Try hard resetting your phone with the help of stock recovery.
(It'll delete everything on your phone)
Follow below steps;
Step 1- Power off your device and wait for 5-10 seconds until the device is fully switched off.
Step 2 – Press and hold ‘Volume Down + Power’ buttons together and release them as soon as you see the LG logo on your phone’s screen.
Step 3 – Now immediately press and hold the ‘Volume Down + Power’ buttons again until you see the ‘Hard reset screen’
Step 4 – Press power button once and then again to confirm hard reset. If you have a custom recovery installed, your phone won’t hard reset and will boot into recovery mode.
Step 5 – Use Volume buttons to navigate Up and Down between options and use Power button to select an option.

Did u Hard Spl your device before begining this process?
Step 1: Hard Reset your device (With the device turned on, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons "aka the center button" , then press the RESET button with the stylus tip).
I will discuss the next steps upon your response.
Let me know if this works.

I tired the hard reset, I got a white screen with a message saying press volume up button to restore phone to manufacturers defaults, when I did that I got a message Restore...Completed Press VolUp to boot.
When I press the Volup button the phoen does not boot, it comes to the Touch Diamond screen and there is not ROM message at the bottom of the boot screen.
Ok, next step:
Go to your (Bootloader Screen): Vol. Down + Soft Reset
If you are successful here then just plug the device into you pc and get another ROM and start the process over by excuting the RUU_
Which Rom did u originally download.
K..let me know if this next step works.

Yeh, that is not your Bootloader Screen. Here, do it like this. Soft reset with stylus first....quickly let go of that and press Vol. Down in that order. When u see the Bootloader Screen you can let go of the Vol. Down button.

The phone is booting again and again, only if I remove the battery it can be stopped.
So it won't let you go to the Bootloader Screen then? Hmm...?
So you soft reset it and pressed vol down and it just reboots constantly?
I put the phone in triggered bootloader mode. Thanks a lots guys for your qucik response.

Htc desire 526g stuck in boot loop

Hi guys, months ago i rooted my HTC 526G with Kingoroot. I later tried to update the software over wifi. It updated but in restarting its now stuck in boot screen and sometimes goes into recovery by itself. Is there a way I can revive the firmware? Any help appreciated
HTC Desire 526G
I have problem like this ....cant fix it
Warning/Disclaimer: This will erase everything you have on the phones internal memory. (if you have play store set up right, you can just log back in afterwards and it will pull all your data/apps back, however if you don't, make sure to backup any contacts, data, ect that may be on the phones storage before attempting this) (then again, if you were already trying to root, you should have had everything backed up already anyway )
Charge the device to at least 50% (or an hour or two at least if the battery was completely dead)
Hold the Volume Down Button, Press power button, keep holding the volume down button
Phone should boot into HBOOT or Download mode,
use the volume up and down buttons to highlight Recovery Mode
press power button to select Recovery Mode
Phone will reboot with a red triangle icon, press all three buttons at the SAME time (vol up, vol down, power)
use the volume up and down buttons to highlight Clear Data (Factory Reset) press power button to select, let it finish clearing /data/ and /cache/
Once this has completed, Pull the battery out, let it sit for like 30 seconds without the battery
Put battery back in
hold power button for a while until it vibrates, release power button
let it sit at the htc boot screen for 10 minutes phone should eventually move to the verizon boot screen (if it goes over 10 minutes on the htc screen, try procedure again)
Post here if you have any trouble.
Still have problems

i've done the procedure but unluckly i'm still having this problem, did someone fix the loop with this method? should i just wait for custom roms? :crying:
I had it happen to me after trying to root with just about every tool out there, mine would boot up but wouldn't go past the htc boot screen white background green htc. After I cleared the data a few times (at least 3) it came back up, try the procedure more than once. Also be patient and wait the full 10 minutes for it to come back up, sometimes it can be slow to load for the first time after this kind of wipe.

Try to root with "PhilZ Recovery by Ajit", search on google, i don't remember where i have download it, but it is an .exe file.
After you install it on your computer, you select USB debugging, and connect your phone to the computer, the rest of the process is auto.
After the installation process, the phone will autoreboot in recovery, here you will select ---> Advanced Function---> RE-root System (SuperSU).
After that, reboot, and install SuperSU from GooglePlay.
Success.
Root without boot loop (you may want to wipe Dalvid Cache before reboot after selecting root).
I hope this works for you ( it worked for me HTC desire 526g ).
Have a nice day.
IF you dont find the Philz, contact me, i wil send it to you.
Philz Recovery by ajit is designed for devices using the Mediatek processor; Sadly our 526 (no g, no +) uses a qualcomm processor. I do not recommend anyone to attempt to use "Philz recovery by Ajit" to attempt to root their HTC 526 as at best it will fail and at worse it will flash a non-compatible recovery and turn your device into a hard-brick.

