After using my 910t one night playing a game it suddenly froze up and I had to do battery pull. When it restarted I got the whole Unfortunately (multiple apps) has stopped and then it rebooted. Tried clearing cache - dalvik, reinstalling rom, using TWRP backup, and finally ODIN COG2 (firmware at the time) - and then thought maybe DOK2 would fix it so tried that as well. Same problem persisted. Wiped System - Internal - Data - Cache... I am able to get into TWRP, Stock Recovery, Download Mode, and ODIN finishes without any errors - but as soon as I get to the Samsung setup screen - it starts the whole Unfortunately ...... then reboots over and over. I did notice once ODIN firmware flash completed, the green android install bar after reboot would go almost halfway then reboot, wondering if thats a cause for concern as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!
After oden flash you should be back to normal. This is weird in deed.

Background :
Yesterday I was messing around with my phone and managed to screw up the OS while trying to install some mods and had to flash it again. Flashing went fine and everything was functioning including the market for the first few hours. I downloaded and installed about 10 or 15 apps (both paid and free) everything installed fine. But when I was installing Catch Notes (free) from the market my wi-fi connection lost internet and the download got stuck at 89%, then I went back enabled 3G data and tried again. That time when I clicked install , I got Downloading : catch notes, catch notes (it appeared twice) in the notification area with a circled number 2 appearing next to the download icon on the top status bar. But after a while the download went into “Download paused” state. Now I can’t finish installing catch notes nor download any other app from the market.When I try to install any app from the market now I get "Starting Download" and then immediately after I get "Download Paused" message and stops there with a green stripes animation where the download progress bar usually appears.
What I have tried so far
I went through this thread and tried most of the suggestions:
Cleared the cache of Market and Download Manager.
Rebooted in to recovery mode (3e) and wiped the cache partition
Checked the IMEI number, they match.
I tried clearing and rebooting the phone many times. Even waited almost a day and tried everything again. Switched between 3G and Wi-Fi (internet works on both modes).
After wiping all the caches I stopped getting Catch notes app trying to download twice, but thats the only change.
Any ideas ? I really don’t want to flash it again or factory reset/format SD card or wipe all user data.
P.S : Galaxy S GT i9000 (international), unlocked no branding, running stock 2.2.1 (JPY) [updated through Kies with reghack] rooted, but no mods or lag fixes installed.
Managed to fix it. I uninstalled the market update, and cleared all the caches, rebooted the phone and it started working.
Now wondering how to get the new market, if it doesn't get updated automatically guess I'll have to copy the new apk manually..
EDIT : New market appeared automatically after a phone reboot. . Everything back to normal .
I recently updated my gt-p1000 to cm10, by following a youtube tutorial. After Two days of use , i encountered a bootloop.
i tried factory reset and wiped dalvk cache, cache but it still ddnt work. i then put ICS, (CM9) but still ddnt work.It still keeps restarting.
then i tried to install the latest kernel, but after i did this im stuck on the cyanogenmod logo, it just keeps rotating. I then used odin and down graded to the stock rom, and im suprised that the restarting still ddnt stop. It just keeps restrating every 20-30mins or sumtimes just after u turn it on, (10sec). Pls help Me, i've dont everything told on the internet ( wiped cache, dalvk cache, factory reset, formated sys) EVERYTHING!
Hi,
It sounds a lot like a stuck power button issue to me. Especially if it behaves the same after returning to stock.
But for other opinions and ideas, I will have your thread moved to your device section.
Good luck!
ted my galaxy tab p1000 2.2 froyo with z4mod.
Then initially I installed cwm with ROM manager for galaxy tab T because there wasn't any specific model of cwm for p1000.
But but when I switched off and booted recovery, stock recovery always came......I could access cwm only through the ROM manager ("boot into recovery")....and that too if i choose any function it starts to load and when I press home twice it says "replacing stock with cwm" and that goes on forever...
So I installed cwm with Odin as I couldn't access functions like "install" in cwm without going into the loading phase.....but as the process in Odin finished, my tab started to boot and at "galaxy", the sceen got all pixalated and it went till " samsung " and the whole process looped........ Help!
I actually was trying to install lollipop 5.0.2...
Hello all. I have been in the Android root community for a little over three years, and even after tinkering with the various devices I've owned since, I cannot get my T599N to come out of its current bootloop.
A background: I had been checking some things in my settings app (running stock, rooted), and I ended up just force closing the settings app to get out of it quickly. Well, this action deleted all of my text messages, and later on it removed my notification bar and made my wallpaper go black. I ended up booting into recovery mode to try and clear the cache. After it cleared, I rebooted, and bam, the bootloop started.
Now, here's what's interesting. The phone is in a bootloop where it displays the first boot message (SGHT599N Galaxy Exhibit or whatever), and then it tries to boot into cwm recovery, displays the loading screen for that for 2 seconds, and just reboots again. I've tried installing a stock rom from ODIN with no success. The rom apparently loads onto the device but it's still in the bootloop. After this, I tried to install philz recovery to try to install a zipped rom to get the device to somehow boot. I tried to factory reset it for installing purposes, and it just reboots. The device will literally clear everything but /data, so that makes me think that it may be a file system problem. I really need to get it to work, as I am out of a phone right now.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried everything I know.
Hey guys. I have a bit of a problem here. My friends t mobile note 4 keeps freezing. I've tried everything i could and nothing will fix it. Is this symptom of the emmc chip starting to fail?
Heres what i tried:
- Used 3 different batteries, 2 cables.
- Booted in recovery mode to factory reset and clear cache.
- Odin stock latest firmware and downgrading. When i did this phone would go into a recovery loop giving me the message "installing system update.." then would either freeze with line artifacts or say "no command".
- Re-partitioned using pit file in odin + nand erase all.
- Rooted and flashed twrp recovery. This allowed me to boot up the phone normally. 9/10 times the phone would fail to boot up 100% as it would freeze.
- Tried flashing a custom rom, but would freeze in the process and restart.
Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks.
EDIT: I found that if i put the phone inside a freezer for 5 minutes, it temporarily fixes the problem. as soon as the phone warms up, it will freeze and restart.
Any resolution on your dilemma? My att note 4 is also doing this. I might try and pull the phone apart and try some kind of thermal paste.

