Hey all,
My nexus 10 was fine until earlier when it randomly shut off then attempted to reboot itself, and that's where the trouble begins. It has been in a constant boot loop all night, going from the google logo to off and back to the logo. I've tried going into boot loader mode but I'm unable to do anything there as the rockers don't change the settings and the thing reboots itself after about 5 seconds of being in the menu! I have no idea what is happening.
Edit: It did reboot fully once and I used it for 2 minutes before it sent itself back into the loop. Any help please?

The one possibility I can think of is that there's something wrong with the power button. Maybe it's getting stuck or something inside and causing it to stay pressed which causes a force reboot. It could be why your volume buttons weren't doing anything in the bootloader since it might have thought the power button was being held down. That's just a guess. If it's a hardware thing, there's not much anyone can do for you over the internet. You might have to find a way to get under that power button and clean it out somehow.

Hi,
Not long ago I upgraded my phone over the air for the first time and installed android 2.3 and it was taking for ever and the phone died and the battery was taken a few times during the process. A few days after my started acting weird. Now its stuck on a reboot cycle. It will load, and it will be normal for a few seconds (max 20s) then it reboots again and it keeps going into that cycle.
I tried to go into recovery and perform a factory reset but the volume controls are not working. Please help because at the moment I don't have a phone.
Thanks!
Anyone help?
Sorry to hear that. Wish I knew of something...
anyone have anything that can help?
Hi all, i installed the CM11 on my gf's Galaxy s3 (i9300 international version), the problem is that sometimes it randomly reboots and get stuck in an unusual bootloop. It reaches the bootsplash logo and it keeps rebooting, the only solution to get it back to work is to remove the battery for at least 30 seconds and try to turn it on, sometimes it works.
When the bootloop happens i'm not able to enter the recovery mode, because it just turns on and it keeps rebooting, same thing with download mode.
So, i'm new here, but i read about a common issue which is the sudden death syndrome and half-sds, it might be that? I checked and it has the insane chip.
Any advice/idea? It would be better to flash a stock ROM to be safe?
I would backup the whole device, recover initial firmware using kies emergency recovery mode and then start over again.
Had a similar problem but even worse: same bootloop, but no dice on recovery :\
Was unable to reflash or restore old firmware using Odin, Kies was the only thing that worked for me.

Do the reboots occure few seconds after pressing the power button?
I have exactly the same problem and I figured out that my power button is kinda stuck and thus permanently pressed.
This causes the permanent reboot, because holding the power button for a certain amount of time causes a reboot.
Try to push "Vol down"+"Homebutton" instantly after a reboot. If your galaxy enters the download mode (before rebooting again), you have the proof, that it's the fault of the power button due to the fact that pressing the power button would have been necessary.
I hope the fix will be for free under warranty.
At the first moment I also thought it would be the Sudden Death syndrom, but thankfully it's not the case and only the power button has to be fixed.

I don't know, i didn't paid attention to it. Anyway thanks to both of you for the replies, i'll check the power button as soon as possible since i don't have the phone with me right now. If that's not the cause, i think i'll do an emergency recover with kies as suggested by Cy4n1d3.
Now i still have a doubt, CM11 should have the fix for the sudden death syndrome merged into its code right? I'm asking this because if i'm right i could exclude sds as the cause of the problem...
Rebooting is not an SDS symptom, SDS is totally dead -suddenly.
Power button failure is diagnosed by inserting the battery, if it turns on by itself then button contacts are shorted out.
Your problem sounds more like corruption of the cache or dalvik, wipe and reflash your rom or go back to stock to test. Check MD5 of downloads and don't restore anything before you test.
Hey all,
Just some details before the background.
I was running a stock with a unlocked bootloader for a while now. I basically only use my nexus now to watch netflixs and HBOgo. Got the tablet over four years ago.
This morning after it's nightly charge I went to unlock it and it froze up. I rebooted it, noticed the date was off (Jan 1st) and froze after I unlocked it. Reboot again, it made it to the screen where it was optimizing my apps but the screen starting flickering and having artifacts, and powered off. Now it will power itself off 5 or so seconds into the boot animation.
I've tried going into recovery via the bootloader but when I select it and hit the power button it just turns it self off. I then used the nexus toolbox to reflash a stock rom (along with a factory reset), and TWRP. I tried booting up again and same thing. I then went into TWRP and start troubleshooting, but the screen is starting to flicker and have artifacts, then powers off.
Is the hardware dead on this?
Sorry for the jumbled mess of details, i've been bouncing around trying to troubleshoot/fix this.

My nexus 10 has the boot loop problem and I think I have been left with the only option of Re-Partition but I need the PIT file. Can anybody help or provide this file?
I have tried everything else (fastboot, adb, temporary custom recoveries, Nexus Root Toolkit) with no success.
Is the battery original? If so, it's possible the battery could be reaching its end.

hi all,
Just come back from holiday and SM-G928F edge plus (european model) battery was completely flat.
I charged the mobile and booted it up, loaded into Android then sounded like a lots of notification alerts then phone made a loud buzzing noise and crashed/auto-reloaded.
Since then it had gone into a boot loop. Tried holding power and vol down to reboot phone. Initially this function worked then no longer worked. Phone still stuck in boot loop...
Could not get into safe mode (hold power and vol down then release power)
Tried in recover mode (hold power, vol up and home), tried clearing cache took ages about 1 hour, also tried the format option, rebooted system and still boot loop..
Tried going into Odin mode (power, vol down and home) , used ODIN s/w and installed the latest XER version firmware, got success message but still boot loop...
Interestingly when I left it to constant boot loop, eventually it booted up Android now. However once I start using the mobile it intermittently reboots the mobile and then goes back into boot loop again...
When I did manage to get into Android I tried using an app to check the mobile health, strangely I notice it said I only had 1gb ram spare and the rest was used when mobile was factory reseted and I didnt expect so much RAM in use. During stress test mobile crashed and gone into boot loop again...
I am not sure this was affected by an auto update that may had gone wrong.
I don't root, just used stock firmware.
UPDATE:
Left mobile in boot loop until battery went flat, fully charged it and now can get back into Android. But it started to auto update some app and then auto rebooted/crashed and went into boot loop again.
Please help.
Thanks
Is there anyone who can help me please?
If I have my phone off, and power it on it will boot straight into the bootloader but have a black screen, if I press the powerbutton I assume I am choosing "resume poweron" because the phone restarts and then powers up with a black screen for 30 seconds before the animated part of the boot animation starts.
I have done a full reflash(afaik) from LOLINET using my device model file XT1926-5 and my region RETAPAC and when I reboot it still has the black screen.
I have Magisk installed and I believe my bootloader is unlocked, the only thing I remember doing was trying to flash TWRP but I have done a full restore since then using LOLINET.
Usually a black screen like this wouldn't be a problem, however the real annoyance is my phone constantly will freeze up for no reason, I will be mid way writing a message and the whole phone will hard freeze, I have tried doing another restore to see if this will fix it and alas it has not, so I am at a loss to what is going on, I have booted into TWRP and tried repairing partitons thinking something could be flipped and it was angry but no.
So I am a tad bit out of ideas unless anyone has anything for me? Logcat doesn't turn up anything interesting reguarding the crashes, I haven't found any events that are logged with ERROR,ASSERT or WARNING at the time of crash.
Anyone got something for me?

Are you able to get in recovery mode, or the bootloader just freeze.
If I try go to recovery it falls through tight away to the boot loader

Even if I use adb reboot recovery it just reboots into the black screen fastboot.
