Did you do something with your phone or did this happen all by itself?
Try flashing STOCK ROM via Odin.

Put your phone in recovery, Try wiping user data but it'll delete you contacts. If nothing happens then reflash.

Hi All,
I am facing the same issue. I upgraded my firmware from stock 2.2 to 2.3.3 GB around 6 months back and it was working fine till 2 days back. Suddenly 2 days back it started restarting itself and it ended in a boot loop. When I tried removing battery and started the phone, it semi resets the phone(like contacts and other settings getting deleted). I tried going to recovery mode and did factory reset/ Wipe cache and restarted my phone, but it was of no use. Today I tried to flash my phone with XXKPQ firware for which I flashed XXKPE first as per the guidelines given in Misledz's post. Flashing was successful, but it again ended in boot loop.
Guys, Please guide me on how to proceed with this. Its really irritating to see my phone in boot loop
Thanks a ton in advance.

I think this is a problem of psuedo reset...flash the stock firmware and take it to the service centre.They will replace the motherboard (you might even get 16GB internal memory )

Damn!! I am having the exact same problem and it also started a few days back!! Plus the phone heats up a lot during this with a massive battery drain.
I have tried hard reset, but no good so far and the phone is completely in stock condition DDKP3. Any Solutions??

It all started by itself...I am running the stock ROM only...I have tried clearing the cache and dalvik too..
Now i have flashed the recent ROM by Aditya (Titanium V3) and its having the same problem..!!

One more thing
One more thing that I have noticed is that whenever I press the home screen button after the phone is idle, the screen lights up and then the phone restarts suddenly resulting into boot loop..!!

[Q] PLEASE HELP, Stuck in bootloop and no way out!

I have a p5113 and it is running 4.2.2 it is a friends. It turns on all the way to the homescreen for about 30 seconds. Then it reboots. I have gotten into recovery and it lets me wipe data factory reset. Then when I go to reboot it shows an error below the android and there has been no data wipe when it reboots. and reboots and reboots.........It also says NO COMMAND when booting recovery below the android. OH, I also tried flashing another stock recovery. Did not fix issue with recovery.
I have gotten into download mode and tried to cf root. Doesnt work, no recovery. Still same as above just goes to stock with no command written at bottom then error when you go to reboot it. Tried both versions of CWM and TWRP Odin files. DONT WORK. Tried to flash recovery by zip and get signature verification failure.
I figured oh, I will do what I always do to tablets try and reinstall the firmware. Which is the 4.2.2 firmware I go ahead and odin it, everything looks fine, it did take way too long like an hour and half. Passes, reboots, same operating system same data didnt change a thing! Still rebooting still recovery errors. Tried to downgrade to ICS and it passed after an hour and a half of slow odining NOTHING again same story as JB didnt change anything.
I have noticed that there is an avg in apps. I never get enough time to uninstall it. It always reboots before I can get to it. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED.

so you wanna say that your tab is in bootloop
if that then please revert to stock rom
also if you are not able to do this then i have to say that your tab is bricked
try triangle away or take it to customer care

not a brick and I am on stock if you would have read the OP you would know that. I have had a brick before the definition of a brick is a device that does not turn on. I have flashed many tabs with stock and customs. Thanks for the great advice but I am a member of XDA and I like to do things myself or with the help of others in my community. I REFUSE TO TAKE ANY ANDROID DEVICE TO CUSTOMER CARE THAT STILL TURNS ON>

i like your confidence brother but i was just helping you
also with your threads title in thought you were still having bootloop
also boot loop mainly happens when system files interfere with each other and result in instability during boot and crashes also it is not always necessary that in boot loop device would not turn on as you said earlier
i have seen boot loop on my tab even during charging animation as it was off it was due to use of flashing scripts that conflicted with each other

