I cant use my samsung galaxy y because it auto restarts. I dont know if it really restarts because everytime i turn it on it just boot on its loading screen of "Samsung Galaxy Young........". I tried to turn it on by pressing home, lock, volume up buttons, it showed but after that it then auto restart again. But i noticed at the second that it turns off automatically after 4-8 secs when i turn it on. Whats the problem? software or hardware?
additional info:
1. my Sd card, internal memory is NOT full. I always make sure not to make my memory(sd and internal) full.
2. my phone is rooted. i think rooting is not the problem because i rooted it 5-6 mos ago.
3. no custom roms intalled, just games and simple apps.
4. before the problem happened, i still can use my samsung galaxy y NORMALLY
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi
I used the factory reset function on my tab a couple days ago to delete all apps and such and upon reboot it was stuck at the slowly flashing Samsung logo and would proceed no further. I left it for a good hour and a half in that state before I tried hard resetting it but no dice. I've had it do this before when I first rooted it, but unlike that time it doesn't replay the whole boot animation, just the logo part at the end of the animation. I managed to get it in clockwork mod or bootloader whatever that function is and cleared all the caches and did a reboot recovery (i believe thats what it was called) but upon reboot it did the same exact thing. So after that I gave up and went to bed, but the next day when I went back at it again it wouldn't even turn on. After messing around with the power button and volume button trying to get into recovery mode it finally turned on but went to the battery screen with no other actions. I've tried several times to get it into recovery mode but it either wont turn on or it just goes to the battery screen. I have it plugged into my pc at the moment and apparently it is in recovery mode or something because Odin recognizes it. Says [0:COM3] and the box is yellow, but the screen never turns on though when holding the power button and volume button while it's plugged into a pc, the pc recognizes something plugged into the USB slot. My pc is only recognizing it as a modem and will do nothing else with it.
I have the Starburst rom and the overclocked kernel installed and would like to either revert it to stock rom or perhaps the AOKP rom, milestone 6. Is there any way to do this if I can't boot it into a state where I can access the SD card on my pc? All the guides I've found always require I put files on the sd card to flash in clockwork recovery mod. Thanks for any assistance
Edit: Solved it myself, feel free to delete this post. Thanks!
Hi
I have an international model I9300. while updating the rom via odin, i had accidentally selected the repartition option and the flash did not complete even after waiting for over 30 mins. so i had no other option to pull the battery and reboot it. then i loaded stock rom on it but still what happens it while booting after the lock screen appears, it freezes. sometimes it does complete boot and i can use it normally, but when screen shuts off due to inactivity, it actually powers off on its own.and i have to power it on again for a complete boot. Then, i enabled the screen awake mode from developer options and put it to charge - strangely with the charger plugged in it never froze or rebooted, as the screen didnt go to sleep mode! I have gone through the SDS threads and also used the dummy file generator but no error while generating dummy files. I have tried I9300XXALE8, I9300XXEMB1, I9300XXEMC2 and I9300XXEMC3 and Slim-i9300-4.2.2.build.5 roms but all give the same result. also tried without SD Card and SIM Card - still the same problem. can anyone give me any suggestion on how to solve this please?
Hello,
I rooted my S2 some time back with no problems and removed some Samsung bloatware. I did not install a custom ROM but did use Triangle Away to remove the start up screen. It's rooted with the Siyah Kernel
My issue is not with boot hanging, but hanging after starting,
My phone used to hang every now and then (twice a week) and a simple battery pull would solve the problem. Pull battery, reboot and it's fine.
Today, my battery ran out, and I placed it in charge and removed the phone after charging. My phone starts up fine, gets pass the Samsung logo, Siyah logo and I get my home screen. Here is where the problem starts.
I get the usual start up notifications e.g. "preparing USB storage", "power saving mode enabled" etc. I can then use the phone for roughly 4 seconds before it freezes. The touch screen does not respond. It freezes. The only thing that does work is pressing the home key 4 times to get negative colours. Apart from that, nothing. If I press the sleep button, the screen goes black and the phone is off. I restart and I get the same problem all over again.
