This is a list of events that I have gone through today. I received a new charger because the old one I had became defective & was charging my phone up & then it would go back down to 0% & then shut off & it would end up in a problem where the phone would not turn on unless I pulled out the battery while the AC was in & then it was able to charge but still it would turn on, on its own to drain the battery when off & this was very frustrating. The charger I have now works but the device acts strange over the last few months doing a task29 & flashing the first ROM after would make that ROM not work & then I had to flash a totally different ROM to make it work. I was using Android & it had died a few times & also I experienced the same thing I did when it would charge up & go back down to 0%. please read below:
I got my new charger today & at 62% of charge I decided to flash to a custom ROM via mem card again well the ROM was a success but when pulling battery out to restart it didnt want to work. So I went to flash again in bootloader by memory card it shut off on me in the middle & restarted into bootloader again & shut off again right away. I did a task29 it worked got it out of bootloader & now the orange led flashes off & on when its off & now ive gotten that to stop. What exactly is wrong with this device?
it was @ 73% and finally setup a ROM NRGY however it ended up shutting off on its self & going into a power boot loop constantly restarting until that ROM can no longer start & now its stuck on the boot screen w/ its info.
I flashed the stock SPL on USB now im going to try to flash the carriers ROM back.
Stock SPL = Successful!
2nd Touch Pro 2 ROM Version Flash = Successful!
Its working for now. Battery is @ 80%
AHH! After charging to 100% idk what it did but when I went into the other room to check out its all possessed.
I have a black screen w/ white text that says:
The device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from untrusted source.
Press Volume Up to reset your device or press any other button to cancel.
This operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to its factory default settings.
IDK how this happened.
When I hit any key it didnt do anything it was stuck until I did a battery pull. Then I restarted the device it was stuck at the boot screen w/ its red info. It erased the entire ROM. Then I tried to do recover mode & it did nothing. I tried to flash the stock ROM again & no results & then again & still no results. I think its now not accepting the ROM at all since from: in the ROM update utility is blank.
Now it decides to get past the boot screen but then it malfunctions again & restarts itself & it tries to setup a 2nd time then after it does & its on sense home for a couple of mins it reboots twice & now its stuck on the boot screen again.
Things that I can think of.
- Isn't your batterie just broken? You will break your batteries when you deplete them completely. Maybe try a new batterie, because you said that you let it die for a few times. It could be that this is causing your problems.
- Did you flash true usb when you were in the bootloader? Give that a try, because I believe that the customruu performs some sort of checks. Maybe this is nonsens, but you can try it.
The battery was fully charged & it was working better than before.
I reflashed the Stock SPL to flash the carriers ROM back & that worked but at anytime it just rebooted for whatever reason to make it so the ROM was unusable at any time I would reboot it would decide to actually go past it seldom. I experienced that at one point oddly it went into setup n it did it again after a while its just acting strange.
If you're back to stock SPL and stock ROM, can't you just send it back for a warranty replacement ?
IDK how old it is. I bought it brand new from ebay.

No warranty bro...
You can try but no warranty 9/10 times.
What ROM are you using? I used to have that issue with my betas.
It wld destroy itself after softreset and I would have to reflash.
Try to flash, turn off right after it boots, turn on and see how that works for ya.
Rep had told me I could get it replaced & they know I bought from ebay. But I havent called them on this yet.
It doesnt work. It usually doesnt go past the boot screen. Flashing does nothing to help it. Whenever it feels like it it may have to stay on for a few mins to go into setup but most of the time it will stay there & reboot, reboot, reboot, reboot each time its a different # of times & it will reset itself at anytime. Ive even had bootloader shut off on me & restart itself during flashing its a pain. I had another issue I didnt mention my device on any custom ROM when I had 0.85 olinex SPL the device would just freeze & not respond every time. Now this is a different situation. I am back of SPL 0.87 which is the default. I flashed the entire carrier ROM which 0.79 was rewritten w/ 0.87 & that was successful but its still rebooting & causing fatal problems including the black screen w/ white text.
UPDATE: I just walked into the kitchen. Somehow the device turned on by itself & now its sitting on the sense home screen. I know its not fixed but idk why it would turn itself on.
Moved as not ROM Development.
Try flashing task 29 1st... Might be because when you flash remnants of the older OS are still there causing trouble. Remember though, you need to have Hard SPLed it 1st....
I got so frustrated I just got done calling T-Mobile Tech Support & they are going to ship me a replacement.

