Phone is "looping" while booting. - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I left my Desire with low battery on night, in the morning I woke up and I realized that it is turned off - it probably discharged. I turned it on, and it turned off while booting, it didn't have enough energy to boot... So I charged it a little bit, and again booted - phone is booting, there is green HTC logo, then "HTC Quietly Brilliant" with booting sound, and then black screen and it is booting again and again... Phone have RUU 2.3 (Gingerbread), I used GoLauncherEx, and it is rooted. I can enter recovery, I tried "reboot" and "reboot bootloader" but still the same. I wasn't doing anything with Phone, everything was working, so it happened without reason? Or maybe it's because of Launcher which is loading after turning on phone? Help me, please

I don't think that it is caused by launcher, because from what you wrote, your phone doesn't even get to UI.
Firt of all, I'd try doing a nandroid backup (just for sure), then full wipe (everything...., do it 3 times, I think I have read somewhere that cwm sometimes doesn't do i properly first time). Try to reboot. If it is still the same, try to flash another rom (cm7 for example). If that doesn't help, try official not rooted RUU and it should fix the problem. (Then, ofcourse, you will have to root your phone again.)
Good luck

Well, I found something like "Clear Storage" and it helped, thanks for answer anyway

OK, I am glad it has been solved

[Q] Mobile phone vibrates 7 times hard

My phone is T-mibile G2,I can't reinstall the system or restore factory setting. When the system starts up,it will stay in the Boot Animation and vibrator 7 times then stop,I have to remove the battery to reboot. Reinstall Hboot,recovery,RUU didn't work neither,whatever I have done to my phone,the old system is still there,with my application,SMS.....What can I do ?
Hi. I face the same problem. No solution from me unfortunately. My DZ is unrooted, stock 2.3.3 system with Sense 2.1 I think.
Phone crashed, when updating market apps. Powering on displays HTC logo and that's that. Nothing else happening.
I do get working bootloader, but when I select Factory Settings, phone freezes on bootloader screen. If I select Recovery the screen will display the standard recovery icon with the phone, and green cictular arrows over it, then the screen goes blank, and I get the seven vibrations.
What I did try was going into Fastboot, and try to flash shipped RUU, which is the only option with locked bootloader. It froze on the Fastboot screen as soon as the installer on my computer diaplayed "Resetting Bootloader" message (or something similar, don't remember exactly).
My google research gave only one possible solution (except sending the phone to HTC (they repair the issue with no questions asked, apparently). The seven vibrates happend quite a few times with Nexus One. Someone said that depleting the battery helped, another user said that what helped him was charging the phone for 12-24 hours. Well, Can't say that I'm optimistic, but I'll try both, with depleting first, obviously, and get back to you.
Any other ideas?
EDIT: Sent mine for a warranty repair.

HOX Won't Boot

I need a bit of help with a stock HTC One X. As of this morning it won't boot up. I have made no changes to the ROM, everything is stock.
Tried entering the recovery panel and turning fastboot on then restarting but every time the system stops at the "HTC One" page after making a startup sound. Sometimes the screen will go black and hitting the volume keys will bring up the volume changer but that is it.
There was no warning of an OTA update or anything like that.
When charging the screen stays on and dims, but stays on the "HTC One" screen.
Factory reset HOX and it booted, but next day same issues. This is 3 times I've had to factory reset now.
Every time I restart or cold boot it freezes on the "One X" screen.
This exact same thing has just happened to me! Just 10 minutes ago
I have no idea what to do.
I have not attempted root or anything like that everything is stock (Optus from allphones).
All I did was restart and now I cannot get into the phone.
I can get to those options (fastboot) by holding down the volume down button and the power button but restarting it or powering it off there does not help.
I havn't tried a factory reset yet as I'm scared about loosing all my data.
Can someone please help!
Please please
I'm suprised someone else is having the exact same issue what the hell is happening
Have you tried using the Recovery option from the Bootloader?
Yeah I tried that.
It didn't do anything. I've since done a factory reset. That worked but I've now lost everything
Now that's it's allw whiped I figure I might as well root it and install android revolution. I hope it's just a software thing and this will fix it.

Fair enough, if you're thinking of Rooting and installing ARHD etc then feel free to use my Guide : The Stock to Custom ROM Awesomeness guide
It'll take you from Stock to having ARHD on your phone ok

Took it into HTC last night and had the firmware flashed. No problems now... 12 hours with numerous restarts just to make sure.
It looks like it was a corruption in the software. I noticed HTC turned off the fast boot option before giving the phone back to me. Took 30 minutes in total.
If it happens again, try to hold the power button and the "Homepage" button at the same time. You should see a grey box saying "Continue holding to restart".
Thats a full restart rather than a shell restart.
That may help.

My DHD failed on me today..

Hey all
I've encountered a very weird problem today.
I don't know how, but this morning i woke up ontop of my phone (yeah i know xD), which was extreemly hot & stuck at HTC-logo screen.
I quickly took out the battery and let it cool down, but after i tried to reboot, my red led starting acting really weird..
When i tried to boot, it was stuck at the HTC-logo, so i tried another boot, which also failed.
I then tried to go to my recovery menu, but the same thing happend --> stuck on HTC-logo.
Fastboot on my pc does recognize the device, but i can't seem to install a new rom trough the fastboot menu
I now installed a RUU in hopes of restoring, but still no luck..
Can anyone help me out?
i'd be most gratefull!
BTW, i was running sabsa prime V12 for 2 weeks without issues.

