My Amaze just keeps restarting on me, it is s-off and super cid. it is a kernel issue, and i am really confused because it does not start up when i flash the stock kernel. i really need help, the phone only comes on for a couple of seconds before restarting again. anybody have any ideas as to how i can correct the problem would be greattly appreciated. i tried installing different custom roms but all of them give me the same issue. thanks in advance for the help.
A little more info.
ICS or Gingerbread?
What recovery?
Are they random reboots?
Are they boot loops?
Carrier?
Battery?
--------------------------------
It's Better To Fail At Originality
Than To Succeed In Imitation.
--------------------------------
it is ice cream, the recovery is 4EXt and yes it's random reboots, it doesn't reboot until the phone fully starts up and then it restarts, i thought it was the battery but i changed the battery and still having the same problem. i know it's not the battery because i installed the nightmare rom and it didn't restart, but with that rom the wifi doesn't work and the gsm doesn'twork either. so my simcard is not recognized. and i have installed all the different roms including the stock but it just keeps restarting.
Constant reboot issue
I also have same issue, if your problem is solved, please guide me to recover my mobile..
Thanks in advance..

Make sure your battery isn't loose. Fold a small piece of paper and place it between the battery and the back plate. Be careful not to lose the connection to the antennas.

Hey Guys..
I recently received a refurbished Atrix 4g as a warranty exchange and everything was working fine for a while. Then I decided to unlock the BL and try a few of the ROMs out there. No issues with the flashing part, but now I get random shut downs maybe 10-15 times a day. I have tried multiple thing without success so far so if you have any idea what could help please let me know how to do it.. How can I adjust the CPU/voltage settings on the phone (might work..?)
The phone does not shut down/restart while I am charging or it is in use. Seems to be only in sleep/idle mode
Types of shut downs:
1. Phone shuts off and I have to pull the battery so that it will turn on (green light blinks every few seconds while it is off even without notifications).
2. Phone shuts off and I can get it to turn on by pressing the power button (same light situation as above).
3. Phone shuts off but immediately turns back on and boots up fine.
4. Phone shuts off but immediately turns back on but rather than booting up shows the red text error "Unreachable bootloader error 0x00000004" (green light lit dimly). Will restart fine once I pull battery and reboot.
What I have tried so far:
1. Flashing different ROMs with different kernels.
2. Replaced battery.
3. Read a million posts on issues somewhat similar.
Thanks for any help!
I have the same thing it's because you unlocked the boot loader I no this because if I relock it it never sod
I would use fast boot to wipe data wipe cache and dalvic and then properly flash a good working rom like cm7 or nottach trix something like that also you could wipe every thing and flash current sbf /root into it then flash rom
if the second option still messes up its a hardware issue

Hey, thanks for the suggestions.
I have tried or am currently using those ROMs .. Is there a safe way to flash the current sbf if i started off at 2.3.6 4.5.141?
My atrix did the same thing when I first flashed the neutrino rom but it was only because I wasn't using rom racers recovery. Try flashing that and then wipe everything and flash neutrino again. I'm not sure if that's your problem but flashing the latest recovery fixed mine.

you relocked the bootloader? really?
please do tell us more lol
What is the cause if you have random reboots with a fully stock Atrix? My wife has an Atrix that I'm not allowed to touch (meaning root it or unlock bootloader, etc). She has had it a few months and this past week while she has been using it, it just reboots. I have never experienced this on any of my phones. Any thoughts? I would be grateful for the insight so i don't have to do a warranty exchange.

Iglf that didn't work you should return it. Mine would just reboot and not show some error. Maybe you got aa water damaged phone? Its possible for water to just hit a price of metal to cause a phone to go bonkers

I'm guessing he means the fix that makes the "unlocked" message stop appearing, lots of people were doing it to return for warranty issues when the Atrix was newer. It doesn't actually relock it, it just stops showing unlocked at boot.
I have a completely stock atrix and do to touchscreen issues(wouldnt respond halfway throuh any function) i did a factory reset via settings menu. Cleared up my touchscreen issues so far but now my phone reboots 5-10 times an hour unless charging or during call...

