What did you try to install that has made your phone bootloop? Need some details,What ROM are you running ?If you are in recovery but have not made a nandroid backup then you will have to reflash a ROM as you have no way to restore the ROM back to when it was working

I was Installing The Icecream sandwich launcher and it froze P.S I

If your phone will not boot and with no backup then you could try re-flashing your ROM from recovery,wipe the cache and dalvik then re-flash your ROM,if that works then reboot into recovery and do a backup, that way if you break things again then you can restore the phone to a working state.

Yeah But This Is The Problem When You go into bootloader select recovery same thing happens freezes, go into factory reset same thing happens

Sorry what do you mean by freezes?Talk me through it,From bootloader you scroll down and select recovery,then you go to factory reset,what happens?
The bootloader/recovery is independent of the ROM so if you broke your ROM by trying to install the ICS Launcher it can't affect bootloader/recovery,how did you try and install the launcher,be specific please.

I Just Installed the regular old way android market install FREEZE. when you do a recovery it either shows the boot screen frozen or a phone with a red triangle

Will not reply to you again tonight so dont wait for reply I will survive with my reliable nokia tomorrow Night

Sorry just so I understand correctly, when you go to bootloader (switch phone off and press and hold vol - and power button) scroll down (use volume -) and power button to select recovery it freezes? I am running out of ideas

Click recovery trys to boot loops for a while then freezes on htc boot screen before showing the quietly brilliant

help wont boot

i just rooted with s on and i flashed a custom recovery then rebooted. htc logo came up, and then a black screen its been like an hour with the black screen and it wont boot. i know that normally its takes a long time to boot a fresh rom but this is ridiculous. and i made sure that i flashed a cdma rom marvelc. what do i do!!
i can still boot into the boot loader though
Dude im no expert in HTC phones but you had to turn s-off when rooting your phone. If you made a nandroid backup your in luck reflash your stock rom back and this time root with s-off and enjoy flashing plz hit the thanks button if i helped.

Boot into hboot with volume down + power. Scroll down to recovery and push power to enter it. All going well you should go into your recovery. If you get a red triangle with an ! Then you still have the stock recovery.
OK now scroll down and make a back UP!!! After that factory reset the device, wipe cache, dalvik cache. Data. Everything aside from your sdcard. Then reboot the device. This should get your device operational again. Reboot should take no longer than 15 minutes.
After that choose a custom rom to flash, or just go about setting up the phone as you want.
When you go to flash a new rom make sure you back up first, then wipe everything bar SD card. Then install the rom and reboot.
Good luck pal

actually when i was rooting the recovery wasnt working for me the tool tried to made me go into recovery but i was stuck at the htc logo. but the tool also offered to install twrp or clockworkmod i installed clock and still wont stuck at the htc logo so i tried twrp and it worked and then i got rooted.
i think i might be twrp that doesnt install roms right.
also i installed a rom it worked but no wifi and wifi was the most important tool for me so the rom is ussless to me

Thank you you for replying but I did some experimenting around and I found out that the clockwork mod was a marvel recovery
I have a marvelc wildfire so I went to rezo609 folder and found the recovery img and replaced it with a clockwork marvelc img.
Then I opened the prompt selected install clockwork mod, it installed
Then I went to recovery, worked and installed the cm9 rom (marvelc) and gapps and It successfully worked
You were probably right its beta so it has some bugs
But thank you all who tried to help me I really appreciate it
Sorry I just started so I deleted the URL
no problem buddy always happy to help.

Help? Bootloop and can't access bootloader

Hi there,
I recently installed ARHD 9.0 on my One-X but didn't like it, so i tried to revert to CM10 and now i think i've screwed things up. I rebooted, ran CWM, did a full wipe, cleared the cache and dalvik cache, installed CM10, installed GApps and tried to reboot and flash the CM10 boot.img - however instead of booting back into the bootloader the phone just continued booting and is still at the CM10 boot screen. I can't access bootloader for some reason - i hold down power and volume down, but no bootloader. Is my phone bricked? What can i do?
Appreciate any help. Thanks.

How did you find yourself in that position to begin with? Was it flashing a new rom? Did you flash the boot.img? Don't panic, so long as you have access to the bootloader, you will be ok.

Huge mistake

Was trying to do a clean flash, I did not put ROM on phone , did the format and all the other steps to flash clean then realized, now I cannot get past the google screen on phone? help asap!
Try booting back into recovery and wiping data and cache and reinstalling your ROM, if best try doing a restore from a backup.

everything should be fine now thank you !
This happened once to me. What saved me was the Nexus Root Toolkit by Wugfresh.
I just allowed it to flash the image that I already had downloaded (but forgot to put in phone). Give that a shot if nothing else is working for you. Luckily I had fastboot drivers already installed.

Please help: RUU GPE back to Sense

I followed greentu's guide and once flashing the sense stock rom from android revolution my M8 just gets stuck on the boot logo (HTC Powered By Android).
Also: following his guide, these steps don't work:
Once complete, type fastboot reboot-bootloader The hyphen is required.
Boot into stock recovery
Factory reset
Reboot into bootloader
When I boot into stock recovery, there is no option to factory reset. It just shows a small logo in the middle of the screen.
Instead of doing this step I proceeded to install TWRP which worked fine and did a factory reset from there and installed my rom.
Boots and get stuck at HTC logo.

Yeah because you skipped factory reset with stock recovery. When that image comes up you have to hold volume up and press power to see the recovery options.

Hold volume up. Press and release power. Options will come up. You can even do it before the picture comes up. I've done it thousands of times, there's no magic to it.

I did the factory reset this time in stock recovery and then in TWRP and flashed a rom and it still gets stuck at the HTC logo!
I followed all the instructions too!
It says to have ROM on SD Card if your SuperCID 111111. I sideloaded (although sucessful).
I'm going to go nuts! I cant get this working!
I would restart from the beginning and do it all over. missing or messing up one step can throw the whole thing off.

I did four times! Same results!
Can my super cid to 111111111 be the issue?
What rom should I sideload instead (maybe rom issue)

Don't sideload any rom. Not sure why you're sideloading.
I have been superCID since day 1, never had issues.
Rom could be the issue. Make sure MD5 matches.

[Q] Shut down during download mode: phone bricked?

Hi everybody,
some time ago I flashed my ace II with cm 11 build 20141118 by ace2nutzer. Installation was ok and it worked properly. However, it had some minor problems, one of which was that battery wouldn't charge while booting the phone. One day it happened that my phone arrived at 0% battery and shut down. I couldn't find a way to turn it on because of the too-low battery, so I tried to see if during recovery mode maybe the battery would charge... but, instead of going to recovery, I pressed the wrong buttons and entered into download mode. There, the phone wouldn't charge and at one point it shut down. After some days I discovered that I could charge the phone by simply connecting it to a computer... But now it won't start. It gets bootloop (more precisely it keeps restarting) at the samsung logo. I tried to reflash the build I had before, but I keep getting status 7 error (even after deleting asserts).
Soo, is my phone bricked? Is there anything I could do to make it work?
Thanks to anyone that will help me
tl;dr: phone shut down during download mode, now bootloops and gives Status 7 error (even after deleting asserts) while trying to flash the same ROM it had before.
Anyone?
I forgot to say that I had a nandroid backup, but I can't restore it: it says "error while restoring /system!".