I thought I would reply to you.
This is what started my problems is when I did a task 29 my device was acting funny afterwards. I did it again about a month later cuz I flashed way too much & it kept getting worse. But Task29 didnt help this time its what caused me to have to flash 2 different ROMs cuz the first one I flash after doesnt work.
I received the battery & it didnt do anything.
I'm still waiting on the replacement to come.
I have a stock GN, not rooted yet. Today my phone automatically shut off and now it starts back up, google logo shows up and all those colors come on for couple of seconds and then the phone reboots itself.
I can press both volume up+volume down + power button and get into a menu which gives me the options of Start, Restart bootloader, recovery mode, and power off. I choose recovery mode but then it goes on to an android sign with exclamation mark. After that I can't seem to get anywhere. I have tried volume up +power, volume down+power, and volume up+down+power but nothing seems to work. It just keeps on rebooting it self.
Any solutions to this problem??
There are two possibilities:
1) Software problem. Since you were stock, this is unlikely.
2) Hardware problem. This is more likely, in my opinion.
If you want to eliminate 1) as a possibility, you can try this:
1. Download the GNex Toolkit here
2. Install it & get the drivers working on your computer (if you haven't already)
3. Unlock the bootloader by selecting Option 3 (it'll wipe your phone)
4. Flash factory stock rom by selecting option 8
5. Try it. If it works, congratulations. (if you want to re-lock your bootloader, use option 11)
If this doesn't work, relock your bootloader and send it in for warrantee. (most likely a hardware problem)

So, I did the above method and after flashing the factory stock rom it won't start up anymore. It doesn't respond to anything at all. It seems I've bricked it
Is there any way to unrbick it now? I'm assuming I can't send it in for warranty either now if it's semi bricked. Unless it's been completely bricked which means there is still a chance of getting a replacement phone.
I have the same prob on rooted SGN
This morning I switched off the airplane mode to be available, system crashed and restarted. And then still the same again - booting / android logo / restart again.. /./. I am using Android Revolution HD 2.1.5, for last month with no problems.
I tried to boot into recovery, then wipe the cache and reflash rom and radio from sd, it is still the same. I can see all the files on my int. sd with no probs.
Please help.
I'm thinking it might be a hardware issue, but I'll wait for another member's opinion before confirming.
Solved!!!
That's what I thought - HW prob, but it seems that luck is on my side, I hope. It helped to get back on stock but with total deletion including int partition
Anyway thanks for support.

Was your phone rooted or bootloader unlocked before the problem occurred?
Anyways I've sent in my phone for warranty, hopefully samsung will fix it.
So my phone company called me today and apparently Samsung told them that it's corrosion(?) problem. When I asked exactly what does that mean they said it's moisture damage or physical damage that probably caused it. But I'm confused how could my phone possibly get moisture damage inside an otter box. I know how delegate these devices are and I know how to take care of them.
Anyhow it'll be $90 to fix it. I had no other option so I asked them to go ahead with the repairs. So frustrated with Samsung to be honest. I never dropped my phone once, never had any water damage, phone was always inside the defender case. And I still have to pay them for fixing my phone even though it's not my fault.
That's quite worrying, I just started having boot loop problems today. I've had the phone since Feb 29th and not had a problem with it yet, but today it started boot looping. I went into recovery and did a factory reset, was alright for a couple of hours then it crashed, started bootlooping again. Running stock 4.0.2 unrooted, I'm wondering if flashing 4.0.4 might help.
I'm in the same boat.... unrooting stock 4.0.1 firmware - canadian version from Negri.
April 23rd my phone crashed and started boot looping. Google logo - reboot - Google logo - reboot
Factory reset worked. I installed less apps than I had before figuring perhaps an app was corrupting something.
Yesterday - it happened again. Phone crashed. Boot loop. Factory Reset worked. Installed even fewer apps.
We'll see what happens this time around. I am hoping it is just a software thing. Hoping 4.0.4 gets pushed soon too.....
I've been having the same issue, plus sometimes my home screen it would lock up and wouldn't let me do anything, so I did a battery pull and it would boot loop for a half hour.
After the 3rd time I just took it to my Verizon wireless store, and showed them the situation and they couldn't figure it out, so their sending me a replacement, which I'm not looking forward too, don't want a semi-used phone....
Via Galaxy Nexus [LTE]
Rebooting Issue Solved.
I was also a troubled Samsung Galaxy Nexus user and my phone kept restarting more than half a dozen times everyday. Most of the times when I switched between two or more applications, or when it was simply idle on my desk.
However, I found a solution (at least in my case). All I did was root my phone, install cwm recovery, and flash a custom rom after wiping cache and factory resetting the phone, It's been about 5 to 6 hours now since I flashed the custom rom and I haven't had a single reboot or hang since.
Others who face this problem, please give it a shot, who knows? You might save your Galaxy Nexus instead of sending it back to get a replacement or spend some money on it for repairs which aren't even required in the first place.
I also had this problem unrooted. I had to give it to Samsung for the warranty
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Trinity Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
I got my nexus yesterday, almost immediately after first start it start to install JB from OTA.
I did buy 2000mAh samsung original battery and started straight with it. not even testing with 1750mAh bat.
after installing JB and needed softwares, it started to randomly reboot.
it rebooted even it was just in my pocket.
sometimes when I did do something, display freezed and after about 5sec it rebooted.
Now I did changed to original 1750mAh, and it havent boot at all couple hours, even I did play angrybirds space.
I wont dare to root it before I am very sure problem is with 2000mah battery.

