Background:
1. Was on the latest Resurrection Remix. Made a Backup with TWRP.
2. Went back to stock [MTC20F] using this.
3. Updated to 7.0 using this threads 7.0 OTA.
4. Made a Backup in TWRP.
I restored the backup from point 1, but now my phone won't boot anymore.
It shows the boot animation for about 1 second. Goes black and reboots.
I tried restoring to 6.0.1 using the method in point 2 -> same problem.
Tried restoring to 7.0.0 using the same method -> same problem.
After that, I tried restoring from both of my TWRP backups. Neither of them get any further.
So, no matter what I do I cant get past the first second of the boot animation.
I'm out of ideas, any help is greatly appreciated!

Did you boot into recovery and do a factory reset in there. Sometimes that works.

Yep, every time I try to restore something I wipe everything. Also tried to lock and unlock the bootloader. No Luck.
Also tried wipe and erasing every partition possible, flashing an older 6.0.1 build.
Am I SOL? I tried anything google would give me....
Hey, I'm currently in the very same situation. Was on 6.0.1 stock rooted, applied 7.0 OTA using the beta program. Then for various reasons wanted to roll back to where I was with 6.0.1, but now the device just constantly reboots. I have wiped everything I can, tried to flash the factory images multiple times, but nothing seems to do the trick.
same problem here
i was on rooted android n preview 5 with twrp recovery and root, i applied 7.0 ota and then it bricked
now it starts up till bootscreen with the 4 coloured dots it freezes and goes in a bootloop but fastboot and recovery working fine
flashed a factory image wiped everything tried diffrent things restored a twrp backup but nothing
now im going to try to flash 7.0 ota again
Also in the same situation :crying:. Gets to the boot animation for 1 second then freezes and restarts.
Updated to 7.0 and got stuck in a bootloop.
Then tried restoring my TWRP backup to no avail.
Then tried flashing 6.0.1 factory image and still no luck.
Done factory resets, wiped system, data partitions etc, and still same problem.
If anyone has any other ideas that would be greatly appreciated!
this is what i tried so far
-wiped and restored 3 diffrent backups
-full wipe and flashed diffrent roms
-flashed factory image 6.0 and 6.0.1
-flashed 7.0 ota zip in twrp (extracted and flashed system.img and vendor.img )
-flashed factory image and used stock recovery to flash 7.0 ota.zip trough ADB sideload
i think im going to relock the bootloader and just send it back to google for a repair
I'm on the same situation
32 hours after updating to final 7.0 from stock dp5 the device turned off and stuck on boot animation
it seems like google did something wrong...
Looks like some people with the 6P are having the same issue as well. Still no fix either.

I've had the same problem. I was coming from from a Pure Nexus install and thought i'd have a look at 7 so I made a full backup in TWRP then installed the lastest TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-1-bullhead). Then did a full wipe all bar internal storage and flashed radio/bootloader zip and Stock+ rom from the tupac4u thread which worked fine. Upon deciding there were a few dealbreakers for me I decided to go back to PN. So I booted back into TWRP, wiped again and restored the previously made backup. that's when I was getting the boot to 4 dots and reboot bootloop. I tried everything flashing various MM roms, and flashing 7 again, different roms / vendor images / full wipes including int storage, all via TWRP and ADB to no avail.
Though this evening I decided to go to an even earlier version of TWRP (twrp-3.0.0-1-bullhead) and try everything again. I flashed that and tried the repair filesystem on all the partitons I could, one of them gave an error I can't remember what it was. After doing that I did a full wipe and restored my PN backup, everything ticked. I then rebooted with everything crossed and it worked, it booted without any problems! (apart from the fact i'd forgot to remove the pin security before backing up so had to reflash anyway! which also worked). I can't be sure which part of that fixed it but if it helps anyone else that's great!
People with this problem - Does flashing new Factory Image 7.0.0 (NRD90M) fix something?
Just curious.

Nope, changed nothing in my case at least. At this point I'm just going to use the warranty card to get out of this mess, as nothing seems to revive the device.

