I had this issue of the boot loop and was pouring over dozens of threads. THe phone would reset itself after the inital splash screen loaded. flashing stock rom didn't work, nor did flashing the radio or flashing from sd card. I bought a secondary charger and also another battery, but those did not solve anything. There were no bent contacts on the battery. What finally worked was this:
I plugged the phone into the wall outlet, and let it just continuously reset itself overnight. In the morning when I looked, the phone was on the windows welcome screen.
I have not seen this solution posted anywhere so I wanted to put one more option out there on the table for anyone else experiencing a similar issue.
That is real weird...
try a task 29
Hi,
Had the same problem today.
I have tried HARD-RESET, flash STOCK ROM from the SD, none helped.
Then I saw that one of the phone battery pins is in a strange position.
I have fixed it, put back the battery - and WALLA !!
Hope it will assist
I am having the same continuous rebooting problem now after loading Task29.
I managed to load a new ROM on the device but it still continuously reboots.
I have checked the pins on the battery - they are fine.
Hey Quazimoto,
Please check the pins on the HS which the battery will touch,
on my Raphael, one of the pins (of the handset itself) was bended to the side, when I have fix it, so it again touched the battery, all went good.
Cheers!
strange
well remove ur memorycard, flash a new rom or original rom.. dun put ur SD card back give it a try.. cuz sumtimes strange things do happens cuz of memory card
So its just happened to me and what started it was to allow the battery to go low .. very low dead. before shutting down andriod and entering the reboot cycle to enter back into windows.
Charging on a USB PC connection continued the reboot cycling.
Charging on the mains socket stopped the cycling ... and once charged sufficiently (4omins) it now boots ok.
I won't let it run so low from now on.

Hi,
I just bought one of these off eBay (need that hardware 5 row keyboard). Switched it on and was merrily configuring wireless when it shut off. Yep - I should have plugged it into the mains before doing anything. But I didn't.
Now it sits there with the red light on (when plugged into the mains) but nothing happens. Yesterday it was looping; it would get to the Vodafone splash screen then shut off, give a little vibrate then do it again a couple of minutes later. I left it overnight and now it's just sat with the red light and ain't doing anything much.
Have tried hard reset several times (one time it got to the tri-colour screen with ROM info etc but I've not got back to that screen since!). To my knowledge it is stock Windows Mobile 6.1 Vodafone (UK). Is a RHOD100. Have done many searches on this forum and the Internet at large. In the absence of any other suggestions I think I'll try a new battery.
Any help very much appreciated!
Cheers,
Geoff
Hi ,
I had the same problem of Reset cycles after the battery in my Touch Pro2 was totally discharged.
The solution that worked for me was to take out the micro SD card and charge the TP2 through the main socket - this stopped the reset cycles.I left the battery to be charged overnight and in the morning I just had to plug out the device from the charger and perform Soft reset.
The TP2 was back to life without loss of data.

This is the Touch Pro2 CDMA forum. This is a totally different device than what you have. You might try a Galaxy forum.

Solution
Hi,
The problem is caused by the phone booting while the phone is just on charge. The phone charge circuit shuts off in the first splash screen. The battery still has minimal charge so discharges fully, the phone shuts off and we start all over again.
So, repeatedly plugging in the charger and unplugging same before the phone starts - will work. You will be able to leave the charge on for an ever increasing time - starting at about 5 seconds. Repeat for approximately 10 minutes. Eventually the phone will remain on charge without starting up.
boots with no SIM or Memory card

OK, this actually work for my looping T-Mobile G2. Removing the SIM and Memory card boots the device and seems stable. So I was going to format the SD card, but I just put the SIM back in again with no mem card. Now it starts looping again. So tried and old SIM that T-Mobile had cloned to attempt another fix and it starting looping with that SIM. So removed that SIM, and again, with no SIM card the phone boots fine. So it has to be some hardware issue, maybe SIM contacts? Unclear
Same issue

