Suddenly when I unlocked the screen it set itself into bootloop with the galaxy s3 logo showing for a few seconds then disappearing and then appearing again. The phone is unlocked, unrooted, running 4.1.2 stock ROM and has worked fine for the week I've been having it. I can't get into recovery mode. As soon as the phone get's battery power it starts bootlooping and holding volume up + power + home only make the android icon quickly flash past and then continuing in bootloop.
Help please...
Okay after the 25th try or something the phone decided to boot into download mode and I managed to wipe the phone and it seems to be working now. Can't seem to delete the thread though...
Glad it got sorted. You can't delete posts on xda so just edit the thread title or ask a mod to close it

well I tried flashing a new ROM, it was stuck on the boot screen for a good half hour so I decided to restart the phone, it then went into a boot loop.
I used common sense and tried to boot the phone into CWMOD to reflash the stock ROM, or even another ROM, but the phone wont boot into CWMOD, it just goes straight into the boot loop, so i tried booting it into download mode so I could try use Odin, but the phone wont boot into that either.
I'm not sure if its the phone being a retard and not booting into either of those modes, or my phone has been suffering with the home button sometimes, it just refuses to work... but anyways please say you can help me with this and i wont have to fork out a huge some of cash to buy a new one......

Sometimes it helps to take out the battery for 5 mins. Then the 3 key press for download and recovery works again.

If the phone gets as far as a bootloop, it's pretty sure it'll be able to go at least into download mode.

That might be your problem, the home button is kinda required for recovery or d/l mode.
That's a hardware issue, so you should return it for warranty anyways.
However, till then, try getting a USB Jig, that gets you into d/l-mode w/o needing to press any buttons.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Hello everyone,
My Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7500 is stuck in a boot loop which only shows "Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" on screen. I've tried pressing the power button to power down the device, but the screen will just go blank for a while and then the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" will show again. There is no way for me to go into download mode.
Any way to solve this problem?
I've tried and tried and finally got into download mode, used Odin to install a kernel. Everything runs OK, until it reboots. Then I see the logo again for awhile, suddenly it powers off, then unable to switch on anymore. I think the battery is dead, will try later after it is charged up.
Nobody seems to care about the issue I've face.
Anyways, been trying out all the solutions that I can find all around XDA, it turns out only "restocking" can solve my problem.
Re-flashed my tablet following the guide at Team Overcome's site.
Maybe these instructions will help
a while ago i got my tablet stuck in bootloop... after a lot of research... i fixed it and put the step by step here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329261
Let me know if it helps!
You should get a USB jig. It'll jump you into download mode. Unless that tablet doesn't use the mini usb... Which it might not. If you have a custom recovery on there, then wipe data, then install a new ROM

Hi - will a "USB jig " help me with my problem, or do you have any Suggestions?
I was flashing stock 4.0.4 ICS via Odin and unfortunately I walked away from my computer for a quick minute ... and my 3 year decided to unplug the tablet. I previously had CWM v.5???? - now I can see the download screen, then get to the OS warning screen.
Then when it says to hit volume up to continue and down to cancel ... I hit volume up and it goes into bootloop and when I hit down it goes into download load but Odin doesn't recognize it.
Note : I have to hit the opposite volume to even get into download mode.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
if im not wrong you can restore with kies, emergency firmware ....... or something like that, did you try?
I rooted my phone without any trouble for months, and its been working just fine, until now! Then, I had to do a factory reset. The normal procedure, SETTINGS> PRIVACY> factory reset. The phone then never got past the boot logo. It starts to load, and just gets stuck at the Samsung logo, and nothing else. there's two lights glowing from the capacitive buttons, and that's all. I'm on 4.1.2 JB stock rom. Later, I tried to enter recovery mode, and did a wipe, and cleaned cache partition also. AND, the phone just sprung to life, the whole first time set up thing. I started filling in stuff and the phone just shut down again, and if I tried to reboot again, it doesn't get past boot logo. But if I wipe n do it, it happens but shuts down immediately Please help!!

Boot into download mode, get a stock rom from Samfirmware, flash it with Odin (How ? Thread stickied near top of Q&A).
Hi,
I have a Galaxy Nexus with the volume buttons spoilt (not functioning). It is rooted and running on AOKP's 4.4 rom. I accidentally installed the wrong kernel and while panicking, I wiped the data and davlik cache. Now, I am stuck in boot loop. Also, when I plug it into the computer, the phone is UNAUTHORIZED according to adb server.
Is there any way to authorize my phone without booting into the OS itself?
or
Is there a way to boot into bootloader/recovery without authorizing the phone and without using the physical buttons of the phone?

Unfortunately given the circumstances you've presented, you'd appear to be stuck like that unless you can get those volume buttons working. Because you can't get to the boot loader and recovery or get the phone to boot and even worse, adb not functioning, you're stuck that way. Unless someone knows something i don't, it's just the way it is.

Has anyone solved it out? Got really similiar problem. Stuck in bootloop + hardpressed vol up. Vol Down should work properly tough, but have to admit that problems occured using VOL Down or even power beacause of hardpressed VOL UP. My device (Htc ONE S - s4) is fully rooted, unclocked, etc.)
Is it possible that Bootloader got broke somehow?

Hello,
I've just solved problem of my own with it
I enclose my simple solution
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...-to-bypass-unauthorized-t2954557#post57153022
Basically once you get to the bootloader everything should be easy
Sorry for my first post to be a help thread but i'm stuck and looking for advice.
My phone (Galaxy S3 i9300) is stuck in a boot loop. I am/was running paranoid android beta and had been updating via the OTA updates. I had phone on charge last night and when I woke up this morning I had an OTA update and a text. I pulled down notification bar and hit the text and the phone knocked off and went straight into boot loop.
Flashes from the "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300" screen to black and goes around and around like that non stop. I've tried booting with/without sd card and using 3 different batteries.
I've tried booting into download mode and the warning screen pops up momentarily but no matter how quick I hit the volume up/down key it will go back to black and start looping again.
Same goes for booting into TWRP, get as far as the Team Win logo popping up before going back to black and back into the loop.
When I plug in a charger/usb cable I get a loop of the battery icon flashing on the screen instead. (Still cant boot into download or TWRP with it plugged in)
I'm stuck for ideas. Is there anything I can do? It's been working fine up until this point. :crying:
Somehow i've managed to be able to get into Download mode and Odin recognises the phone.
Managed it by pulling the battery out while it was going from boot screen to download mode screen, no idea how/why that worked but it did.
Still stuck for my next move though?

Done. (Reported and asked to move thread)
Flashed stock firmware with odin but unable to factory reset, still nothing but a loop of the Samsung Galaxy S3 splash.
