Hi!
Here is what happened to my One S (S4 version, about 6 months old). I unlocked the bootloader when i got the phone, installed cwm, afterwards twrp (2.3.1) and was running several sense and non-sense roms without any issues. Till last week:
I installed "BAKED Black Bean" in twrp and was using it for a few days without issues. One night i wanted to turn on the flashlight to search for something on the floor, and BAM: phone restarted and got stuck in a bootloop. I tried to enter recovery, but still bootlooping. Reflashing twrp or cwm did not work either. Still couldn't enter recovery. Then i managed to enter twrp again by erasing the cache in fastboot (fastboot erase cache) but now external storage was unmountable.
Here is what i tried to recover the phone:
* relocked bootloader
* ran RUU (RUU_Ville_U_Vodafone_AT_1.78.169.2_Radio_0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258382_signed.exe)
* cleared storage in hboot (this fixed the unmountable external storage)
* factory reset in hboot
Now the phone booted fine, external storage was working. BUT since then the phone is behaving strange. After a few hours it responds very laggish when i press the power button (takes up to 5 seconds for the screen to turn on, touch screen is irresponsive for a couple of seconds) and occasionally it reboots when i press the power button and is stuck in bootloop again. I already ran the RUU again, but still the same issues.
I'd really appreciate any ideas regarding this.
Hi, if you can, I'd try to start a logcat, then attempt to recreate the issue while it is running. Then post the logcat, and we might be able to see what's causing the sluggishness and random reboots.

thanks, i will post a logcat as soon as possible.
another thing i found out: when the phone is plugged in (charger or computer) it switches on normally. just when unplugged it's making troubles.
oh, and just to mention: i did not install anything on the phone. just the ruu, no apps nothing. just did the initial setup. so any 3rd party apps causing the problem can be ruled out.
sounds like you did a lot correctly
Are you wiping system as part of your wipes
You could try reformatting sdcard also
Get a nandroid and sdcard bu if opportunity presents itself
more issues:
- when opening the camera app, it takes 7-10 seconds until the picture shows up
- screen rotation is not working. when i try to calibrate the g-sensors they are not reacting at all
i think i will try my luck with warranty repair. what are my chances with an unlocked bootlader?

Have you done a logcat yet? You can try warranty, yes.
Can anyone suggest a troubleshooting method without a factory reset. This is what I am experiencing:
Everytime I reboot the Sensation will boot up and go through the normal process. About 3 or 4 minutes it will just reboot. Often when this happens I note that I don't have to re-enter my pin (a clue?). This rebooting will go on repeatedly but eventually (if I leave the phone alone) I will at some point end up with the phone up and running.
There are no random reboots, it is only this situation that causes the problem and it's obviously some point 3 or 4 mins into the process that is causing the problem.
I've noticed that if I reboot to recovery and then select reboot from there it is usually successful.
I am s/off via wire trick method, and rooted. recovery is 4 ext and I am still on stock rom.
I'd like to find out what is happening at the point of the reboot, is there a good way to do this?

boot into recovery and wipe dalvik cache n then do a normal reboot n check wad happens
you can also make a nandroid backup n install a custom and check wheather the problem exisit by doing backup ull not loose ur data n u can return to stock again just by restoring the backup ... try and let me know

Hi,
Have you installed a new ROM recently?
Did you fully wipe the phone before you did this?
If not,try re-installing the ROM you are on.
No wipes.
You will not lose settings or data.

What I noticed is that the problem didn't exist when rebooting from ADB or fastboot either.
Anyway your suggestion so far looks promising. I've tried a normal restart from the phone and a battery change both of which would usually end up with the rebooting problem. Both of these tests haven't caused it so I'll keep testing but thanks for the suggestion.
What is does the Dalvik cache do and how would this have caused this kind of problem? I'm interested in the whys. The problem appeared soon after installing a couple of things as I remember and I did try to backtrack without much success.

No I've not installed any Roms, I'm on stock.
Revived thread - as it's happening again
I'd like to revive this thread - perhaps I should post a new one but since it's here ...
This problem has returned with a vengeance. It took me about 3 hours of fighting to get this phone to stop rebooting. It seems clearing the dalvik cache isn't a solution anymore (if it was in the first place).
What I've observed is that if I take the sd card out it doesn't reboot. When the card is in I have several shortcuts on one of my home screens which often will not refresh for ages (ie. android icons for anything moved to sd card). When the icons start to appear the reboot will happen shortly after. All the time I'm waiting for this to happen the phone is very sluggish.
I don't think this is an incompatible sd card but maybe it is, however, if I can get this to stop rebooting then all is ok till I attempt another reboot.
Ideally I'd like to track this down to find out if there is an app which is misbehaving. Are there any tools that can help me do that.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Backup all your data and do a factory reset
This problem might be due to 3rd party app as you phone without sd card dosent reboots
Might be some of ur app is seriously miss-behaving
After a factory rest install each app n check ( I know it's time consuming)

