Does anyone know what the problem is?
I have a Lenovo Vibe P1a42 for more than a year now; about 2 weeks ago it started taking very long boot times 10 to 30 minutes.
It has the latest stock update, I've never rooted it or installed any other ROMs.
When the device pass the boot and start, it works fine as it was before.
I did a factory reset yesterday, on the reset process it took the normal time for a first boot, but again it took about 10 minutes to boot after I installed the apps which took only about 2GB of the internal phone storage, I removed the SD to make sure it's not a memory problem.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
I too have the same problem since 2 weeks. Any solution for this?

If your problem is like mine then you have "TrueCaller" installed, if you do then remove it.
Well I did a factory reset twice until I figured it out, so I advice you to format your microSD card and remove it first, then do a factory reset then reboot the "Vibe P1" frequently while making settings changes to confirm that it reboots quickly (do that without the microSD), then install your apps - few of them every time then reboot, after installing all your important apps. Now, start some of them and adjust your apps settings as you want them then reboot until you finish all the important apps, if the reboot process is quick then your done, but leave the apps that you suspect to the end; in this case "TrueCaller" then reboot after setting them as you prefer, if the problem occur again then uninstall "TrueCaller" or just don't install it if it's not important to you, if you really want it then you either have to install a different app or go through the "TrueCaller" settings "THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CONTROL THE CHARGING OR POWER", and change them until your reboot is quick again.
If you don't have "TrueCaller", then do the above process and while setting your apps check if any of them has an option that's related to power or charging.

I have an interesting problem, kind of. Bought my phone second hand as supposedly unlocked & debranded but on boot up it after the HTC logo I get the Virgin Media logo, not really an issue though. Anyway the problem is when I switch the phone off and then switch on again it boots up fine to the home screen and then it will reboot itself and carries on doing this. i.e. boot up to home screen then reboot again continuously.
To get out of this reboot loop I have to remove the sim & boot the phone with no sim in it then switch off and insert my normal Vodafone phone sim and switch on again. after that the phone is fine until I power down and then the same thing happens.
Anybody else experienced this or got any ideas?? It came with 1.15.405.4 firmware already installed and I have tried reflashing with the same firmware using the goldcard method & it worked but the problem remains. When the sim registers on the network is when the reboot loop seems to start.
did you try reflashing it ?
hold down the side button (down) and press on at the same time.
then select erase data and press on again
if you bought it second hand, its hard to say what the previous user has done with it ...
Yep tried reflashing it, just about to reflash again with an older rom. It's just wierd that a sim card authenticating to the network would cause a reboot loop.

Maybe it's a dumb question - But I'm having some issues that doesn't seem to get solved by a factory reset - Would it be an idea to reflash it for this, so the phone gets a fresh rom?
How would I do it specifically? Do you know of a guide somewhere?

have you tried a different sim card ?
Ye tried a different sim card, boots fine and all is good till you reboot the phone and then the same happens again. Anyways flashing was a disaster this time round as I was doing it on my work pc and Symantec kicked in thinking it found a virus with adb.exe and halted the process & quarrantined the file. Now everytime I try and reflash on a different PC I get the dreaded error(110):file open error. Disconnect the phone & all I get is a black screen & HTC logo. Nice. Thanks Symantec you've just bricked my Desire!!
*UPDATE* - Fixed.
Removed the battery, left it for a few hours then reflashed on a different pc and it flashed fine. Then thought I'd try & repeat so reflashed with the older rom from here (originally used the newer rom posted on Modaco) and got the error again and again couldn't flash back to the newer. Removed the battery left for an hour and then could reflash again and get it working!! Wierd
I had the same problem.
My Solution: remove battery, remove the SIM, put battery reboot, turnoff, remove battery, put SIM, put battery, boot
first i want to excuse my bad english,hope you will undestand what i´m trying to say.
i have the same problem since a few days.
first time i notice it,was when the desire was charching and i used it a bit,it restarts again and again.so i put out the battery and wait a few minutes,than it works.
it´s also,when i use it a long time with wifi or 3G....the the phone turns off and i have the boot loop.
but when i take out my sim,it works fine.
my question is,do i need a new sim or is it a hardware problem?
does anybody know?
greetz from germany!
sorry, wrong thread

