Hi,
I'm a real neewbie so please be gentle.
I've rooted my phone and put defrost 5.4 on it.
Works good and i'm figuring out how things work.
I found out now that when i reboot the phone it gets stuck in starting up.
The colors exploding from the left and the right side to become a "X", but then after a while the x is not made any longer and after half an hour it is still trying to make an X.
Take out the battery, put it back and start the phone and it starts normal.
When i install something from the "defrost setup" its downloaded and when i press install the phone restarts, it is unpacking the file, reboots and then gets stuck again.
Have to take out the battery to start the phone again.
What can be the couse of this??
Just found out that also a "normal start" ends up in a endless bootscreen.
The only way to start the phone is take the battery out, put it back and press "start".
Do a full wipe and try another ROM is my first suggestion.
So idid a wipe, after that a recovery (had to start all over again) but the endless bootscreen still remains.
???
1) Find a new ROM and put it on the root of your SDCARD
2) Boot into Recovery by pressing BACK and the POWER button
3) Perform a full wipe (data/factory reset) and cache
4) Flash the new ROM
5) Boot the phone
If you still have problems post logcat.
i've cleaned and whiped (i think) almost everything.
Installed a fresh defrost 5.6.
Installed the defrost apps addon, the phone reboots and a screen apears with a android an a box with an arrow out.
Text is passing by, the phone reboots and starts up.
So far so good, but when i restart or reboot the phone its hangs in this endless lashing coulorfull screen.
I've tried to make a "logcat".
Hopefully it tells you more than it tells me.
i am having the same problem.
first off all: you can press power + volume down + optical joystick to restart phone.
no need to remove battery
my last logcat (with Error filter): www wog-fds.de/log_bootloop.txt
i started to have this problem when i redid the unrevoked process (dont really remember why, thou).
thx for help
edit: not sure but the first logcat looks like somethings missing
heres anotherone without filter www wog-fds.de/log_bootloop2.txt
thx
OK, maybe this is getting somewhere.
I also did a re-revoke, but i do know why.
the first attempt to root my phone ended up in a small disaster.
At the end of the proces i found out that i have a SLCD screen and not an AMOLED, so my phone was as good as dead.
Thanks to someone on a Dutch forum i was able to get my phone back to life.
After that i rooted my phone with the latest version of unrevoked, and this time i was succesfull.
But now i am encountering this problem and it is no fun.
I have at the moment nothing running on the phone because after a re-re-reinstallation i can start all over again with al the apps and so on.
It hangs at the final stages of the boot it looks like.
I had a similar problem when I was messing around with my old framework.
So why you're getting it, I have no idea.
First thing is first Bud
Download DeFrost 5.7 And use the latest version (Illuminate some issues to start with)
What your saying is the Boot Animation (The Multi Colour X animation "Nexus Boot Animation"
You get a boot loop on there....
How long have you left it trying to boot? the first boot after a Reflash does take alot longer than normal as it has to write to a number of files first.
(This only occurs on a New ROM or a Reflash of the frameworks)
So first off Lets Get that latest ROM on the SD Card:
Use w/e method you need to to get it on there
Turn the Phone Off "Where going to load recovery"
Press the Down Volume Key and press the power button Once.
You will see a white screen with Android images at the bottom:
Press the Volume down once (Recovery) when this is highlighted press the power button
Where now in a black screen Press Volume Up and Power
(We should now have a Blue Menu (Am taking it by the issues you talk about your using Clockwork Recover.......)
Go down to Apply sdcard:update.zip
And press the power button. So where now Clock Work Recovery
(If you dont have Clockwork i.e. Fake Flash Update.zip maybe someone can post it for me, Limited for time in work, But search for Fake FLash Clockwork if you dont have it.
Then go down to Wipe Date/Factory Reset
Select the only line that is Populated.
Go back to main menu and go to install Zip from SDCard and press the OJ
Select Choose Zip from SDCard.
Find you ROM and press the OJ
Wait some time and press the back button a few times, and select the reset option?
DO NOT INSTALL NO MODS OR THEMES, THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE AFTER A FULL BOOT OF A CLEAN ROM.
Leave it some time, as the first boot is always the longest.
Fingers crossed you should be OK.
What your talking about is a problem with the ROM (as the bootanimation is called by the ROM)

That'd be my guess too. If you try to apply a mod before you've let the ROM unpack itself it does exactly as you describe.

I've installed the defrost.
After it came in full working conditions i've added the defrost add-on.
Phone shuts down, starts again in the screen with the one doid and a box with an arrow out.
Some writing apears and the phone starts again.
The colours apears and making a cross and this goes faster and faster and then a screen where i have to enter my sim-unlockcode and the phone is up and running.
