One beautiful day the phone just restarted from itself. (wasnt really shocked though) After that it entered again into a boot loop, Im saying again because it happened once before and i noticed it was the SD Card and I just had to format it. So far so good, but now it doesnt matter if I pull out the SD Card or SIM, even battery... once ive put the battery the phone starts booting from it self and restarts everytime on a different place, like samsung logo, CM logo, CWM recovery, download mode.. it just cant stay on one place so i can choose an option. Only once ive managed to do a cache and dalvik wipe, also didnt help. Keeps rebooting and rebooting. Ive tried different ways of booting, with USB cable, with the recharger adaptor and without them. Left it for a whole night without battery, didnt help. I cant even manage to flash the stock ROM again, still reboots. I thought the power button was stuck or something, tried moving it arround but also didnt help. If you ask how many time Ive flashed the device... well perhaps countless, about 40 times counting the stock firmware. (maybe this number for some other maniacs is little, but now i see it like too much, because im kinda attached to this phone, the previous HD2 suffered a lot more xD) So guys my question is, do you have any suggestions? Ive searched the internet to check if the symptoms are close to hard brick but... didnt really saw any identity.
So.....
Normal boot.....it reboots, shuts off reboots.......?
Recovery mode.....reboots, shuts off, reboots.......?
Download mode.....reboots, shuts off, reboots......?
Battery insertion.....reboots, shuts off, reboots.......?
Same sequence every time?
Irrespective of which of the above scenarios is taking place?
If you just sat and watched it without pressing any buttons, will it endlessly reboot, shut off, reboot?.....
During this cycle, does it get to the same point in the boot process before restarting?.....

Thank you! I thought nobody will answer. It reboots right after passing 3 to 5 seconds, sometimes on the CM Samsung splash, sometimes on the spinning CM circle(boot loading image), when i succeed entering CWM or download mode reboots again. I cant boot it normally and reach the home screen. I read something that it could be from the kernel boot code, im using CM 10 (if im not guessing wrong).
I've answered a number of threads in the XDA W forum where members were experiencing similar issues to yourself. I doubt it's software related as during access to download mode and recovery mode , the phone isn't even using the "main" system software and kernel....these modes use their own independent kernel and system (it would be HIGHLY unlikely that two separate systems and two separate kernels are suffering from the same fault).
If all of the symptoms I wrote about in my original reply apply to your phone, then it all points towards a faulty power button.
As I understand it, Samsung uses a type of button commonly referred to as "temporary push to make" which means that when you push the button, two contacts are bridged to make an electrical connection but when you release the button the contact is broken. Under normal circumstances, this "make, break" sequence will start a normal boot sequence. Under normal conditions, long pressing this button again will begin the shutdown process. Now assume for a moment that the button has become damaged....where this contact that is meant to be momentary, has in fact become permanent......the result would be a phone that will attempt to start up and shut down in an endless cycle....basically, YOUR phone........

Yeah, I also thought that as a reason but discarded it quickly because the button doesnt have any problems when pushing it. I mean it freely comes back when pushed and i can also freely push it without problems. Also discarded that problem because i thought the button cant stop the booting cycle while booting, but it seems like it can. Thanks for all the answering I will try fixing it and will report as soon as possible.
The plastic button is separate to the electrical part I described....so it is entirely possible for the part you normally touch to *seem* to be working as it should.....only for it to work against the faulty electrical part........
And yes, that type of fault IS caused by the permanent contact of a faulty electrical button. Anybody who has a normally booting W (as I do) can re create this fault simply by pressing and holding the power button......the phone WILL enter a boot/shut down/reboot cycle for as long as the button is held........
The same condition can be re created on my S2 in exactly the same way as well.....

Well.. bad news.. i've managed to disassemble it, tried to see whats wrong with the button (not the plastic one), tried moving it arround, nothing seems to be damaged, still stable at one place, also tried booting the phone 3 times without any covers and the result was the same...
Perhaps i should drive it to service.
Check your date of purchase.....Samsung phones have a two year warranty.......

