My galaxy note won't stop restarting itself
I tried rooting the phone, unfortunately I used the wrong ROM file and ended up flashing it with the root ROM for the i717 AT&T model. The phone is actually the SHV-E160L model and I tried downloading the E160ROM.
The phone keeps showing the samsung logo, vibrates, and restarts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Put it back into download mode and flash proper stock rom through odin. That should fix bootloop

I don't know which is the proper stock rom I also can't read korean so finding it has been a struggle

It seems to have worked
Thank you so much, the start screen now has a pink logo instead of the normal samsung splash screen but I don't care
Edit:
My happiness was a bit premature, although the phone now starts up and most things work, the home and return keys do not respond though they light up and attempting to call someone crashes the android core
Hi guys.kinda need advice. I had this s2 for 2 days, ran beautifully, benchmarks and all, gave it the works. I installed root and installed custom roms, everything went super. I was on Resurrection-remix_ics_V2.1_AOKP-B37-4.0.4 and installed SPB.Mobile.Shell.v3.5.3.Build.9885 and I was out with my daughter. I made some photos (by the way I applied the patch for the camera from resurrection) and at one time I was taking a photo and my phone turned off instantly.
after that i rebooted, it was ok, even the poto tat I made was saved but after a while when I tried to take another photo it turned off again, this time when I tried to reboot got stuck on resurrection logo. I turned it off and tried to flash the rom again on the spot.I must have had about 80% battery. Nothing. it started to turn of as soon as Samsung logo came on. Scince than I flashed about 8 times a few custom roms and 1 original for my country. I got it to turn on (today) but it turns on completely only if I keep it pluged in (comp. or wall socket) and if I try to run demanding applications it turns of. what could it be....a voltage problem of the batt, or cpu wise? I really need help. Thx If any additional info is required I will provide it.
Post this in the SGS2 device thread, you'd get more help there

Hello,
I think I have hard bricked my galaxy s2 GT-I9100 (France)
It was working well with the official Kies ICS update.
I installed Sygic Navigation Trial app from Play Store.
Then I started Sygic. It asked me to select maps to download.
I selected some and started download.
When download reached 1800M over 2400M my phone suddenly stopped working. The screen was freezed.
There was no response either from the home key neither the power button.
I removed the battery.
Now the phone doesn't start anymore. There is nothing on the screen. No samsung logo, no battery indicator. No sound. No vibration.
Could someone please help?
I suggest you send it to samsung service center

Yes I have tried all key combinations.
The phone had just been charged all night before.
...
So many SIIs dying due to weird reasons recently, dafuq? Mine died twice already! First time was fixed with a free new battery from sammy but now its dead again...... same reason i think. I let the battery run from 100% to 0% and now its dead Battery dont wanna charge no boot no screens no vibrations... Something is wrong in there...
I still cannot power on my sgs2.
What I have noticed is that when I let the battery in the phone, 10 min after I can feel some heat like if the CPU is working at 800mhz.
I think that the phone is endlessly trying to boot, but resets even before reaching the first samsung logo.
My fear is that the mmc chip is corrupted. I heard there was bugs in the emmc firmware with the wear leveling.

Hi
my s3 keeps freezing. the screen basically just freezes while i'm doing something. and the device stops responding to anything.
cant lock it. cant do anything. it doesnt even autolock , the screen just stays on with whatever i was working on.
------------------
the only solution is to wait for it(about 20 minutes) and it will get back to whatever it was doing earlier. or hold the power button and it will reboot.
when i checked my router, i can see that it is still connected. so wifi is working. when i call my number from another phone, it rings but the S3 does absolutely nothing. and after it starts working again, i dont see any missed calls. so anyone who calls me while its "Freezing" will get ignored. i wont even know !!!
---------------
its not related to any app or function.
i updated it to 4.1.2 using odin a month ago (official release, because it would take it forever to get the update in my country) . it was running smoothly. a week ago it started freezing for moments every day or two. now i cant get through 10 minutes of using the device without it freezing for 20 or 30 minutes.
then the screen is turned on and it goes back to normal. and freezes after 10 minutes even if i dont use it.
i've noticed that using WiFi speeds up the freezing. When Wifi is On, it takes about 30s - 3 minutes for it to freeze.
--------
---
I did a Factory reset(full wipe from recovery mode), it worked for about an hour after the reset , and started freezing again like before.
----------------
after researching online.. many people had the same issue. some say its the stock android browser(but i dont use the browser), some said its a glitch in WiFi power saving mode(Disabled it, nothing changed), some said its a problem with the battery(i'm gonna trade batteries with my friend and see what happens).
I'm Freaking OUT !!! ... the device is Very Unstable and i use it on daily basis, i cant live without it. i dont know what to do. i've almost tried everything.
and i've paid alot of money for it
....
.........
i dont know what to do next. probably gonna flash it back to 4.1.1 or 4.0.4
i Hope to hear any ideas from you. or from anyone who had this issue with his device.
thanks in advance
Did you try a full wipe ?
Or maybe trying another ROM?
Try flashing a full stock Rom with a full wipe might that help

Dude, mine did that the first week I got it. Ended up failing and became stuck in Samsung's boot logo. That has nothing to do with whatever rom you're using. Backup and return it to stock if possible/needed, and take it in for a replacement/repair asap.

i did a full wipe, it didnt help !!
if i get really frustrated i will wipe it again, and flash it back to stock 4.0.4 ( but i hate ICS, ... JB is soo much better)
Suggest you flash a different kernel and see. Would recommend Siyah or Yank 555
My freezing issues stopped once I did it.

i bought it 7 months ago, returning it is not an option.

and this has never happened before. and it didnt happen after i updated to 4.1.2 right away. it happened a month later
so i'm thinking it has to do with the hardware or some app update thats messing things up.
thnx for replying anyway :good:

Sounds like SDS (Sudden Death Syndrome) to me....

