Hello all, I rooted my moms kindle fire back in January using the FFF method. I make a back up of the system monthly because she has slot of games. The recovery on it cwm touch, not sure of which version but I installed it in January...so a early version I assume. She turns on the tablet then it powers off once it goes to the home screen and then goes into recovery and tries to install something, then a triangle with the Android figure appears. So I restored a back up from last month and now it boots fine. Is there a reason why it did this? I see other threads that have this problem but they have battery issues, this kindle is fully charged. I dont want this to happen again in the future, is there a update that maybe pushing through? thanks guys!

I have been running Franco's Kernal and a stock 4.0.4 rom for a week or more now. I have had ZERO issues, and the phone was running flawlessly.
A few min ago I got a reboot when surfing the web, and when it restarted Nova launcher was not responding and kept flashing an ERROR message. I had to turn it off from the lock screen.
When I rebooted into recovery ClockWork was gone, and I got the android on his back with the red sign. I finally got it to the stock recovery and tried to wipe but it hung. Now I am getting a boot loop.
What is the best way to go about resolving this?
Thanks for any help!
Try doing mskip toolkit from scratch and that should solve it. Do you remember what your build # was?

I was using WUGS toolkit. Should I just use the option to put the phone 100% back to stock?
I can't even begin to guess what happened..lol
this is why i always stay away from "leaked".

So I've tried installing the JRO030 update on my Gnex twice now. Both times ended with it being stuck at the boot logo AFTER a complete shut down. I followed the instructions to a t. Is there anything else I could do to fix it? I'm no noob here, but I'm lost at this point.

What phone do you have? what kind of gnex
vzw. https://www.xda-developers.com/android/verizon-finally-rolls-out-jelly-bean-jro03o-to-galaxy-nexus/
op, get in recovery, wipe data/factory reset, reflash your rom.
if you can't, then try to get in bootloader/fastboot mode, and from there to recovery. doesnt work? reflash recovery.
still doesnt work? start fresh.
oh, wait a sec, you trying to OTA? what build are you currently on?

Give it time. The restart is taking longer with the JB boot loader on the GNex. Its verifying file systems. It may take several minutes, and then will boot into the OS with the X boot animation. Been discussed in several threads.

Have you tried doing a factory reset? Attempt a factory reset and if it gets stuck on the Google boot logo, your phone is missing its recovery image, so you will need to manually flash Jelly Bean with the factory images from Google. Were you able to install the 4.0.4 update when it first came out?
Verizon Galaxy Nexus.
I'm on imm76k.
I did not know it took so long. Can you give me a link to one of the threads?
I tried a factory reset.
Yes, I did. It updated just fine.
Thanks for all the help.

Thanks. The update came yesterday and I decided to try one more time and it worked, mostly because I was patient this time. Lol. Interesting that no one really knows what it does from that tread. Only theories so far.

I have been using Cyanogen Mod for years now and have never had issues, When I saw a Official Nightly of CM10 for my SGH-T989 I figured I would flash it.
I did what I always do,
1. Created Backups for phone.
2. Used Darkside Superwipe for Both Phone and Cache
3. Installed CM10 with the corresponding Jelly Bean Gapps
When I turn my phone on now it just spins the new CM10 boot screen permanently, I cannot access Download mode but I can access a semi broken clockwork mod Recovery using the Power+Volume (Up and Down). Anything else causes the phone to vibrate every 2 seconds.
I have given it an hour or so on just BootLoop and it is never going to boot.
Is there anything I can do?
I am using CWM v.6.1.0.4
Update: If I hold down BOTH volume buttons and power + Home I can get into clockwork mod now. However it seems to freeze when doing much of anything. Very odd
Update: Looks like nothing can really be done within it. Every task freezes the phone almost instantly, When I try to restore backup I get MD5 Mismatch Errors. This task doesn't freeze the phone
Odin back to stock is your best bet. I use twrp haven't had any problems. I flashed cm 10 official about 4 hours ago and its running great

How can I Odin back to stock when I cannot get to Download Mode?
Also I should note that, I only have to hold "Volume up + Volume Down + Power till I see Samsung" to reach clockwork mod. The Home key does nothing as far as I can tell

Man that was silly of me, Thank you so much. If I could give you a hug right now I would hahaha So you are a fan of TWRP over Clockwork?
Mine did it too on another ROM, Sith. Supposedly the power button issue, but it was rom related...there are more and more people getting this weirdness with latest roms. I did what was mentioned above, got into ODIN...by the skin of my teeth, flashed back to stock and RAN (did not walk) to tmobile. I was able to get a PASS on odin and it would boot to the start up screen but google services and something else was force closing. I told the tmo rep that my phone was acting up and as a last ditch effort I did a full factory reset...and this is what I got. My replacement phone came in 2 days.
Good luck. I'm telling you guys, all these power button issues, boot loops etc are due to these new roms. I never had scary stuff like this on any gingerbread roms...EVER. MY replacement came with 4.04 so I'm good, staying stock until somebody figures out whats frying these phones.