My phone was also rooted using kingroot. I received an OTA update and I downloaded it. Once the download was complete, the phone restarted and got bootlooped. Occasionally, it goes into recovery. I tried factory resetting it several times as mentioned in the solution. But each time I turn the phone ON again after factory reset, it is looping. Its not stuck at the boot logo. Instead it reboots automatically and in some cases to recovery. So the wait-for-10-mins thing is not working for me.
1. I received a stock ROM from the Russian section of XDA. Will flashing that ROM using the stock recovery using "install update from SD card" help me recover my phone from bootloop?
2. Will flashing the stock ROM unroot the phone? Presently, even after the factory resetting, "check the software partition" option in recovery returns a message "error - system has root". So I was hoping that unroofing might fix the problem. Will it?
3. If the above method fails, is there any other method? Like flashing a custom recovery or flashing a custom ROM etc?
Please help me fix the phone. Thanks in advance.
I am experiencing the same problem and have tried everything to avail, will this devise ever work again its still stuck with a white screen and green HTC

Hey negomo. I just fixed the phone yesterday. It seems that installing an OTA update while the phone is rooted can result in a bootloop or bricking(as in my case). I fixed this issue by flashing a stock ROM of the HTC 526g which I got from another Russian forum in XDA. Anyway I am posting the link of that stock ROM here.
( I am not allowed to post link. So please delete the spaces to get the actual link)
h t t p s :// yadi.sk/ d/gNKBahgZiwGmo
Once you download it do the following procedure
1. Copy it to an SD card and insert the card in your phone.
2. Press power button+volume up key button to enter HBOOT menu (while turning on the phone, press power and vol up button instead of power button alone)
3. Choose recovery option and press volume down to enter
4. Press power button once to enter recovery
5. Choose "install update from SD card"
6. Wait till it finishes installation
7. Wipe cache
8. Reboot phone
PS: I had already done a factory reset from recovery menu. I don't know if that had helped.
This will bring your phone back to life. Give around 10 mins for the first boot.
I hope I was able to help you.
Hit thanks if I did.

LG G3 D855 / flash failed / [FIX] Bootloop

Hello guys!,
Sorry If this is a re-post but to be honest I didn't find the solution to my problem in this forum.
So, I have an LG G3 D855 Lollipop 5.0 rooted, with TWRP and flashed ARM sdk21 in order to be able to use Xposed framework and, guess what? right, BOOTLOOP!. Believe me, I read many threads about HOW to access recovery mode or something else and found no quick solution for this problem. ALL that I found was to hard reset to factory settings, to use LG pc suite, flash stock firmware guide, etc, etc. I didn't want to go all the way back to Zero (loosing root), I wanted a quick fix and I found it.
If you get a bootloop (can't get passed LG logo), follow this:
1. Turn off your phone (remove the battery)
2. Put back the battery & close the cover
3. Press and hold the Volume Down + Power buttons together and release them when you see the LG logo on your LG’s screen
4. You must press and hold the Volume Down + Power buttons ONCE AGAIN until you see the ‘Hard reset screen
5. Press the Power button twice in order to confirm hard reset. If you have a custom recovery installed, your phone WON'T hard reset and will boot into recovery mode.
6. From your recovery you can try another framework or just to reset to factory settings.
I got most of the steps from here: http://androidflagship.com/9966-enter-recovery-mode-lg-g3
In my case, I chose another framework (SDK21) and it booted fine without reset anything. The xposed didn't work but I don't mind, I just wanted my cell phone to be working fine with everything installed before trying framework.
If for some reason you can't still get passed from Logo screen, you can check these methods:

Also, the original method to use Xposed framework is as follows:

One click Root failure - stuck at LG logo. Can someone please help me what to do?

Hi
I'd be really really grateful if all of you clearly (more) knowledgeable (than I) could help me.
My phone is a D855 (32gb/3gb) international model which was running on stock v5.0.
I ran v1.3 of the one click root method. and completed the whole process (or so I thought ). However, after the process said it had completed, I removed the usb cable and now find that I am stuck at the LG Logo.
Pulling the battery makes no difference. Once reinserted and power back on, the LED on the top left blinks but no boot.
I have tried to enter download mode (by removing the battery, holding the volume up button and inserting the usb cable) but again, no joy.
Can anyone please tell me what I need to do recover the situation.
Many many thanks
Update: I managed to get into recovery by turning off the phone completely and then pressing and hold Power and Volume Down. When the LG logo appeared, release. After a split second, then pressing volume down and volume up. At the white screen asking you to reset, I pressed Yes two times using Volume buttons. Saw the screen that said erasing data but still stuck at the LG logo.
Can anyone help please?
Update 2: managed to get into download mode by powering down (took the battery out) then holding the volume up button and inserting the usb cable.
What do I need to do next?
hello, you need either the lg mobile suite software or lg flash tool 2014 and a kdz
I would go for lg mobile suite - it will offer an upgrade or select it manually
also -- see the guide from hyelton in g3 general (getting back to stock)
