Installed Cyanogen 6.1.1 and GApps yesterday (wiped cache partition, Dalvik cache and battery stats before installing). Was working great all night and most of today. Much faster, not crashing like the JIT was causing my phone to do.
This afternoon the battery seemed to be charging slowly so I restarted the phone. The phone kept getting stuck in the boot screen (with the blue android on a skateboard). I took the battery out and tried again. Same thing happened about 4 times, then finally it went through and started the phone. However, everything started crashing one by one when i got into my phone (force close) and I wasn't able to do anything. I had to pull the battery out again to restart.
It seems to be a toss up now, it either gets stuck in a boot loop or it starts up and everything crashes. I can't even get into XRecovery for some reason so I can't wipe to factory defaults. Seems like the phone is wrote off.
Is there anything I can do? Any help would be appreciated as I am lost without this phone.
Hello,
Basically, my phone works. I can call, sms, photograph and so on, but:
When I try to flash new rom, via Kies, Odin or other tool everything goes smoothly, blue progress bars advance and complete, phone reboots, and ... I have old rom, nothing is changed, no data is deleted.
When I install new apps they work until I power off phone. After power on new and updated apps are gone, deleted SMS are back, it looks like the phone inside was frozen in time some time ago and all that is going on is going in ram or some virtual machine, and vanishes.
It happened some weeks ago, I cannot recall when exactly. Something I installed was suddenly missing and SMS after reboot came back, but I ignored it then like a sporadic glitch.
I just discovered, that I also can't do factory reset. System recovery <3e> shows, but doing wipe data or wipe cache has no effect. Nothing gets wiped, apps and data remain intact. The only unusual thing I see in the recovery console is:
Can't access to '/system/csc/PLS/system/'
Is it a virus or is it just broken or what?

I suggest doing a deep clean...
Hi, I rooted my galaxy s7 from att using this method, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNInTlCpv8E
It worked perfectly and I had my new rooted phone! So a couple of days after the root one of my apps stop working and I cannot get it to start working, it was a pushup workout app, so I restart my phone and it gets into a boot loop stuck on the at&t logo. I was very sad as I did not back anything up so I wiped my phone using the recovery boot and signed in and re-flashed the root rom through odin and re-installed supersu and it worked perfectly again. The next day I have the same problem but this time with snapchat and instagram so I knew what was going to happen and I restarted and it did the same thing. This time when I went into recovery boot I noticed "dm-verity verification failed" in red at the bottom. As of now I am just going to do what I did last time and wipe and re-flash as I made a backup this time and just restore my phone and hope it doesn't happen again. If someone could please explain why this is happening and maybe help me fix it I would be so happy thank you!
UPDATE 7/26/16: I re flashed the ap root file with odin without doing a factory reset and it is still stuck in a boot loop, meaning I have to do a factory reset to get it out.
Mine is doing same thing. I used chain fires root. Everything went perfect. Then couple days later apps started saying they had stopped and phone started freezing. Every app I tired to open would say they had stopped. Then it constantly kept saying Google play services had stopped. I tried to reboot and stuck into bootloop everytime. Rooted again same thing happened again. U ever find a fix or anyone no how to fix this
Few days ago my HOX+ suddenly turned off and would turn back on, but crashed after few seconds. I plugged the phone to a charger and everything worked again. However, since then the story happened over and over on various occasions. I thought it was my fault, because of playing with some root apps; reverted everything back, but problem still existed.
I decided to flash a new ROM. Everything went fine, flashed kernel, wiped all, but after starting the install of the ROM, my phone crashed after the line "patching system image unconditionally". I tried to restore stock backup, but after reaching few percents, phone crashes again. I realized that this might likely be a hardware issue.
Furthermore, I can't enter recovery (unlike bootloader) without charging my phone even though I charged the phone before doing anything.
So, is there anything else I can do or should I put my HOX+ into a recycle bin?
First I'd like to thank you all for this forum, it helped us very much.
A few weeks ago My P780 (with english KitKat, rooted by seller) started showing these error messages "calendar has stopped working" "acore has stopped working" "google services has stopped working" "(random app) has stopped working". Only pushing the reset button got rid of these messages. These crashes became more and more frequent and I decided to try and solve it. I watched many "how to" videos on youtube and I decided to clear cache in factory mode. It did not solve it. Than I saved all my important data, and did a factory reset. The loading screen was on for too long, and I thought it froze, so I pushed reset. This made my phone to have a boot loop.
My brother has the exact same phone, and he did a Jellybean upgrade a year ago, and it was successful. So I have my phone to him, to repair it. Just by curiosity he did a memory check on HIS P780, and when he stopped it, it almost made his phone brick. So we had 2 identical bricked P780s.
After so many tries, he disconnected the battery and managed to recover his phone, and it works perfectly again. The strange thing is, he can't repair my phone though using the same method, same software, same driver, same cable and trying many ROM versions. After installing ROM, my phone works perfectly, but when he installs google services, all those "unfortunately stopped" error messages return. We can't understand why these error messages appear, if the phone was reflashed so many times and we tried so many ROMs. Does anybody have a clue?

Can you be more specific? What firmware did you flashed? Most of them have GAPPS installed.
Did you flashed the firmware with SP Flash Tool?

Yes, we used SP Flash Tool.
We tried firmware/ROM: "s129" (factory) and "p780_s941_vibeui_v2.0_1512". Both without GAPPS, because our phones are CE (china), not ROW (rest of the world). CE firmware does not include GAPPS. Tomorrow we will try to install ROW firmware.

Ok. I understand now. Try to flash ROW and see what is going on.

We installed VIBEUI_2.0_1512_7.149_1_ST_P780_baralajbi, this version included GAPPS and it workes perfectly. Everything is way better than the factory ROM. Unfortunately after a few days of usage the same problem returned (android unfortunately stopped), but now I noticed something. My phone keeps overheating.
I remember now, this has happened before, with the factory ROM, my phone became hot all the time, but I thought it's because of the very hot summer temperature. Now I noticed, that even if I keep the phone in my pocket, wifi, data transfer, gps, and everything turned off, not many applications running in the background, and my phone is still quite hot. When I turn the screen on and start using some apps, after 10-15 minutes it crashes.

I understand now. This is an hardware problem.
