I need to wipe my SD card but cannot get the phone booted. i have tried to reinstall from a android back up also tried to flash the Modaco rom but the phone gets to the google logo an reboots.
When trying to restore from android it fails at restoring data. I want to wipe the device and take it back to the retailer.
thanks
What about a fastboot oem unlock/lock ? Won't that erase all your data? Not that it'll fix anything, but if all you want is data erased it's worth a shot.
Ill check that out in a second, i was already unlocked, so didn't think locking it back up again would do much. gonna have to lock it either way when I take it back
Thanks for the replay as well
Edit....
Tried locking and relocating doesn't seem to do nothing, so think I bricked it some how. I have no idea why whats going on now. After wiping cache, data, system it doesn't reboot no more, it just hangs at the google logo. Im sure when I show it the retailer they will have no option other than to replace the handset.

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,
My desire keeps on rebooting when trying to turn it on, going to recovery mode, or when im updating a lot of applications on the phone.
there are times that i can enter recovery, but it is very seldom that i can enter it.
im using amonra, when i was able to enter the recovery i tried to wipe everything. but the files are still there even if i wipe them. so i tried flashing a new rom to fish the problem. after flashing the new rom successfully it goes to the lock screen and then restarts again..
the problem started after flashing my rom to leedroid which was a month ago.
what can i do?..
hope my phone isnt bricked
Try this:
Do the "CLEAR STORAGE" option in the HBOOT menu.
Enter recovery
Wipe ALL userdata
Wipe dalvik-cache
Reflash LeeDrOid ROM
That is what I did when the same thing happened to me when I flashed my first ROM (which happens to be LeeDrOid lol).
Also, try following up with this thread.
this isn't my first time flashing.
i already tried doing clear storage and problem still exists.. keeps on rebooting and can't enter recovery.
did wipe all already.. still having same problem
just finished reformatting my sd card and reflashing a new rom.. still having same problem..

I didn't mean to offend you, I just listed the steps I took when it happened to me a while back, hoping that it would work with you.
You can un-root the device and return it to factory condition by using the official RUU, then start all over =/.
wasn't offended
yah, right now im downloading the RUU and trying to unroot.. hope it works *crosses fingers*
thanks for the help though.
No problem =).
cant run the original RUU. because i can't even go to the original screen. kept getting error saying check the cable etc..
is there any other way?.
update:
now i can't even go to recovery manager again..
tried to clear everything.. still same problem.. any ideas on how to fix this?..
any help would be very much appreciated..
thanks..
update again:
now my phone is going till the lock screen and then restarts...
update on what i am doing.
i letted my desire rest for a couple of minutes and then tried opening it again. i was able to go to the lock screen w/o restarting. but sometimes it still does
When i was able to go past the lock screen i runned the asia RUU to unroot my phone but i got an error at the end of the process. now what i do have is an HTC logo in the middle of the screen and four exclamation point inside a triangle on the corners.
any help guys?..
Is there a way to reinstall my android system if for example android crash and wont boot?
Are you using a custom rom?
Are you rooted?
You can always do a nandroid backup (backup of complete system) via clockwork.
I think you mean a factory reset. Hold the volume down key while powering up the phone and you can select that option from the boot loader.
Yes but i mean, if factory reset wont even work. and it only reboots every 30 sec.
Like the system is really ****ed. and the only way is to reinstall android.
this happened because i satt down installing apps and games for hours and then did a restart just to completely refresh the system. and there it hangs in the boot and just keeps restarting and restarting 4 ever.
And i haven't made any backup to restore from.
I do not use any custom rom
And yes i am rooted. i have clockwork mod installed.
i used the lastest unrevoked. but i dont think nand is unlocked.
is the solution maybe to find the right update.zip and use that method to reinstall android via recovery? since i can mount USB mass storage to the PC via recovery?
You can do a complete reset. Go into your recovery. Vol down and power then select recovery. Once booted, do a factory reset and wipe the Dalvik cache. Then you can flash the rom again and start from fresh.
If that doesn't work, you can get a WWE RUU and run it. It will wipe everything so you will need to root again but it will give you back control of your phone. Just to let you know, if you do use an RUU you might need to create a Goldcard.
Sweet!!! Thanks GoogleJelly!!
Did the complete reset with success Even though i recall doing something like this in recovery. Ohwell just did exactly what you said and my Desire works like a dream again
At least now i know what people mean with "playing around with random apps is dangerous"
This is something that i've been searching around the web for. But keep finding this: There is nothing that you can do. Take it back to the store and send it to repair.
Though i would send it to repair if it weren't for GoogleJelly =)
Long story short installed substratum and it was working fine, had a navbar theme already running and installed another one. Few hours later rebooted phone and when it booted back up systemui crashed and it went into bootlooping into that over and over again. Now it bootloops a few times and goes into a recovery menu that only gives me the options to try rebooting again or a factory data reset.
The phone boots into bootloader/fastboot just fine and I can get into recovery but the only options I have are 'try again' and 'factory data reset' I know that FDR is basically my only option and so be it. BUT IF POSSIBLE I want to try and backup the internal data or at least as much of it as possible.
So, is it possible to backup any internal data with only having access to bootloader/fastboot.
I've spent over an hour searching to this answer but either I was searching wrong or simply was not able to find the answer. Pixel XL is 100% stock. Never modded, never rooted, stock recovery, stock latest official Oreo from OTA update.
So again. Absolutely no access to the OS. Only access bootloader/fastboot and a form of the recovery menu and I would like to somehow backup the internal data. I don't care about apps or any app data, specifically just the user data if at all possible. If not well then I'm screwed and that's that.
Hello,
Happened to me also something like this. The phone rebooted and the only option were those presented to you also. But, I pressed the "Try again". If this still doesn't work, when the device is rebooting, and the white screen appears, try and hold on to the power button until the moving dots appear.
Also, this didn't wipe anything on my device.
Hope this is useful to you.

