Hello there,
My wife bought a used Milestone 2, but we soon noticed it rebooted often and randomly. Sometimes the reboot will become a bootloop and we need to pull the battery to get it going again.
I tried updating the Android version, flashing a 2.3.6 SBF and even MIUI. No dice.
Anything else I should try before returning it?
Thanks
Daniel

Hi,
I have dropped my phone few weeks back and cracked the screen. Still it was in working condition and every thing seemed working fine. But during the last few weeks my phone has received the OTA updates and now it is on Android 2.3.6. Now my phone is rebooting on it own. If I try to reboot it never reboots. When I try to reboot in 'Android Reboot with No BP' option, it reboots and every thing seems working fine but in few minutes it starts rebooting again on its own. Not sure when I dropped the phone it got some hardware damage or the OTA updates causing this reboot issue.
When I tried to boot up using 'Boot Android (no BP)' option it at least boots up and shows me Motoblur log in screen but again with in few seconds it goes back to boot up mode. Some times it stays for 5 to 10 minutes but never stays there more than 10 minutes and it goes back to boot loop.
I have unlocked my Atrix using Automatic boot loader tool. Did not help. Tried to flash with Motorola .SBF files both 2.3.4 and 2.3.6, no luck either. Did the factory reset, wipe out the cache etc....no luck.
I have even tried to install custom ROM (NottachTrix 4G), that didn't help either.
I am thinking it might have caused by Android 2.3.6 updates. So I want to try to flash it with a custom ROM which is built on 2.3.4 or lower but afraid to do that thinking I might hard brick my phone.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Well, unfortunately with the screen cracked, you can't return to Motorola. I had a goof with my Atrix when I first got it because I accidentally did a SBF flash to the wrong version and it bricked the phone and fried the motherboard and Motorola replaced it because I said the Gingerbread update messed it up. Ha.
Anyways, since returning to Moto is not an option for you, I would just go ahead and try to install a custom ROM, maybe try Neutrino ROM 2.2 or 2.5?
Do you have ROMRacer Recovery or CWM Recovery installed? Will it let you get into it? If so, put a custom ROM on your SD card, do a wipe data and cache and install it.
I'm no expert, but I have noticed no one else replied and just trying to help.
Hope all works out for you!
Boot loop issue - at&t Android 2.3.6
Thanks andreww88 for your reply. I read in one of the forums that once the phone is updated with 2.3.6 don't try to go back to older versions especially lower than 2.3.4. That would make the phone to be hard bricked. That is why I didn't try any other ROM other than NottachTrix 4G because it is built on 2.3.6. I could be wrong. That is why I need some guidance to try any other custom ROM.
i had the same issue. What i did was get the Atrix Fastool and whipe the phone. Then i extracted the sbf for 141 and then flashed 59 60 and 61 smg files from fastboot. After that everything worked properly. To then unlock my bootloader i used the flashing script and i was set. This is recoverable not easy but you can recover.
Thanks Moneyman1978 for your reply. Can you be more detail what you did to resolve this issue. Can you send me the links or point me to Fastool and 141 .SBF file also SMG files. Thanks again.

Well, I had a similar issue. I did the 4.5.141 (OS 2.3.6) OTA update and then it would just bootloop. I'm on stock, rooted, locked BL. I then ran the OTA update again via recovery and that didn't help. I then did a full factory reset, then update via recovery and still didn't fix anything (good thing I had TiBu backup). After calling AT&T they finally admitted that Moto recalled the 4.5.141 build update since there was WIDESPREAD boot-loop issues with many Atrix users. Great.
They're sending me a new phone. Luckily, mine is in good condition.
Any one please have any suggestions for me. Do you think it is a hardware issue or can it be fixed by fixing the software??? Any help is appreciated.
If any of you has any ideas about how to fix this issue I would appreciate if you can share it here.
Alright so a while back I created a post here about some problems I was having with the stock rom I was running back then. Got some answers (thanks btw) and after some more problems I finally was able to flash Alexndr rom, but the problems were still there (random reboots, battery was draining hard and died at 25%, slow). I was told that the reason for these problems were that I didn't install a different bootloader, which was mandatory. I have been busy the past few days so didn't really have any time. But this morning my phone suddenly had a random reboot and weirdly, when it rebooted a factory reset was done. So I decided that it was time to install the new BL, but ended up flashing the wrong one so got into a bootloop. Then i flashed it again with the right BL, first it seemed like there was no bootloop because i got into the regular screen (choosing language etc.) but suddenly it started rebooted, and it didn't stop. It always gets to the language screen, sometimes to the wifi screen but after that it still reboots. Because i really needed my phone to work i flashed the stock rom again, also a bootloop.
So i hope you guys have any ideas how to fix this, because i have no clue what to do. And i really need my phone because my sister is in the hospital and i need to be able to get calls.
Thanks in advance.
This is the stock ROM btw: N910FXXS1DPC2 (German, android 6)
AND BUMP!!
Really in need for some answers
Hi all,
For the last 3/4 weeks my Moto X Style XT1572 has been randomly rebooting, usually this is when it is not in use and either in my pocket or desk.
I was running AICP and tried a couple of factory resets. This did not help.
I then factory reset and installed Dirty Unicorns (last weekly). Again this hasn't helped. No overclocking, undervolting, just stock kernels and I have tried handbag kernel.
Still rebooting.
Anything else I can try before throwing it in the bin?
Motorola are not interested in repairing due to unlocking the BL.
Thanks

