Hi Guys,
I am running Pandoriam and have twice had issues when moving the SIM card out of my S3 and the next time I rebooted it would hang at the SAMSUNG logo and wont boot up.
I would do a cache reset and a Dalvik wipe but doesnt fix it, have to do a full factory reset.
Any ideas ? I dont want this to randomly happen if the SIM slips out when knocking around my phone etc.
I think it might have something to do with Hot Boot, because if I do a Hot Boot from the Reboot menu it has the same outcome.
OK now it appears it might be linked to changing the Lock Screen.
When I change it and reboot the SAMSUNG logo appears and then it appears to generate the outside (clock / battery) icons and the overlay text (no sim / sim lock) appear... but the lock screen background is just BLACK and then crashes and reboots to SAMSUNG logo and doesn't go past the boot up.
I have some of the same issues. I left my phone charging over night. When i wake up it was frozen. I rebooted the phone and know it hang at the Samsung logo. Needed for install to fix this.
I can confirm the hot boot option. It makes a new clean re install go into Samsung logo hanging. But you can fix with a force shutdown and normal boot.
Both issues was on Pandoriam 4 Final new flash will be 4.5 maybe its fixed.

I had the same problem. In the end, i must reinstall the rom.

End up I flashed again with stock kernel
and the problem does not happen for a week.

Strange, Just to be sure Wipe Data/Factory rest before installing but if you have its a weird problem because I have rebooted and reinstalled and re-tested the rom ALOT of times and have chosen most of the options and kernels and I have NEVER had this issue.
Never had any Problems with the great Pandoriam ROM... It's a beauty !!

Hi guys,
Sorry I haven't been around to update, I re-installed and tried multiple different sets of options and every single time I changed the lockscreen from the default and rebooted it would just hang.
I did all 3 wipes from recovery before and after flashes but same issue. (I flashed from recovery not PC)
As I was running version 4 at the time I upgraded to 4.5 and ran through multiple different sets of settings but same issue
I will try it again in a few versions but for now I need a working phone so I am running rXTREME V2.1 for the time being.

I have been using RemICS 1.3 with Semaphore kernel on my phone for a few months. I had a few problems with bootloop at first, which was solved completely after i flashed the Semaphore kernel and my phone has been running smoothly ever since.
However, today my phone started freezing and giving errors out of nowhere. I open a simple application like alarm clock and it says the application is stopped. I was only be able to open a few applications. So, I rebooted the phone thinking it would go back to normal. Unfortunately, rebooting revealed that my phone no longer can boot. It passes the kernel screen, goes to the RemICS animation and gets stuck there. Since I could go into Recovery Mode I have tried to restore from the backup I had from 10 days ago when my phone was running perfectly. Did not work. I had another backup from July, did not work, actually made things worse by stucking my phone at Samsung screen. Wiped cache, Wiped dalvik cache, did not work.. Made things worse by putting my phone into loop boot. I have tried flashing Devil kernel and another version of Semaphore kernel. Did not work.. Phone back into being stuck at RemICS logo.
Nothing I do seems to work. It just won't boot. I could try flashing a fresh firmware but I have some info on my memo application that i need to save as well as some text messages.
I really don't know how this happened out of nowhere. How can I save my data? Please help?
I've tried lots of ROMs, and been stuck in boot loops many times.
I've always got out of them by using Odin, and trying different kernels until one works, semaphore, devil, and an old GB one. Out of all the boot loops I've been stuck in there's never been a single time that one of those kernels hasn't worked...
Maybe I've just been lucky??
Edit: on reading again tho it looks to me that its your ROM that is the problem not the kernel.
I recommend using SMS Backup+ (free) from the play store next time

Hi All!
I flashed the last build available from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777398 on my P7300.
Every thing was OK (well, after the flash I had to fix permissions, since it didn't boot) until I had to switch the tab off. After switching on again, it didn't boot, black screen after the Samsung splash, back light was on.
So, I wiped/factory reset, and installed every thing again and it worked, until I switched off the tab again ... I can reset long pressing the power button and getting into recovery.
I already did the procedure three times, since I didn't find a way to properly boot when this happens.
Could anyone give a clue about what can be happening?
Many thanks!

