Hello,
I have the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket i727 for at&t, stock non rooted or anything and I woke up the morning because I heard my phone make a sound and it was the Jingle that it makes after it vibrates, shows Samsung and then the screen goes white and the at&t logo appears, so my phone had just restarted itself and now it just get's stuck at the at&t logo and won't go past that screen. I have removed my battery and reinserted it and the phone doesn't turn on automatically only when I press the power button so I don't think it's sticky/stuck power button as to it just freezes at the at&t logo screen but to when I press the power button or hold it actually it just restarts the phone and doesn't turn it off only turns off if I remove the battery but doesn't turn back on when the battery is put back in. So anyone have any ideas on what to do to fix it before I just end up doing a factory reset or do you think I just need to do a factory reset, as it has been working fine for the most part, there were only a couple of other times maybe like 2 or 3 that the phone just restarted itself but it didn't ever freeze or get stuck like it is now and always just booted back up. I have also gone into recovery mode and wiped the Cache partition but that did nothing. so yeah any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Edit: well I went to recovery mode and just did a factory reset and well my phone got to the same screen and was stuck for a little bit but finally loaded up the getting started screen so hopefully this fixes the problem.
I recommend flashing a stock ROM with Odin if you want complete stock. Wipe data and caches before you do. Don't install the app you installed latest cuz that could be your problem.

Today, I noticed that my data was not working right, so I decided to reboot the phone. I press the restart option, the phone turns off, the screen lights up, it goes through the restart cycle, and then suddenly, after the Tmobile logo, the screen turns black while the buttons light up. the phone is charged and I have tried repeatedly, and cannot get the phone to boot up I am currently at a summer camp, and I will not be able to exchange the phone for at least a week, and I need it to communicate with my parents.
Boot in recovery and factory reset your phone. Should work.

Thank you!!!! I was able to restore, and I am now downloading my backed-up stuff from HTC's servers. Do you think that the FOTA could have done this? Is the FOTA even being pushed by TMO yet?
Hard to say. Could be a bad app or some corrupted file that just happened to be there.... it's all good now, I wouldn't worry about it unless it happens again.
Good luck.
If this thread is more appropriate in another section, mods please move.
I'm by no means a lost newbie, having run a rooted & rom'd Epic 4G since release date and flashed it many times, modded, customized, etc, etc.
However, this dang Photon is giving me hell..
Just got the phone yesterday, unlocked the Bootloader, rooted, etc, etc. Tried updating the phone before realizing it doesn't work without stock recovery, so restored the phone back to stock'ish using some TWRP stock dumps someone posted. Flashed stock recovery back, booted, got the phone to download and apply the update, flashed TWRP back, rooted, booted, everything is good. Ok, finally I can get to restoring some data using Titanium. Restored a few things, it was getting late, and I knew it would take a while to restore my SMS/MMS messages so I kicked that off before going to bed. Phone was plugged into the charger all night. Woke up this morning and the phone was only at 50% and the SMS/MMS restore in Titanium seemed to be hung. Phone was still fully responsive, accessed the market, checked emailed, then I shut the phone down via the power menu in order to un-hang that Titanium restore...phone turns off, then shows the unlocked bootloader screen, then shows a backlit black screen and will do nothing else. Won't turn off, no combination of vol up/down and power will get into recover or fastboot. Phone has just been sitting there for about an hour now with a blank/black (but backlit so it is powered on) screen.
Any thoughts or suggestions or am I screwed at this point?
I don't know why I'm having such issues with even mildly modding this phone...
Ok, after about an hour and a half of just sitting there, the phone showed to be fully shut down. Was able to boot in to TWRP, so I then exited and rebooted and it booted all the way into the OS.
Not sure what happened or why, but I hope I'm good now.

When you powered off the device was it still on thee charger? When I power off and mine is on the charger it does the same thing. I just unplug the powr and then use poer button and vol dwn at same time to pwr off. Just threw that out there just in case it happened again.

