Hi everyone,
I've got a problem. My rooted desire running ReflexTSenseHD v1.8. Last night the battery went dead or so I thought then. Anyway when I got home and I tried to charge it nothing happened. Tried a few things (battery out, battery in) and finally got it charging.
The next morning I tried to boot it and but it hangs on the white HTC screen. Took the battery out, tried it again still the same screen. Took the battery out again and tried it one last time. I booted it in the bootloader and cleared storage. This time it booted, but when it finaly got to the lock screen it said: connect charger but couldn't get it off the lockscreen. Took the battery again and this time it booted normally and worked like nothing happend.
After a few hours I got curious if it would boot normally right away. But unfortunately, the whole thing started over again.
I searched the web, but couldn't find anything like this. The white htc screen freeze is known, but that is usually due to a broken/ faulty bootchip which in my case is not likely because I can boot (sometimes).
I haven't got a clue what to do next but hope any of you do.
Thanks for reading this, and hope that somebody has a solution.

ps sometimes I can boot in recovery but most of the times it will hang on the white htc screen.
Try boot into recovery and wipe the boot, cache, system, data, dalvik cache and do a factory reset too. What on a fresh rom. If you can't be bothered with that, use an ruu which will do a fresh everything, even the bootloader. If things still are messing up, talk to HTC it your carrier.

Thanks somehow I got into recovery and wiped it all, and so far so good

unfortunately the issue has returned. So far I figured out that if I wait long enough, it will boot but then hangs onto the lockscreen, show the empty battery and says connect charger. I can't unlock it so the only way of rebooting is to take out the battery and start it again.
I just don't get it. It can't be a faulty bootchip, I suppose it wouldn't boot at all then.
I already tried the steps above from meaple but this time I hadn't so much luck. In booting it again.
I'm getting a little desperate by now so any help would again be appreciated.

ps: I'm on a new rom the RCMixHD v3.6 which at first worked like a charm.

Hey all, first time poster. I wrote a real nice explanation of my problem, but i lost it so anyways, i'll keep it short(ish).
The EVO is less than 3 weeks old, running the latest OTA, recently rooted using UnrEVOked 3, nothing fancy. I ran the battery down completely last night (first time since i got the phone) and once i got to a power source, it wouldn't boot correctly. It hangs at the white splash screen, and then finally boots up but won't respond to any touch input.
Also the phone seems to be running exceedingly slow, the boot process takes substantially long than normal once it gets past the splash screen and my live background is freezing and seems to be stuttering.
I launched into the bootloader and i get a "Touch Panel - Fail". LAME!
I'm not sure what to do at this point, whether i should wipe it or go back to stock or what. Any advice would be much appreciated.
UPDATE:
I managed to get the phone into the recovery console, make a back up (i was planning on going back to the stock image) and wipe the dalvik cache and fix permissions. I rebooted and voila! fixed. Hopes this helps any one else who has this problem.
Moral of this story: Travel with a charger.
Another update. It froze up again in the middle of sending a text. I rebooted by battery removal, and it did the same thing again. Super long splash screen and sluggish boot up, no touch response when it finally came up. I booted into recovery and cleared the dalvik cache again. Seems to be working again now. We'll see if it does it again.....
Well, the screen locked up again. I tried going through the whole process again. I wiped the caches and battery stats, nothing. I wiped all the storage and data, booted into a clean stock interface, nothing. Restored the backup image, and then at some point, through all the rebooting and whatnot, it just shut down completely. I can't even get it to the bootloader. I'm really feeling like it's a hardware problem, and i've made peace with sending it back for TEP, but i have no way to unroot it.
Any suggestions? Please......
Theres unroot processes out there. I cant remember where but ive seen them. Mine gets sluggish too, but after a reboot its ok. You cant even get into the bootloader tho. I'm not even close to an expert but.......uh I'd 'lose' it and call the insurance co....
After 20 minutes after updating to the latest MIUI, my Evo suddenly restarted. It got the white screen, but before loading any further, it restarted to the white screen and repeated the whole process infinitely. The only way to stop it is to do a battery pull.
I have tried wiping the data, but the issue is still there. After selecting the option to boot into recovery, the phone does the exact same thing (cycling the white boot screen). I even tried updating the recovery with the zip file, but that problem is still there.
Does anyone know what's wrong with my evo?

