Have a look through the forum there are multiple threads where people have been stuck in a boot loop. You will most likely need to download the official Google files and flash via fastboot
I was able to get the driver installed...locked it and then unlocked and rerooted...now I am afraid to do anything else
Got it fixed....whew!!!!

I am running the stock rom without root and unlock and I got the 4.0.2 OTA update 3 days ago. Today when I do the pattern unlock my phone froze and reboot. Now I cannot get pass the Google logo boot screen.
I am able to get into the recovery mode but I don't want to do a factory restore as I don't have anything backup yet.
Is there any solution to this boot loop problem? I am surprise that I am getting this problem as I am running the stock rom without any root / mod.
If there is no solution to this, is there any way I can backup my phone before doing the factory restore?
Many thanks!
You can back up via adb. Try searching in the General threads, since there's a long topic on this...
Good luck!
Thanks, I do find information about backup, but I can't find anything regarding the bootloop...
When i got stuck at the Google screen with a bootloop i booted into the bootloader/fastboot screen with vol up+down power and i redid the one click all process and it basically rewiped my device and put it back to working again with unlocked bootloader rooted etc....
All you have to remember is what build number you have and let the toolkit work its magic.

Sorry, forgot to mention. You're probably gonna have to wipe via recovery - which is why I pointed you to a back up...

I can't find a way to backup without going into Android. I can only go to Fastboot Mode.
Anyone know how to backup the file using abd without getting into android?
Why did make 2 threads about this. Unlock the boot loader and use adb to flash your stock. Image files. You will loose all data unfortunately but I think that's the only way to fix it.

Ok I'm stuck with the same problem now. I wanted to flash a ROM, so I downloaded AOKP, flashed it and rebooted and the phone refuses to boot past the Google logo and keeps rebooting again and again. I am able to get into the recovery. I have flashed the ROM several times and its still the same. I have done a complete wipe as well. Still no go.
Fastboot command doesnt work in the bootloader either. I have made sure the drivers are installed, still there is nothing when I type fastboot devices. If I type any fastboot command it just says <waiting for device> or something like that.
Any other suggestions? :-s
Hey Guys,
So I am totally stumped at the moment.
I have used the Hasoon2000 HTC all-in-one and performed the following:
Unlocked the bootloader
flashed the recovery
Installed SuperSU
My phone is rooted and all is good but now everytime i try to open an app that has something to do with i think either the gpu or sound it freexes then restarts.
What should i try?? I have tried to flash stock recovery with no success and wiped the cache and tried full factory reset. All results in the same issue. I ahve even tried to remove the SU in the system/xbin and bin folders.
Should i try flashing with a stock rom?
Any help is much appreciated

Which apps are doing it, are they stock or 3rd party??
You will find there are still a lot of apps out there that dont work or arent too clever on ICS, so if its from the market id investigate its ics compatability b4 you do anything.
It has happened to me, PROPMODDER, it loads, but as soon as you try to alter something it all goes wrong.
Failing that, try booting into recovery, wipe the cache, dalvik cache, and finally fix permissions, see if that helps any, if it is stock apps causing the problem and you dont want to use 3rd party apps you could also boot into fastboot, open a cmd prompty changing to your ADB directory were fastboot is and try FASTBOOT ERASE CACHE, this can sometimes help with issues.
Good luck with it, i hope you solve it.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I have tried clearing both caches and fixing permission (clockwork recovery) but it has made no difference. it is any app including stock that cause this issue. Seems to be anything related to the GPU or sound (pretty sure sound).
I have the srock RUU, should i lock the boot loader and install the RUU (1.28)??
as a basic test i just tried Youtube and as soon as the video begins to play it freezes for 10 seconds then restarts
Attempted to install orignial RUU but got an image error unpn installation
I checked my phone which matchs the below file, dont know why it thinks its wrong
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.28.707.10_Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_257076_signed.exe

Did you lock your boot loader before flashing the ruu?
Also, did you read some threads around here so you could understand what you are doing to your phone? I'm asking this because the all in one tool is nice, but it's also dangerous when you don't quite understand how it works
Well no i didnt have the bootloader relocked as it wouldnt load the OS back up, it just kept booting to bootloader. Turns out that was a good thing. Ran RUU and now im back to the beggining lol thanks all for your help. I will do some more reading before I root again
Any recommendations? all i want to do is a simple root to connect a ps3 controller lol

