We've got two G870A phones. I updated both of them to OA1 and re-rooted with Towelroot using the NE1 kernel flash trick. One of them works great, while the other constantly hangs up, cannot maintain wifi connections, etc.
I reflashed with the complete NE1 thinking that I'd do the OTA update again and see what happened. Now, however, the phone boots to the AT&T logo and stays there. After about three minutes, I get a message about Android.process.acore stopping, the phone reboots, and the cycle continues. I've booted to the stock recovery and cleared the cache since that's about all I can do.
Is there anything else I can do or try before doing a factory reset? Naturally, it's my wife's phone that's having all of the problems.
On edit: I did a factory reset. Hopefully this also resolves the battery life issues that this handset was having.

Need a little help here...out of the blue today my phone started continuously re-booting itself. Only gets to the HTC screen and then re-boots. I have done multiple battery pulls with no results. I cannot boot into recovery either, tried that many times as well. My only option is a screen that I have not seen before that asks if I want to clear all data and then reset the device. Anyone have an ideas? Running Fresh 2.3.3, had no previous problems.
I had the same thing happen today. I had just flashed Fresh 2.3.3 to try to fix the GPS issue in the CM6 830 nightly, and my phone started rebooting every minute or so. I pulled the battery and immediately booted into recovery by holding down <home> and <end call>. I was able to get to recovery, where I flashed a different ROM I had on my SD card. I hope this helps.
I was having a few problems with CM11, so I figured I'd start over from stock 4.1.2. flashed (as I have done many times before) via Odin 3.07. On reboot, it went into a boot loop. I never had one before. I re-flashed and got the same result. So, on a hunch, I went into stock recovery, cleared the cache (again) and made a factory reset (again), flashed the root.zip file, flashed CM10.2 and the 4.3 apps, and now it is running.
I'd like to know if anyone can say why the 4.1.2 bootup went into a loop and how to overcome that in the future. I think I might have disconnected from Odin slightly early. It said Reset, but I didn't wait for the beep. Later, I did it again, waited for the beep and now I am back on 4.1.2.
Hey guys,
I have been on 5.1.1 and rooted for about 2 weeks now (pretty much since it came out) with no problems at all. A couple days ago, my Netflix app stopped working; it freezes when trying to load videos. After reinstalling, clearing data, etc. didn't fix it, I decided to boot to recovery to make a backup and reflash. I used Nandroid Manager to boot to recovery, and now my phone is in a boot loop. It has the usual message "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" at the top, but if I try to boot into download mode, the screen goes black momentarily, and the same loading screen comes up again (and is still frozen).
My only thought is to wait for the battery to drain and hope a hard reset fixes it, but my battery was at 95% at the time...and I still don't know if I'll be able to get into download mode.
Any ideas?
Clear caches from recovery and reboot.

Were you able to fix this? I just upgraded to 5.1.1 rooted and Netflix won't work anymore. Stuck on the loading screen as well. I tried wiping cache in recovery and rebooted, reinstalling, clearing cache in app manager, nothing works.
Same issue
This sucks, I have the same issue and I didn't do anything different. I was running stock 5.1.1 with root and it worked, flashed xtresolite rom and it still worked, then today all of a sudden it's just stuck on the loading screen. I've tried unrooting and reverting to stock....nothing. I even logged on to my netflix via laptop and deactivated all my devices since, I assumed I maxed out on the registered devices....still nothing. Hope someone can figure this out, I know in the past Netflix did not work with some custom Roms... But I don't think this is the case considering it doesn't even work when it's stock and unrooted.
***Netflix only works on the TV when it is casted via Chromecast from my Galaxy S6
I have a tab s2, but the same story...running stock 5.1.1 with root since xmas morning...the last 2 days I get stuck when I try to start a video. Can't seem to find an answer.
is there a fix

