Sometimes if my phone freezes up and I need to do a battery pull my phone will randomly bootloop. This has happened to me about 3 or 4 times on all kinds of roms, tw and aosp. One time on a tw rom it ended up booting into the samsung setup wizard. It was weird because it didnt wipe my phone but all my apps were force closing if I opened them. The only fix was to wipe and flash again. This happened on Nephilim rom last. Also this has happened on several kernels. Has this happened to anyone else? Do you think this could be a hardware issue? Thanks in advance.
It's to my happened to me with certain ROM installs when I flashed dirty/without doing a factory reset prior to flashing.

No for me it had nothing to do with that. I could be coming from a clean install and pull my battery and my phone would just bootloop

Odin to stock and see if you can make it happen. If it doesn't happen on stock then it's something you have done while flashing. Are you using sd swap?

I mean I fix it by flashing another rom so I don't need to odin. Everything is okay so far. And no I'm not using SD swap. Just wanted to see too if anyone has experienced it. I have a feeling it has to do with my device I may get a replacement

I had to go back to stock rom because I couldn't stand the screen of death issue anymore. I used cm7 and miui and some other roms but the issue remained for them all. I have always done full wipes before flashing. I was last on cm7 and decided to play around with different kernels to see if this was the problem but issue remained for different kernels too. I even used kernel cleaner script but still no good. I was getting 3 sod's a day in the end so I went back to stock and took in an update through kies which removed root too. 3 day's now and no sod's. The issue is gone so why was it there? I have spent hours researching but have come up with nothing. Some get the issue most don't and no one has a fix is where it stands. Please reply if you have this issue too so I know your suffering like me lol.
Maybe it's an app you are using?
Thats a very very rare issue its either bad flashes or your phone if its on multiple roms .

I know I tried multiple versions of both cm7 and miui. What could cause the bad flashes? My clockworkmod or maybe the method I used to root in the first place?
If your using titanium backup to restore ur apps that could be ur problem. Not all the time but some roms read data differently and if you use backups to restore your phone you could be restoring with corrupt files.

Good morning guys. I'm having trouble with my Samsung galaxy SGH-I777. Every time I open an app that uses he camera (ie camera, barcode scanner, flashlight, camera) he flash goes off then it just reboots he phone. I've already done a factory restore. I even went into recovery mode and wipe cache and did a restore from there. I've also just downloaded the new ICS update and it still didn't fix the problem. Please help
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
when you say factory restore does that mean you completely wiped the phone and flashed back to stock rom. If not, that's what I would do to determine if we're looking at a hardware or software issue.
No I didn't flash it back to stock. How would I even do that?

I would flash back to stock. If it still does it, bring it in to at&t service center and show them. They can give you a replacement. Or you can call them. Just make sure your on non rooted stock firmware.
a full wipe and reflash is required before posting any problems. because99 % of the time it's user error. Did you fully wipe system, cache, data, and run the kernel cleaning scriptbefore posting this issue?

IF this is happening across roms, and assuming correct firmware, with a clean install (factory reset, no misc apps installed) then I'd say you have a hardware problem. If you've flashed incorrect firmware then a reset won't help you until you flash back to the correct firmware. Of course all of this moot if its physical damage caused by dropping the phone or maybe water damage. If you're completely stock and haven't subjected the phone to any physical abuse, then return the phone for a new one.

Have you tried flashing a stock ROM from TWRP?
-------edit----------
I just remembered. This used to happen on the Note 2 at times. If you're booting and get the Samsung splash screen, try going to TWRP and doing a Factory Reset a couple times. No idea if it will work, but with the Note that would usually clear whatever block existed and allow the ROM to boot past the splash screen. Good luck.

If it exists, it would basically be that ROM stuck into a .zip file which could be flashed from TWRP. I'm not sure it exists, was just browsing the Dev thread for you to see if anyone posted it. There is a version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292707 , but I'm not familiar with Loki enough to say whether or not you have it.

If Odin isn't working for you, a solution might be had via TWRP since you can still get into the recovery. If you flash your ROM or try your backup, does the install complete or does it crash? Have you wiped cache, dalvik, system, and data before the flash?
-edit-
Sorry, just saw your OP where you said you wiped and tried. If I were you my next step would be trying a different ROM just to see if you can get something booting.

Trying again. First wiping wiped cache, dalvik, system, and data , then restoring back up. I've tried this multiple times before hopefully it works this time. But generally when i hit reboot system afterward it just hangs at the Samsung Galaxy IV boot screen and does nothing.