Maybe we could try and spoof the temp? :0
my galaxy note 4 (sm-n910t) caught in bootloop . i dont know what caused it. the phone simply restarts upto first bootscreen, ie upto 'samsung galaxy note 4' and then vibrates and then restarts.this process continues upto battery is down or i pull out battery.the phone is not entering to recovery mode but enters to download mode.
i have tried installing stock rom from sammobiles but it won't help.i have also installed custom recovery twrp but that also won't help to enter to recovery mode,
i am trapped pls help..
You didn't mention how you tried to install the stock ROM . Did you use Odin?
I just fixed mine with the same issue. I was able to boot into recovery and download mode but mostly download mode without bootloop when I had the usb cable plugged in. I used ADB when I could to boot into download mode, but the buttons worked too. Trying to restart the phone only lopped after the Google screen.
I followed several guides here to flash stock with Odin and wipe cache etc but none solved my boot loop issue. almost gave up but there is a video on You Tube that said the battery warping in the cause of the boot loop. The battery, after/during quick charge, may heat up and change shape causing the issue. Today I installed my new battery purchased on amazon and no more issues.
Now I am on stock and have to find a good rom.
If you do decide to flash back to stock there are a lot of good guides. You may find yourself stuck on the T-mobile screen for 15 minutes when booting for the first time but that is ok. If you still boot loop after installing stock and wiping cache I would try the battery.

hi OP,
did you find any solution to your problem?
Hello all. I'm also pasting this in the T-mobile thread in case it can be of benefit to someone. This is advice to use as a very last resort if you are experiencing the recovery bootloop issue AND you don't have the emmc failure bug. I had the recovery reboot, sudden shutdown with no warning, etc. issue for the past two weeks. I tried everything on Google and Youtube to fix my problem with no success. I flashed multiple stock ROMS and recovery tars (stock and TWRP) via ODIN, but nothing worked. Oddly enough, I never received the emmc error that I have read about. Also, in the few times that my phone booted normally, I even loaded the Wakelock Power Manager app, set it to partial wakelock and my phone STILL continued to bootloop. As a last resort, I bought a new battery, but the reboot problems continued in Android 4.4.4 Kitkat, 6.0 Marshmallow, 7.1 Nougat and 8.1 Oreo ROMS. Well, here is what finally helped me to get my phone back operational. I had a backup ROM from a previous install and a TWRP flashable version of the same ROM on my SD card (in case the phone did not stay on for the full restore). I put the phone into a ziplock bag into a freezer for about 20 min. (thankfully this time TWRP stayed on long enough for me to do the following):
1) copy all the files I wanted to save from internal storage to a computer.
2) performed a full wipe (Dalvic, Cache, System, etc. Like when flashing a ROM, but this time also internal storage. Note: Please do not wipe both internal and SD card, as you may have a difficult time trying to load the ROM file back on the sd card (assuming you don't have a card reader).
3) After wiping, I was able to restore my stock ROM backup (or you can just flash the stock ROM).
I can't be 100% sure, but I think my wiping internal and then flashing the stock ROM finally did the trick. Since this morning, the phone has been pretty much back to as it was before. In either case, I'm sharing this with the hope that it helps someone else.