I could be wrong, but have you tried to clean the pin on the battery? Seems like battery and the phone isn't contracting too well
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
Little update, phone did continue rebooting with original 1750mAh battery also.
I did also reset with recovery mode, and after that it did also reboot one time.
like it uses all memory/cpu and when nothing to do reboot (like windows )
I also did flash stock rom with toolkit but no help.
I will test rooting phone and flash another rom, or is it useless ?
after using couple days, not yet rooted.
Phone works and wont reboot even in heavy stress. but sometimes it just reboots by own not a single program in task list.
might reboot right after previous reboot or take hours to reboot.
stupid phone
I have been done some research.
I did one more time reflash google stock with rootkit, and forgot lock phone, it was almost 3 hours by own in wifi, no reboots at all.
when I noticed that I forgot to lock it I rooted whole phone and installed paranoid android 2.13 with CWM.
Now Ive been using 2 hours without any reboot, installing software, setting things up and using apps.
I dont understand at all:silly:
edit: noup, yesterday evening one almost reboot, paranoid android did reset itself but didnt even reset uptime. so I didnt count that normal reboot.
but after wake up this morning, it did reboot once when I put in my pocket, another just lying on table, once activating bluetooth in my car.
going to send it back to seller.
I have a similar issue, although not quite the same. Last night my phone started boot looping - it managed to boot up to the lock screen, and I can use it for about a minute before it dies and then reboots. This continues again and again (I have to pull the battery to quit it).
I have stock JB on my GSM GN, but rooted with an unlocked bootloader / CWM. I restored my old CWM backup, and had the same issue. I also wiped the cache and the dalvik just to see if that helped, but I had the same issue. I then tried to do a factory reset in CWM, but after I did that the boot loop just got to the nexus logo and died, entering a new (slightly shorter) boot loop. I went back into recovery and reflashed my CWM backup, and that at least got me back to booting into android.
I can't understand what's going on - could it be a hardware issue if it will happily stay alive in recovery, but dies after 1-2mins of android?
Thanks for your help. If it is hardware then I hope I can reflash the stock recovery / bootloader and unroot through recovery... the phone doesn't stay on long enough to do it when it's booted into full android!
Hi, I have been running JellyTime 4.2 R11 for few weeks now on my S-OFF Desire HD.
Today, I noticed that the light was blinking and battery was low 6%, so I decided to put it into charger, and somehow when I connected it soon I accidently disconnected the charger, and when I put it back, the phone probably crashed or something, since it went black and the white screen with HTC logo appeared and it started to boot again. Now, JellyTime tries to boot, the bootanimation goes fine for sometime but then it gets stuck after "playing" the bootanimation for a while, nothing happens, even if I wait 5 minutes, it's stuck, bootanimation is frozen, no matter do I have the charger connected or not.
So, is there anything I could do, or is reflashing the only solution? I did full wipe when I flashed the ROM.
If you need more information, sure, just ask.
You could try dirty flashing, but if that doesn't work you'll have to reflash.

Thanks for the tip, but it didn't help, gets stuck still on bootanimation.
Time to full wipe and flash it again then. Wipe&FlashTime
Happened to me a few times. I suggest a battery pull before anything else. Seems stupid. But it can work in some cases

I did battery pull several times considering that the phone refused to shutdown even when holding the power button for 10 secs, so battery pull was needed every time.
Anyway, it's now running fine when I reflashed.

