[Q] Bootloop & Recovery don't work - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys:
I have this phone from about 10 months ago. I have always it rooted and with CyanogenMod, actually with CM7.
Today I was using my browser, and then it closed, the phone begin giving me a lot of errors, any application worked and I decided to reset it, because sometimes that work.
For my surprise, when I reseted it, It was bootlooping, It start booting (cyanogen logo doing circles), then freezes and then reset.
I know how to work with this problems and I reseted it on recovery and when I entered to the recovery everything seems to be fine, but I only see the menu, when I try to install zip from sd card, go to mount & stored, go to clear cache, or enable USB the screen just get empty but its ON.
Im very frustrated, I don't know how to proceed in this situation, I have looked in the Troubleshooting thread but have not found anything that worked for me with boot looping.
I hope someone can help me, sorry for my english, it's not my main language.

what button are you pressing to select the menus? Power?

Yes Im using power button.

Before I used the power button but now tried using the middle button and it worked.
Lets see if it recover correctly.

Yes because power button turns off the screen.

[Q] New ROM keeps re-booting

Hi,
I rooted my DHD today and tried to flash the CyanogenMod-7 for Desire HD & Inspire. It seemed to work but now keeps re-booting every couple of seconds. It won't actually stay on long enough to put another ROM on. Can anyone help? This is the first time I've done something like this and it seemed to be going so well!
Thanks!
Pull the battery for about 10 seconds. Then hold the vol- button down and power your device on. Now you should see a white screen with some text on it. Navigate to recovery and press the power button. Now it should boot into recovery.
In the recovery choose wipe data/factory reset ald let it finish. Once its finished choose wipe cache partition.
Then go to install .zip from sd and then choose zip from sd. Now search for your rom and reinstall it
Tapatalked with Tapatalk from my Desire HD using Tapatalk.
This is common. Simply wait for it to boot and power off or use the power button to select reboot. You only have to do it once.
The instructions for installing CM7 all say to install ROM then reboot after first complete start up. Shouldn't need to reinstall anything.
Having been left alone for a few hours it seems to have sorted itself out. Thanks! I just wasn't expecting it to spend quite so long re-booting.
I guess you have enabled wi-fi just after flash cm7. Seems like there is a bug or whatever, all you need is re-boot device after first boot.
And about the re-boot loop, just remove battery to turn off you device then turn it on, enter recovery and flash cm7 again WITHOUT do wipe operation. OK, In this time remember to re-boot after first boot.
I got a bit trigger happy and tried to flash Android Revolution HD 3.3. I did a full wipe from ClockworkMod Recovery and tried to install the zip, exactly like I did for the previous ROM. That kept aborting the installation so I mounted the phone and re-downloaded and copied it onto the SD card again. Same problem. I then tried to re-install cm7 and that also kept aborting.
I now have the message "Back menu button disabled" and if I use the power button to select anything it goes straight to a white triangle with an explanation and the Droid, which I think is stock recovery? I'm getting there from what I think is Clockwork though. Is this recoverable or have I managed to brick it?
I had a similar issue a few days ago - it turned out that the battery stats were screwed up so a fix for me was to boot into recovery and then wiping the battery stats.
Everything was fine after that.
How do I do that? I don't want to reboot out of Clockwork as I'm not 100% sure I actually have a ROM at the moment.
Can boot into menu. Highlight recovery. Press power button. Powers down, not completely though. Screen stays on slightly. When waiting 5 minutes and press power button boots into loop again.

open recovery, goto advanced and wipe battery stats
Going to leave battery out for the night as read in other posts. Fixes the problem of not totally shutting down for some. Thanks.
Well leaving battery out didn't help. Continuous boot loop. Put on charger after turning off orange light came on and didn't go to green after 10 hours. Restarted when I got home and boot loop again. Had CoreDroid ROM installed. Working fine than tried to load Kalagas Mixed Theme and that is where I am now. Looping.
Even a blind squirrel will find a nut now and then. During HTC Hboot menu, noticed it was looking for PD98IMG zip. So I shut phone down. Inserted card with it on it and it restored to original firmware. PHEW. Hope this might help someone else.

