Hello,
I have a AT&T Tilt 2 that is caught in the boot cycle. Splash screen comes on, it reboots. I'm quite confident that flashing a new ROM will fix it it but the phone has not had hard SPL installed so I can only flash the original AT&T ROM, which as far as I can tell is not available?
I've tried to install SPL but it won't take in the state that phone is in. Is there a way to flash SPL from the memory card? Any other suggestion on how to flash it? Is the original AT&T ROM available?
Any other suggestions on how to proceed?
Your input is greatly appreciated.
try this
copy recovery img from wiki to root of micro sd card. img should be named xxx.img, insert microsd card into phone
with phone off hold down the vol down key and the red/phone call end button then power on, with any luck you should see the tricolour boot screen and the img should be detected and flashed automatically. ensure at least 50% battery
try taking your sd card out of your phone and then reboot. if that takes it out of the boot cycle, then you have installed a program to your sd card that is putting it into the endless boot cycle. after your phone boots up, uninstall whatever program that you installed to your sd card. hopefully that helps.
if all else fails, try a hard reset. just hold down the send button, end call button and power button simultaneously. it will ask you to press the volume up button to proceed. that will wipe your phone to factory settings and then you can hardspl your phone and flash away!
Milo, thanks for your reply... I can't seem to locate that recovery img on Wiki, hate to ask but can you post the link?
spacemonkey, I've tried those steps and it's still caught in the boot cycle.
You might want to explain how your phone got caught in the boot cycle to begin with. If it happened randomly, and you weren't trying to mod the phone, then just take it in for service. But somehow I doubt that's what happened. What were you doing? How come you don't have hard spl on there? What did you try to flash onto your phone, and how did you try to do it? These are all important questions that you should answer first before blindly flashing things to your phone.
The unit froze up. Tried to reboot the phone, it boot looped. Tried a hard reset, it continued to reboot.
It initially happened when a text message was coming in.
May just have to send it in. It doesn't want to take a flash of any kind it seems.

If it just crapped out on its own, then the last thing you want to do is try to fix it on your own (other than doing the obvious like hard resetting and pulling the battery). Just return it and get another.
Well it's not that easy since I'm in Canada and it has to go to AT&T so I thought if I could get it going it would save me a lot of hassle but it seems I have no choice!
Hi all. I do not post much on here and am relatively new with this so please bear with me if it is in the wrong forum and if I explain something that is worded incorrectly.
I rooted my phone following the 2 part video series I found on here and all was going well until I tried to place the following theme on it:
[THEME] MattedBlues - CM 6.0.0 and Sense 2.2 Versions *UPDATED 09/13/2010*
I rebooted after flashing it through the recovery screen and cannot get it to boot into the home screen at all. As stated in the title, I see the Sprint splash screen and then the 4G screen to start. It then sits there for a few seconds and then starts back at the Sprint splash screen again.
Any help would be appreciated as to what I can do to get back to where I was and also possibly tell me what I may have done wrong to cause this.
Thanks in advance!

You need to pull the batter hold down the volume button and hold the power boot into recovery. Go to USB mode copy over another ROM and reflash. OR restore the backup you should have performed before you flashed the theme being new I doubt you did this step.
Thanks for the quick reply!
Yes, you are right...being a noob I did not do the backup but believe me once I get this back up and running, that will be the first thing I do!
About your other suggestion, I tried to reflash with the unrevoked-forever and it still keeps doing the same thing. Should I wipe the cache out and reflash or is that not the problem here? Also, what other ROM would you suggest to be a good starter for someone new such as I am?
Thanks again!
Well, I decided to do a data wipe and reflash with a different Rom and it is now working.
Thanks!