Lets see, what happens after doing your process.
Im trying to explain everything to prevent unneeded questions
I have viewed several threads about this but absolutely none with an answer. My Samsung Infuse 4g with at&t (nonrooted) is in a bootloop. The cause of this was my every-other-day reboot. Once I turned it back on it goes to the samsung screen for about 5 secs, then goes black, then says samsung again and so on repeatedly. I pull the battery and as soon as it makes contact back with the phone it turns on by itself into the same Samsung screen over and over. When plugged into wall or computer it will show the charge screen where there is no battery life left, then it will flash and start up the charge screen again and so on just like the samsung screen. I cannot go into download mode (the buttons, at this point, do nothing. No response)
I have tried taking the battery out and plugging in usb cable to computer, then holding both volumes and putting battery in=charging loop
↑ with volume up=charging loop
↑↑ with volume down=charging loop
computer doesnt detect it, adb cant find it, cannot go into download mode, odin cant see it, heimdall cant see it, cant actually boot into anything, cant leave battery in or else phone will restart itself the entire time, and this was caused by my (already gbread) infuse 4g doing a regular reboot (aka power button, tap power off, after phone is confirmed off take battery out, battery back in, turn on)
Recommendations at this point? on a scale from 1=noob to 10=expert im a 7 on this type of thing. Ive always heard that as long as you can boot into a picture its only soft bricked but if i was right i wouldnt be here. Any and all help would be much appreciated. If you need me to post a video I would have NO problem doing that showing everything im doing.
oh, and by I have viewed several threads about this i meant that i have only been able to find 1 thread about it and 2 links that didnt work for me but might for you
link that worked- http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1354731.html

You might have already tried this way, but I've always held down both volume buttons first before plugging in the USB cord - not the other way around. You can also try different cords, different USB ports and/or different computers.
Mine was doing this the other day and it turned out to be my SD card being flaky. Maybe try taking it out and booting?

Ive tried a hp touchpad cord, an atrix cord, and the original cord. I cant really do the button combo because as soon as the battery makes contact the phone turns on. thats why i had the usb cord in first to see if it worked. ive tried every usb port and 2 different laptops, the computer wont recognize it if the phone wont go past the samsung start up screen

I've taken the card out and used a different card, nothing. Tried taking sim card out, nothing.
I should have been clearer. Leave the battery out of the process until after attaching the cord and the screen coming up.

I do, every time.
1. battery out
2. hold down volume buttons (any combo)
3. attach cord (nothing happens, no screen, nothing)
4. put battery in
Results= Charging loop

should be the same...wonder if you battery needs to be charged first, it should be fully charged at best...to do any flash/Odin/one click
this how I do it...basicly the same..
>take batt out
>plug in usb cable...to both phone and computer
>hold both volume buttons...NO NOT HOLD THE POWER BUTTON....
>put batt in...
and bam should see the android dude shoveling in yellow triangle...
If you get no response from the usb without the battery, and inserting the battery indicates the battery needs charging - I'd suspect the phone's usb port. Especially after trying different cords & computers.

Have you tried a jig you can buy them on ebay for 6-12 bucks or you can donate one of you old cables and make it your self..

this will/should get you into download mode
Hello.
I have the same problem... tried also everything now i gave it to cellphone shop, i hope you guys can give me answer before i am gonna waist $100
HELP?1
Help me please
I was in this state. There are two options I can think of. A JIG as mentioned previously or the Heimdall One-Click-Unbrick. The one-click unbrick did it for me and got me back to cmw and download mode, then i could flash to stock, root and flash up to ICS. It was really easy and I stopped sweating once it booted to cmw instantly after running it.
Joe
hello.
The problem is when i connect it to my computer its keep disconnecting and doing terreble noise, (windows noise) when you keep connecting and disconnecting USB cable
JIG DIDNT WORK, because the same problem.... maybe the chargging connect is broken? or has a corrosion?

