[Q] HELP! My SGS3 is rebooting endlessly, bootloop? :( - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my phone is having a problem, not sure if it is a bootloop or what Whenever my I tried to reboot my phone, it'll show my desktop for about 2-3 seconds then it reboots again and again. I have to removed my battery for about 30 minutes then put it back on and if im lucky, it'll boot successfully. Then when I play COC or used FB with my data network, it suddenly reboots, so another endless boot
I'm out of idea what to do, so please help me Here are the things I've tried:
1. Flashed stock rom from sam mobile through Odin
2. Factory reset in stock rom
3. Delete cache/dalvik and factory reset in stock recovery
4. Factory reset in TWRP (latest version) & advance wipe including my internal SD
5. Flash stock rom using KIES
But still no chance of getting out of this rebooting issue Is my phone damaged cause of too much flashing? Is the "FORMAT" option under the "WIPE" section in TWRP safe? and what will happen if I format?
thanks! :angel:

I have seen many posts like yours before and I don't think this is a software issue ( especially after you have flashed stock rom) It looks like your power button keeps getting stuck I recommend replacing it.

Agreed, flashing stock should solve it but seeing as it hasn't..
It seems on the power rail if you apply common sense, power button or battery failing would be my first 2.

I've had this issue on my S3 and it turned out to be the push button was stuck. You could try tapping the button against the desk to see if it can "loosen" up the button for you

hey guys. I don't think it was the power button? because after a few minutes I removed my battery and put it back on, it boots successfully. One more thing, my phones LED is replace on a samsung care center a month ago, so most of the hardware are brandnew including the power button.
Have you guys ever tried the "FORMAT" option in the TWRP? Hoping it would solve my problem

Its quite easy to solve do a megawipe >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/tool-mega-wipesuper-wipefactory-t1832326 << this will wipe/format everything that could cause a software issue (Make sure you have a rom on ext SD because It deletes the Data, Cache, System and Preload partitions of your internal memory BE WARNED!) If that does not work then change battery if that fails to work it is hardware issue (maybe power button was not put back correctly or other hardware issue) But to be honest this is looking more and more like a hardware issue.:crying:

hey guys! One more observation, whenever my phone boots up successfully, it is working just fine. I can update the apps in the new rom through Play store. But when the apps requested permission for Google play services and I tap on it, it automatically reboots my phone. When I tried to login to my FB account using the apps in the playstore, it happen the same thing. On the other hand, when I use the stock browser, nothing seems to have a problem.
So, what's with the google play services?

sgs2 over night dead?

hey,
prehisory:
last night, my phone were somewhere in my bed, cus i fell asleep. the wohle night i'm charging my phone always.
(happened a few times, but i think this time i slept over my phone)
next morning i woke up, picked up the phone & wanted to use it, but it got a freeze screen, was medium-temperatured (not more than a little gaming).
didn't thought anything bad, i pulled out my micro usb charger and forced a restart by contiounsly press power.
problem now:
it booted up as normal but it took really longer than usual. it seemed to freeze sometimes during boot, sometimes i canceled booting, and tried another time..
really really strange behaviors happened, but after a long time just let the phone boot, i got dropped to my homescreeen. all was looking good except the whole status bar just wasn't there. damn.. but ok, tried another 1-2 boots, to see if it get stable after a while but that doens't changed anything..
i can't eitgher get into CWM, just into download mode.
ideas?
i thought overheated but i guess that my phone either would'nt boot up (cpu burned) or stays at black screen (gpu burned)?
so i tried getting into CWM which doesn't worked. then i flashed official samsung ics via odin -> boots up till the coulorized "S" appears, stays in this state, and keep bootlooping (see this when the animation starts by this kind of flowers again)
tried another older stock rom, the same. stock kernel, the same, cf-root with CWM4, the same, i cant even then get in CWM..
any idea??
i'm goin crazy on this.. too much money wasted if this wont work -.-

