Hi,
I've attempted the JB update
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737899..
fastboot flash boot boot.img etc.. which said all was well..
But now find that my phone will not boot up, doesn't get past the Google and unlock screen.
I've tried all combinations of volume buttons, I can get to the fasboot menu where I can choose either Recovery Mode, Power Off, Start or Restart bootloader.
None of these appear to do anything, recovery goes to the google a screen followed by an Android on it's back with an exclamation mark over it.. then goes to the Google and unlocked icon screen and stays there...
I fear my phone is bricked... Please help..

1.) Your phone is far from bricked at all. You have access to the boot loader (i.e. the screen with the options). The recovery you're seeing is stock recovery. All you need to do is go into boot loader and fastboot flash recovername (CWM) and you will have your custom recovery back to wipe data and reinstall a rom or restore a nandroid backup
Mine is doing the same thing, weird thing is, it was working since yesterday on jellybean, it just randomly froze this morning and and now won't boot..
im currently at work so i don't have admin rights to do a fastboot flash..
any idea why it would randomly stop working when i havn't flashed anything on it besides the jb rom?
Sorted..
Thanks for the comments.. yeah i was over-reacting a bit there..
I downloaded the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit, got a stock rom form gopogle, flashed it.. back to normal, well, it will be after i restore the CWM backup i took.. phew..
Thanks again
Ian.
Still stuck
I'm also stuck in the same situation(google with the unlock screen). I fear I'm a little more stuck. I also can see the recovery/restartbootloader screen. However, everything I try still comes back to that same google screen and gets hung up. Need some help!
this has happened twice today and i think it from using volume+

Boot into recovery, wipe cache, Reboot
I cannot use the hardware buttons any longer to even get into fastboot mode. I tried to insert a new TWRP theme, named it ui.zip, place it in the theme folder, then rebooted the phone and now it will not even go into recovery, fastboot mode, nor turn on. Anybody have any suggestions on how to get through to the recovery. I guess I locked up the recovery, and can no longer boot my phone to even be able to delete that ui.zip file from the theme folder under TWRP.
OK, now I managed to get it into fastboot mode. But that is it.
Can I extract a file from the phone in fastboot mode?
Thanks,
chevy383surfing
Well, I finally figured it out. I'll add an explanation on this whole deal after I get off work. Just in case anybody else runs into the same problem, maybe my little routine will help someone else.

Next time you loop, vol up and power for 10 seconds with phone Unplugged, then vol down and power to go to boot loader
If for some reason it doesn't restart put the phone close to a bright light
Similar problem
Hi. I am on a Kindle Fire HD 7 and just got cynogeanmod 12. I was going through settings when device got laggy. And somehow the device thought I wanted factory reset so thats what it did. My Kindle Rebooted and now I get a screen that says "teamwin" and every 2 secs. the screen flashes. None of the tips using buttons worked. It can only turn on and off. I need assistance in finding a way to get this back to stock(from there I can re-root and do the process again to get back cynogeanmod).

First, this is the M8 forum, not the Kindle forum. However, I actually can help you with that.
Most stock recoveries seem to have a problem with doing factory resets. Flash the stock recovery for your device, let it perform the factory reset, boot back into the OS (to make sure it worked), then reflash your custom recovery.

Tank you for this quick reply :good: . I will try to get back into my stock recovery but if it is on my device, how will I access this on my computer and force flash it on my tablet. I only need help making the tablet responsive/workable. Once this is done I should be able to figure out the rest.

After an entirely random error saying my phone is somehow Encrypted, I went ahead and did a factory reset which didn't help. The phone was still booting into the same screen asking me for a code to Decrypt the data. So after some "quick" reading on these forums I've decided to RUU to stock. But the file I've chosen, even though it matched my version it was a Firmware, while the phone was S-ON. The device had never been Rooted or tampered with previously.
So now the phone does not boot at all. I've tried every button combination, but nothing seems to work. If I plug in the phone to charge the orange light flashes, endlessly. Even after I've left the device to charge for 6hours, the orange light still flashes.
When I plug in the phone to my PC, all I get it seems is this new device: QHSUSB_BULK, which shows with an exclamation mark next to it. I've read similar threads for different phones where they've unbricked devices while they were in this mode, is that even possible? I can hear Windows recognizing a device was plugged in, and if I press Power+VolumeUP, it will disconnect the phone and reconnect it, at least based on the sounds Windows is playing. The screen is Black at all times.
How badly have I bricked this device and is there any hope to revive it? Thanks to everyone who chimes in on this.