[Q] htc incredible loop at boot up

hey xda

My incredible started doing this yesterday, Ive tried this option it doesn't work for me. I can get the menu but it when I choose factory reset or any of the other options it flashes the htc incredible screen and starts the loop again, any more suggestions would be appreciated.
Is your phone unlocked and rooted/s-off?
It will say so on that menu screen.

No I was getting ready to root it the day this started. Will rooting help this problem?
having CWM recovery on the device would help you clear the memory and load the OS easily. but that requires your device to be rooted.
whats strange about this case is that my understanding is that the OS is read only and the only thing that changes is data and user data held in a separate partition. so the 2 possibilities is that your user data is corrupted(probably due the space getting exhausted-were you getting a low space warning?) or less likely but possible-the OS corrupted in some way-perhaps from repeated reboots and phone use.
i guess if a factory reset isn't helping there is little i can suggest. that should do the trick if the OS isn;t corrupt because all it does is wipe away the user data so you can resetup the device as if you bought it brand new.
if you have an micro sd card in the device, try removing it. if that doesn;t work, try reformatting it and putting it back in.

This sounds quite a bit like an Inc I have lying on my shelf. It was a friend's and he gave it to me to see if I could fix it. As far as I can tell, the phone's emmc storage simply failed. These phones are aging and that happens sometimes. Anyway, I tried all the usual stuff, including running RUU's (flashing signed PB31IMG.zip's since the thing had never been rooted and was still s-on), and yeah, just boot looped.
I did get the phone working, but it was complicated and messy. Here's more or less what I did: I was able to successfully run the RUU that updates HBOOT to 1.02 (or 1.07, either one works), which allowed me to unlock the bootloader via HTCdev. (see one of the root / s-off guides if this doesn't make sense.) This made it possible to flash ClockworkMod recovery using fastboot, and boot into recovery. From there, I was able to get to a root shell through adb (plugged into my computer) and proceeded to downgrade and get s-off, following the guide. It now works, though it's running Froyo and there is hardly any space for apps due to the messed up storage. I've been wanting to try this hack on it but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
stuck in boot loop, keys dead
I have an HTC incredible. One day the power button decided to quit working. Everything else worked fine, except when the phone went to sleep, the only way to wake it up was to plug in the charger. That was all fine and dandy til I was using it one night to listen to TuneIn and forgot to shut it off. When I plugged in the charger the next morning, it went into boot loop. I can get it out of boot loop by holding the power and/or volume down buttons, but when the hboot (?) screen comes up, I am helpless to do anything, as the power and volume buttons are unresponsive. It is not recognized when I plug it into my laptop, either. For whatever it's worth, it does say "S-on" on the hboot screen, if that helps. Is it junk or fixable?

Sounds hosed to me. You could try to flash an RUU zip but that'd require use of the keys in HBOOT. If there is an RUU option that does not involve touching the phone, it's possible. Otherwise, no. I guess you could open the phone and check the button connections are there but it may be locking up at the HBOOT screen. Give it a chance to charge up a bit. However, I believe this phone is a lost cause. I seem to be seeing more frequent bootloop phone reports lately.

Can't even use my HTC One V.. Big Problems

So I used to have an iPhone, and then it got stolen. My sister, who currently lives across the country (university) has a friend who gave her their old HTC One V. She turned it on and it worked, and then shipped it to me. I went to Bell and then their employee set it up with my account, did a factory restore, and then rebooted it. I saw it turn on and work properly in front of my own eyes, but I had to go charge it at home as it was dead.
I get home, connect it to a charger, the orange charging light on the top turns on, and it opens up a menu that says "ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.1" The options below say: Reboot system now, install zip from sdcard, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, backup and restore, mounts and storage, and advanced.
Now, at the Bell store we factory reset, and rebooted the system, and then the phone worked. However, now when I press "reboot system now," it goes black, the orange charging light turns off, and then it gets frozen on the "HTC One, quietly brilliant" screen. It stays that way until it dies, and I can't even hard reset while it's frozen. It is completely frozen. I even tried to connect it to HTC Sync Manager, but when I plug it in, nothing happens. It doesn't detect the phone. I'm on a Macbook Pro, for context.
Help? I can't even do anything on my phone, and being a new Android user, I have no idea what to do.

