Samsung Galaxy M12 smartphone keeps rebooting every few minutes!!!
It's impossible to work
Please help!!!

Put it into safe mode to see if it keeps doing.it. if it stops then start uninstalling apps you have recently downloaded.until you find the culprit. If it still does it in safe mode then something else is wrong.

If those steps don't work then reflashing the stock firmware

Even tried safe mode but not working
Please help!!!

I merged your post to the previous thread you started as a guest, and made you the owner of that guest post.

Do any of the buttons seem stuck? Does this happen without the case on?

Chances are the firmware has become corrupt, or the motherboard has failed. Is the phone still under warranty?

Try flashing stock firmware with Odin

You can fix the rebooting issue on your Galaxy M12 by checking the update for your device, clearing storage space, pulling your SD card (if you use it), and doing a factory reset.

Why remove sd card? How is that going to help? I don't want to do a factory reset because I have a lot of data that I cannot afford to lose!!!

Buttons don't seem to be stuck. Some apps suddenly got disabled. Don't know why? Phone is not under warranty

In safe mode also it keeps rebooting

Because it might be possible that the SD card that you are currently using on your phone is bad, due to which the phone is rebooting.

So, removing SD memory card might solve the problem.

If I'm scrolling through email or an app and the phone is going on rebooting, what does that have to do with SDcard?

My phone has very little space and it's not even allowing me to uninstall apps to create more space. IT just says uninstalling and hangs. It does not uninstall. So how will flashing firmware work? That also needs free space

Flashing the stock firmware doesn't need space it will be like installing windows again when it gets corrupt on your pc.
You will need a tool called odin and frija and a pc to download those to .

When you reinstall Windows it does require free space for temporary files. So how can you say this won't require space?

Geez do you want to listen or not ?
Your installing a new copy of the firmware which will factory reset .

Also the first step in flashing new firmware to a phone is to wipe it. Part of the reason you don't stop once started.

But that's the whole point
FRiom the very beginning I've been telling you I don't want to factory reset
I cannot afford to lose my data
So I want non-destructive options

Unless you had back up Samsung cloud or PC smart switch back up , Google back up your chances are close to none on saving data . If you have Samsung. Back up on in the device u can get some of your data but picture u won't . https://findmymobile.samsung.com/login
So if you want try see you can restore the phone that's what you will need to try flash through Odin .
