Running custom ROM's isn't something new to me, however I'm stumped on this one.
I was running the latest AOKP without a hitch. Been two days in fact. Unplugged this morning, was typing a text message and BAM, phone rebooted (vibrated) and constantly reboots.
I took the battery out, tried again.... same outcome. I can get it into recovery, but 3-4 seconds into it, it starts it's rebooting process again.
The only thing I know to do is ODIN back to stop, and format internal storage.
Anyone ran into this problem or seen this recently?
Thanks,
It sounds like you have a stuck power button . Tty cleaning out the power button's hole and if that doesn't help or fix it, send your phone in for repair.

That is the same thing I said, originally. I've taken a part a lot of phones in my day, but do not want to void the errr.... 'warranty'. So, I just contacted Tmobile and they are sending another one. I did put it back to stock, using ODIN. Do not ask me how I got it to actually stay on long enough to use download mode, but I did.
The bad part is Tmobile currently has this phone backlogged for 2-4 weeks. So, Asurion cannot even get me a phone until then. I'm going to call tomorrow and raise holy hell with Tmobile and see what they do.
How would you go about cleaning this out? The button still has the pressed in feeling, i can even hear the spring back click.

Try using a toothpick.
To be honest I had the same issue and did everything in could to clean mine out I even pried it away from the connecter it kept resting on to cause the reboots and I never got any success out of it but every phones different I just sent mine back to Samsung and they ended up having to replace the whole motherboard

Hello everyone,
My brother has an SPH-D710 (Epic touch 4G), and I had him running stock GB27. He came to me today saying his phone keeps rebooting. Unfortunately, it appears to be a hardware problem - but I wanted to check here first.
I have tried wiping data via factory reset from STOCK recovery. No dice.
I have wiped and flashed CM10.1 RC3 (unofficial) and set it up but the reboots still occur.
The phone screen will turn off during use, blue light will light up then off, then the phone will proceed to reboot. His old battery had to be replaced yesterday (got really fat, and Sprint store said battery went bad.) We just got a new one from Amazon and it appears to be a genuine Samsung battery 1800 MAh. Anyone know any steps to take? Perhaps I should try my father's battery? (He's got the same one from Amazon but he is not experiencing any Reboots.)

Hello everyone,
I would try a different battery.. and give the one you have now the good old spin test.. it could have been bad when you bought it..
Also.. if the phone is in a case... make sure it's not pressing the power button down.. or that the power button is not sticking in itself... besides that.. I'm at a loss. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.. Good luck

Hello there! My father had the exact same issue with his cellphone. Epic 4G touch SPH-D710 from sprint. Phone will constantly reboot out of nowhere. At the beginning, I thought he was simply holding the power button accidentally for a long time. One day I was trying to figure out what could be wrong with it, suddenly it rebooted right in front of me. Out of nowhere. Took it to sprint store and they told me it's an issue with the phone. Got a new one from them... No hassle. and works perfectly. Hope it helps.

Interestingly enough - he hasn't had the issue now for like a week now. It's very strange and if the problem comes back then I'll take it into a Sprint store to have them look at it.
Weird how inconsistent it is now.