Which part of "i can't eitgher get into CWM, just into download mode. " did you not understand?
OP:
Just flash a ICS rom for now and later you can try to see if it works or not. (CWM)
Have a good day.
Can you get stock recovery?
From Odin flash cwm, not the CFRoot one. than try it, strange you can get download mode but not recovery.
You have to wipe to get rid of boot loop

so, finally i got it back,
did this howto: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
so now i'm back on stock ICS samsungs rom.
flashed the suitable CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5.tar
but now i can't access the CWM menue, by pressing power, vol up, home
?
When you say you can't access recovery, what's happening?
PROBLEM SOLVED
YOU FORGOT TO USE THE HOME KEY
1. Put 1 finger on home
2. Put 1 finger on volume up
3. Put 1 finger on top of power
4. Press them all together, and as soon as you see the anything on the screen, let go of everything

i did, it doesnt accessed cwm. never mind tryin around solved it.
now all fresh installed off samsungs official, but it isnt as good as before:
still slow bootup, and my status-bar is missing after booting (using latest miui which i also had before this problem, so formerly it was working)
after bootup, touch keys and all other won't response, so if bootup to lockscreen -> wait til screen goes off -> u cant wake the phone, or u have to wait a while maybe it light up for some reason.
any ideas?
hardware damage? i hope not..
no i think you need a good wipeing. but you need to find a way to get into download mode, dont give up try it 3 more time's, dont keep pressing the after the buttons logo apears
try this or its hardware............ you do any deviation and you are on your own.
remove your external sdcard and dont put it back until you are sure your phone works
as per your above post you can access cwm
1: format data / cache / system / sdcard or emmc [system is a must]
2: format preboot / boot [cwm 5.5 or some alternat if option available]
3: download stock i9100 ROM from checkfus (prefer) or sammobile
4: flash using odin, after first boot dial *2767*3855#
5: do not sign in, use for half hour or so, if you think it works sign in to google.
6: do not restore any thing, no titanium backups/restores
7: do not put your sdcard
if your phone works now you know its not hardware now do whatever
thanks mate you strength my opinion and hope that it isn't hardware.
i already had an stock ICS samsung rom on it, with sd mounted all worked fluently and well. (LPH rom). so i flashed a suitable CF-root with CWM, get in there, flashed custom ROM (latest miui + siyah kernel, the same combination i used for month and it worked).
so but what causes these problems i have? before it was fast booting and stable, now slow and the status bar is missing, the rom wont boot up in a normal way, i have to "bully" my phone while boot that i can see the desktop..
?
And your problem suddenly changed!
Custom ROM issues, download again, download something else, wipe, flash again.

If you can get back into recovery mode, try reflashing the rom or flashing another rom. I've had cases where a rom just wouldn't work for me (I too, have the AT&T Note). Never had the patience to try to figure out why. I usually try to flash several times (making sure I do a factory wipe) but if it still didn't work, I would just flash another rom.
If you can't get into recovery mode, then you may need to flash a stock rom via ODIN (in download mode) and then start all over from scratch (root the phone, install CMW or TWRP,flash custom rom, etc.). Please search the forums for a stock rom and all the files / instructions on flashing via ODIN if you aren't already familiar with it.
Since your PC recognizes the phone to some degree (it at least recognizes that the phone was connected and interacts with the sd card), it sounds like you have a soft brick which is fixable via one of the methods above. If your phone was hard bricked, then the PC more than likely wouldn't recognize it at all, it would do absolutely nothing and you would basically have a paper weight. It doesn't sound like you have a hard brick.
If anyone else has more insight, please chime in. I'm definitely no expert here.
it wont even light up to samsung logo or even vibrate also the sd is recognised but it randomly connects and disconnects odin does not see phone

Perhaps your cable is defective. All of my cables eventually get to the point where I have to twist them and hold them a certain way to work. When that happens I know it's time to replace the cable. You may just need to use another cable.
no i tried with 2 differnt cables also battery was at like 99% when this happened also windows keeps finding my sd for a moment and then vanishes could this be stuck power button? if so i dont see how i didnt touch power button when it rebooted

Suddenly there are Pixels :/ (Bricked?)

So today I wanted to unlock my Phone with the PIN-Code, suddenly the resolution of the Samsung Galaxy S3 changed to a minimal resoultion and went to the top of the Screen, I couldn't restart because I didn't see the Power-Off "function".
So I took the battery out of the phone, waited some time, and put it back in, then there was the same problem and I couldn't do anything, so I thought it's maybe a Software Issue, so I went to the Download-Mode (Volume Down + Home Button + Power Off/On then pressed again Volume Down to get into the Mode, btw I couldn't see anything expect the red "!" at the Top.
So I reseted my Phone to the default Firmware (I had CM10.1) with Odin, and the Problem was still there, so I thought you guys could help me maybe ;/
Is it a Hardware Issue or a Softer Issue?
Do I still have a gurante?
What do I have to do?
The phone is like 4-5 months old btw.
Thank you!
//First it happens like in "Photo_2" then some time later it happens like in "Photo_1".
Guys, please help me :/
Looks like hardware failure to me, you have tried flashing stock Rom, did you factory reset after the flash?

