I'm sorry to have to ask, but I'm at a loss at this point, I've fixed this problem 3 times, and it keeps coming back.
AT&T tilt, unlocked, Solace 3.1 ROM
HardSPL 2.97
The phone works perfectly fine, except when I have to restart it, then it gets locked in the Bootscreen....and becomes very difficult to get it out. I try a soft reset, hard reset, nothing seems to work.
When this originally happened, I reloaded Solace 3.1 only to have it continue to be locked in the boot mode. Finally I I noticed the camera button and the power button appear to get locked into the on position, so i would manually create space between the button, and the actual activating button within the phone. It has worked 3/200 times I have had this problem. Overall I solved it by never restarting or resetting the phone, but eventually even with a ram cleaning program it becomes a problem.
If I'm thinking of the wrong solution let me know, it now appears to be stuck again in the on position for the power button....I basically ripped off the outer camera button, and now have to manually press the small one within the phone to activate it manually. I still can't get it off the bootloader, and its quite a frustrating problem.
Again, everything software wise works like a charm, I would have to think it isn't software related. Any ideas? I'm at a loss at this point, and using my phone from 2 years ago as a result.
Have U tried using another ROM besides the Solace ?
I bought this phone hardly used from Canada and was simlocked so I did all the hard spl'ing, sim unlocking and all the other "ings and installed the brilliant DonSalari ROM worked beautifully for around 7 months and I took care of it. I never installed anything else of messed about with any settings.
But two days back after heavy usage the battery almost died and I came on put it on recharge and now its going into the reboot loop.
I hard reset it, reflashed the radio, took out the battery for hours and a lot of other things I read about here and none of them work.
It will sometimes boot up and become normal for a few minutes and after a while go back to its cycle. Currently it wont even stay on long enough to hook up to my PC. But sometimes holding the reset button helps and that was how I was able to reflash the radio
Anybody got any ideas. My phone is still newish and I seriously cannopt afford a new one now
Any advice would be more than welcomed
Thanks in advance
You could try the radio 10.00.25.05.
As least for me, all radios but 10.00.25.xx makes my diamond keep in this reboot loop.
I'm trying to figure out why that happen, but it seems that no one knows.
Hi, i've just got this same problem
had this phone for a while now, about 15 months, just finished a phonecall 5-10 minutes ago phone reset, thought how odd, and now it just keeps resetting after the loading screen disappears, have now hard reset it, and still doing it.
will try flashing a new radio see if it solves it
i have radio version 1.17.25.09 using 2.07 shaks which have been using for the last 6 months or so i think without any troubles!
*edit*
flashed 10.00.25.05. seems to be working now
annoyingly i hard reset first and i've just had a new harddrive on my pc so lost all my contacts
thanks

Just after buying my diamond I changed to hardspl, radio and rom, and it was like your situation, just after a few days working I had to hard reset, because it starts to auto reset. After the hard reset, everything was fine again for a few more days. Then I tried to change the radio to the more used one, 10.00.25.05. The problem was gone until some days ago, when I decided to try Security Unlock and 1.17.xx radio, and the problem was back. I reverted to 10.00.25.05, everything was fine again, except the wifi, now I can't connect to the internet, just to local network (no problems with other phones using the same wifi hotspot).
Before chaging back to 10.00.25.05, I have also tried a lot of things, many hardspl, mtty, different roms, security unlock, removed security unlock, diferent radios, but the only ones that really worked were: 10.00.25.xx and 10.02.xx. With 10.08.xx radio I could partially use the phone, but sense 2.5 didn't worked and neither phone network.
Now I'm using 10.02.25.32 for 1 day and a half. No problems until now, no resets, network and sense working fine, battery is good (it's 75% on the second day). I'll try for more days and see if everything is ok.
Sorry for your contacts
That happened to me once, now I always backup my contacts in internal storage and also in 2 computers. Lots of version, good that PinBackup writes the date on the file, easier to see which one is newer
Thanks for sharing your situation. I'm trying to figure out what can be done to solve this problem, more experiences is more information for my "research"
lucky I had a backup from december so still got most of them!
I may try a few radio's next week since i've got a lot of free spare time at the mo.
may try a few different roms as well and see how it goes!
Finally solved this and all it needed was a good 15 hour recharge and now its back to completly normal
hrmm, mine starting rebooting again earlier, again just after a phonecall, although this time i was driving and i didn't answer it but it kept rebooting, taking the battery out for a few minutes and its stopped now, will try flashing a different rom next week and see what happens
i'll leave it to charge overnight too, i did try a different battery incase it thought the battery was low as i'm using the offical extended one, but still did it with the original
restarting prob...
hello same problem here too..plz provide me the link too..for the radio 10.02.25.32

