Hi, I bought my GS4 two days ago and immediately rooted it via the motochopper method, and then installed ClockworkMod via the loki method. I then installed the then latest nightly (cm-10.1-20130530-NIGHTLY).
Now I understand that nightlies come with no promises of work, but I was just wondering if anyone else was experiencing a rebooting problem on their device. Mine reboots randomly, and often. Multiple times a day. On two occasions it has gotten itself into a reboot loop (starts rebooting, gets to the lock screen, and immediately starts rebooting), in which i needed to pull the battery. Still having the same issue on the May 31st build.
I'm just hoping that someone else has this issue, other then just me. Any ideas to fix it would be amazing!
Use a touchwiz rom, problem solved.
CM is nice for sure but, it seems to always be broken.
Fixed!!
After dealing with the issue for a few more days, it continued to get worse. I could no longer uninstall apps (every time I did it would reboot), and it became more frequent, even with updating to the most recent nightly every day.
I finally got fed up with it today. I did a complete wipe of data, cache, and dalvik cache, and reinstalled the latest nightly (cm-10.1-20130530-NIGHTLY). After installing gapps i turned it on and am no longer experiencing any issues!!! Even after i reinstalled all of my apps and restored the data using titanium. Hopefully it has fixed it completely, only time will tell over the next few days.

I have a Motorola Droid Razr M XT907 and have been running the Skrilax CyanogenMod 10.1 nightlies. Over the past several days, my phone has been rebooting randomly, and it seems to be getting worse. I have tried flashing earlier versions that had worked in the past, but the random rebooting continues. I also tried using Bytecode's Vanquish kernel, still rebooting. I've been through wiping /system, wiping the caches (/cache and dalvik) several times in a row before and after flashing the ROM and Gapps. Have tried not opting to restore my data from Google's servers during setup after the flash, no love. I don't think it is a downloaded app issue, because it rebooted on me a couple of times during the initial setup before it even started downloading any apps. I am almost at my wit's end. Does anyone have any experience with this, and possibly shed some light on what is going on? I really don't want to go back to the stock FW
I've had this phone for about 6 months, no serious issues other than some battery life issues that were fixed with a factory reset a few weeks back. Since that factory reset everything has been great. But yesterday my phone started rebooting randomly from every few minutes to about 2 hours in between reboots is the longest it's gone since it started. I am running stock rom and launcher, rooted. Also still on 4.2.2 and not 4.4 because it won't let me update since I am rooted. I couldn't figure it out so I factory reset again tonight. After factory reset it is still rebooting randomly. I have only installed about 10 apps since reset, nothing I didn't have before the problems started. It doesn't restart only when in a certain app. Has restarted multiple times when I'm just on the home screen.
Any ideas of where to start looking to try to figure this out?
I also experienced some reboots but all is working perfectly now, I don't know why.
It may be related to one of your apps? For instance, I have read elsewhere that facebook beta version caused reboots, do you have it installed? Maybe you should uninstall all or some of your apps, and try to find the guilty one?
I will try uninstalling apps, but I don't have any apps now that I did not have before the problems started.
V20G solved my random reboots issue, hyuray

Hey there,
I am having a recent issue with my phone, where everytime I reset it or do a power off and reboot, the phone will constantly get to the boot logo (in this case cyangemod) and reboot after 5-10 seconds.
It ends up working but only when I let it do this cycle for about 30 minutes or so.
I have looked everywhere, I cannot find someone who is having a similar problem as me.
I am running the latest Cyangemod nightly rom, because I thought the issue was the ASUS rom, I have tried wiping cache, doing a factory reset etc... but no luck.
I also have the latest TWRP recovery and unlocked bootloader.
Any help would be gladly appreciated, Thank You.
Let me know if any video evidence is needed to further clarify, the problem I am having.

