Hello there xda guys,
I got this galaxy grand 2 in my drawers for about 6 months, and decided to re-try everything up.
Issue:Updated to kitkat firmware, installed everything, battery was about 75%, it let me swipe few times on my homescreen, and boom random restarts.
Random restards occure everywhere, such as:Recovery, download mode and normal booting. As it means, i cant reflash the software, nor i can hard/soft reset the device or even normally recharge the battery.
It is a very strange bootloop.
I also mention, this device hasn't been dropped, gotten wet or any moisture things between or on it.
Any tips how to fix it ?
Up!

Ok, so i got CM7 on by vibrant last year, and its been great. I havent had any complaints or problems until today.
Today I was randomly gonna do something on my phone but i noticed it was on the start-up screen(the one with the android on the skateboard with the arrow around) the arrow wasnt turning. I thought I might have touched it in my pocket and it was just restarting. I waited about 2 minutes and the screen didnt change. So I decided to pull the battery and restart it.
After I restarted it, it got stuck on the same screen again, but this time the arrow was animated. and it is just stuck there. the arrow moves but nothing else happens. I have tried restarting several times after that and it is the same result every time.
I have no idea what happened or why it happened because I havent messed with anything on the rom in months. and yes i have restarted in between. can someone help me? any suggestions what i can do?
my theory is that CM was updating on its own or something and when i pulled the battery it hadn't finished yet. but I dont even know if that happens.
so any advice would be helpful or im going to have to completely wipe and reinstall again.
thanks
hello
try to wipe everything, if it doesnt work, install the rom again
May be ... its better to wipe only cash at start. And if it won't help then wipe everything.

Hi
I have a problem with my Galaxy S2 where it's in a constant reboot loop and the only way to stop it is by taking the battery out.
I'm sure that if I do a factory reset it'll go back to normal.
The problem is, I can't back anything up because as soon as the phone boots up it restarts.
Is there ANY other way to back up my photos and videos etc?
I have NOT rooted the phone
Cannot find any solutions online
I'm currently having this problem too. A couple of days ago it kept rebooting in a loop. I took the battery out and left it for a while, then let it charge. It seemed okay afterwards. Now today it keeps rebooting, and the past couple of days it has refused to charge the battery because apparently the battery was "too hot or too cold" (don't quote me on that) so I'm very confused. Just now though the battery was about half-charged and it still went into the reboot loop.
Something else you should know is that like the OP it has the stock OS on. It isn't rooted or modified. I don't want to factory reset it because I have spent so much time customising it (with apps) and it would be a pain in the ass if the problem still existed afterwards. One thing I must ask the OP is, did you recently get a 64GB MicroSDXC card for your S2? I ask this because I did a couple of weeks ago and it's been working fantastically and was said to work fine with the S2, but I'd like to explore any possible reason this reboot loop is happening.
Thanks.
Edit: To confirm I deleted the cache and this didn't help. I don't want to hard reset...
I've just done a factory reset - I hadn't realised that it only affects my apps and not my files.
The phone is ok now.
Okay, so, I know I am not the only one with this issue. At the same time I know not ALOT of people have this issue. Lets get right down to it, I bought a Note I717 from someone who claimed that it was stuck in a bootloop. Well, I turned it one when I got home after doing a factory restore and it came on and stayed on. I thought I had fixed it until the battery died.
Symptoms:
Boots up fine
Stays on for around 2 minutes
Freeze then Reboot
Happens every time. I have tried to restore stock firmware, have tried custom roms. Have rooted it, unrooted it. Battery holds a charge and is perfectly fine. Power button is NOT stuck.
There have been 2 times I have got it to come on and stay on for like 12 hrs then it will freeze and cut off, then start the rebooting sequence all over again. Anybody think they can help me out?

whn i had a similar issue, the answer turned out to be that i was overclocking. if you are overclocking/undervolting it can cause random reboots.
Hey guys
My device is GS6, few days ago received OTA update. Updated phone like usual and all went fine. Few days later started noticing that device randomly restarting. Today it happened 4 or 5 times so far, mainly when I want to unlock screen, after swipe everything freezes and device restarts.
Also when I left phone on charge, come back to it, unplugged charger and phone is dead, won't start won't respond to anything. After pressing volume key power and home button, I managed to restart it.
What is happening to my phone. Really don't want hard reset it as all settings etc will be gone.

Try a factory reset, maybe same app is the problem.
Done full reset and its much worse now. It woudnt boot correctly after reset, phone started up but during set up process froze and restarted a lot of times. Looks like hardware, but strange it happened straight after ota update
Hi, i am using [ROM][N][NOTE 8 UX][BUILD 3.0][GENISYS XPERIENCE][J700F/H/M] build 3.0
today i woke up to see my phone freezing at the home screen, it restarted and when the home screen appeared i could do like 2 moves then it freezed and restarted, kept doing it alot, i could stop it by pulling the battery off. i tried to use the phone without a battery (charger only) and the same happened.
One time i could use the phone for like 2 minutes without restarting or freezing then it happened, thought it was battery problem cuz usually when the battery is 40% the phone restarts and the battery becomes empty in like 2 minutes (happened months ago, i flashed the rom since 7 months ago).
when i open twrp the phone works fine there so i thought it was software problem, i wiped everything then installed a clean version of the same rom and the problem disappeared, i also think the battery doesn't turn off at 40% now but it's like a new one, can anyone please tell me what the hell happened !? i want to know what was my enemy which wasted hours of my precious time!!! and i want to avoid that in the future, notic that if i restore backup i did before wiping everything, restoring the system alone works, if i restore the data the same problem happens so it's data problem.
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
please help me, i did a full wipe when the problem happened to me 2 weeks ago and installed the same rom and everything went good, and now after 2 weeks the same damn problem happened!! i can't do this anymore it takes too much time pls help
