Hi there,
My phone has started trying to reboot every 3 seconds. Where can I download an Android OS and how do I flash it onto my phone?
First time threader, not a techie. Be gentle.
I have also just started having this issue! Would be great if someone has some advice.
weird, mine started to have this issue 2 days ago as well : o
i smell conspiracy
however, i think you should just read up on some tutorials, there are tons of them out there
What rom? Stock 4.1 or cyanogenmod?

Wipe cache and dalvik cache on recovery, power off your phone and power on with pressing POWER+HOME+VOLUME UP.

didnt work for me, also bought a new battery, because other sources said this might be the cause of the bootloop. didnt work either. i have the stockrom 4.1.x
that i rooted a long time ago. so i will try to flash a custom rom on it, see if it works
---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------
i have one question left though: do i need odin to flash the rom, or is it enough to select the corresponding option in cwm? i did read several tutorial about that, most are with odin. my head hurts from the information overload, since i barely have any knowledge about modding android.
a brief answer is appreciated
edit: found the answer x)
So i tried installing cyanogenmod 11 with cwm, but my device keeps booting (half an hour so far) -> apparently i screwed up.
i attempted to restore my backup, but the problem is that the boot error is even present in recovery mode, so i didnt manage to restore it yet. any ideas on how to proceed`?

i forgot to update the thread, sorry about that x).
actually i managed to resolve my problem already and successfully installed cyanogenmod 11. also, the booting error is hardware-based. i realized that it occasionally occured after pressing the power button. apparently the button "presses itself" for longer after using it and this causes the restart. a lot of samsung-users seem to have this problem.
thank you nevertheless for your reply

Hi Guys
I really hope someone can help me!
I've searched the forums and can't find anyone else with my problem.
I flashed ICS stunner and that was working fine.
Then I tried LiquidSmooth and eventually got that working fine.
Then I tried to go back to ICS Stunner and this is where my problems start.
I had some failed flashes with CWM and I think I've messed up the kernel.
I tried to sort this out by flashing back to pre-rooted GB rom so I could reinstall CF Kernel.
The flash in Odin appears to complete successfully, but afterwards phone just goes into bootloop at Samsung boot animation.
As I flashed back to pre-rooted stock rom I don't have recovery.
As far as I can find, to install a kernel I will need to either boot into android (which I can't due to bootloop) or install through CWM (which I can't as no longer have CWM)
Can anyone help?
Try factory reset from stock recovery.

Turn off your phone, press and hold the three following buttons together for more than 10 seconds: Volume up button + Home button + Power button
That is if you are having bootloops after flashing Gingerbread using PC Odin coming from ICS
Sorry, I know this post is really old, i have the exact same issue. I dont have a home button so what can i use instead of that? also when it try to boot into recovery it just shows the open android logo.

You do not have the same issue because here nobody spoke of a missing home button.
So: What do you mean? Your home button is broken? Or you do have a device without home button?
After this is clear we can start to analyze your problem.

I was trying to restore my phone to previous state using Rom Manager. Phone restarted in recovery mode, formatted the boot partition and failed to restore. I applied existing of CWM ROM update.zip and snce then my phone restarts in Recovery mode everytime.
I tried one click restore using ODIN, Heimdall nothing worked. recreated the partitions wiped everything, loaded stock ROM but still the phone boots up in recovery mode.
Please suggest some pointers on how to troubleshoot this problem.

I had the same problem a few days ago couldn't figure it Out. searched and searched for the right image
Files for my Nexsus S. I ended up wiping everything and flashed all the image files with TRWP cause CWR wouldn't work
for the stock ICS and and it worked fine. Now I'm running the 4.1.1 jellybean it sweet.Hope this helps.

Yes the one click package for installing Stock ROM. it did repartitioning, wiped all data, loaded everything successfully. but after booting it shows up the recovery screen.

Hmmm... i've heard of cases where the power button on the captivate refuses to be 'unpressed' which makes it boots up just by plugging in the battery,
Maybe it's like that with your volume buttons?
Does it feels a little bit weird like it doesn't click when you press it?

Thats a good point...
The buttons seem to be normal. I tried keytest and the results look fine
Volume Up : 115
Volume Down : 114
Power : 116
Menu : 139
Home : 102
Search : 217
Back : 158
Moreover I can access recovery and flash any ROM that I have on SDCard. Funny part whenever I flash a new ROM I see a new recovery
Do you know of anyway use ADB without booting phone and putting it in debugging mode?
Thanks for your inputs.
Update: Issue is resolved
I'm not sure on exactly what worked. Using System Corps Recovery, I changed all the partitions to ext4. Made some random changes to toggles during boot. Restarted in download mode and flashed a one click stock rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
it booted in recovery, then clicked on Flash Bootloader in one click and restarted the phone in download mode and flashed it again with the same ROM.
Thats it. I feel that Bootloader did the trick, but I had it flashed earlier as well.
Thanks irfarf & Sammyazel for your inputs on this.

congrats!!
i do also think that it was the boot loader is the problem here
i had a few problem with my friends cappy won't go into download mode and whenever it boots up, it shows a bunch of random colors than a boot image. turns out that the last bootloader flash wasn't done correctly or something.
Confirmed - the problem is with the bootloader. Once I flashed an original firmware from Samsung, I was then able to install CWM and any ROM I wish after that. Not sure what caused the problem, but this was the solution in my case. Thanks to everyone who pointed me in the right direction!!!

