Run the official RUU manually while your phone is connected via your PC.
You should be able to download it from here via shipped-roms.com
EDIT: Ah.. just read what you mentioned about it being stuck in a bootloop.
Once you download the RUU, like to your Desktop, power off your phone (pull out the battery, and put it back in) (this will switch off your phone)
Hold volume down button. and while holding it press the power button. When the white screen (Bootloader) appears that means you are on the right track (if it doesnt, do the same thing again, power off your phone, and try again)
Now plug in your phone to your pc. (With usb cable) and on the phone it should say HBOOT USB PLUG (white letters with blue background behind the letters)
Press Power button again. Just a short press)
Now there should be "FASTBOOT USB" (white letters with red background behind the letters)
Don't touch the phone anymore
On your PC, start the file you downloaded, and follow the on screen instructions. This installation will take some time, like 15minutes.
thanks for the help, it worked well! after installing the official rom it is booting again. Thanks!

Ok, no problem. Thanks for the response.
I have same problem but when i run the update it completes but goes back to the htc screen and stays there.
I have a rooted (S-OFF) Droid Incredible running CM7. Just yesterday it started to get very laggy. I decided to reboot, which it did. However, upon reboot it failed to recognize the SD card. The phone then timed-out to the lockscreen, and I could not get it to wake up. Ocassionally, when pressing the power button, the 4 capacative touch buttons will light up & give feedback, but the screen remains off.
I started it into HBOOT & attempted to boot from Recovery, but it simply looped back to the main menu. It also briefly flashed a screen with green text stating "No Image!" in a number of directories. (This screen lasted for less than a second, so it is hard to recall exactly what it said).
I rebooted normally and was able to operate a few apps, but the SD card remained unrecognized. Once it timed-out to the lockscreen, I was back to the unresponsiveness. All I can do is remove the battery & reboot, but I get the same results every time.
Any help or guidance you may be able to provide is GREATLY appreciated!!
First i would reformat the sdcard fat32 with your pc. Then i would reflash cwm recovery thru hboot http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip, and then wipe everything in the mounts and storrage menu. Then restore a known good backup or flash a fresh rom. If that dosent fix it i would do an ruu.
Hello guys. I have CM9. Yesterday night my battery was at aboyt 5%. When i went at home i activated the wifi and then my phone shut down. Then I turned it on and it shut down again. When i tried to turn it on again, the phone go in brick on the blue man that load. I can go into recovery.
Is there any chance to save my data or have I to format my phone? Please help me! THANKS!
Then I turned it on and it shut down again. When i tried to turn it on again, the phone go in brick on the blue man that load. I can go into recovery.

bro, this maybe caused by your power button. see if your power button is stucked, because i have the same case with you too~ my phone keep auto turning on and off itself and i realized that my power button is stucked. I tried to spam the power button and finally the problem.
Once it happened with me too.
For safety, plug your phone on your computer, turn on in CWM mode, go to mounts and storage, and select mount USB storage, then make a backup of your both sdcards.
To correct the issue:
Copy your rom's zip and gapps to your sdcard, then unmount USB storage, now flash the rom's zip and the gapps without any wipe. You'll lose your mods and tweaks, but the apps, etc, will stay there.
If you have flashed a rom and your tablet "soft bricks", i.e. it gets stuck at the Samsung splash screen or boot loops Recovery there is an easy way to recover without having to reflash the original firmware in ODIN (assuming you were smart and made a NANDROID backup before flashing your rom).
TURNING THE DARNED THING OFF:
Here's the problem. If you are at the Samsung splash screen or boot looping Recovery, you cannot turn your tablet off by just pressing the power button and you can't pull the battery. This prevents you from getting back into Recovery and restoring your NANDROID backup. So here is what you do:
1) Plug your tablet into your computer (this is important!).
2) Hold down the home, volume down and power buttons until you boot into download mode. Once you are prompted, push the volume up button to enter download mode completely.
3) Now, once in download mode, hold down the power and volume down buttons (not the home button this time) until you screen goes blank (your tablet MUST be plugged into your computer for this to work!). Release the buttons and you will see the battery symbol on your screen. Your tablet is now off - thank god.
4) To enter Recovery mode, hold the home, volume up and power buttons down until Recovery loads.
5) Restore your NANDROID backup.
Disaster averted.

