I need some help. For some reason, Whenever I Restart my phone, Either Manually or Letting it automatically do it, My phone keep restarting. It boots up, goes to the Lockscreen, I enter my pin and after 10 to 15 seconds, or just after Syncing Contacts, Goes back to the bootup screen, then back to the Lockscreen. It keeps doing this, and the only (temporary) fix I can do is Factory Resetting the phone within the 10 to 15 seconds I have, And starting over fresh.
It gets worse as, like I said, it's temporary. After I get back my stuff and everything, if I ever restart or even turn off my phone then back on again, it just does it all again. What can I do to fix this permanently? And what caused it?
2 things could be at fault here :
1. A faulty power button. Go to a server and check if you power button is faulty. Perhaps it gets stuck and its the one to blame for the entire problem.
2. A faulty ROM. Either flash the previous version of the Rom, update your rom to the latest or flash a custom rom.

hello friend
I have the same problem. I've already reset to factory defaults but it's still giving the same error. I've already tried disabling the XOS Launcher and nothing either.
If you manage to fix this issue, post it here.
Try to remove your memory card before reboot.

I'm running stock S3 software, and I hit a snag this morning where the phone was stuck in a reboot/deadlock cycle. It would come up to the lock screen, and after about 10 seconds, deadlock. I was getting ready to wipe the phone, when I got a call from my wife during the brief "uptime" of the phone, which seemed to break the deadlock.
I was able to get what data I could off of the data partition (photos, etc), but now it remained stuck on the same issue on boot. Anyone ever see this before? I had to factory reset the device to get it back to normal.

I replaced my phone, it was working fine for a few weeks, and now this bull**** is back. It gets up into the Touchwiz UI, then hangs for a while, and then resets the UI. This keeps happening repeatedly. I have to boot into the stock recovery and wipe the phone.
Does anyone out there know of anything like this? Are there incompatible apps with the S3 and touchwiz that can cause this? Anyway to debug it?
Thanks,
Mike
Hello! I have a stock Android Lollipop 5.0.1 Nexus 5 and for the past week or so I have been experiencing a weird issue.
The device randomly crashes. By "crashes" I mean the screen goes black, but the backlight is still on (it's a lighted black). I can push the power button and it will turn completely black (locked) and if I push it once more it turns lighted black again.
To get the device back into usable state I have to keep the power button pressed until the phone resets. Sometimes I keep it pushed for a full minute and nothing happens, sometimes 10 seconds are enough. Sometimes it will go through the "Google" logo and then stay in the lighted black state until I finally manage to reboot it again. Sometimes it crashes again right after it boots up.
It's weird because a lot of the times it's ok throughout the day and then when I go out in the evening, I take it out of the pocket and I see it crashed. Sometimes it crashes while I actually use it.
Last night it started doing something else: instead of lighted black, the screen is filled with static noise. It doesn't move or anything, it's a still image. Today, when a crash like that occurred, the screen glitched first (random lines on the screen, some parts got moved, really weird). I will get some photos if it happens again.
The problem is that I can't identify what's causing it. There is no particular app or action that I do / use that triggers this. It also doesn't seem to be movement-based, as it sometimes happens while it's sitting still on a table.
I updated to 5.0.1 about a day before this started happening, but I'm still not sure if it's software or hardware-based.
I tried a factory reset and booting into safe mode, none of these helped. I will only consider flashing a custom ROM as a final resort, because I'm not sure if it voids the warranty.
PS: the device is still under warranty, but I'm away for the holidays and will be until the beginning of the next year. And I'd like to have a usable device, especially while I'll be on the road.

I have none of your issues, try booting the device in safe mode and see if the problems still occure. It must be a or multiple downloaded apps that are causing your issues. Or try a data factory reset and restore/download your apps one by one amd try to identify the culpritt.

I said in the post that I tried both of those things. The crash occurred seconds after booting in safe mode and factory reset did not help either.