I've slept on my phone many times but this has never happened to me o,O
By acting weird could you elaborate? Does it flash repeatedly?
If not, access HBOOT and then go into recovery
the led was flashing lightly and than fast, but now my led turned orange, continues.
Even when i unplug the phone out of the charger, the led stays on.
I tried accessing recovery, but it just hangs at the HTC logo.. I'm getting out of ideas
Battery pull and then try it? Sounds like a HW failure. Post on the Ace Think Tank in my signature and Glevitan will probably help you
If I helped, hit that thanks button!
HTC Desire HD (IceColdSandwich)
Samsung GNote 10.1 (Stock Awesomeness)
already tried that one hundred times
Well thanks, i hope i can find my answer there.

Phone not booting

Hi, I have a very strange issue. My One X just randomly stopped working. It started to randomly turn itself off (not the usual random reboots, it would simply stay off). It started about 2 days ago and the problem continued to appear more and more often. Today it turned itself off and didn't want to boot again. When I tried to boot it, it got to the HTC quietly brilliant screen and just turned off. The battery shouldn't be the problem because I charged it and it won't boot when it's connected to the PC either. When this problem appeared, I wiped cache and dalvik cache in recovery, hoping it would fix it. After that, the phone started to turn off after spending a few seconds in recovery. Now I can't access the recovery anymore. I flashed CWM again just to be sure and it still won't boot into recovery. I also tried with fastboot erase cache and reflashing the boot.img, but no luck. I am running ICJ 3.2.1 I think (not sure about the exact version and there is no way to check it) and hboot version 1.39. S-ON, bootloader unlocked ofcourse. Booting to bootloader works and the phone stays in there without turning off. I deeply apologize if there was a similar thread to mine, but I am very, very busy because I'm writing my final exam tomorrow and I really need my phone.
EDIT: I just tried to boot it and it worked for some reason. I can't even begin to explain this problem, it is really, really weird. tried booting it a minute ago and it didn't work. I literally just wanted to enter bootloader but I guess I didn't press the volume down button hard enough and it just booted normally. It turned off again after a few seconds and now it won't boot again. When I leave it connected to the PC when it's turned off, the PC starts to make USB connect/disconnect noises quite randomly.
Why don't you try flashing the latest version of ICJ (3.4) with a full wipe and see whether the problem persists? Can you enter recovery now??
However, there's always a possibility of a hardware failure... and your situation with the random reboots / recovery reboots suggests somethings wrong!

Sounds alot like a issue I had on ICJ quite a while ago.
If you select recovery at the bootloader, do you see the recovery for a split second and after that it reboots? I did flash multiple recoveries but it all didn't help. The luck I had is that fastboot was still working
I tried everything to get it to work, but nothing seemed to help. The only luck I had was that fastboot worked, and with that I managed to flash a RUU. What actually happend I don't know, but it worked again.

[Q] JellyTime gets stuck on bootanimation

Hi, I have been running JellyTime 4.2 R11 for few weeks now on my S-OFF Desire HD.
Today, I noticed that the light was blinking and battery was low 6%, so I decided to put it into charger, and somehow when I connected it soon I accidently disconnected the charger, and when I put it back, the phone probably crashed or something, since it went black and the white screen with HTC logo appeared and it started to boot again. Now, JellyTime tries to boot, the bootanimation goes fine for sometime but then it gets stuck after "playing" the bootanimation for a while, nothing happens, even if I wait 5 minutes, it's stuck, bootanimation is frozen, no matter do I have the charger connected or not.
So, is there anything I could do, or is reflashing the only solution? I did full wipe when I flashed the ROM.
If you need more information, sure, just ask.
You could try dirty flashing, but if that doesn't work you'll have to reflash.

Thanks for the tip, but it didn't help, gets stuck still on bootanimation.
Time to full wipe and flash it again then. Wipe&FlashTime
Happened to me a few times. I suggest a battery pull before anything else. Seems stupid. But it can work in some cases

I did battery pull several times considering that the phone refused to shutdown even when holding the power button for 10 secs, so battery pull was needed every time.
Anyway, it's now running fine when I reflashed.

I have the same problem since a crash on opening the outlook-email App (JellyTime 4.2 R9).
I found, that the "data" partition causes the trouble when booting. Formating the "data" partition with "4ext recovery" fixes boot-freezing. But this is not an option for me as my last (working) backup is a couple of months ago (yes, I know - should backup more frequently...).
I was able to backup the up-to-date "data" partition (with 4ext recovery) but when restoring it (even on an fully wiped and updated system) boot sequence freezes again.
Any ideas???
Many thanks!
Solved the problem with the data-backup. Instead of restoring complete partition the APP "AppExtractor" works fine for restoring data of the partition backuped.
For now, system runs perfectly.
Conclusion:
If system hangs in Boot-Animation use Recovery for backup of up-to-date system. Full wipe system and install ROM of your choise. After that restore SMS, contacts, etc. with "AppExtractor". Apps should be installed from PlayStore as far as possible. "AppExtractor" allows restoring of app, data+app, data.
