Install Latest OTA (device is untouched) Now stuck @ Samsung logo. This will be the 4th time I have had to do a factory reset of this device. Any other suggestion. I mean if every time it power cycles I have to do a factory reset what is the point in having the device.

Same exact thing happened to me too. I was trying to hold off on installing a custom recovery and OS until things got stable. I can't believe how crappy this tablet is for the cost. I mean it doesn't even have some of the features of the S7 phone and that a 2 year old device. Really disappointed

You need to give some updates time to boot.
Some updates make major changes to the firmware.
Unless you have waited at least ten minutes I wouldn't assume that the update has failed.

Then I would say you have a rogue app installed that is causing the issue if you have to factory reset after each reboot.
I take it everything boots up fine after a factory reset?

Yes it boots fine after factory reset. The reason why I said after a power cycle it fails is because its not only after a firmware upgrade.. As most people know this device has a battery drain bug. My device has drained the battery to the point it turns off. After fully recharging it, it will not boot past the Samsung logo. That has happened twice. And twice it has failed to boot after FW upgrades. It has successfully done 1 FW upgrade as far as I can remember. As for a rogue app... I don't have any apps that I have not had on other devices.

If you have already re-flashed the firmware with no improvement then it must be a hardware issue. If it's still under warranty I would file a warranty claim.
Yeah I just restarted it and it bricked again!! I am so done with this POS. I have had rooted devices more reliable.

Okay so I've had my s3 for quiet a while but never actually used it properly until today.
First issue was it didn't get past the samsung boot logo, it showed the carriers boot logo( three UK) followed by the samsung one but didn't go any further.
I thought oh crap I guess it's time for a reset. I do the usual factory reset through recovery mode. But noticed that it started saying E:/ removed or something.
Now not only no network carrier to be seen but stuck in samsung i9300 screen. Boot loop.
Next action fire up Odin and see if I can use the (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610) to get back and downloaded THREE different firmware as I wasn't sure of which one to download as I couldn't access my settings.
Next thing I know Odin says pass but it is on this constant loop of green android man and samsung!!!
I removed the cable and closed Odin but still stuck on it. I can't access recovery mode only download mode.
What do I do guys?!
P.s all this time I had no root installed
I would suggest warranty claim as you have never rooted i

Hi Everyone,
This is my story:
I woke up today to my phone being off. Thinking it was battery, I got my spare and replaced it. Turned on the phone and saw the:
"Samsung
Galaxy S III
GT-I9300"
This logo kept on appearing, then disappearing; appearing then disappearing. It is still doing that and I can not get past it. I have tried clearing Dalvik Cache (yes I can access recovery mode). I have tried using Odin to flash stock firmware to it (it showed a "PASS"), and still nothing works. I am at the end of my wits with this phone. Based on what I know, my options are:
1) Wipe/Reset Factory data
2) Take it to a repair shop bcz of a hardware malfunction (no warranty)
3) Throw it in the bin
Any other options that might get me into the phone to get my information?
Just so you guys know, this phone was rooted a couple months back. The only reason I rooted it was to use Titanium Backup. Needless to say, I wasn't messing around with it when this happened. Please advise!
Use Google or search on XDA next time!
Looks to me like you have SDS!

factory reset should've been the first thing you did after the cache. that's your solution. it's not sudden death, just do a factory reset

Can you enter recovery? Or it's just DL mode?
I can enter recovery and DL mode. For the record, I just did a wipe data factory reset and it's still doing the same thing. Any suggestions now?
If you can get into download mode then try flashing stock Rom with Odin, if it doesn't boot up, go to recovery and do factory reset.....

Thank you. But I already did both of your suggestions and they didn't work.
Read the sudden death syndrome thread .

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:

Could be stuck power button. I know, I know, " but its clicking just fine". That doesnt mean anything. Flick the back of your phone a few times.

Thats not it
Yeah I read that It might be the problem but Its still happening with the case removed.

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?

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...

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.

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.
Phone: Samsung S2
Model: SHW-M250S (Korean T model)
My phone had the default firmware to begin with. I took it into my own hands to flash a custom rom because my phone did not allow me to pause or skip songs on the home screen which was very irritating. I first tried to flash the GT-i9100 firmware however my phone ran out of batteries in the middle of flashing with Odin. So now it is soft bricked. Yay. I then re-flashed the GT-i9100 firmware however it just stopped in the middle of the operation no matter how many times I restarted.
I then decided it was best to go back to good the good old firmware for SHW-250S. I was able to flash back to the firmware with Odin saying Passed. I then rebooted my phone and since then, it has been forever stuck on the red T flashing. I have researched for the past 3 days. Living without a phone, is like living without toilet paper.
I am a noob, please help me

Okay... Can u go into recovery mode..??
Try going to recovery mode... If you are able to then do a data wipe.. And try rebooting... If it doesn't work then
Check if the firmware that you have downloaded for your phone is correct or not... The problem might be with that...
Download the right one for your model and flash it again with Odin..! Find a proper Odin guide and do accordingly.!

Sorry for taking a long time to respond. Had to go somewhere. So then I left my phone for about one 1 hour and it still didn't boot. At some point I just gave up. I think the reason was because I couldn't get the right files for my firmware? My previous firmware was Jelly Bean 4.1.2 SHW-M250S. And I can't seen to find a working one. I have slow internet so I cant download everything. By slow I mean my peak download is like 200kb/s.
My Xperia 1 is now stuck at boot screen. Specifically, it is stuck at XPERIA animation after the initial SONY banner.
I didn't do any damage to my phone. It just happened that battery drained overnight, and after recharge next day it just doesn't boot.
I would like to do a factory reset, but looks like I couldn't. Both Xpedia Companion & flashtool claimed the phone it locked. I didn't unlock bootloader nor I could get into phone's settings to change the situation...
Is there anything I can do to boot it up or do factory reset?

Hey, bit late answer, but I had same issue around start of March. Same symptoms, I let the battery drain out and it didn't no longer boot.
I took it to my phone provider asap, cause it isn't the first time my Xperia 1 has acted up.
The provider fixed under warranty and I assume they changed out the motherboard, cause I have new IMEI. Needless to say I lost all my internal data.
You guys should have the phone switched off and used Xperia Companion.
Clicking Repair software option without connecting the phone.
It asks to connect the phone with volume - pressed and warns you for the total data erase.
That would have been easy, anyways you already have it working.

Thank's for your reply but my x1 is fixed now, i tried to flah it with many different rom and build but always bootloop but when i flash it with Android 10 Build 55.1.A.0.748 it works but my nfc not work
You need to upgrade to Android 11.
I have same problem and also had posted a question in xda.
Why NFC works only in Android 11?
I downgraded to android 9 and noticed that it isn't working. I have downgraded multiple times but it used to work. If I update my phone to android 11 latest then it works again but I don't want to upgrade to 11. what might be the issue? How do...