Thats great to hear! Hopefully you dont run into this issue again. But like I said, If you do run into issues with it again, do not hesitate to take it to a Sprint store. Absolutely no hassle to get a replacement one.
Hello, my Verizon One won't seem to charge. The other day I woke up, used my phone till it was at about 85%, then topped it off back to 100% before I left as I was going to be on the road most of the day. When I took it off the charger I noticed it was a bit warm, not excessively so but noticeable. A couple of minutes later (it had been off the charger) I noticed it was getting hotter. I restarted it hoping for the problem to sort itself out. Maybe 30 minutes later the battery had dipped to 25% and the phone was very warm. I started to get worried and turned it off. Hoping that would at least postpone the problem I put it aside and didn't mess with it. About another half hour later I picked up the phone to see if it had cooled off, only to find that it was even hotter! I got very worried and actually had to hold an ice cube to the back of the phone because I'd heard of bad things happening to overheating phones. That seemed to solve the problem and the battery seemed to have finally run out because it didn't heat up anymore. I got home and tried to charge it to no avail. The thing seems to be completely dead. I was running CM 11 but I hadn't messed with any processor settings. I thought it would be a software issue because of the beta version of CM but idk after it continued to overheat after it was shut down. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Also, if I should just send it to HTC support let me know. I've been reluctant to contact them since the phone is rooted and all...
I have heard to place the phone under a light with the charging cord hooked up. I know it sounds weird but people says it works. I have heard nothing but horror stories about cm11 and refuse to run that Rom. From issues that you describe to it breaking the lte radio and having to flash an ruu to get it working again. There are so many other Roms that are real good.

Before all this CM11 worked great. No lag and everything seemed to work fine minus a couple occasional glitches. Could it be the ROM as it continued to heat when turned off?
I've had the phone on the charger for about a day now, no sign of life. What will happen if I send it to HTC support?
Where did you get the phone? Most likely if from Verizon you can contact their customer support line, tell them it isn't charging and they'll send you a refurb. I just don't mention to them that the phone is rooted and they have always exchanged mine without issue.

I got mine from Viva Movil as they had it on sale. Would it work the same way since it is a branch of Verizon?

There's no harm in calling Verizon tech support, telling them your problem and asking for a replacement device. The worst they can say is no. But then you'd have other options. I don't see them telling you no. I had an issue with a phone a got off Craigslist and they replaced it. I didn't tell them I wasn't the original owner but it was only a few months old and shouldn't matter anyway. They didn't even ask tho.

The exact same thing happened to me about a month ago and I have been terrified to send it in to HTC or use my Squaretrade replacement program for fear they would figure out it was rooted and send me back my broken device with a voided warranty.
Finally I took it into verizon yesterday and they are now sending me a new one in the mail.
I have to send them my broken one after I receive the new one and I'm afraid they might detect its rooted and charge me the $600 for the new device they sent me.
Anyone gone through something similar?

I bought my HTS One from Viva Mobil too, and it clearly was shipped by Verizon.
Three weeks ago, it stopped booting or charging. I walked into a local VZW store and they couldn't wake it either, so they couldn't see I had rooted the phone. They ordered a warranty replacement for me.
I doubt that they're going to bother to see what ROM is on the returned unit..

Just got back from the VZW store, they took it but said "if any software manipulation was detected" I would be charged $300 for the refurb phone. Better than $600 but I'm kinda worried.
I believe this is associated with running a non sense based rom on the phone. There was another guy who had his phone overheat and speakers blown when he was running AOSP, and I know the overheating thing happened to multiple people. I feel like for some reason it's too risky to run AOSP because of these horror stories so if I want an AOSP feel I'll just run a GPE rom with xposed to tweak it how I like. Never had bad luck since, and I predict I won't have any in the future since these roms are made for our hardware by HTC themselves.