I have the same problem since a crash on opening the outlook-email App (JellyTime 4.2 R9).
I found, that the "data" partition causes the trouble when booting. Formating the "data" partition with "4ext recovery" fixes boot-freezing. But this is not an option for me as my last (working) backup is a couple of months ago (yes, I know - should backup more frequently...).
I was able to backup the up-to-date "data" partition (with 4ext recovery) but when restoring it (even on an fully wiped and updated system) boot sequence freezes again.
Any ideas???
Many thanks!
Solved the problem with the data-backup. Instead of restoring complete partition the APP "AppExtractor" works fine for restoring data of the partition backuped.
For now, system runs perfectly.
Conclusion:
If system hangs in Boot-Animation use Recovery for backup of up-to-date system. Full wipe system and install ROM of your choise. After that restore SMS, contacts, etc. with "AppExtractor". Apps should be installed from PlayStore as far as possible. "AppExtractor" allows restoring of app, data+app, data.
I was using my phone earlier today and was attempting to extract an archived file with OfficeSuite 7. I had merely 400-500 of free space available at this point. After a few attempts and cancellations due to failure to extract I decided to restart my phone. Upon restarting it continuously will vibrate, show the Samsung logo for a moment, the screen will flicker off and it loops through that process all over again indefinitely. I can access download mode and recovery mode. I tried clearing the cache through recovery and removing the battery as well as smacking around the power button but it did not fix the problem.
I'm using stock TouchWiz Android 4.1.1 partly debloated, rooted, and stock recovery (because this ROM reflashes the stock recovery after a reset if a non stock recovery is installed).
I figure a factory reset might be the fix but I would need to extract my apps, settings, and SMS/all other data and I'm not sure how to do this with the phone in this condition and without an external SD card. Maybe I could flash ClockWorkMod, do a nandroid backup, and than extract this data with Titanium Backup? Can Titanium Backup do all that I am asking (I've barely used it)? Does anyone have an idea as to what the cause of the problem is to have this suddenly happen? I'm thinking it's the power button malfunctioning. The day prior twice my phone turned itself off.
Twrp has built in file manager. Copy to sd, then to computer?
Otherwise look into ADB.
what is happening
strange I am have the same issues . from working great to now FC and rebooting . almost like it the power button malfunctioning but it is not. Its something more. I was running DocHoliday 4.3 and was great . then I tried Aamir Mod V2 UVDMD5 4.3 same great . but this morning noticed it kept rebooting for no reason . wiped reset, nothing . looped and looped . wipe/reset and re-flashed and it will only stay on for a mintue . and if sleeps will not turn it F/C as soon as I touch power button.. crazy ???
anyone having the same problems with any 4.3 ROMs ??
I'm having the problem on my S3, but I'm not on 4.3 yet....
I already had this issue once 2 weeks ago and I factory wiped and started over. Fast forward two weeks forward and it started again today. WTF?

Are you using TWRP? I had a similar issue, upgraded to newest TWRP 2.6.3.1 and it was fixed. Before this I tried everything, factory reset/modem upgrade/different roms.. and it wasn't working..other than a rooted touchwiz rom.
Give it a shot.. might work..
As per Perseus71:
Install TWRP 2.6.3.1. Then take a Nandroid.
Next wipe /Data. Then flash your Custom Rom. Wipe Dalvik + Cache after the Flash.
Hi All,
I am not sure if this is a hardware issue that I am facing or what.
Basically I was running Linaro CM11 which was working fine, but I got a goo.im that a update was available. So I downloaded and flashed this.
Everything seemed fine except after 5 minutes the phone did a reboot, it started up fine and same thing kept happening. So I flashed back to the previous version but the problem persisted.
So I downloaded a stock N7100 UK vodafone rom, flashed this but while doing so it seems the usb cable I was usb wasn't 100% and it crashed mid flash.
I used a JTAG to get the phone back into download mode and using a new cable re flashed the above stock rom. since the any stock ROM i flash goes into deep sleep and usually WONT wake up.
So i decided to re flash CM10 stable, which does not suffer the deep sleep but does suffer with reboots every few minutes so tried CM11, also tried a few other ROMS and im suffering either deep sleep or a reboot.
What is wrong with my phone, second to this I cannot turn on bluetooth if I try to on stock or custom the phone either just toggles straight back off or freezes completely and restarts itself or stays like that just hanging.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just to add to this post, iv tried Sammy 4.3, 4.1.2 & 4.0.1 I think on the last one all do more or less the same except they all crash loads on first boot. Some are unusable. Iv also tried Irish rom, France, Spain.
Same thing happens on all soon as the screen goes off it is almost impossible to get the phone to wake up. Also tried other kernels again with the same result or worse the room packs in.
Help :crying:
