Yesterday I put my phone to charge over night and when I woke up today's morning I was met with a Black Screen with a status bar and Software Back button, that doesn't do anything. Rebooting in recovery doesn't work (TWRP just stuck on loading screen). I can receive notifications, but can't interact with them. I can Turn on and off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS etc. through status bar. I can't open Settings or any App. I can't reboot with out removing battery, can't hard reset and if I power off phone from Power menu it won't start again, when I hold down Power button, unless I remove battery.
Some Details about phone:
LG Max x155
Android 5.0.2
Custom AOSP (installed long time ago, never faced this problem)
TWRP 3.0.3.
I searched internet and tried some things:
Rebooting (didn't work at all)
Hard Reseting (didn't work at all)
Removing Battery putting it back and then powering on (didn't help)
Entering Safe mode (didn't help, it shows same issue, though it briefly shows my Home screen before going black)
Doing anything with Recovery, like wiping, reinstalling ROM etc. doesn't work, because TWRP won't load
Some other details:
I am using different charger (but I have used it for several days already). Phone was overcharged over night.
Now I am trying to drain the battery to zero and then charging it again, using my old charger. If it won't help I don't know what can be done.

Do a google search for:
"Return to stock (your model number)"
Then reinstall TWRP, then flash your 5.0ROM and Gapps. Don't forget to factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache when you flash the ROM.

I figured it out. My SD Card burnt and caused this issue. I removed it and the phone's fine.

What ROM are you using?
If you want to manually shut down the tablet, press power and volume up while plugged into a power source. It shouldn't power back on.

I am experiencing the same problem with reboot. I updated Tab 2 (PS5113) to 4.2.2 rom through the automatic update via WIFI (on Aug 30,2013). When you turn off normally, the screen shuts down (glows for about 15 sec before full black) then turns back on. Generally the second time I turn it off (in a row) it will turn fully off. I have tried turning off with or w/o connection to WIFI, and tried turning off all programs through applications manager (as well as clearing ram) first. One suggestion was to clear cache partition (hold down power on and volume down button) but this resulted in a quick error message (android logo lying down with X through it), so I am not sure that the cache was cleared. Since I never tried to clear cache before upgrade, I don't know if it is an isue with this upgrade.
Thanks in advance for any help.
It seems as though the OTA update was installed incorrectly. Perhaps a file is corrupt or you have an app installed that is causing an issue with the shutdown process. Is your install rooted? I would recommend either performing a factory restore, or re-flash your devices firmware with ODIN (Use with caution!) Either way, please post your intentions. Have you tried anything other than clearing your cache? Did you recently install an application? Let me know
Best of luck,

In the morning, I have experienced the same thing, I use the cm-10.1.3-RC2-p5110.zip
I had to shut down twice.
Rebooting
My device is not rooted (purchased in March). The update was through the Samsung notification - automatic (except for saying proceed). The update went smoothly - no error messages. However, after update, the Nook app would not open so I uninstalled the original and reinstalled through Google Play. In addition, the home page was changed, Samsung putting back on the Media Hub and removing all of my personal folders - icons (very irritating). The standard weather app and calendar widgets were larger than original after update (pushing the calendar off into page 2), so I removed and added the G0 Weather app (I have since removed it to see if the Tab will shut off - it still needs 2 shut downs. As I mentioned before, after the first shut down, the tablet keeps a slight glow for about 20 sec., then goes black, then immediately restarts (as if during the glow something is happening??). On 2nd shutdown, glow is for 5 sec. then off complete.
I prefer not to root (yet) but am uncertain how to proceed with factory restore if I have updated through Samsung. Might it not just reload a faulty OS? As I mentioned, wiping the cache did not seem to work.
Thanks again.
Hello all,
Today my Verizon S6 (on CleanRom 1.5) started to keep rebooting. After it boots, I can use the phone for less than a minute until it reboots again.
Here's how it began to happen today, if it helps.
- I didn't plug my phone to a charger last night, and when I woke up the phone had like 0%~1% battery. The phone died soon after I picked up the phone.
- At the same time I turned on the phone, I connected it to the stock charger.
- I used it for like 1-2 minutes, and the phone seemed to get confused whether it should die again or not (at 0% battery level)
- Then the phone decided to die again, and keeps rebooting itself.
My guess is something related to booting, initializing, or battery might have gone wrong. Also the soft button lights get never turn on.
Now I cannot use the phone really, as it dies like 30 seconds after I swipe the lockscreen.
- I tried to boot into safe mode, it didn't help.
- I wiped cache partition, it didn't help either.
The last thing I would like to try is to odin CleanRom again (or factory reset) but I would like to try other things first because I cannot even backup the data as it keeps rebooting. Odin will wipe all the data in my phone.
Any help or suggestions guys?

