I did the ODIN to MI3 last night and now no matter what I do the device will reboot shortly after it turns on and starts to update the apps and Sprint configuration. I've gone into stock recovery and wiped data, I've rooted and flashed stock MI5, I've even ODIN'd to MI3 just now and it still continues to reboot. Any ideas?

So I saw somewhere that someone removed their 64GB SD card and it fixed the issue, and sure enough it is working fine now. Anyone know how to fix the SD card to where it will work with the device?

I actually have a 64GB in mine, but even tho i havent faced random reboots, i notice something weird in the gallery after a while. I'm not completely sure, but i think my friend who gave me the 64GB micro SD must have gotten it from China or so. I plan to pick up a 32GB from a local store nearby.

I bought mine about a month ago from Best Buy. It works fine in every other phone and causes no issues.

If you are using TWRP the 64gb SD card must be formatted to FAT32. Even if the card is already fat32 it has to be freshly formatted. I know this isn't directly related to your reboot issue up I would give it a shot

64gb MicroSD Card fix that worked for me

I had this issue too. I would remove my card once it booted and it would work fine until I had to restart my phone again. The fix that I stumbled on that I have found that works for me is to. Goto Settings- WiFi - Advanced - and uncheck "Always Allow Scanning"

It's mentioned in the previously posted article link. Just confirming that it fixed my issues.