TLDR: Rooted phone, hangs at homescreen upon boot, no custom ROM, battery pull doesn't work
Any help would be much appreciated!

Haven't tried that but I will give it a go mate
Okay, here's the situation. I was playing Minecraft PE on a server. While I was playing, all of a sudden, my tab stopped working and froze. Then I reset (power button >5 seconds) the tab. After that, I was stuck on the splash screen (shows Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1). But I did set the settings to not show the boot animation during boot (this was a long time ago). I left it there for 2 hours++ and nothing happened. I even left it to drain until it shut down itself. I did a full charge, not working. I took out the battery overnight, not working. Only CWM recovery works. I tried to backup, but then was stuck on SettingsProvider.apk. I cleared cache and dalvik, not working. I didn't factory reset though as I will lose the entire Rom itself. I tried to sideload the rom on my pc, but Windows shows USB not recognized etc. I also tried going into download mode, but then same thing, windows does not recognize it. In ODIN, nothing shows up. I suspect a faulty cable, so I'll buy a new one. However, that couldn't make it bootloop in the first place. So I need help for this.. It has been almost a week. My ROM is SlimBean p4 20121211. Thanks in advance.
Ok, so one night I was using my phone normally (Browsing. Watching YouTube, Playing Games) like everyone else does. Then all of a sudden it shuts off, but immediately turns on again without me pressing a button. (So basically it suddenly auto restarts on its own) This occured maybe 2-4 times (all in one night) until one time, it shuts off but doesn't turn on again (basically an automatic shutdown), so I tried turning it on again (Power button), then I got shocked because all of a sudden it enters a boot loop (Screen displaying this sequence : Samsung Galaxy S4 screen, my carrier logo screen, The encrypted screen (where you have to enter your encryption password) then again the Samsung logo but this time with the colors splashing from the background, then it shuts off again.) Sometimes after the boot loop sequence, it vibrates but never turns on again, sometimes it just turns off after the sequence. And as I try and try to get away from the boot loop, the sequence became shorter. So I'm guessing it's a battery problem, BUT my battery isn't bloated or deformed. I tried clearing the cache first, again the sequence got shorter (never going up to the carrier logo screen), then I tried formatting the data, still to no avail. Now, when I turn it on, It shows the Samsung logo screen for 2 seconds and shuts down.
I tried flashing it with ODIN thru Download mode BUT (HERE'S where another problem occured) :
My phone never get pass on the system.img.ext4 dialogue and my screen just goes blank. But ODIN still recognizes my phone. And when I remove the USB cable, ODIN says FAIL.
I'm sure the cable is working. I downloaded the firmware for my carrier (Tre 3).
What could be the real problem here?
Here is the description of my device :
Samsung Galaxy GT-I9505
Bought from Italy, Tre 3 carrier
Can I download a different region/carrier for my I9505 phone?
Advanced thanks for anyone who comments and I'm very sorry for my English. Thanks!
I would install TWRP recovery, boot to it, and use it to format data, which will remove the encryption. Then I would either push a rom to the phone via recovery or try to reinstall the stock firmware with Odin. Make sure that you run Odin as admin as well. The firmware must be the same version or newer. If you still have the stock recovery and can boot to it, then I think the build number of the currently installed firmware will be visible there. You should be able to use that to Google the correct version you need.
Hey it's me. Just posting a quick reply.
Thanks for replying to my post. Yesterday I successfully flash a rom to my GT-I9505 (Version 5.0.1 Italy HUI 3G). However it still didn't boot up. At first try it booted up to the first setup screen then just randomly shuts down. Then as I try to boot it up again, It just shuts down after the first Samsung logo (with the GT-I9505 logo), I can't boot into recovery cause it shuts down. I'm sure it's not a battery issue cause when I boot into download mode, it can stay in that screen for like 10 minutes. What could be the issue? I'm planning to disassemble my S4 sooner to see if something's wrong inside. Thanks again for the reply