You will get no help by not following the rules and bumping posts .
You have no warranty.
Flash stock rom via Odin and read the return for warranty how to post .

Well I can't see anything so no I couldn't do a factory reset, and I heard that if you got a Hardware Issue that you will get a gurante, is that correct?

No.
Root or custom rom or certain types of damage void warranty .
Phone unable to power on then its likely that root would never be noticed .

Well you can Power on it, but if you go into the DownloadMode you can't see how often I flashed my i9300 (or let's say you can't see if i flashed my phone), so will they notice that I flashed it somehow?
can you go into recovery by holding the power+ volume up button?

Black update killed my 920

I installed the black update for my 920 & afterwards it completely froze up at the lock screen. So I rebooted it using the held down power button & down volume key method & the same thing happened & kept happening no matter how many times I tried this. So I tried powering it off in small moment it was active & the same thing happened it froze on shutdown with the goodbye message now permanently stuck on the screen.
Anyone know how I can recover my 920 in these circumstances?

I wondered why it happened is the install corrupted?
maybe some error on memory or maybe battery is low and during flashing shut down phone... this happened to some people...

if you did the OTA update, after the first reboot, it then loads the initial lock screen, you should have been able to unlock it. At this point you'll get a screen that says "migrating data" This usually takes about 5-10 minutes depending on how much storage you have in use. Then it reboots again and you're up an running.
May have just been a bad / corrupt file, but the manual flash should fix everything.
I wonder if it was because I got a service message from my network at the same time as it saw it as a new handset.
Sorry for the double post but just to say NSU did the trick oddly it didn't install the latest software as afterwards it was still saying there was an update to install on the phone update on the phone itself. Would think this update would come from the same servers.
Guys can yo tell me what are the differences between plain custom ROM and Roger's ROM..
Well I tried to do the update twice more with the same result each time.
Anyone any ideas on this?

No. Unless you count any slow trickle charge from the PC whilst flashing. TBH because of all the reboots I had lost track of the battery charge on the last flashing attempt.
Latest is on the latest flashing attempt it updated it to Black over NSU. Some of the apps seem OK, some open but freeze & others such as the camera & messaging seem to be missing. Also every time I turn it off it freezes up & has to be rebooted.
Just what is going on with it?
Is there anyway of getting the NSU to re-install the Amber software rather than keep trying to upgrade to the Black version?

Yes it may be that you were no outdated. NSU re-install the latest version available of your Hard Product Code of your device, since/from the Nokia Server. But that does not mean that you have the latest update as Lumia Black, for example.

Roger's is the official rom for devices sold by Roger's, custom is the rom developed by people unofficially authorized by Micro$soft or Nokia.

Bootloop, Not rooted

So my phone started restarting randomly. It will only show the Samsung logo turn off and do the same thing again. Its not rooted and I am pretty sure that its not from something I installed recently (Everything was from the play store and no immediate problems after any of them). When I did the hold volume up,down and power it would only keep on restarting still. But when I just hold volume down it comes to something else that asks if I want to install a new rom. So I was wondering what I should do. Install a new ROM and then revert back ? or will that not work? Also I have a extra I717 with a broken screen I could swap the insides and see if that would help. Also I don't know much about rooting and stuffs. Lemme know what I should do guys! :highfive:

Take out the battery. Insert the battery without touching anything else. Does it just power on itself or does it stay off? If it does turn on, you might have a stuck power button. Let us know what happens
did that too :/
I did that too. It would turn off and on again but only show the Samsung logo then restart again. Also I have the case removed so It cant be the power button being stuck and I have tried the battery thing still nothing.
Whatcha mean? It would turn on by itself once the battery is inserted or you would have to press the power button. Once the battery is out and then inserted back in, it is not supposed to be powered on by itstelf. If it does turn on by itself, then the power button is most likely pressed in.