After your backup restores, try using TWRP to do a Factory Reset a couple times before rebooting. Also wipe cache/dalvik again before the boot.

Well went to restart the phone and now its stuck on a Samsung logo with a unlocked icon thats says custom underneath it and just sits there.
So the problem started when I flashed a 4.3 rom last friday. I formatted my internal memory in recovery mode because for some reason I only had 4 gigs of space and had moved everything over to the sd card. Once that was done phone said like 8 gigs available and thought everything was fixed. Well now if I turn off my phone it gets stuck in some kind of bootloop but it's not looping. It's just sits at the Samsung unlock symbol and custom screen. Doesn't loop just sits there. So one day I decided to format the internal memory again and the phone boots up like normal, but I can't power off the phone without going into recovery and formatting the internal memory every time. Any ideas on what is causing it or how I can make the Samsung custom boot stock instead so I can send it out.
I also have tried flashing another 4.3 rom and it doesn't seem to go away either.
I'm not an expert on how they have to make this stuff work with the mdk bootloader but I'm sure it's not hardware related. Have you tried flashing back to a 4.2 rom?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
Downloading one now hopefully it will fix it.
Which recovery are you using? Make sure to wipe data, cache, and dalvik 3x each, then flash your rom

TWRP and I flashed hyperdrive still no luck still freezing in the same spot and have to actually format to get past it.

Yep that's the only one I've never had any issues with. TWRP 2.5.0.2
Edit: If your still having issues you could always Odin back with Stock firmware and get a clean start. I know its a pain lol

Well if it doesn't turn on after flashing stock firmware via Odin, you'll know its a hardware issue with it and your warranty should cover a new replacement.

I had this issue when I first got my phone. I bought it off Swappa, it was already running TWRP 2.5.0.2, giving me nothing but problems. I switch to Philz Touch and no longer have the issue.
I have a note 2 that I kept stock for a long time. And decided to root it about a week ago. I used the latest casual one click root. And it seemed all dandy initially until i went between a few different roms and it decided it wanted to shut off randomly and not boot back up past the note 2 screen on its own. But the odd part was it booted while connected to the wall or to the computer. So I flashed to 4.1.2 stock via odin and the issue still remains. I can only use it fine on charger. Is there something else im missing on flashing back to stock?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Free mobile app
Hmm when you installed 4.3 did you do so wiping everything could be an app causing the problem. Try it from brand new with no apps installed and see if that helps. Could be also a radio issue as well.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
Yeah I wiped everything. Actually used odin twice to revert to stock 4.1.2. I tried a few cm nightlies before it began. Is there anything else I should flash on top of whats already been done?

I've found that even after using ODIN to go back to stock 4.1.2, that there's still leftover data on the phone from custom ROM's. I've read where others had the same issue. I don't know why Odin doesn't seem to fully wipe everything ... but this has been my personal experience.
The way I've fixed this (and all this may not be necessary).. . is that after Odin'ing back to stock 4.1.2, I boot into stock recovery, then do a full factory reset and wipe cache. Then I booted into the stock Rom and used the bypass setup trick (touch the left side of the screen right above Emergency... then right side, then left, then right again, and then volume up... this should bypass setup to save time).
Then went into phone's settings and performed a factory reset from within the stock Rom too...
Finally... (because I'm a bit OCD... so this is probably not necessary), but I ODIN'd back to stock 4.1.2 one more time and then proceeded with using CASUAL again to root /unlock the bootloader).
I know this is a pain in the butt... but this has worked for me. Maybe others will have some better suggestions.
(Edit : Forgot to mention that if you're not wanting to return to stock to start over again... check out this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53624921) on how to flash a stock recovery for the purposes of doing a proper data wipe... then can you odin your custom recovery back to the device without having to fully restore to stock... this can be a real time saver. Please make sure to thank the OP for the helpful info).
So in the end I tried to reset from stock recovery and wipe cache. Than do a reset from the settings and the issue presisted. But now I have root and recovery as well. So I may give a rom a try.

This is totally a guess, but I'm thinking that you may have a battery problem... and it's just a coincidence that these problems started happening around the same time that you rooted. You may try replacing the battery to see if that fixes things.... (you can get one pretty cheap off ebay or Amazon).
Yeah thats odd. I had bought another battery from a phone store I use to work at and have no issues now, back on 4.1.1 rooted.