Moving to Q&A
Sounds/Looks like a hardware issue...
Did it get any water damage in the past?
Hope you got warranty or still under warranty.
I am having exactly the same problem. My Infuse has never been rooted or unlocked (quite ironically, I was about to root it for the first time).
Boot loop when not plugged in, charge loop when plugged in. Absolutely no combination of buttons, inserting/removing the battery, and/or plugging/unplugging the USB has gotten it to do anything.
This has happened several times over the past few days. The first few times it sorted itself out in an hour or two. Today I couldn't get it to do anything at all.
I found several posts by people who have this problem, and it has never been conclusively solved from what I've seen. Finally one person said they fixed it by lightly smacking the phone with their hand. Lo and behold, it came on for about 5 minutes before looping again. So I smacked it again, and before it could re-loop, I factory reset it. A few hours went by and I was convinced that it was fixed.
A few minutes ago I had it plugged in to my computer via USB and was getting ready to SuperOneClick it. Then it went back into loop. I can't get it to come on this time. Again, no combination of buttons will send it into download mode. The computer can't see it. The battery is charged. The USB cable and port are fine. The software was reset earlier today. Does this mean that I have a hardware problem, or is there a software issue that could be fixable?
EDIT: So I decided to try hitting the power button, something that had never worked to this point, and the device came on. A couple minutes later it went back to boot loop. On a whim I tried download mode, which had stubbornly refused to work all day. Of course it immediately worked. Not really knowing what to try, since I'd already wiped user data, I wiped cache data and formatted the internal SD. Then I told it to reboot. Back to boot loop. A few minutes later, it came back on with the power button. Two minutes later, boot loop again. Then it restarted of its own accord. And now back to boot loop. I just don't even know anymore.
EDIT2: Just a thought... Something is weird with the power button. Whenever the phone is on and I hit power (briefly, not holding it down), it goes to the shutdown menu as though I'd held it down. A few seconds later, I'm always back in boot loop.
Infuse loop
I have found the problem. It is, in my case, the power button. I removed the case and crossed terminals with a paperclip. BAM. Booted up, and when I removed the paper clip.... back to boot loop at Samsung logo.
There is a place to send the phone. Ive see great reviews.
mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-infuse-4g-power-button-repair/
Seems like there has been a string of power button malfunctions going around lately. There are a few threads going on where people have had this issue. Sometimes its just the terminals needing to be cleaned or dust blown out.
Hello! Last night, my phone died while I was out. When I got home, I plugged it into the wall charger and I noticed the LED didn't come on. I left it charging overnight for about 6 hours and tried to turn it on - no luck. I read on another topic that you needed to charge it to ~2% through USB for it to begin charging on the wall if it's "too" dead, so I left it on my laptop for an hour but again with no luck. I did notice that my laptop couldn't recognize a device though, and since my phone was the only thing plugged in, it means my phone was 'on'. I held the power button and the device disconnected, held the power button again, the unknown device reconnected. So my phone is turning on and off, so I wondered it was my screen. I turned it on, but no sounds worked when I messed with the volume button, so I'm going to rule the screen out. Despite being able to turn 'on', I can't get into recovery and it won't truly turn on.
I'm rooted and unlocked, running a version of PA, though I haven't updated it in some months and haven't downloaded anything other than a picture or two to my phone recently, so I don't think I've bricked it or anything.
I've never used ADB or fastboot or anything like that, so if there's a solution through that I'd be happy to try it out. If there's anything I forgot to mention, please tell me!
Thanks in advance for any help I can get.
This has happened to some people. It seems like going completely dead can somehow corrupt something in the firmware in rare cases.
Open Device Manager and plug in your phone, then see what pops up. If you see QHUSB_DLOAD, your phone has bricked, but it may be fixable. Check into the Unbricking Evita thread and see if the guys there can help.
Failing that, get a warranty exchange.
Try different button combinations (hold power, or hboot combination) while the phone is plugged into the wall charger. At least one person I was trying to help, got his phone to power on this way, when nothing else seemed to work.
Sounds like you're phone is in qdl mode. i second trying the unbricking thread.
Howdy!
My phone doesn't work anymore, and I try to assess what's going on. I searched before posting, and I decided to post here because I found mixed answers.
Context:
I bought my phone in January 2014. I took extra care of it, it has never fallen on the ground from high, no scratch, nothing. Regarding the battery, I tried as much as possible to charge when it was close to 0%, I wasn't a heavy user of my phone, and I was turning off a lot of things so that the battery would not deplete quickly (Wifi, localisation, Bluetooth, auto-typing, et cetera...).
However, recently (the last month), I was feeling the battery was weak, depleting more quickly than before. I also felt the phone was warmer than usual. Sometimes the phone would turn off suddenly when I was short on battery (under 15%) and using a "heavy" feature (photography with flash, video game).
A week ago, the phone suddenly turned off, never to turn on again. The phone died. I was just typing a message, the phone was charging and the battery was around 60%. I was surprised.
As of today, the phone doesn't turn on. Plugged on a wall outlet or on the USB port of my computer is the same.
I tried many combination of buttons to fastboot, reboot, reset, or whatever, nothing sparked any life in my phone. (I tried holding power key for 30s+, 15s+ ; I tried holding power key + volume up for 15s+ ; power key + volume down ; power key both volume ; in fact whatever combination I could read here on XDA forums, on Reddit, on Google Forums...).
My first insight was: it's just the battery. I can buy one off the internet, and voilà!
However, when I plug the Nexus 5 on my computer via USB, the computer reacts with the sounds when you connect something. Is it just the battery then?
At first, it was saying: "QHS_USB BULK", and the computer was trying to install whatever to make that peripheral work.
When it was done, it read "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4) has been correctly installed.
Hum, okay.
Still, nothing shows in the peripheral.
I continue to hear the plug in plug out sound when I... plug in and out my phone in the computer, but that's the only thing.
With all that, I can't really tell if all the phone is dead, something grilled inside or I don't know what; or if it's just the battery that is dead and the phone is unreachable and unrecognizable when "there is no battery" in it.
I'm not sure if I shall invest money into buying a new battery.
Do you guys can light my lantern on that matter?
I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Cheerio!
If I may just address a little bump on this very subject of particular interest to myself :3
Cheerio!
Any insights on this? mine´s doing the same. Doesn´t turn on or go into bootloader, when i connect to charge it red light blinks for like 10 sec and then goes off. Nothing happens after hours of charge.
Did you try replacing the battery as you mention on the post?
Sorry, but have to say this with caps: BLINKING RED NOTIFICATION LED MEANS ITS DEAD BATTERY. Can't be 100% sure, but usually it means that the phone doesn't have enough power to boot up. Mine did this when it drained to the absolute 0%
edit: There can be other problems with power going to phone, but if you are lucky its just the battery.
So i changed the battery. When i plugged it to charge no red lights came on, just the typical white battery with the light bolt appeared for a few seconds, after that it went on with screen off (or at least i thought it did). After 3 h of uninterrupted power charge i went to turn it on. Nothing happened. Can´t turn it on or go into bootloader.
Nothing happens on my pc when i plug it. No sound and nothing on Device manager (no drivers for nexus 5 installed, don´t know if that matters for windows to recognize it as any device even if its not as android device).
Edit: yeah, i got enlightened and literally unplugged the battery and plugged it back in and it worked like charm. I get stuck on the intro animation but i can get into bootloader and recovery just fine. Just gonna install those drivers and flash something. right? Thanks to everyone that read and even more to those who replied!