Flash the newest stock 6.0.1.
Without botloader, gpt, no oem commands(don't lock BL).
You need stock system to recognize: hardware or software problem.
I was going to say that my wife's MXPE has been doing the same thing with multiple random reboots and losing constantly losing all her Bluetooth pairings. But her phone is completely unrooted and OEM Marshmallow OS.
I seem to have resolved the issue by using the Chill governor. Fingers crossed, but I've not had a reboot for 2 days now...

Mine is doing the exact same: random reboots and it loses all Bluetooth pairings and have to redo them. Running TruePure ROM but nothing else so far.
I did a Dalvik/Cache wipe and it calmed down a bit now, it randomly reboots about 1-2 times a week (over it doing it 1-2 times a day) and when it does reboot, so far, it hasn't lost the Bluetooth pairings yet.
Gonna see if I can go back to stock and install the latest updates and then take it from there, when I get a chance to.

Moto X Style , Android 6.0 , Not rooted, pure stock, exact same symptoms as you guys with the random reboots while not in use , losing Bluetooth pairings... Did a factory reset, didn't change a thing. Sometimes, I can get 2 days without reboots, then have 2 in the same hour the next day. It sucks. I'm hoping the Nougat update will fix this, if it ever gets released for my version...
Got 1 doing the same stuff, all stock, gets warm, reboot itselfs, wrong date and time, and no bt pairing
Mine is still doing it too. Not as bad as it was but at least once per day, when idle, sleeping it just reboots for no apparent reason. Not ROM, Kernel and I have factory reset.
Can anyone tell me if the tablet's battery might be responsible for it restarting itself? For example I was using it with a custom rom, and until the moment everything was working normal, and suddenly it started to restart, just by opening an application it crashes and reboots, I already tried to install the stock rom and it got worse, I could not even leave the samsung logo. I was able to install TWRP, but every time I try to reinstall the stock rom before it even starts it hangs and restarts, it has reached a point that it hangs and shuts itself. (Backup from twrp).
My tablet is the model SM -T560, I was using LineageSo 14.1 from T561. If anyone knows anything I appreciate it. The reason for the doubt is because I already took another tablet to repair and according to the technician, that could be the reason, the system was crashing, but from what I researched it was a chronic defect so I did not perform the battery replacement. Now i don't have any money to bay a new battery, and the device became an expensive paperweight.
Help please.
Hello everyone, for those who are in a similar situation, in which the tablet can not open an application without it restarting, reinstalling the stock rom and it keeps crashing and restarting, tried everything via software and did nothing for nothing. The battery arrived today and I'm testing to see if the problem solved and so far everything seems okay, I hope I can help with something.

Uhm Yeah you can help with something, Sorry I wasn't a member when this was posted. Do you by any chance have the CM12.1 Custom ROM for the SM-T561? it's okay If you only have one for the SM-T560
Hey guys, last night my phone was working perfectly fine and suddenly today it just randomly started rebooting. That's when i noticed its stuck on a boot loop, i tried factory resetting twice and it still happens. I'm in the process of flashing stock rom to see if that helps but anyone has a faster solution i'd be grateful.

Do you by chance happen to have a copy of that stock rom? I have the exact same model I need a copy since my computer crashed and I lost the one I had.