Only works if the tablet is off. The key part of this little tutorial is just turning the tablet off when you are stuck in a loop. Once you are off you're golden.
I panicked yesterday because i can't exit download mode with a simple hold of the power key,

Hope this helped.
Thanks.
Lots of new roms. Make sure you check those firmware numbers before flashing folks!
When I was stuck on the Samsung logo for 20 minutes after installing this (beta version) rom a week or so back I did this:
1. Held down the Home, Power, Volume up and down buttons for about 10 seconds, not sure if you need all of them held down, but it seems it force restarts the tablet.
2. After the screen went black I immediately held down the Home, Power, and Volume down buttons to enter into download mode.
3. Flashed the latest XAR stock rom from SamMobile.
If anyone is testing a new kernel keep an eye on those temps. An app called CPUTemp has excellent monitoring. You want to be staying under 100c even when benchmarking.
Almost there but
I did everything you said but when i press the recovery combo nothing happens.It is as if there is no recovery!!!
Help plz.I am furstrated and angry!!!

Ok that all worked fine, but now that I got it turned off I can't get it to go any further than the charging icon is there a way to push files to it while it off? any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated
Same here. Can get into download mode but can't get into recovery. I've TWRP.
Ok made it into recovery.
Update:
I've now wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache and after rebooting it now says Android is upgrading / Starting apps.
Is this a good or a bad sign?

Thanks a lot. I just registered at xda developers in order to be able to reply and thank you. You saved my tabS 8.4 two weeks ago. However, I lost this thread since that time and I just found it again today after almost 2 hours of google searching. All that to show my appreciation for helping me to switch off my tablet having been stuck at the booting loop.
I would send you money if I knew how. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I had this problem with a Samsung Tab S I got at Costco, and returned it for a new one. That was about a year ago, and I was sure I would have to take it back again. You are uberawesome!
Kindly help me if u can ^_^

Dear,
My case problem is like yours, after I wipe from TWRP I do restart my device & I'm now stuck on Samsung Logo or Battery Logo (if I plug it with my computer).
Now how can I download a new firmware, although I can't open download mode or recovery mode through (Volume Down+Home+Power)?
Thnx n Adv.

You have a couple of options.
1) Do as the guide says. It usually works.
2) If it didn't work, unplug your device and wait until it discharges the battery and goes off. Then charge it from USB, and turn it on with holding down Home+VolumeDown+Power buttons until DOwnload mode appears. Then press VolumeUp, and flash it from ODIN.
UNIQUE SITUATION....... Long story short. Have LG G3 LS990, I accidentally deleted twrp stock backup from sd card, and was stuck with running CM 12.1. Then I flashed the wrong zip file using twrp to get stock firmware back. It was for a different model number, verizon I think. After that I could only boot in recovery, but twrp would not recognize/restore the CM 12.1 backup from sd card. I had a CM based Crdroid rom zip on my PC which I transferred to sd card and flashed in twrp. It worked and after the initial setup the the phone would just cut off. Went to stock recovery and factory reset. BAD IDEA! I cant get into download mode, it will flash the icon and then cut off when I plug into pc while holding vol down. Cant get into any recovery, tried all options to do so. Only option I have is to pwr on device, it goes into the Crdroid Cyanogen based rom and cuts off 15 seconds later. looked at many threads to fix problem, but nothing works because PC wont install drivers when phone is connected. When the rom opens up the pc will recognize the phone but only for 15 seconds before it cuts off. I have to remove the battery just to start up again. No recovery, download mode, adb/fastboot interface. Phone only powers on, show LG...powered by android screen, then goes into boot animation for CrDroid [the one with the eye of horus], and then i have about 15 second to swipe up and go into app folder, setting, etc. Then it just cuts off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