The OE2 tar file shouldn't wipe your phone as it is not a full wipe tar. I don't know if your phone would do it with it's reboot problem but a dirty flash of clean rom shouldn't wipe your phone either. However, a reboot during the middle of either of those would not be good. Flashfire does seem to be able to keep a phone from rebooting once it gets going or at least it has for me when I have been caught in a bad way before.
Problem Solved!!!
Thank you Tulsadiver for your suggestions. But is it okay to do odin without wiping anything?
I almost gave up after struggling several hours and thought about doing a factory reset, but the problem is solved now.
I found it weird that the soft key lights never turn on, so I thought that there might have been something wrong with the power management. So I turned the ultra power saving mode on (fortunately the phone didn't reboot before I did that), and it didn't reboot itself. I turned it back off then now the problem is gone!
I am happy with it now, and this might be one of the things to try if you experience a random reboot.
Hey guys, I'm having a problem on my OPO after updating to Android 6.x.x (don't know the exact version, just the newest available update). I've been using 4.4.4. for a long time because of the superior battery life, but I was forced to update because my google play services started to crash every ten seconds. Anyway, after a couple days of going crazy with the insane battery drain (the phone was very hot during screen on, unlike in 4.4.4). I thought something was using power, so I went crazy with the privacy settings and privacy locked Google Play Services and a couple other apps, it asked me if it could access my contacts or something , I selected no and never ask again. The phone immediately stopped producing heat at the back and I browsed internet a couple minutes and thought everything was finally great. After this I turned the screen off. When I turned the screen on, it let me enter my lock pattern, but straight after that when it's supposed to open my home screen, it freezes and reboots after 5 to 10 seconds. The reboot loop is endless from this point forward, now it even crashes straight after I enter my SIM PIN code and goes into a reboot loop.
I had updated to 5.x.x before when it first came out, but had the same insane battery drain problem there so I went back to 4.4.4. So I have TWRP installed (I used it the last time when I went back to 4.4.4 from 5.x.x, so it should be there still?). I can access fastboot (volume up + power) and cyanogen recovery (volume down + power). I tried following this guide http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...den-death-bug-results-neverending-boot-loops/ , but when I run the command 'adb devices' , while my OPO is connected via USB in either fastboot or recovery, my PC won't recognize my phone (OPO doesn't show up either in device manager) and just gives me 'error: no devices found'. What should I do? I haven't tried factory reset in the the Cyanogen recovery, because I read somewhere that it probably wouldn't help and I'd lose all my data. However I'm willing to try this if there are no other options. Thanks for any input you guys might have. I can also post a video if needed to troubleshoot and demonstrate the problem.