Does nothing. Just reboots back into recovery. I've tried Try Again probably 100 times and nothing ever changes. Even safe mode does not work. The SystemUI is completely dead.
I'm 90% sure there is no way to fix the phone other than factory data reset and I'm fine with that. I just want to know if I can backup anything from bootloader/fastboot before I do that.
Have you tried using ADB to boot ( not flash ) a custom recovery, and from there to backup the phone, and after if it's possible, to use the USB-OTG to copy that backup to an USB memory stick?
Looking at the Substratum FAQ in the app it says that if you experience a bootloop you should be able to flash /storage/emulated/0/substratum/SubstratumRescue.zip in recovery and it should fix the boot loop.

As Matt already mentioned, there's a rescue zip file which comes by default with substratum. It's purpose is to remove all overlays which you've currently installed.
In case you don't have a custom recovery installed you can simply boot into twrp via adb (without having flash the recovery)

What if you're bootloader locked? Is there a way to recover from a bad overlay?
You could try to flash the factory image if you've unlocked the BL, just remove the -w from the flash all script

If you have checked the option to potentially allow unlocking your bootloader in dev-settings you can use fastboot to unlock your bootloader and boot into the bootable recovery image
screen went black, and now I cant do anything. Phone boots normally. LED indicator at the top shows that the phone is booting fine. (the top half also gets super hot for some reason?)
Any ideas on how to get it back? Or is it bricked?

If you are still on the stock recovery originally installed, see if you can boot it manually into Recovery mode. If the screen shows in Recovery mode, chances are you have developed a corruption from something you installed etc., not bricked it. You can try wiping Cache when in Recovery mode but I suspect you will have do a Factory Reset from there. If you have installed a custom recovery and have a known good backup, you could restore that or re-install the rom in a clean flash (wiping Cache, Dalvik cache, System and importantly, format Data > Yes.
Failing that, you may have to replace the screen or send it in for repair if it is a hardware issue.

I just flashed a 100% stock rom with putting the phone in download mode and using LGUP, same problem... Guess it's bricked :/
It's not even worth it to repair, I just wanted to see if I could fix it myself
Thanks anyways

If you were able to see the download mode screen, it is more than likely not a hardware issue. You have to do a full wipe (preferably, Cache, Dalvik cache, System and Data (best would be a format of the data partition), to get rid of any data/rom corruption that may be causing the black screen issue. If you did not do this, try that first, making sure you re-install the same original rom that the phone came with, before junking the phone.