Thanks! I will try it if it happens again. I am also considering to try the AOSP.
Mine always starts on the second boot. After the black screen after the Samsung splash, I just long press to reboot, and it always
works the second time.
Same here...
hello
i had clean installed the JB rom xxlsa on my note
my battery died while i was playing a game so i put the phone on charging
now when i turned it on its not starting
what shud i do
i booted into recovery and tried to clear cache and dalvik cache also reinstalled the rom from memorycard but still the same
can anyone guide me
Reinstall like the 1st time, do all wipes + formats then flash.
Is the phone looping ? Meaning on the glowing samsung logo, It vibrates then restarts the animation over and over again ?
Also, how long has it been like this ? Have you left the phone to charge for around 30mins before trying to power on ?
Im certain its nothing serious as you can still get into recovery and its still attempting to boot, So maybe its ROM / Kernel related.
EDIT: I just noticed you said its stuck on the Galaxy Note screen, not the boot animation... Have you by any chance just flashed philz kernel ? I had this issue the other day and I could only get it to boot by doing a full reset
BUT....... If recovery is working, Make a nandroid backup, reset the phone, then restore the apps from the nandroid using titanium backup. That way you wont lose any apps that you have installed since your last backup.

Well your contacts will be backed up with google but im pretty sure a nandroid will back them up too, including sms's
Titanium will only restore apps from a nandroid, if you want to restore other things, try this app
What is disturbing is this just happened to me as well. My battery also ran down while using an xxLSA based ROM and won't boot past the "Samsung Galaxy Note" logo. Fully charging my phone so I can do a reinstall.
edit: Just confirming that Factory Reset fixes the problem. All my data is backed up so I went for it.

yes factory reset solved the problem for me
but now back to 4.0.4
Just to make another confirmation: This happened to me running an lsa based rom also.
Same here. LSA based Rom. Happened 2nd time already. So annoying.

Me too. I tried at least 4 times to get v5 installed. It works fine until I try to install any app such as Titanium. Then it gets stuck at the first Samsung .. screen on the next reboot.
It's really p****ng me off. There must be a hell of a bug in this ROM.
This is the result of hurry. Let the developer test the firmware first. Not everything is flashable let the devs make a sacrifice first then on his recommendation install the FW

I would have never thought that I could brick my device without... doing something wrong. Here I come, completely helpless at this point.
Earlied today the phone had worked just fine until I turned 3G on, it wouldn't actually turn it on. I tried Aeroplane mode which didn't help, so I held power button and chose to reboot. This is when the problem starts. The phone booted itself successfully through its logo, then Devilkernel logo, and lastly showed the GamerzROM logo (which is actually the Nexus logo) and kept showing this flashing logo forever. Even after 30 minutes.
CWM works just fine.
I noticed that while booting it makes a single loop (Samsung logo -> Devil logo -> Samsung logo -> Devil logo -> Nexus logo).
I've wiped partition cache and dalvik, put the ROM and Gapps on external sd and flashed again. Nothing changed.
I am also worried about the battery - when I plug the charger the device turn on (the way mentioned above) and I have no idea whether it's charging or not, at the moment I am at 24% of battery so it's risky to flash without a charge.
Please, I need some advice to fix this, without loosing my data on the phone. I could flash another ROM, but that obviously means data/factory reset.
Thank you in advance!
EDIT: I've just checked in CMW and the phone is actually charging. Battery percentage rose up.
Have you tried to return to stock ROM ?

I've made a nandroid backup to a external SD and wiped data. The phone "amazingly" works, although I've lost all my configuration and data (maybe I'll retrieve it somehow from the backup files).
Must have been corrupted files or something.
Hmmm im running gamerzrom too since first day and i didnt have anything like this.
Did you change/update kernel?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Nope, I didn't touch anything. Just changed the DPI once I flashed the ROM.
Well I couldn't have said a bad word about GamerzROM until yesterday's incident.
Hope it never happens again.
Since a few days now, my Note 5 N920C just randomly freezes, hangs and reboots. Sometimes the screen goes black and then it reboots sometimes the screen is just the last thing i was using and then it reboots. It even happens when im in recovery trying to flash a zip or when the phone is switched off and charging.
I have tried:
1) Wiping Cache
2) Wiping all data / Factory reset
3) Safe mode (Still reboots)
4) Uninstalling all apps
5) Flashing stock firmware from Samsung Smart Switch
6) Rooting and flashing a new kernel (SkyHigh)
After all of this i still have the same problem. Is there something else i can do? Phone is not in warranty so i really want to make sure there is nothing else i can do to fix or understand the problem before spending money on repairs.
Thanks in advance
Have you checked that there is no power-related issues with the device?
