Weird issue here, wife's Slide has been working just fine all this time, needed a reboot this morning, is now stuck in a boot loop.
Phone is 100% stock and not rooted, now I have rooted other phones and know the processes involved BUT am looking for a simple fix first, wife doesn't care about anything other than a functioning phone.
Does anyone know if doing a factory reset would do the trick? I know how to get into recovery and all that, or any other idea? If it gets to it I will root and throw say Cyanogen on it, but will try to avoid anything drastic if possible.
Yes, factory reset/ wipe should help

I have a rooted Incredible and I have some issues with it right now, i tried to restore the backup i created and i get an error, i have wipped everything from the phone and i cant get it to reset to factory. Any ways to help out with this?
What issues are you having? If all you did was root the phone and that was all, i highly doubt that the issues are because of root.
i attempted to install vanilla skyraider, i backed up the orginal skyraider and now when i tried to restore the skyraider backup i get a error
Please help me, I have messed up my phone pretty bad. When I rebot my phone it goes through the normal process (Skyraider is the ROM I am using) and after the boot is finished it should proceed to the home screen but instead it takes me to a screen that has the Andoriod Logo and says tough andriod to begin, the catch is when i touch the logo nothing happens. I have attempted to factory reset to aviod the screen but i still get it back! Please help! Im in need!!

You don't have a functioning backup? Then I would try wiping everything (wipe data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache), re-downloading and flashing the ROM (any of your choice), the file might have been corrupted some how. Good luck
I had a backup and when i went to restore it through clorkworkmod recovery it doesnt work and i dont understand why,
Hi...I've searched everywhere and I haven't seen anything close to my issue. But if there is and I missed it I apologize in advance and I appreciate any help/advice.
Well I rooted my phone from 4.3 with no issues. I used safe root so it wouldnt trip knox. I flashed sokp's 4.4.2 ROM with the proper gapps and agni kernel. My issue started after I tried updating my camera with photosphere 4.3. I went to use the 3d feature and it shut my phone off and started to loop. Also flashed the camera fix zip but that didn't help either. I got into recovery using cwm and wiped everything from the cache to data, almost to the point of no service. So i flashed beanstalk 4.3 rom hoping it would solve problem but it didn't. I even did a factory reset (didnt work) and found a rooted stock ROM I flashed thru Odin then back to beanstalk, all to no avail. Now I have to keep my phone plugged into a power source in order for my phone load past "sgn2" screen. And if I unplug it then it resets phone and loops. I also noticed that with beanstalk I have no kernel(well it reads unavailable). I was thinking that maybe after the camera failed that some data or something maybe corrupted. Is there a way to wipe everything to the beginning, like fresh from at&t, so It will stop looping and I don't have to keep my phone plugged into the wall?
Also with mean bean I can uplug my phone for a few min before it resets but if I try to open any apps it resets. It seems as though my phone isn't getting enough power.
Again all help is greatly appreciated
NOTE: This device is not mine, it belongs to my girlfriend and I am the one troubleshooting for her.
here goes:
Yesterday, while a friend of my girlfriend's was playing with her Galaxy Nexus (my GF's), it suddenly rebooted itself without warning.
From what I understand, Nexus bootloops that are caused by faulty flashing usually loops at the "Google" logo (correct me if I'm wrong). Her's is a different story, her Galaxy Nexus is pure stock, locked bootloader, un-rooted and definitely nothing custom on in; literally pure stock. Instead of looping at the "Google" logo, her GNexus loops at the "X" logo, my assumption is that there is something, maybe a rogue app, that is causing her device to bootloop upon reaching startup phase.
I know this isn't a software/ROM level issue since we were able to get to her lockscreen a few times and then the phone reboots after a few seconds. I've tried wiping cache but didn't work, and she won't let me try wipe data/factory reset because she has a lot of important files on her phone. So odin flashing and wipe data/factory reset is out of the question.
so here are some details that might be of interest:
1.) Her phone is not rooted and is pure stock android 4.1.2
2.) does not have custom recovery
3.) does not have usb debugging enabled (not sure, but I assume it's not enabled)
4.) can still boot to fastboot/recovery/download mode
5.) reboots at the X logo
So the basic troubleshooting methods are out, now I'm thinking of using adb pull to extract files from her phone via adb, but problem is, usb debugging is off! Is there any way of recovering her files at least without booting to the ROM itself so I can flash another version of android on it (via odin)?
I've also read about "safe mode" that boots the device without starting up 3rd party apps, only the core essentials. I'd like to go down that route if possible, but we've tried most of the guides on how to boot into safe mode but to no avail. There was one time though that the device booted up and she managed to: open power menu > hold power off > reboot to safe mode, but nothing happened, it just rebooted only to get stuck at the X again.
I may be overthinking this, so I've turned to XDA for help. I know you guys don't like people asking n00bish queries but I've exhausted everything I can think of and I'd like to try everything before I go down the route where I can possibly do even more damage.
I really need help with this, anyone have any ideas? We'd really appreciate it!
Unlock, flash custom recovery, wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache and flash 4.3 factory image. Problem solved.
My phone has been stuck on boot loop for hours. I don't even do any of the advanced things i've been reading about while trying to figure out what to do like root & mod etc. all i did was call and pay my bill, & then restart it and it's been stuck ever since. I've tried rebooting, factory resetting, wiping the cache. nothing is working. i currently don't have a way to put something on my sd card to fix it. I don't know what to do. i need help. preferably before it dies because i honestly don't think it'll charge.
Can someone please help me?? ):
hi, is it working now ?
i followed this guide
teamandroid.com/2016/03/08/update-tmobile-galaxy-note-2-t889-android-601-resurrection-remix-marshmallow-custom-rom/2/
and it worked perfectly until yesterday
the other day i looked at my phone and it formatted and restarted on its own. i didnt really lose much.
so i accepted it and reset up all my apps and such, and then when my phone died and i charged it
it got stuck in boot loop forever
i tried wiping both cache and reboot recovery it skips boot loop long enough to load up but as soon as i see my homescreen for a second it boot loops again.
so then i tried completely formatting the phone over which worked until this morning when i woke up my phone was dead. swapped batteries and turned it on. booom boot loop again.
is there any advice on what i should do?
im able to format it and get it working again if something needs installed etc
but i want to stop this from happening again
Q: is it possible that a certain app i downloaded is forcing the boot loop? i dont see why it would because ive had all the same apps for months and it just happened out of no where.
i appreciate any help, id just like to know why in the world its happening, and what the best course of action would be
im thinking maybe restore it back to factory firmware and unrooting and starting the process all over again
i seen something for 7.1 would that be better?
