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:

Hi all
This whole saga of auto reboot started when I started flashing custom kernels. Here's the situation, irrespective of the rom when I flash a custom kernel and switch off the phone to charge it up...the phone automatically restarts after sometime...there's no specific time at which it restarts but my hunch is that as soon as the phone reaches 100% charge it just reboots itself...I simply have no clue why this is happening...
Thinking that this could be a custom kernel/ rom issue, I went back to stock via the RUU route...this means everything is stock except for the recovery which is CWM...Guess what, the phone restarted again after being switched off for a while...I'm absolutely clueless..pls let me know if anyone else has had the same issue...

If you have done the revert-to-stock-RUU thingy and still the problem persists, i think it is a hardware defect my friend. revert to stock then ask your provider for repair or replacement if it is under warranty:cyclops:
Hi...I've searched everywhere and I haven't seen anything close to my issue. But if there is and I missed it I apologize in advance and I appreciate any help/advice.
Well I rooted my phone from 4.3 with no issues. I used safe root so it wouldnt trip knox. I flashed sokp's 4.4.2 ROM with the proper gapps and agni kernel. My issue started after I tried updating my camera with photosphere 4.3. I went to use the 3d feature and it shut my phone off and started to loop. Also flashed the camera fix zip but that didn't help either. I got into recovery using cwm and wiped everything from the cache to data, almost to the point of no service. So i flashed beanstalk 4.3 rom hoping it would solve problem but it didn't. I even did a factory reset (didnt work) and found a rooted stock ROM I flashed thru Odin then back to beanstalk, all to no avail. Now I have to keep my phone plugged into a power source in order for my phone load past "sgn2" screen. And if I unplug it then it resets phone and loops. I also noticed that with beanstalk I have no kernel(well it reads unavailable). I was thinking that maybe after the camera failed that some data or something maybe corrupted. Is there a way to wipe everything to the beginning, like fresh from at&t, so It will stop looping and I don't have to keep my phone plugged into the wall?
Also with mean bean I can uplug my phone for a few min before it resets but if I try to open any apps it resets. It seems as though my phone isn't getting enough power.
Again all help is greatly appreciated
My Galaxy S3 keeps shutting off during boot. I encountered this problem while running Cmod 11. Was using poweramp playing music off my 64gb exFat microsd card, and suddenly Poweramp encounters "Error too many files" and promptly shuts the phone down. (Poweramp has been giving me strange problems before this, like that error just mentioned, and scanning for changes when there are none, but this is the first time the error caused the phone to shut down).
After rebooting it, The S3 gets to the boot screen and upon opening an app, promptly shuts down again. Further attempts result in the phone shutting off during the boot animation, and finally now the phone simply shuts down right before the boot animation. (note: it doesn't reboot. It turns itself off).
I thought it might be a problem with Cmod, so I wiped everything and using CWM, installed slimkat. Same problem. so I went and installed stock android using Odin, and now I'm back to stock. STILL same problem.
When I have the phone plugged into a computer, it seems to get further than the boot animation before shutting down (sometimes it gets to the lockscreen before shutting down again).
Any idea what's causing this problem? I have no problems with erratic shutdowns during recovery and download mode.
How old is your battery? Might be time to replace it.
This is the same battery the phone came with since a couple years ago. Assuming it is a problem with the battery, why does recovery and download mode still work fine?

They're not as heavy to load.
Was any modification done to your phone (software) about when that started happening?
The s3's been on and off custom roms for a year now

I mean before it started happening. Or were you on the same ROM/version of that ROM for a while when it happened.
Been on cmod for a year before it happened. Reverted to stock rom about a month ago to unlock it, and then straight back to cmod. A couple days after coming back to cmod, this happens.

Well if you can get in recovery, I would suggest doing a clean flash. But chances are that it's your battery giving out.
If you want to test, borrow a battery from another S3. I know with T-Mobile you can go to a store and they usually have a device on hand that you can borrow one from to test it out before spending money on it. I imagine you can do this at AT&T stores as well.
had the same problem with my atnt galaxy s3
i have the same problem,,i am using cm12 ryt now,,i tried to put every single rom and same thing happens,,i also brought it back to its stock firmware,,and still the problem occurs... did u find any solution for it,already?
:crying:
So i was using Darthstalker v3 and arter97 kernel 9.3 with no issues.
Suddenly one day, i noticed screen flicker when waking the device, followed by hesitation. So my first step was to wipe the dalvik/cache. That apparently did not help.
I then lost my bootup logos, as well as shut down, along with the screen pretty much refusing to come on.
I used smart switch to emergency recover the stock firmware. Nothing. Then i Odined a stock untouched rom. No change. Once i actually got the phone to render the screen in recovery, so i wiped everything three times, and and flashed darthstalker v6. I also rooted the phone again just before that. I
So when the phone is powered off, the battery icon is present, and the screen wakes to that no problem. Since i set the device to never timeout while charging,
when i plug it in, the screen comes on, but as soon as i try to touch it, poof, the rendering of the screen goes. But, while this occurs, i can hear the icons being pressed,
etc. Completely stumped as to what to do. Can someone help?
[SOLVED]
strangely enough, I found a solution in a most peculiar way.
I managed to finally get into the phone by charging to 100 percent. Then, I downloaded flashify, and attempted to flash tekxodus rom, as well as selecting dalvik and cache wipe.
The flash did not work. the phone just rebooted. Then, I downloaded rom manager premium, and then rom manager attempted its prerequisite attempt to detect my recovery. (up until that point, I had twrp installed).
The detection lingered, so I pressed the back key and selected reboot into recovery. Surprisingly enough, I was back in Stock recovery.
So apparently the solution to the anomaly I encountered in the OP, is to either follow the simple steps above, or, to flash stock recovery in Odin. If that is at all possible for the user. I can confirm the above worked for me as I tried everything for the last week and this was the only method that worked.
The shutdown/startup logos are back, with no screen flicker or hesitation on sleep/wake.

yeah i just suddenly started having this problem. my phone would reboot itself and then it would be updating apps as if i just flashed xposed or something, my phone would have issues with wifi, flickering lockscreen, and if you rub the screen while its off which wouldl show you information stream doesnt work either. Decided to dump the rom. Am going with the TEKXodus N5 with arter kernel

It's just like I told you. When I read that you had experienced the same precursors that I came across with the rom, I had a hunch you would be soon after posting the exact issues that I eventually ran into.
So when you download Tekxodus and flash, please keep me informed as to if it resolves the issue. As you are aware, stock firmware has not resolved the problem for me, but then again devices vary.
So enjoy the fix if you ever run into the above issue.
Im fine with stock, but I miss the fun of trying new roms.
Hello,
my phone is stuck in reboot loop since yesterday.
I have this phone since 2 years. It was rooted and on fulmics 5.3. Since few weeks i had random reboots, more and more often, since yesterday when it became unusable because of the reboots.
It wasn't in bootloop, but the phone starts, the rom loads, and after some seconds it reboots.
So i changed rom, went on exodus, but the problem remanins. The rom boots, and after 1 or 2 mins it reboots, go in bootloop, then starts and reboots again.
Today i've made the Flashtool procedure to go back on stock, but the problem still remain. The rom booted, changed the language then rebooted again.
Wad can i do now?
Thanks
perhaps to be hardware problems, there are some parts of poor contact caused by repeatedly reboot
its not the problem of rom . its a battery issue
replace battery
Maybe this ^
I'm using phone connected to power and it seems to works!
Thanks!
Buy a new battery
