First try flashing factory images and if it doesn't solve the problem then
It's probably the hardware fault .. Also happened to one of my friend's galaxy s2 , always stuck on wifi turning on and then grayed out . get it replaced from google

Re flash stock ROM.

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..!!

my phone keeps restarting!

hi,
i am not rooted with stock(one s), and all of a sudden my phone stuck and started restarting itself over and over again.
what should i do ?
i can access the special screen when holding the volume button, but i dont know what to do there.
can someone help me please?
Boot into your recovery and recover an old image or wipe ROM and reinstall. The Boot.img from the previous ROM you were using was probably messed up and this should probably resolve your issue.
Dude he has not rooted how will he recover an old image and flash new ROMs??
Go into bootloader(the special screen u mentioned above) and do a factory reset from there...

i have a crazy problem!
i made already 3-4 factory reset, and after the reset, everything works perfectly until i try do activate or de-activate the wifi. when i click "on" the phone crashes again and goes into restart loop, and in order to stop it i need to do factory reset.
I don't know what to do!!
Now,go into fastboot and flash the kernel(boot.img) and then do a factory reset...this should work...

actually, i just find how to fix this problem.
(i don't know how to flash kernel or stuff like that cause i never did it.)
though i searched the internet and read about the same problem that someone had, and the fix is to cancel the "sync internet" for the google account in "settings -> Accounts and Sync -> Google -> uncheck Sync Internet"
than i can turn on\off WiFi how much i want with no boot loop.
the bad thing is that i needed to do like 4 factory resets until i got it.i think that if it happen that it is possible to clear somehow the storage data via the boot loader and re-configure the google account and imminently uncheck the "sync internet" check-box. and in this case a factory reset is not needed. but it's too late for me
this is the link where i find the solution:

does any one know what this "sync Internet" does in the google account? i
Thanks,

[Q] Xperia U Stuck on "Xperia" screen

Hello
My non-rooted Xperia U (updated to ICS), was giving me problems being very slow and hanging out at moments. So in frustration I went right into the settings for factory reset with internal storage erase option checked (without any back up). The phone was wiped and started working again with the first few 7-step settings it asks. After that I restarted the phone again re thinking to boot it for customization, but the phone does'nt go ahead of the xperia screen. It restarts again n again to that screen. Any help is much appreciated.
P.S- Plz dont ridicule if I'm unable to understand the problem because this is my first time trying to fix cellular problems. Thank you
Hope to find some helpful answers.

Try flashing factory images and don't install anything. If it still happens, RMA.

Factory reset as in the option in Settings or flashing the .img files in fastboot while in bootloader?
If you bought from the Play Store, RMA is when you claim your warranty and Google sends you a replacement.
If you didn't buy from the Play Store, then you have to send it to LG for repair.

Won't be a stock kernel issue. It's most likely an issue with your device.

It has to do with the phone because the WiFI antenna and other hardware is in the phone?

[Q] Wifi blocked and bootloop

Hello,
I have a problem with my nexus 5 on Terminus ROM, TWRP and blue kernel. My wifi stays blocked "activation du wifi en cours" (maybe in english : "activating wifi").
I have recently installed wifikill app. But I don't think this is a problem. Because I have removed this app. And no result. Then :
Reboot the phone -> wifi stay blocked
Full wipe and reinstall Terminus rom -> wifi stay blocked
So, another problem occurred at the same time, when the phone locks or I lock it manually, it restarts.
Have you some idea for resolve the problem ?

Wipe and flash factory images, DON'T INSTALL ANYTHING and see if it still happens.
If it does, then it's a hardware issue.
If not, then try the same but with Terminus instead of the factory images.
I have just try in flash the factory image, and the wifi still works not :/
It's sure that is an hardware issue ?

If you've flashed factory images and done nothing else right after and it doesn't work, then most likely.
Ok thanks you, i have finaly called google, and he send me a new nexus 5 but in 32 go "Refurbished" (mine was a 16go)
I am a little afraid of this mention "Refurbished". Wait and see...