Type fastboot -w flash falsh vendor vendor.img then restore from your twrp backups
neaznc021 said:
OMG I finally got mine to work
I'll note down the exact steps , most of which may or may not be relevant
1) Flashed MTC20F using TWRP 3.0.2-1
2) Booted into recovery and wiped everything and the partitions
- Add - Booted back into twrp 3.0.2-1 and then swiped to allow modifications
3) Then fastboot flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0
4) Restored my backup ( except recovery)
5) Still got stuck in the google screen.
Now the next parts are a bit weird
6) Booted into TWRP, flashed vendor.img from pure nexus rom
7) wiped everything except internal storage
8) Flashed vendor.img, pure nexus rom and gapps and then flashed vendor.img again
9) Rebooted and it worked
Let me know if it worked for you guys or if you need any more help

Did that yesterday (With my N6P), will see what will come out of it. (Service guys said, that ''Oh, it's nothing serious, tomorrow (today) you will get your phone back (hopefully in working condition)''. I'm not so sure about that
(EDIT: Before I took my phone to warranty service, I flashed latest MM factory image and locked bootloader, maybe it was unnecessary, but I wanted to be sure, that phone looks fresh, maybe it was a big mistake.)
I had the same Bootloop issue, and it's all because of TWRP 3.0.2-1 !!! I have just reverted back to TWRP 3.0.2-0, and my backup restored just fine. There's no point for all that flashing. Just revert the TWRP.
Oh my... Guess what? My backup is corrupted...
Edit: maybe this can help, before bricking with full factory image, I flashed bootloader, radio, boot, vendor, system, Elementalx and supersu, wiped data and booted and work.
But I had problems with suspersu installed as systemless (it didn't work), so I flashed factory image. And bootlooped.
So, I'd say that what's causing issue is userdata, recovery or cache.

Hey guys,
Got a very weird problem here. I have previously flashed a CM10 nightly to my One X (international) and everything has been fine for around 3 weeks. Decided i wanted to try our the ViperX ROM. Previously upon flashing this ROM it just bootlooped but after another try with a slightly different method, i managed to get it to boot and all was merry. After titanium restore i rebooted, and this once again put me into a bootloop. Cannot get the ROM to boot. Why is this!!! Switched back to CM10. :good:
You need to do
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Still doesnt boot man, im sure i flashed the boot image properly. This is the rundown of my flash process:
1: install from sd
2: in recovery, factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache
3: Boot into fastboot and flash the boot.img
4: Reboot.
So it booted but into viper X, but after restoring with Titanium i was unable to get it to boot again.
I also tried "fastboot erase cache" to no avail
In fastboot type fastboot erase cache

Did you restore system apps or data?
Where does it stop booting, what is on the screen?
With tb, make sure you restore user apps only, none of the system apps.

Sorry forgot to mention I also used the "fast book erase cache" command.
As for titanium I restored all user apps and data and now that you mention it that could be the problem. I'll have another crack tomorrow and let you know.
Main reason I want to switch is I need much better battery life than CM10 but only temporarily. Can anyone recommend viperx as being a significant improvement?

It comes up with "HTC" vibrates then the viper crawls across the screen and it stops at the "htcONE" logo.
Restored apps and app data and guess what. Still doesn't boot. WHY! Going to just try apps, no data at ALL. Will report back.
I dunno why it won't start, double check you have the right boot.img (download it again and flash it again), in recovery erase cache and dalvik cache.
same issue
Hi i am also getting the same problem, i used the viper rom and others but it goes past the HTC logo looks as though it works but the lock ring is froze up and then it reboots itself over and over doing the same thing each time. Ive tried One_X_All-In-One_Kit_v1.2 and the manual CMD fastboot tutorial i dont know what to do to fix this, can anyone help me please?
EDIT* I seem to have it working now (fingers crossed), i used 'Nocturnal_Special_Edition_4.0_Odex' so thx to their good work that i now have a working rom for my phone phew
EDIT 20 MIN LAter* OK looks like i did something i shouldnt, it seemed to work, i made a change in the settings and then it rebooted and continued to reboot over and over so i tried installing a rom again and now it just stays at the htc quietly brilliant screen, what have i done this phone is now not so brilliant as its looking more and more that ive goosed it Any help apreciated.

