Fixed but I have no idea how or why. If any can explain I would appreciate it.
I was on TWRP and flashed Hyperdrive which caused me to Boot loop at the Samsung screen. I then tried to restore my backup which failed. I then went through and wiped all the data and tried a different rom (Clean rom) this caused boot issues too.
I ODIN using factory image which still boot looped. I then went into recovery ( i lost TWRP when I odin'd) and wiped everything and still boot looped. I wiped everything again 3 times and this time I was able to get into my stock rom.
I am confused with is happening inside the phone that caused the boot loop and why I still had boot loops even after a ODIN restore.

sometimes it just takes a little while. was it actually looping or just stuck there? Ive had to wait 10 minutes before it actually got passed that screen.
Yeah, you probably just didn't wait long enough...

Wow, 10 minutes? Yeah ok, I definitely didn't wait that long before. I started to freak out a bit when it started resetting continuously. I thought the waiting would be just sitting at the boot screen and then when my restore failed the worst things were going through my head.
I am having the same issue after I reinstalled hyperdrive v6 where do I wait 10mins at?
My bootlooping starts at the language selection screen do I wait 10mins at the installation page?
Fixed it.... it was the Walkman player.
i have the answer!!
dont install any of the audio hacks and also dont install the walkman musci player just use the samung one ... peace!!!!!

My thunderbolt got stuck in boot loop about a week later after flashing Liquid ICS MR3V1. If I attempt to reboot the phone numerous times it will eventually boot up and work fine. The phone will not allow me to get into recovery - it will just go into boot loop once recovery is selected. I did manage to get the phone to go into recovery one time and I wiped everything and installed an infected eternity rom that I have been running for a long time without any issues. I thought I was okay once I flashed this rom but when I restarted the phone it went into the boot loop sequence again. Currently after 15+ attempts at starting the phone I got it to boot up without the SD card. I rooted my thunderbolt through revolutionary...if it matters?
From reading other threads it appears I need to install an RUU? Can I just install a RUU that will not un root my phone or do I need to change my modded Hboot, go back to s on and unroot? I flashed roms numerous times without issues and I always wipe multiple times and I am not sure what happened here. Unfortunately I do not have any backups to revert back to -- since I read flashing an RUU without the proper steps can brick my phone I wanted to seek advice to make sure I do it properly.
ys RUU can help you . just my own thought.
good luck to you :laugh:

Sounds like something is just wrong with you recovery. Try flashing another recovery. Also, IF you're using the boot manager app, it may be acting up. If the boot manager app is on your phone, I'd recommend removing it.

Do you mean try re installing cwm? I currently can't get into cwm because it goes into the boot loop sequence. I will try this later tonight and see if it helps. I do not have a boot manager app, I believe when I rooted through revolutionary it modifies hboot? (I have been rooted for over a year now withoutproblems)

No, boot manager is just an application from the play store.
Yes, try downloading cwm recovery again.

Update - I reinstalled CWM and got the phone into recovery, and did a reset, wiped everything and got stuck in boot loop. I eventually got the phone to boot up and I deleted a couple roms, etc in my download folder. After this was done I power cycled the phone twice without any issues.
I tried flashing the Droid DNA Cubed Kernel 2.4.2, but forgot to flash the modules before rebooting. When the phone loaded up, all I got was a black screen with a title bar that would restart when I tried to unlock. I then restarted, flashed the modules, and I continued to get the same black screen. I even tried flashing back to the stock kernel with no luck. The only thing that fixed it was doing a factory reset. I had rooted stock with an unlocked bootloader. I didn't see mention of a required factory reset, so what went wrong? Thanks.
I'm not sure what went wrong, and factory reset is not required.
How did you flash the kernel?
I flashed the boot.img from fastboot, then installed the modules in TWRP after the blackscreen.

That's normally what I do but I flash the modules before booting, which is how it should be done.
Exact same thing happened to me. I did the factory reset and started from the beginning again. It really scared me but now I have actual root access with superSU having no issues. So much happier now.
Anyways, the point is. If you mess that step up, just factory restore and do it again... The right way lol

Just flashed back to stock kernel from Flash Image GUI because I kept getting crashes/restarts on cubed, and no black screen this time. Not sure what the problem was, just hope it doesn't happen again lol.

