Bootlooped after factory reset - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi im really panicking here my phone has been rooted for days but for some reason whenever i pressed battery in the menu it would shut down settings and report an error so i just did a factory reset using stock bootloads (not twrp or anything) and now it gets to installing apps like kind, resets and repeats. i have tried clearing cache and all that.

Partial Factory Resets?

So the past 2 days I've had an interesting problem, with even more interesting results.
Both mornings I've tried to use my GPS and it just hangs on trying to connect to it. The GPS says it's on, and I can toggle it off and back on again but it never finds any sats.
Yesterday I reboot the phone and it takes a while to boot the phone back up (most like the first time you boot after a fresh install), and when the phone came back online the GPS worked but all my bluetooth pairings were gone.
Today I have the same GPS problem so I reboot again, and again it takes a while to boot and so far I still have my bluetooth pairings, but I've been unable to connect to the devices, all my sound settings are back to the defaults, when I hold down the power button now the only option I have is Power Off, nothing else, when my screen times out and I hit power to bring it back on it goes right back to wherever I was, I don't see the lock screen anymore. And to top it all off my home button and my search button do not work.
What a mess, this phone is getting worse by the day, I'm actually starting to regret the purchase. I guess it's time to call it in and see what they say.
Edit: Forgot to add all my SMS messages were deleted as well.
Rooted? Have you done anything to it? That's definitely not normal but I guess you know that
Ya it's rooted and has nvflashed clockworkmod recovery installed. Rooted the day I got the phone and clockworkmod recovery has been installed for about a week.
I just tried clearing the cache partition, wiping Dalvik Cache, fixing permissions, and no change. Running a full backup via Titanium Backup now before I try a factory reset to see if that fixes it.
If that doesn't do it I'll try restoring a backup image from last week.

I would guess it's not the phone but the CWM made the mess. You probably want to try factory reset.
My Bluetooth settings and profiles randomly appear and disappear and I'm bone stock.
Well, factory reset got all my buttons working again, and my screen locks again. Since I'm back to stock now and have to re-setup everything now I think I'll go try out the Eaglesblood ROM and see how that goes.

[Q] random bootloop with factory reset

Hi
I was earlier on XXKP3 (im from India) and my phone was working fine. Last week I flashed DXKP9 and it worked fine for about 3-4 days. After that i rooted/de-odexed DXKP9 and all went through. BUT, I began getting some random restarts, some bootloops which required me to pull the battery and reboot. When the phone booted up, it was factory resetted - all settings gone including APN, etc but all installed apps were there and working. So then i went into recovery and did a wipe cache/factory reset and thought it would do it. But since then everyday i had a bootloop (no more factory resets).
SO i got tired of it and 2 days ago, RE-FLASHED to XXKPE, then flashed XXKPQ on it, immediately did a wipe cache/factory reset and (painfully) reinstalled all apps. I did not root/de-odex XXKPQ and do not plan to root my phone anymore. But since today morning, the random bootloop and factory reset has begun again and is driving me crazy. Once the phone boots, all apps are still there, camera wifi 3g push notifications all work fine.
But why the random bootloop? and why the factory reset every time? i can live with the random restart but not with the factory reset thing.
any solution? thanks

[Q] Factory Reset Did Not Wipe Anyhing

I'm trying to remove apps that's on this phone (GT-S7500) because some of the apps always force close and not working. Firstly, I tried uninstall the apps one by one, all went good until I rebooted the device, all of the apps are back again. Second, went to privacy>erase everything including SD card content, device rebooted and went straight to recovery. It was weird because normally it will reboot itself straight to home screen. So I select the option factory reset/wipe data, after that wipe cache partition and reboot. Device does not reboot but turned off completely (weird again) Turned it back on, and only saw that none of the apps were removed. Even the wallpaper are still the same. Next thing I do is manually boot into recovery menu and factory reset again, still the same thing, (device turned off without rebooting itself, turned it back on and everything was still the same) after few tries again, I finally decided to flash a stock rom with ODIN. Flashing was successful ODIN shows PASS, waiting device reboot but it shut off completely again. turned it back on, but nothing changes. wallpaper are still the same and every single downloaded apps were still there. Went to settings> about device only to found that it wasn't the same rom that I've flashed earlier using ODIN.(flashed 2-3 times again, results still the same) Very confused right now, suspected that the internal SD card was corrupted/damaged. Does anyone experiencing such thing on your galaxy ace plus? searched on xda forums and found that this issue was also happening on few other devices. This is not my phone, just helping a customer. Thank You.

Stuck in the bootloop :(

I noticed One+ was a bit slow so I decided first to switch from power save to balanced and it was still going slow so I decided to do a reboot. After the reboot the phone got stuck at the boot animation. I can get into recovery tried a factory reset didnt help. Im wondering if i try flashing the OS if that would work. Plus what would be the best way to do so.
What ROM, Kernel are you using?
Switching from Power Save to Balanced shouldn't cause your phone to be stuck in a boot loop. Something else caused it.
Everything is stock, it was really weird I was considering maybe using adb to flash a stock img (although i have little experience doing that). I tried rebooting again to potentially start this process (this is after a good 5 or 6 reboots and a factory reset) and it started up to the welcome screen. Another side issue it seems like the factory resets for this device only wipe the apps + user data. I know if I was rooted i wouldnt expect the media to be wiped but its stock with the stock rom. I bought it off ebay and when i went to load my stuff i did a factory reset and noticed the previous owners data including call/text logs and contacts were all on the device

If you were to flash a stock image, it would be done in fastboot mode and not adb mode. So is your phone booting yet?
You can always adb sideload a custom ROM and flash that to get your phone to a bootable state again.
The phone booted up after a good 3 hours a factory reset and multiple reboots

Can I fix unfortunately com.Android.phone stopped working without reset

I have an Galaxy S6 on Verizon that I just bought a week ago. I rooted it and it's on 5.0.2. I started removing bloatware with titanium backup and everything was fine. 5 days after I did this I started to get the error " unfortunately com.Android.phone stopped working". It keeps popping up continuously and makes it hard to do anything on the phone. It happens even after a restart.
I tried clearing the cash in recovery mode. I tried going into settings, app manager, phone and clearing data and cache. I tried clearing contacts.
I am trying to avoid resetting the phone to factory since I just finished debloating it and I actually got the battery to last a full day where as when I first got the phone and it was stock, it had a horrible battery life. Is there anyway to solve this? I have looked all over the internet and only found the solutions above which don't work.
If resetting is the only way do i do a reset through setting backup and restore or do I reset from restore mode?
Go into recovery and wipe cache
