I have an interesting problem, kind of. Bought my phone second hand as supposedly unlocked & debranded but on boot up it after the HTC logo I get the Virgin Media logo, not really an issue though. Anyway the problem is when I switch the phone off and then switch on again it boots up fine to the home screen and then it will reboot itself and carries on doing this. i.e. boot up to home screen then reboot again continuously.
To get out of this reboot loop I have to remove the sim & boot the phone with no sim in it then switch off and insert my normal Vodafone phone sim and switch on again. after that the phone is fine until I power down and then the same thing happens.
Anybody else experienced this or got any ideas?? It came with 1.15.405.4 firmware already installed and I have tried reflashing with the same firmware using the goldcard method & it worked but the problem remains. When the sim registers on the network is when the reboot loop seems to start.
did you try reflashing it ?
hold down the side button (down) and press on at the same time.
then select erase data and press on again
if you bought it second hand, its hard to say what the previous user has done with it ...
Yep tried reflashing it, just about to reflash again with an older rom. It's just wierd that a sim card authenticating to the network would cause a reboot loop.

Maybe it's a dumb question - But I'm having some issues that doesn't seem to get solved by a factory reset - Would it be an idea to reflash it for this, so the phone gets a fresh rom?
How would I do it specifically? Do you know of a guide somewhere?

have you tried a different sim card ?
Ye tried a different sim card, boots fine and all is good till you reboot the phone and then the same happens again. Anyways flashing was a disaster this time round as I was doing it on my work pc and Symantec kicked in thinking it found a virus with adb.exe and halted the process & quarrantined the file. Now everytime I try and reflash on a different PC I get the dreaded error(110):file open error. Disconnect the phone & all I get is a black screen & HTC logo. Nice. Thanks Symantec you've just bricked my Desire!!
*UPDATE* - Fixed.
Removed the battery, left it for a few hours then reflashed on a different pc and it flashed fine. Then thought I'd try & repeat so reflashed with the older rom from here (originally used the newer rom posted on Modaco) and got the error again and again couldn't flash back to the newer. Removed the battery left for an hour and then could reflash again and get it working!! Wierd
I had the same problem.
My Solution: remove battery, remove the SIM, put battery reboot, turnoff, remove battery, put SIM, put battery, boot
first i want to excuse my bad english,hope you will undestand what i´m trying to say.
i have the same problem since a few days.
first time i notice it,was when the desire was charching and i used it a bit,it restarts again and again.so i put out the battery and wait a few minutes,than it works.
it´s also,when i use it a long time with wifi or 3G....the the phone turns off and i have the boot loop.
but when i take out my sim,it works fine.
my question is,do i need a new sim or is it a hardware problem?
does anybody know?

i have the exact same problem!! any solution? after that the phone will boot loop over and over! damn!
I had the same problem last week.
I suspected it had to do with the EXT3 partition.
Solved it by first flashing the OTA 2.2 ROM (for rooted users) as this does not use the EXT3. Then used Rom manager to recreate the EXT3.
Now all ROMs that use the EXT3 run fine!
hmmp
as long as i know, i did not install anything on my phone lately so thats the problem so far and i think tequila98 also having the same problem as me, cause when i remove my sim card the phone works fine. but ive reset my phone yesterday and not restarting so far hope this will continue.
I really wished there was a dead fix to this problem we are all having!
My problem:
My phone was running fine until a few weeks ago. There was no rebooting problems when I first got my phone (April) and when I flashed my phone for the first time (May). Happened a few weeks ago when I was browsing on YouTube where my phone suddenly restarted on it's own.
Before it was once a couple of days, now it has gotten more frequent and annoying.
I don't think the heat is the problem because I don't go on the internet much because of my data plan. I use wifi when I browse the web, youtube, etc. And I certainly don't use Google maps or any heavy duty applications. That's just what I think...
My phone rebooted 3 times today in a time span of 4 hours? I noticed that my phone rebooted itself when I use the camera to take a picture or video. Doesn't happen everytime, but that's what happened today. Also, when my phone rebooted today, my application Advanced Task Killer was automatically removed from my phone! That was weird... But I experienced another reboot even after having the app removed.
I really hope someone can find the core of this problem and fix it!
My phone is running on DeFroST 2.0b Android 2.2
My battery stats: 42% for display, 26% for cell standby, 21% for phone idle, 4% for android system, 3% for voice calls, 2% for android OS

It's probably hardware problem with motherboard. Therefore I recommend you to take your phone to repair center and they should replace mobo with new one. That's what I did and now everything is ok.
I am having the exact same problem. Seems to be related to the SIM.
But the SIM works fine in another phone.
Did anyone find any more information?
If you get random reboots its most likely ther motherboard there is a massive thread about it on the forums. You need to send it off to a HTC repair centre.
Just got this problem.
I rooted yesterday. Today I made a nandroid backup. After that the phone is in a reboot loop.
How is this possible from just and backup???
Tnx.

