Hello all.
I need help and I hope I can receive it asap.
My phone has been turning off on its own quite a bit, but every time I catch it, I would just turn it back on and everything will be back on its way. I can't think of why it would turn off on its own though.
Just now, I was just on gtalk and pressed the power button to turn off the screen. When I tried to press it again to wake it back up, it's off. I turned it back on, it loaded but everything was being force closed. Gmail, Facebook, Calendar etc. So I freaked out and turned it off to restart. Afterwards, when I tried loading it, it got stuck at the loading screen (where there's the yellow triangle). I tried restarting multiple times but it's still stuck there.
I have rooted it and I never had any problems up until now. I have Checkrom V4 (I don't know which kernel, whichever it installs itself). This isn't the first day that I installed this rom either, I've had it for a while now but the problem just got worse today.
I can get into CWM BUT I do not want to restore until I absolutely need to. (this is because I haven't done a backup recently on CWM)
I really hope someone can help as I live off of my phone!
Please and thank you!!

Thanks Chris.
I guess this can be closed as my phone started working all of a sudden.
But I still cannot explain why it would turn off on its own...
go in recovery do a factory wipe and then go stock...

I wouldn't take it for granted that your phone has just mysteriously "rectified" itself. There is something up. I still suggest following the instructions on the thread I posted above if it does it again.

So here's a peculiar incident:
I have a CDMA TP with a stock ROM and a few basic apps I gathered from these forums and others. I've had it for less than a week.
Tonite, I went to check my text messages. Suddenly, the screen went black and the phone stopped responding. After pressing the power button and fiddling with the keys, I pulled out the stylus and did a soft reset. No response. Confused by this, I tried again, but still nothing. I removed the battery, and turned the phone back on. It froze at the "Touch Pro" screen with the rom/radio/etc info at the bottom. After repeating this a few times I decided to do a hard reset. So, I turn the device on and perform the hard reset. By this point the TP is only turning on SOME TIMES, and I have to take the battery out and put it back in often just to get it to start successfully. So, I finally get the device to boot up and it starts to configure WinMo. Suddenly, while configuring, it freezes. Now I try to turn it back on, and nothing happens.
Basically the device is stuck like this, shifting between not turning on at all and turning on but freezing at the "Touch Pro" screen.
So, my question is, what the heck is going on here? Has anyone else had this problem, or does this sound familiar to anyone? Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
p.s. Yes, the battery is fully charged.

Time to take it in and get a new one.....
Same problem here phone started b not coming out of lock mode. Backlight is on but no display on screen (if i tilt the screen left and right i can see light coming from behind) did about 6 hard resets and still same problem. also power button works whenever it wants to. this phone sucks @ss, i want my mogul back. on a second note my replacement will be here on wednesday.
Touch Pro stock rom purchased back in nov when it came out
yeah, i've had the same problem, i found if i hit my phone on the back or side and then batter pull and hit the soft reset while off, not the power button to turn it back on, it comes back on with color on the screen not just blank black screen with backlight, this works mostly every time, but when it doesn't, i just hold the power button down and do battery pull and hit the power button and it works, its like its got a combo of things you have to do before it works.. weird
Boot Up
I have also had similar problems. I for some reason sometimes have to remove my SD card and boot up without it for some reason. Not all the time, but every once in a blue moon. Not too sure how that affects anything, but you may try that too.
well i started a thread here ***help*** because i kinda have the same problem.
i downloaded some cabs, nothing fancy but i had some problems with a theme i downloaded. when i went to deleted i couldnt..... to make a story short, i took it to the sprint store where they tried to do a master reset/ hard reset and it wont take it. it wont do a thing... they say some important files are missing...
the phone works but not the way it should... the time on the home screen wont show up. and some other small things...
dont know how this happened but i would like to know... im worried about new programs to the phone now. ( getting a new one)
still want to see if i can fix this one.

