First, some background. I've been happily using NeatROM 4.9.1. A few nights ago, my phone started beeping a lot. It kept thinking the charger was attached, though it wasn't. Somehow, after a number of restarts, battery removals, and plugging/unplugging the charger, it started working normally. Then today it started beeping again for the phantom charger. I decided the phone needed to go to Samsung to see if there is a hardware issue. So, I used Odin and restored the factory 4.1.2. Well, since doing that, the phone gets stuck on the Samsung splash screen. I was able to boot into recovery, so I re-rooted the phone with Philz kernel, cleared the dalvik cache and regular cache. But it wouldn't reboot out of recovery. So, i reflashed 4.1.2, via Odin and it's still stuck.
update: i did a factory/data reset and the phone is booting normally, but I think I might still have a short or a micro-usb connector issue.
Could be charger
Could be usb
Could be battery.
Sam will find the fault

I purchased a new 1800mah battery on Ebay (listed as I777 battery) and charged it offline using a wall charger.
When I installed the battery into the phone, it started up and got stuck on the samsung logo screen with the yellow triangle.
I tried putting back the old battery but same problem persisted.
I was able to re-boot into recovery and navigate there but any re-boot resulted in getting stuck on the logo screen.
Finally I did a factory reset and only then the phone started up into android all the way.
Is it possible the new battery caused this issue ?
I don't think that is the cause. I have had it happen to me at times. I have to clean the caches & reboot. That fixes it for me.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
I tried at first to clean the caches and reboot but that didn't help.
it seems the DATA section got somehow corrupted as I couldn't even run backup.
I had to wipe DATA and format SYSTEM and re-flash the rom.
Now I'm hesitant to try the new battery again.
There was no need to wipe data/factory reset,
Just to reflash kernel, i had similar issue, just when updated SuperSU through CWM mode
Hello.
I have a i9100 smartphone with stock XWLSW firmware. After last change of firmware I did not even root it. So it was all stock without root.
My battery was already in bad condition - from 9 AM till 2-4 PM it gets to 15%.
But anyway.
Yesterday it discharged to 1%, when I plugged charger into the phone. I left it working, and after a while I tried to turn the screen on, but the phone was not responding to power key. It was not turning on the screen, and long hold did not turn the phone on.
I unplugged the charger, took out battery and saw a small wet spot on sticker and on battery (maybe it leaked a bit).
Well, it was not the first priority at the moment, so I just wiped it, and put the battery back, then I turned the phone back ON.
It started, but now I have a boot loop at Samsung Logo. When the battery was still discharged I could hear the discharge signal after logo, and then the logo starts again, and discharge signal again, etc.
I left it in that state for a night with charger plugged in. In the morning - it was in the same condition.
Things I tried:
Removing battery for over 10 minutes, clearing Cache from recovery.
Both recovery and download modes are working.
So the question is - can I restore the phone without Factory reset?
If not - can I somehow backup my data (savegames, etc) before doing factory reset?
I just tried to update the firmware again using ODIN with no luck. It updated successfully, but than again hangs on Samsung Logo.
Rule 1: Don't complain until you haven't tried factory reset.So be a man,and do a full wipe.

What he said. Also, flash a 3 part firmware, which will also wipe your phone & has a funny habit of fixing situations like this.
I was going to do a Factory Reset or flash 3 part firmware, but only after I backup data. That was my main point of creating this thread - how to backup data in this situation.
Anyway, I did install Philz kernel, wiped dalvik cache, cache partition - it helped, but not for long. I saw my desktop, but after few seconds it went into boot loop again. I then did a Custom backup of data only, and did a Factory Reset through recovery.
Now I try to restore data to see what it will give me.
So i have been having pretty much the same problem with some little differences.
First my battery seems OK, no leaking no nothing, but it might just got old as I've got the phone for over 2 years now... Second, my bootloop occurs after full discharge, when i try to turn on the phone afterwards it just gets stuck on Galaxy SII logo, not even the boot, and stays that way no matter how long i wait. Third, at about the last 5-8% my screen starts flickering as if it wasn't getting enough electricity which shouldnt happen too and never happend before 4 months or so.
So lastly I've been getting this bootloop every now and then. Ive got a temporary fix by backing up my phone through recovery then wiping it clean and then restoring. But i just cant figure out why it does that.... I mean wipe helps, but i do restore everything afterwards....
Without restoring the problem still occurs so its not like i restore something deffective in the sw that makes this happen...
My Rooted Nexus 7 was working perfectly. Now I am not sure If it is Soft Bricked or something else is wrong with it, It was charging one day and I took it off one micro usb charger and put it on another Nexus 7 charger. I went back and turned it on, Now it was stuck in bootloop, I have seen bootloops before, but not like this. It turns on and goes to the lock screen, then after a few second it freezes then restarts. I have been able to quickly log in boot into safe mode but it still freezes and restarts, I made it to the app menu once and then it sad , Unfortunately Launcher has stopped, I have cleared the cache and dalvik cache and nothing works, I have bootloader version 4.1.3 and CWM version 6.0.1.9, I have tried to format tablet and factory reset with cwm recovery but when I turn it back on I still see my stuff and I still reboots, I have tried to restore from a backup from a while ago with cwm but it fails. I tried to use nexus toolkit but I dont remember my version and I cant check, I gave it a guess but It can not find my device when plugged in, even in recovery mode, It said something about fastboot but i think i did that but I am not 100% sure what it is, I need to get this workig again fast.
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.
The phone has successfully been flashed with a few different firmwares since the bootloop started occurring. the phone will only power on when the cable is plugged in but it will show the samsung screen and then start the "Installing system update" screen and then instantly go to "No command" and then boot back to the samsung screen to repeat the process. download mode is accessible but i cant get into recovery mode to reset the cache or perform a factory wipe.
The cable is fine and the usb port on the phone let me flash software via odin so i don't understand why it only powers on with a cable plugged in.
Could this be a battery issue? i'm very new to this website and the software end of phone repair stuff so any help is greatly appreciated!
i'm currently running 7.0 firmware G890AUCS7DRF2 from boxwares but the bootloop has been occurring since before i even tried to flash anything.
Also, all of my drivers seem to be up to date so i don't think that's posing any issues.
Thanks so much in advance!
Hi , try to clean the charging port of your phone with 100% alcohol and with clean toothbrush also you can use needle to clean the usb port contact.
Another what you can do is to put your phone into the charger for abot 30 minutes and see if your phone is become to hot on the back side what can be sign of bad charging port or probably dead battery .