Okay, I originally got this phone as an upgrade over my HTC Inspire in July. It worked great, minus a few random reboots every once in a while (if I left it in my pocket for a long time or if it was really hot in my car it would do this, but that was it). Then, about a month or two ago, I rooted it and installed a custom ROM. I noticed that a bunch of my files were missing from my internal SD card, but I wasn't too worried about it. Then my phone started acting really weird and got stuck in a bootloop. I was able to boot into recovery, but I ended up using the LG Flash Tool and went back to bone stock. Still had the issue, except I noticed that my signal would drop, and then it'd get stuck in the bootloop. So, I contacted AT&T warranty and they sent me a replacement. Now the same thing is happening to this one. It gets warm, loses cell signal, then reboots, sometimes a bootloop. This phone hasn't been rooted at all, it's been left stock. So I contacted AT&T and the guy in warranty said he thinks it's the battery, but he didn't have any in stock so he couldn't send a replacement. So I was thinking it was the battery and called LG after it seemed to get worse. They told me that they could replace the battery free of charge if I send in the one I'm using first. Since this is my only way of communication, I contacted AT&T again, and they're sending me another replacement. (Said if this one screw up too, they'll give me a different phone all together). The guy had me download some AT&T remote support app and he looked at the battery health and said it's reading fine, and that because it's reading fine, he didn't think it was the battery. :|
Here's the weird thing, about two weeks ago, it went into a bootloop. I took out the battery for a minute an tried to put it back in. Nothing. I plugged the charger into it and it basically told me that it didn't have enough juice to power on. (battery was at ~40%). So I took the battery back out and tried again. This time it came on.
Then last friday, I was jammin out to music while I was working, it would reboot when I unlocked the phone. (battery was in upper 90%'s). I plugged the charger in while it did this and everything came up as it should. But after taking it off the charger and trying to do more work, it happened again and again.
Like I said, this phone is straight from AT&T and has not had anything flashed onto it by me, hell I never even disabled all the AT&T bloat this time. I've tried a hard reset, and it didn't help. Does anybody know what would be the cause of my problems? I really like this phone and really hope I can get this figured out.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, the phone still has its IMEI number and it has the value pack update.
Got the second replacement in the mail today. It hasn't screwed up yet, but only time will tell.

Wow hope this works for you. I just got 3 Optimus G Pro's on 12/30/13 and all 3 of them to date have not had any issues. 2 black and 1 white. 2 which are running stock. 1 stock which has had a bunch of the bloatware yanked (that we could get off of it). 1 stock which has had nothing pulled, everything left the way it is. And the 3rd one (which is the one I use) which I rooted to CyanFox 4.4.2 and later to CM11 4.4.2 Nightly and haven't had any issues like the ones you've explained.
Good luck though hopefully your issue is gone. Seems like a nice reliable phone (minus LG not wanting to support it furthermore ).

I really hope my issues with this phone are done too, I really love this phone. If I don't have any issues, it's going to get rooted and updated to KitKat. Otherwise, I'll try to get AT&T to give me a MotoX or a HTC One.

Yeah I like this phone with KitKat. Looks like a larger Nexus 5
Only problems i'm having with CM11:
1. ATT Visual Voicemail will install but upon playing voicemails program will freeze and crash
2. Tried Google Voice however you can only hear the voicemails through speakerphone, headsets, or bluetooth. Voicemails will no play through earpiece.
3. CM11 doesn't have Screen Recorder yet (Which CyanFox did although CM11 is still fairly fresh).
4. I would like to have the LG Camera app back! Dual video recording and some of those other features are gone with the android stock Camera app. Need to look into porting that back over to KitKat (if I can).
That's bout it though...

Haha yeah, this phone is beautiful with stock Android, I just end up missing certain touches that LG puts in their overlay.
BTW, this phone is doing the same thing as before. I strongly believe it's the battery b/c when it went into a bootloop, I took out the battery it was warm, so I put it in front of the AC for a minute to cool it down and it's been working fine since. So, I'm going to call AT&T and see if they will send me a battery, and if they can't, I'm going to have to send this one in to LG and be without a phone for a week...:'(
UPDATE: AT&T told me "since we have tried everything else-hard resets, replacement phones- and nothing worked, we will send you a battery since it's the only thing that has stayed persistent through this ordeal. We just got some in stock and are sending one your way. If the problem continues to persist, we will replace the phone again." IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!
Just curious, but what if I continue having this issue after I get my new battery? Should I try a similar mah zero lemon battery or just have att give me a different phone altogether?

i think there is an issue with the battery and whatever cable you use to charge the phone.I had to Lge980 when I used a thin cable I have in my room sometimes it did not charged at all and or shut down itself even when the battery had half charge ,sometimes it showed full charged but if I plugged the phone to a thicker cable connected using the oem charger or a usb 3.0 port at my laptop it showed the real charge level at 1/4 charge.I myself could't do anything since I got the phone second hand but as long as I used thick cable connected to a oem charger usb 3.0 or eben 2.0 I had no had any issues.
how'd it go?