Well the hd on my computer fried not long after posting my last message so I didn't get time to try out different roms/radio's
still using the 10.00.25.05, since i've last posted its been fine, however it has started to reboot itself sometimes, battery showing as 30/40% starts rebooting then battery shows as 2%, although i've recently been moving between houes and haven't had time to charge it properly.
i've also noticed HSPDA recention is a million times better with this radio, I have another diamond (well my partners) and she barely gets good reception with HSPDA, in our home i generally get 2-3 bars and she can't get anything, she's using 1.17.x.x strangly she's never had the phone restart with her, and has been using that radio longer than I had been.
also for the radios, you can either search for the thread or click this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470306
Hi,
I've started to have a problem with my WP7 HD7 about a week ago. When I try to start the camera it flashes up so I see the controls for a second then they disappear, this happens using the camera icon and the button on the side. I was running the NoDo update when it first happen, then I upgraded to the Mango beta and I was able to access the camera, but now the problem has occurred again. Last night I reset the phone, wiping all the apps and settings but it still happened upon first boot. I also left the battery out over night and rebooted it several times today with no success. Any ideas?
Fixed it!
I ended up taking it apart and found that the camera module was loose, turns out its a common problem. Works now
Okay, I have been having a serious issue with my D3 lately. One time, my phone just randomly rebooted, and then it would get stuck at the red "Droid Eye" screen, where it would be laggy and such after a while. Eventually the screen would time out in like 2 minutes. After it turned off, I could not get it to turn back on. Basically dead, except I could still get notifications and even a phone call. But I could not act on any of them. it's like the phone's heart is still beating, but I can't turn the screen on. I pull the battery and reboot and it does it again. SOMETIMES if I keep touching the red eye screen I can get to get to the lock screen, but the wallpaper won't load and it's basically frozen. I even tried booting into safe mode and that didn't help. I took it to Verizon, they said they've a couple other people with a similar issue on the forums. They did a factory reset, and that has been the only solution to the issue. I have had it 3 times now, and this time I'm sticking with the Blur launcher and keeping only the essential apps installed. I'm assuming this is a software issue, and I'm currently trying to figure out if it is related to a certain app that was installed. Hoping they will fix this with an update! ANYBODY ELSE HAVING THIS ISSUE? if so, any leads on another fix or what it could be?
sounds like a software issue. a factory reset doesn't do anything other than change the software.
I had a similar issue on my droid 1. it was rooted and when I installed a gingerbread from I forgot who, it got stuck at the eye, kept rebooting, and occasionally, i'd get calls and it still wouldn't work. I look forward to root.
out of curiousity, did you have to take it to the store to factory reset or is there an option for it in the bootloader(I know its locked but I have no idea to what degree)
The first time I took it to the store they did it for me, but yeah there's an option in the bootloader. Just took my back to Verizon cuz this was the 4th time it's done it, they're sending me a new one! It's okay, cuz my nice screen open 'click' sound was gone on the keyboard lol
Hey all! New here. I just soft bricked my phone, i woke up to it not booting. I tried various fw in Odin, but no success. This is my day to day use phone, I don't have anything else, so I'd like to make it work again ASAP, hopefully without factory reset.
Hi
what manipulation did you do to get there before flashing a lot of stuff in odin?
I've been just pressing the buttons all around, then I read about Odin, so I tried it. Now my battery died, let's see if I can get to wipe the cache...
Update: no success. Is there a way to get it into recovery? the old volume up+bixby doesn't seem to work.
Sometimes its because the recovery itself is error so that button combination is not working..
Charge your battery until full, then factory reset it with odin, let see if that works
But before you do that make sure you download correct fw that match your phone model. dont try all fw available there, make sure you download fw for SM N950F..
Well it worked and it broke again... Back to square one.
Your infos are kinda vague.
Did you modify your phone and it got triggered by user-action, or did it hit the fan by itself?
I think it was a suicide attempt, I never flashed before, only major thing was just a battery change in a samsung service last summer. It's weird, because since last time it turned on again, but seems like the wifi didn't want to communicate, plus as I look back, sometimes it restarted when I touched the wifi or some random setting. Somewhere else I read that it could be a motherboard failure.

This was happening to me too before my phone just started bootlooping to recovery
Well it's been a few months, so a little update: it still reboots sometimes all out of nowhere, but now I have a different problem: tried to log into a mcdonalds app and it says it detects a security issue. Not that i'll cry over it, but definitely interesting. Anyway, I really think this is some sort of hardware issue related to wifi, because every time it started rebooting, about one out of two times i was turning the wifi on or off. Also sometimes the wifi just wasn't available or working, strengthening my thought. As I read on other threads, this is probably some manufacturing/serial issue, that just happens to come forth after all these years. Probably the last time I bought a Samsung...
