A few days ago, I was using my HTC 10 when it restarted and began bootlooping. After it looped probably 30+ times, it finally turned on and worked fine... for a bit. It has repeated this process multiple times through the past few days. It is completely stock. Any advice? I have a working ADB and fastboot setup, but that is all. (Note: I can not return the phone as I bought it used)

When I attempt a factory reset, I get the gray HTC logo for about 5 seconds then it reboots.

That doesn't sound good.
I would flash RUU.
If u cannot factory reset it from the bootloader screen, u can do it from the backup and reset tab in the settings when it powers on.

Hey guys I have a weird problem. When i turn on the phone, it reboots itself after several second. When i take a photo or make a backup with titanium backup at that time, all data goes away after a reboot. I tried doing a factory reset and i tried to format all the data partition and it is no good. I am really frustrated because i cannot use my phone for more than a week and i cannot afford a new phone right now. Hope you guys can help me.

First try to flash stock via fastboot. If that fails try to lock your bootloader with fastboot with this command: fastboot oem lock. If it has no effect your emmc is fried..

I waited a little bit longer and everything went well. I rebooted and the phone booted into my old custom rom with all my apps installed. I even got the same sms from 10days ago again like it is the first time. I played with it a little bit and it made a popping sound with instant bright screen and rebooted itself again. I think this is definitely a hardware issue what are your opinions?

Use the flash-all.bat.. If that doesn't work execute this command: fastboot oem lock. If your bootloader isn't locked your emmc is fried.

I tried flash-all.bat and it didn't worked. Then I tried to lock the bootloader. It was a success, I even tried to unlock it and it said are you sure bla bla bla. I clicked no and rebooted and it booted to my same old friggin ROM!! I rebooted into the fastboot and it says unlocked again. I think that my phones emmc chip locked itself in a particular state and it doesnt allow any changes to be made on it. What should I do next? Is emmc repairable or should i start to searching for a new phone?

I have the exact same issue.
The phone shut itself down at some random point - if it is being charged or on a laptop it seems to be a bit more stable.
When it reboots, it goes into the status from the day it first happened. It asks to update apps again and even though they are updated, the next time the phone starts, it happens all over. If I delete an app, it will be there again after reboot/relaunch.
All the settings remain the same.
My phone is currently unlocked but not rooted and runs stock 4.3. I tried to flash stock 4.3 again and even 4.2 - later I tried Cyanogen. I use CWM to format /data, /system, /sdcard, deleted cache and devlink cache multiple times.
Each time it boot, it remains the same background, settings, and so on....
Bumping it up - really hope that someone has an idea what I could try to fix this...

I gave it to warranty and they said the eMMC chip is broken. They are going to fix it soon. But I already got myself an LG g2 so it does not matter anymore lol. Try the warranty and good luck.

It's dollar equivalent is about 50$. Normally they didn't accept my phone to warranty but I know a guy, who knows a guy who knows another guy that works in Samsung Turkey so I got that worked out:laugh:
Hello all, so yesterday I went on my tablet (Nexus 7 2013 WIFI ver.) and browsed the net a bit and went to sleep. I recall having around 30% battery power. This morning I wake up to an apparently flat battery (power button didn't turn on anything) so I just plugged it in and did something else. After a while, I took my tablet and started it with the power button. However, it got stuck on the Google logo and never fired up anything. I've rooted the tablet quite some time ago (months) so the cause is not from there.
Things I haven't recently done:
Installing an app.
Rooting or flashing anything.
Updating an app.
Things I have tried doing to fix the problem:
Booting into FASTBOOT then trying the recovery mode = still stuck on the Google logo.
Booting a custom recovery image using Wug's toolkit = frozen at the team logo (TWRP) / black screen (CWM).
Flash Stock + Unroot (Soft-Bricked/Bootloop) = FAILED (flash write failure).
So now I'm really stuck and desperate to make the device work again. I've been reading all day long and trying all sorts of solutions to no avail. And it seems far-fetched to me for a device like this to just instantly brick itself without any reason at all.
Can anyone help me with this case ? Or does anyone has any idea what just happened to my tablet ? :crying:
EDIT: I'm afraid that warranty might not work as the device was unlocked and rooted so it's the last solution for me.
Bumpity bump
No one has any idea what happened to the tablet and how to fix it ? I've tried doing some more flashing but to no avail. It just refuses to flash and keeps failing to write the files.
I think you need to leave out on the charger for 1/2hr without doing anything with it. You are probably using what little power it has charged by trying to reboot it, etc.
I had to do that once and it did the trick.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
There is no reason you should not be able to get in to recovery (power and volume down).
You could call Motorola. They have good tech support.
The exact same thing happened to me. I rooted it months ago and haven't changed a thing since then. It just froze up a few days ago. I restarted and it just gets stuck on the google screen. I can get into the bootloader, but when I try to go to recovery, the google screen comes up and won't go away. I've tried every method I can find for flashing the stock image and absolutely nothing is working. I just get stuck on the google screen.
Please update this if you find a solution!
Do u guys have the most up to date version of whatever particular recovery that you're on?
Yep. I've flashed the stock recovery multiple times to no avail. :/

