Hey guys,
So my problem started 2 days ago.I had lollipop from the archi weekly and the last update i suddenly got random reboots and later that day it started with a constant boot loop and if i get lucky i can start my phone for a minute and then again the same thing.So i had problems with going to recovery/download mode even there i got boot loops.However,i took another battery from a friend of mine and i managed to get in recovery and delete dalvik/cache.But didnt work.So i read and realized i had to install stock rom and i did now i am with jelly bean and even now i sometimes get boot loops and after a while everything is fine.So i have a coupe of questions:
1.Is it possible that the problem might come from the battery?
2.Even now with this rom my sim card is not working,i cant call anyone how can i fix it?
3.How to fix everything ?
Thank you.
Edit: i did also a factory reset.
1. A broken battery max causes random boots. A broken power-button too. Test it with your friend's battery.
2. You probably lost your IMEI.
when i write *#06# i have IMEI number so i guess this means i havent lost it?
Compare with IMEI on label behind battery. If it's the same, you win.
well is not the same so i dont win what does it mean?
It means, it's a factory-IMEI: worthless.
Perhaps this helps.

i bought a phone off ebay in december. the phone was working well and then i decided to start installing different Roms on my phone. the phone was not s-off when i was installing these roms. about two weeks ago my phone just started to restart. it does not stay on for more than a minute before it restarts and i have no idea why it is happening. i would really appreciate any help in this matter because it is really frustrating. i think it is a software problem because the phone does not restart when it is in recovery mode or if it is in bootloader mode. if there is anything...anything at all you can do to help me it would be greatly appreciated.

It would nice if you put a title to your thread instead of just [Q].
Anyway, if you suspect its a software problem, why not just flash back to stock and see if it persists? If the problem is still there, then it's most likely a hardware issue. I would replace the battery first.
Sorry about that .. it was the first time i posted something and wasn't really sure what to do. and i replaced the battery and the problem is still there .. i flashed and it still restarted. the weird thing is that if i'm doing something it doesn't restart. like if i'm using the phone as a hotspot it doesn't restart. but as soon as i stop it restarts. or if i'm using the camera it doesn't restart.
Did you wipe/format everything before flashing/flashing back to stock? Are you on CWM or EXT4? Some more details would be helpful.
yes i did that. i used superwipe. i am also 4EX and i S-off the device also. i tried installing the stock rom but it didnt work. it is confusing because once i am in recovery the phone stays on. but as soon as i turn it on it just keeps restarting. the phone boots up and then restarts.
Hi everyone! Kinda my first post here so be gentle
I have a S3 which i rooted almost instantly when i purchased it a year ago. Haven't had any kind of problems with it until now. Over the year i've tried most of the roms out there but now i decided to try the rom called "illusion" (don't know if this problem is related tho!)
It was working fine for a couple of days but suddenly today my phone started bootloopin. I can't even go into CWM or download mode. Sometimes it can stay in CWM och even boot up but after like 2 minutes it restarts again. I've managed to wipe everything once but no change. Was able to install a new rom BARELY, then it restarted again. I've tried remove SD and/or SIM but no change. Ain't working with a usbcable either.
What can I do? Seeing that I can't stay in download mode to use ODIN.
I'd appreciate any help.
a USB recovery jig may be your best shot otherwise its a service center repair
I have 2 phones.
1 old.
1 new.
I nandroided the old(nuetrino rom) and installed on the new.
Turned on the new and it all worked.
Rebooted the new and it all worked.
For whatever reason i changed roms, then reinstalled the original nandroid on the new. and bootloop. after I tried ~80times to reboot it worked. Then when I rebooted it bootlooped again. ~80 tries more it worked. Now I think this might sound crazy but the only times it turns on is when the battery is at 100%?
I just charged the battery to 100% and tried again and it worked.
Could this be possible? If so what should I do? Otherwise if not so why is it boot looping ~80 times then working!! What problems could arrise from nandroiding one phone to the other. I noticed the android ID's are the same, and also the hostnames are the same? could this be causing a problem during the init scripts? would changing this help?
Or is this a problem with the new phone?
The bootloop occurs after finishing the bootlogo and right before you normally go to the phones "desktop"
Also if I nandroid a copy of CM10.1 from the old phone to the new it never bootloops. But if I manually try to install Neutrino.zip via CWM it does bootloop.
Ok battery at 100% wasnt the solution.. but i still think this is related to battery?
Also I see ro.bootloader=unknown
Is that normal for the bootloader to be unknown?

I just switched roms since having to reboot 80 times to get things working was annoying, but ill leave this thread open in the hopes someone knows what was happening.
I cant seem to get nuetrino rom working without the bootloops on my new phone, it had nothing to do with the nandroid. every other nandroid from my old phone works except nandroids of nuetrino rom.
EDIT: If a mod sees this feel free to delete this thread. The problem magically went away, well I don't know what happened. I just waited a few days then tried the same steps again and it appears to be working now with the same nandroid. Sorry to anyones time who I waisted.
Hi guys.
I've encountered an issue very annoying and bad on this phone(i9100)!
If the phone's battery empties to 0% and it's not put to charge right away, the phone won't ever boot anymore the next time you charge it. It just stays on the "Samsung Galaxy" screen.
I go to recovery and reset it to factory, delete cache, etc, still nothing. If I rewrite the firmware it works and boots. But if I repeat the same thing and let the battery drain out to 0% again, it won't boot anymore.
Did anyone had this issue before? For me it is new. And I wanted to sell the phone too... The poor guy who buys it and stumbles upon this ****, will yell at me for giving him a broken phone...
Is there any way to fix this problem? Help me please, just this once.
The phone is on stock rom, 4.1.2.
EDIT:
Cool, and after a couple of factory resets, it finally booted. But now it asks for sim code??! WTF is wrong with this phone? The stock rom is unlocked, why would it ask for the sim code?
Hello guys, I have a serious predicament that needs to be solved.
I haven't did anything major to my phone in years so the past couple days have been a nightmare. Ever since I did a wipe of cache partition after trying to get rid of this "unfortunately, contacts stopped working." message, it's sent my phone into a spiraling disaster. (I have been using stock 5.0 rooted rom for at least a year so idk why the sudden issues)
I've literally tried every method imaginable. I even tried flashing with different versions of Odin and still the exact same problems.
I can get my phone into DL mode easily but Recovery mode only works if I have the phone plugged in at this point (Actually, it seems like the only time when my phone wants to work)
Every time I'm done flashing, it'll load all the way up to the T-Mobile screen then restart the loop all over again :/
Really need help seeing as I need to get this situation handled before work today, thanks!
Nevermind, after more research, I decided to order a new battery and the problem is solved.
Bootloop solved with replacement battery

A replacement battery also solved my boot loop issue. Prior to replacement, it would boot to Galaxy S5 screen, and then reboot. Replaced battery and boots. Put the old battery back in, and it boot looped.