i have the exact same problem!! any solution? after that the phone will boot loop over and over! damn!
I had the same problem last week.
I suspected it had to do with the EXT3 partition.
Solved it by first flashing the OTA 2.2 ROM (for rooted users) as this does not use the EXT3. Then used Rom manager to recreate the EXT3.
Now all ROMs that use the EXT3 run fine!
hmmp
as long as i know, i did not install anything on my phone lately so thats the problem so far and i think tequila98 also having the same problem as me, cause when i remove my sim card the phone works fine. but ive reset my phone yesterday and not restarting so far hope this will continue.
I really wished there was a dead fix to this problem we are all having!
My problem:
My phone was running fine until a few weeks ago. There was no rebooting problems when I first got my phone (April) and when I flashed my phone for the first time (May). Happened a few weeks ago when I was browsing on YouTube where my phone suddenly restarted on it's own.
Before it was once a couple of days, now it has gotten more frequent and annoying.
I don't think the heat is the problem because I don't go on the internet much because of my data plan. I use wifi when I browse the web, youtube, etc. And I certainly don't use Google maps or any heavy duty applications. That's just what I think...
My phone rebooted 3 times today in a time span of 4 hours? I noticed that my phone rebooted itself when I use the camera to take a picture or video. Doesn't happen everytime, but that's what happened today. Also, when my phone rebooted today, my application Advanced Task Killer was automatically removed from my phone! That was weird... But I experienced another reboot even after having the app removed.
I really hope someone can find the core of this problem and fix it!
My phone is running on DeFroST 2.0b Android 2.2
My battery stats: 42% for display, 26% for cell standby, 21% for phone idle, 4% for android system, 3% for voice calls, 2% for android OS

It's probably hardware problem with motherboard. Therefore I recommend you to take your phone to repair center and they should replace mobo with new one. That's what I did and now everything is ok.
I am having the exact same problem. Seems to be related to the SIM.
But the SIM works fine in another phone.
Did anyone find any more information?
If you get random reboots its most likely ther motherboard there is a massive thread about it on the forums. You need to send it off to a HTC repair centre.
Just got this problem.
I rooted yesterday. Today I made a nandroid backup. After that the phone is in a reboot loop.
How is this possible from just and backup???
Tnx.

Edit:
Restored backup and is working fine again.
nandroid backup loop

I will try it. Maybe the backup is not only a backup but also a remove? Strange.
I will comment if this works also for me.
EDIT: Restore helps
Hi everyone. I have a sporadic problem with my vanilla note 3 from t mobile. Its a totally random occurrence but sometimes it will freeze(loose all input functionality) sometimes it will just stay black screen(no input taking) and usually (not always) it will reboot itself after this happens(sometimes a battery pull is required). Is this a memory leak issue? Thanks for any help. Sometimes it will run fine for a week or 2 and then all the sudden it will start acting up.
Was it rooted? I had a similar issue before mine was rooted, some of the system load programs that I didn't use would start up and then grab all resources. ..
Mine was doing the same thing while rooted with towelroot. Even after I unrooted it was doing the same thing. I didn't try a factory reset, but T-Mobile is sending me a replacement phone.