I have a I717 doing the same thing. (Eg. device boots and seems to function for a about 2 minutes locks up and reboots. )
As the device was stock when it started having this issue I figured it might be an OS issue Factory reset to it would leave the device booting to optimize applications then reboot. Checked power button checked it was clean.
Also staied on when in recovery without issue.
As I figured this was an OS issue I installed CWM
Downloaded and installed SlimBeam
Device booted and completed instlation and operated for about 2 minutes and rebooted.
Device will does not have any issues with in CWM or Odin. I
I read alsowhere that the internal SD-Card filesystem might have become corrupted and need to be reformated however I have yet to find instruction or confirmantion.
Anyone have some ideas?
.
to Tal Star.
1. When you were in CWM and were about to flash, did you wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache then do the flash? Or just flash?
2. So either os it would do the same? Stay on for about two minutes, then reboot? Would it reboot back into the os and do the same?

So right now you can boot up into the os and it will turn off in 2 minutes? or just given enough time? Will it boot into the os each time? I dont think ill have an answer for it, but i bet someone that does will want to know the same things to possibly narrow it down

Naw it starts optimzing the Applications and lasts a few minutes reboots locks up and starts again. SlimBean completes the process and makes it all the way to the launcher but after a same amount of time it reboots. back to the launcher. (Slim bean has a resonable number less Apps and that's why it completes or is my best guess)

I really wouldnt know about that. Hopefully someone will come by and help you out. I wonder being on the latest recovery would help if youre not already and then doing it all over? Hopefully someone more experienced will chime in.
Could be a corrupt download.
Again, I always flash rom 2 times. You can get different reactions from 2 seperate flashes. 2 time seems to get a more solid installation.
Wait your 10 and reboot.
Still think its a power button issue. It can act normal but still be the problem. Hows you battery?

Still think its a power button issue. It can act normal but still be the problem. Hows you battery?

I dobut it's a download. I use CWM to flash from an external SD card. However I did try reflashing like you suggest with no change. The battery is fine as far as I can tell, like I said it will stay online in recovery on battery for what seems like forever.

HAAAAA I hope some one finds this trouble... having the same issue Here... Does your phone starts up correctly when sim card removed? Mine does when sim card removed and pluged into coputer or wall plug.... Did the same steps you did with no effect either... could it be a power management problem ??? :silly: This is getting me nuts...

Nope I am working on the one I have with the SIM Card out & SD card out.
happens
So what I done so far is taken out the sim and sd card. Took out the battery put it back in and when I power to turn it on It vibrates (like it normaly would when it starts) then shows Samsung logo turns off and loops. I tried doing the hold volume up down power thing and it does not work. But what does work is when I hold volume down it takes me to a custom OS thing. I don't know what that is but I cant get there. So maybe put a custom OS in and then revert it back?
So I used Odin and put 4.1.2 Jelly Bean Official Firmware but its still doing what it was doing before.Used 3.07 and it said it passed fine. Should I try a different rom or something else? Also the first time it starts up after installing the rom it goes past the logo to the ATT ball animation logo freeze there and turns of then when I turn it on from there it will loop at the samsung logo again.
You can try the firmware upgrade and initialization feature in kies. It will return your device to the original factory firmware, software, and settings. If it still loops after that you have hardware issues.
Ok so I guess im making progress now. After I put the stock rom (Different one from befor) It DIDNT BOOT LOOP well it did but only looped 3 times then stoped. Also there are 2 Samsung logos. the frist one was just normal logo ( same one I was having befor ) then the screen turns off and shows the same logo but this time its a little bigger its white with a blue glow! ( Made it further this time but still crashes afterwards) BUT now I can actualy get into the Manual mode. I did a wipe data/factory reset in that mode which didnt help i wiped the cache too. Still didnt help.
Now in manual mode my computer does recognize that something is connected to it now but it tries to configure it and keeps on failing. And so samsun kies cant connect to it either.
But from where I started at its a improvement
My Note is doing the same thing too now, but I know the reason why. I was trying to install clockworkmodrecovery so I would be able to upgrade to jellybean and I think I flashed a kernel that was meant for rooted phones (pretty dumb of me I guess). So now the phone is stuck and I'm going to try to install the original jellybean 4.1.2 for rogers and hopefully that will fix it.
As long as you can get into Odin download mode, your phone can be fixed.