Did you wipe your data partition when you updated frowm 4.4 to 6.0? Its most likely that all the apps are crashing due to incompatible data files.
I've once had the same problem and i managed to fix it with deleting data for every crashing app, so this might be an option.
Otherwise you might fix your phone by factory reseting from recovery.
It started a few days ago, I was testing a cardboard/gear vr unity game and the screen would turn black but the buttons were responsive and I could get it to hard reboot or make it come back again after plugging it back into the gear. I looked around but couldn't find anything that resembles my issue.
Now as soon as it boots it goes into a black screen after samsung and carrier logos show, i sometimes get a glimpse of the lock screen and respond to some input.
The phone is still on, I can feel the battery warm.
-No response to any input. Not even pwr+vol down.
-PC won't detect it when plugged.
-No lights on charging.
-I need to let it fully drain for it to shut down and try anything again.
-Did a factory reset from recovery mode, wipe cache. Still the same.
-No root.
-There was an update that may have installed overnight but can't confirm because can't access system info.
EDIT: New find! when booting to recovery, goes into "Installing Update" and then "No command".
Any thoughts??
Is there some pc software that i can use to try to reinstall firmware? Something like SEUS for sony phones back in the day?
Is odin safe or should i look into a samsung official tool? I've never used odin so i'm not sure of it's capabilities (this is my first sammy phone, I had it to get to test gear vr apps)
Sorry for the long post but wanted to get all the info out there.
Thanks!
Can you enter "Download Mode"? (By rebooting and pressing HOME + VOLUME DOWN)
If yes, I suggest that you try, as you suggested, reinstalling your firmware.
You will have to know your carrier, or specific phone model (G930X, where X represents carrier letter (Example: T for T-Mobile) )
Modified Odin (by PrinceComsy): https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591023225177749
Then I suggest downloading firmware from https://SamsungBay.com as all other sources restrict download speed (So it takes a minimum of 13 hours).
https://samsungbay.com/download-firmware/?device=&model=sm-G930&firmware=
Once you have Odin and Firmware, load the correct files.
(AP_G930X), (BL_G930X), (CP_G930X), and (CSC_G930X) into Odin.
Power off phone, and boot into download mode (Pressing HOME + VOLUME DOWN)
N.B/ You will lose all your phone data, sadly, but it seems you've already wiped it.
Hi,
My S7 crashed randomly and was stuck in a loop of the recovery menu. The short version is, I was fairly convinced it was a battery issue, and after changing the battery I was able to boot up successfully and (eventually) backup / copy off all my files. It wasn't esasy as it was constantly crashing and very unstable.
So, I did a full factory reset. This was via the settings menu after booting up and logging in because I couldn't access the recovery menu method. Factory reset has not solved my issue is still crashes usually after a few minutes at best.
Things that work
- Screen not broken, works perfectly, no dead pixels.
- No water damage / not dropped
- Volume Up and Down keys work (for volume and force power off when its crashed)
- Speakers / Microphone
- Both Cameras
- Wireless charging
- Cable Charging
- Full factory reset to latest stock android 8. Never rooted. Totally stock.
Things that don't work
- Vol Up + Home +Power to get to recovery menu / safe mode. Never managed to successfully do this
- I think it could be running a bit hotter than before, this may be subjective.
- Sometimes it crashes, screen powers off, but red charging light remains even when unplugged and it runs hot. Basically until the battery dies.
- Often crashes on first boot, e.g. during "samsung" boot screen. - Will restart and often gets to login on second attempt.
I've been testing via the diagnostics menu *#0*# (What a cool feature!) - Generally this is working ok, and nothing jumps out as failing, but its not easy as it crashes so randomly anyway. Can anyone recommend anything specific I should test?
So - Have I got a new Brick? Is there anything else I should do to try to save my phone? If it was smashed I could begrudingly write it off, but its in otherwise perfect condition! (3 months out of warranty!)
First time poster, any help appreciated.
Thanks

Can you flash latest unbranded stock? If still happens then it's battery failing. S7 is old phone now

Thanks, I've replaced the battery with a new one. Tried full factory reset a second time but it crashed and hasn't restarted since.
I think it must be a hardware issue. It thinks its charging when unplugged, gets hot when "off" won't switch off when crashes so need to wait for battery to die before recharging and trying again.
Yes, its old ish, but really only just over 2 years. My S3 lasted 4.5 years so getting half the lifespan from the S7 is really dissappointing. It was in perfect condition until this happened .
