Hi everyone,
My M9 decided to die on me in the worst possible moment (traveling abroad).
-It is rooted and is S-OFF.
-Can't enter Download mode - boot-loop
-Can't enter Recovery mode - boot-loop
Only bootloader works.
The issue started a few days back when the phone app started crashing on launching. So I cleared cache and dalvik through TWRP and it got stuck in a bootloop. Thankfully I have downloaded the latest ICE rom and had it in memory so I simply flashed it. Everything seemed well until today. Suddenly, while I was on a whatsapp call it rebooted and went into a bootloop. I wanted to reflash it but I can't get into recovery nor into download mode!
Is there anything that I can do at this moment? It is still under warranty but it clearly states that the software status is modified (in bootloader).
Thank you so much for any assistance on this matter.

Hello to all
I have Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4.2.1 stock and unlocked.
It worked perfectly to two years! From yesterday i have problem with it! My GN won't boot anymore, I can see just google and X (nexus) logo after that GN restart itself! This is repeated without stopping until I put out battery.
I have tried to clear cache, wipe data/factory reset in Recovery Mode but problem has continued!
I have unlocked bootloader and update to android 4.3 stock (non rooted) through ADB (google SDK), updated successfully but when phone has reboot problem has continued, GN restart non-stop!
In Fastboot mode/Recovery Mode phone it never restarted! I have left in this mode with hours to try if restarted but no It works without any problems in this mode! It restart only when phone boot up!
Can this problem to be hardware failure or not?!
Can anyone help me? What can i do to boot my GN again?
I hope in your your support

Don't panic, this problem is called bootloop and it's normal. Just download factory images from here and flash them by using this awesome guide by efrant!!
Also bookmark this link for future reference.