Dang it, you have MANY things to learn I propose you to search some noob threads on this forum and learn what root, bootloader, recovery, kernel, S-ON/S-OFF and ROM is and how to flash them... but SEARCH first instead of asking, it will help you in the future
btw, you will have hard times because of your Mac it's the worst and useless thing people could buy
Hiya,
so to be clear you can still boot the phone into ClockWorkMod or not? One way to do this is to turn phone off then, turn it back on while holding the volume down button.
Do not despair there are many ways out of your problem! However I think if you OSX it may make things a little more complicated.
Feel free to google for answers, check the HTC One V forums here (good search bar up top right) or just ask away.

haha my apologies, it's just very overwhelming and at the time I was very frustrated and as a result, impatient. Another concern I had is that since this is not a new phone, I have no idea what had been done to it already. My friend even told me this isn't the default software?

Sorry, not exactly sure what you mean. To explain further, if the phone has any power at all, and not frozen on the loading screen, it loads the ClockWorkMod recovery menu. Because pressing the power button at that menu just selects whatever is highlighted, I can't turn it off. Hard reset (down volume + power) similarly doesn't work, because down volume just moves the selection down. And when it's frozen on the loading menu, hard reset, power off, nothing works. So because I can't even turn the phone off or anything, I think my answer to your question is no. I may just be extremely nooby and be turning it off wrong :cyclops:

Hi Alvin,
do you have the SDcard the phone had before? Can you put ADB and Fastboot on your computer? I can then work with you to explain how to put your own rom and kernel on the phone to get it to boot.

What happens when you keep pressed the power button for at least 10-15 seconds? This action should turn the phone off.

I was entertaining the possibility the power button is partly broken, and I think that's the case. Sometimes pressing the power button doesn't trigger what is selected in the menu and takes a couple tries. However, because of your comment I tried a few more times to turn it off and I think it actually turned off once. I held it down and it faded to black, but there was no "Power Off" button I had to touch before it went black. Is that just because I was in the ClockworkModRecovery menu? Did it actually shut off that one time?
EDIT: I've been able to do the same thing a few times now, even once in the frozen "HTC quietly brilliant" screen! However, I can't seem to hard reset, and I'm thinking maybe my volume down key is similarly faulty.

Indeed the power button is quite sensitive on HOV so you might need to keep trying several times when using it.
Holding power button is a hard shut down and it shouldn't ask you to confirm this action. It's ok. Unless you have the system already started it may ask you for reboot options. Even in this case the phone will shut down if you'll still keep the power button down for a long time.
At first you may try the simplest thing I guess. Start recovery (you might remember it should start automatically when you turn off the phone and plug in a charger) and choose the menu option "wipe cache partition". Restart the phone after clearing the cache. There is a small chance but this might help.
If not you have to continue your research with adb commands.
Another option is to asquire sd card, I think it would be easier for you when you are using mac.

Well you can flash an RUU to get the stock rom back, it will get rid of the recovery and you will be able to start from stock.

Yeah, unfortunately the cache partition isn't working. If I buy a SD Card, and I put it in my phone and start, what do you anticipate will happen? Because it's fresh, will it load up as if I am turning on the phone for the first time, or will that depend on whether or not my problem is related to the ClockworkRecovery or the phone itself? Sorry for all the questions, but I really appreciate the help.

Thanks for the feedback, but unfortunately, I mentioned my computer doesn't recognize it because based on the research I did, flashing an RUU requires the computer to recognize the device and that didn't work, so that seems to not be an option.

You will be able to place ROM file on sd card (using a computer), insert the card into your phone and install new ROM through recovery. Be aware you might need an adapter to use micro sd card on your pc (usually they have a general size sd socket).
You might need to try installing several ROMs because we don't know which kernel has been flashed by Bell guys earlier.

OK so get yourself a micro SD card pal and stick a ROM on it. If possible find out form your sister/friend what the previous ROM was so we can all take a guess at what kernel you have on the phone and so select a ROM that will work with it straight away.
As a point of interest did the phone have an SDcard in it at the shop when it booted?
Also could you try doing the three full wipes on the phone from ClockWorkMod. These are
-Factory reset
-Clear Cache
-Advanced Options --> Wipe Dalvik
Then reboot?

