[Q] TMo Note 3 Deciding Rebooting is the Only Solution

Ended up "solving" this by doing a stock restore via Odin, after which TouchWiz would never load an icon (crash loop). Reinstalled TWRP via Odin, then flashed ViSiON X N3 via TWRP.

Morning guys,
I've had some reboots lately and a weird situation last week where I had to do operating system surgery to get the thing to boot at all.... HOWEVER things were going quite well for some time, and it's been rooted and non-stock for months.
Nevertheless I woke up this morning and it was off, I figured the battery had died so I swapped batteries... It boots, it gets to the launcher and it loads the app icons then freezes and reboots... over and over again.
edit: to be clear, as soon as the slider bar touches the right-hand side the phone freezes, the vibration holds for several seconds, and then the device reboots. obviously not what one expects from this operation (having done it before). I was able to wipe the Cache separately... trying to wipe the Dalvik cache all by itself in an advanced wipe does this reboot thing.
OK I said, i will just clear and reflash this.
Going into TWRP, attempting to do a factory reset wipe just freezes, buzzes, and reboots immediately (to the not working OS)... in order to make this all stop I pull the battery, because now the button on the side won't seem to do a hardware poweroff for anything. Just ends up resetting the current reboot.

Any advice would be helpful now. I was just going to say forget it and grab the tiniest ROM i could find and ride it out until I upgrade the device, but now I'm just concerned with getting it active. The rebooting in recovery when trying to do a wipe does not make me feel too great. First and only problem I've had with android roms.
Thanks,
Chris

When WiFi is turned off I get 'Unfortunately System UI has stopped'

This is on two standard Galaxy S5's, with standard ROM, etc - not rooted, or anything else.
Every time I turn off WiFi, or enable Mobile Hotspot, I get 'Unfortunately System UI has stopped'.
To fix I have to Power off/on the phone.
(Turning on WiFi is no problem, just turning it off.)
I have gone into 'Safe Mode', and same issue, so it looks to not be a bad App.
I have also uninstalled 'Google' updates, and again no change...
Any thoughts?

All of a sudden my S5 showed the exact same error message for no aparent reason... I didn't do anything, and now I can't use my phone at all because of that bug. It happens on every boot so I can't even unlock my phone. Tried reinstalling everything, ROM, recovery, kernel, with/without root = still same, what just happened here??
EDIT: Same thing if I'm in Safe Mode -_-

Seeing noone knows a solution here's what I did yesterday.
1. Backed up all my stuff from internal storage to the sd card
2. Did factory reset in TWRP recovery
3. Flashed completely stock official firmware from Samsung
4. Waited for it to boot up and try to restore some of my settings (it restored all folders on their places, made same amount of home screens as I had before the reinstall and downloaded all of my previously installed apps from the Play Store, ofcourse without the cracked ones, and it also restored most apps' data as well so it's not as bad as you may think to factory reset and reinstall everything)
5. Started rooting, flashing TWRP again, installing Dolby Audio, Xposed and everything I had before, took me one full day to set it up as it was before.
Now when I set it up I always make a nandroid backup from when things are working fine, in case it goes crazy for no reason again... Good luck!

when the wifi radio is acting weird, a dirty flash of your current ROM susually fixes is as its probably a radio issue. Id do that before doing anything drastic like the boot-n-nuke Odin flash and starting from scratch (which will fix that issue)

I don't think I have a ROM issue, as I have two S5's, and both have the same issue... and both are standard ROMs.
I will do a factory re-set on one at some point, but this looks to be a 'simpler' issue.
I have tried a full Cache delete, as well as other 'clean' processes.
Nothing works.

I tried to re-flash my stock ROM as @youdoofus said but still had that annoying popup. Try everything you can think of, if all else fails, reset.

well, you can wipe cache, and dalvik 3x each (not kidding about the 3x each), then dirty flash the rom, pray to the gods of android, reboot. If failure occurs, its Odin Nuke time unless you want to try to flash an individual radio file by itself (not recommended)

Freezing and rebooting

Classic "my phone keeps freezing and rebooting". I am quite in the know about flashing roms and such.
It started on the stock firmware 6.1.1 (i think it was). I dd factory resets, cache wipes the lot. It would still randomly reboot.
So i flashed Telstra version of 7.0. Still froze every now and then. Did the same things as above.
Flashed TWRP and wiped everything, flashed Renovate Rom and the bootloader for it, Still did it. Numerus factory resets and wipes of everything. It would freeze at any point from startup, to having setup the phone and making phone calls or on facebook or whatever. It would even freeze in twrp, or loading twrp.
I found that the data partition was corrupt so i re partitioned to ext4. Still nothing. I reformatted every partition so the phone was a complete brick with nothing on it and after flashing clean again it would still do it.
Whats the issue that I'm missing, or is there a way to log so i can find where it keeps getting stuck? It gets hot and blue light flashes and i have to hard reset it or sometimes i have to let the battery drain so i can turn it back on again.
pls help?

