Hi guys!
It is a bit crazy story so I will give you some details about it ...
I have an Ace 3 Duos GT-S7272 crazy device. I used to have so many issues with it but managed to solve it such as when I encrypted the external SDcard and it was the stupidest thing to do in an Android (cause it didn't actually encrypt a shi*) it just caused my phone to stuck in a bootloop as long as any SDcard is in it, remove it and all will work fine
- ((I somehow managed to fix it and it worked with SDcard but it used to reboot once then on the second boot it was almost perfect!))
- one day out of a sudden, stuck in a strange bootloop!! it boots fine to the startup and I can use it normally for 2 to 4 seconds and it REBOOTS again and again!
- I wiped cache didn't work ,,, still bootlooping
- I tried Safe Mode the same bootlooping
- I am leaving the Factory Reset option as my last resort and I am seeking your help guys so I don't lose my really important information on it !
- it is rooted ((but as I googled around I get the stock menu of Vup+M+power))
- I don't have a back up ((I have bad experiences with Backups))
- I strongly think that it can be saved without losing my information, cause it starts up normally for few seconds ((2 to 4)) and I could change things like Airplane Mode on/off
I really appreciate any help guys,,, I have been googling for days about this

ok,30 minutes ago my gs3 was next to me and I had music on then all of a sudden the ''Samsung Galaxy S III" splash screen appeared.It kept appearing and disappearing so I took the battery out for a while then inserted it and it turned on.5 minutes later the same thing happened and now it is working again but well this might happen again.What could be the problem ? can it be SDS ? but I had my gs3 for a year and a half so I doubt that.I'm running wanamlite 4.1.2,have been using this rom for almost a year.(except for trying out a few other roms sometimes).
Reflash your rom, try first without a wipe.

You can try this:-
Go to recovery and do factory reset. (You will loose all software installed by you, may b contact & sms too)
Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache
Tried a factory reset and tried restoring to a an old backup,didn't help.I didn't try reflashing the rom, I doubt it will work because restoring to a backup that was working fine didn't help either.I'm thinking about giving it to samsung,hope they won't blame rooting and custom rom for the problem but I'm out of warranty period anyways.
Try another rom! But with a clean install! don't restore your nadroid backup data, use Titanium Backup for your apps.
I noticed that it happens when I actually use the phone(like for a few minutes) but when it's idle,it operates normally.
I don't have any other roms right now and I can't download any because my internet is limited currently.
UPDATE: It looks like the problem is the power button because when the phone does boot,the boot menu keeps showing up and when I pull the battery and insert it again,it boots automatically.I will get it fixed,thanks all.
Hi umm I'm starting this thread because the threads that I saw didn't refer to my problem. A day or so ago I system restored my phone and it was lagging and randomly soft rebooted that lag continued into the CWM backup I had after restoring everything (this time the stuff in my CWM as well) it stopped lagging. But now I get random stutter/freee which results in a softboot which turns off my wifi and data so I was wondering if anyone had this problem before and could help I'd really appreciate. I'm on a rooted stock rom with a locked bootloader if that matters.
My i9300 seems to have lost control on (soft?) boot:
- I flashed a 5.1 omni ROM that made me very happy because really stable enough for me to use multiple apps at same time.
- One week after, I started getting unwanted soft reboots (skips Samsung boot screen), leaving me approx 40s of system use before 5s freeze followed by reboot.
- These soft reboots are weird: if I force shutdown (power menu OR removing battery), the phone boots anyway, by itself!! And I think this is still soft boot because it still skips Samsung boot screen.
Additional info:
- I wondered if my power button was messed up but I don't think so: I would not have this freeze before reboot, plus I have no reboot while in recovery.
- I saw some SMS problems: received one from my provider, and I kept receiving it again at each reboot (same one 50+ times). Any link possible?
What I tried without success:
- Remove SIM and SD card
- Remove battery for a day
- Change battery
- Re-flash recovery
- Wipe System + Data + Dalvik/Cache then install paranoid android (now I can't even boot in anything else than recovery btw)
I'm lacking android system knowledge but it looks like there is a location in "soft reboot zone" that is locked, and the phone keeps reading it and rebooting infinitely. Is there a way to clean this? To forbid soft reboot maybe? Note that I've been flashing various roms for 3 years on this phone and I never saw anything alike.
Any advice is welcome, thank you for caring !

That SMS thing is strange
Have you tried another recovery version? Or perhaps changing recovery? This isn't a normal issue, since you already tried installing another ROM.... You can try another Kernel either
If none of this works, consider flashing the original Samsung's ROM or some samsung-based ROM (they usually do a nice clean-up, at least for me these ROMs fixes the majority of my problems)
@blint6:
1. Maybe the hardware though. This you can test by flashing actual firmware and running it under normal conditions for 1d.
2. Reboot is a known reaction to RAM-lack on LP, too. Flash Omni cleanly and run it for 1d without GApps and bigger apps.
Hey guys! This is my first thread here, but I knew this site before. I've got an M4 Aqua E2303, Android 5.0, Build 26.1.A.2.167 (upgraded from .99 with TWRP to keep the root.).
The story : I've got this phone like 4 months ago, I was so happy etc... After it updated to 5.0 it kept restarting randomly. Total random, when it was not under using, if I use it, it does not restart itself. Sometimes the restarts occurs when it's under charging, and sometimes when I want to unlock it and use it, and sometimes total randomly, and sometimes it shuts down. For different verions the problem was different too. On 26.1.A.2.99 it was the worst, it restarded and stuck on the boot screen until reached 0% battery. On 26.1.A.2.128 It turend off the screen, but the phone was running and the LED was red (even when fully charged) and only started with the hard off button in the SD card slot.
I've got the default "Diagnostics" app, now it says that the Phone got system errors 42 times in 10 days. It was worse before (over 140). But it doesn't say why did it restart, I'm hoping for help from any of you, who had this issue and solved it, or someone who knows a better diagnostic tool that will explain what caused the system fault.
I appreciate all the helps!
Have you performed a factory reset? (It will delete all your data and apps)

Yes, when the phone was new and the restarts were annoying. It fixed it for 1 day. The next day it was restarting again.
This would point to an app you've installed causing the issue. Factory reset again and install each app one by one until the restarts happen to find out which.

If you used the pre-rooted zip to maintain root while updating to the latest android, this will fix your rebooting problem. Follow this guide:

Will try it when I'll have time for it, thanks for the help!
Sup guys, so i just had a really strange problem that popped out randomly, i was watching a youtube video and i had to help a person quickly and when i came back just a minute later i saw my phone showing encryption unsuccessfull when i pressed the power button to turn my screen on. Well it said to factory reset my phone, i don't store any important data on my phone anyways so i just went for it, and it restarted went to my TWRP recovery and tried factory reseting it, to no success. It basically failed to access /data/ and other directories and i can't see any files in them through recovery. And so i can't even factory reset it, i can't install a ROM cause the partition is corrupt i assume. How can i "unbrick" this? I was running the good old Temaseks CM 12.1 ROM, has been working fine for a looong time. My PC recognizes the phone but i can't access any data, it just shows that it's connected, odin doesn't recognize it.
Can somebody help me please ? I use my phone alot and it's really important.
