Help Boot Looping Problem

[eltigraska]

Hi, I have a week-old Droid Charge. Earlier today, the phone randomly rebooted and started looping on the "DROID" logo and red droid eye. I reset the phone using wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, & format internal sd-card. The phone then boots up fine, but when I try to mount the external sd-card, the phone goes through the same process. I have tried 2 different sd-cards, with the same result.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Edit: Phone is not rooted & never was.

Same thing is happening to my charge. Brand new out of the box. i was able to set it up and get email going but then when i went to remove one of the widgets i got a ton of force close messages.
I then removed the battery and now it keeps coming up with force close messages restarts and keeps looping the droid eye.

I wiped the data and did everything you did but it keeps happening.

help!!

This has now happened to me on two DROID Charges.

The first one first depleted its battery on July 4h night. Pulled it out of my pocket, and it was dead, which seemed pretty odd. Plugged it in, and an empty battery icon appeared, which seemed OK. Had to move it, however, and when I re-plugged in, the screen was filled with lots of small, jiggly battery icons, which didn't look like a good thing. Then the screen went mostly white...I let it go ahead and charge, however.

The next morning it looked the same. I couldn't get it to restart, so I did a battery pull. It was boot looping at the SAMSUNG logo screen--never got to the "red eye" video, just kept looping at the very beginning.

Verizon store folks had a replacement fed exed to me the next morning. It was a refurb, came with no battery, SIM card, SD card or back. It behaved more like what you other folks are reporting: It would freeze and reboot, or various apps would FC. I got on the phone with VZW techs, and we did a factory reset; this time, it looped on the startup animation.

I have no idea what was up with this, and apparently neither did VZW support. Anyway, yet another phone is on its way to me. We'll see how that goes.

I'm having a similar problem, except it started after I rooted it. It randomly restarted and then made the sounds like the red eye but instead had like an aqua "ANDROID" that has a light go back and forth and it keeps it like that until I turn it off. Has anybody figured out a good fix?
