[Q] Boot-loop when battery is inserted - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I cannot get my phone powered on without connecting to a charger.It keeps rebooting when the battery is inserted.but it gets out of the loop once the charger is plugged ...once it is on,i can disconnect it from charger and it shows no problem..

Once you get it booted up, delete your batterystats.bin
Go here /data/system and delete the batterystats.bin file or you can do it in CWR if you can get there. Plug in and charge to 100% then unplug (and reboot if you want) and your shoudl get out of the loop.
I am thinking that your battstats are corrupted and your phone "thinks" it has less charge than it does. Ghost in the machine type thing.

Try a different battery?
Go to a T-Mobile store or sumfin and ask if you can try a new battery, if it turns on and boots normal, it's your battery.

dead x10i

my x10 die suddenly, there was 94% battery left, not plugged out long, few hrs later notice phone was off,and it will not power on again, press power to try to turn it on all it does is vibrate and that's it.
tried to flash stock 2.1 back on but not sure if it did anything, took over night or flash tool to finish, still no boot after that, press power and it vibrates that's all, sometimes it doesn't even vibrate, battery is good, works fine in another x10, put a fully charge battery in it and same result.
anyone know what happened to it?
was running eternity 3a rooted with DT.
I'm going to have to send that in for warranty, hope they won't find anything on it and void the warranty.
Was the phone quite hot at the time or heating up when trying to boot?
Remove the battery for a minute or so and try flashing with SEUS.... Check if battery is hot

That usually does the trick. Unplug battery for 1 minute, reinsert it and try again.
That heating problem is present in X8 too... While tethering is enabled phone gets very hot and if you don't act phone will freeze...
do you have a SD card inside. Might be a bad SD card try taking it out and booting it. Happened to me before.

Hi, just wanted to jump in and ask a few questions about this situation.
Do you always experience this issue? How long before it freezes? What "act" are you doing to prevent freezing? Does the phone work normally afterwards?
Hope you can help me out with some answers, I want to look into this.
instead of starting a new thread,i'll post here..
i have this restart problem..
Before this i try to fix my friend X10.. after many tries and a month acctually,i give up..
Now one more of my friend gave me another X10 which have the same problem..
Problem:
The phone will boot but after several minutes it will auto shut down and when i try to power up no vibrate and stuck at black screen.
when i pull the battery out and on again it vibrate and boot.just after boot animation it will shut down again..
Solution that i have tried so far:
Update with SEUS.
Send to profesional phone service to downgrade to 1.6.
Upgrade/flash with flash tool with GENERIC
Upgrade/flash with flash tool with X10_1.0_SE_StockRom_MultiTouch
Wipe user data in flash tool & x recovery
after several tries i got it work and i root and install x recovery.
Flash from xrecovery with custom rom Eternity.build003a.signed
format memory card.
Change battery.
All the solution i've tried doesn't make the problem dissappear.
anyone have ideas or solution?

If you've got root, you could wipe the battery stats - and also you could buy a new charger.

strange behavior after removin battery on LS8 and LSD Roms

I noticed that after removin battery while phone is on, on LS8 and LSD Roms.. the phone doesn't boot anymore unless you do a full data wipe !!! I could reproduce it on different custom Roms... didn't test stock yet.. Any comments ??
I did face this issue once. Since then i have not tested it again.
I also got that,when i removed my battery it doesnt boot anymore. Sometimes it crash when its on and reboot automatically. All i can see after reboot is black screen past the Samsung i9100 and the traingle.
(sorry for bad english)
First, here is android development forum, not discussion
Second, there are several threads in general which discuss about bootloop problem on xxls8 and xxlsd
You are right.. didn't see that thread on general section.. Please close it ...
Today I had same problem: remove battery without shutdown first = bootloop on XXLSD neatrom lite 14.1.

We take the battery off just to check if we still got the bug and we get stuck in the boot. Why?
Because it can happen in a lot of different situations that you cannot control and i can just tell you a few... Phone drops and battery jumps, battery gets drain forcing the phone to shut down without having time for a proper shuting down, freeze by any aplication or anormal situation that can only be solved be removing battery, the need of switching batteries in case you have 2 or more( some ppl got this boot hang by changing batt even when phone is shut down), etc, etc....
BTW fatjoez afterall ur procedure solved my issue, it just took more time than normal to boot, but i wasnt stuck afterall
Thank you very much! I could not reproduce the boot hang issue anymore after do what you said...

Bootloop, Not rooted

So my phone started restarting randomly. It will only show the Samsung logo turn off and do the same thing again. Its not rooted and I am pretty sure that its not from something I installed recently (Everything was from the play store and no immediate problems after any of them). When I did the hold volume up,down and power it would only keep on restarting still. But when I just hold volume down it comes to something else that asks if I want to install a new rom. So I was wondering what I should do. Install a new ROM and then revert back ? or will that not work? Also I have a extra I717 with a broken screen I could swap the insides and see if that would help. Also I don't know much about rooting and stuffs. Lemme know what I should do guys! :highfive:

Could be stuck power button. I know, I know, " but its clicking just fine". That doesnt mean anything. Flick the back of your phone a few times.

Yeah I read that It might be the problem but Its still happening with the case removed.

