I've had my G4 for a while and it's been rooted and running Xposed for well over a month without trouble. I rebooted the phone yesterday and it went into a bootloop. I let it churn for a while before finally removing the battery, fortunately it started up right after but had to go through the tedious "Android is starting. Optimizing app 1 of ...." screen before I could use the device.
I hadn't changed much of anything lately and I really don't know what could be causing this. I suspect it could possibly be related to the recent Android System Webview update that was pushed out by the Google Play app but that is only a guess.
To correct this I will likely remove Xposed... if that doesn't work I'll have to restore an unrooted image.
This occurring with anyone else??
My phone gets stuck on the red "Verizon" boot screen if I select "power off and restart" instead of just powering the phone down and using the hardware power button. When you run into your issue, are you doing "power off and restart" too?
Pulling the battery and powering on the device seems to resolve the issue (for now) when that happens, but it doesn't happen if I just do a normal shutdown & turn-on. I've been running Xposed for over a month too, and haven't loaded any new modules recently except for G4 Tweakbox (the issue was happening before I used G4 TB, so I know that app isn't the culprit)
FWIW: Verizon 10B & Xposed v74
Yeah I'm using the reboot option from the power menu. I'll try power off... then restart manually when I get home from work. Thanks for the suggestion!
EDIT:
You were correct, Thanks!
I had the issue of staying on the red verizon screen, removed sd card and it booted up. Swapped to a better card and no issues. Just my .02

My pleasure! Glad I could help since that reboot vs. power-off & manual restart was the only thing that ended up being a possible solution for my issue too. I couldn't tell you why that's happening or how we can fix it, but at least we know how to avoid the issue from happening in the first place now!!

Hi
My Galaxy Nexus has just started into a constant reboot cycle. The Google logo comes up and the the multi coloured animation thing like normal and then it goes back to beginning.
I never get to enter my pin or anything.
Has this happened anybody else?
It also gets quite hot after been in reboot phase for 20-30 mins.
Thanks
Brian
Need more details: what ROM/kernel you're using? Do you have ClockWork Recovery installed? What did you do to your phone before this happened?

Im not sure on exact details other than its as it was when I bought it apart from 4.0.2 is installed
I didnt root it or change radio etc
I was just using it as normal, was going in to check battery level I think
ClockWork isnt installed
If I hold down power button and volume button and go into recovery options reocovery mode doesnt work, restart bootloader doesnt help either
Only other options I have are Start and Power off
When I try and go back into those options again all I get is a screen with green Android and Start > Downloading > Do not turn off target
It can stay in this screen for 5 mins or more and go nowhere
This happened earlier on as well so I just turned it off
I tried the same procedure again and I got the recovery menu again but it still didnt work and then tried it again and I just got the Downloading message again
Not sure if any of that helps, I cant check the kernel version anywhere right now.
Oh and its the GSM release of the Nexus

I choose recovery mode and the phone restarts, Google logo comes up and it then goes to a picture of android robot with a red excamation mark over it
It just stays there on that screen for about 2-3 minutes and then retarts
After restarting it goes through sme sequence as before constantly going from Google Logo to multi coloured animation and then restarts again. At no stage do I get to login screen.
Only other option I get when I hold down power button and volume button is to restart bootloader, start and power off.

the hardest part was getting my laptop to pick up my phone in bootloader mode but my laptop is getting old and on its last legs, the usb ports are dodgy for everything
Just to warn you, there's a good chance it will happen again eventually. A few days ago it happened to me for the second time (completely stock).
I decided this time to root it and install a custom rom seeing as how I'd have to flash stock again anyway. I'm hoping that whatever bug that caused it has been fixed in 4.0.3.