Hello,
I have 1x (CID 203) unlocked and rooted with cwm recovery. I had Cyanogenmod 10 nighly on it, well in hope of no bugs like in CM10 I flashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763240 to it. Well it seemed to work a moment but then the device started rebooting randomly. I couldn't boot to recovery (strange?), the recovery screen flashed less than a second and the phone started to boot normally again. After a few tries (and reflashing recovery) I luckily got into the recovery. Tried to restore a nandroid backup which I made earlier yesterday. CWM said that the restore was successful but the device didnt boot anymore. Only shows htc logo and cyanogenmod loading screen. But nothing happens. Well, then I flashed Android Revolution HD 10.3. (with wiping the system data and so on) but it wont load any longer than the htc one logo screen. Rom installed fine and I flashed the boot.img.
Now I'm able to get into recovery and fastboot and charge my phone but how could I safely and surely return my phone to stock or make the ARHD work without completely bricking it? I'm thinking that relocking my device is not very safe if the RUU fails to install. What do you think? Can the firmware updates cause this problem to happen? Can I flash ARHD 9.7.2 to my device? Too bad I can't ask these questions in the ARHD thread....
In bootloader my phone says
Code:
hboot-0.94.0000
radio 1.1204.104.14
Any advice is highly appreciated, I'm not ready to bury my phone yet
Edit. ARHD 9.7.2 flashed correctly. Any ideas why the ARHD 10.3 keeps bootlooping? Yes, I have flashed the correct boot.imgs.

If I restore apps only it does boot however any sort of data and it refuses to. Very annoying as I am not able to retain texts accounts etc. I have a feeling it's because I originally backed up on a jellybean ROM and the data just doesn't want to work on ics

Try the fast boot erase cache command and see if that solves the boot issue. If not make sure in recovery your have cleared cache partition performed a factory reset and also cleared the dalvik cache. Again if none of these work try re flashing the boot.img or perhaps try another rom that is known to be stable.
Hey guys, Ive had an issue that I just cant seem to fix.
A friend of mine has an LG GPad 8.3 like mine, and it has TWRP custom recovery with one of the new 4.4.2 w/root flashable firmware US version. He made the mistake of going into Backup and Reset in the settings menu in the OS and selected Restore Device to factory settings, and now Its locked into a permanent TWRP boot loop. I've tried everything I know including flashing numerous other ROMs, formatting virtually everything you can format in TWRP. Even after a new rom is successfully flashed, and you factory reset and everything else, upon reboot it will only go back to TWRP again. Over and over. Is there any way you guys can think of that can stop it from going into recovery and click into the proper boot sequence again? Cheers

Reset FOTA? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639822
Every time I take a nandroid backup in TWRP and boot the phone up, I seem to get boot loops.
Yesterday
------------------
I was running HTC's factory 4.4.2 firmware that came with my phone when I bought it. It was rooted and I was using XPosed. I wanted to upgrade to 4.4.3 via OTA, but I wanted a roll-back method. So I took a nandroid, all is well.
I flash stock recovery and take the OTA. All is well. I re-root, install xposed, tinker with some modules and then the phone reboots itself.
I did the upgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 again after restoring my nandroid backup. All is well. I decide not to tamper with root stuff, but the su binary has been flashed. I restored a majority of my apps and app data by using titanium backup to load application data from my TWRP backup. Everything is STILL fine.
Today
------------------
My TWRP backup of 4.4.2 was at work so I had to wait until I got back to move the backup back onto my phone. So here I am. I decide to do the following:
1. I shut my perfectly working 4.4.3 ROM down so I can take a nandroid before I load the 4.4.2 nandroid and try another fresh update
2. I make the nandroid backup and boot the OS back up so I can copy the TWRP folder over to my computer
3. Phone boot loops again.
What is causing this? I've tried a bunch of things like fixing permissions from TWRP, clearing the dalvik and cache. I tried sending "adb logcat" to a file on my computer to examine the output but nothing sticks out before it reboots.
Only fix I know is to factory reset and start the long process all over again.

Have you tried fastboot erase cache, and flash TWRP again?
No I have not. Once I try that, what point will I be at? Will I be able to boot into my OS or will I need to restore my backup again?
What does fastboot erase cache do? Is it the same cache I can clear from TWRP?
One thing I just remembered... I'm using TWRP 2.7.1.0, where prior to upgrading I was using TWRP 2.7.0.2 from Hasoon2000's toolkit. Not sure if this matters or not yet.