If you want to stay on stock i recommend going to jellybean TOT 10k and rooting and installing a custom recovery back up the rom, and flash hkfriends kernel, and see what happens if you raise or lower your phones voltage, that might be the problem with it rebooting.
THE NEW BATTERY SOLVED THE ISSUE, BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME. I upgraded to an HTC One M8 since, and haven't had hardly any problems with it, aside from the death star's BS

Thanks for the response. I talked to the techs at an AT&T direct service center and they told me it's a common problem with the Optimus Pro. I'm on my third one in 8 months now and this one started randomly powering off within 15 minutes of when I took it out of the box three days ago.

Yeah. My issue was the battery for sure. Make them replace the battery and it should temp solve the issue
From what I read on the first e980 i had these phone tend to have a hardware problem where the power button is creating the same issues as OP. Some refurbished e980s have the hardware problem solved.
Hey guys im hoping to see if anyone can find a solution to this annoying problem i am having with my phone rebooting on me in the middle of using it. The phone would reboot once in a while and i never thought much of it, but recently(this past week) its been happening way too much. Im using my phone and then it reboots, but it goes into somewhat boot loop. it restarts anywhere from 1 time if i am lucky to around 10 times! once i get it to stop rebooting i use it a bit and it reboots on me again! This was happening in the stock LG OS and i got annoyed and flashed a lollipop rom and its still happening but it only reboots once. However if i start using it it reboots. The phone is becomeing essentially unusable!!! I then started to notice that if i am connected to the charger my phone does not reboot at all! no problem what so ever!
Any ideas of what i should do?
Is this happening to anyone else too?
I was thinking about unrooting it through TWRP and then upgrading it to the latest stock OS but i dont want to unroot it if i dont NEED to.. Any input is greatly appreciated

i know my opinion might sound stupid but did you try a new battery?since you mention that the phone do not reboot if is connected to the charger maybe you found the problem yourself

I haven't, i was thinking about that too but i am not sure if a battery can cause a boot loop? There is another guy thst posted a question similar to this in the LG G3 thread and he also says the phone does not reboot if its charging
I'd also rather not cough up $20 on a battery if i dont need it #brokecollegestudent haha
[EDIT]- Also my battery seems to be lasting me about the same i am about to go back to stock and not download any apps and see what happens
Similar issue
i had a similar issue after installing the new stock lollipop rom via twrp
it was rebooting on me every 10 minutes or so, and obviously that rebooting was killing the battery.
I had to just pull the battery and fix it.
Their may be a less drastic way to fix it. but I fixed mine by going back to stock completely.
I flashed stock via the ToT method and then upgraded to lollipop via the kbz method.
Fixed my phone, it's now working perfectly and I'm very good battery life again
Given that you mentioned twrp and lollipop I'm willing to bet we had a very similar issue
unrooting is a hassle, but at least it's free unlike buying a new battery
same issue - fixed with new battery
I had rve same issue where it rebooted randomly then after a few days just went into a boot loop. However it worked fine while plugged in. The guy in the shop said it was software related but i went ahead and ordered a new battery from amazon and now the phone is working perfectly.

did you order the anker battery? i saw that many people wrote reviews that when they tried using those batteries they got an error saying that the phone didn't support that battery or somewhere along those lines

no, i ordered the original LG BL-53YH from Amazon. You can get them at more than half the original price. Also as an alternative you can email LG directly and explain the problem. I did that and they are going to send me a free replacement battery.

It's a probably software issue. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/fix-stuck-custom-recovery-trying-ota-t2907508 or revert to stock. I'd say the best bet is reverting to stock via TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/general/firmware-t-mobile-lg-g3-t2818667
