<Q> Help, stuck in boot loop - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I already asked this question in the clockmod thread but it may be more relevant here, so...
"Okay, being the noob that I am I applied one of these(clockmod) without doing a nandroid. I am now stuck in the bootloop. I tried reapplying the stock clock in recovery without luck. It still loops.
I'm really sweating now...what should I do? Anyone willing to help? Please?"
Thanks
Bo
UPDATE: I decided to try to redo the RUU update and start from scratch...it worked, whew. Lesson learned. Backup is there for a reason.

[Q] Panic, semi bricked my O2 Desire

I have messed up and locked myself out of my phone whilst trying to root it. I was following the guide how-to-root-the-htc-desire-unrevoked-method/ on the theunlockr, I got to the final stage to gain S off and now when my phone boots it loads the O2 screen and then locks up.
I can open up the bootloader no problem and I have tried a factory reset but no luck.
I am rather new to this and I have searched the forums but cannot find any threads helping the same situation. Any ideas are more than welcome.
Thanks in advance

You can't S-Off a Desire using unrEVOked?
Can you get into HBOOT? If so, try flashing a stock RUU.
Hope this helps?
boot into recovery and flash a rom of your choice.
If you can boot into recovery you're not bricked.
Try clearing your cache and rebooting.
Thanks everyone, crisis over, I over paniced a little when it went wrong. I have just successfully installed oxygen V2.0.3 and so far so good.
Hopefully everything will be smooth sailing from now on.

[Q] *FIXED* Got stuck in a bootloop, would appreciate some help

Hello, so I am stuck in a bootloop. I S-Off'd with an XTC Clip. Then I put the PG32IMG.zip and ran that in HBOOT (-0.96.2000). Then I installed rmk_root_seutp-vivow.zip. I also installed su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip. Everytime I would reboot I'd get stuck at the white HTC screen. So I figured if I installed another ROM in CWM Recovery it would fix it. So I installed MIUI 1.8.5. No luck, still stuck in Bootloop. Clockworkmod recovery (v4.0.0.5) works fine. Please advise.

EDIT: Did a factory reset on the phone and reinstalled MIUI. I'm up and running! Sorry for spamming up the forums, thought it was a lot worse off than it really was. I only posted after I was convinced I had screwed something up really bad. Thanks! And sorry for this post.

Possibly Bricked? Need serious help!

So, to start off, I had CM7.2 on my epic 4g touch. It was working great but than I dont know why, I decided to upgrade it to CM9 just to get ICS taste. But than I went to system and did full system wipe and thats where it all started. It restarted and got stuck at big android guy logo with some square rotating on his tummy. It was there for good 10 mins when I decided to restart. Didnt work and kept going back there. I went to CMW and tried reflashing it didnt work. I tried different roms and than got stuck in boot loop. Than I went to download mode and tried to flash stockcmw_EL26.tar.md5 and I got cmw 5.0 something running. I than tried do clean wipe and install different roms. it will either get stuck at erasing /data or will not install roms at all. So now three days later. I am still stuck with a bootloop phone with nothing able to install.... PLEASE HELP ME!!! Its driving me insane. Also, I do have it flashed to boost which I really dont wanna loose. I also have nandroid backups which I tried to restore but they all fail to restore /data and restores everything else but ultimately, it wont still get the phone outta bootloop.
Your bricked. When it didnt boot up right the first time you should have odin'd back to EL29, or whatever.
Your data partition is jacked and you will need a replacement.
You should have installed it exactly like the instructions said.
Also you could not find an answer in the other 100 bricked threads in here... You are not the only one with this issue. Take a moment and read the results of others which may of saved you from the Brickhouse. Sorry not trying to flame you just this stuff has been all over the forum for days and days.. Oh yea using Touch CWM tisk tisk tisk....
Playya out!

I'm stuck in a boot loop PLEASE HELP

I know there are other threads regarding this but I have a couple of different issues pertaining to it.
First of all I've been keeping up with nightlies for a while with cyanogenmod. I skipped them for about a month and updated to a new one two nights ago. It wasn't the best and i flashed back to an earlier version so that my gmail would work again. The bad news is that it is now in a boot loop. I have tried to boot it into recover to no avail. Now I have it stuck in ODIN MODE and I'm to scared to touch it any further.
I've used ODIN before but now I use a Macbook, so that makes things a little more difficult.
Any help would be awesome, I know there is a way to pull this back from the depths but after two and a half hours of searching has just left me scratching my head, and I know you guys are all pros at this.
I apologize if I put this in the wrong thread. I have been a frequent visitor of this site but have never had to post anything, hopefully I didn't mess anything up.
Thanks for the help in advance, I really appreciate it.
you have no choice but to use odin and flash back to stock FM. If you get boot look again, boot into stock recovery and clear cache and factory reset. You should be fine, i,m not sure how stable mac odin is but on windows it worked every time to kick me out of boot loop

Trying to update while rooted...

Hello,
today I accidentally tapped on "Update" (to 7.1.1) on my rooted Nexus 5X... Something you usually shouldn't do, but it was 2am and I was tired and.... Doesn't matter. After this my phone rebooted and almost instantly showed the dead android with the message "No command". And now I'm stuck there. After rebooting I still land there.
Since the error message almost instantly appeared and since I still can boot into TWRP (3.0.2-2), I think the update wasn't installed and I hope to find a way to avoid the factory reset of my phone. Do you have some tips or possible solutions what I should do in this case?
Thank you for your help.
Its odd this happened, when rooted and twrp installed. in my experience, the update will just simply fail and it will boot back up.... in your case, it sounds like something flashed but the phone didnt like it.... All I can think of is if you cant get into twrp, boot into fastboot and flash the factory image from google, you will loose all data though.....
EDIT, RE-READ you post, if you CAN get into TWRP, try flashing a backup... you should have a backup I hope, lol... First rule of root and flashing is make a backup asap....LOL
When I rooted my phone I did a backup. But the problem is, it was several months ago. So I tried the only method I could save all my data. It wasn't safe, I knew this, but no risk no fun.
My solution was: Download the ota update from Google and flash it with TWRP... Voila! My phone boots properly with the new update... But this method is like I mentioned before not safe and can probably cause a boot-loop with an overwritten recovery. I had to flash my recovery again, but everything works fine now.
