I searched the forums, looked like everyone who had this problem rooted their phones and installed custom roms, however i did not tamper with the phone in anyway, no rooting or custom rom, just nothing, this is the 3rd time in 6 weeks i get stuck in an infinite restart loop, i did two factory resets and i can't just do another one, i'm sick of this! there has to be a way to stop this, please help!
so far i have tried:
1-installing an antivirus and scanning (nothing found)
2-restarting in safe mode, the phone continued to restart in safe mode
3-uninstalled new apps that i installed recently
there has to be a way!!
Just found out that Facebook app is doing the trouble, whenever i load it the phone restarts, so i decided to uninstall it, i tried going in settings > apps, once i open there before reaching facebook the phone would restart, i can do whatever i want with the phone but i cant go to settings > apps, then i tried uninstalling it by pressing and holding the app icon and i was given the option to uninstall and i did, it starts to uninstall, then the phone restarts!
After that i went into safe mood, and the same thing happened, on both methods i can't uninstall it!
what the hell is this problem?? i looked everywhere and no one has it!
Anyone ??????????????
And now when i'm receiving media on whatsapp it's restarting!!
Maybe you're having permission issues, do you have cwm?
if yes go to your recovery mode and click on advanced>fix permissions.
try that but if it doesn't work than I can help you any further
And now it's in an infinite bootloop again, restarting, 2 seconds in the main screen and then restarts again, then all over and over and over and over and over again!

Here is a explanation for Download mode
Always clean the dalvik cache
I have the same problem before. The best way to avoid bootloop is to clean the dalvik cache every time you install a new rom. If your using CWM recovery, you can find that option in advanced tab. Unfortunately if you have stock recovery , just try to format to factory reset then reboot , as soon as you successfully booted, install CMW such that you have the option to clean the dalvik cache in the recovery for your future rom installation.

So I thought I had a working version of S voice on my ported VK Rom. I tried to use it after not using it all for a couple of weeks and it just kept saying "Say Hi Galaxy" but wouldn't respond.
I was looking to uninstall the apk along with all the other 80 mb worth of stuff in the .zip file, I found that using Titanium Backup one could uninstall system apps. All I did was use Titanium Backup to remove S voice...NOTHING ELSE WAS TOUCHED. At which point it tried to reboot but only to the boot screen then it would time out. I can't even enter into recovery using voume up/down and power.
I don't think it is bricked cuz it still turns on and lights up just not past the boot screen (I'm running the newest Siyiah kernel but can't even get to that boot image.)
Only thing worth mentioning would be that I did change the boot screen image using an app I found within a .zip file for SGS3 but I rebooted three or four times before trying to uninstall s voice using titanium backup, which is where the problems started.
I did find other Android users with different phones who experienced similar problems and it seems the only solution, at least for their problems, was to re-install stock firmware.

You should still be able to boot into CWM. Pull the battery and hold vol up+down and press power. If it works just reflash your rom or nandroid restore. If you really can't get back into CWM recovery, can you get into download mode (vol down+power)? If so, use Odin to flash back. READ CAREFULLY if you have never used Odin before.
To be honest, it sounds like you inadvertently uninstalled the wrong app. Always be careful when using TiBu to uninstall system apps. Hope things work out.
did you try entering download mode and using Odin?
i'm having this same problem except i tried to uninstall the google play store with titanium backup and i let it reboot and like your phone it booted to the boot screen then powered off c.c i've tried booting it into recovery mode but the screen only boots to the boot screen once then turns off again, and i can't even get it to go into download mode because it literally does nothing x.x i've also tried pulling the battery while it was off and putting it back in but that also doesn't work so are there anymore solutions i can try?

Try pulling the battery. Hold Vol down + power then plug usb. You can insert the battery once it boots.

that didn't work but after i put the battery back in and tried to enter download mode it showed the battery charging icon thingy but it was frozen, then it powered off again x.x i don't think usb debugging was on before my phone messed up so that also may have caused problems c.c
USB debugging has no bearing in download or recovery modes

Another necro?
Hi there,
Some weeks ago, after many months of low space problems, I did a factory reset instead of deleting app by app.
But after that, I started having some problems:
Home button doesn't returns to Home, but it still works for mousing off the screen when it's off
Recory is missing
I give apps root, but they don't turn root.
The home button ... well, I can survive without. The Recovery... I haven't used it since I installed it. But the root is very important, as I want to use many apps but I need root to use them.
So well, let's try another factory reset. But nothing changes. So... let's change the ROM. But hey! I need recovery for that...
I haved tried many times to root or unroot the mobile, but it doesn't works. I have done it using many ways in Windows and Ubuntu, but nothing works.
Do you have any ideas about how can I fix this problems?

Instead of tweaking your device by rooting it or unlocking it.. I suggest you to repair the phone's software by PCC or SEUS!

