery.
Baseband- t999UVDMD5
Ive tried
universeS4 v3
Stockoroma
z999 UVDMD5 (Modified) Stock TouchWiz
[STOCK] T999UVDMD5 | 4.1.2 | Deodexed
all of them after 2-3 hours bootloop.
Can anyone help me with this? ive looked everywhere to see if anyone is having the same issue as me but no luck....

Have you factory reset after flashing and tried letting it run clean without installing any apps?
If all else fails, Odin flash back to stock and try again. Odin flash the root66 firmware to have the phone rooted.

I factory reset before i flash. Am i suppose to factory reset after flash as well? sorry if thats a noob question. ive been flashin roms for a few years now and never had this problem.

If you're going to factory reset, I generally suggest doing so after the flash. Its not unheard of for someone to factory reset, then reboot normally, then go and flash the rom. By rebooting they rebuild the data which was wiped to begin with. Then when they flash the rom wonder why it won't boot till factory resetting again.
If you don't reboot, it shouldn't really matter if you do so before or after flashing.
I also usually do so before, but suggest the other way for that reason.

I figured as much. I just reflashed the firmware only, factory reset, wiped cache and del, flashed universeS4, factory reset again, let phone boot fully, restarted phone and am gonna see where the phones at in the am when i wake up. If it still does it ill return to stock/odin with root66 and see if that will fix. if not im stuck on stock which sucks.
if anyone else has any suggestions let me know.
Thanks doc

UPDATE*
so i flashed back to stock with odin. then flashed root66. wiped cache and del, factory reset, wiped cache and del again, flashed universeS4 factory reset.
Its been 7 hours so far and no bootloop. Putting my simcard in it now and hoping for the best. Thank you again.

Cool man! :fingers-crossed:

*2nd UPDATE*
Wake up this morning to the phone boot looping. This sucks. Does anyone have any idea what i can do to fix this?

Noooooooooo!!!!!
That definitely sucks man. My best advice is to odin flash official stock firmware (root66 ok) and try the same thing. If it continues then I would check if its still under warranty as its probably hardware related. Aside from that I'm not really sure what else to suggest...

Anyway to reset thr ouya to factory

Okay silly question. I have my ouya modded and google play installed but keep having issues. In the event I get tired of trying to resolve these issues. Will performing a simple factory reset completely wipenaway all these mods or will I need to reflash the firmware? And if its a reflash of official firmware where would I obtain the file(s) to do so.
Thank you in advance

First it depends on what mods you've done. Like factory reset won't undo xposed framework or anything you've put into /system. All it does is wipe your data.

[Q] Factory Reset when rooted?

I apologize if this is covered elsewhere, I did not come across the question or answer in my search.
I have a Rogers Note II (GT-N7105/SGH-I317M).
It is running stock touch whiz 4.1.2. I had been running custom roms, but after their various issues, I am going with stock samsung at the moment.
I have TWRP installed as the custom recovery, and I used it to restore my backup I took right after rooting.
Not having any issues, but I am simply wanting to know if I can go into Settings >> Backup and Reset and the perform a factory reset of the phone to erase all apps and data.
I am not trying to unroot the phone or anything like that. This phone is a work phone and I am going to be turning it in for the Note 3 next week. I would like to erase my content before doing so, again, not trying to unroot it (I have the tools such as Triangle away, stock firmware and Odin) just want to do a wipe and reset it for the next person who may use it.
So again, the question. If I factory reset via settings will there be any issues or will it simply go back to a rooted blank rom with no apps data?
Or will I end up with a mess?
Thanks for the help!

Factory reset will only wipe your personal data that you entered nothing will affect system or any modifications on it you will see no mess just a clean phone

So I essentially will have a rooted phone with a romantic that is set back to stock? Which is exactly what I am trying to achieve.
The fact that I have twrp installed makes no difference?

Exactly it will not affect system you will have clean stock rooted with twrp installed

Thanks...
I did this many times before with rooted and romed htc devices running things like cm and insert coin + sense but I wasnt sure how pick an already picky Samsung rom would be when rooted.

[Q] I need a COMPLETE wipe + Factory. Help?

Between using different 4.1.2 ROM's and then wiping everything when Tweaked wigged out and f'ed up the phone with tons of popups and such, freezing and just getting sick of it... I decided to use one of the Android 4.3 FACTORY images - unroot, format EVERYTHING (I mean, EVERYTHING), and us Odin to install the factory image... the phone works fine for 2 days and with nothing on it, the thing pops up saying android.media and google play servgices has stopped working... I'm so tired of this, how do I just go completely BLANK SLATE and back to 100% factory? I thought I did that, but apparently not...

I'm not saying that you didn't, but did you try a simple reboot?
Maybe try also a factory reset.

Maybe you should have used phone for a couple of days in stock form and make sure there where no problems before messing with it, then flash.

Never mind I got it fix. I factory reset it after I have install the rom.
