I restarted my phone a week ago, after that the phone would stay at the boot animation and would not load.
I found out that giving it a factory reset fixes it.
But here's the catch, if I restart the phone, it gets stuck in the bootloop again.
I even switched roms and it still does it.
Any ideas?
Nevermind: I fixed it. Apparently the SD I had was ****ing things up.
Should have figured it since now that I recall, my uncle left it home after it ****ed up an SII he had.
Please detele thread, mods.

Hey all, first time poster. I wrote a real nice explanation of my problem, but i lost it so anyways, i'll keep it short(ish).
The EVO is less than 3 weeks old, running the latest OTA, recently rooted using UnrEVOked 3, nothing fancy. I ran the battery down completely last night (first time since i got the phone) and once i got to a power source, it wouldn't boot correctly. It hangs at the white splash screen, and then finally boots up but won't respond to any touch input.
Also the phone seems to be running exceedingly slow, the boot process takes substantially long than normal once it gets past the splash screen and my live background is freezing and seems to be stuttering.
I launched into the bootloader and i get a "Touch Panel - Fail". LAME!
I'm not sure what to do at this point, whether i should wipe it or go back to stock or what. Any advice would be much appreciated.
UPDATE:
I managed to get the phone into the recovery console, make a back up (i was planning on going back to the stock image) and wipe the dalvik cache and fix permissions. I rebooted and voila! fixed. Hopes this helps any one else who has this problem.
Moral of this story: Travel with a charger.
Another update. It froze up again in the middle of sending a text. I rebooted by battery removal, and it did the same thing again. Super long splash screen and sluggish boot up, no touch response when it finally came up. I booted into recovery and cleared the dalvik cache again. Seems to be working again now. We'll see if it does it again.....
Well, the screen locked up again. I tried going through the whole process again. I wiped the caches and battery stats, nothing. I wiped all the storage and data, booted into a clean stock interface, nothing. Restored the backup image, and then at some point, through all the rebooting and whatnot, it just shut down completely. I can't even get it to the bootloader. I'm really feeling like it's a hardware problem, and i've made peace with sending it back for TEP, but i have no way to unroot it.
Any suggestions? Please......
Theres unroot processes out there. I cant remember where but ive seen them. Mine gets sluggish too, but after a reboot its ok. You cant even get into the bootloader tho. I'm not even close to an expert but.......uh I'd 'lose' it and call the insurance co....
The problem only happens when I reboot or turn on the phone. When it boots up, I get multiple results. A: It boots up normally (not a problem) B: When it gets to the samsung screen, it freaks out and reboots itself again and again. It's like it's struggling to boot up. One time it got to the gs 3, but then it looped back. C: This just happened today. I booted up and it went pass the samsung screen but when it got to the gs 3 screen, the screen turned a faint pink and it stayed on that screen.
This just happened right after version 8. I know 10 was messed up but on 9 and 11, this problem persisted. Also,I don't think the issue is the phone, since I don't have this problem on other Roms. If I'm wrong please let me know .
Any suggestions, advice, help, etc is welcomed.
Please... i really need help.
I suggest you start over, this will remove any corruption and gremlins you have klinging to your phone..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099.. Then re root and flash anew.

I unrooted, went back to stock, it did a factory reset so no bugs should have been alive. I re-rooted, made a backup, did a factory reset and wiped dalvik, then I flashed the rom zip and rebooted. It gets stuck on the Gs III screen. I waited like 5 minutes and it didn't move. My battery was at 50% so I just put it on the charger and tried to boot up and it went through to the set up screen for gmail.Just to see if it was coincedental, I did another reboot but this time it got stuck again. It sounds like a system problem but i'm not sure.Like i said earlier, this only happens on Jellybomb.
Any other ideas?
Edit: I've tried switching recoveries but it doesn't fix it.
Sigh.
i followed this guide
teamandroid.com/2016/03/08/update-tmobile-galaxy-note-2-t889-android-601-resurrection-remix-marshmallow-custom-rom/2/
and it worked perfectly until yesterday
the other day i looked at my phone and it formatted and restarted on its own. i didnt really lose much.
so i accepted it and reset up all my apps and such, and then when my phone died and i charged it
it got stuck in boot loop forever
i tried wiping both cache and reboot recovery it skips boot loop long enough to load up but as soon as i see my homescreen for a second it boot loops again.
so then i tried completely formatting the phone over which worked until this morning when i woke up my phone was dead. swapped batteries and turned it on. booom boot loop again.
is there any advice on what i should do?
im able to format it and get it working again if something needs installed etc
but i want to stop this from happening again
Q: is it possible that a certain app i downloaded is forcing the boot loop? i dont see why it would because ive had all the same apps for months and it just happened out of no where.
i appreciate any help, id just like to know why in the world its happening, and what the best course of action would be
im thinking maybe restore it back to factory firmware and unrooting and starting the process all over again
i seen something for 7.1 would that be better?
I've had an M9 for 2-3. After the first year I got my phone, I installed a custom recovery and rooted it but later uninstalled root and custom recovery. It has been fine ever since except recently. Last month, my phone randomly crashed for the first time and got stuck in the infinite bootloop. It was as if everytime it tries to boot up, it crashed during it. If I hit the power, vol up, and vol down button, I make it to the screen with the option to go into recovery, download, etc. But when I actually try to go into either bootloader, recovery, or download mode from that menu, it crashes and goes back to the white htc logo. I've have gotten the phone to bootup a couple times by leaving it in the freezer as it tries to boot up but after using it for 1-5 minutes, it crashes again. If I don't use the phone at all, then it usually wont crash. After a day or 2, the phone fixed itself. Then one morning, my notifications got stuck together and my screen became unresponsive. So I took my death sentence and restarted my phone and now my phone has been doing the same exact thing for a week. I don't know how to fix this problem because getting it crashes trying to go into recovery and trying to do a factory reset is risky since it could crash during the reset. If also manage to make it into safe mode thinking maybe an application or virus is causing this but the phone crashed in SAFE MODE so I don't know what the problem is. I doubt there is any saving this phone because is probably a hard ware problem but who knows. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you.
Flash back to stock. Stock firmware fixes all sorts of issues.
Okay, so i have an LG G3 D855, few months ago it worked like a charm.. But then shortly after i started noticing random reboots everytime during using apps. Then it went in bootloop. I tried to turn it on again, entered recovery screen, choosed factory reset and it did, but then it went through the same process, random restart. Eventually stuck up in factory resetting screen. However i think i made mistake when the phone freezed in reset screen : pulling out the battery. later it lost its IMEI & kept heating up (probably tried to find its cellular framework of some sort).
Days passed, several factory resets has been done. Now the phone's at its worst state. It refused to get past the boot logo. everytime it finishes booting, the display just goes black, tried to plug usb charger, chargin indicator doesn't want to turn on, neither after i pulled out the battery. I have to leave it a few days to get it working again, but it keeps persisting.
Addition : The phone's also feels warm post the blackscreen.
Any thoughts whether can this be fixed or i have to replace something inside the phone's board?
thanks in advance.

