My wife's phone has randomly rebooting very frequently and would like to know if anyone else has had the same problem. I have the log if it will help I tried looking at it but could not find anything that stuck out to be honest I don't know what I'm looking for. If anyone can help please let me know. Also we took it to the sprint store and low and behold not one time did reboot. She brings it home and it has rebooted several times while on Wi-Fi and on 4G no difference. It is not rooted in any way.
Does it have an SD card formatted as internal/adaptive?
Mine somehow stopped working 4 days ago and the phone started rebooting randomly. Found out it was the adoptive storage. Had to factory reset and format the card as external.

Did you try a factory reset? Maybe a problematic app? Try also cleaning the cache in the Recovery (before committing to a Factory Reset)

Sadly I don't know how to work these. I unzipped it but it's a unix executable (according to my mac). This ones the real pros might be able to help.
Yes did a factory reset and it started about abb hour she reset it. So we are going to the Sprint store again and have them swap it out for another one today I was talking to get on the phone this morning and it rebooted while we were talking

That sounds like a power problem. If it's a new phone, yes, return it for a new phone.

Thanks for the help with problem solving the phone. Took the phone to Sprint and they said it was a hardware issue and replaced it with a new phone and all is right as rain. So thanks everyone for the support.

thats not working perfect, thats called one f'd up phone.
sounds like a bad memory card and you can wipe and format all day long, the card is still bad.
are you using a different card than the one that came with the phone?
if so put the original back
if not, go get a different card.
if the original is bad take it to the sprnt store and see if they can replace it.

This happened to me after I switched Roms, but I just did a factory reset and re flashed the ROM and it seemed to do the trick.
Gremlins I guess, always best to do a data wipe and factory reset.
You can use a regular SD card reader. JS

Yeah, but it is very important to have the ability to have your phone connect to your PC, this makes things much easier and quicker as well.
Also you can't access the internal memory of your phone, this solution just solves half of the battle.
Ok, so i've spent endless hours and by endless i mean 8 hrs searching for a cure on my issue. I've hit road blocks in every corner because everyone resorts to either odin or kies, which i cannot use either.
I have a refurbished att i747 that for some reason came with cwm when i bought it from att. I've had it for a couple months now and I just plugged it into my computer to charge it (because my computer or any other has never read my phone) and as soon as I plugged it in, it shut itself off.
I went to turn the phone back on and it stalls at the "Galaxy SIII" logo.
I can put it into recovery mode and download mode.
I did a full reset from cwm and also tried putting stock rom on my external storage to flash, but my phone is not reading my external either and I cannot access my internal from my computer to place the rom there.
Im hoping I'm just frustrated and am doing something wrong in this department because i'm thinking it's my only resort.
download mode is useless because my phone does not register on any computer so unfortunately, my best friend odin is out of my reach.
What can I do. I've exhausted almost every option i can think of.
help me!!!
I apologize if this is posted in the wrong forum.

phones dont ship from at&t with anything other than their carrier's stock firmware and stock recovery. if it did, that should have returned immediately.
what stock ROM did you place on your sd card? is that sd card working on any other devices?
---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------
are you sure it isnt just the stock recovery you're booting into? that would be the reason why you cant access the sd card to flash anything.

Ya the sd card was from my old phone never had an issue with it before.
I've done custom work to android before and when I purchased this phone (not new) refurbished from att themselves, I assumed it would be ok to go.
I shouldve returned it when my computer wasnt reading my phone and thats my bad.
I never knew it had cwm on it till it softbricked because i've never had an issue, just the normal power off. never had to do recovery so when I went to recovery and was expecting stock recovery, I was surprised to see cwm on there.
"StockRootedGS3V6.zip" I know it's rooted, but i figured i'd try anyway
"I747UCALEM_174ATTALEM_ATT.zip"
those are the only roms I could find for cwm or was I wrong?
thats bizarre. what version is it?
did you try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers on your pc?

have you tried going into mounts and storage and mounting the external sd card?
is this sd card reading on your computer and/or other androids? if you had an S3 previously, did it work on that?

I have tried, this sd read on my other androids. this is my first s3.
When i select mount external it gives me the option to unmount it, but doesnt say that it's mounted in the under bar (or whatever the area that shows it's called) so im assuming it's mounted. The problem is that I put the roms in the download file on my computer and when i put the sd card in my phone and mount it, it doesn't show up there. Am i using the right roms? I did not unzip them to the sd, just transfered.

if so, dont flash anything yet. let me know. the 2 stock ROMs you have are old (4.0.4). you would be reverting your firmware

As of right now, my phones not even turning on.. idky the battery is drained. I need to let it charge up a bit before anything. :-/
The last time i did that it brought up all the files and the roms were not on there. maybe because they were ics instead of jb?

in the meantime (as your phone is charging), download these 2 files and place them on your micro sd card:
- cwm 6.0.3.0
- at&t 4.1.1 rooted firmware
when the battery is ready, install the micro sd card and boot into cwm. see if those 2 files are listed. keep me posted

its not rooted. thats why i'm confused on cwm being on it. I didn't put it on nor have i done anything custom to the phone. i think att screwed up the refurb or something.

And then i plugged it out and went to my music and everything was gone like for real it cleared both my internal sd and external sd card.... i lost all my pictures and work stuff.

I think user error sorry.
not even i just connected it and disconnected it cuz had to charge it, i checked phone storage also gallery and so on everything is gone rebooted many times etc still same
Im rooted with xposed as well and have not had this issue. That does suck man but i think it is an isolated incident.

Do you use a security app like Cerberus or the one from Google? These apps can reset your phone and erase everything when you enter the wrong code.
i had no security app and now even worse my tel wont boot up it wll go straight into twrp recovery.. so i gotta flash a new rom -.-' does anyone know which are twrp flashable zips? for a clean install?
Tried booting up and i get into the launcher but its all empy no menu nothing after pin unlock its so so weird
This might have manifested itself when you plugged your phone into your pc, still that's not what's the issue here. You did something wrong somewhere and if i were you, I'd"go back to stock" by following the thread with the same name.

i managed to flash LG-H81510C-Flashable.System.Boot.zip right now it boots up and everything no root tho will see if i can do a software update cuz it shows it has an update available atm.
So a friend of mine updated his G3 to lollipop and he's facing two main issues:
Settings isn't opening at all. It FC's right when you open it
Messages app also force closes many times
the most annoying problem: Alarm if set, phone only vibrates no matter even if sound is set to full.
And force closes of apps frequently.
Can you borrow his phone and reflash everything with a fresh download from one of the XDA threads? Perhaps it was a bad flash?

He didn't flash, he updated OTA and I think I can, he's pretty busy person though.
Was looking for a more easy solution.
Yeah well it still has some degree of flashing I think. Just try a factory reset to stay on the safe side. Then alternately try reflashing. A factory reset shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes.
