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] Noot booting after restore

Well, I think I may be in trouble here.
I set out to completely restore my N8010 to the stock UK firmware but unfortunately I ran into some few problems.
I read an article (this one) on how to restore a Note 10.1 back to factory settings letter by letter and I'm now stuck on the Samsung logo.
I did run into a problem however. When I was using Odin putting the files onto the device I brilliantly got a power cut. Not thinking much of it, when I got my power back, I tried again using Odin and it said it worked but now I'm trying to boot up it's not. Anyone have any troubleshooting hints?

I used the same page for instructions. The same thing happened to me- got stuck on Samsung logo. What I did (at your own risk of course) was to boot into recovery mode. Then clear cache then did factory reset then restart. Worked but wipes all data. Then reboot and voilà it booted completely.

[Q] Bricked for no apparent reason

I rooted my phone back in December and have been using it without problems since then. I've rebooted it tons of time, haven't installed anything unusual or tried to modify anything. I just followed the normal instructions for rooting and flashing a custom rom. Today, I rebooted my phone and now it's hanging at the Galaxy SIII logo screen. Taking out the battery didn't help. I have no idea why it would do this out of the blue. What are my options for fixing this? Can I recover my data?

Should be easy to fix. Common issue.
Try booting into recovery. If you can then clear cache and dalvik. Try rebooting then.
If that doesn't work try re flashing the rom,
If you can't reboot into recovery but can get into download mode then you can easily fix it at the cost of losing all your data.
Let me know how it turns out.
At this point, my phone is just one big tweak.

Wiping the caches didn't work, so I ended up having to reflash the rom. Everything seems to be back to normal now though, thanks!

[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.

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

Samsung Galaxy S6 randomly restarting / gets stucked

Hello guys!
I am encountering an issue with my Samsung Galaxy S6 G920I. The phone suddenly started to restart on its own every 30 seconds or so. After some restarts the phone started to get completely stuck in a randomly time matter, and the only way to take it out of there is by doing a hard reset (volume down + power buttons).
I tried everything. Did wipe cache and factory reset in recovery mode, flashed a new stock ROM with Odin several times but it is still doing that.
The stuck issue also happens on screens like "installing update" or "erasing", after doing the ROM flash with Odin.
Any thoughts?

Try device initialization using SamsungSmart Switch. it Should solve the problem. But that method wipes entire internal storage. So backup before you do anything,
Device initialization is something like resetting it to factory setting by clean install of the firmware.

Hi, could you fix it ? The exact same thing happened to me. I was using stock firmware (I never rooted it or anything) and it suddenly began to reboot by itself. It can be stuck in a bootloop for 2 straight days and then suddenly boot normally and use it for a couple hours until it starts bootlooping again. After a month of having this issues I decided to flash stock 7.0 firmware with ODIN and also with Smart Switch but after succesfully applying the update the phone reboots with the "installing system update" screen and then it gets to 32% and it says "erasing" after which it starts the bootloop once again. I'm stuck with a $500 paperweight. I'm afraid it could be something with the motherboard any help is greatly appreciated!