Reflash with lgup.
Remove the SIM card and the memory card. try again. Full wipe system data ...
I've had the same problem. I've tried. Worked
found the problem. memory card
EDIT: Some kind of voodoo happened right now! I was about to unbrick again and wanted to give the phone a try to boot before. And it did! So no problem at the moment, but still a strong feeling of uncertainty...
EDIT: Phone is still randomly rebooting and gets stuck in bootloops

Hej guys, I really need your advice,
but first things first: Thank you very much for all of your wonderful work on custom roms and further support of older devices. I've been reading here for a few years now and was more or less happy to have up-to-date-roms for some of my phones.
Now I'm facing quite the same problem like OP did / does. Everything started with me, following this guide to root my D855 (coming from stock rom) and flash TWRP: you tube.com/watch?v=8VOgM3jLas4 (Note: The guide told me to flash "3__HacerPermisivo.zip" for updating the kernel, which I did.)
Next, I flashed a newer version of TWRP ("twrp-3.2.3-0-d855.img") than the one provided in "2__AutoRecMMD855.apk" by the guide above. I wiped dalvik and cache and after that, I flashed "lineage-15.1-20190410-nightly-d855-signed.zip", wiped dalvik and cache again and flashed "open_gapps-arm-8.1-pico-20190411.zip". I wiped dalvik and cache again and told TWRP to reboot.
Here is, where problems began to occur. The phone got into a bootloop, showing up the LG splash screen again and again instead of booting into LOS correctly and set it up. At some point I decided to remove the battery. When I did, at the same time LOS was just going to load, which I saw because of its beginning boot animation. So I screwed it up right at the wrong moment, I guess.
From here, the phone bootlooped every time, I wanted it to start. No battery acrobatics helped and on top I couldn't get it into recovery mode. Any attempts ended in bootloops. I think, this might be what is called a brick / to brick your device, isn't it? I found this guide to unbrick a D855 and followed its steps: open -freax.fr/guide-unbrick-your-lg-g3/
Believe me, it was a real pain in the ass! Because of me, messing up something or the phone getting stuck into a bootloop during the unbrick process, I had to do it 4 to 5 times until success... I have to say: I didn't follow the last steps beginning from "Root". Instead, I followed the guide from the beginning of my post.
Finally, I got "lineage-15.1-20190410-nightly-d855-signed.zip" and "open_gapps-arm-8.1-pico-20190411.zip" to run. I set it up and began to load some of my apps of my Play Store collection. While downloading, the phone froze, crashed and began to bootloop, from here unable to boot normally or to get into recovery mode. So I unbricked and flashed again (again several times because of bootloops before LOS first set up). When I got it to work again, I was able to install my apps without being trolled by the phone again. But scrolling through the eBay app froze the phone and it began bootlooping again...
You can believe me, I was about to throw the D855 against the hardest piece of wall, I could possibly find in my rage. The reason why I didn't give up at this point is, that I LOS-rommed two other D855s just a few days before. Those were my mom's and my girlfriend's and they work fine until today. I bought this third one for myself, because I was impressed, how good LOS worked on the D855s. On top I wanted to get rid of my Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9515), because LOS kinda sucks on it, but this is another story...
So I figuered that the earlier LOS version I used for the women's phones, could solve the problem. So I unbricked again and flashed "lineage-15.1-20190327-nightly-d855-signed.zip" and "open_gapps-arm-8.1-pico-20190329.zip". And hell yeah, that did work! No bootloops, eBay worked fine, just everything was as I loved it on the other phones, I flashed. Until tonight. I've been lucky for almost two days, but tonight this happened: I plotted a route in Google Maps and saved it as a shortcut on my homescreen. I closed Maps and tapped the route icon. Freeze - crash - bootloop - no recovery mode! I wanted to start crying, because Maps has already worked fine yesterday. And it still does on the other two phones, which run exactly the same rom...
So now, I'm sitting here, not knowing what can be done further. I'm not a programmer / developper or any of those cracks providing us the newest software for old phones. So I just can do wild guesses. Maybe the moment I removed the battery the very first time after flashing messed something up very deep inside the phones internals and it can not be cured any more. Maybe some of you guys have experienced similar things and know a tweak or a simple step, I forgot. Anyway, I hope I can use my phone on LOS some day which I bought especially for this case.
Keep up the great work, folks!

I ordered a new mainboard. It should arrive within 3 weeks. I'll keep you updated.