Hmm i will give you an advice so you dont have to wait for your battery to drain...just press volume down and power button for like 5 secs and phone will force boot. Anyway back to your problem...did you tried flashing latest stock samsung firmware?

This advice doesn't work with my phone even with holding the buttons for 30 secs and more. For rebooting I can only wait until the battery is completely drained. With little hope for another way shortening time to the next reboot any help is appreciated.

Same here...experiencing the same prob...

Same problem.

Sounds like you need your motherboard replaced i had the same issues on marshmallow thought the nougat update would fix it but realized it was a hardware fault not software..left it in store to get fixed and on repair sheet it said faulty motherboard..

As i know some S7 have motherboard hardware problem, mine has too, what help? warranty and they replaced motherboard. But if you root, you can say good bye to warranty, they look at knox first with this problem.

Mi A1 crashing, freezing and rebooting daily (ambient display and persist fix failed)

First of all, I'm going to describe the problem:
Daily, apps keeps crashing, random apps (but mostly google ones), and after that or them continue crashing or the phone freezes itself and I'm forced to reboot or itself reboots. Not so often, in addition (it just occured 3 times, in several roms), it appears that "Can't load system. You data mau be corrupted" and I have to restart again, and It says that I the error happens again, I'd have to do a hard reset.
About the phone:
I bought it knowing the issue, someone tried to flash a rom and it probably deleted the imei and this person flashed another imei (I think it's probably someone in a center that didn't have the box of the smartphone and knowing nothing about chinese smartphones, since I live in Brazil, and just flashed a random imei found in internet). I bought another one mi a1 with the imei deleted but I could recovery with the one in the box normally and it didn't have the reboot problem after fixed the imei and persist.img.
What I tried:
I didn't know about the imei first, so I just flashed a nougat stock rom and thought the problem was solved, but it wasn't. I tried both nougat and oreo stock roms and it just happens the same. Then, I found in some discussion here that it could be the ambient display, even turning it off, failed. After that I found that it also could be the Chrome webview, turned off, failed again. After all that I realized that the imei was wrong, did not match the box, and I could affect that way, I tried then changing the imei to the ones in the box, and I did change using the QPST: I flashed the stock using factory reset to erase the old imei and flashed some rom, flashed persist.img, changed imei with QPST. Failed again. Oh, and I tested a custom rom 8.1 too, the LineageOS, failed.
What I'm considering to do now (without a lot of hope):
To flash Nougat stock with EDL mode. (Is it different from fastboot mode?)
Someone have an idea? I'm running out of options.

[H990N][HK] Massive crash applications on startup

Hello everybody,
To introduce my problem, I explain the situation. I buy a V20 H990DS that I tried to root but with no succes. In my trial, I do some many fatal error like erase boot and aboot partitions.
I send my phone to after sales services and they repair my phone. They changed the motherboard and now, I'm with a v20 H990N.
The first startup, i get some many application don't work and literrally crash like gallery, camera etc... I do a factory reset and upgrade the firmware with LG BRIGDE to Oreo. Everything passed good and I start use the phone (no apps installed, just testing). But, some app start crashed but less frequently.
So, I decided to root and tried another stock firmwares. But each times, I have some app crashed. My last crash, in the configuration start step, is about the EULA app and crash at the end of configuration which has the effect to restart the start configuration and you can never finish the configuration.
I tried different kernel, too, like mk2000 or DOTS but same thing.
I tried different custom rom, too, like resurrection or lineage (for h990ds) but each time, I have errors during installing zip in TWRP.
Actually, I'm in TWRP 3.2.3 like recovery, DOTS like kernel and I will try the latest Oreo zip root flash.
Have you encountered this kind of problem too ?
Thanks for help !