So far so good.
When i now switch the phone off or give it a reboot ( in the screen after a long press on the powerbutton) the phone starts in the white screen with HTC logo, then the colours apear making a cross, but after time this goes slower and slower until the cross is not ever made again.
The colours appear trying to make a cross and diappear and comming back again, and this goes on for ( i left it once for 1/2 an hour)
I will give it a go with the 5.7
thanks for the help.
Really, i heave my phone for one month now and it is my first android thing.
Never worked with linux etc etc.
What does "press the OJ" means ??
oj = optical joystick
@dave7802
thanks for the answer but i have the bootloop also when i do a manual restart without flashing anything.
i use defrost 5.7
i did a restart after flashing
bye
strange thing to happen. it must be in the ROM because it wasn't happening on the stock ROM.
so try another ROM some like cyanogen or opendesire. is it happening also?
Wel, i've come to the point that i think "WTF", it works and the only thing is the start/reboot.
I'm not going to re-re-re-re sign in to my google account, and not want to re-re-re-re-enter my mail account again.
Thanks to "olaxe" i know how to start the phone wthout taking out the battery.
anyway, everybodie, thanks for reading etc.
OK so you guys are still having the same issue.
Can we provide as much info as possible,
As i use DeFrost 5.7 and i just done a normal reboot and its working fine,
if its a problem with the ROM everyone would have the issue,
All i can think is a MOD you have installed is conflicting,
So some info you can provide:
What MODS are you running / installing, like Super Circle Battery, or Custom HAVS and SVS?
What version where they developed for?
i.e. are you installing MODS that where developed for an older version of defrost? as the frameworks change on each version and so do the HAVS and SVS
If your not flashing anything how about installing it?
It could be an app you used worked for an older version, and since the update its no longer working?

You say you have not flashed anything? and then you said you restarted after flashing? i dont follow?
What settings are you using and apps do you have installed?
What are you doing in clockwork recovery, are you wiping then installing JUST DEFROST then letting your system start up?
or
Are you flashing a couple of things like defrost and super circle battery?
Dave,
A nephew, who ownes a desire and is "into android" from the moment of the first googlephone, was going to root my desire.
The great misstake (we found out after we've dit it) was that he used a version of unrevoke witch was mend for use with amoled and i own a slcd.
So my phone would'nt show anything anymore. Only the bootscreen when pressed vol down and power.
I've followed several advises of diehards, have put "this.zip" on the sdcard, "that.zip" and even "ifthisdon'twork.zip" shoot me.
All i got in the bootscreen was "no image" "no image or wrong image" and "version is older".
After a week a guy on a dutch forum told me to download some files to my computer, take the sdcard out of the phone, connect the phone to the computer and then type the following:
3. Typ in je commandprompt:
code:
1
2
3
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom210.zip
After that the phone came back to live and i was happy as a child.
After that i did the unrevoked thing with the latest version and the phone was rooted.
Put the sdcard back, formatted it whitin the phone and after that i placed the defrost 5.4 on the root of the sdcard.
Did the full wipe, dalvikwipe and flashed the defost 5.4
After a while i had the defrost up and running.
In the defrost setup i found the defrost addon.
downloaded it (all IN the phone) and after that pressed "install".
The phone shuts down a screen appears with the one droid and a box, the phone restarts and is up and running.
Then i found in the defrost setup a file "no adds"
Installed that to and then the troubles start.
Hangs in the bootscreen.
I can only start the phone when the power is completely turned of ( battery out) or with vol down, power and trackball pressed at the same time.
Okay, so I backed up and tried to use CM7, flashing it with a Recovery I don't remember the name. It looked a lot like Clockwork's Recovery. The bar didn't advance, it just said out of nowhere that flashing was done (I thought it was weird since it was too quick)
When I turned my phone on, the motorola logo would show up and nothing happen. I researched and found the way to get into the Recovery. Now I have these options:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe partition
This isn't the same Recovery screen so there's no way to restore the backup, and I can't find a way to flash something new. What should I do?
::EDIT::
There's no clear indication but I take it I should try this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853674), since I can also get to the bootloader, am I right? Don't let me brick this phone further.
Yea, I was thinking if I'm on this situation as well. Since my SonyEricsson X10mini pro has this custom recovery installed where you can boot into it by repeatedly pressing the back button(even if bootloop occured), and you're safe to restore if anything goes wrong with your phone during modding. But this CWMrecovery doesn't have that as it only accessible via the app menu to boot into recovery, so if Defy fail to boot then you're stucked, end up you need to flash sbf file again as there's no restoring option under stock recovery.
Does your led turn blue for about a second while booting? it should do it while on the motorola logo.
If so press Vol.down with the led still blue and you'll enter custom recovery.
