Stuck on boot animation after reboot - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
This morning is I rebooted my phone and now it won't turn back on. It's stuck on the boot animation.
After half a minute I can hear my phone vibrate, to indicate it's 'done' booting but it stays in the boot animation.
Sometimes I see the google logo and 'Android is Starting' for a couple of seconds but then it goes back to the boot animation.
I'm running stock rom but rooted. I can get into recovery, tried wiping cache but to no avail.
I'd prefer not to loose all my data on the phone. Any ideas?
Thanks,
AK

Just dirty flashed stock rom, no luck... Guess only thing left to try is factory reset?

Yup. Did you modify anything or install Xposed? Stock rooted shouldn't have this problem.

If I understand correctly, Android boots normally but you always see the 'android is upgrading' notification? Could you post a screenshot of your "about phone" screen?

Nothing out of the ordinary with your build or radio version. I did spot a battery indicator that's not stock. Did you flash a mod?

Try fixing permissions with cwm, if that doesn't work clear the Dalvik cache so Android will rebuild it on boot.

[Q] Kindle Fire continuous reboot after flash

The Kindle was running a modified Android Jelly Bean ROM (that I think I found somewhere on this site) - it was essentially stock 4.2.something built for the Fire. It was having charging issues, so in an attempt to fix it I opened TWRP and flashed it back to the stock OS (after making a backup, fortunately). It now reboots every 10 seconds or so. FFF has disappeared.
I've tried everything in the KFU--booting into Recovery Mode, rooting again, installing TWRP again, installing FFF again--but none of it works. Most of the time it gets stuck on "waiting for device..." after trying to reboot into Fastboot Mode.
EDIT: It seems that the issue is stemming from not being able to put it into any boot mode other than normal...
Anyone have any ideas?

The Kindle Fire starts booting normally, but then shuts off prematurely or reboots spontaneously before the device completes the startup process.

Not the case—it boots up completely. Also, it says that the solution is to install FFF, which I can't do. The battery was also charged to full when I made the post.

I'm guessing the time from start to reboot is probably closer to 30 seconds then. You apparently didn't do a factory reset in TWRP so you'll need a factory cable to get into fastboot.

I just timed it; lasted 22 seconds. I did not do a factory reset, did not know it was necessary... Do I have to get a factory cable? Is there any other option?

Yes, but I would consider it a very "last resort" option.

What is it? Depending on what it is, I'd like to try it prior to buying a factory cable.

Phone stuck in boot animation

So last night I left my phone off and on charge to charge my main battery. I went to turn it on this morning and it won't get past the boot animation, even after 20 minutes. I've tried booting with both batteries, with no luck. I'm currently running PitchBlack 2.0 (4.2.2) and haven't had this sort of problem until now. I tried wiping cache+dalvik and that didn't work. I've left my phone sitting for a while still with no luck. Any suggestions? I wanna try everything before I try resetting my phone.

first try to let your phone sit for minutes without battery
if not, reflash your rom, or push kernel to your sd card and flash it

I reflashed my rom (flash+wipe cache+dalvik) and still nothing, so I'm gonna try and reflash AK Kernel and see what happens.
And flashing the kernel did nothing. I'm gonna wait and see if any more suggestions come up. If not I'll do a full wipe and either flash a new rom or PitchBlack 2.1.

Did you try going back to the stock rom (with stock kernel)? My friend had a similar problem and it helped
Later he flashed his custom ROM again and everything worked fine.
EDIT: Sorry, didn't see that you want to try everything before you reset the phone.

I don't know... I'm waiting for my GNEX to come next weekend, so I don't have much experience with the device, but I had an HTC One X.. On the HOX I had a problem too, and I flashed the stock rom again and again untill it was solved
If this doesn't help and you are already on the stock rom, you could lock your bootloader and send the GNEX back under warranty..?

I'm not under warranty, I wiped everything and flashed again, it works. I'll keep it on for a while and reboot it later. If the problem persists I'll flash back to stock.

[Q] bootloop on stock bootloader

it loops the roms logo. i think it was a bad flash so the rom won't boot.
i am on the stock bootloader and have no idea how to get into recovery. when i plug the device into the computer it doesn't recognize it. do i need a factory cable or is there a fix for this? =(

Yes, you need a factory cable to get into fastboot so you can wipe data, or access custom recovery so you can reflash your ROM.

Just remember to always factory reset before flashing your ROMs.

Gnex constant reboot

Today my Gnex randomly rebooted, then got stuck rebooting. it now starts gets all the way to the home screen then reboots, then the cycle starts over. I am rooted runny shiney rom. nothing new installed recently and as stated before the phone was running normal the rebooted out of the the blue.
I have cleared cache, davik and done factory wipe, all to no avail.
the text on bottom of my bootloader reads:
Product name-tuna
variant- toro 32gb
hw version-10
bootloader version primemd04
baseband version-i515.fk02 cdma-unknown
carrier info-none
i cant flash the factory image because the phone doesn't stay powered on long enough to stay connected to the computer. apparently when i re flashed and root i forgot to make a back up so i can not restore that way either.
You could try pulling battery put back in and hold volume buttons and power to get into fastboot mode and flash factory image. Maybe you already tried this but maybe not so thought I'd throw my thoughts your way.

I Have the correct drivers, and have used fast boot before. i think i get the error because when i factory reset it, that turns off the debugging mode.

Debugging mode is only important when you are trying to use adb while booted into Android. In the bootloader, debugging being on or off doesn't matter. It also doesn't matter in recovery either.
Something is wrong somewhere, drivers are usually the best place to start as it is probably the most common reason why the device doesn't communicate with fastboot. Other things to try are different USB cables and USB ports.

Well looks like you know what your doing so looks like you have a major issue beyond my skill level. Sorry i couldn't help. Never tried it but Odin may be a thought. If you can get into recovery you could side load using adb also.

Have you tried the flash-all it seems to do some formatting that may help but I think it does that later after the radios. Warning it will wipe your phone including sdcard.

Have you tried connecting it into download mode, and then flash an odin image through odin? with that method you wont need to actually put the image onto the device but rather odin just copies it over for you while flashing the phone at the same time.
Same issue
My phone started randomly rebooting, and wont stop, it can't get past the lock screen without crashing on me. However i went into recovery, wiped everything, and flashed back to the stock rom ( i was running the shiny 4.3 rom) and the issue is still persistng, anyone know what can be done, or is something possibly wrong with the hardware?

You found this thread but didn't read it? Seriously? This isn't 1000+ pages.... As suggested: use fastboot to flash the Factory image with the flash-all.bat.

I was also running shiney 4.3. I had to get a new phone because nothing I tried helped. I'm no expert but it seems to me that the CDMA radio is toast in mine/
