So I'm running Sultan's CM 13 rom and my phone just randomly turned off while I was using it (on charge), and when it rebooted, it said that it was optimizing apps. I decided to leave the phone on charge and do something else, and when I come back, it restarts again and does the optimizing apps thing again. I can't even boot into safe mode either, if you were going to tell me to. I've tried wiping the Dalvik-Cache and Cache from TWRP, but nothing's happened.
Should I just factory reset my phone at this point?
Just try to clean flash Sultan CM13.

My infuse is rooted with zues. A few weeks ago, it was stuck on the samsung boot logo and it keeps looping. I wiped data and cache and installed zues again and it was fixed. Last night, this happened... so my phone turns on for 2 minutes max, then turns off and starts the loop. I can only keep on for 2 minutes before it starts looping again. by saying keeping it on for 2 minutes, i mean everything works! talk, text, games, ect...
so i turned it off, went to clockwork or root menu, whatever you guys call it, and i wiped data and cache. Whats weird is that even on boot menu or clockwork, it still wont stay on, it keeps turning off and turns on and loops!
i installed zues again, still turns off and loops
next step? is my phone dead?
Did you have any undervolt settings applied?
The phone is not underclocked, it is not overclocked. It was rooted, I unrooted it. its currently unrooted absolutely factory stock and still doing that. What can I do to fix this?
warranty is over as of 3 months ago
Forgot to mention the most important thing!!!
When I am on the phone with someone, it works perfectly forever, as soon as i hang up, it ends the call. this key thing might help someone find the solution!!

Don't panic just yet... I doubt your phone is dead.
You say you've "wiped data and cache". Are you also making sure to wipe /system and Dalvik Cache?
Try flashing Zeus again.
Boot to CWM, Wipe EVERYTHING (/data, /cache, /system, Dalvik Cache). (Alternatively, get "Clean Wipe" from Qkster's Scripts and flash with CWM to easily wipe everything.)
Flash Zeus and go.
If you're still having problems, perhaps try a different rom?
okay, I read everything you guys wrote.. This is where I am, I am open to suggestions
I am on the stock rom and unrooted. Phone still boot loops. What should I do now? Step by step instructions would be great. Im unrooted, so should i root again? even though im having this problem?
bump! really need help with this guys!
Have you tried going back to stock?
If it keeps looping while on download mode then I would say you are dealing with a hardware issue.

It just came to me that it doesn't loop in download mode. It does loop in clockwork, I flashed the stock kernel using ODIN and went completely stock through ODIN.
How do i fix this? i'm pissed that i had it for a year and three months and right after the warranty ended, the phone stopped working! Samsung never again unless this issue is fixed
I'm a newbie to flashing, so take it with a grain of salt. At least two more things seem worth trying to me:
1 - Try factory data reset (assuming you already tried the wipe Davlick and wipe cache). I'm not positive what this does, but I think you may lose some of your data if it's not backed up.
2 - If that doesn't work, try qkster's Heimdall UCLB3 stock (since you can get into download mode...shouldn't be a problem). This is complete back to stock so should be able to clear any software problem I'd think. I know you may think it's redundant since you are already back to stock, but worth trying imo since some things just take more than one try, and you may have had a bad flash the first time around.
Why zeus? try latest ones with jelly bean
Hey,
Try other roms based out of jelly bean. They are pretty stable. CM10 with 09/14 build is the latest
Here are the standard steps if you have CWM enabled.
1. Factory re-set (only when switching between different roms).
2. Cache partition wipe
3. Dalvik Cache wipe
4. Install the zip file
5. Re-start and wait until it re-starts. Initially it will take some time.
I have tried various roms and versions as well. Best would be the CM10 Jelly bean.
Thanks Kran.
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.
After flashing stock rom
Go to recovery (stock of course)
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Reboot

Hey! About two weeks ago I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S 4G and installed "Valhalla Final" Gingerbread 2.3.6. Everything has been great until today :crying:... I was talking on the phone and the battery went dead, I got home and charged it then tried to turn it back on. When I did it started to boot up and then got stuck on the "Team Kang" unicorn animation. I'm a noob and not sure what to do? I have tried removing the battery, etc. and still same result. HELP!! What should I do?? Thanks in advance...
Try doing a factory reset in recovery.
To get to recovery:
pull out your phone's battery
put the battery back in
hold BOTH volume keys and do NOT let go of them
Press the power button long enough for the phone to turn on
Once you are in recovery you can let go of the volume keys
What I ended up doing was going to recovery mode, wiping the cache and then flashed the same rom again.. Question is what would have made it do this to begin with? Is there a problem with this rom that im not aware of? After I did the above it now works fine other than having to go through and redo apps, etc..

There is no problem with the rom, if you wipe cache before upgrading. I usually wipe dalvik as well. Wipe factory if you are coming from a different rom.
I do the previous three for each rom I use, on any phone I own. I don't always trust that the developer wrote in the updater-script to attempt to wipe cache & dalvik when flashing.
Hi there!
After about a week ago, I’ve turned off my Note 3. Then two days later, when I wanted to use it, I’ve turned it on. After CM logo appears, its says:
“Android is starting
Optimizing x apps of x”
I know this is because of ART, but after it finishes, my phone reboots, and CM logo appears again, and nothing happens. After a while, it starts optimizing apps again. Now I left it for 2 hours, my phone didnt boot up.
What should I do? I didnt flash any new kernel, rom, recovery or anything else. Im on CyanogenMod, with CWM recovery. I dont want to factory reset, because of my photos and videos.
Even I tried to start in safe mode, but I couldnt get to it, and Im not really sure that I tried to enter safe mode properly.
Please help!
Just dirty flash the rom again through cwm.
See if it works
It's high time you flashed TWRP already.

Ahh I would suggest you to get TWRP, The world has moved on and I think you should too! It's just a little better at things overall. TWRP can be flashed through ODIN. As for the Bootloop, try dirty flashing the ROM. Just wipe the dalvik/ART and cache and leave the rest as it is.

What do you mean on “dirty flashing”? Do I lose my data if I flash my rom again?

No you don't, dirty flashing = installing the same ROM without wiping or resetting any data sets, just reflashing that zip again, JIC some files got corrupted, if that doesn't help you might have to give it a fresh start.
I need help. After rooting the device and after several days of using it, and saw that Wipe cache partition can clean up stuff and increase battery life and performance. So I went ahead, connected my phone using a USB-C cable to PC, hold the UP button while booting, and selected Wipe cache partition. Booted it up again, and it was running fine but the phone has starting for almost like after every minute it hangs, and goes back to the Samsung logo, and the cycle repeats. I was only able to escape via booting in Safe Mode.
Any advice what to do to prevent the boot loop? Is there any way to know which or what makes the phone hang?

Not sure why that would do that.. But it seems like the only solution now would do a complete factory reset and start over.
Thank you for the reply. For some reason, the phone just decided to fix itself. What I did was just let it be in Safe Mode for several hours, went back to Normal mode, and somehow it stopped hanging.
