hello my name is joao 3 years ago i bought an lg L Fino and 2 years later it started to shut down and turn on and it created a loop of restarts until it didnt turned on anymore , i saved for 6 months to buy a 130€ phone cus i am not rish and i bought and leotec titanium print , guess what ? in the same day the same shit happened the loop of restarts i booted the phone 3 times still the same shit , the phone is off , charging and he turns on! and starts doing a ****ing loop until it runs out of battery , now my question is
CAN I FIX THIS cus i have no money for other phone
is it a virus ? and if it is i am sure it changed the binary sistem of the phone and THE ROM what it means probaly the warranty wont cover that
PS: i had the same SIM card on both and SD card , i already trow the SD card away can my sim card have the virus to ? or is it a bugg in the SD card that bricks the phone ?

Let's rule out the hardware. If this was happening on both phones in the same way, then I'd have to say it was something to do with one of your apps. Do you sideload any non-play store apps?

It doesn't sound like any type of virus. There would be no point in shutting down a phone and restarting it. Most malware want's your data or to trick you into giving them $$$.

I had the same problem with a Samsung Trend Twice and it turned out to be a faulty power button. Odd that it would happen on both of his phones but it's one more possibility!

no i didnt , but in the last one i rooted it with king root , i tried to remove king root from that phone didnt work i formated it and didnt work , is it possible that there was some corrupt file in the SD card the phone read it and broke ? cus i hope it didnt change the ROM files or the binary sistem cus that way the warranty will not give me another one

but the phone was like in a loop ? of infinite restarts

lunatic59 · Feb 18, 2017

A bad power button certainly would do that. But it's unlikely to happen in both phones. A corrupt sd card might do that but just one file is also unlikely. How does it run without the SD card?

Same , a loop of infinite restarts because its really unlucky have the same thing i had in my last phone , and whit this one i just bought it , it came 1 day latter , i opened it the phone updated i instaled steam ; weed firm ; instagra ; and facebook , i let it on the tabble wen i came back i saw that the phone was crashing some times but no problem a seconds afther that it started to do the loop thing i reseted the memory of the phone twice nothing , i did it again but this time i would start with no WIFI nothing to see if it does the same thing it did

lunatic59 · Feb 18, 2017

Do you have it in a case? Some cases will accidentally keep the power button depressed.

hiredgun · Feb 18, 2017

It would actually do it so many times I'd have to take the battery out to get it to stop, but once again very odd that it would happen in both phones of yours. You could try "blowing" the power button area with compressed air or something similar just to see. At least is simple, safe and free!!

i had , then i removed it , to see if it was the case but not ,

You could try getting a new SIM card, although I can't say i've ever heard of a bad SIM making a phone reboot.

The only other thing I would suggest is to backup all your files and data off your phone and then perform a factory reset. Then do NOT install any additional apps and use it for a week to see if it loops. If it does, then I'd have to say it was a hardware issue afterall. But if it runs without the boot loop, then install your apps one by one and see which one causes the problem.

A corrupt file on SD cannot modify the ROM. Unless the phone is rooted you can't change the ROM accidentally, only via a system update or (if your OS is vulnerable) by targetting a weakness in it to obtain root permissions - that is how stuff like KingRoot works. More recent OS versions have fewer vulnerabilities of this sort (and indeed I believe that KingRoot no longer works with receent versions).

I don't think it at all likely that this is due to an infection, but you can't get infected just by putting a SIM or SD card in the phone: a phone gets infected when you are tricked into installing an app that contains malware (i.e. a the malware risk for Android is trojans rather than viruses).

You can easily check whether the SIM or SD card is causing the loop itself by just removing both. If the phone boots normally without them (just lacking data or a network connection) then try with just one or the other. If it loops with neither in then you can assume that neither is responsible.

Bad luck is also a possibility. Your first post implies that the new phone started doing this the same day you bought it, which to my mind says "manufacturing fault" is also a likely cause. In which case the obvious thing is to return it on the grounds that it is faulty, rather than hope you can find a fix. You may think it's an unlikely coincidence, but a lot of phones are bought each day so statistically things like this will happen to someone, and hence you can't rule out the possibility that it happened to you. But Luna's suggestion: reset, don't restore anything, see whether it still does this, would be a good test - if it runs fine with none of your stuff and crashes when you restore then that suggests it's one of your apps.

i formated it

How did you try to remove KingUser?

Formatted it? How?

i Did it no wifi connection , i trow the SD out thinking it was a virus XD well shit , i dont know what is happening because i was scared if a virus messed up the ROM or the binnary system and the warranty didnt want to give me another one