Well bad luck here also, i got it almost brand new from England and I'm not from England. I bought it over online shop sold as a second hand long time ago, it was just a matter of time to damage him. Thanks anyway for all the help, I'll see what i can do with the service.
Bad luck mate.....word of caution though.....as you've found out, the button is soldered directly to the motherboard, Samsung's "modus operandi" seems to be rather than attempt to repair the button, simply replace the entire MB........for a phone that is outside warranty, this will have (erm) "cost implications" lol......basically they like to charge as much as they can in situations like these.....eg/ board replacement when button repair would be enough.....

True, my phone suffered the Power Off Loop as you may know from my previous thread. I decided to send my phone to a couple of repair shops and they said that the phone "cnt be repaired". i thought they knew about the change of MB but no. So rite now, my Galaxy W is in the grave ...

i had encountered this issue with my galaxy wonder today and would like to seek for solutions over the internet. regardless that i also checked the button by disassembling the covers and separated the plastic button with the one on the board and tried to boot it but it still the same.
as most of you guys experienced this issue, what would you guys suggest me to do with my phone? i wish to save this phone for sentimental reason. would change the button DIY-ly is worth it? is it available for me to get the parts?
or did you guys manage to get a better solution?
thanks!

Ok, so this is not my phone that I'm trying to fix. Its a buddy of mine that has never rooted or messed with his phone. Apparently this just suddenly happened out of no where. He can get into a 3 button bootloader but it says "reboot" "reboot bootloader" and "power down". Again this isn't my phone and I'm not familiar with HTC at all. Please help lol

similiar problem
I'm having a similiar problem and have read many threads and apparently the problem i'm dealing with is a hardware issue...apparently... I just don' understand how a phone will only boot up to the home screen for a moment and then go through boot loops. When i go into hboot it will stay there and never crash and never bootloop, it will literally stay there until batt dies. It seems a software issue or something to me??? I've rooted it, tried divers roms, radios, etc. all to no avail, so, I then unrooted. I have charged it all the while off and while on. I have pulled the charger and plugged it back up without turning it on just to make it as fully charged as I can. I have let it bootloop until it shuts itself off. I have left it in hboot until the battery completely died and then turned it back on and repeated this until it would not start again. Nothing has worked, I've called HTC and Sprint but it's not under warranty and I am broke.
I am desperate for help....desperate. I have no money to replace it. I will take any suggestions and at this point try anything since it is not under warranty. If anyone is up for a challenge and project, PLEASE pm me. I've exhausted my knowledge, i've even prayed. Can anyone here offer any advice? I'm willing to pull this thing apart and examine the internals but I don't know what to look for, perhaps someone else does though.
From my experience you can do one of two things.
1. Hold volume down and power until the bootloader screen shows up. When in there use the volume buttons to go down 2 to where it was wipe data/factory reset. Hit the power button to select it and then volume up to confirm. Everything on the phone is lost, nothing on the memory card is touched. Then give it a couple minutes when it restarts and it should boot fine.
2. Take the phone apart, I have seen some that bootloop and its because the camera is loose. I know it sounds weird, but over time with phones being dropped or just the movement of being in a pocket can cause the camera to become knocked even a little loose. Simply push on the camera and you will feel it lock into place. Then put the back plate back on and turn it on and you're done.
I bought a Samsung Glide i927 phone last month in the US, i bought it unlocked as i am from argentine, and i wanted to use it with movistar.
Recently the phone started to crash a lot, by that i mean that the screen starts going white, with horizontal lines and pixels of different colors appearing, then just turn off or restarts itself, only to crash again as soon as it starts an then turns off.
When this happens i try to start the phone and select the shut down option myself to see if the next time it starts it doesnt crash. But sooner or later it happens again.
This problem its happening too often, and not while doing something in particular like running an app or something. Sometimes it crashes just by plugging it to the power adapter, it even shows the white screen with the lines instead of the charging battery image when i charge it while turned off. I have already try to fix it upgrading android or doing a factory reset, but that didnt work.
Anyone have any idea of how to resolve the problem, or if its a hardware malfunction that cant be fixed?
To make things more difficult, as i said earlier im from argentine, and i cant go to AT&T or Samsung to get it fixed or get a replacement. English is not my first language, so please forgive my orthographic mistakes.
Thanks
This really sounds like some hardware problem, but to be safe, learn how to use Odin and use it to revert your phone to completely stock condition (cleaner than factory reset).