Ive tried searching and googling, but couldnt really find an answer to my problem..I have flashed many roms on my HD2, but only 1 on my gnex. I dont know much about using terminal and the adb system..so im quite lost.
sitation:
-when i put my battery in, i can go into fastboot
-if i let it boot, the google logo with the lock at the bottom boots... then it goes to the loading screen... after about 5-10 seconds, it will reboot and repeat.
i have the sdk tools thing installed on my mac. Im pretty sure its installed correctly but im not exactly sure how to use it.I have an old version of gummy (0.9.0?) and have been running it fine for about 2 months. I used the toolkit program to root and unlock it. installed cwm and installed the rom. didnt have any problems until today, i had just sent an email, and then about a minute or two later, the phone restarted and started booting itself over and over.
I booted into recovery and wiped everything and still boot loops. So i wiped everything again and installed the same rom because I don't know transfer through bootloader. still no luck, after leaving bootloader or recovery it will continue to boot loop.
right now i cant reflash to stock because i can't get my phone to connect to my mac.
my questions:
-will i need to reflash my baseband//kernel/recovery?
-either an update of the rom or a new rom would fix this, yes? how do i transfer a new rom to my phone through fastboot?
-Since i dont have access to my pc, can i do this from my mac? How?
sorry to be so newbie, but i really am with the gnex If anyone can please give me a general step by step... i can search how to specifically do each step.. but i just need help figuring out what to do at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!!
Ok so guys i had just rooted my htc wildfire s (or atleast thought i rooted it ) and was trying to install a cyanogen mod ROM , it would not install ,if it would install it would be stuck at the htc logo screen , now i thought this would be the fault of recovery so i decided to install another recovery and flash that with cmd (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) but then when i booted in recovery it would show me the pink recovery, i got a little scared and flashed another recovery and now the recovery will not even boot . it will just go on htc logo and black screen , i tried many different recoveries but no avail , it is in s-on right now , please forgive me if this sounds noobish i really am a noob at this .please provide me with a solution and tell me if it is bricked and if i can repair it by taking it to a software shop and asking them to do it for me (Just advise me if i can come back from this)
Flash the first recovery, which actually worked, and if it installs, wipe everything and flash a basic CM7 rom. It'll work. It's just soft bricked don't worry.

actually i gave it to a software store , he said he couldn't do it as the files were not to be found ... i think it might have been bricked but seeing as i can access h-boot only and when i turn on the phone it only stays on the htc logo screen and does not proceed can you call this bricked . ? i tried the first recovery as you mentioned but it was no use ... i tried relocking and unlocking bootloader again but it seems as if that was unnecessary as nothing different happened .. im still waiting for an answer
This is really very weird.

Start from square one, unlock the bootloader, flash the recovery, if one doesn't install, try another, at least one will surely work, and then flash a new rom.
All the best.
Remember, android can never be bricked, there is always a way out.

hi all im hoping u can help me i have an xperia play which i tryed to root using cynogen mod 12 but it fails on install it will then reboot and show the blue cynogen logo but sit thier untill battery pull. i can access cyonogen recovery but thats all. ive tried installing other roms such as 9, 10 and 11 but all do the same thing (although 11 does seam to install/unpack).
i unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone successfully. i also used flashtool to flash the boot.img.
i have heard i could fix the problem by sideloading another better recovery tool but i dont know how to do that. as off now im stuck in cynogen recovery.
any advice you could give would be greatfully appreciated, at this point im completely out of ideas and if you need anymore info i would be happy to provide it
thanks in advance
Hi,
It would be nice if you linked the exact ROM you tried to flash on you phone. It sounds like the boot.img is incorrect.
You can try flashing this kernel forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804003 . This one is for ICs roms(4.0.x).
Or this one - for Jelly Bean versions(4.1-4.2) - forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861970 .
All you have to do, is boot into fasboot mode and flash the given .img file as boot.img. (The difference between 480p and 720p kernels, are that 480 can't capture 720p videos, but sometimes 720p kernel doesn't work with all roms).
hi tnx for the help the rom i tried to install was cm-12-20150314-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-zeus
i think your idea would work but im unable to boot into fastboot mode as i used flashtool before and it doesnt recognise my phone anymore ( i dont know if i can use ADB as that option is available on my boot loader)
if you could provide me with a link to how to flash a new .img/rom using another way other than flash tools that would be really helpful. im sry to be such a noob, i have rooted every phone i had and never encountered this problem before and am completely stuck.
tnx again for your help
ok ignore my last msg i managed to flash the .img in fastboot no problem but now it wont let me into recovery mode so i think im stuck in some infinate boot loop no matter how many times i click volume down it just reboots after about 2 mins, anything i can do about that or am i now really bricked?
tnx again for your help

Well you could try to return to point zero by flashing your phone to stock rom and try to begin from there.
You can do that by using flashtool and downloading stock ROM from these forums.
BTW, you can enter flash mode by inserting usb cable and holding search button(i think, you can try other buttons). Your LED has to turn green, blue is fast boot.
Also if your flashtool give you errors, download earlier version (see some other threads about flashtool, there are links to older version). Maybe it doesn't recognize your phone, because of the new version, i've had problems with it too, but i had to download old version and everything started to work as expected.