[Q] Bricked... and bad battery :(

Just to explan in short notes how everything started..
I was using "ICS GPCR V2.1 by P-VLAD" happily for about a year i think, didn't have any problems. Then one day when i started to play some game my phone just turned off. After that i noticed that my battery drops to zero when i turn my phone on again. I noticed after, that my phone shuts down always when i watch 3d stuff or when my flashlight is on, after 1 or 2 minutes..
So i thinked it's time to refresh system.. So i went to factory reset on phone settings (not on recovery). Then i fell in bootloop. I don't know why but then i started TWRP and wiped cache, dalvik, system.. And that's it, im now in bootloop.
After that i accidently saw that i have inflated battery, so system probably was not the problem..
I readed everything from around this and...
Flashed again TWRP, bootloaders with "SimpleTool" and "OS Hacking" (tried them both), then i tried again to flash P-VLAD ROM but nothing, just says "booti: mmc_read 0x55e2dc" and bootloop stays. Tried "Universal_RecoveryLoop_Breaker.zip", then flashd everything, but it's same again.
I don't know it's possible because of bad battery that those tools cannot do their job. Also when i flash ROM i must get phone to charger..
What to try next?

[Completed] [Q] I need help with a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113

Hello community, I am new here so I don' t know where to put this.
Well I need some help, I am having problems with my old tab, A Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113, Flashed with custom ROM CM 10.1.3 for GT-P5110
Worked fine for a year and a Half, the issue that I am having now is that, it constantly restarts, after entering to the OS I can tweak change etc, but after a few secs it just turns of and reboots the system.
The other problem that I am having is that I tried everything that I could think of. I deleted some apps, which came back after the reboot. I booted to safemode, and deleted the last apps that I installed, still came back after the crash reboot.
I went to recovery mode (CWM) and did a Factory reset, delete cache and delete Dalvik Cache. Nothing when reboot everything was like last time.
wen't to and tried to reflash CM 10.1.3 (stable) following every procedure and nothing everything was back.
Last thing I tried is ODIN with stock ROM (which is hard to find for this tab.) but get write error after going to half. I am downloading a second stock ROM (android 4.1.1) to see how it goes.
Hope to find help here, I would be greatly thankful.
EDIT: Flashed now with the new stock ROM, ODIN says success, everything seems fine, but again I got received by the same splash and the same logon screen, and still crashes and reboots...

I really need the help

It keeps with the boot loop.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. After you flash with Odin go into the stock recovery and do a factory reset. If that doesn't work it may be that you're device is just getting old and giving up the ghost. There's a whole forum for your device which may also help. See this,http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2

Oh, that would be bad news :/
Do you think it could be that I deleted CWM rommanager app, and then accidentally deleted the .recovery, that put me into this situation?

It didn't work. I noticed that after the transferring of odin it doesn't go to the installation procedure. It just skips that and goes to the logscreen with how everything I had.
Now I went to safe mode, and deleted all apps that I could from play store. when I came back after a restart, everything was there, back. :/

Please ask any further questions you have on the q&a forum in your drives forum, the link I gave you. They are the experts on your device

[CM] SM-N900 Stuck at optimizing apps, bootloops

Hi there!
After about a week ago, I’ve turned off my Note 3. Then two days later, when I wanted to use it, I’ve turned it on. After CM logo appears, its says:
“Android is starting
Optimizing x apps of x”
I know this is because of ART, but after it finishes, my phone reboots, and CM logo appears again, and nothing happens. After a while, it starts optimizing apps again. Now I left it for 2 hours, my phone didnt boot up.
What should I do? I didnt flash any new kernel, rom, recovery or anything else. Im on CyanogenMod, with CWM recovery. I dont want to factory reset, because of my photos and videos.
Even I tried to start in safe mode, but I couldnt get to it, and Im not really sure that I tried to enter safe mode properly.
Please help!

Just dirty flash the rom again through cwm.
See if it works

It's high time you flashed TWRP already.

Ahh I would suggest you to get TWRP, The world has moved on and I think you should too! It's just a little better at things overall. TWRP can be flashed through ODIN. As for the Bootloop, try dirty flashing the ROM. Just wipe the dalvik/ART and cache and leave the rest as it is.

What do you mean on “dirty flashing”? Do I lose my data if I flash my rom again?

No you don't, dirty flashing = installing the same ROM without wiping or resetting any data sets, just reflashing that zip again, JIC some files got corrupted, if that doesn't help you might have to give it a fresh start.
