Hi there,
I recently installed ARHD 9.0 on my One-X but didn't like it, so i tried to revert to CM10 and now i think i've screwed things up. I rebooted, ran CWM, did a full wipe, cleared the cache and dalvik cache, installed CM10, installed GApps and tried to reboot and flash the CM10 boot.img - however instead of booting back into the bootloader the phone just continued booting and is still at the CM10 boot screen. I can't access bootloader for some reason - i hold down power and volume down, but no bootloader. Is my phone bricked? What can i do?
Appreciate any help. Thanks.

How did you find yourself in that position to begin with? Was it flashing a new rom? Did you flash the boot.img? Don't panic, so long as you have access to the bootloader, you will be ok.
Fastboot erase cache
Then try to enter recovery

Hey Everyone.
My question is has anyone experience that sometimes when booting you will be stuck in a boot loop?
As in sometimes it can go to the menu and sometimes it just keep booting and booting.
Mine always(well most of the time) stuck on the boot where it always shows the android image.
Is it just me or anyone else has the same problem.
also, correct me if im wrong, going to recovery mode is : Multiple Tap the Back Botton Right?
1)So far i have installed v5,6,7
2)Didnt use any overclocking apps.(eg. setCPU)
edit: just tried 7 still same problem for me.
running on .368 boot loader unlocked.
EDIT : Super irritating. i tried flashing generic and UK.
1)flash to FW:4.0.A.2.368
2)switched on. adjust the settings.
3)switch off phone.
4) fastboot installed kernel.
5) boot up, gave boot loop. -.-"
any suggestions? i keep flashing and flashing.

try using adb format command to the following partition: /system, /data, /cache, /boot
it is reportedly "cleaner" than busybox command in recovery
then try to reflash stock firmware and kernel
Hope u get it done!

What did you try to install that has made your phone bootloop? Need some details,What ROM are you running ?If you are in recovery but have not made a nandroid backup then you will have to reflash a ROM as you have no way to restore the ROM back to when it was working

If your phone will not boot and with no backup then you could try re-flashing your ROM from recovery,wipe the cache and dalvik then re-flash your ROM,if that works then reboot into recovery and do a backup, that way if you break things again then you can restore the phone to a working state.

Yeah But This Is The Problem When You go into bootloader select recovery same thing happens freezes, go into factory reset same thing happens
Sorry what do you mean by freezes?Talk me through it,From bootloader you scroll down and select recovery,then you go to factory reset,what happens?
The bootloader/recovery is independent of the ROM so if you broke your ROM by trying to install the ICS Launcher it can't affect bootloader/recovery,how did you try and install the launcher,be specific please.

Hey!
I decided to install a new custom ROM. I went from Revolution HD and tried Viper v2.0, after installing it, my phone has been refusing to boot. (I used Revolution HD Super wipe before installing Viper v2.0) It freezes at "htc quietly brilliant" and stays there and doesnt do anything. Ive jumped into bootloader several times, first i tried the obvious and start Recovery. But everytime I press recovery i can see the "Clockwork recoverymode" for about 0.5 seconds, then some sort of loading and then it reboots and goes back to the startup screen and stays there. Ive alos tried the factory reset, but that didnt work either, so now im wondering what to do and im a little worried.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks alot!

Have you chosen the fastboot option in the boot loader, plugged in the usb before trying to talk to your phone with fastboot?

This problem happened to me a while back, it causes due to cache getting accumulated, fastboot erase cache got my CMW recovery working again..
i dont know why isnt it working in your case..
And about ROM not booting looks like boot.img problem, i hope u made a nandroid

Hello guys,
So basically my phone shut down while I was using the app drawer. And it got into a boot loop. The phone is rooted, and it has Lean Kernel and Paranoid Android 3.6 installed on it. It tried to factory reset, wipe data, wipe cache, basically do everything in the recovery mode, but it still wouldn't boot. So then I formatted the sd card, and everything else there was to format. And now the phone is just stuck on the word Google. I understand (guess) that's because I've formatted the internal memory. How do I get to flash a rom to the phone now? The computer can't seem to get a connection via USB while the phone is stuck on the word Google. Thanks for your help

Just ran in to the exact same problem on my girlfriend's phone. Please help. It turns on and I can get into bootloader mode and recovery but when I go to reboot, it just stays on Google startup screen. I did the same things, formatting and such. The sd card is empty with nothing to flash. Help!
Ok, so I've managed to flash another rom. But it only shows me the boot animation and back to the Google logo...

I tried installing this kernel and this rom. But it still doesn't boot up. It seems that the kernel is installed on the phone, but the rom isn't, because the command line on the phone doesn't actually write Done or anything else, it just sits there for a while doing nothing.
why dont you flash back to stock using fastboot?
Been there and the "Nexus Root Toolkit" by WugFresh really came in handy. Used the software to go back to stock and since then no problem

Via fastboot flash the recovery first and restore from there
and then see..
it should boot up..
or
just flash a stock rom too then.

Ok, so I'm trying the Nexus Root Toolkit right now to get back to stock. But the log shows that archive does not contain:'boot.sig' , 'archive.sig', and 'system.sig'. The process was finished, and it says that stock was isntalled on the phone, but it still stuck in boot loop. It says in the CMD that it might be stuck in boot loop for 5-10 minutes, but it will eventually boot. But the phone still doesn't. And I've also tried to install each .img file through fastboot using this guide. But it still seems to be stuck in bootloop. I've been waiting for 5 minutes, but I'll keep it on for longer...
Update:
Ok, once it showed that :"apps are updating x out of y" and then it started looping again, and then another time it booted until the place where I could choose my language, aaaand it started looping again.

Well that is a progress
Try to update the recovery using Nexus Root Toolkit. Push the stock ROM using the advanced option and then flash the stock again using recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik cache then reboot.

try to lock your bootloader. if its still unlocked after you reboot your phone, your emmc chip is fried.
Having the bootloop. I've tried the Universal Nexus Tool for Linux and get no boot SIG and recovery SIG error.
I can't get it to boot at all. :/

I locked it with "fastboot oem lock" and after taking out the battery it says that the bootloader is locked. So I guess the emmc chip is fine?
By the way, is emmc memory related in anyway to the Lagfix(fstrim) app that I've got from Google Play to speed up my Nexus? Maybe the problem is somewhere there?
Also, If I'd locked the bootloader and took it to the Sprint store, would they try to fix it even though I had the phone for more than a year?
I've tried everything and still a bootloop. No matter if I recover to stock or flash a custom ROM.