Uh oh! Oh no! Read that thread. Everything you could possibly try is in that thread, it went 27 pages!!, and is still active. There was no solution found, but if something might work for you, it will be in that thread, I promise.
Hopefully an ruu will work for you.
I sincerely wish you luck.

not another one... ok so I would first post your info ROM, kernal, Hboot all the info in advanced. This happened to me last week. All I see now is bootloop post... this is BS.
Hi!
I flashed CM7 (Stable) last night and it was working great. I was using it today when phone froze on me...I don't remember what I was doing...I think I was listening to Pandora. Even though the system was frozen, I was able to hold down the Power button to select Reboot. Phone rebooted but it was stuck on the splash screen for at least 10 minutes. I pulled the battery but it won't get past the splash screen. I tried to get into hboot but the phone vibrated several times and then displayed a blank screen. Now all my phone is doing is flashing the green LED.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Marc
This could be bad, but don't panic yet.
It has happened to me before and a simple waiting 5-10 min and a battery pull has done the trick.
Do you have a nandroid backup? If so and the battery pull works reboot into hboot and then recovery and restore it. If not boot into hboot and do a full factory reset.
If after waiting a while and you a battery pull still doesn't do the trick try holding down the power button and volume UP. This could possibly reboot it.
If you finally give up I suggest trying this thread.

Thanks! I stopped panicking enough to be able to get into HBoot I still couldnt get past the splash screen so I ended up reflashing CM7. Everything is fine and dandy now. I'm keeping an eye out on it today because it froze when it was running low on battery...I want to see if it does the same thing today. Thanks again for the help!
Good luck...
I've had great luck with the CM7 ROM. Last night I ran my battery down to 1% before charging and didn't experience any issues. Hopefully your issue is resolved for good!!!
Glad I could help! I really like CM7 the battery is great on it. If it freezes again try to reflash it. If it works, Great! haha
Hi, I have been running JellyTime 4.2 R11 for few weeks now on my S-OFF Desire HD.
Today, I noticed that the light was blinking and battery was low 6%, so I decided to put it into charger, and somehow when I connected it soon I accidently disconnected the charger, and when I put it back, the phone probably crashed or something, since it went black and the white screen with HTC logo appeared and it started to boot again. Now, JellyTime tries to boot, the bootanimation goes fine for sometime but then it gets stuck after "playing" the bootanimation for a while, nothing happens, even if I wait 5 minutes, it's stuck, bootanimation is frozen, no matter do I have the charger connected or not.
So, is there anything I could do, or is reflashing the only solution? I did full wipe when I flashed the ROM.
If you need more information, sure, just ask.
You could try dirty flashing, but if that doesn't work you'll have to reflash.

Thanks for the tip, but it didn't help, gets stuck still on bootanimation.
Time to full wipe and flash it again then. Wipe&FlashTime
Happened to me a few times. I suggest a battery pull before anything else. Seems stupid. But it can work in some cases

I did battery pull several times considering that the phone refused to shutdown even when holding the power button for 10 secs, so battery pull was needed every time.
Anyway, it's now running fine when I reflashed.

I have the same problem since a crash on opening the outlook-email App (JellyTime 4.2 R9).
I found, that the "data" partition causes the trouble when booting. Formating the "data" partition with "4ext recovery" fixes boot-freezing. But this is not an option for me as my last (working) backup is a couple of months ago (yes, I know - should backup more frequently...).
I was able to backup the up-to-date "data" partition (with 4ext recovery) but when restoring it (even on an fully wiped and updated system) boot sequence freezes again.
Any ideas???
Many thanks!
Solved the problem with the data-backup. Instead of restoring complete partition the APP "AppExtractor" works fine for restoring data of the partition backuped.
For now, system runs perfectly.
Conclusion:
If system hangs in Boot-Animation use Recovery for backup of up-to-date system. Full wipe system and install ROM of your choise. After that restore SMS, contacts, etc. with "AppExtractor". Apps should be installed from PlayStore as far as possible. "AppExtractor" allows restoring of app, data+app, data.
Okay, so i have an LG G3 D855, few months ago it worked like a charm.. But then shortly after i started noticing random reboots everytime during using apps. Then it went in bootloop. I tried to turn it on again, entered recovery screen, choosed factory reset and it did, but then it went through the same process, random restart. Eventually stuck up in factory resetting screen. However i think i made mistake when the phone freezed in reset screen : pulling out the battery. later it lost its IMEI & kept heating up (probably tried to find its cellular framework of some sort).
Days passed, several factory resets has been done. Now the phone's at its worst state. It refused to get past the boot logo. everytime it finishes booting, the display just goes black, tried to plug usb charger, chargin indicator doesn't want to turn on, neither after i pulled out the battery. I have to leave it a few days to get it working again, but it keeps persisting.
Addition : The phone's also feels warm post the blackscreen.
Any thoughts whether can this be fixed or i have to replace something inside the phone's board?
thanks in advance.

