I've read in other forums of this problem but have not been able to find a solution (not entirely true).....when I turn the phone on in the morning, it just keeps restarting without going to the home screen. Sometimes it take 2 reboots sometimes more. The only way it will boot up correctly right from the start is to take the mem card out, so I think that's probably the problem, but it's not a corrupt or problem card. Once the phone starts and I put in the mem card all is fine.
I want to try to format the memory card from the phone, but don't know how to. Anyone else know how to do this? Also any other suggestions or solutions?
I got this once. Somehow i got the phone on. I just took the card out and put it in when its about to restart. Mabye it was luck, but i dont know. But if you get your phone on again, I would certainly format it (clear storage)
Does your phone ever act up again after that? Mine still does. It turns on fine without the memory card in. By the way, how do you format the memory card on the phone?
Mine rebooted all the time until I removed Facade. Hard Reset the phone and didn't install it and haven't had the problem since. I know Facade isn't "compatible" yet with WM6, but other than rebooting it worked fine.
Really....I'm going to try that and see what happens.
For those that have this problem, it's true. Once Facade is uninstalled and a soft reset, the problem went away....
I had this happnen to me for the first time today. I had the phone off all night (was testing another device) and then when I put my SIM back in and powered up it went into this reboot cycle. powerd off, even took the battery out still no luck.
Then I took the SIM out and tried to power up and it came right up. Powered off and put the SIM back and it worked agian first time.
Not sure, but maybe the SIM was not fully seated... since this was the first time I actually took it out since I get the VOX...and this was the first time I had the problem...

I had the same problem, although I never installed Facade, Initially the phone was fine and the it started re-booting on startup. I saw a suggestion of running SKtools and removeing duplicates in the Notification table, this worked for a while, then it came back again.
At first the only cure appeared to be to re-boot without the sd card inserted - inserting it again after the phone was running (it even had the same problem with a blank card inserted)
I then read abot someone putting the phone in Flight mode before turning it off - this also solved the problem - better than removing the card each time.

After hard reset - lost option to store attachments on storage card
I had the same problem and solved it by hard resetting the device. However after the hard reset the option to user the storage card for email attachments has disappeared from the pOutlook options screen.
The SD Card is OK and I tried to solve it by a new hard reset, but it is still not resolved.
I would be very graefull for the one that has a solution for this.
I have the same problem with my SD card.
With the card inserted the phone keeps rebooting.
With the card removed it starts normally.
When I insert the card when WM6 is running the card is normal accessible.
Tried an other card and also a 1 Gb card. Same problem over and over.
I'm going to try a Kingston card.
If anyone has a solution, I'll be happy to hear it.
i have my microSD inserted when i power on my Vox but didn't have this problem. what rom version do you have? my rom version is 1.15.405.2.
I have a friend with a similar problem. Would appreciate any further input on this situation. Has anyone taken a look at Paul's (from Modaco) answer to soft reset loop????
Check it out and see if it does anything. Want to know if that'll fix it before I take the phone off his hands.
Hi all,
Like many Vox users, I've also suffered from this problem.
I've noticed two scenarios which helped me solve the "boot-loop". Hopefully they'll help others.
I once had a GPRS monitor application installed to my strorage card. Re-installing to the phones memory helped me.
Also, when I had bluetooth turned on, I powered down, powered-up again, and the phone booted okay!
I think theres a few variables involved in this, and no single "silver bullet". Hopefully HTC will provide an official fix soon.
Michael.
Friends,
Thats all humours. Don't need to remove/install any software. All work fine except you reboot and remove your SD card.
Its simple: if rebooting occurs, just remove SD card and once booted, reinsert SD card, simple! nothing else need to do.
Its true that its a bug with WM unfortunately; i don't know when would it be resolved.
i have tried to boot up with 512MB & 1GB sd card but never had this rebooting problem. Maybe you can let me know your current rom code version and i will try to verify the problem?
I have got the same problem my phone keeps on restarting...
when i put the mem-card after restarting it is being opened as storage card 2, and default storage card option asks for turning on the bluetooth.
Re: Rebooting of Vox
Hi,
Had this problem once (and drove me nuts!, I was out on tour, no PC access nothing).
I formatted the SD Card (Its always better to use a card reader and format it from a PC.
Another I had this problem (hope you are not as dumb as me ):
I use TPC and set it to ultra slow . So every time I booted up, the CPU was not simply powerful enough to cater to the power requirement and rebooted. I had to do a Hard Reset. Hope you have your contacts backup before you go for a hard reset