started having the same problem yesterday after 6 months of stability on a custom 4.3 rom.
oem lock then unlock to format, nothing, tried various methods of flashing back to stock via ADB with mixed results, normally more boot looping with it occasionally booting into a rom for ~5 seconds. so SOMETHING is working.
I tried Efrant's method about an hour ago, but its been sitting at the google logo since, I'm at a lost, I'm no stranger to boot loops when installing borked roms but this is the strangest problem I have ever had with an android device.
should I just chock it up to hardware failure?
Mostly yours USERDATA partition is corrupted.
Use FASTBOOT to reflash the USERDATA IMG and it should do the trick.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
did a total stock reflash again, got to the setup screen before it rebooted after ~15 seconds, bootlooping again. flashed the userdata img with a few different ones.
I'm trying to read my logcat but when I run the ADB command in clockwork It finds nothing.
I've done all steps by this awesome guide by efrant! But same problem here
I've tried to install 4.2.2 stock, 4.3 stock, all comands works but in the end when i press fastboot reboot my nexus it's in bootloop again restart restart and restart
Any other solutions :crying::crying::crying:
I've waited about 30 minutes after restarting non-stop, my GN boot to system i saw home screen of android but after 5 sec restarted again :crying:
I'm getting into my system once every 10 or so reboots. managed to turn off wifi in case that was the problem but still boot looping. I'm inclined to think it might be hardware related as I started having trouble in the middle of a text after several months of rom stability.
Hi,
yesterday, my phone started randomly freezing for about 10sec, and would then reboot. This happened every few minutes. I let it off, plugged in, all night, and today this was still happening.
I was running the latest PureNexus. I decided to try to clean flash, but couldn't access twrp ( After selecting recovery from the bootloader, the phone would just freeze and reboot ). I then flashed the latest android M factory image via fastboot. The flash went smoothly, but the phone still wouldn't boot ( same issue ). I can't reliably access the recovery ( the stock one ), as the phone reboots when it gets to the android icon with the warning sign ( even though sometimes I can get to the recovery, but can't select anything in the list, as it freezes and reboots ).
I'm running out of ideas, and would like to know if there's anything I can try before contacting LG?
Thanks !
Hey, i think you need to ask lg to replace your phone
Same issues in this thread
Hello,
I have been trying to fix my phone all day, searching various forums online, but I haven't been able to find anything.
I rooted my phone about 10 months ago, I just installed CWM and the rootkit. No custom ROM or Kernel. I used very popular apps such as Greenify and a few others. I didn't touch anything else or do anything fancy.
When I woke up this morning, I grabbed my phone to check the time, opened Chrome for some browsing and suddenly my screen froze. I thought it was just going to freeze for a few seconds but it ended up crashing entirely and I couldn't reboot at all.
I tried plugging it into my computer but it wasn't recognized at all. The Samsung USB Drivers didn't work and Odin didn't recognize it either. I couldn't boot into Recovery or Download mode anyway.
After searching for hours, I found this : ht tp:/ /w w w.droidsavvy. co m/unbrick-qualcomm-mobiles/
I followed all the steps but ended up getting stuck with some error during the QFIL processus. I was about to give up when suddenly my phone started vibrating, and the "Battery charging" logo appeared (it's now fully charged).
I could access download mode, so I tried installing USB drivers again and somehow my phone was finally recognized by Odin. I reinstalled CWM 6.0.5.1 and was able to enter recovery mode. I also flashed a stock ROM with Odin.
Using ABP, I was able to backup all my photos. After backing up everything, I wiped the cache and started a factory reset through CWM. But then, my phone crashed and got stuck in the bootloop again. I tried to wipe the dalvik cache but it crashed as well. I tried to install the rootkit again (why the hell not) but it crashed too. Each time it crashed at "Disabling OTA survival"
I tried factory reseting through ADB but it doesn't work either.
I looked at many different solutions to fix it, but none of them worked :/
To sum it up (TLDR):
- Phone stuck in bootloop
- Phone is recognized by my PC (Odin, ADB)
- Can access both recovery and download mode
- Flashing new ROM didn't do anything
- Can't wipe dalvik cache or do factory reset
My Nexus 5x that was running 8.1 just randomly turned off yesterday and won't boot into android. Sometime later i tried to turn it back on and it worked and it turned off by itself 2 mins later. i somehow manged it to get into fastboot mode and I then unlocked the bootloader and flashed the stock firmware . But that did not help at all , in fact the phone was now completely dead and it only goes into fastboot sometimes while the other times it being stuck in a bootloop . while luckily when it went into fastboot, i have tried installing different boot images like boot4core but it still wont do anything its really weird,sometimes it doesn't respond to any key combination while sometimes it would go normally into fastboot. Need help , i Have no clue!! plzzz
Same Problem here! Running 8.1 and tap Uppdate Chrome and Alexa App, that the Phone freez and Reboot. After reboot he try to load the apps but freez. Now it wont boot to system and recovery say no command. When i now will enter Recovery the Phone reboots.
No open bootloader and no root. Stock 8.1 Rom from Google
Edit: Try to start Phone in Secure Mode (When Google Logo Popps up press Volume -) Say the System is Corrupt and do a Factory Reset. After Reset the Phone stuck on Boot too
Edit Edit: OK think thats the CPU Hardware Bug. Phone dont start anymore...

My daughters phone just started doing the same thing this morning. Haven't gone through any tests yet, but it is constantly restarting. Can't get it to go into recovery through normal means.
My Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 LTE (SM-T525 aka picassolte) is a kind of bricked -
only download mode is still working.
In short, this is what happened:
First the device crashed and went into a boot loop.
I started in recovery mode and saw that the data partition could not be mounted.
At the next start even recovery mode did not work.
Only the TWRP logo appeared, then the device shutted down.
With Odin and download mode I re-flashed TWRP,
and as this didn't help, I flashed stock ROM.
Odin each time reported successful flash,
but problems on the device persist.
I could imagine that the partitions on the internal memory
need to be reformatted, but I don't know of any way
how to do that from download mode.
Any help for getting my device working again is appreciated.
Regards,
Gene
Update:
After doing even more research on the net, I found a stock ROM based four part recovery firmware. Flashing that I got the device at least working again in normal mode. ) Let's see if now TWRP and Custom ROM can be installed again.