Flashing the 5.0.1 factory image in fastboot should fix your issues. Or try flashing system.img first, maybe thats enough.
Same issues with my Nexus 5

I am experiencing SAME exactly issues in my N5 with 5.01 and 5.1 . EXACTLY... you are not alone
Seems a software problem (third party app ?) , started in 5.01 and now is in 5.1 , of course system and boot images where flashed with fastboot, so no solution using
Stock, Rooted, using Nova Launcher - Smartwatch 2 - Google Cardboard - Chromecast and many apps.
But started ..if memory helps .. after installing Cardboard 3D apps.

My phone had an issue with the screen. I went to the LG service and they replaced the screen entirely, so that's that.
again and again...
i'm in the same case... I don't have any clues or solutions, i'm just wainting like a dumb... I don't know what to do, i always have to make the thing with the power button and the lower sound button to make it show the boot screen, but it glitch after few seconds... PLS HALP
Please help my phone is confused like it is blinking lg logo but not getting on. In charge it gets on but in few seconds it gets off.
I think you are in soft brick state for some reason.. Did you try to do anything prior to this situation?
How did that happened? Similar issue happened to me, heres my post from other thread:
My H955 suddenly rebooted and it keeps on bootloop. It turns on fully and after 10-30 seconds (the hotter it gets, the less time it stays booted up) reboots again. After I left it to cooldown, there was error that root is gone or smth like that, and I had to agree to EULA and terms&conditions but the phone rebooted again. Maybe some kind of update was pushed in or whatever. This is the first time for me to happen. I have not installed new apps or mods on my phone like in two weeks.
Btw, seems like this is soft reboot, because there is no sounds and it didn't asked for SIMs PIN. I guess it has something to do with xposed..
I have used this method http://www.hard-reset.mobi/lg-g-flex-2-hard-reset/#to do factory reset. It seems to work, however phone still reboots. @mnshkpr8 try this to do factory reset, maybe this will help you.
Later I will try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/help/to-unbrick-g-flex-2-ls996-t3286105
Hi. I have similar problem here.
My phone wont pass LG logo if without charging on, the phone keep booting.. And if i charging on the phone just works fine, but if i plug out the charger the phone just turn off and restart again. Mine still using stock rom. Any suggest ?
This happened to me today as i edited one system file so I could get any app on split screen, I used flashtool and flashed the same kdz in normal mode, It flashed and everything is normal again.
any solution to this?
I have installed Italian OTA Nougat for about a week with clean install (no root).
The phone have suffered 3 random reboots in 5 days. I can't find the culprit of it. It's bizarre that after every random reboot there is a completely white screen after I insert the sim code and unlock the phone. I must press home button in order for the phone to be usable again and go to home screen.
I guess that the obvious answer is factory reset it again, but i really don't have the time to set it up again from scratch. Any ideas or suggestions? It's there a log of the phone that I can use to find the culprit? Thank you for your time
Block this app causes the issue with the white screen. I have uninstalled it and i how Random reboots stop too.
As the title says: Yesterday, my phone turned off by itself even though it had 80%+ charge. It went into a bootloop when I tried turning it back on and after a while, it booted into Recovery Mode and refused to reboot to system. When I came home, I plugged it in and it started working normally again. After an hour or so, same thing happened. This time, it didn't bootloop or go into recovery mode, it just refused to turn on till I plugged it back in. It has been happening ever since. Will randomly turn off, won't turn back on if I don't plug it in once. Also, it only happens when the phone is folded and sitting idly. It doesn't turn off if I'm using it.
Any new updates, upgrades or apps?
Boot loops are many times 3rd party app related.
Back up all critical data as next time it may go down for the count.
Clear system cache.
Try a hard reboot.
If it persists try running in safe mode to try to rule out a 3rd party app. 3rd party launchers and power management apps are always suspect.
Try to track down the cause, and always suspect malware if nothing else can be found. Avoid a factory reset useless it's malware that can't be purged or if you really can't find the root cause.
Otherwise it's likely to reoccur with the next load.
If a factory reset doesn't get it, the cause could be a SEU, these are rare but can happen. If it's in the user data partition, a factory reset will fix it.
If it happen elsewhere in the firmware it will need to be reflashed. It causes no hardware damage.
Lastly if all the above fails, it's likely a hardware failure. A Samsung Experience Center at a Best Buys can run advanced diagnostics on it and reflash it if needed. If you get stuck this may be a good option if stateside.