Most likely it's a soft break. So you can fix it. First of all get yourself a working usb cable. Your's maybe broken.
Your phone's data partition had been encrypted. It never boots up completely without lux password. You could've format the data partition with a custom recovery such as TWRP. Instead you tried the reflash firmware but obviously it didn't finish and failed. All you need is reflash again but doing it correct way so it can finish. Your old data is gone atm. You will have factory reset phone at the end. Before giving you any instructions, you need to answer a few questions so anyone can help.
Have you ever updated your phone to marshmallow which is android 6? If no: You can recover it with voidzero's wonderful answer titled back to stock. Follow that exactly. If yes you can't flash old versions since they are using different bootloaders. Also you will have to reflash it manually. It's long and difficult for anyone who is new. If you don't know if it was updated. Just boot into bootloader then Fastboot mode, connect usb. Then use htc's Fastboot. Run htc_fastboot getvar all command. Paste output here.
Thanks for replying, risyasin.
Yes, I did update to Android 6. The problem is I'm not able to boot into the bootloader using the Power+VolumeUP keys, or any other combination.
Instead of flashing the RUU, or maybe turning to S-OFF(I still don't know if this would've made a difference), I flashed a firmware, one that matched my version. This is the exact filename: 0PKVIM[email protected]60201_20.05_018_F_release_479349_combined_signed
I've renamed it to 0PKVIMG.zip and booted using the Power+VolumeUP keys. For whatever reason, everything went OK, no errors whatsoever. In the end it told me to press Power to reboot the phone. I've pressed Power and nothing happened since.
If anyone can help me figure this out, I'd be forever grateful.

That is a big problem. I assume you never tried to go S-OFF (which is dangereous). While phone was S-ON. You could always boot into bootloader. That's one of the purpose of staying S-ON.
Combination is Power + Volume down. But if your phone is up & somehow can not continue to boot. eg: stuck at reading system or kernel etc. You can do a hard reset which is pressing Volume up + volume down + power for at least 15 seconds. phone will shut down. then you can try bootlader combination. Make sure it's has power on with light at screen edges you must look at carefully. After trying this if you still can not see bootloader. That's a problem beyond my experiences, so I don't have any idea to fix it.
I have never tried the firmware you have used. Maybe that firmware is not usable, broken or even dangerous.
We need to confirm that here. if anyone else tried and brick their phone with that.
My XL is stuck in a boot loop that I haven't found described anywhere. It begins with the bootloader unlocked warning screen then goes to the white "Google" boot screen, but within one second the screen goes black, waits about 10 seconds and runs through that cycle again. It also randomly (it seems) does the "Writing to EX4 file" screen before the bootloader unlocked warning screen.
It will cycle through this sequence forever if it's plugged in but when not plugged in it will seemingly power off after a random number of cycles. However, powering on does not require holding down the power button - it jumps directly to the beginning of the cycle, sometimes at the bootloader unlocked screen and sometimes at the EX4 screen.
At no point does my Windows 10 PC show the phone as being attached when plugged in to USB. Also, no combination or duration of the phone's physical buttons affect this in any way.
I was following the steps in this article and had just performed the second-last line in the post, "Reboot into the installed recovery." That's when the cycle started. Prior to the step "In TWRP, install twrp.zip" everything was working correctly, though I hadn't rooted yet, of course. I didn't reboot normally in between those two steps, so I can't say which of them caused the problem.
I'm running Android Update, 7.1.2 N2G47E and had been before beginning the procedure. It came from the OTA update and had unrooted the phone from the previous version.
Any and all help will be rewarded with 137 Antique, Pre-Web Internet Points and The Thanks of a Grateful Nation™.
I would fastboot latest factory image.
Just hold vol- when a reboot comes it will go into bootloader.

Sounds like you were coming from the April 2017 update to the May 2017 OTA update. The May update included a new bootloader which performs additional verification on the boot image. I suspect that when you installed TWRP and rebooted, the May bootloader detects the changes TWRP installation made to your boot image and aborts the boot process resulting in your bootloop. Additional detail and information can be found in the linked thread and solution should be towards the end of the thread. You have a few options I think (assuming you can get into fastboot/recovery mode) - you can temporarily resolve by reverting back to the April 2017 bootloader which does not have the additional boot verification procedure or you can follow the steps to flash Chainfire's VerifiedBootSigner.zip if you prefer to get fully on the May update (including the May bootloader). Details are in the thread below. Good luck!