Htc desire 526g stuck in boot loop

Hi guys, months ago i rooted my HTC 526G with Kingoroot. I later tried to update the software over wifi. It updated but in restarting its now stuck in boot screen and sometimes goes into recovery by itself. Is there a way I can revive the firmware? Any help appreciated
HTC Desire 526G
I have problem like this ....cant fix it
Warning/Disclaimer: This will erase everything you have on the phones internal memory. (if you have play store set up right, you can just log back in afterwards and it will pull all your data/apps back, however if you don't, make sure to backup any contacts, data, ect that may be on the phones storage before attempting this) (then again, if you were already trying to root, you should have had everything backed up already anyway )
Charge the device to at least 50% (or an hour or two at least if the battery was completely dead)
Hold the Volume Down Button, Press power button, keep holding the volume down button
Phone should boot into HBOOT or Download mode,
use the volume up and down buttons to highlight Recovery Mode
press power button to select Recovery Mode
Phone will reboot with a red triangle icon, press all three buttons at the SAME time (vol up, vol down, power)
use the volume up and down buttons to highlight Clear Data (Factory Reset) press power button to select, let it finish clearing /data/ and /cache/
Once this has completed, Pull the battery out, let it sit for like 30 seconds without the battery
Put battery back in
hold power button for a while until it vibrates, release power button
let it sit at the htc boot screen for 10 minutes phone should eventually move to the verizon boot screen (if it goes over 10 minutes on the htc screen, try procedure again)
Post here if you have any trouble.
Still have problems

i've done the procedure but unluckly i'm still having this problem, did someone fix the loop with this method? should i just wait for custom roms? :crying:
I had it happen to me after trying to root with just about every tool out there, mine would boot up but wouldn't go past the htc boot screen white background green htc. After I cleared the data a few times (at least 3) it came back up, try the procedure more than once. Also be patient and wait the full 10 minutes for it to come back up, sometimes it can be slow to load for the first time after this kind of wipe.

Try to root with "PhilZ Recovery by Ajit", search on google, i don't remember where i have download it, but it is an .exe file.
After you install it on your computer, you select USB debugging, and connect your phone to the computer, the rest of the process is auto.
After the installation process, the phone will autoreboot in recovery, here you will select ---> Advanced Function---> RE-root System (SuperSU).
After that, reboot, and install SuperSU from GooglePlay.
Success.
Root without boot loop (you may want to wipe Dalvid Cache before reboot after selecting root).
I hope this works for you ( it worked for me HTC desire 526g ).
Have a nice day.
IF you dont find the Philz, contact me, i wil send it to you.
Philz Recovery by ajit is designed for devices using the Mediatek processor; Sadly our 526 (no g, no +) uses a qualcomm processor. I do not recommend anyone to attempt to use "Philz recovery by Ajit" to attempt to root their HTC 526 as at best it will fail and at worse it will flash a non-compatible recovery and turn your device into a hard-brick.

Warning/Disclaimer: This will erase everything you have on the phones internal memory. (if you have play store set up right, you can just log back in afterwards and it will pull all your data/apps back, however if you don't, make sure to backup any contacts, data, ect that may be on the phones storage before attempting this) (then again, if you were already trying to root, you should have had everything backed up already anyway )
Charge the device to at least 50% (or an hour or two at least if the battery was completely dead)
Hold the Volume Down Button, Press power button, keep holding the volume down button
Phone should boot into HBOOT or Download mode,
use the volume up and down buttons to highlight Recovery Mode
press power button to select Recovery Mode
Phone will reboot with a red triangle icon, press all three buttons at the SAME time (vol up, vol down, power)
use the volume up and down buttons to highlight Clear Data (Factory Reset) press power button to select, let it finish clearing /data/ and /cache/
Once this has completed, Pull the battery out, let it sit for like 30 seconds without the battery
Put battery back in
hold power button for a while until it vibrates, release power button
let it sit at the htc boot screen for 10 minutes phone should eventually move to the verizon boot screen (if it goes over 10 minutes on the htc screen, try procedure again)
Post here if you have any trouble.