So this is kind of a unique issue i'm having. I have the I-747 on AT&T and flashed AOKP rom (it was taking too long to get JB). It worked for about 3 days and then got stuck in the android boot screen (used the rom feature to get rid of the pink unicorns). after that, I booted into recovery and reset my phone, and it worked again for a few more days, then it wouldnt boot again (I dont believe I changed any settings between the boots). After this time, it wouldnt let me boot into recovery and would only boot to the android start screen and stop. I used odin to flash the stock rom, which only took me to the 2nd samsung boot screen and stopped (after the AT&T splash shows up). I looked online and saw someone say try CF-root using odin, tried that and it didnt help. Then tried using a custom kernel siyah s3, and now it will only show the initial samsung splash screen before turning off again. Any suggestions here? I figured I'd stop researching since i dont want to really mess up my phone worse than it already is

Your main issue now is that you flashed siyah. We don't have one. If you can get to download mode, you will want to flash back to stock.

Thanks guys! So I used odin to flash the stock boot loader and stock rom, but it is still hanging up on the 2nd samsung screen like it initially did (the one after the AT&T boot animation). Any other ideas on what could be the cause?
How long is the hang? Sure is just not the 1st initial boot of the new rom?

The first boot can take as long as 5 minutes sometimes. So, if you haven't waited that long, then try out some patience. Otherwise, try booting into recovery (stock now) and factory reset.

bump!
I have this same issue. I have restored to stock rom and it does the Samsung boot, then AT&T, then it goes to Samsung pulsating with a blue pulsating LED.
I have left it in that mode for at least 15 minutes and it never boots.
I can still get into download mode.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I let it run for 2 hours (left the house came back and i was still on. And phone wont boot into recovery at all ( i tried many times, but it just boots normally and skips recovery until it gets to the 2nd samsung screen, then stops there).
I dont know if this is relevant, but while the phone is off and plugged in, i can still see the battery meter and the Green LED (so i'm guessing it's still working, it just wont boot)

I went into recovery many times before, I'm definitely hitting the buttons right but it still wont go into recovery, it just tries booting like normal. I can go into download mode easily, but that's it.
jbizz, did you start getting this error after flashing AOKP rom also? trying to figure out what could have caused the issue in the first place
I'm not really skilled on these things, but I once had a similar issue with my phone not booting and had to end up using Kies to emergency restore it. Odin wouldn't recognize my phone but kies would.
Although I think my issue with odin may be stemming from my computers usb ports...

I actually flashed a bad kernel and the phone wouldn't boot after that.
What is the proper way to boot into Stock Recovery?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Fixed it! What I did was go into Kies software and did a firmware upgrade instead of trying to flash from odin, then put it in download mode instead of recovery, but it still worked. Thanks for all the help, guys! guess it's time to move to a CM based rom?

Sure, I'm doing this largely from memory since I mostly figured it out by throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks.
Open Kies->tools->firmware upgrade and initialization->enter model name then serial number (they're behind the battery) -> put the phone in download mode and plug it in. it should take care of the rest.
Fair warning, this will fully wipe your phone, i lost all my pics (thank you google+'s instant upload or i'd be PISSED) and titanium backup (there goes my 3 stars on every level in angry birds and great scores in temple run), but at least you get a phone that can function as more than a paper weight, right?

I was trying to reflash the 4.1.2 firmware through ODIN yesterday but I didnt remember the correct way to get into download mode, so I accidentally kept going into recovery. Annoyed by that, when the phone tried to get into recovery mode again, I just pulled out the battery and then correctly got it into download mode. I flashed the firmware but after that it keeps restarting on the samsung logo and shows the android and tries to load the recovery but after that the screen goes black and it keeps restarting. I dont know whats wrong, maybe the recovery has been damaged. Please help me get the phone back to life. Also, another thing to note is that its not even turning on by the normal way of holding the power button, but I have to press the buttons to grow into recovery in order to turn it on, but before even going into recovery, it keeps restarting.
