I rooted my G2 about two months ago. I'm currently using MIUI, not the latest but the one before it. Somehow, my phone got turned off and when I tried to turn it back on, it was stuck in a bootloop. I have a custom recovery image so I don't know if that affects anything. I tried to reboot into recovery by pressing volume down and power, nothing happened. I then did volume up and power. It vibrated three times and the orange light started flashing. I pulled the battery and now when I try to turn it on, nothing happens. So how do I reboot into recovery and so I can restore my backup? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Volume down + power will get you to hboot (bootloader), you can then select recovery from there.
Vol up + power is Qualcomm download mode, which is unusable.

Thank you! I saw that somewhere else and tried it but it didnt work. I plugged up my phone it seems to be charging. I guess I should've done that first because then it came up. I tried reboot now and clockwork came up again so I tried to restore my latest backup and nothing happened. I'm going to let it charge and then try again.

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

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.
Okay, so for the past couple of days I have been having problems and I was wondering if anyone can help. I rooted my phone with Cyanoginger and it had been working fine for the last few months. I tried to turn my phone on yesterday and it simply vibrated and no screen came on. I decided to charge it and try again today. I turned it on and the screen got stuck on the mytouch logo. For the next times i tried to reboot it, this happened again, before it stopped showing anything on the screen all together. I tried to access the boot menu by pressing volume down then power with no result. Not even a vibrate from the phone. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix the phone, or if I should just give up on it.
Thanks a lot, Kevin.
Try pressing back+power to reach the bootloader, then from there get into recovery menu and load clockwork mod recovery.
Then flash cyanoginger again without wiping and then just wipe cache and dalvick-cache
Should boot up after 5-15 min
But did you flash a radio or spl/hboot or try s-off but it failed?
back+power didn't work. and for the last thing you said i have no clue what you are trying to say, so if you could please explain it a little better I might understand. thanks, Kevin.
lol that's because its not back+power
LMAO
Do this..
Turn your phone on by pressing the following:
Power+Volume DOWN+Camera button.
You will enter a screen, now select recovery by using the VOLUME and POWER keys and enjoy.
Okay so here's what happened. I unlocked my device just fine, and attempted to install a ROM, didn't work, So i decide I'm going to try to install cyanogenmod. I go this (wikiDOTcyanogenmodDOTORG/w/Install_CM_for_a5 )wiki tutorial [/URL] and I attempt to flash clockworkmod recovery via this link (builderDOTunstableappsDOTCOM/#/latest/clockworkmodrecovery/a5) When i flash, it installs. But then upon booting I get the app for developement only screen, and it's stuck showing my battery charge screen, with the orange charge light. Anyways I can't boot using the power down volume combo. I'm currently waiting on the battery to die so I can reflash the stock recovery, because fastboot won't recognize the device when I plug it in, even though my computer makes the device connected tone. So should I just wait until the battery dies? Or is there something else I can do?
Any help will be appreciated, thanks
Solved
I actually solved my problem. I waited for the phone to die, powered it on normally. Then to reset the device and held the power and up button as soon as the screen went black hit down on the volume and got into my bootloader.
Looking for some creative answer here. This is my backup phone right now, but I'm trying to get it flashed back to stock. Here's the thing, I don't have a power button. Last year, I came across the issue of the phone turning on and off constantly, after a lot of research, it was determined to be caused by a faulty power button, so I took it off. To power my phone on, I take out the battery, put it back in, plug in a USB cable while pressing Vol Down and Home, and then select the boot normally.
Now, after trying to flash stock with ODIN, i'm stuck on the Samsung logo on bootup. After a bit of looking around, it seems the common resolution is to wipe cache factory reset in recovery. Unfortunately, while I can get into recovery and arrow down to the option, I can't select it due to the lack of power button.
So, is there any way with adb or fastboot that I can do the factory reset or whatever? Or is there any other options?
Maybe flash twrp and use that to wipe.
Hi,
after running a rooted Kitkat for a year or so I thought I wanted to install CM12.1. So I wiped and flashed via CWM Recovery and also flashed some GApps (probably the wrong one). After flashing (with confirmation that everything was successful), I wanted to reboot but after clicking on reboot, the screen just went black. Waiting for 5 mins, nothing changed.
Pushing the Power-On button lets the phone vibrate once, that's it. Pushing Vol+ or Vol- together with Power-On does not change anything. Connecting a charger to the phone, let the red LED flash once.
What can I do to revive my phone....?
Suggestions or hints are greatly appreciated

Try holding power and volume up together for 8-10 seconds, just to make Sir it's totally powered off, then connect the charger and see if it starts charging. Older batteries don't do well in this phone. It wseems to me you might have had the sudden-battety-drain phenomenon when you flashed.

Thanks, that seemed to have work. I am now a happy user of CM12.1 on my Xperia Z1 Compact