My phone was also rooted using kingroot. I received an OTA update and I downloaded it. Once the download was complete, the phone restarted and got bootlooped. Occasionally, it goes into recovery. I tried factory resetting it several times as mentioned in the solution. But each time I turn the phone ON again after factory reset, it is looping. Its not stuck at the boot logo. Instead it reboots automatically and in some cases to recovery. So the wait-for-10-mins thing is not working for me.
1. I received a stock ROM from the Russian section of XDA. Will flashing that ROM using the stock recovery using "install update from SD card" help me recover my phone from bootloop?
2. Will flashing the stock ROM unroot the phone? Presently, even after the factory resetting, "check the software partition" option in recovery returns a message "error - system has root". So I was hoping that unroofing might fix the problem. Will it?
3. If the above method fails, is there any other method? Like flashing a custom recovery or flashing a custom ROM etc?
Please help me fix the phone. Thanks in advance.
I am experiencing the same problem and have tried everything to avail, will this devise ever work again its still stuck with a white screen and green HTC

Hey negomo. I just fixed the phone yesterday. It seems that installing an OTA update while the phone is rooted can result in a bootloop or bricking(as in my case). I fixed this issue by flashing a stock ROM of the HTC 526g which I got from another Russian forum in XDA. Anyway I am posting the link of that stock ROM here.
( I am not allowed to post link. So please delete the spaces to get the actual link)

Once you download it do the following procedure
1. Copy it to an SD card and insert the card in your phone.
2. Press power button+volume up key button to enter HBOOT menu (while turning on the phone, press power and vol up button instead of power button alone)
3. Choose recovery option and press volume down to enter
4. Press power button once to enter recovery
5. Choose "install update from SD card"
6. Wait till it finishes installation
7. Wipe cache
8. Reboot phone
PS: I had already done a factory reset from recovery menu. I don't know if that had helped.
This will bring your phone back to life. Give around 10 mins for the first boot.
I hope I was able to help you.
Hit thanks if I did.
how to know my device 526g or 526

Boot loop and random reboots after TWRP install/stock rom flash

Hi all, my Tab S 10.5 (T800) was running stock MM with no root. I tried using the Adoptive storage enabler patch from this site. After installing the TWRP using Odin and flashing the adoptable storage patch, I am stuck in that stupid reboot loop. I did selected "Allow modification to system partition..." in TWRP. I managed to apply the batch and after a number of attempts boot successfully, changed to internal storage etc but still getting random reboots all the time now. Read more on the site; then did cache clear, factory reset via recovery and then also flashed back stock MM firmware - everything successful but still getting random reboots.
Just to mention, the tablet has recently had a brand new original battery so that is not the problem. It was working fine before I attempted the TWRP/Adoptive storage patch or stock firmware flash and now getting random reboots (sometimes right at startup logos and sometimes soon after booting up).
This appears to be a very common one on these Samsung tablets so no clear reason anywhere why it happens. Any suggestion for a quick fix for this please. I am getting random reboots at the moment all the time since I tried flashing the recovery/patch/stock firmware. Any help would be appreciated please...
update
Just to provide quick update and info:
Purely by hit and trial, I have found that if I keep hold of the power button (pressing it constantly since power up), it goes past the initial boot loop consistently and boots the device up. But then, once it hits the limit for holding the power button (think 30 secs), it vibrates and turns itself off (which I think is normal behaviour). So I thought this is interesting to share as not something I have read anywhere else. Not sure what difference it makes to the startup by holding down on the power button but that does not appear make it loop. Of course, this is not a solution as the tablet eventually shuts down after 30 secs of holding the power button.
The power button itself seems fine and not broken/damage or anything - clicks fine and solid and works fine every time. Also the random restarts does not happen in recovery/download mode so I take it the power button is not faulty as else, it should be happening for everything.
Again, requesting everyone for some help please as I am a bit stuck what to try next.... thanks in advance!
anyone pls...?
Bump again... in the hope one of the experts will jump in to help!!
Thanks in advance
I'm experiencing the same exact issue, The tablet will power up to the setup screen and I can almost finish the setup process but then it vibrates and powers down. PLEASE... someone, chime in and help with this problem.
