[q] Endless restart loop

I've had my sgs for almost 1 year , and except for rooting it i didnt rly fiddle with it .
On new years eve night i noticed my phone was closed, and when i tried to open it , it started going in this endless restart loop where it would show me the Galaxy S gt-i9000 start up screen and then restart.I pulled out the battery and the problem got fixed, but now it's happening again and it seems i cant fix it.
I read on the forums that this might indicate an internal sd card failure, and if thats the case is there any way of getting my data back?

Power the phone down then push the on button.
Then hold down the home key, the on key, and the left key in the down position and it will give you a fresh boot and upload the original settings.......
You will lose all your pics and numbers etc so I hope you have it backed up..

that will get you in the download mode...

If you are indeed rooted a last resort can be downloading the 2.3.5 stock rom from Sam mobile.. Put your phone into download mode as that guy said, there are lots of tutorials about this online then use odin to flash. As I say this is a last resort if nothing else works.

Use 3 button combo to recovery (Volume up + Home + Power) and do a factory reset and wipe cache. You will see them from the menu. You will not going to lose your personal data. You will just have to install the apps again.

At first don't make factory reset. Try first to wipe Cache, dalvik Cache and fix permissions (all from the recovery). If it doesn't help try flash new Rom (no wipe) or make factory reset. If this don't help either try flashing a 3 file Rom with pit and repartition.

Doing a factory reset won't wipe your pics and all.. it'll just wipe the 2GB partition that is used for rom and apps.. your pics are stored on the separate 6GB/14GB partition and that is not affected when you do a factory reset.. all your contacts, messages and applications etc will be wiped though..

If you have gone into recovery and cleared cache, dalvik cache and fixed permissions, then the only option available now is to factory reset in recovery. You will NOT lose any pictures or music on your sd card. You will however, lose your installed apps, their data, your phone numbers and messages. Hopefully you have your numbers backed up with google or at least stored on your sim.
If this doesn't work, you will need to flash a new rom with odin. It's a 5 minute job once you've downloaded everything required.

Did as you said and its still not working, because i still have my waranty il take it to the " pros" instead of flasing a new rom.

Only way is to flash a fresh stock rom via Odin since factory reset wouldn't work for you.

Mate, all they will do (all they CAN do) is flash a new rom........ But, whatever - it's your phone and time.

Factory Data Reset

I gave my Exhibit 2 4G to my wife and need to do a factory data reset to remove all of my contacts, etc. I have tried several times (Settings-Privacy-Factory Data Reset) and a screen appears saying that the reset is taking place and the small blue icon starts spinning. But, nothing happens. I let it stay that way for over a half hour once and it just kept going. The phone is rooted with cwm.6012.t679 and has Peach Sunsrise ROM installed. Any help out there?

yea go to cwm and do a factory data reset from there

Samsung Keyboard crash

I love my new Note 4, but I experience twice in the last week of this new phone that is says: Samsung Keyboard has stopped working and then the keyboard would be stuck at the bottom of the screen. After trying to fix it for a few seconds, it would reboot itself. Anyone else has this problem? Solutions?

Try clearing the cache maybe that will help.

im also having the same exact problem after updating to lollipop. I've wiped cache in boot and all it did was cause one of my chargers to not fast charge anymore. but my keyboard is still crashing atleast 5 times a day. this happens whenever I long press and letter for a symbol, it doesnt matter what app im in, if i try to type a symbol through shortcut by long pressing a letter, 4 out of 5 times my keyboard will crash. I've been trying to find the solution to this but no luck.

I bet that all three of you did not do a full and complete wipe including factory reset
before you odin flashed the new lollipop COD6 firmware.
If that was the case then go into twrp recovery and do a full wipe including factory reset
but don't reboot the phone, navigate twrp to the "download mode" option and click that
and then get odin ready and re-flash the phone with the lollipop firmware.
A full wipe always includes system,data,cache,dalvik cache and last but not least factory reset.
Be sure to do a nandroid backup in twrp before flashing anything.
Good luck!

Thanks for the advice! I just checked my baseband. It is COD6 and I did do wipe cache when I update it from 4.4 to 5.0.1. If the random reboot show up again, I'll do factory reset + full wipe

[Q] My phone has strange reboots...

Hi! I'm going to explain this situation (sorry, but I'm using the translator for this )
I've been using CM12.1 for some time (almost a year), and the only issues I had were restarts for RAM saturation, but one day, then one of those restarts started happening every 5 minutes. I thought maybe some app was the cause, and I started uninstalling the ones I could at the time it worked normal, but when I tried to uninstall the Twitter app, I realized that the problem started there. Immediately restarting, so I decided to freeze the app with LuckyPatcher. So far so good, but today I tried to upgrade to CM13, but I could not get into TWRP, I had to flash CWM, but when I tried to give a factory reset it was reset to "format / data". All other partitions are formatted, but Data is the only one that is giving me that problem.
What's going on???

Galaxy Note 9 Mid screen not respond to touch

Hi I hope you all will be fine.
Model# N960U1
Yesterday I updated to andriod pie. After updating I got all new look nd software but one thing note that the mid section of my screen didn't respond to touch. Along with that some times screen freez nd after ten seconds it come back to life. I have tried wipe cache and safe mode start but nothing help. I tried another method like backup data nd factory reset after that phone start working normal but after twelve hour phone of use and encounter the same issue now u can't do that every time to reset. Please advise a solution..

Does it happen if you boot in safe mode? If not there might be some app conflicting. If it is still occurring in safe mode then try factory reset but no data restore. If the issue comes back contact Samsung for repair.

Have you tried backing up only your messages, files and photos without the apps and system settings then factory reset? Do that and redownload all of your apps fresh from the playstore then redo all of your system settings all over again. That could help a lot.