I am experiencing the same problem. using clockworkmod v2.0.2.3 how do you get to usb mode?
So... as the title says I tried to root my phone. I'm following the CM 7 wiki guide and i got up until step 6 but I did not install cyogenmod 7 I just rebooted (i thought you just reboot and hey it installs but i guess not). So it rebooted to the original rom and then I just downloaded ROM manager again to install it. It goes through clockwork and then it reboots again so... i thought it successfully installed but it didn't because my phone was stuck on the HTC boot up screen unresponsive. So, I've been googling and so I pulled the battery and did the whole power on + volume down. It took me to the screen with fastboot,recover,and stuff but then it changed screens to the could not find PC10img.zip and wanted me to update. So i updated it again and it rebooted to the HTC screen and stayed there. Pulled the battery again, took out the SDcard, and then did the whole power up + volume button. Now I can choose the options in this screen (fastboot,recover,factory reset,simlock, system info, image crc).
Now I don't know what to do.... I want to continue to root to cyogenmod but I'm soo confused how to get back to installing it properly. Thanks for the help in advance!
edit
perhaps, i might just have to delete the PC10img.zip file? i have an mircoSDcard reader at home and if I delete it then loading into hboot should be fine..... right?
update: nevermind! i fixed it!
Hi there, I NEED URGENT HELP!
I bricked my e739, and I am running out of the options. All I see is the LG logo, I can not access my recovery mode, I tried numerous times (and before i succeed now the logo doesn't even blink it stays the same) hard reset...nothing, tried adb recovery (does not see the device).
So here is the story, I successfully updated my ROM to e739 Nightly 6. After using it for a bit, I decided to go back to stock, and just wait until all bugs are worked out. So i tried to go back to my backup that I made of stock, but no dice it got me in recovery loop, after that I tried to go factory reset, nothing. I couldn't find any way to go back to stock, so I made it my mission to reset the phone. Here where I [email protected] up, I read that using e730 (older) rom will let me out this loop and allow me to get back to the stock. So here are my steps of mischief: installed Nightly ROM 12 for e730-> then I flashed the device to LG optimus Black (dont ask why...I realize it is stupid) -> and through privacy setting clicked for factory reset. Now I am in this bootloop.
I will take any suggestions please help, it really sucks in the stone age, with edge speeds.

Hold Power and Volume Down, then after 3 seconds hold Menu and Back (not home) and when the LG logo pops up, release the Power button but keep holding Vol-, Menu, and Back.
It may take some try a to get it right.

And make sure to pull the battery and put it in again when starting to hold the Power and Volume Down

This sounds like it might work, but O got another tiny bit of problem, I been trying to reset it so many time the phone wont turn on anymore unless it is plugged into power source. I am not sure what to do now. I want try to hard reset your way but I can get the phone to respond anyway unless it is plugged in.
Well plug it in lol
I've had several bootloops myself trying to get to stock, but i always got to acces recovery and flash CM again. And now that tthe RC was released, i don't see why i should return to stock.

1) Pull the battery out

Hello, I have been having some issues with my LG E739[KW], the device was working properly. I rooted install CLOCKWORK custom recovery. After that I installed, CM9 then later CM7, the CM7 worked okay but i opted to revert to Stock So I used the LG SUPPORT TOOL to flash back to stock ROM. however after having done so the phone has been stuck in boot loop ever since. After flashing the stock ROM the phone never made it past the boot screen, and when I remove the Battery reinsert it and try to turn the phone on I get the S/W update screen. Where I have to flash it again for the phone to boot only to be stuck at the boot animation. I have also tried flashing it VIA the KDZ method but its the same result. Please Help !!!
Well, guys was doing pretty well there for a second, I had just installed CarbonROM, was tweaking to my heart's content. Flashed a bad file in an attempt to improve speaker clairity, and boom stuck on the HTC boot logo.
Popped open the back, unplugged the battery, rebooted into HBOOT, rebooted into recovery and attempted to restore one of my backups I took right before flashing the bad zip. Failed. Can't load the data partition.
Ok, got the RUU file from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-816/general/ruu-htc-desire-816-a5chl-ruu-file-t2920254
Downloaded, put on root of SD card, renamed, rebooted to HBOOT, it picked it up, seemed to flash it, but it also seemed to go faster than it should. I'm suspecting it failed as well.
So now I've just got my phone sitting in recovery. Unable to mount the data partition.
Any clue on what I can do now? Hoping I haven't bricked this sucker...
Ok, my persistence paid off....Mods feel free to close this thread, I came up with a fix.
For anyone else in the same rut, this is how I fixed it...
Downloaded stock recovery from this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4NAwrQOaS7QVkxFYnhFZmhjOGc/view
Flashed stock recovery from Fastboot.
Loaded into stock recovery, key combo'd Volume UP + Power, got to the menu. Did a factory reset. Guess it reset partition mount points or something.
Rebooted to Fastboot, flashed TWRP, rebooted to recovery, restored a backup, and bam I'm back!

Yeah, note to self, never get a phone without a removable battery. The sticky pads under the back cover while I was popping it off were annoying. Thankfully my phone was only down for a few hours.