Reflash with lgup.
Remove the SIM card and the memory card. try again. Full wipe system data ...
I've had the same problem. I've tried. Worked
found the problem. memory card
EDIT: Some kind of voodoo happened right now! I was about to unbrick again and wanted to give the phone a try to boot before. And it did! So no problem at the moment, but still a strong feeling of uncertainty...
EDIT: Phone is still randomly rebooting and gets stuck in bootloops

Hej guys, I really need your advice,
but first things first: Thank you very much for all of your wonderful work on custom roms and further support of older devices. I've been reading here for a few years now and was more or less happy to have up-to-date-roms for some of my phones.
Now I'm facing quite the same problem like OP did / does. Everything started with me, following this guide to root my D855 (coming from stock rom) and flash TWRP: you tube.com/watch?v=8VOgM3jLas4 (Note: The guide told me to flash "3__HacerPermisivo.zip" for updating the kernel, which I did.)
Next, I flashed a newer version of TWRP ("twrp-3.2.3-0-d855.img") than the one provided in "2__AutoRecMMD855.apk" by the guide above. I wiped dalvik and cache and after that, I flashed "lineage-15.1-20190410-nightly-d855-signed.zip", wiped dalvik and cache again and flashed "open_gapps-arm-8.1-pico-20190411.zip". I wiped dalvik and cache again and told TWRP to reboot.
Here is, where problems began to occur. The phone got into a bootloop, showing up the LG splash screen again and again instead of booting into LOS correctly and set it up. At some point I decided to remove the battery. When I did, at the same time LOS was just going to load, which I saw because of its beginning boot animation. So I screwed it up right at the wrong moment, I guess.
From here, the phone bootlooped every time, I wanted it to start. No battery acrobatics helped and on top I couldn't get it into recovery mode. Any attempts ended in bootloops. I think, this might be what is called a brick / to brick your device, isn't it? I found this guide to unbrick a D855 and followed its steps: open -freax.fr/guide-unbrick-your-lg-g3/
Believe me, it was a real pain in the ass! Because of me, messing up something or the phone getting stuck into a bootloop during the unbrick process, I had to do it 4 to 5 times until success... I have to say: I didn't follow the last steps beginning from "Root". Instead, I followed the guide from the beginning of my post.
Finally, I got "lineage-15.1-20190410-nightly-d855-signed.zip" and "open_gapps-arm-8.1-pico-20190411.zip" to run. I set it up and began to load some of my apps of my Play Store collection. While downloading, the phone froze, crashed and began to bootloop, from here unable to boot normally or to get into recovery mode. So I unbricked and flashed again (again several times because of bootloops before LOS first set up). When I got it to work again, I was able to install my apps without being trolled by the phone again. But scrolling through the eBay app froze the phone and it began bootlooping again...
You can believe me, I was about to throw the D855 against the hardest piece of wall, I could possibly find in my rage. The reason why I didn't give up at this point is, that I LOS-rommed two other D855s just a few days before. Those were my mom's and my girlfriend's and they work fine until today. I bought this third one for myself, because I was impressed, how good LOS worked on the D855s. On top I wanted to get rid of my Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9515), because LOS kinda sucks on it, but this is another story...
So I figuered that the earlier LOS version I used for the women's phones, could solve the problem. So I unbricked again and flashed "lineage-15.1-20190327-nightly-d855-signed.zip" and "open_gapps-arm-8.1-pico-20190329.zip". And hell yeah, that did work! No bootloops, eBay worked fine, just everything was as I loved it on the other phones, I flashed. Until tonight. I've been lucky for almost two days, but tonight this happened: I plotted a route in Google Maps and saved it as a shortcut on my homescreen. I closed Maps and tapped the route icon. Freeze - crash - bootloop - no recovery mode! I wanted to start crying, because Maps has already worked fine yesterday. And it still does on the other two phones, which run exactly the same rom...
So now, I'm sitting here, not knowing what can be done further. I'm not a programmer / developper or any of those cracks providing us the newest software for old phones. So I just can do wild guesses. Maybe the moment I removed the battery the very first time after flashing messed something up very deep inside the phones internals and it can not be cured any more. Maybe some of you guys have experienced similar things and know a tweak or a simple step, I forgot. Anyway, I hope I can use my phone on LOS some day which I bought especially for this case.
Keep up the great work, folks!

I ordered a new mainboard. It should arrive within 3 weeks. I'll keep you updated.