The point is to re-install TWRP. As I don't have issues with the phone rebooting after doing a nandroid, I'm just guessing that maybe its just a bad TWRP install.
For that matter, try to download the TWRP file again, to make sure the file isn't corrupt.
You won't be able to boot into the OS just from what I suggested, you will still need to restore the nandroid.
erase cache is suggested as sometimes folks have trouble re-installing TWRP, and erase cache will often solve this. I always install TWRP by fastboot, so fastboot erase cache just takes 2 more seconds, which is time well spent to reduce headaches.

OK well I reverted back to my nandroid I created with my previous version of TWRP, and did the OTA again. Have not bothered to root or create further nandroids. So far everything is great. Just wish I could create a nandroid without the thing going crazy on me.

I haven't had this happen to me. Only issue with TWRP for me so far on this device, is a backup failed to restore on an earlier TWRP version (so I had to flash a ROM and setup again) and I haven't had this issue on more recent TWRP versions.
Again, I'd suggest downloading TWRP again, and doing a fresh install of it and see if the problem persists. Or try CWM.

I instead flashed TWRP from Hasoon2000's HTC M8 All In One Kit, which is what I previously had and created my 4.4.2 nandroid with. Every time after that I was using the latest version from TWRP's website. I suspect that is the culprit, but I have no evidence yet as I have not created a nandroid again. I'm currently on 4.4.3 with SuperSU.zip flashed. No problems yet.

Hey guys,
So last night I accidentally wiped internal storage in TWRP. I guess that messed up my partitions or something, I don't know. Anyway, I can still access recovery, and I've tried to do a restore (one that I made back when I was on stock 4.4.2 I think) but after that it tries to boot, gets to "Android is upgrading... Optimizing app Y of X." and once that operation completes it shows the lockscreen for about a tenth of a second, and the phone reboots.
I'm stumped. Anyone know what can I do?
Sorry if this has been asked a hundred times. For some reason the search function in the forums isn't working for me. And I've been looking for a solution all morning.
EDIT: FYI when I tried the restore I did only System and Data and not Boot, because I was afraid that'd cause more problems.
Did you try restoring and performing a factory wipe before booting the newly-restored ROM?
It seems that Marshmallow based roms aren't working, but Lollipop ones will boot. Not sure why as I didn't have any problem with the same MM roms in the past.
More info:
MM roms wont flash in TWRP; after the failed attempt, TWRP says system cannot be mounted until I either wipe or install a 12.1 rom.
Tried to install a stock rom (4.4.2) and it failed in TWRP. Just says "Error Flashing"
Are you performing a full wipe (system, Dalvik, cache, data) before installing or restoring a ROM? Is the phone running the latest version of TWRP?

Yes to full wipe. TWRP is 2.8.7.0, so yeah I think it's the newest? Not 100% sure.
Wiping internal storage should not affect the partitions. I'm not sure that TWRP even has the ability to change partitions.
Yes, 2.8.7.0 is the latester version of TWRP.
If you are on the nj2 bootloader, try flashing this in TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/general/rooted-ucufnj1-stock-rom-t2985006
Welp, seems to be all good now. Not sure if I really did anything to fix it or not. I tried to install a stock ROM but it wouldn't boot (stuck on Samsung logo) but after that my CM13 ROM installed properly again. The one CM13 ROM I have still wont install at all - maybe that file became corrupt or something? Not sure if that's even possible.
Either way I'm all fixed up. Thanks for all your help.
Cheers
Glad you got it sorted out. If you do figure out what you did to get it working, post your answer as it may help others that are in a similar situation.
Dear All,
I have a strange problem.
I was with open beta 8, unlocked bootloader with twrp 3.0.2-28.
By distraction, I accepted the update proposed by OTA (even if I known that it is impossible to update via ota, in my conditions). So it just restarted to twrp.
So I downloaded the full ROM, i pushed it through adb to the op3, and I flashed the full ROM. I got no error after flashing.
BUT, the big problem is that the phone just restart to TWRP. It neither try to boot the system. Every time i restert, It goes to TWRP.
I already tried to wipe again dalvik, cache, data and system, then flash rom again, But it just go to TWRP.
What happened? What can I do? I tried everything :crying:
The big worst coincidence is that I deleted from the PC the TWRP backup, while I usually keep at least 1-2 of them...... and I have never needed in the past. OMG
It's look a joke.
EDIT: I found an OLD backup in my old hardisk. It was of the stock oxygen. So, I restored everything, because I couldn't solve the problem.
I changed to f2fs and i flashed the new open beta 9.
Everything is ok.