Have you tried re flashing the ROM?
it wasnt HTC's fault for your phone's not booting...thats what happens when u try to mess with the hardware too much and you dont know what your doing
Would you want to sell???
Reboot Brick HTC process
****DOn't take battery out after hard boot***
1.just watch videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk56olMkCtU and do what they do but dont take battery out. LEAVE phone STUCK on BOOT screen. Nothign else will move or work but you want phone just like that.
2. connect usb cable to active sync. (this may not link up but leave usb connected anyhow) Do not delete phone profile.
3.use rom like Download MightyROM6_Herman.exe avail at: http://www.lilrico.com/Mighty/mightyromblog/?p=454
4 although active sync is still attatched but may not be connecting. It will connect thru usb anyway when you run the rom software. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV2I2WAFkg4&NR=1
This worked and kept phone from cutting on and off. and restored ROM. don't know about original htc boot. but your phone will work under this rom for now and you can go from there.
hey thanks plain ole dumb, it works now.
man I thought it was over.
thanks again
I have searched and can't find anything that works. Sometimes it will reboot normal, and sometimes it will reboot into safe mode.
I have pulled the battery and let it sit. I have reboot over and over I have shut it off and waited. I have gone into recovery and rebooted.
I am running superclean 2.8
I do not know if there is an actual problem with the phone, because for a while now it has acted as if I am randomly pushing the keys on the bottom of the screen. It pops up the menu, exits where I am, pulls up search or even pulls up the task screen as if I did a multi home press.
It does not do this all of the time, but sometimes it can be setting on the desk and it will start jumping menus.
Since it is intermitten I am not sure if flashing to stock and taking it to a tech would help.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
I just realized I posted to the wrong section, will a mod please move this for me? Or will someone let me know if it is something I can do myself and how?
There's two main causes I've seen for this...first and foremost, complete odin back to stock. Run stock for a few days and see what happens...
I did an odin factory restore and ran it for a few hour the other day and I don't remember if it was in safe mode or not, but it was doing the same thing with the menu button.
Hi everyone,
I've tried using search on my problem, but most of the time people who experience it have some custom ROMs or been flashing them, or doing some other modifications.
I've just been charging my phone, everything was working, until it charged to 100%, but forgot to unplug it just then. Next time I looked at it, it was off. I've held the power button and got a message "Android is updating.. starting apps", which was weird, as even official updates don't install themselves without confirmation - what update then? As it was stuck on that screen for more than 20 minutes, I've turned it off, and back on. The the Samsung S II I900 logo appears, the sound of booting, and a Samsung glowing logo, on which it's stuck forever.
I've tried a battery pull, tried leaving it overnight with that glowing logo, so it discharged and turned itself off, but it's all the same, it doesn't go past the logo.
I really don't want to lose some data I have there - mostly messages and some app data, which I'm not sure is backed up on google servers somewhere. I'm doing a backup for photos, but still, some can be lost if I do some plain factory reset.
What can I start with to try and bring it to life?
Sorry if it's a noob question that's being asked frequently.
Funny thing, I'm waiting for a Nexus 5 to arrive, as my SGSII is old and weird, and I guess it has sensed the treason, hehe. :\

Press volume up button+home button+power button. Press these three button at a same time to go into recovery mod.
As you are facing bootloop you have to do wipe data and wipe cache it will delete your apps and messages. I think this is the only solution to fix your phone at this stage.

that's not good news..
I was thinking of flashing some stock rom, like the one you get in a Kies updates, the no-wipe type.. Do you think it might work or I shouldn't even try?
hmm anyone? please?)
maybe there's still a way to access some data?
Just install a stock with Odin. All yr data will still be there. Cheers
Hello, I have some big issues with my S3.
I have been using Android Revolution HD v29 for a long long time and a week ago I decided to update it to v52. Everything was working well, but then the camera started acting weird ( it had some pink lines ) but it wasn`t such a big problem and I let it go. Today, the power button became very sensitive. Even a simple touch turns the screen on and a press opens the power off menu.
Now, it is restarting itself all the time, I took the battery out and now when I put it back on, the phone starts without touching the power button. I tried going to download mode but after a time it restarts again. I am worried that if I try to install a stock rom, it will restart again and I can do more damage to my phone.
What should I do ? I am posting here because I don`t think this is a ROM issue because everything was working fine, it seems to be a hardware problem. My phone is still in warranty but it is rooted atm.
I hope you guys can help me

It's a hardware problem, the power button is daamaged or stuck (thats why it turns itself on with battery). Also, pink lines on the camera are symptom of a bad contact, you should also get that camera checked.
Try and get it stable. Maybe open it and try to get the power button to stop resetting the device.
Next, triangle away, and flash a stock rom with odin (follow the guide on getting back to factory state with 0 flash counter). Remember that to avoid having the binary flash count at 1 you have to turn it off after triangle away finishes resetting the counter and before the phone boots android. Then flash a stock rom with odin.
Best of luck.
I did a factory reset right now and it seems to be better. The autoreset has stopped, I don`t know it it is because of the factory reset or the button is working fine for the moment, but at least I can flash a stock rom now.
Anyway, the camera issue and the sensitive button are still there.
L.E : I am now back to full stock and everything works fine, if the problems come back I will take it to warranty.
Thanks for your help !!
Hi, I need your help, sorry for my english.
So, today, first thing in the morning that I did (as I do every once in a while) was to install any app updates that I had, and everything went well... until the afternoon, when I woke up from a nap, I went on to use Whatsapp and the app suddenly said that it had stopped (you know that message that appears every once in a while). I went in and opened it again, but this time it gave me the option to restore my conversations and stuff, but I closed the app knowing that it would take a lot of time, and I restarted my cellphone. That probably was a mistake.
It only turned off, it didn't turn back on, which was confusing but I thought 'oh well, I must have not clicked on 'restart''. But as soon as I turned it on, several messages of other apps started to say that they had stopped working. I tried restarting it again, and then it said that it wanted to update my Android software, but it didn't finish because there was a mistake (I didn't touch anything), and then it just stopped working correctly, and it turned itself off, and you know, when you turn it on, the first thing that appears is 'Samsung Galaxy s4 Mini -----', but after a while it didn't appear anymore. And that's where we are.
The first thing I thought was to go for my USB cable to try and format my phone, but I didn't know that the phone had to be on to do that.
Then I tried to do the hard reset thingy that I read on the internet, but that doesn't work either.
I tried charging the battery for a very long time, I took the battery out, put it back in, everything.
The thing is, when I turn it on, it vibrates as it normally does, but it just doesn't work.
Hopefully someone can help me!!!!!!!
