My G2 is rebooting itself every 5 seconds.. it won't load or get past the G2 screen...
i tried holding the power down but thats not doing anything.. I guess I'll just pull the battery.
this is the first time this has happened. usually it randomly reboots, but it loads but this one has been rebooting for 10 minutes now.
will my rebooted while I was in the gmail app.
it won't finish boot so I pulled the battery.
it did restart this time but my phone lost all it's apps and settings!
it reverted back to stock but I've not rooted or modded my phone in any way.
argh, going back to my old phone...
never had an android phone reboot so much and now forgetful.

It seems you have a defective unit.

Since this morning, when I boot it will get stuck on that red eye screen. I've waited several minutes and it won't go on.
So I end up pulling the battery and usually that works. Sometimes I have to do this twice.
Not sure how to even diagnose this.

Are you rooted or completely stock?

Rooted. I just tried restoring a backup from 3 days ago and had the same problem. So I restored back to the latest. When it finally does boot, it seems to run great.
I have a backup from further back, just not sure it will make a difference. Might give that so shot too.
I really think it is booting all the way, and just doesn't stop displaying the boot animation.
The reason I think that is because at some point the power button makes the screen go on and off, and there is haptic feedback in the same places where my lock screen tabs are.
At any rate, and this sounds unbelievable, but I pulled the sd card out and it booted normally. I put the card back in, and now it seems to boot normally. Can't explain it.
My brother called me from work about his rooted epic. It is was rooted with EB13 installed and has been working great. He said he noticed it vibrating in his desk and then it rebooted. It would boot to the splash screen, vibrate, then reboot. After 5 or 6 times he pulled out the battery. When he put the battery back it booted but took a while. When it booted up it was just as if a factory reset had been done. Everything was gone and there were no account. Worse than this there were no apps at all. The app tray was empty. Not even a market app. Does this mean the phone memory is dying?
Have no idea without a whole lot more info. I would suspect user error.

Ever since applying the Gingerbread update on Monday, my phone dies whenever it does a restart.
If i choose the restart option from the shutdown menu the screen just goes black, and nothing happens. I have to remove the battery, SIM and SD card for a few minutes, then put them back in to get it to start up again, and even that is hit and miss sometimes.
This first happened when the phone restarts itself during the update, and now happens every time is restarts. Its very annoying, especially as the phone has a tendency to restart itself randomly.
I tried a factory reset using the power+vol down, but even that fails as the phone can't reboot itself, and when I do manage to get it going its always still at the Gingerbread version.
Never rooted the phone, all the other updates went on without any problems. Phone is unbranded, UK.
Any ideas appreciated.

I have highlighted your problem. You can try and gran the correct update and flash it again manually, or you can try and root and go with any ROM you like... or you can return the phone for repair or replacement.
Your choice.
So, something has gone wrong during the update? It appears to function ok when it is up and running, its only on the restart of the phone it all goes wrong.
I've a call logged with HTC. Was hoping there was a simple fix.
I'm not exactly sure what happened, but when I first rooted, installed safestrap, and then Jelly Beans 106 on my Note 3, my phone would start up fine but then restart constantly. I would get my home screen, then immediately get notifications that various apps had crashed, and then the phone would reboot, but not fully though, it wouldn't go directly to the Jelly Beans boot animation, not through the full boot from the beginning with the samsung logo. From start up to reboot varies, but usually whatever app i was using would crash within a minute, and my phone would crash/lockup/reboot maybe 30 seconds to a minute later. It did not matter what app i as using or what I was doing. Actually I just noticed it somehow lost all my email settings, none of the accounts are there anymore.
If I booted into the stock rom from safe strap it seemed stable, but never with Jelly Bean. I had tried clearing the caches, wiping the phone, and a bunch of other fixes and nothing worked. In a last ditch effort I tried the process again, from the very beginning, I retooted my phone, reinstalled everything, and it worked, until three days ago when it started rebooting again. I had about three months of my phone being perfect, and then it just started rebooting randomly on it's own. The only thing that I can think that I did was decline some usage rights for the my magazine samsung app, that was the last thing I did before my phone went crazy.
I can't even get the stock rom to be stable anymore, it will do the same thing, whats' going on? I don't get why my phone was so stable, and then it went all haywire again. anybody have any idea of what I can do?
I applied the 4core fix for my N6P back in September of last year, and stopped using it around December because of the battery life. Around July/August I purchased a battery and installed it and things were going well. Now my phone is freezing and booting to the Google Logo and... Crash again. No Nexus animation; Google, crash. Sometimes it will attempt to boot and bootloop and sometimes it turns on and works fine. Sometimes if it turns back on it freezes and boom. Google logo.
I guess the remaining 4 cores in this phone are done completely from the looks of it? I know the patch wasn't meant to be permanen, only temporary because the remaining 4cores would eventually die.

My 6p also started bootlooping again today and this time fix didn't help me. I think it's gone for good.

Is yours booting to the Google logo and crashing? Or simply bootlooping? Mine goes to the logo, crashes about 10-15 times and then eventually attempts to boot.
It's a shame, got a baby on the way and simply can't afford another phone right now

Displays Google logo about 20-30 sec and restarts. Before I could see the animation but this time no luck.
Congratulations! I also have a newborn, we'll see what the future holds

Thank you You too! Day of Thanksgiving he is supposed to get here, but my wife isn't doing too well lol do you know of any way for us to pull data? Adb is failing to see my device when it's in the bootloader, fastboot is working though. I tried once more to flash twrp 4 core and boot it with no luck. Those small cores gave out I guess. I left my phone on overnight bootlooping with no luck. I got most things off, just my actual camera fder I couldn't get and apps which aren't a huge deal.
Sadly this morning I had the same problem. Bootlooping, I even cannot enter into Recovery. Then, suddently, it restarted, but I wasn't home, so I hadn't the chance to save the data. Then, about 3 hours later, it restarted bootlooping and, since then, it's stucked into this bootloop. Even reflashing the modified boot won't work.
Anybody knows how to at least recover the data inside? Even if I have to break the phone (I'm going to buy onther one soon)
hey guys, me too. but you know something? my initial assessment was that it was a result of an update. Now looking here annd seeing so many others with the same problem at the SAME TIME?? mine happened out of the blue on about October 4th or 5th. Ive had this phone for two years and never had aproblem with it at all. right out of the blue (in the morning) i get the bootloop. I cleared the cache and it booted up again. it was just fine for two days and now it is down black and out. When i push the power button i get a red light. one blink. if i hold down pwr and vol i get 8 blinks. tried on stock charger and other charger. like was previously mentioned when i tried it on a different charger it worked. the first time. now its dead. any solutions?

It simply means that the battery is fully discharged. Keep it connected to the current and maybe it restarts working.
I'm in the same situation since yesterday, hoping that at some point it returns working for some time, just to backup some data. I have like 10GB of photos not backupped in it.
When I replaced my battery I reinstalled factory. Start from scratch.
I had the same issue and that's all I did. Booted fine after that. I used the ifixit battery tho, cause if you got a lower cost one it could be the battery itself too