I tried to do that, but the first times when Odin try to reboot the phone it just freezes and i have to unplug it. After many tries it finally finished, but the phone keeps freezing and crashing.
The phone even crashes while turned of and conected to the power adapter.
Do you think that with LiteROM 0.9.0, that might fix this issues?
I've got reboots too, try to disable auto brighness

Power button issue
I am having a similar problem. At first, it just happened on rare occasions. However, today, it started doing it repeatedly. The phone was unusable. I did some checking around, and it appears that the power buttons on Samsung phones are prone to sticking. Some people suggest you actually remove the battery and slam the power button against a table. I wasn't going to do that, because I could just see it doing even more damage. What I did instead was firmly tap the power button repeatedly. It seemed to unstick the power button and allow the phone to function again.
Another alternative is to have the power button replaced, but that might be a hassle.
First of all, sorry for my bad english.
I bought it on amazon a few days ago, I have the same problem...
I thing aznemesis is right, because my power buttom is very sensitive, in fact, some times, when I press the button smooth and fast, to turn off the display like, the typical menu appears as if I had pressed the button for much longer period. Which proves your theory. The problem is if I hit the button over a table and the button breaks here in Chile do not exist spares of the terminal
Well, I did. I couldn't stand the desire to do so. After nearly 18 hours, the terminal isn't rebooted again.

The horizontal lines on the screen sound as if it is an overheating issue. What were you doing before your phone shut off? Are you using the factory charger?
cure found
take the battery out...blow on the power button with some compressed gas to get the dust out....then pour a drop of silicone based lubricant on the power button so that most of it gets in the gaps...then hit the power button a few times....haven't had any reboots since then
Hello all,
I'm got an I747 that one day just decided to stop working on me. I was running stock rooted firmware and have never tried custom roms.
The phone repeatedly tries to boot up and then shut down. I can't ever get pass the Samsung logo.
The same thing happens when trying to access recovery or download mode. I see the initial download/recovery screen and then the phone shuts off.
Is the motherboard toast?
My friend has an I747 as well but it has been blacklisted. Are there any parts I can swap from one another to get either one of them working?
Any help or input is appreciated.

Yes, just by inserting the battery the phone vibrates and begins to start up.
Once the Samsung logo appears it turns back off again.

Indicates Samsung stuck power button syndrome. A lot has been posted about this.
I would start with warranty service if available.
If not, search a lot & choose solutions carefully.
It happened once with my Captivate & teardown & blowout cured it,
though I never observed the physical defect (only the symptoms).
I have used apps to reduce my use of the button ever since, with GS2 & GS3.
Approach teardown with extreme caution if you are not experienced.
Gently tapping a table edge with the upper right has worked for some.

Thanks for the advice. I did not know this was a common problem.
Unfortunately I am out of warranty so I will try to fix this myself.
I have already taken apart the phone before so I am fine with tearing it down again.
What do you mean by blowout? Do I physically try to tap the power button of the mother board on a table edge?

Push out any dust or debris outward using forced dry air.
The gentle tapping of the button edge area is a pre-disassembly alternative.
Many opinions, experiences & videos have been posted. It's worth it to sample some first.
Hey all, I have a S3 i747 on rogers. I have had it for a couple years everything working fine and great, I rooted it after I bought it and it worked no problem. A week or two ago it suddenly shut itself off while I was using it. I didn't think much of it, then later that day again it turned itself off.
This time, it automatically tries to reboot but as soon as the logo appears it instantly turns itself back off again. It's not that it gets to a certain point, it's like there's a time limit on how far it can progress through the boot sequence, I estimate about 4-5 seconds. No matter what I try I cannot get it past this cut off time.
I have tried download mode, recovery mode, battery tricks (found on obscure sites), etc etc etc and still its stuck in this death loop. Im fine with buying a new phone, but I had not made a contact back-up for 6 months (no, I wasn't syncing with google) and have lost many, many new contacts as well as certain files and pictures that I wouldn't mind getting back.
Also, if I am very fast I can get the first page of recovery mode to pop up, but then the "time limit" hits and before any selections on the menu can be made it automatically reboots. If I leave the battery in, it will try every few minutes to boot repeatedly until the battery is completely zapped.