If you can't get into recovery or flash any images it sounds to me like a hardware failure. Bad memory maybe? If you've tried everything then RMA to Asus before the one year warranty runs out.
Have you tried to see if your computer sees your N7 by typing fastboot devices if you have the sdk installed?

Yes, I can get into the bootloader just fine and I can use fastboot. I go through the flashing process and the command prompt says everything flashed successfully, but when I restart the device, it hangs on the google logo. The same thing happens when I try to boot into recovery.

If you fastboot flashed the factory image and can't boot up then it sounds like a hardware problem. Out of ideas, sorry.

Hey, i flashed CM11 about half a year ago. The last Saturday (20/12), it started to go in an infinite loop. First it could boot in apps, but then it crashes all the time. So What I 've tried:
Reset factory data/davlik/cache
Flashing another rom via Recovery
Bring back to stock via bootloader (cmd+fastboot)
Downloading mode (ODIN)
OmapFlash
Nothing made even a little change to my phone. It boots in the same OS, and it crashes all the time. It's like its in a readonly mode. It's like it has the program for PC Deep Freeze, that restores your phone to its first condition in every simple reboot. Can you help me plz?

If the images appear to flash properly in fastboot, but you are still on the same ROM, then I would suspect your NAND is toast.

Yes, it's your devices internal flash memory. It looks like there is something wrong with it. (Others have had similar issues in the past.) So, yes, it looks like it's a hardware issue and there's nothing you can do yourself to fix it.

Ok mate. thank you so much. have a nice happy new year for you and your beloved ones. Plz reply me to my pm.
I was using my phone like I usually do, and then it suddenly froze. So I held down the power button, forcing it to restart. Ever since, the screen only shows "Google" for a while, then becomes blank; no booting animation. It would restart itself occasionally.
I tried booting into recovery mode by holding Power+VolDown, and selecting "recovery mode". For the first few tries, it would go back to the Google screen, the turn blank. After giving it a break and trying again, I finally got to the "no command" screen, and I wiped the cache partition. Sadly, I'm still having the same problem.
Is this a bootloop? How can I fix this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This happened to me and Google sent a replacement phone. However the replacement phone is a refurbished phone that suffers from ghost touches Now trying to get a replacement for the replacement.

The bootloader allows the phone to be unlocked to flash custom ROMs on it, without it unlocked you'll brick your phone. Read up about rooting your phone first so you can get the idea of what goes into it before attempting it. Once you get the general idea of unlocking the phone and flashing things on it, it becomes relatively easy. There's even a nexus root toolkit on this forum that you can download on your computer for free as well as "how-to's" for doing it

No is not necessary, but in order to re flash the factory image to fix the problem the bootloader must be unlocked. You never have to root your device but having a unlocked bootloader is essential to flashing anything on your device other wise like I said, you'll brick your phone. You can even lock it back to full stock once you've re flashed the image.
Edit: there's another way of flashing the factory image but it requires some searching. You might not be able to do it the way I'm explaining to you Because you would have to give it permission to be unlocked in the developers option while the phone is booted up and operative

When u first bought your phone and it takes you through the set up window, when it asked you to put in your email, that right there backs up all your apps that you previously had in the phone so when you go through the setup again, it's going to ask you if you want to start as a new phone or recover your previous apps. You won't be able to recover all of your data but you should be able to recover all of your apps.