Yeah hoped to avoid that for 2 reasons. 1) It's a bummer 2) I won't know what the problem was / is.
I did do a factory reset after backing up data via my recovery. It seemed to be ok but I had nothing on SD at that point. I loaded a couple of apps and moved them to sd and it still didn't happen. The I restored the data and it was back to the same problem.
I may have to go with your suggestion but I'm going to lose some data as I can't back up selectively (so it seems).
Is there a logger I can use that starts at reboot. If I could find out exactly what it's doing when it decides to reboot I might nail the app?

hi
greetings
to find the problematic app might go tough you will have to install each and every app and check after that
try installing all the trustworthy apps before eg. file manager,fb,twitter,gmail etc then check once again ,after that install single app at a time
Update:
ok somehow i managed to get my phone rooted/s-off on hboot 2.15 , TWRP 2.6.3 and made backup of ROM, everything in a few misn it allowed me to work it on fastboot, but the problem is sometimes i turn it on on Bootloader when i connect the USB cable it freezes/reboot/turnoff/works (random) , now when i manage to get into recovery, sometimes it works wiping but sometimes it just freezes and reboot, also the battery says 66%, all of the sudden is 99% then back to 66%, so i been thinking is never been a software issue, cause i wiped the rom and just boon into recovery and still do it, but its more like a hardware issue......anyone have the closest idea what i can do/try to try and fix it.
now that i got my phone working from not doing anything at all , its been working fine for a couple of days but right now screen was off when i went to check it was off , connected to charger no light so i did this :
Connected it to wall charger.
Press power + volume down
Orange LED went on
Let it sit for 5 mins
Turn it on
It turns on and battery is at around 70%
Could it be battery is bad and phone is missreading it or could it be something else ?
please anyone with any ideas, im so tired already ill try anything.

This happened to me as well I wiped the whole device meaning SD and rom then this stopped happening
mmm ill try that havent wipe SD yet but i dont see if that could be the problem but doesnt hurt trying but its just hard to even stay on the recovery long enough to wipe.
didnt work, wipe it all , reinstalled RUU stock , unlocked and rerooted again , super CID, still does that crap i think maybe hardware issue
phone is been for more than a week at a local repair center and i dont think they can even figure it out, they said may be software issue but i know for a fact isnt, it had stock rom, i wiped it out, everything, reinstall using RUU, still same problem.
Hello,
I'm running out of ideas to solve my problem with my Sensation, maybe you can help. I was on my beloved ViperS5 ROM and it crashed while browsing due to memory overload or something. After several boot attempts and removing the battery I managed at least to get into bootloader/recovery (ended up with a black screen or freeze 8/10 times). Reinstalled the ROM and it kept crashing at the configuration screen, resulting in a boot loop. So I tried a few other ROM's, exactly the same results.
My last hope was going back to stock using RUU, same problem at the configuration screen, but I managed to boot after few reboots. The phone still crashes after few minutes, when I try to start any app, resulting in a boot loop/black screen/HTC logo freeze. (tried to remove the SD card, it didn't help)
Any ideas how to fix this?
did you leave the device switched off for a long time?
if not do it and then try to switch it on
probably it is still overheated when you are trying to boot it
leave it for 10-15 minutes
best wishes
Maybe it's really damaged from overheat, cause it even crashed in recovery once, so I guess I'm ****ed. I will try to leave it switched off for a few hours, but I doubt it will help. Thanks so far.
Now I get random crashes even in recovery (4EXT, also tried TWRP), I managed to install some custom ROM's, but can't even boot properly after flashing (keeps freezing or restarting in the boot process). My Sensation is JuopunutBear S-OFF, had no problems with flashing ROM's before that. So I guess it is a hardware failure.

If memory serves correctly you should be able to get a logcat from the phone while its in recovery. it might shed come light on what is producing the failures, but its definitely sounding like a hardware failure. Were you overclocked?
How do I get a logcat?
I'm able to stay in recovery for enough time to wipe data, then it randomly crashes or when I try to flash a rom (-> black screen, remove battery to get it back on).
I couldn't even install stock RUU at the first attempt - freezing the whole installation process. No overclocking, also tried the original battery (bought a new one), with/without sdcard/sim -> still crashing.
Edit: Ok, there's a guide for logcat on xda. I will post results after work as soon as I get back home .
How is your sensation going on?

hello, may i know how is your sensation device condition? recently my device having the same issue as yours and out of idea to solve it. before i send device to repair i hope can get some other solution which i miss. thanks in advance if able to provide further infomation.
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 : '(

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.