Sorry I don't have good news or a solution for you. Just wanted to chime in that you aren't alone. This randomly happened to me on Sunday in the car - I noticed that I suddenly had no signal in a pretty well developed area that I frequent, so I tried restarting and I've been down ever since. Unlike you, I didn't wait it out too long, maybe 5 minutes at the most, when the phone started to get warm.
I have tried going back to stock recovery and firmware and have seen no success. Contrary to other people reporting problems, I hadn't done anything to my phone leading up to this. I think I upgraded the modem several days before, but other than that, everything was running pretty smoothly.
same thing was happening to me after a bad flash. Stock recovery, stock lolipop, wipe data and cache, boot once, reboot to recovery, flash latest MM package on asus's site.
This is the only thing that fixed the bootloops.
Hey all! I'm having a strange issue regarding boot looping that I can't seem to find an answer to on here or anywhere else, I hope you guys can help.
So my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900T), purchased in May 2014, while perusing Facebook the other day, randomly shut down in the middle of perfectly normal use and started bootlooping. I had never had the problem before. The device had been rooted for months (I forget what method I used) but it was running a stock Lollipop rom. The first thing I did was factory wipe and cache wipe through Android stock recovery. It worked!... for a couple hours. Then the bootloop started again.
I went and sought a new stock rom, believing that somehow mine had been corrupted, and flashed it via Odin. I also flashed TWRP. Clean wipes, new rom, dalvic/etc. wipes, and booted into stock Marshmallow. It worked!... for a couple hours. Then it started bootlooping again. I went into TWRP and tried to wipe just caches and whatnot, but it wouldn't start again. Long battery pulls sometimes allowed the phone to boot, but it started looping again after ~5-10 minutes.
So I installed the Twisted Lollipop but couldn't even get that to boot. I went back and found the earliest available firmware for my device (as I bought mine right after it came out) and flashed it. Wipe wipe flash wipe whatever, and a succesful boot. It was looking good! I was able to install a number of OTA updates. I was at Android 5.1 when I decided to call it a night and hold off on the further OTAs for today. Today I got up and got ready for work, all's well. As I'm getting ready to leave, I allow Google to update some apps, and begin installing Facebook, Spotify, Cap Metro (for my area's public transit system) and maybe something else, I don't remember. Anyway, as the updates are downloading or installing and I'm checking my email, boom, crash, bootloop.
What's going on here? I've never heard of hardware causing boot loops, but could it be that? I dropped my phone (although protected by a Spigen case) earlier this summer and it cracked the screen-- could it have messed with the motherboard in some substantial way? I had noticed it getting hotter and the battery lasting less than usual, but I attributed that to the device's age.
Any help, any advice, any direction you could give would be extremely appreciated. I don't have the capital to replace the phone right now, and I use it all the time. Thanks folks!
I installed 8.1 last week. Everything was working smoothly. Was trying magisk youtube mod. Screwed something up. Phone went into bootloops. Reinstalled everything .Wiped data. Now my phone reboots randomly. Everything stock .Rooted with Magisk. Mainly it happens whenever i launch a new app(An app which was not launched before). After few tries, the app opens up and doesnt' result in reboot.
Any ideas what could it be ?
You should of wiped system and cache also might be your problem. Also if you where using any substratum themes remove then manually as well. Not sure if they would cause reboots.

FC's are one thing but random reboots are a completely different animal. I would completely wipe the phone and apply the latest factory image using flash-all.bat. If that doesn't fix it you may have a hardware issue (eg. degraded battery).
Wiping caches helped
I'm running SUPERXE-8.1.0-OPP5.005_v1.5.1.
My 6P was going crazy, restarting every 5 minutes or so. It rebooted so quickly it felt like a soft restart, so I thought powering off and rebooting to recovery using the power + down volume to clear the cache in TWRP would help.
Cleared system and Dalvik and powered down. Full reboot and (for now) it feels much happier and hasn't spontaneously restarted yet. That was about 15 hours ago.
Hope I didn't just Jynx myself, but I think it helped...
I've flashed the final 8.1 images to upgrade my 8.0 unmodified system. Now I've random reboots, usually when I've leave home to go to work or vice versa. Something related to wifi, that I'm connecto on both my work and home?
Same here I had to factory reset I'm having a feeling it's going to happen again. I am on factory, rooted with magisk. I always use SuperSU not saying that is what it is however it did happen when I got home from work and just kept rebooting before I could unlock.
