So I just did a nandroid restore from CM recovery and my phone has been stuck on a black screen that says "android" in blue in the middle. There is a white shimmer that goes across the text as an animation but the phone isn't doing anything. Any suggestions on what to do?
so you are stuck in the boot animation i take it? Sometimes during the initial boot of a rom, it can a little while. But if you are still stuck, pull the battery, and boot back into recovery. Wipe cache and partition and restore again.
That seems to be the boot animation of shadow Rom. If you are stuck in a boot loop then pull the battery and try a nandroid restore again. Leave it, If it is stuck on the same screen for 10 minutes then mount your phone to your computer in recovery, download a Rom and put it on your SD card then flash it. That way u can start using ur phone again

I got a little problem here
I was playing Angry Birds today when everything just froze.. touching would do nothing.. side buttons/power button wouldn't do anything.. not even haptic feedback on the touch buttons or whatever.. This had happened to me before, and the phone would restart itself, blabla, everything would be cool again.
Not this time!!
I turn my phone on but the boot (HTC) screen will stay on for a few minutes.. then goes black, and then vibrates and starts again.
At first I thought this was a problem with my ROM (CM7 Stable), so I tried going to the bootloader menu. It came up, but was unresponsive. I try and try again but only some times will it actually be functional, and even then, when I try to go into recovery, the boot screen stays stuck.
How ****ed am I?

Not much at all. If you can get to the white screen and to the boot loader, it can be fixed. Do you still have your recovery installed? Try holding the volume button down while booting and see if it goes into recovery. If so, you can restore the NAND back up you are supposed to have done. If it goes into a black screen with a red triangle, your recovery is gone and you have to reflash it via the boot loader by getting a flashable zip file on your SD card and naming it "PC36IMG.zip". (Make sure you do not add ".zip" to the end of the file name, or it will be named "PC36IMG.zip.zip" and will not be recognized by the boot loader.)
Amon RA recovery zip file can be downloaded here ready to go: http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=PC36IMG.zip
If you do not have a NAND back up, just try wiping the cache and dalvik cache and try booting again. If that doesn't work, you may need to reflash your rom as if it was a new install and start over.
Worse case scenario, run the latest RUU and start over from stock.
Edit: If you did create a NAND that you want to restore, and you created it with Clockwork recovery, you will need to flash that recovery and not the one I linked to you in order to restore it.
If you're able to flash amon RA via the bootloader, I suggest you then download and reflash the hboot from within recovery. You can download it from the link below.

I can't flash the HBOOT, it says to reflash the kernel afterward but I'm on CM and don't have the flashable kernel on my sd card
Plus, after a little bit of being inside recovery, the phone blacks out and tries to boot. Something tells me it's some freak hardware issue...
Hello! I successfully flashed Synergy RLS1 on my HTC Evo and it was working after that. I flashed some updates that I wasn't happy with so I decided to re-flash the Synergy RLS1 update. It flashed successfully but I was stuck on the HTC Evo 4G white starting screen for quite a while. (30 minutes)
I battery pulled, restarted and went into recovery. I did a Clear Storage and after 10 minutes it was still on the HTC Evo 4G white start screen so I decided to battery pull.
I tried again this time going into the bootloader menu and doing a reboot. It was stuck at the white screen for 10 minutes again so I just did another battery pull.
One last time, I tried starting up the phone normally but was stuck in the screen for about 20 minutes so just battery pulled.
Is there still a way to fix my phone or is it bricked?
EDIT: I am currently in the -black- recovery screen and flashing the rom again. How do I flash from a nandroid backup that I made?
EDIT: Thanks! I was able to get the phone started up! I probably would have ended up making bull**** excuses to sprint (for being rooted) if it weren't for the people on XDA-Developers.
If you can get to recovery, flash a different ROM or flash one of you backups

How do I flash from recovery? I thought ROMS could only be flashed from an application such as ROM manager. Please excuse my noobness, I don't know much about this. Oh, by the way, I'm talking about the white recovery screen. Not the black root one.
If it helps to know, when going into the white recovery, I get a message saying that there is no image file or something (I forget) and then it lets me navigate.
EDIT: Oh, I got to the recovery screen, I am trying to flash a new rom and see if it will help. How do I flash from previous ROM Manager backups?
vol down to recovery and click the power button to boot into recovery and then put it into usb-ms mode and put synergy on the rootof your sdcard and then get it out of usb mode and volume down to wipe.. clear your user data / cache / and dalvik and then go back to flash and then flash rls1 from there and reboot and cross your fingers

Thank you so much!
So, I was continuously getting com.phone.Android process FC in CM7, so I decided to flash VirtuousROM on my Z.
I flashed the ROM, but since then the phone is stuck at the HTC boot logo.
I tried to boot into recovery mode by re-inserting the battery and putting the phone on charge. However, instead of recovery mode, the phone got stuck at the same HTC logo.
So, how do I manually boot into the recovery mode on my Z? What are the key combo?
I don't have access to a PC, so please don't suggest using ADB.

To manually get in to recovery hold volume down and power, this will take you to the bootloader where you can select recovery.

I just performed a factory reset (stock rom, nothing modified) re downladed some app, than froze and got stuck in bootloader mode. When I press recovery freezes again and nothing happens. 2 green arrows in round shape come up for a few seconds and dies... What to do?
Try flashing a custom recovery like clockworkmod through fastboot (taken your bootloader is S-OFF) then install a custom rom again through the recovery.
might be a bad download
check the md5 sum of the file and compare it to the one given by the dev
then try reflashing it
I had CWM recovery installed and tried flashing this Stock ROM.
Now my phone is stuck in the Google Bootloop with the 4 colored circles and keeps vibrating. Google logo doesn't show up but just the 4 circles. i let it go for about 10min then tried to boot back into recovery but recovery won't load. just goes back to the google logo boot screen.
can anyone help me get back to recovery or to install my backup???
I backed up my phone in CWM before i flashed.
Also when i flashed, i only wiped cache as the instructions on the stock rom thread said to.
can anyone help?
thanks in advance
i was able to boot into download mode and flash CWM again in odin and it says passed but still stuck in google logo colored circle bootloop.
anyone have any suggestions for me? it will be greatly appreciated
FIXED
woo hoo! thought my phone was gonna be a piece of junk.
guess i'll leave this thread incase it can help someone like me.
i fixed this by booting back into download mod and using odin to flash CWM recovery again from here:
http://galaxys4root.com/clockworkmodtwrp-recoveries/
then it PASSED but got stuck in bootloop again. so i held down power button (instead of removing battery) and shutdown and rebooted to recovery.
then i was able to install my backup!

Holding power + volume up to boot, or just volume up during a reboot will send you into recovery. Just for future reference...
Hi,
I tried using CWM to flash Atomic GB to my Xperia Play 800x, and when it gets to the loading screen, the logo thing just spins. It does not work. I tried getting back in the recovery system to restore my phone to my backup, but when I take the battery out, and turn it back on, it won't boot into recovery. I'm pressing the vol down button, but it won't boot to recovery. What do I do? Please help.
Thank you.
Got It

Forgot that I could use flash boot to reflash stock firmware. So I was able to start over. Whew...