Hello....Were you ever able to find a fix for this? I have had no problems with Netflix until today. I haven't done anything new or changed anything on my phone, but all of a sudden today it won't load any shows. Netflix opens fine and I can browse, but when I try to play anything it just stays on the loading screen. I'm not having any trouble with any other apps (Hulu, YouTube, games, etc.)
I'm stuck in the same boat, stock rooted (unikernel) LP, and now stock rooted MM..
Hello,
Today, while I was using my phone, it restarted itself and has been stuck at a boot loop almost entirely since then. It has successfully booted up 2-3 times but will usually restart itself within 30-45 seconds of booting and then will be stuck in a boot loop again. When it has started up its usually after it has been bootlooping for a while. I'm rooted and using xTreme Rom v2.0. I have had occasional random reboots here and there before but the phone always booted right up again without any issues. I haven't done anything with root/recovery since early September.
I've tried doing a factory hard reset without any luck. My phone booted up after I tried the hard reset and it was like the reset didn't happen. I can't boot into TWRP. I can boot into download mode and I tried to reset using kdz. It got to 100% but the the phone restarts and is back in the boot loop (then the lg flash tool gets an error and force quits). I've tried removing my sd and sim cards, I've tried swapping to a different battery, I've tried leaving the battyer out and letting the phone cool down. Nothing is working. I have noticed that when the phone is going to boot up correctly the full LG animation plays. When the phone is going to boot loop I only get a static LG Powered by android image.
Any suggestions?
Since I tried to rest using kdz I can't get past the boot loop...Device also isn't recognized when using adb
edit: It booted up once this morning and went to the initial set up screen, like the kdz worked. But about 30 seconds-a minute later the phone locked up, rebooted and has been stuck in a boot loop since.
That's weird..
So the KDZ goes through all the way successfully.
Phone does the update all apps etc.. and it still boot loops after a while?
Which ROM version are you updating it back to?
My phone just did the exact same thing. I'm also on the Extreme Rom. Everything you described is my experience too. When I use the LG tool it goes all the way through and reboots the phone but just keeps bootlooping. Did you find a fix? I've tried everything i can think of. Probably going to take it in tomorrow and get warranty on it.

I used the following method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
Download the correct KDZ file to flash back to and follow the rest of the instructions. You can also look at this video tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXO2SHqBiNk
The one you'll want to try is "Normal Flash"
"CSE Flash" is a full wipe that deletes all data.
Mine was weird where it told me my phone disconnected, but the progress bar was still continuing. If that happens to you, don't hit cancel, let the progress bar finish to 100%
My S6 edge is in a bootloop. I put off the 5.1.1 OTA for a while when my wifi would not turn on. Rebooted, still didnt work. I decided to do the update. installation went great but now its in a boot loop. I flashed the firmware (BOG7) using Odin. It worked. The phone was back on again but then it shut off after a few hours.
Its been stuck in the bootloop again. I flashed BOG7 again. Ive Flashed BOG9. Ive flashed the stock PIT. Ive tried ADB sideload. Smartswitch and Kies do not recognize the device. Of course, Ive wiped cache and factory reset. Attempted booting in safemode. All flashes were successful but when it reboots, It says "erasing" and goes to bootloop (Samsung powered by android).... Drivers are installed and working. MTP is not installed and I cant find the file.
Please .
same problem
I'm having the same problem with boot loop on g925v stock. I'm wondering if the op or anyone else can help!
No mater what I do, phone reboots after almost exactly 1min9 sec. Just enough time to select a language, but not get past the next "activation" screen.
Background: Phone has never been rooted, at first was on og5 and started freezing on the verizon logo, so I factory data reset, and after that nothing has really changed. knox has not been tripped, frp not tripped
First I tried flashing og5 with odin,
(of course checked md5, and odin=pass, then after flashing, I always tried several combinations of booting to recovery for wipe cache partition/ factory reset / and also power down by holding volume down and power button, then select boot in safe mode)
Then tried flashing og7, still boot loop
then tried flashing og9, 3 times, again, also many attempts of factory data reset/ wipe cache partition / safe mode.
I am starting to think this may be a hardware problem, BUT unfortunately I do not have samsung warranty available on this phone so I am pretty much stuck messing with it.
In researching the issue, I have run across quite a few similar freeze/boot loop problems all over the web, and never any real solutions, for both g925v, g920v, and other s6 models. I've also seen a stock s6 g920v that freezes randomly, flashing stock og9 never helped, owner was planning to replace the battery and see if that helps (I have not heard back).
I've tried looking at the boot log but I'm no expert. I know I can't downgrade, but I'm wondering if there is anything I can do with adb, or any other bootloaders that I could try flashing over the og9 (even if just temporarily, assuming I will flash stock og9 again after).
Thanks for any encouragement, help or advice.
I finally gave up on my GS6 Edge because upon carefully taking it apart for the 3rd time I noticed physical damage up by the wifi receiver and SIM card slot. My advice would be to try the things I tried (above) and, if it's not a hardware issue, it may fix the problem. Good luck.
