Phone Stuck In Time Warp

So I have no idea what is happening with my phone, but it seems to be stuck in a single moment in time. Any changes that are made, texts received, apps (un)installed are reverted on the next reboot.
This wouldn't be a problem usually, except my phone randomly reboots when I'm doing normal things. It's become pretty unstable and pretty much is unreliable.
Before anyone says "just factory reset it", I can't. Any attempts to factory reset, fastboot flash, ODIN, CWM reflash, or OMAP flash (I got desperate) SAY they are successful, but the phone reboots to the same state as it was before.
I'm essentially at my wits end. Any attempts to return my phone to stock do nothing.
Any ideas or thoughts?

P936 sudden reboots during download from play store

After updating several files and during downloading my P936 suddently rebooted as sometime typcial for CM10.1. I am on RC2 and WindKernel 2.0.1.
Now, after -several- reboots *i guess it were 4* it got even worse.
First, I got the start screen and download again and boom reboot.
Second, I could type in the PIN of sim and reboot.
Third, I could not even tye in the PIN anymore and reboot.
Forth, I switched it off and turned on again.
Now, it wants to start the apps, but hangs at the start screen "starting the apps" :crying:
Weird. What can I do?

I had nearly the same kind of problem on my LU6200. Factory reset and clearing Dalvik cache in recovery helped me.

[Q] Phone turns off automatically

I run a rooted SG S3 on stock 4.1.1 with an old 3.0.56 kt747 kernel
Until recently, I've been running this set up for years without any problems.
I've also updated fairly recent CWM along with the latest SU.
As the title states, my phone has been turning off automatically. After weeks of troubleshooting, I noticed a pattern.
When I press the power button, there are three different scenarios that happen.
The phone goes to sleep normally
The phone goes to sleep and immediately wakes up to the lock screen
The phone displays the shut off menu
If scenario 1 occurs, everything is fine and runs perfectly for an indefinite amount of time until i attempt to put the phone to sleep again.
but, if scenario 2 or 3 occurs, the phone automatically shuts down abruptly, within 1-5 seconds.
This problem still occurs even when I boot into safe mode, and I have eliminated the SD card as a suspect. Furthermore, booting the phone up has become extremely difficult. The boot would sometimes crash after the samsung logo, after the splash screen, or during the boot animation. It takes somewhere around 3-5 tries to fully boot up the phone.
Booting into CWM recovery is still possible, but even that sometimes crashes mid-way. I've also noticed that at certain times, when I click the power button to select an action in CWM, it actually double clicks (thankfully CWM is tolerant to that) and cancels the action I was trying to do. I've done some googling and found that an over sensitive power button is a common occurrence in this model, and while that may explain why the 3 different power button scenarios occur, it still doesn't explain the crash.
Finally, I seemed to have remedied the automatic shut off problem several times by wiping cache from CWM. When I first started having these problems and began troubleshooting, wiping the cache eliminated the problem for about a week before the problem came back. When it did, I uninstalled some apps and re-wiped the cache which eliminated the problem again for several days. However, these periods become shorter and shorter, and now wiping cache does not seem to help at all. I've also tried wiping the delvik cache, but it didn't help.
I'm stumped right now. Any suggestions would be appreciated before I try some more large-scale attempts such as resetting my phone or taking it apart. Thanks everyone!

This definitely fits more in your large-scale attempts category, but it is what I'd try.
I'd grab the stock 4.1.1 firmware from sammobile.com and Odin back to stock. You're fortunate to be on the old firmware, so you can Odin back to stock. When Odin completes successfully, pull battery don't let the phone reboot normally (untick auto reboot in Odin). Boot straight into the stock recovery and do a full wipe. Then reboot your phone normally.
Doing this will correct any problems that exist with your internal storage to the extent possible. If you've still got problems after doing this, it is probably a hardware issue.

Yeah, that's part of the reason why i didn't want to upgrade the bootloader for the newer firmwares. I messed around with my phone this morning and its been avoiding the problem ever since. Not exactly sure what I did though lol. Thanks for the reply, I'll try it if the problem comes back over the next few days.

Your phone isn't "crashing," your power button is malfunctioning. The fix is pretty easy. You will need to open your phone up and scrape it off (the phone can be turned on without it). There are youtube videos that show how to remove it.

[Q] Constantly Rebooting

Phone rebooted on me a couple times yesterday, then started doing it more and more frequently, about every 5 minutes. now, it mostly just sits looping at the HTC splash screen. Usually can't even get to recovery, reboots before it has time to load, or sometimes makes it, but dies before I can select anything. Managed to get it factory reset finally, but no luck. Sometimes it will eventually boot after 10-20 minutes of looping, and stay on for a minute or 2. Everything was bone stock (although bootloader unlocked) before this, had been running fine for months.
Any ideas before I buy a new phone?

Try installing a RUU for your version, if it stays on long enough.
If not, take it to warranty.
Good luck!

Random freeze and reboot, then bootloop

Hi,
today i had a strange problem with my nexus 5x, I was on WhatsApp and studently my phone freeze and rebooted. After that it was stuck in a bootloop, I first tried to flash the recovery images but after the flash it was still bootlooping.
I tried to use a tool that WugFresh made, I used the “Soft-Bricked/Bootloop” mode to restore it. After 20 minutes of bootlooping it finally booted properly.
BUT after configuring the phone it freezes again and same as before, it bootlooped. This time I let the phone do his business and after a while it rebooted (20 minutes again)
After each reboot, the phone works fine for 20-30 minutes and freeze and reboot again. I tried to film, take pictures, watch videos on YouTube and it worked fine each times (it freezes after I wanted to skip an ad on YouTube).
I tried:
Restore multiple versions of android (the first release and the last one, I didn’t use a older version of Nougat)
Used the WugFresh to flash the images
Erases all the partitions with flashtool commands
I want to discharge completely the phone and charge it back again (I thought that the battery was the problem but because it freezes randomly it might be something else)
Don’t know if someone had the same problem.
Here are the logcat after the phone rebooted : http: // pasted . co / 9296e1ba
I'll try anyting you'll recommand
Thank's in advance

It is easier to write than read, right?
Dunno why everyone thinks that his problem is so special

Im having the same problem as yours. Started 5 days ago, after putting the phone to charge and gone shower. After it my phone was rebooted in the boot-password screen, already gone back to 7.1.1 (was 7.1.2 beta2), flashed O and no solution. Still bootlooping and booting correctly after 10minutes of bootloop. It works for 20-30 minutes or less and freezes again. Sometimes works for hours.

My phone is not at warranty time and Google cannot help me.