This phone has a non-removable battery. You don't need to take out anything, all you do is hold volume up + the power button for 10 seconds or more. It will ALWAYS hard power off no matter what state the phone is in.
Also, what file did you flash over to improve the speaker clarity which broke your phone? I spoke to you about this earlier in my CarbonROM thread. I actually was able to fix the boomsound issue and there is no more crackling in my speakers. I'm going to post how to do it when I get home.
Edit: SORRY! Volume UP, not DOWN. Got mixed up

I tried Vol Up/Down + Power for at least 30 seconds, was just stuck at HTC logo screen and I could feel the phone getting hotter so instead of having it run down the battery I decided to pop off the top. The back is meant to be non-removable but starting at the SD/SIM slot...slot, a guitar pick works great to undo the clips. Used a credit card to separate the sticky pads from the back. Pulled out the battery cable from the mainboard and reseated it, started it back up in HBOOT.
I flashed some sorta ZIP that's used with the HTC One M8 phones, figured if they have BoomSound it'd help too but noooope, haha. Can't remember what it was called. Did a lot of searching, tried Viper4Android, that sucked, tried tweaking the DSP, nothing came close to the original.
Sharing my own bricking experience
I'm a newbie, but I wanted to share my own experience from a few days ago. I bricked my VM/USA 816 when I was restoring a ROM backup of CM12 over a stock ROM. I was stuck on the CM12 blue "alien head" boot screen. I tried to get into the recovery screen by holding down power & volume, but it would only reboot and load CM12 again and not TWRP.
After a couple of hours of trying to get into recovery and deciding not to wait for the battery to drain because I thought the blue CM12 logo might burn into the screen. I decided to try to remove the cover and unplug the battery. I started at the SIM/SD Card slot trying to pop the cover off a little with a small screw driver to get a credit card(CC) between the cover and phone. Once I got it started I moved clockwise(cover side up) around with either a bent CC or a smaller cut up piece of CC to pop the tabs. I wasn't very gentle since I knew I wasn't going to return the phone and I bought the phone from VM with account balance so I didn't feel like I was really going to waste $300. Thank HTC the plastic cover is very forgiving. Once you get past the HTC logo you have to worry about the sticky tape around the bottom half of the phone where the battery is located. The bent CC was the best tool here and as I said earlier I wasn't very gentle while pulling off the cover once the tabs were loose.
Once I had the cover off I didn't know how to unplug the battery connector so I decided to pry the battery out. Once I did that I could see that the connecter pops up. I plugged the battery back in but the phone tried to load CM12 again. I don't remember if I had to press power button to turn on phone or it started when I connected the battery. I got back into the same state as before with a boot loop with no way getting back into recovery. So I unplugged battery again and connected the phone to my PC. I could see the screen the flashing between the charging screen and TWRP, but I couldn't get into recovery with buttons or screen touches. I then went into a command window on my PC to try the adb command. First I did a "adb devices" then I did a "adb reboot recovery" to get into TWRP. Once in TWRP I did an advanced wipe and installed CM12, gapps and supersu again from my ext SD Card. I'm not sure but I may have done a format of the internal storage just to be safe. Once I was up and running again I replaced the cover starting again clockwise from the SIM/SD Card corner and all the way around the phone till you get near the SIM/SD Card slot and have to replace the flap which is held in place by the cover/phone.
I hope this helps anyone who runs into the same problem.

You have to flash and use CWM 6.0.5.1 and wipe the same partitions that were backed up in your STOCK nandroid backup.
Once you do this, reboot to hboot. Enter fastboot. Flash the stock recovery. Wipe the data/cache/dalvik. Reboot and go to hboot again. (Your device won't be able to boot yet.) Enter fastboot again.
Flash CWM (ONLY CWM) and make sure it flashes by flashing it twice back to back without leaving fastboot at any point.
Boot into recovery and once loaded reboot into hboot once more then go once again to fastboot and flash Philz Recovery with the same double flash process.
Now boot into it, mount as a USB and create a clockworkmod/backup folder on the device root directory since Philz Recovery doesn't use the buried part of the system like CWM.
Drag and drop your stock root nandroid backup. Use Philsz recovery to restore it. Boot up and your phone will boot after 3-5 minutes.
Flash back CM11/12 if you'd like.

Hello
Thank you for sharing your solution.
I have a problem which is described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/des...im-boots-fastboot-t3316255/page3#post65409302.
My questions to you:
1. My bootloader is locked. Is it possible to flash stock recovery on it?
2. I tried to flash official rom but I received the message "Partition update fail!". Can what you did, resolve this problem?