It was plugged in when I did, but a few moments later after it did what it did I unplugged it, still was unresponsive to any power key / vol key combo, tossed it in my pocket & left for work. Tried it a few more times on the way to work, still nothing, tried it again when I go to work, still nothing, then grabbed the phone to check on it about another 30 mins later and it had fully turned off on it's on.
Who knows...been fine since.
Hello guys.
About an hour ago, I tried to access my WiFi configs, and realized it would take me back to the start screen. So I rebooted my phone. The thing is, it is now stuck in the big red Motorola/Intel logo, and keeps looping.
If I try to turn it off by using the Power button, it doesn't work. If I try to reset using Power + Vol Down, it just restarts the loop. I can't get into recovery mode, because it won't turn off.
I really don't know what to do. My phone is still trying to boot for the past hour, and I really need it, asap.
It is running Android 4.1.2. No root. As stock as it gets.
Any advice, guys? Please

I have the exact same problem.
My phone (non rooted, stock Android) has been freezing quite a lot for the past 1 or 2 weeks. Sometimes rebooting on its own, sometimes I had to force it. This afternoon it froze again and I had to force reboot, where it started freezing at the Motorola logo. I cant go any further since rebooting just makes it loop that way.
I waited for the battery to deplete so my phone eventually turned off, charged it back at around 60% and tried to go into recovery mode with power+volume up+volume down. Same results. I don't think I could have failed the recovery mode procedure because I had practiced and knew I would only get 1 chance of succeeding.
Anyone has experience with this ?
I will see if Motorola or my retailer will repair/replace it for free under warranty terms, otherwise I will try opening it up for some cleaning and maybe further attempts with control over the battery.

Well, Motorola did repair my phone for free, but I live in Brazil. It took them 1 day to repair. They say that part of the circuit board was damaged, but I don't know what could be the cause. Maybe overheat? I don't know about your phone, but mine would get up to 50ºC while using Skype.
Hi i am new here and was hoping that i get a solution to the problem that i have been trying to figure out for a few days now. I searched a lot before posting but wasnt able to find something related to this. My phone is an HTC One M7 and i was trying to update to the latest OS when the phone stopped booting into it after the update as it got stuck at the boot screen. So i waited for an hour until i decided to shut it off and when i tried restarting it, the phone stayed stuck at the HTC logo not even the ONE logo screen.
So i read a few suggestions and went into the bootloader > recovery and cleared cache and then restarted the phone as per the instruction i got afterwards. This time it kept cycling around the boot screen and black screen and so on. So i again went into bootloader and decided to *power down* the device till i was able to learn what to do next but to my surprise, the phone doesnt boot anymore into whatever there is - tried Power + Vol down, Power hold etc.
The phone charges though and is currently at 100%. So i am right now in a dilemma as whether to continue trying to fix this by myself or just send it to the service centre where they will charge around 300$ for this to get repaired while telling me that something got fried on the inside.
Thanks in advance!
I have only had it for about 16 months now. It is a MetroPCS GS7 so it's a T-Mobile variant if that matters. Never been rooted or modified in a similar way. The same thing happened with my previous phone, a GS4 which never got fixed. I was just using a video downloader app when it suddenly restarted. It only shows the first screen for about 5 seconds then restarts. I have some experience using ODIN and flashing ROMs but I don't know what I should try with a GS7.
After a few tries to get it into recovery, this is what happened. The blue recovery message in the top left showed up but I didn't let go of the buttons this time. Then this rotating white circle showed up and said something like "applying system update". After about 20 seconds then I got a screen with the dead android and it said "no command" below it. Then I don't know what happened but then suddenly the recovery menu showed up. So I picked to just power off so it is just turned off now and no longer in a boot loop. I don't know what to do from here. I won't turn it back on until I get advice on what to do next.
If you just want to fix it without worrying about losing data, see if you can get it onto download mode and full a full stock flash with all 4 firmware files in Odin.
If anything is corrupt, Odin should give you an error message which might be enough of a clue as to where to look next.
OK so I flashed it once and it didn't work, it was still stuck. After that I just gave up on keeping anything and wiped all data. I flashed it a second time and it still got stuck, but after about 10 restarts it finally worked. However it is now on the T-Mobile firmware instead of the Metro PCS one and also I am having weird problems now. I would like to go back to the Metro PCS however I cannot find any firmware for a G930T other than T-Mobile. The problems I have experienced so far is the auto brightness does not work anymore, I have to manually set brightness even when it is switched on, the screen turns on for a few seconds when it's done charging now, and also I restarted my phone to fix an app and then it got stuck in a loop again. It took 10 restarts then worked again, but that is still a problem. I don't even know if I should still be wasting my time trying to fix this. I really don't want to buy a new phone right now but I also feel hopeless in fixing this one.