So you did a factory reset and tried cubed again but still didn't work?
It did work after a factory reset, but I got crashes/reboots out of nowhere. I saw other people were also reporting occasional crashing, so I'll stick with stock til it's a little more stable.
Understandable, I get a random hangups every other day or so and it restarts... But the pro's outweigh the cons imo. But I agree with you as well .
Coming from a DX, I got used to random reboots here and there after rooting hahah

Has anyone else had a boot loop problem with the new V of TWRP?? I'm running SOAv3 ROM and had ZERO problems, upgraded my twrp and had about a dozen restarts and freezes and then when I tried to boot into recovery, it boot looped. Fixed it with ODIN, then tried installing it fresh, and got the same thing. Went back to my older version and things are fine once again just wondered if this is isolated or just a known bug??
Yes its a know issue right now go back to the previous working version of twrp and wait for it to get fixed.Also be sure to check big Biff's twrp page before trying to update again to make sure everything is good.

Just update from Padawan V8 to SOA build 3. Was skeptical for a day or so but finally did it last night. Was just about to update to the New TWRP, thank fully I read through all those pages before I did, I usually don't. Saved me a head ache except I forgot to wipe cache's before installing the GAPPS, going to have to re-do that I believe to get the new camera functions from what I've read.

Hi all
I just flashed the latest leaked 4.2.1 firmware on my S3 using mobile ODIN. I was running cyanogenmod. It all went through fine but during boot up it just keeps replaying the samsung boot screen.
Have I done something wrong or is this supposed to happen for a long time. I hope I haven't messed up my phone
boot into recovery, factory reset.
yep happened to me before , just wipe/factory reset and it'll take a while for booting for the first time
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
it has happened to everyone who didn't factory reset when switching ROMs
I also went from CM to stock and also got a bootloop. Factory reset fixed it, but I do have to say I suddenly felt nervous when I saw the boot animation repeating.
that's what's supposed to happen
Thanks guys, done as you said, working fine now
was installing the hyperdrive Rom using clockwork recovery mod, it says it installed sucessfully but when i go to reboot the device it just going into reboot loop, i can get back into recovery mod but when i try to factory reset and try it again it just does the same thing again, tried installing a different rom and still same thing, what am i doing wrong?
im having the same problem. i cant boot into recovery. is there anything i can do. i was on cm10.1 before this and it worked fine. i flashed hyperdrive using OUDHS and it installed and everything. i let it sit for 10 minutes like it said to then i continued to reboot... and now its stuck on the custom padlock screen and im cant boot into recovery for some reason...

Try to get in to Odin mode. If you can flash the Stock Image and go from there.

Hi I have the exact same pb, I flashed several times my S4 (I was on RLS4 before) following the instructions, no way to get out from the endless reboot loop.
There is a suggestion using ODIN, I am not very familiar on how to do that, any help?
Thanks

dont install any audio mod and also dont install any of the music players just the samsung one !
before you go through all the trouble of ODIN, which seems to be everyones answer now a days, it is a kernel issue, flash a verizon loki kernel. It should boot.

First, if you have a back up, restore just the system partition (this will also format your current /system) Then do a factory reset and reboot. Now I if that doesn't work, Odin is your best bet.

FOR anyone installing Hyperdrive, the most probable cause of boot loop in the Walkman Music App. Don't choose it in Aroma!!!
If you already have, the only way to fix the boot loop is to ODIN back to stock, as Dark Menace suggested.
He can PM you the stock image, which you will have to flash in ODIN to successfully boot up again.
hey I do plenty of flashing, and from time to time get into trouble... But ODIN is not the first choice to fix... Please read the forums:cyclops:
Sent a few PM's to see if that helps. You can try the kernels first then go from there.

I had the same problem had to go back in odin mode and reflash a old stock. If that does not work reset data and cache and install a new rom. Worked for me
