my i9100's been boot looping, and I haven't even messed around with it recently. Here is the DDMS log while booting: youtu.be/cL5Lz76GUmA
Any idea what the error codes suggest?
Background: It's been rooted and has been running Siyah kernel for 2 months now, with no problems.
This morning I unlocked it and opened the notifications drawer, and it froze. So I did a soft reset and it went into boot loop. It boot loops after doing a hard reset too.
Clearing the cache and dalvik cache also made no difference. I've tried getting it into safe mode, but can't- I think it doesn't boot long enough for it to detect me pressing the Menu button.

About 3-4 months ago I flashed stock ICS into my Galaxy S2 (I did not wipe the cache, which I discover today was a mistake). I noticed a few weeks later that it was a bit unstable, crashing, restarting, etc. I did not care much and just kept using it.
Today it just would not boot, so after 1 hour trying, I managed to keep it alive (using safe mode) long enough to go to setting and have a factory reset.
Then it would not boot again.
From there, I tried several times the factory reset and wipe cache (using volume up + home + power menu). It would sometimes hang on the "installing applications" until several restarts it would eventually go. Then it would hang randomly on startup "s" video, until I managed to get to the welcome screen - which freezes pretty much on the first or second screen (choosing language and date/time).
I flashed I9100GXXLPY_I9100GDBTLP3_DBT and got the same result.
The phone is not rooted, there is no clockwork and I can't even access the phone to put it into debug mode.
Anyone has any more idea of what can be done besides throwing it on the trash? :/
My tablet was running fine, I was chatting with my friend using the facebook app, suddently everything froze up, so I pressed and hold the power button to force re-start the tablet but got into boot loop instead. I then went to recovery mode, and here comes what I find really weird. I can't do anything in recovery mode. Try to wipe data, the tablet gets stuck and restarts itself. Try to wipe dalvik cache, same thing happens. Try to restore a nandroid backup, get stuck at restoring data. Now the tablet is still in bootloop, and stuck at the CyanogenMod boot logo. Yeah, it just freezes there for about 5 minutes then reboots itself. I'm not new to CWM recovery, I've flashed hundreds of Roms in my life but never seen anything like this. It seems to me this is hardware related, I don't know. Has anyone here faced this issue before? Any idea how to fix it? Thank you.

Have you tried download mode?
Try to recover it in Odin. If it fails to flash i'm pretty sure you have a bad nand.
My device details: SGS3 T999, rooted, running Jellybean 4.3 on a liquid smooth ROM. Its a year old and has been a solid performer up until now.
My device is stuck in a cycle where it gives a quick vibrate, then SGS3 splash screen with white letters, then black screen, then tiny blue "Recovery booting..." words in upper left of screen, then black screen with couple vibrations, and around and around it goes in the same repeating cycle.
Just before it started I had taken the following actions: Dumped the following 2 files onto my EXTSD card (cm-11-20131217-NIGHTLY-d2tmo.zip, gapps-kk-20131119.zip) from my PC, booted phone into recovery mode using TWRP, did a factory reset wipe (success), cache wipe (success), dalvik cache wipe (success), flashed the NIGHTLY file (failed), flashed the gapps file (failed). At this point I should have sought some support. Fool! I next did a reboot step still in recovery mode. Without the reboot happening a message came up stating Superuser permission had been broken (the best I can remember) and the option to have TWRP repair the permission. I opted "yes" to repair. Then the loop started that I can't escape.
I have pulled the battery multiple times, tried a regular boot up, tried a recovery boot up (up volume+power+home) dropping the home button after a few seconds. Nothing is working. Prior to the above steps I backed up everything on the device. So I have backups to use if it can be done. My best guess is that I failed to update my CyanogenMod or TWRP to the very latest versions and it caused this hang up. Otherwise, I don't know what to do and need any help I can get.
Has anyone had this issue or heard of anyone who has and have any helpful suggestions, tips, ideas, etc..?
Thank you in advance. This is my first XDA post. Please forgive and offer tips if this thread needs any scrubbing.
I've had a few similar events for a few different reasons.
I would suggest booting into recovery but it seems you have tried that already.
If the device is plugged into a wall or pc, unplugg it, that has seemed to cause and fix boot issues for me before.
Other than that, I dunno, if you can't get to recovery or fastboot, I dunno...
i had my phone for about 2 years, it has been rooted ever since i got it and its running custom rom and custom recovery CM 13 on android 5.0.1 and TWRP . about a week ago i was charging my phone, when i unlocked it, i'm unable to go to the home screen because whenever i do that, google app crashed and the phone redirected me to the recently used app tabs, then i tried to reboot my phone and it went to safe mode but then i restarted it and its stuck on bootloop. so i let it be for a while, then it show the "android is starting" tab and "optimizing app number "xxx" out of "xxx" and after it finished, again it is stuck in CM's logo. however, then i put my phone to fastboot an restarted it and i dont know, it turned on again after 2 boot loops. a week after, my phone ran out of battery so i tried to turn it on but it wont , after reading threads on the internet, it suggested me to erase the cache and the dalvik cache. so i did and it turned on. today, i ran out of battery again and i erased both cache and dalvik cache, but it wont turn on.. i have no idea what's going on with my phone, and im a newbie so please go easy on me thank you.
This has been occurred several times and I have been able to get the phone to boot up by pressing the vol down and power, sometimes several times. It is a locked phone
Now it will not get past the splash screen at all.
I have tried going into recovery and clearing cache, factory reset and wipe but it still won't fully boot up.
I'd like to try installing a custom rom but all the how-to's I've read need a working phone.
Any help appreciated.