If it was my phone I would do cache wipe first, if still no go then full factory reset and I would then reinstall most important programs first.
Restarting phone every few days is not a bad idea on it's own and BTW when was the last time you cleaned garbage from it?
Hi All,
Having some issues with my Galaxy Note 10.1 which I've had for quite a while now. It's rooted but with Android 5.0 stock rom and a custom kernel.
Just now (like 20mins ago) I tried to enable Adblock plus app, the app said it can't automatically change the settings - even though SuperSU was installed and had no issues with it previously. So like all things thought I'd give it a reboot that ought to clear it out. That didn't work, so tried clearing cache (Dalvik/ART/Cache), Still no joy.
I'm a s/w engineer, but not and android/bootloader expert, so I've tried to grab the dmesg and boot logs which I've attached, I've got some stuff on the internal SD (app data) which I'd like to keep, hence I'm not going for the full wipe.
Please take a look at the logs and see if you can determine how to fix this issue, my initial thoughts were there are some issues with the flash storage (bad sectors/partition table?), if I could grab the image and dd the image again I'd be OK - but I don't know much about about android boot loader/kernel etc so can't say.
Ok it has been fixed by wiping data - but I've lost my data and installed apps!
Is there anyway to find out which file/app is causing the boot loop so I can restore data, delete the offending file?
Well, I shall give a bump to this topic, with a little more info. Though probably not really useful.
First I had stock 5.1.1 deodex pre root etc ROM that, after I tried to insert a nano sim card (mine is a 601 3G model) that got stuck, it entered on a bootloop, I had to open it, take the sim card out, and it was still on a boot loop. Tried to install another image, still bootloop, tried to reinstall the original one I had, still bootloop, wiped data, worked fine.
Then almost 2 weeks later, everything worked fine, went to watch a video, the sound was mute, tried to turn it on but everything looked fine, decided to restart because it would probably fix the problem. Got a bootloop. Wiped the data, everything was fine again.
Now, a little more than 2 weeks later, seems like the wifi is not working, thought all my other devices are, guess it's the same problem, decided to restart it, and bootloop again. I'm currently trying to update my TWRP, and gonna try a different ROM, and wait to see if something like that happens, until then, I wonder what could be happening... I remembered an Asus Device that I had that had different firmware versions for 4.4 and 4.1, so if I tried to flash a 4.4 on a 4.1 firmware it wouldn't work, and for downgrade, the same problem happened, and wondered if Samsung has some difference between versions 4 and 5.
ssj4maiko Let me know if you find a more stable rom - I went back to pretty much stock, but with root as I wanted to use all the Samsung apps, but this constant random bootloops are annoying!
Hello! I am going to describe my issue with 2 years old nexus 5x which is restarting randomly.
It all started a couple of days ago when my phone started to ask me to enter PIN code. That happened randomly. After entering the code my phone worked completely ok.
But yesterday it started restarting on its own. The restart happened once, than I suddenly got a message before loading screen saying: "Your device is corrupt. It can not be trusted and may not work properly".
Today my Nexus restarted around 10 times. These restarts do not depand on phone usage, since it is restarting randomly (when charging, when not charging, when using it, when screen is off).
I decided to clear cache partition factory reset it and update apps. Unfortunately that did not help, since my phone is restarting even more frequently. Normally it freezes for 5 seconds and than restarts. Sometimes I still get the message: "Your device is corrupt...", but not always.
My Nexus has not been modified (it is not rooted and it is running android 8.1 with november security patch). Also apps have been installed only from play store and not from unknown sources.
I would really need your help. Has anybody experienced any similar issues or does anybody know what could cause the restarting?
Thank you in advance.
@tic_tac7: probably it's a conveniant variant of BLOD. So save everything important on another storage immediately.
This message comes from bootloader. Because the reboots happen also during standby, it's imo useless to flash a kernel which lets the big core sleep, but that's a misty guess. Nevertheless you could try the latest ABC-Oreo (needs TWRP by ADB) without anything more for testing. If reboots are going on > bin.

Thank you for your response. Is installing a custom rom the only possible soultion?
No. It's no solution. It's a vague trial.

If you are original owner of phone for up to 30 months, go here and let LG fix (or attempt to) the phone. Mine required two repairs. If you are not in the US, check with LG support in your country.
Hello everyone.
I'm currently with an annoying issue:
My Samsung Galaxy S9 (non-rooted) is randomly rebooting only while idle.
Whenever I'm charging, playing or perform any interactive activity, the phone works as it has been working for the past 2 years.
As soon as I left it idle for a while, it simply reboots. Usually do not take more than an hour for the reboot to happen.
Already performed a facory reset, cleared cache, force shutdown (power + volume down), worked on safe mode and nothing seems to lead me to the root cause.
It started on tuesday (December 29th @2020).
Thanks in advance,
Caio
I have had a similar problem for a long time. Sometimes my Galaxy has given to restart without stopping as far as it wants ... Once it happened to me that for a day it did not stop restarting after installing the Google assistant, only by entering safe mode and deleting it I could solve it .. . And one of the last was that I changed the CSC and the mobile just did not stop restarting, even after downloading and reloading it, I deleted and formatted absolutely everything and I could not use the mobile normally ... After several tests I realized that it restarted after unlocking, so I deactivated the passwords and fingerprint but it did not work, so it occurred to me to install another launcher and problem solved. I have no idea why this is happening to me, maybe is an error in the internal memory due to a bug in the firmware (?)... Anyway, I had read some time ago that there were similar problems caused by a GPU failure in the Snapdragon models, but I no idea.

I already use Nova Launcher, so I dont think this will fix my problem. Now its taking more time between rebooting cycles buts its still there.
I guess my last attempt will be to flash a stock ROM and see if it works.

reflash firmware via Odin. gert FW(firmware) from sammobile.com/firmware and use SamFirm to download, as it downloads 4x faster than from thr site directly. When flashing, use the HOME_CSC vs just the CSC file, as the csc factory resets whereas home_csc keeps your files and settings etc etc. If that doesnt fix it, you have a hardware issue(IMO, at least, and ive been rooting samsungs for a decade). If you have a hardware issue, id get it as good as i could and use the trade-in specials sammy has going