The first time it happened was the 11th Jan, on 4.0.1, and the second time was the 29th Feb, on 4.0.2. And yeh it's GSM.
Yeh exactly, sucks having to install apps again etc. Now I'm rooted I've got a nandroid backup just in case it happens again.
[solved]
Edit.
The Vol Down button was stuck. I functioned it over and over, both together then up/down for a few minutes and it became unstuck. What a PITA!!
/Edit
The phone has been fine for months. Then while driving the GPS wasn't locking so I rebooted, and since then it only boots into safe mode for a few seconds then reboots.
I tried going back to a backup from just after I flashed, but the problem remained. So I took the SD card out, no joy. Then I tried a factory reset (SD card out), still the same.
I reinstalled Windows recently but was able to connect long enough to get the driver install complete. Booted to download mode, pressed vol up but no response from anything. I had to pull the battery.
I have on occasion seen the error pop up "samsung.com has stopped working" then it reboots.
I have the blue Kuban ROM
Any idea what my problem is and how to continue trying to fix it?
Edit
Just flashed the original Blue Kuban ROM I still had on the SD card, but it's booted into safe mode again!!

I'm new to this, but from a quick search. I would say you have a button stuck or a bad app installed. Since you just flashed the cuban, and I assume you had to do this on a computer. I would think you wouldnt have any of the recent downloaded apps. But if you do,start with the most recent app installed and clear cache,data,and delete. Then reboot, repeat until you find the app. Only user apps........ not system apps.

hey xda
my droid incredible won't start up.. it keeps looping on the boot up ... what can I do to solve this problem ?
try a factory reset.
hold down -volume and hit power button. a menu should pop up and factory reset should be one of the choices
Same problem

My incredible started doing this yesterday, Ive tried this option it doesn't work for me. I can get the menu but it when I choose factory reset or any of the other options it flashes the htc incredible screen and starts the loop again, any more suggestions would be appreciated.
Is your phone unlocked and rooted/s-off?
It will say so on that menu screen.

No I was getting ready to root it the day this started. Will rooting help this problem?
having CWM recovery on the device would help you clear the memory and load the OS easily. but that requires your device to be rooted.
whats strange about this case is that my understanding is that the OS is read only and the only thing that changes is data and user data held in a separate partition. so the 2 possibilities is that your user data is corrupted(probably due the space getting exhausted-were you getting a low space warning?) or less likely but possible-the OS corrupted in some way-perhaps from repeated reboots and phone use.
i guess if a factory reset isn't helping there is little i can suggest. that should do the trick if the OS isn;t corrupt because all it does is wipe away the user data so you can resetup the device as if you bought it brand new.
if you have an micro sd card in the device, try removing it. if that doesn;t work, try reformatting it and putting it back in.

This sounds quite a bit like an Inc I have lying on my shelf. It was a friend's and he gave it to me to see if I could fix it. As far as I can tell, the phone's emmc storage simply failed. These phones are aging and that happens sometimes. Anyway, I tried all the usual stuff, including running RUU's (flashing signed PB31IMG.zip's since the thing had never been rooted and was still s-on), and yeah, just boot looped.
I did get the phone working, but it was complicated and messy. Here's more or less what I did: I was able to successfully run the RUU that updates HBOOT to 1.02 (or 1.07, either one works), which allowed me to unlock the bootloader via HTCdev. (see one of the root / s-off guides if this doesn't make sense.) This made it possible to flash ClockworkMod recovery using fastboot, and boot into recovery. From there, I was able to get to a root shell through adb (plugged into my computer) and proceeded to downgrade and get s-off, following the guide. It now works, though it's running Froyo and there is hardly any space for apps due to the messed up storage. I've been wanting to try this hack on it but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
stuck in boot loop, keys dead
I have an HTC incredible. One day the power button decided to quit working. Everything else worked fine, except when the phone went to sleep, the only way to wake it up was to plug in the charger. That was all fine and dandy til I was using it one night to listen to TuneIn and forgot to shut it off. When I plugged in the charger the next morning, it went into boot loop. I can get it out of boot loop by holding the power and/or volume down buttons, but when the hboot (?) screen comes up, I am helpless to do anything, as the power and volume buttons are unresponsive. It is not recognized when I plug it into my laptop, either. For whatever it's worth, it does say "S-on" on the hboot screen, if that helps. Is it junk or fixable?