Try running the keytest from recovery mode to ensure all the keys are working fine.
In my case it was corrupt bootloader that caused this issue. you can try flashing stock ROM with bootloaders to fix it.
All the best!
i have same problem. buttons work ok after key test.
how can i reinstall the bootloader?

What exactly did you do to get to this point?
You can find Odin KK4 with bootloaders here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
You will need to flash corn kernel with Odin 1.85 afterwards if you wanna flash a custom ROM.
Hello everyone,
I'm new to this rooting terminology. It was my first attempt after i saw this post,nightly build with CM10 to upgrade my phone OS to jelly beans yesterday. Have read the instruction and the first step was telling me to root and install clockworks recovery so i've google with the model of my phone and the android ver. of the phone that i have. And i found this:
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s-gingerbread-xwjw1-root-52954/
By following the instructions exactly of what it given until step 9 i failed. The phone keep rebooting and never stops. I've spent half an hour waiting and i though this is how it was and it still keeps rebooting. So i took the battery off and restart the phone it didn't stop rebooting.
Has anyone have the same experiences that i had before? i'm not sure why is this happening as i followed the instruction exactly what to do and that rooting guide. I'm pretty sure that i'm running XWJW1 (there is a row saying i'm running XWJW6) but i don't see where does it goes wrong.
If anyone could tell me what's happening would be great. I a noob i know lol.
Thank you
Update: I've just tried by following a different tutorial from here:

just run through My Android Solutions , link below for Odin getting Stuck to resolve your problem
first if you can go into dowload mode flash a kernel with odin and you would have a custom recovery next do factory reset. Pass the room you want to flash with recovery to sdcard, reboot recovery, format /system,wipe cache and dalvick-cache and next install a zip from sdcard you would have cm10 for example ¿ok?

Hi Guys,
thanks for the replies. I've got my phone back to work again by following a different tutorial. Now my phone are installed with XXJVU. but i've found that the swipe typing features has gone, not sure how can i get that back. I guess i'll attempt to root and install clockwork in a few hours later. If anyone have good tutorials for GT-i9000 with XXJVU installed would be really appreciate
Hi,
I use s3 mini and maclaw's cm11 with twrp. But now i cannot do anything with my phone. Cant delete any file, cant setup or remove any program, cant setup any cwm. Like deepfreeze software when i reboot system all changes gone.
i try odin with 2-3 different roms. i says pass but when i reboot nothing changes. Again cyanogenmod 11 starts. I delete a file from internal sd card, everything seems ok, but when i reboot that file is here, nothing happens to that file, no delete. I remove a program, everything is ok but when i reboot nothing happens to that program.
what can i do?
Sorry my english
Hello!
It's not clear... it worked for a while with cm11 and then you have this issue all of a sudden, or this issue happened when you installed cm11?

I had an issue with Odin/cm11. Device was recognized by Odin & flash went OK/passed but nothing changed. All apps n settings were intact. Every time I used Odin before resulted in factory data reset.
Why did this not happen on this device?
I'm using latest Odin & latest cm11 from the geniuses at maclaw studio.
Any ideas??

Hi everybody,
I have a Galaxy mini 2 non nfc model (GT-S6500D) and i've been using CM11 and CWM 6.0.4.5 or version after that and everything was fine. Then my battery decided to stop working. I got a new battery from a friend and i wanted to go back to stock rom and i forgot to wipe data and cache before going back to stock rom. This is where the problem appeared.
Now i'm stuck in a bootloop and cannot access recovery in any way. I can go into download mode, and i have tried another stock rom too, didn't work out. I tried flashing CWM 5.0.2.8, 6.0.3.2 and 6.0.3.3, it flashed but i still can't go to recovery. The phone just stays turned off when i hold Vol up + Vol down + home + power. Download mode works though. I also found a pit file and did a re-partition along with stock rom, it didn't work either.
Does anybody have any idea how to fix this or get past it?
Sorry because its my first post, i've been on the forum for some time but never registered.
Thanks ahead for any help!
EDIT: I managed to enter recovery somehow when it was already bootlooping or somewhat like that, im not sure myself. It's fixed now, Thanks.