Take out the battery. Insert the battery without touching anything else. Does it just power on itself or does it stay off? If it does turn on, you might have a stuck power button. Let us know what happens
did that too :/
I did that too. It would turn off and on again but only show the Samsung logo then restart again. Also I have the case removed so It cant be the power button being stuck and I have tried the battery thing still nothing.
Whatcha mean? It would turn on by itself once the battery is inserted or you would have to press the power button. Once the battery is out and then inserted back in, it is not supposed to be powered on by itstelf. If it does turn on by itself, then the power button is most likely pressed in.

I have a I717 doing the same thing. (Eg. device boots and seems to function for a about 2 minutes locks up and reboots. )
As the device was stock when it started having this issue I figured it might be an OS issue Factory reset to it would leave the device booting to optimize applications then reboot. Checked power button checked it was clean.
Also staied on when in recovery without issue.
As I figured this was an OS issue I installed CWM
Downloaded and installed SlimBeam
Device booted and completed instlation and operated for about 2 minutes and rebooted.
Device will does not have any issues with in CWM or Odin. I
I read alsowhere that the internal SD-Card filesystem might have become corrupted and need to be reformated however I have yet to find instruction or confirmantion.
Anyone have some ideas?
.
to Tal Star.
1. When you were in CWM and were about to flash, did you wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache then do the flash? Or just flash?
2. So either os it would do the same? Stay on for about two minutes, then reboot? Would it reboot back into the os and do the same?

So right now you can boot up into the os and it will turn off in 2 minutes? or just given enough time? Will it boot into the os each time? I dont think ill have an answer for it, but i bet someone that does will want to know the same things to possibly narrow it down

Naw it starts optimzing the Applications and lasts a few minutes reboots locks up and starts again. SlimBean completes the process and makes it all the way to the launcher but after a same amount of time it reboots. back to the launcher. (Slim bean has a resonable number less Apps and that's why it completes or is my best guess)

I really wouldnt know about that. Hopefully someone will come by and help you out. I wonder being on the latest recovery would help if youre not already and then doing it all over? Hopefully someone more experienced will chime in.
Could be a corrupt download.
Again, I always flash rom 2 times. You can get different reactions from 2 seperate flashes. 2 time seems to get a more solid installation.
Wait your 10 and reboot.
Still think its a power button issue. It can act normal but still be the problem. Hows you battery?

HAAAAA I hope some one finds this trouble... having the same issue Here... Does your phone starts up correctly when sim card removed? Mine does when sim card removed and pluged into coputer or wall plug.... Did the same steps you did with no effect either... could it be a power management problem ??? :silly: This is getting me nuts...

I dobut it's a download. I use CWM to flash from an external SD card. However I did try reflashing like you suggest with no change. The battery is fine as far as I can tell, like I said it will stay online in recovery on battery for what seems like forever.

Nope I am working on the one I have with the SIM Card out & SD card out.
happens
So what I done so far is taken out the sim and sd card. Took out the battery put it back in and when I power to turn it on It vibrates (like it normaly would when it starts) then shows Samsung logo turns off and loops. I tried doing the hold volume up down power thing and it does not work. But what does work is when I hold volume down it takes me to a custom OS thing. I don't know what that is but I cant get there. So maybe put a custom OS in and then revert it back?
So I used Odin and put 4.1.2 Jelly Bean Official Firmware but its still doing what it was doing before.Used 3.07 and it said it passed fine. Should I try a different rom or something else? Also the first time it starts up after installing the rom it goes past the logo to the ATT ball animation logo freeze there and turns of then when I turn it on from there it will loop at the samsung logo again.
You can try the firmware upgrade and initialization feature in kies. It will return your device to the original factory firmware, software, and settings. If it still loops after that you have hardware issues.
Ok so I guess im making progress now. After I put the stock rom (Different one from befor) It DIDNT BOOT LOOP well it did but only looped 3 times then stoped. Also there are 2 Samsung logos. the frist one was just normal logo ( same one I was having befor ) then the screen turns off and shows the same logo but this time its a little bigger its white with a blue glow! ( Made it further this time but still crashes afterwards) BUT now I can actualy get into the Manual mode. I did a wipe data/factory reset in that mode which didnt help i wiped the cache too. Still didnt help.
Now in manual mode my computer does recognize that something is connected to it now but it tries to configure it and keeps on failing. And so samsun kies cant connect to it either.
But from where I started at its a improvement
My Note is doing the same thing too now, but I know the reason why. I was trying to install clockworkmodrecovery so I would be able to upgrade to jellybean and I think I flashed a kernel that was meant for rooted phones (pretty dumb of me I guess). So now the phone is stuck and I'm going to try to install the original jellybean 4.1.2 for rogers and hopefully that will fix it.
As long as you can get into Odin download mode, your phone can be fixed.

Galaxy S6 Edge SM- G925V Turns On but Shuts Off After 1 Minute and 10 Seconds HELP!!

The Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925V for Verizon turns on but it shuts down by itself exactly after 1 minute and 10 seconds and it would stay off. However, if the phone is connected to a USB charger, the phone would do the exact same thing but instead of staying off, the phone will turn on by itself and shut down after exactly the same time over and over. I already tried flashing compatible firmware but nothing changed. Could anybody help??
Does anybody have any ideas please???
Guys Help please!! Any ideas?

When the USB cable is on or not, it is the same result. I tried unplugging the USB port from the motherboard inside the phone and i get the same results.
Recovery works fine. I also tried flashing the phone with the last software. I even tried the Verizon software assistance. Same results.
