I don't care if I have to reboot, reformat, restore or whatever... please HELP! T^T
 
Do you have a backup?
clear data and restart.. then restore if you wish.
clearing data will definitely solve the problem if u dont mind loosing the settings and apps :p

Boot into recovery by Vol Up+Home+Power
navigate to clear data using volume keys and press the home button.. navigate to yes and press home button..
select restart.

Hi there, that happened to my phone too. The one who is at fault is the CYmera app that you have used. When my phone keeps restarting like that, I search the net for some solutions and even did the hard reset but its no use. So my last hope was to used the so called "flash via odin". Try at your own risk nga lang. But if you're scared to do it then better take the phone to a technician. ^_^
