Soft reset makes phone unbootable (PDAViet 4.0.0.5a) - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading

I recently installed PDAViet's 4.0.0.5a ROM. I thought all was working smooth and fast until I recently tried to soft reset the device.
What happened is that the phone never booted. It was just stuck at the green Windows Mobile splash screen.
Has this happened to anyone else? If so, how did you solve the problem?
All help is appreciated

Just reboot the system one more time or two more times, by Soft Reset. It will always come back. There must be some 3rd party software that made some changes to the ROM. It might not be reproducible later.

I tried it to no avail.. I haven't even installed any 3rd party software. It sucks but a hard reset did the trick.. lost all my new contacts and stuff though

Don't give up. Try update once again. But remember to follow exactly each step. and it is often worthwhile to do a couple of Hard Resets before and between and after each step.
I have the same problem before, in my initial attempts in upgrading, but once the machine is clean after a couple of HR (actually once is enough), I never had the same problem now.

Thanks anyway, however.. That's the thing, I was able to successfully flash the ROM to PDAViet. However after using the device for some time, it fails. It vibrates non-stop all of a sudden. Then if I reset, it won't boot anymore (stuck in the Windows Mobile splash screen. I think it may be a hardware problem already..

[Q] Boot Problem on HTC HD2

Help,
I recently installed Duttys Family rom onto my HTC HD2, it went through all the basic set up procedure (Set time & date etc.) then rebooted, upon reboot it froze on the starting screen (black screen with a pink disc) I did a hard reset without the sim card in and it started fine and ran fine but putting the sim back in causes the freezing problem again.
I then started the phone without the sim in and installed MAGDLR 1.1 rom to see if this would resolve the problem however it has just made it worse as the phone gets stuck on the black screen as before but won't go further, I've tried hard and soft resets as well as task29 but nothing works, I've also tried the sim in other phones to see if that is the cause of the problem but it works fine, also the warranty is void due to installation of HSPL.
Anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this problem? Help would be really appreciated

[Q] Restart loop(not bootloop) - really weird

Hey lads,
I got a really weird problem and I've tried nearly everything I can think of. I had EMUI 2.3(b121sp06) and I tried the online OTA update to b307 if I remember right(was automatically suggesting the update) and at the update screen it loaded to about 99% and then stopped. Said not to press power while on this screen but obviously it wasn't going to finish. So I reset the phone and it started the "recovery loop", so basically keep trying to apply the update. I had to flash CWM to break out and flashed the whole system by hand(recovery,system,boot,cache,cust and userdata img files) and it starts up but it keeps resetting and seemingly it's random. Android boots up, I don't touch the phone--> boom reset. Weird thing is it even does it in recovery.
If I really want to explain the problem it's like as if my finger got stuck on the power button(that naturally made me think that the button might be f*cked), but booting into fastboot and not having resets cleared my suspicion. What I also noticed is that every time it boots up it doesn't recognize the sim card and I have no signal or whatsoever.
Tried multi tool unbricking method -> doesn't work
Tried factory reset from stock recovery(had to be fast so it doesn't reset before) ->doesn't work
Tried wiping dalvik cache and factory reset from CWM ->doesn't work
Tried killing battery by letting it keep resetting -> battery drained, reset loop stopped ->put the phone on charger->reset loop started again
I have no f*cking clue how can I get out of this, will keep trying though. Any help is appreciated, thank you!
Hi
Did you try to remove the Sd Card ? Honor 6 reboot is often due to faulty SD Card.
Which model do you have ? L04 ?
B307 upgrade sure ?
Seb
Yes, that was my first idea, still does it though. I have the L02 and I'm not positive it was b307, but it started with 3, could be b303 if there is one.
I don't know for L02 but for L04 there is a Full ROM that you can flash with the three buttons method. (Vol+,Vol-, power and put the ROM in /dload folder on the SD card).
Maybe there is such thing for L02 ?
There is, but as I said the phone restarts even in recovery. It's like the phone restarts every 30 secs except for fastboot.
if it's not SD card or internal flash problem so, it seems to be hardware related to me (
Would make sense but it occurred only after I tried OTA. Would be really surprised if that killed that hardware :-/

Its might be a battery problem Or power flex cable. Try to turn on the phone during charge
guys im facing the same problem now... waiting for any solutions
I have tried stop & uninstall some app
I've tried as quickly as I can when the phone (nokia x) is on, then I stop> uninstall I consider potentially cause this problem (facebook, whatsapp, uc browser) and then it managed to prevent the continuous restarts. but problems arise even though the application had me uninstall and then I restart the phone. and it is back again, I uninstalled the app that has remained with the error settings and restart repeatedly. who knows what else : '(

Did you follow the guide here?
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
In the past my battery lost it's endurance pretty much. Furthermore I've read that a defective battery causes lots of weird behaviours on our Honor 6, which was the same to mine.
In my case a replacement of the battery worked well, to get my Honor 6 back to life:

It's not that difficult and lasts approx. 30-45 mins. Spare Batteries are available for 6 - 10 bucks on ebay or directly from the chinese internet stores.

It's really important that we use original chargers for the health of our device.

Stock rom keeps corrupting, advice please.