If still you can't do anything i guess the easiest thing to do would be to flash another SBF in the bootloader.
It didn't flash the blue LED, so I flashed another SBF, and it works fine now. Thanks guys. I'll try flashing CM7 again today.
Have roooted my phone with unrevoked and reboot my phone.
Installed ROM MANAGER and install Clockwork recovery and rebooted my phone.
Everything works great.
Starting to make a backup of my current rom, rebooted and my backup started and untill "Backup complete" and rebooted my phone again.
And then... I am trapped with the HTC Logo.
And I pushed down vol - + power on... but i cant come into recovery menu.
It feels like i have bricked my phone... but i have done this serveral times and it haved worked everytime?! =/
What should I do next? =( Any tips and tricks?
Sorry for my english...
Edit: My problem is now solved. I had my phone turned of over the night with my battery away.
And now i can access my recovery menu! *wiiie* I also find out that my volume down button do not work correclty. But any who, my problem is now solved
i just rooted my incredible today and flashed MIUI. everything worked fine but i didnt like how it looked so i tryed to restore from a backup i made earlier. My phone is now stuck in the white boot screen. i did a battery pull and still get the white screen. I can get into hboot and recovery but when im in recovery none of the menu options work. when i go to one like the install zip from sd it goes to a black screen with just the cwm logo on it. same goes with every other menu option it try. What do i do? please help i searched all over the threads and google and cant find anything
Just how aee you selecting a menu option, and then what happens?
i was trying to select it with the power button and not the track pad.. im new to this lol my bad. everything is fine now got it up an running
So here is a little back history.
I just recently purchased a GNexus from Sprint
Unlocking Bootloader and flashing Twrp went Great.
Backing up original stock rom went great!
My First Issue
My problem started when I flashed a JB rom. I notice that the phone was taking extremely long to boat up. Stuck at JB Boot Screen for about 45mins. I immediately thought that okay. .maybe im missing some type of requirement or twrp needs to be updated. So I battery pulled my phone.Attempted to go back into recovery and restore my old stock backup. WIth that being said i found that TWRP is corrupted. I did another battery pull and tried once more (same results)
I did another battery pull and booted to the bootloader when I selected recovery this time a screen popped up that allowed you to a factory reset (It was not the original TWRP Screen) My idiotic mistake was that I choose yes which then deleted my nand backup. As you now see I have a nexus that does not have a rom installed
I have been able to successfully adb push twrp back to my phone and TWRP comes up when I boot into recovery.
Here comes my second issue.
When I adb push a rom to the sdcard it transfer fine. I have been told to reboot recovery when you adb push a file to it. Therefore I reboot the phone and boot back into recovery to find out that the rom is gone. I have even tried to just directly flash the rom when I transfer the rom to the phone via adb push. TWRP states that the rom installed successfully so i reboot and the phone is still at a softbrick stage where I just have the google logo and the unlock bootloader at the bottom. When I boot back into recovery the rom.zip is no where to be found.
I have tried recovering by using ODIN and successfully followed each step for the GNEXUS CDMA\LTE version. Once again upon reboot I still receive the google bootloop of death.
Can anyone help me get my phone back to normal I will truly appreciate. I don't believe I truly bricked my phone because of that fact that I can still boot into bootloader, recovery and ODIN mode.
Specs of my phone: (From Bootloader Screen)
Product Name - tuna
Variant - toro 23GB
HW Version - 14
Bootloader Version - PRIMELD02
Baseband Version - L700.FD02 CDMA - L700.FD02
Carrier info - None
Serial Number - (Do I have to list this?)
Signing - Production
Lock State - Unlock
Once again any help is truly appreciated. I only had this phone for one day.. lol only made 2 calls on it before I screwed it up :laugh: (On stock rom)
After you ODIN stock it will bootloop. You don't have a custom recovery anymore, but if you remove the battery and then do "powers and both volume keys and select recovery" In recovery you will see a android with a red X. Press "power and both volume keys again" This time you have android system recovery that's in blue. Choose "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" . Then "reboot system now" after all that's done. You phone will boot up to factory in 3-5 min.
Reread everything you said... First thing first get back on stock. I used Odin method. Then follow steps above as it will bootloop.

ok, i will try this.
Thanks
After trying what you stated above i was able to successfully return to stock.
Thanks again for your help.. It's funny how something so small can lead to hours of debugging and searching for the answers.
Hey look on the bright side....you won't make the same mistake again!
I made the mistake of flashing the Touch CWM last week and accidentally wiped my SD instead of System as I was trying to flash a new rom with a full wipe....I wasn't impressed!
So now I'm back to the non touch screen recovery which I'm used to and harder to make a mistake on.