Both a co-worker and myself have been experiencing random reboots for the last week. Both of ours are 2.3.6/4.5.141. Only difference between ours is mine is rooted, his not.
I wiped my Dalvik cache last night, and so far only rebooted once in the last 24 hours (Before it was almost 5 times a day). I did same wipe on his phone, and will see if that fixes problem.
It's just weird that everyone with an Atrix is experiencing this reboots.
I have the sme problem of my phone.. but random reboots appears when internal temp reaches over 38 degrees. I want to take it back to warranty but WTF am I gonna do with a new atrix that I can't touch??
So.. somewhere I read that an app called load monitor can help with this problem.. so I did.. Downloaded from market.. my cell phone has been working pretty good so far.. I created a profile on SetCPU and undervolted it 25 Mhz..
I haven't flash a sfb file just because I dont want to hard brick my phone..
If anyone wants to try what I said please let me know if that worked for you guys..
Regards..!!
I've had this twice in the past twelve hours. It happened once when I had it plugged into my computer in mass storage mode and another time when it was just sitting idle. I've always had load monitor installed on my phone. It tells me something is using a ton of resources, but I can't tell what. Task manager doesn't yield any answers either.
I was just going to send mine in, but I forgot about the new bootloader lock. F***.
I'm running the latest Nottachtrix (flashed via romracers) and the Faux123 1.45ghz kernel.
I know it's not water damage, as suggested earlier. It just started last night and my phone wasn't near water.
This issue seems to be all over the board. Some have some don't. Its very frustrating. I cant even u a case on my atrix. Anytime I use the phone more than 30 mins at a time I get either get the blue sleep or a reboot. And have to pull the battery. Have a spare unrooted atrix I'm gonna switch to til this issue can be resolved.

try using a different kernel with your roms
Reboots
I used to have the same problem, constant reboots all day long. I seem to have cured it installing 1.4.2 telstra, (im on a Bell), and then unlocked and rooted, then flashed 4.5.133 and hit it with faux's 1.45 ghz kernel, works like a charm now. This info might help..
Is is this issue with the WiFi?
I have heard that there is a problem with the Broadcom WiFi module that is inside the phone, when it dies it causes the phone to randomly reboot.
There is an ICS ROM that does not include support for this chip so it may fix the problem (provided you don't ever need WiFi or Bluetooth)

That really doesn't help us.
1. What did you do before that happened?
2. Did you install / flash anything?
3. Did you remove anything?
We need more info.
I apologize for the lack of info.
I was running project butter rom and since I did the S-off to my phone yesterday randomly I lost phone signal I reboot several times nothing help, I reset the SIM card also nothing happen, before I did the S-off I have a nandroid backup so I go to recovery and flash the project butter rom from scartch and restore data phone back up with signal, today my bluetooth was not working so I decide to reboot for my surprise signal lost bluetooth working, So I try to reflash the rom wich it did reboot phone still no signal I turn the phone off to reboot but since them it wont turn on at all i connect it to the wall charge the orange LED is off,I forget to mention that the signal thing start after I flash nightmare new kernel.
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.
FIX
- Reboot recovery
- Wipe Cache
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Reboot

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...

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:

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?

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.
Hi,
I am on Archidroid 1.7.11 , Kernel Boeffla 5.2 b 6a , my phone randomly reboots and is stuck on Samsung Logo, after trying 2 -3 times I am successfully able to get to the Main working screen and It works perfectly normally, but sometimes after 4-5 hours it again reboots and is stuck on Samsung screen , after 2-3 tires I am able to get it working normally. My phone is not hot, I tried 4.1.2 ROM and same thing happens with that ROM as well. Today, I formatted my EXT SD card and this problem is occurring after that (it might be a coincidence).
Is my problem related to:
1. SD Card
2. Power Button
3. ROM
4. Power button (I don't see that it is stuck).
or just 5. SDS?
Please advise as I am out of warranty and pretty worried about the same.
Sounds like firmware corrupting due to nand memory failure. Flash the official 4.3 stock rom, factory reset and test before you install or restore anything.
SDS is sudden, the phone dies and will never boot again.

Thank you very much for the reply. However It will be great if you can share a good firmware to flash (may be a link if you could) and also , do I need to flash it via ODIN with PIT ? Please advise.
I suggest try with new Kernel. Try stock or LiteGX kernel.
I am on latest Boeffla kernel and phone is working fine at the moment. I noticed that earlier it used to reboot when phone was not in use. While using, the phone never reboot earlier. Also, my voltage is sometimes unstable like 500 MA but replugging the charger pin solves the problem. Can someone suggest If my above problem is related to USB port on my phone?
Sent from a better Galaxy designed for humans!
Its been now alomost 24 hours since I got any reboot issue. In the interim I cleaned the USB port on my phone via toothbrush and also made sure that My power button is not stuck.
I wanted to share this so that any one who has this kind of problem in future can take the steps from the steps I took to troubleshoot this problem.
I will report back in case I see this issue again .
Thank you everyone for amazing help!