Sorry if its been asked, i tried a search but couldnt match my problem.
I bought a used samsung s6 for my son, it seemed fine when we checked it.
But its got an odd bug where if it restarts it gets stuck on boot up.
I've used smart switch to reinstall the offical samsung stock rom
The re-install all his apps.
The phone works fine and re-boots fine.
But after a few days, if restarted it wont boot and just gets stuck on the boot loadung screen. None of the special boot options helps, clearing cache or reset.
The only fix is to use smart switch to do a complete wipe and reinstall official software.It has never had Knox tripped, and the guy didnt seem to be the type to run a custom rom.
It getting to be a pain as he cant turn his phone off and if his battery runs down gis ogone will become useless until i re-set it and wipe all his data and settings. Which I have to do on an almost weekly basis
I have a few questions...
Is it a hardware issue? (It the stock rom on a phone thats never been modded afaik)
anybody know whats causing this to bomb in stock firmware?
Any idea how to fix it?
Would a custom rom fix it?

I had this problem with my brand new S6 when I first got it. Yes, random reboots were occurring every now and then, which I could live with. Then one day it just got stuck at the boot logo and didn't boot no matter how many times I re-flashed stock firmware with Odin. Turns out it was an issue with the Main Board inside the phone. Once I got it repaired it's been fine ever since.

Galaxy S6 - freezing and rebooting 50+ times a day

I've got a Vodafone UK version SM-G920F that has recently started to freeze, crash and reboot constantly.
I managed to back up my data and perform a factory reset from the Setting page, but it crashed 10+ times during the install process (would freeze at various different stages, either rebooting on its own, or requiring a Vol Down+Power reset)
I'm now on a fresh install, but it's still rebooting constantly. I managed to use it like normal for an hour today, but right now it's just rebooted 3 times and won't even get past the Samsung loading screen without several Vol Down+Power resets.
What other options do I have? And is anyone aware of a known hardware issue that could cause this?
I was considering flashing a different ROM, but I'm scared it would reboot during the process and corrupt something...

Maybe a battery issue?
a friend just gave me his very same model phone with the very same issues.. if I find out anything I'll tell you here, or if you solve it first please write down what you did.
Thanks Vibbuz.
I've been trying to download a stock firmware to flash via Odin, but download speeds from Updato are really bad.
So I managed to flash a firmware after installing Odin on a Windows laptop (painful trying to get it to work on my Mac)
Firmware installed OK, but after boot I was getting a constant "com.sec.epdg" pop-up box that wouldn't let me use the phone at all. Not sure if that's due to the tsar3000 firmware?
Wiped the cache and did a factory reset after booting into recovery, and now it's stuck in a boot-loop again (95% of the time it hangs at the Samsung logo animation)
Just tried using SamFirm v0.3.6 to find the correct file. Downloaded a 4gb file, but several attempts to extract only gives BL, CP, CSC files but no AP (throws up an Unknown Error during process).
So still stumped!
Yet another update. Left Updato running overnight and downloaded a firmware.
Flashed it with Odin, claims to have succeeded but phone then reboots and hangs at "Erasing" stage (Android logo is spinning, then stops)
I'm starting to think it's pretty broken...
I've been having this exact same issue since June. If your phone happens to boot try activating power saving mode (to reduce cpu speed) as soon as possible.
It seems that doing that diminished the frequency in which my phone rebooted. If it also helps you it might be a faulty battery that can't provide enough voltage. (I'm not 100% sure on this part though, just thought of it because of the apple batteries drama)
Please post your results! Looks like a lot of people are affected by this and it would be great if we could find the cause of the problem.
I just read your thread actually! Sounds very similar to mine.
I've got nowhere. I don't think it's hard-bricked as I can still access Odin mode on the phone, and sometimes boots to Recovery, but it freezes and various different points and is currently unusable (either freezes at Samsung logo, "Erasing" part after installing firmware, or once it started to run though new device setup then froze).
Went ahead and bought an S8, but still want to fix the S6!

Hi I have same Problem I send the my s6 for repairmen that Saied me this problem related to mobile Hard drive.
I didn't believe it and try some official rom and a rom from Philippine GLB solve my problem for 3 M/o but now developed as same problem whitout any successful rom installation.
I think this problem from incompatibility google play store version to my rom. please flash a custom rom without google apps and immediately after installation turned off data and Wi-Fi internet after 2 day whit sim card whit out any change in setting can use it.
Hello,
anyone found some kind of solution? Happened to me also - freezing, restarts and then my S6 stopped working.. Sometimes I can boot to recovery menu, sometimes it boots up to android (and then freezes again), but the chances are almost non existing. Service man told me the same thing as @ghasemzm - eMMC failure. Yes, it is completely possible, but i don't wanna believe it, because they only tried to reflash the rom. I've made some "google research" and found that there were some issues in power IC on S6/S6E. Could this be related to it?

Will test the theory and let the group know.
So i have installed philipines latest update 6.0.1 i think with PIT file provided on Sammobile.
I have tested it for a day with normal ussage like i set up every other phone and it still continued restarting.
Figured out let me test with no google account signed in and the phone is working perfectly. For a full day.
So i dont know what the problem is but i will try again with google account tomorrow for a day see what happens.
After that will install 7.0.1 uk update with PIT file for it and test with that.
I have the same problem and I am quite sure that it is the mobile hard drive.
I tried to use F2FS but didn't find a working rom for that.
Samsung refused repair because of root.... Never Samsung again!
same issues here - any solutions found? My best guess is hardware fault...
