New 2.3.6 update caused continuous rebooting

[boodie11]

I updated my Boost Samsung transform ultra yesterday to 2.3.6- the auto update from Boost. Now it just keeps rebooting over and over. the battery gets hot and drains quickly. any ideas before I take it out and run over it repeatedly?


Update: Doing a reset with *#7780# seems to have fixed the problem but requires me to redo everything. At least it has stopped rebooting! I would be very wary of Android updates for your phone if this is typical. My phone is stock - not rooted - and still this type of issue. This might be a smart phone but for it to run well you need to put as little as possible on it and dump everything you do not use! If you put a lot of stuff on it it just gets cranky and ever more Windoze - like! Having this phone has made me appreciate Apple's IOS even more! My Apple devices just run!

were you rooted? OTA update and root don't mix well.
either way you can try odin (in all things root section) to rollback to 2.3.4. from there you can stay with 2.3.4 or update to 2.3.6. and with either you can be either rooted or unrooted. (so many options...)
hope one of this works.
if not you might need to send it in for repairs
and btw as tempting as it might be, running over over the phone repeatedly would probably void the warranty

I updated my wife's non rooted over the air with no problems. She has 50 apps or so and didn't have to reset anything. Mine is rooted so no OTA (over the air) updates for me. If you were rooted, you shouldn't have done an OTA update

Some people just have bad luck I guess.

He said it wasn't rooted when he did update. However, if he had these problems with it, it could have been any number of things that went wrong during update, like losing service during the update. Or as he is raving about iPhones being superior to Android on an Android forum... Just saying.

I lol'd...

But in all seriousness that is apples greatest strength... Of course if samsung put out only one phone at a time and only a new one once every year+ I bet samsungs would "just work" too. Here at android we have variety and thus the spice of life.

Also lets not forget that apple is not perfect either... I'd much rather samsung make a phone with a bug that can be fixed with a software update then have apple make a phone that loses signal if I touch the phone with my hand without a case on it... srsly? wtf apple?