Does it still keep rebooting even in download mode? If not then try reflashing your stock rom.
Or maybe try booting up without an sd and without a sim card.

Also make sure to not hold the volume and home keys too long when going into download mode, once the phone vibrates you should be able to let go. I made the same mistake on my phone and then noticed i had been pressing the volume and power keys while download mode was starting, causing it to select cancel. If not though you are probably looking at some sort of internal hardware issue that may be causing the reset to trip or causing the phone to believe it should be shutting itself off at that moment. This is all purely speculation, but hope it helps.

I can't even make it into download mode, or recovery mode. Like I said, its as if the phone has a built in time-limit for how long it is going to load, the absolute farthest I can get is the first page of recovery mode and then boom it instantly resets before I can even make one selection, and I did this like 100 times in a row so I got very fast at getting into recovery mode. As per 2nd quote, yes I am releasing the buttons as I am supposed to to get into the appropriate mode, but the "time limit" hits and just reboots no matter what.
I've tried booting up without sim and sd card, but it still doesn't make it any further.

I would put my money on a bad power switch/button.

Yes, it acts like a stuck power button, a common problem with galaxy s phones.
If it auto starts when you insert the battery, that's a sure sign the power on circuit is active.
When my Captivate did this, I opened the back & carefully tapped it on a table edge to try dislodging any debris.
I then followed teardown instructions, inspected the switch assembly & blew it out with forced air.
The problem ended & never returned. I honestly don't think there was a physical defect in my phone's switch; more likely a residual charge on the mainboard.
Root causes vary as do solutions for the problem. Inexpensive switch replacement is a good one too.
Since then I have used a couple of apps to reduce the need for the gs3 power button.

Hello, new here and I know nothing about rooting nor have I rooted my phone but after looking all over the net I have come here in hopes of finding some tech wizards that can help me.
The Problem:
Turned phone off and a few hours later I tried turning it back on but it only shows the screen with model number and Samsung under it. It shows for a few seconds then the screen goes black and keeps looping like this. I have not rooted or anything. Not dropped in water ( water square is pink though). Phone shows no water damage or corrosion after opening.
What have I done?
I tried booting in recovery and download mode but i have never done it before and I was not successful at getting any other screen besides the model number Samsung screen.
I have tried a different battery after spending some time at the mall (no on carries it any more as it is no longer made) different battery did nothing. Repair guys suggested it may be the button sticking and said hey could clean it for $25. Instead I went home searched the web and disassembled my phone. I cleaned the button areas on the inside of the case and the contact on the inside attached to the circuit board. I have reassembled and it still does the same thing.
After more research I found a video saying to actually remove the internal button from the circuit board to stop the loop (which will leave me with no power button) I have not tried this as I am not that bold (yet).
I am wondering if it is a software problem that can be fixed by using Odin and installing the stock firmware but I just have not found a proper guide that makes enough sense for me to actually try. I don't want to waste my time with something I have never done and make things worse.
I have downloaded Odin and firmware from sammobile but that is about as far as I can go without some hand holding....
Thanks for reading my story any help would be much appreciated.

Try this - Press and hold Volume up + Home + Power buttons together a few seconds, you should get recovery mode. And then find factory reset.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried this many times and tried again after reading your reply. This should work fairly fast from what I understand right?
My phone is a virgin mobile phone (Canada) is it possible they have locked out recovery / download modes?
When I try to start in recovery nothing happens at all. Screen does not light, phone does not vibrate. Again I have never tried this until now so I don't know if the phone ever booted into these special modes when it was working.
