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.
hey guys i own my galaxy sl since the day it was started to sold here, in Turkey. and i never had any issues with any rom i used. i'm not really sure but i guess everything began when i started to use LF2 with BAM kernel. i just did what i always did, flashed XXKPE, and after that flashed LF2. and everything goes well. but when the phone starts and asks for my pin code - whopp - it suddenly reboots itself. i always thought that this is normal since it happened a lot to me.
but i realized that it wasn't just an ordinary reboot. after the reboot the phone starts just normally. everything seems to be working. i just download the apps i need from google play and - whooppp - again, the screen goes off. but this time it doesn't even reboot. just got a blank screen. and after a few seconds the phone shuts itself totally off. after pushing the power button it opens but after the shining Samsung logo it just shuts itself off again.
And another issue,
while using mobile data the first 30 seconds are normal. i just open my web browser, search for something and suddenly the data transfer stops and the web page is not opening anymore. after a few 30 seconds my signal gets lost. and again after a few seconds more the phone shuts itself off again.
you can't even imagine how annoying this is. i'm not able to do anything with my phone. and i don't want to buy a new phone until summer. i experienced this issues always on clean roms. i always used the pit file and always made careful flashings. and like i said i haven't had any issues since the beginning of last week. just wanted to know if anyone has some suggestions or anyone else is facing the same problems. thanks in advance that read all this stuff, even if you're not able to help me...
try flashing the previous rom which was working perfectly on ur sl.if u have a backup try restoring it.
thanks for your reply but like i said nothing has worked. anyways i the samsung customer service solved my problem. my battery was very very thick. i could say it was ready to blast. in my opinion i think the battery was having some disconnections with the phone or it was just totally damaged. but it doesn't matter anymore. the service just replaced the old damaged one with a new one. and now it's rock solid again.
My Nexus 5 is in a Continous bootloop, i literally cant do anything, it tries to boot and gets to the animation screen and then keeps repeating i tried going to recovery to restore a backup but it will go to the bootloader screen for a few seconds before deciding to try and bootup again and failing, sooo annoying. And the thing is I didnt even do anything to it, i was literally using it a few minutes ago to watch a youtube video, then this happened out of nowhere... Anyone have a clue?? This thing is supposed to last me atleast 2 years, no idea how infuriating this is!

since you have rooted i assume you can return to stock configuration!
Help is at hand...literally
This is pretty crazy, I just came on XDA to post about this as it happened to me this morning and I saw this thread so figured you might be having the same problem. My phone went from working fine one second to an unbreakable bootloop the next, I couldn't get into recovery or anything because it would only flash on that screen for a second before rebooting again. In the end I took to frustration, I waited for the phone to reboot and then hit the power button side against my hand (without touching the power button) before it could reboot again and it finished booting into android! I think it must be a hardware problem in which the power button gets stuck down. It seems to have fixed the problem for now at least and I can use my power button properly.
Hope this helps!
This is my story that happened with my LG G2
I recently purchased a LG G2 F320L, a refurbished one, from aliexpress(I think this was the biggest mistake of all)
I got the phone, I started using it, used it for 20 minutes and just installed antutu benchmark and ran the app and started the benchmark.
Firstly, I'd like to mention that the phone just got warm, just like other phones, during the test. While the multicore performance test was going on, the phone turned off, all of a sudden (Battery was as low as 9% when I started antutu benchmark). I thought that, it was because the battery was too low to run a benchmark app and turned on the phone back and waited, it just showed me the LG logo for 5 seconds, powered off, ended up with a bootloop. :crying:
I thought that the OS or the bootloader got corrupted and stuck and also thought that I could easily fix it by flashing boot.img or the original .kdz using LG flashtool.
I connected the phone to the PC, it was charging from 9% (That means, low battery isn't the reason for this problem). I waited until it charged till 25% and tried turning the phone on again, but, the same bootloop happened again. I downloaded the .kdz file for my exact model and prepared to flash it using LG flash tool. Unfortunately, the phone came out of download mode (Whilst the flashing was going on) and started with the bootloop again. I really got scared cause the flashing was interrupted indefinitely. I didn't know what to do and I just googled how to enter factory reset mode and I finally entered factory reset mode and chose to reset the phone completely. But, it has happened for a while and continued with the same kind of beat-up (But I was able to enter the factory reset mode later on, though) I was pretty much scared at this time and I gave the phone to one of my friends. I showed him the factory reset mode that was still working, but not useful, and I tried resetting 3 to 4 times but couldn't come out of the bootloop. But, suddenly I couldn't enter factory reset mode and the bootloop became pretty much faster that before (Just showed me the LG logo for 3 seconds and rebooted with the same bootloop). Now, no factory reset mode, download mode, and no charging either.
I got to know that it was a really serious hard brick that has ever happened to one's phone!
I handed over the phone to another one of my friends and he dismantled the phone and tried something, then connected to the computer and the computer detected the phone and QHUSB mode was saying 'Searching Windows update' with a loading symbol. He just stopped it there and told me to take it to a good service center (An expert, of course), and he also told me that I was supposed to ask him, to make the QHUSB mode work.
But, after he gave me the phone back, the bootloop was still happening, just like before, but, instead of LG logo, it was showing some bluish white lines on the 2/4 on the screen.
I haven't got time to go to a service center till date, as they might cost me more than I invested on my phone.
This is really serious problem and I need to enter the QHUSB mode and I need to flash the stock firmware cleanly. Please anyone give some time to read this thread and help me out in this situation. AGAIN, I have used the phone for like, just 20 minutes when it was in a working condition.
So, I request any experts to help me out, suggest me the solutions.
Sorry for my bad English, though.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Try looking here:

and maybe posting your question in there
Good luck!
Was wondering if anyone has run into this problem?
The phone was fine, rooted and everything, for a month give or take. Then all of a sudden, today, it started acting weird.
It was fine in the morning and everything, was able to use wifi, check emails, and stuff.
Then BAM, I tried to make a call, it didn't go through for the first 20 seconds or so. Then connected and a message kept popping up saying Phone is stopped or something during and after the call.
So, I restarted the phone. It restarted fine and everything, got past the 2 Samsung screens. Then hit the T-Mobile screen. and has been stuck on the T-Mobile screen for ~30 minutes now and just keeps vibrating.
It's getting quite hot, both front and back.
Any advice? Stupid Samsung making this a closed system so can't pull out the battery.
Can't even turn the phone off, only able to get to Download screen.
Weird problem.
Is there any way to pull the data and stuff off the phone at this point?
I'm thinking of going the factory reset route and do that to see what happens and see if it will fix the problem. It would probably not retain root am I correct and I would have to re-root again?
I could get into download mode and recovery fine.
You're just in a bootloop. Try holding down power and home.
Sent from my Samsung SM-G930T using XDA Labs
That happened to me like clockwork until I found these fixes here. "Everything has stopped" and then wouldn't not from a restart.

I refreshed probably 4 times thinking something was wrong with my phone until I flashed those fix zips in that thread. Solid ever since.
