So ever since I updated my phone to 5.1.1 the phone doesn't work without power connected to it. When I try turn it on it just shuts back off when the google logo comes up. It only stays on if it's connected to a charger.
Today I manually flashed 6.0 and the problem is still there.
5.0 and 5.0.1 was completely fine, then 5.1 came out with this issue.
I've tried recovery mode then holding down the power button on bootloader logs and that doesn't work. It also happens in safe mode, just turns off without a power source connected to it.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

sounds like your battery is dead or close to it.

I thought that as well, but it only started when 5.1 came out. 5.0 and 5.0.1 didn't have this issue. Surely it's a software issue?

most things happen at weird times, its just . my nexus 5 died 3 weeks ago. i flashed m, wanted to clean flash it again. so i wiped, and reflashed. as soon as i pressed , it went black, never to boot again. did the reflash kill it? no. it was just a coincidence.

Hi all
I reflashed an old i9000 with CM10.1 for my wife recently, and everything seemed to be working fine. Then it started behaving a bit funny and this week it started rebooting at random. I thought "no worries, I'll just do a fresh flash with stock GB".
However, before I could even give that a go the phone started acting even weirder. As soon as I put the battery in it powers on (without me even pushing the button) but it resets every time it hits the Samsung splash screen. Earlier today I could get it to go into CWM recovery and after clearing cache I actually got it to boot up. But by the time I had downloaded the stock GB files the phone was just constantly resetting at the Samsung logo and now I can't even get it to load CWM recovery using the 3-button method.
I can get it to enter Download mode, and it shows up in Odin just fine. But within 5 seconds it resets itself again so I can't actually perform a flash.
Any suggestions? Or is the phone just plain busted?

I'm just going to answer my own question as I've solved the problem but it may benefit someone else to know how.
It got to the point where the phone wasn't even booting to the Samsung splash screen, but I could still get Download mode to show up for 5 seconds (not long enough to flash). Then in a moment of desperation I got the original Samsung microUSB cable and plugged that in, and booted into Download mode again. This time Download mode stuck! And I was able to flash a clean GB ROM which is now working fine.
So the take-out from my experience is this: sometimes you really do have to use the original Samsung USB cable.
Weird.
Thanks for reporting howto ...:good: good to know

I have a similar issue where I'm trying to flash my stock ROM on my Epic4gTouch. When it opens up the download mode error I start to flash and all seems to work before it reboots. Every 5 seconds. I tried the original cable and it did not help. Any ideas??

its ok for me:good:
My wife's phone is completely stock, I have never rooted it or anything.
A couple of days ago, she started getting a strange notification with the android icon and something called Smith with the message that it is disabled. Her phone would reboot itself a couple of times a day and now it is stuck in a boot loop. The phone has been stuck in the loop for a couple of hours now, stopping on the white android screen for a second and shutting down, rinse and repeat.
I can get into recovery by ONLY holding down the volume key, which is kind of strange. I also cant select anything in recovery.
Any help would be appreciated, she is about to kill me and switch to an iPhone.

Follow the instructions here then. Be warned though, this will wipe everything, including internal storage.
The Smith file is some file that HTC put into the ROM that expired in mid-August. Ever since then, the app shows as expired when you reboot. Nothing you can really do about it if you are not rooted, but HTC is supposedly working on a fix that they will push via OTA.
However, it shouldn't be causing the bootloops as far as I know. If a factory reset doesn't work, then running the RUU is most likely the way to go.
Can someone please help. I have searched on here to find a solution for htc one continuously restarts to htc white screen. Powered by android in black writing. I have tried many things like holding down and power to get to fast boot screen but phone will just keep turning off and on again. holding it into the light while holding power button. no success.
It was working fine one one day then went to look at my phone and it was wanting to turn on and off, over and over again utill it went flat.
that's odd.
try pressing the power button and holding it for 8-10 seconds. If your phone powers down try to get to the bootloader; press and hold the vol down key and then press the power button and hold both buttons down for 5-8 seconds.
What ROM are you on? Custom ROM? Stock ROM? If stock, what version of android you on? Stock sense 4.x has a fastboot option and you need to disable it before you can boot into the bootloader.
Hi again.
I have tried what you have said with no luck. The restarts are getting more frequent and annoying. what I can get to is the bootloader then into team win recovery, and have tried wiping cache. but even this keeps restarting from here.
The sense version i could not tell you as I cant even get into the phone. but here is the downloaded software that is installed. OTA_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_Optus_AU_7.21.980.22-7.21.980.5_release_432037.
It is rooted and s off.
If possible at all I would like to be able to continue using software updates which I havent been able to previously do since installing this version.
Thanks again for your reply.

reflash the RUU that you have flashed back in November. If the problem still persist after that, its an hardware problem.
Maybe you have problems
With IMEI

Well if you can't even boot in bootloader mode, there's not much you can do...

Good morning everyone. So yesterday my phone was working just fine. I went to go take the dogs out and a minute later I come back to my phone rebooting. I didn't think anything of it. And then I started to realize my phone kept rebooting. It is completely stuck at the Google Logo.
I did power and volume down to try and go into any mode possible, but it just boots back to the Google screen and keeps rebooting.
Any idea what might be wrong?

As i installed update and clicked reboot to apply it, now my system do not boot. Phone always stuck on white NOKIA logo boot screen forever. I tried few times to restart it via VOL-UP + POWER, but it always have same result - never boots. Please give me advice how to deal with it
It happened to me too, in December already. Mobile is in service now.
They flashed original fw, tested and returned it with results no fault. Right after switch on and new Oreo update it starts to freeze and produce various mistakes again, so I have returned phone to service. Will complain with seller about exchange.

That really sucks. But what do you mean by various mistakes? Like your system boots, but some functionality is not working? As i said in my case it totally cannot boot and recovery mode i can't enter factory recovery mode by VOLUME UP + POWER on start.

Ach yes, sorry. First it stucked in logo Nokia and rebooting again... VolumeUp+Power does not work normally on Nokia.
It helped procedure found here:

Then I was able to make factory reset and mobile booted, but worked with various faults.
Did you unlock your bootloader , flashed TWRP and then changed the slot? Slot A to B or vice versa?
If so, then the solution is
How to solve!
I simply waited until the battery ran out
When battery was completely dead and no Nokia-logo appear any more >>
Then I charged the battery 3% juice without booting
and from there I entered recovery-mode with the help of a USB cable.
Holding the volume+ button while connecting the USB-cable
From TWRP-recovery I changed to the other inactive slot
and whooala, that's it!
Edit: I sucked the juice (mAh electric-capasity) out of the battery quicker with help of OTG-cable and an external USB-powerd fan.
Use almost any external max 5volt USB-powered devices available at home, even charging another phone unless the second phone doesn't reverse-charge, this Nokia can be used as a power-bank.