To install recovery use xparts from playstore!
Or if your bl is unlocked then flash any kernel using fastboot! Every kernel with itself has an inbuilt recovery!

I managed to access recovery. And I installed a ROM, hoping that it could repair easily all my problems, plus upgrading my phone at the same time. I installed this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880321
I downloaded all the .zips I saw, and thinking that I could merge all them into a single one, I did. I though that this was the way to do it.
I did a backup of the phone, and erased cache, dalvik and did a factory reset. I installed the merged .zip, and after reboot:
The phone boots, the "Sony Ericsson" screen lasts for a few seconds, then I get a black screen for a few seconds, and the "Sony Ericsson" screen appears again, to dissapear, and keeps looping indefinitely.
I have been trying for a while, but I'm unable to boot the Recovery or even the Download mode. Maybe I don't know how? What I do:
Press power until it boots, wait until Sony Ericsson logo appears, start pressing Vol Down again and again <-- This worked for me earlier for accessing recovery before installing the zip
Hold power, home, and Vol Down (When doing this, after each 10 seconds (after the Sony Ericsson logo fades away, the mobile vibrates shortly, like when powering it off)
Hold power, home, and Back
Hold power and back
Hold and Vol up
Have I bricked it? How could I repair this for installed each zip one by one?
Guess that by now, I'll have to search my wristwatch.
To Enter Recovery:
You have to press back key again and again while booting(on Sony logo appears).
To Download mode:
Power off the phone.
Then plug the usb while pressing back key.
To Fastboot mode:
Power off the phone.
Then plug the usb while pressing menu key.
To Install a stock rom:
Download a Stock rom.
Then flash it via Flashtool.
or
Use PC Companion to repair.

This was the solution. I though that it was some ****ty software that wouldn't work properly, but I have to say that it's intuitive, and have repaired my phone without problems.
Thanks a lot. This have returned my phone to the state of after-buy, which is why I did the factory reset that made so much problems. Thanks!
Hi there,
Just at once my Oneplus X got into a Bootloop.* The phone was playing music when it happened.* He keeps restarting after the very first screen.
He was running on the latest original software. No root and the phone is not unlocked.* He is complete original.
Does anyone have an idea what I can do to get my data back or get the phone running again?* I know I can try a factory reset by pressing the power button and hold volume down but I don't want to loose my data and maybe there are some other options I can try??
Thank you for anny idea or suggestion..
you had TWRP installed ? if yes then open that and connect the device to PC, MTP should show internal and external (if any) storage. copy your stuff and flash something else.

Go to oneplus x recovery, and wipe cache and dalvik. Restart and see.
Note: phone is not a "He", phone is "it"

No unfortunately I don't have TWRP installed. it's completely original. So I can't try that.

I already tried that, but it did not work. There was no option to wipe the dalvik cache.
Thanks..
I'm having an issue with my phone volume down button. Even though I can physically press it without any problem ,the phone itself won't detect keypress. So I cant even go to download mode.
At first I have tried to clean the cache,dalvic and tried the same rom - not working
Tried that volume up+ power thing while it turn on ... not working
cleaned the phone physically but there were no dust or anything -not working
Installed original rom after formatting my partitions still not working
Still my phone stuck with safe mode. If this issue cant be fixed can anyone suggest me to disable safe mode in this phone or suggest me a rom which is not having safemode function . I know it's really dumb question to ask. But I have no other option to left .
please help me out !
@SLDarKprince, step out of safemode by hard reset:
press Power for ≈5s.
Reboot into downloadmode via TerminalEmulator:
su
reboot download
or into recovery:
reboot recovery

the rom which i used , had power option menu which include "recovery,download,power off,restart". So i hadnt any issue with it. Also at that time it detect vol.down button sometimes. But now.. it dosent work at all
...so it wasn't firmware. And flashing firmware by Odin would be the way to repair any software-bug. But unlikely, that you manage it without power buttons.
A new phone?

Hey everybody. I was recently playing around with SlimKat for a bit but I wiped data and It's in a bootloop (I think) .Unfortunately, the home button on my S2 is broken, so I am unable to get to recovery mode by the normal means.
Is there any other way that I can access the recovery mode without using the home button? Unfortunately the phone won't boot so I can't use an app on Android to do so. I want to reflash SlimKat and I also don't have a PC. Help it's urgently.

The only real solution is to fix the home button. At some point you will NEED it!
There are ways to get the phone working though if you want to make your life more difficult.
1. Get a USB jig to access download mode.
2. Flash stock rom for your region from sammobile or similar website.
3. Enable ADB debugging, then use ADB to reboot to recovery.
You may still run into problems doing this, as you most likely will need to do a factory reset from 3e recovery after flashing the stock rom for it to boot properly.
Please use internet search and search on XDA for more info, but I'll repeat myself: You need to fix your home button