Sounds hosed to me. You could try to flash an RUU zip but that'd require use of the keys in HBOOT. If there is an RUU option that does not involve touching the phone, it's possible. Otherwise, no. I guess you could open the phone and check the button connections are there but it may be locking up at the HBOOT screen. Give it a chance to charge up a bit. However, I believe this phone is a lost cause. I seem to be seeing more frequent bootloop phone reports lately.
Hi all, my Tab S 10.5 (T800) was running stock MM with no root. I tried using the Adoptive storage enabler patch from this site. After installing the TWRP using Odin and flashing the adoptable storage patch, I am stuck in that stupid reboot loop. I did selected "Allow modification to system partition..." in TWRP. I managed to apply the batch and after a number of attempts boot successfully, changed to internal storage etc but still getting random reboots all the time now. Read more on the site; then did cache clear, factory reset via recovery and then also flashed back stock MM firmware - everything successful but still getting random reboots.
Just to mention, the tablet has recently had a brand new original battery so that is not the problem. It was working fine before I attempted the TWRP/Adoptive storage patch or stock firmware flash and now getting random reboots (sometimes right at startup logos and sometimes soon after booting up).
This appears to be a very common one on these Samsung tablets so no clear reason anywhere why it happens. Any suggestion for a quick fix for this please. I am getting random reboots at the moment all the time since I tried flashing the recovery/patch/stock firmware. Any help would be appreciated please...
update
Just to provide quick update and info:
Purely by hit and trial, I have found that if I keep hold of the power button (pressing it constantly since power up), it goes past the initial boot loop consistently and boots the device up. But then, once it hits the limit for holding the power button (think 30 secs), it vibrates and turns itself off (which I think is normal behaviour). So I thought this is interesting to share as not something I have read anywhere else. Not sure what difference it makes to the startup by holding down on the power button but that does not appear make it loop. Of course, this is not a solution as the tablet eventually shuts down after 30 secs of holding the power button.
The power button itself seems fine and not broken/damage or anything - clicks fine and solid and works fine every time. Also the random restarts does not happen in recovery/download mode so I take it the power button is not faulty as else, it should be happening for everything.
Again, requesting everyone for some help please as I am a bit stuck what to try next.... thanks in advance!
anyone pls...?
Bump again... in the hope one of the experts will jump in to help!!
Thanks in advance
I'm experiencing the same exact issue, The tablet will power up to the setup screen and I can almost finish the setup process but then it vibrates and powers down. PLEASE... someone, chime in and help with this problem.
Thanks In Advance
About a month ago I shut my G8 down overnight while I charged it. The next morning when I pushed the power button to to turn it back on it would not turn on. I kept pushing the power button trying to get it to power up. After about 10 minutes of no luck my wife found info on line to hold the volume down and power button to force it to boot up. I did that and it started back up, but like an idiot I did a power down and restart to see if the phone fixed it's self, which it did not so I had to do the volume down & power button to get it to boot back up. A few week later when I forgot about the start up issue I powered down the phone and when I went to boot it back up it would not work with out doing the volume down & power button. So I started looking online for other people with the same issues and one forum I read suggested to get in to the recovery menu and wipe the cache. When I did that I got a screen saying error with an image of an android laying down, then the phone booted up. the only operation issue I have notice with the phone is it seem like the battery is draining a little faster since this issue started. I had the same startup and cache wipe issue when I tried it today. I am running stock software (G820UM10h) with October 2019 security software, Phone is not rooted. Does any one have any idea of what it is doing?

Go to settings, search backup, use the LG backup. Then connect to computer with file transfer (which should be automatic) then navigate to the LG BACKUP folder and move the file in it to your desktop. After resetting, move it back in to the LG BACKUP folder and restore from settings. I know it sounds complicated, but it really isn't; you only have to click like 4 buttons