Yeah, search from youtube how to flash factory image nexus 5. It should make it work. And try to find video with using adb instead of toolkit, adb is way more stable/trustable. (ADB is the android debug bridge, it may look like very hard and confusing but in the end its just typing 1 command and it flashes everything needed) If you need help in flashing the image, just ask!
Try this, it installs only tools needed for adb (also drivers) http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tool-platform-tools-adb-fasbootdrivers-t3061441

I've had this phone 3 years and it worked well. It's an unlocked ATT phone so no OTA updates other than the standard app updates. It's on Lollipop 5.1. Been working perfectly fine until yesterday, I was watching the CBS app, when the phone rebooted. Now it's stuck on a boot loop and initally went to optimizing apps which it rarely finishes but the times it does, the phone just powers off. It then got into another loop later last night where it'd get to the Kyocera logo then reboot over and over. I let it do that until the battery died 2.5 hours later. Then I kept attempting to boot until the batter was entirely drained to the point it wouldn't attempt to power up any more.(battery is not removable on this model). I've now charged it up, trying to enter recovery mode with power+volume down. That doesn't seem to register. Tried volume up+volume down+power with no effect. Now after charging, it will do the reboot loop mentioned earlier to the Kyocera logo. If I plug it into a charger, it will go to the optimizing apps portion and repeat the above. At the optimizing apps screen, if I unplug the charger, the phone powers off immediately. It appears to be holding a charge according to the charge indicator and the fact that I can try to boot over and over unplugged. Any suggestions? Phone wasn't dropped or damaged in anyway. Very weird what could have happened.
An update: Phone finally got past the "optimizing app" phase last night sitting on the charger. Out of no where the phone booted completely. However, it only works while plugged in. If I remove the charging cord, the phone shuts down after about 2 seconds. Booting without charging cord results in the same boot loop. I've considered the battery has failed however when plugging in the charger, battery shows 100% and it will decrease appropriately over time. I'm thinking there must be a hardware issues at this point. Somewhwere in the charging/power circuit. Any other suggestions?
Last update I guess. I was able to keep the phone up and booted as long as it was plugged into a wall charger. PC USB was not enough. I managed to grab my photos etc. thankfully. Factory reset the phone from the settings menu. Unplugged from charger, ran for about 2 minutes. Still said 99% charged, then went into boot loop again. Phone still shows near full charge if you let it run for awhile and decrements the charge state appropriately as time goes on. However, i guess this 3 year old phone is toast. No known reason for it to fail unfortunately. Thought I'd share the experience if anyone else has this issue.

I have the same exact problem. It started the crazy booting process in my pocket, and I did all the same things you did. Factory reset didn't correct the problem, so I'm think the battery has had a stroke. Sine your problem and my problem are very close to the same time frame, our phones are also probably about the same age, and its a quality control issue. Not bad quality control, just that these batteries were designed to last X number of months or cycles, and probably they died. Too bad, because my E6560 is the very best cell phone I have ever owned. Built like a tank and thank God for that.