Take it to a certified Samsung service center (that's where my phone is at the moment with the same symptoms).

No dude, I had frequent freezing issues. Had to always take out the battery and restart.

Did you find any solution for this? Mine has the same symptoms, but only when playing heavy 3D games.
*** ORIGINAL ***
I had this problem for the past two days. I removed my sd card about half an hour ago which seems to have fixed it. Before that it wouldn't even last two minutes without "locking up". I'll report back tomorrow if the problem was fixed permanently.
*** EDIT 1 ***
Nevermind, it froze just a few seconds ago. Keep on looking for a solution.
*** EDIT 2 ***
Well, I didn't touch my phone my phone over night and now it's working just fine. I have no idea why though.
update: my phone has almost stopped freezing. in past 24 hours it has frozen only ONCE !!
i've noticed that the freezing becomes more frequent if i pull the battery or restart by holding the power button.
so i started leaving it to sort it self out every time it freezes. and now its running smoothly.
-------
i'm happy that its working now, but still i wanna know what caused this. and if it will start happening again ??
---
everyone thnx for the feedback
and i will post updates and new info if i get any !
Mine is fixed
So i was having the same problem as the OP and i fixed my problem... These are the steps i took but maybe not all of them are needed.
Bought Triangle Away and Reset my Flash Counter
Flashed the Stock XXELLA ROM which updated the bootloader
Flashed CWM Touch Recovery 6.0.2.7
Booted in Recovery
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Booted Normally
Installed crDroid ROM v10 with Siyah Kernel
This was finished at 5:30pm last night and my phone hasn't frozen since.
Spoke too soon
Well,
Phone is now dead.
Completely.
Doesn't turn on anymore.
I want to cry...:crying::crying::crying:

Hi Ali5anDro31,
Just curious if you have any further updates? Is yours still working well?
It seems I have the exact same problem as you (freezes randomly, more likely to freeze during heavy load but also often within 5 minutes of boot, usually unfreezes in about 20 minutes, and often gets stuck on Samsung logo if forcing reboot rather than waiting).
For a while I thought that following your advice and just letting it unfreeze itself when it happens (even though it takes a long time) it might have been fixed (going 18 hours without a freeze after having about 30 freezes the two days prior), but now I just got one again (within 5 minutes of starting browsing this morning).
Should I stick with it and hope it resolves itself, or take other measures (e.g. see if I can return the phone)?

I keep getting freezes also.
So far, it only happens with XXELLC based roms. When I go back to XXELLA the phone never freezes.
I have tried several XXELLC Roms, but all of them freeze, including Omega and VikingRom.
I'm now on VikingRom v4.1 (XXELLA) and no freezes.
Edit:
Nevermind, now it's happening also on XXELLA roms. All this started happening to me after i installed CM10.1, and then i went directly to XXELLC, of course wiping everything including internal storage.
Spent 2 days with this problem, i'm on XXELLA with a completly unmodified S3 using a 64gb SD card. I think i've fixed it have now been running for 30 hours without a freeze. before it was freezing every 5 minutes, nearly sent the phone back.
Any way my solution is uninstall all updates to samsung 'music hub' and uninstall the samsung push service updates and disable. this seemed to fix it. Can't believe Samsung are putting out software that knacks their own phones.
Hello.. just found this topic..
What color is your S3?
My manager had similar problems and he asked me if i could fix it.. in the end the phone just died.
My girlfriend has the same problem and her phone died today..

My dead phone is also a White one from the 1st batch from the UK
Hi there,
i've searched the net for help and didn't find anything similar.
my girlfriend and I both using galaxy S3 9300 4.1.2 bought in June.
In the last few week both of us suddenly saw that the phone turns off while it idle.
In most of the cases the solution was turn it back on, but sometimes it didn't help and we had to take the battery off and back on.
today I noticed for the first time that the phone doesn't really off- since the notification led still flashes.
I'm using apex launcher she use TW.
any idea anyone?
I will be grateful,
Thanks
Or
edit:
both phone are stock rom
mine with the UK Rom
Her with the Indian Rom
both 4.1.2 virsion.
I am having the same problems since last week. Sometimes it also freezes in applications. The GUI thread is then still running because I can see animations from loading dialogs and the wifi indicator also blinks. When this freeze occurs, the device won't react on button presses (except very long press on power button to reboot). Also the device is not going into standby mode (screen off) after 30 seconds.
Maybe this is a side effect of the last update? I am running build version JZO54K.I9300XXELLA (Dutch intl version).
Edit: when it's stuck also the battery is drained very fast.
you might be right and maybe there is a connection between last update and all that bugs suddenly appears.
I update through odin to the newest firmware:
I9300XXEMB1 I9300OXAEMB1 I9300XXMB1 BTU
anyone have a clue?
Data wipe would be first start point really
I would start from that, but how come that it started on both phone at same time- doesnt it means its a software related?

No idea to be honest, are they both stock phones? Rooted? Could even be something inane like a recent app update that isn't working properly, could be almost anything

both unrooted, both running stock rom.
anyway if so, i guess you wont recommend to back all my app, right?
I would back then up, system data is most likely the cause, so my advice would be just restore app data only where necessary and important

You flashed an international i9300 Rom on to your AT&T 9300, they are different phones, and you are in the wrong forum