Edit:
Restored backup and is working fine again.
nandroid backup loop

I will try it. Maybe the backup is not only a backup but also a remove? Strange.
I will comment if this works also for me.
EDIT: Restore helps
Hello!
For some time now my phone's been rebooting itself completely random it seems. I just got it back after sending it away to get this issue fixed. Obviously the "repair" didn't really do anything at all. All they did was to flash the latest software apparently.
I got quite fed up with the crashing and rebooting stuff, and figured that it wouldn't hurt to try to flash a custom ROM, in this case I chose to root the phone and try MiUi. I had no clue wether it would solve the issue I'm having, but I figured it was worth a try. So i rooted the phone and flashed the latest version of MiUi (1.11.18).
At the start it seemed like it had worked, and had stopped the phone from crashing. But after some time I realized that the issue is still there, only difference now is that it ONLY crashes when I lock the screen with the Power-button. EVERY SINGLE TIME I do this, in a matter of minutes it will either reboot or just turn black and totally unresponsive. Only way to get it on again is to take out the battery and put it back in.
This is starting to annoy the **** out of me, so I talked to my brother for advise this morning, and he told me to wipe my Dalvik Cache. So I did, and nothing changed, the phone keeps on living it's own life.
I have absolutely no clue what info you guys might need to help me with this, but I'll start with this:
Phone: HTC Desire HD
Android-version: 2.3.7
Kernel-version: 2.6.35.14-cyanogenmod-g319b6e2
ROM: MiUi 1.11.18
Also, the motherboard's been switched once, cause of another issue that is now gone.
ANY help is appreciated, I just want to be able to use the phone normally!
EDIT: Also it seems that the phone won't reboot or crash whenever it's charging.
Sounds like a hardware/software issue your best bet is getting a replacement and re rooting .

looking for some suggestions as to what I can to to correct these issues. I have a 210R that I screwed up probably flashed something I should not have... to restore I went to sam mobil and downloaded the latest firmware ( T210RUEU0COB1), installed using Oden and restored the Tab. since I have done this (and yes I redownloaded the firmware and reinstalled to make sure it was a good file and installation) the tab now will boot up fine, but will come up with the error messages Process com.androis.systemui has stopped and often com.sec.android.flashbarservice has stopped as well clicking ok will sometimes let me continue, other times will simply reboot. If it lets me continue whatever app I am using will quickly stop as well and the tab reboots. in addition to this the WiFi barely recieves any signal unless I am almost on top of the router. it is currently stock. Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated.
Having the same problems minus wifi issues

Dude my tablet is in the same state I use. The many reboots. All apps/process stopping for no reason. Funny thing is this started happening to me after I received an OTA update for 4.4.2 and flashed it. So basically the official update released by samsung messed up my phone. Somebody please respond with suggestions/solutions.
Sigh.... guess I'll just use it as a paperweight ..
Hello,
I have an I9195 S4 mini that's relatively new, about 3-4 months, but the problem has been there from the beginning. I have sent it to repairs under warranty 3 times now but nothing's changed, so I decided it was time I took the things into my own hands.
The phone reboots while using WhatsApp. I have tried uninstalling all the other apps and nothing changed. So, only when using WhatsApp it restarts, but that's a huge problem for me since i want to use WhatsApp regularly, all day long sometimes.
What's there to do? Flashing a custom ROM?
Thanks in advance.

Well, if u still have warranty on it, you should go there and explain them very well what is happening, that their service did nothing to help you, and that you want this problem solved, you should be taking advantage of your warranty, if it does reboot on a stock rom, then the rom isn't the problem, anyway, if you really want to flash something , try flashing a newer version(if it is available in your country) trought Samsung KIES, you can get the firmware from sammobile.com
The warranty won't help sadly. I've tried it but they can't help. I'd rather have something done myself than them keeping the phone for 20 days and doing nothing.
The version on the phone is xxucnj6. I've found the same one on sammobile, it says it's Russian Black addition 4.4.2.
Do you have any suggestions to what else I should flash ( there's no new updates for S4 mini).
Thanks.
Hey, guys. Hopefully one of you can help me. I've been having problems with my Galaxy tab 3 (Sprint version) all damn day and I figured I'd ask for help before I utterly destroy it.
So, I've been trying to restore the tablet to factory and nothing I do is working. It was rooted in the past but it was all undone before it was given to me a couple of years ago.
Anyway, I've downloaded the stock os from here, sammobile, and another source, but no matter which I use I seem to run into the same issues. (All flashed with odin 3.12)
1.) When resetting the tablet to factory before or after flashing, I almost constantly seem to get the message, "process system isn't responding."
2.) Keyboard seems unresponsive.
3.) Wifi doesn't seem to stay on, doesn't even let me get to where I can scan for signals.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Sorry!
Can't help just because I don't own a T217S but I own a T210 instead!
They are two different models!
So yeah!
Good luck with what you are doing!
Cheers,
Diamond26
I have the same problem - Process system isn't responding Do you want to close it? I can't reply because the touch screen isn't working now. Anyone know what I should do?
What rom do you have on now?