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you have bluetooth file explorer turned on, it will show as a storage card
i had it long time ago with one of the official htc roms.
The solution is to make loose the simcard-slot in the middle of the booting.
Vox will turn off.
Close and start the phone again.
It should be over then.
Re: Official ROMs
Yeah! The official ROMs suck! actually the best solution will be to switch to a custom ROM from Dr G/FH / fireburned, they are much much better feature wise/ battery backup wise and speed wise. I think HTC should try using one of those ROM as there official ROM
My problem started when apps from the anroid market began to update on their own. I'm not sure what apps they were, but my phone when out. After my phone went out, I took the battery, SIM, and Sd card out of the device and tried to reboot it. Now, when my phone boots, it gives me the ATT screen, goes to black with the bottom row buttons lit up and the phone vibrates once and twice in quick succession and then goes out again. My phone has been acting this way for the past 4 days. On occasion the phone will completely boot for a minute or two, and then will go out and reboot to the black screen. I'm not sure what I can do next. I do NOT have a rooted device and the majority of my music is located on the internal sd. (I'm just now figuring out that the internal and external SD are not the same) I don't want to lose the media on the internal sd and I don't want to lose my bookmarks. I have tried to transfer files from the internal to the external sd, on the rare occassion of when my phone fully booted for a quick minute, but I had no such luck. I have tried backing things up on my computer, but I get an error message that the USB is corrupted and has malfunctioned. I have read about ODIN3, but I have not tried to flash the device, everything is the way it was when I bought the phone. Is there any hope for me? Will a hard reset wipe the data off of my internal sd? I just want my media files and possibly save my bookmarks....PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! What can I do?........Samsung Captivate 2.1
No you shouldnt loose your media, use this method.
Thanks a lot!!!!!
Hi! I really need help with this phone. SD cards won't appear on my phone, they used to though. The problem, I suppose, started when suddenly my phone gave me an error message saying that my SD card was corrupted. I left it like that for a while, but the message never went away, until recently when I tried to fix it by formatting the card with my computer as FAT32 so I could root the phone. After that it recognized it but quickly stopped, it just disappeared, and every time I removed the card and placed it back in the message would appear for a second and vanish the next. I decided to try to format it again on the pc and see if it would get recognized on another phone (Moto G 2gen.. which had another card on it), and it did.. When I saw that the other phone could see it and even use the card, I tried to see if the one that was on that phone worked on my Moto X.. it didn't. It didn't even display the error message. So I placed the first card back on the Moto X Play and the corruption message appeared for what seemed like less than a second every time I remove and replaced the card, that kept happening for a while, until eventually no message appeared even if I rebooted the phone. The card can be used by just about anything, but nothing gets recognized on the phone. I don't think that the slot is faulty since I've had the phone for more than a year now and more than half of that time I didn't use an SD card, also the problem started just recently and the slot seems just fine, the sim card works great and it goes right on top of the SD card. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
PS: Is there anyway to root the phone without sd card? I really need to root it. Also the phone is running Marshmallow.
I am at a loss... I have a Samsung Galaxy J7, (sm-j700p) and I have a 64GB SD card in it. It was working fine until thirty minutes ago, and a preexisting problem reared its ugly head; The battery the device comes with does not have the proper voltage to power the device when it's under a large amount of stress. So when the screen spazzed out, I thought I knew what happened, and I just powered off the device, popped the battery out and then let the device fully recharge, which fixed the problem. But unfortunately, a new problem arose. The apps I had moved to the SD Card weren't loading in, as if the SD Card wasn't inserted. I went to the Storage settings (Settings>Storage) and low and behold, it was reading it as mounted. So I jumped over to Total Commander (my 3rd party file browser) and found I could access and manipulate the files with no problems. So could anyone tell me what happened? And maybe how to fix it?
[EDIT] I have fixed the SD Card, basically copying the data from the SD to my PC, then formatting the Card, and setting it up on the device before restoring the files. The only problem I face now is when I move apps, the phone either has no problem with it or restarts immediatly.
I have been the owner of this Samsung Galaxy S9 for about 13 months now, and earlier today my battery died. When I turned the phone back on after partial charging, it acted extremely strangely. It rebooted to the secure boot pin screen a few times, and even to recovery mode a couple of times, rebooting about every 3 minutes. But that isn't it; wifi and cellular refused to connect, the screen would not go off if I pressed the power button, the settings app would not open, many other apps barely works, and the device was very slow for the time it was on.
I did the usual troubleshooting steps, clearing the cache in recovery mode, booting into safe mode, uninstalling recently installed apps, scanning with Knox and Malwarebytes, nothing. But, I remembered the day before, inside Samsung Gallery, there was a little text box before my images that said "SD Card has corrupted information, please back up your SD card and consider replacing it." I didn't think too much about it, or screenshot it. Well, to try something, I removed the SD card and booted normally. The only thing I changed that time was the lack of the SD card and voila, it worked fine. Haven't had an issue since, and I honestly think it might be running better.
For my amateur speculation/hypothesis: I believe when Android starts up, it tries to index installed SD cards. The card I am using is an old Samsung Evo 32 GB card, to the tune of 5+ years. Possibly, with the age of the card, there was light corruption in one folder or cell, and Android didn't know what to do with it. I can't find any corrupted files, but I guess Android hung on parsing the microSD card. I just wanted to share my experience and see if anyone had heard of something similar; I sure cannot find anything on it.
TL;DR: A corrupted microSD card in my Galaxy S9 caused Android to lose most function, and bootloop. Usual troubleshooting did nothing, however, removing the card returned the OS back to normal.