Just started with me today too.
I cannot get into recovery or boot loader
rebooting using the hard button just brings up this Dump to EXT4 and then into the ROM that is havnig a ish ton of force closes.
My plan is to back up some stuff I need to copy off the phone and then start factory reset from within settings.
EDIT:
I was rooted running stock
All i did was run a backup in TWRP
issues started after reooting.
Once i factory reset and re Root i will see if I can restore backup, maybe

I had forgotten that after I booted normally just before installing TWRP, the May OTA happened to arrive and I went ahead and installed it. Then the problem started after I installed TWRP. I used @mikaole's advice and got into bootloader (can't believe I hadn't done that, given all the button combinations I'd tried).
I re-flashed the April update and now the behavior is exactly the same except that the white Google boot screen lasts about 5 seconds and after a few boot tries I land on the "No command" screen. That sits for about a minute and boots again, landing again on "No command." Power+vol-up gets me to recovery mode but all I can do is go to bootloader or get back to "No command." I tried a factory reset, same result. I tried re-flashing April again, same result. Now I think I have the May bootloader with all else April.
I ran this:
Code:
fastboot set_active a
because I noticed that flashing the bootloader was always going to b. After flashing the bootloader again and seeing it go to a, the phone boots normally. I'm going to let the May update happen and wait to root again until after that.
One thing, I don't think the link you provided is the one you intended - there's none of the info you said would be there.
This has been very helpful. You and @mikaole got me through this. Thanks!

They flashing all the parts of the image manually. Something like this happened to a buddy of mine and using the flash all wouldn't fix. He couldn't get the device to boot until he did all the images manually.

Pixel bootloop
Hey guys, this is the only thread thqt i found here on XDA about pixel and pixel XL bootloop issue.
I'm about to buy a used Pixel 1st gen phone for really great deal, because it is in this bootloop. As the owner sad, it was on the Oreo upgrade. I'm wondering if its possible to fix it... What you guys say?

Well that depends. If the owner unlock the bootloader and then relocked it it could have screwed it up depending on what he was doing with it at the time resulting in a bootloop that cannot be fixed because it's hard brick now. I say can't be fixed only because the only way to get it fixed as far as I know is to contact someone here on the forums I'm not exactly sure who it is but they do fix hard bricked pixels for money. If I were you I would try and figure out if that's the case before buying it.

Yes, that's my biggest fear right now... He sad he never had done anything like root or custom rom, he just had done a system update and the phone never boot correctly again.
I have a little bit of knowledge in android, i was thinking if just putting a custom rom it wouldn't solve, because i had other devices that i had put in bootloop and i was able to fix it just putting a custom rom...

Yeah if you can get into recovery you can side load things. And if you can get to the boot loader screen you're fine.

Perfect! Just as I expected... Probably i will do an youtube guide if it works... Thanks bro!
Hoping for some help or alternatives to fix my fiancee's Pixel XL. Last night the phone just kept flashing the 'G' logo on for 10 seconds, off for 10 seconds. She said the phone was close to dying before it happened, and I imagine it probably ended up draining the battery afterwards with the constant bootloop. Plugged it in all night but the charging screen didn't come up and would just stay in the bootloop. I could get it into the boot loader (power button and volume down), but it wouldn't go into recovery mode and instead would go right back to the boot loop.
So I tried a battery pack to charge it and it still didn't show charging, but I was able to get it into recovery mode eventually, but still boot loop afterwards. At one point, after leaving it on boot loader menu while attempting to charge, it eventually just tried to start itself and made its way to the second Google splash screen after the main G logo. Looked like it froze there though and I couldn't get it to that point again.
On my way to work this morning I tried plugging it into my car's USB port after powering off from the boot loader, and this time I kept flashing that it was charging (looked like it was 3/4 charged but not sure how accurate that is). So I got into recovery again and tried 3 factory resets consecutively. Still bootloop after attempting a startup afterwards. There was a similar issue a couple weeks ago where it looked like it was stuck in a bootloop, but it turned out the phone actually was dead that time and the charger wasn't working. Once we switched chargers it booted right up.
Any other suggestions or possibilities? I don't have much troubleshooting experience otherwise. Phone is fully stock, Google Fi. Any other info I can provide please let me know!
well, i'm not sure if it makes a difference, but now for some reason i can't get into recovery mode again. just goes into the boot loop. It also goes into the boot loop as soon as I plug the phone in to charge.

I assume you can't get into the bootloader using power and volume down buttons?
I have always been about to get into the boot loader. Actually i can get into recovery again as well. Seems if i let it sit for a while it'll go to recovery again. Maybe heat related.
My OG Pixel did the same thing to me one morning. I tried everything to revive my pixel but nothing worked. I did some digging and it turns out there is an issue with the storage on the phone. It's just a old fancy paper weight.

If you can get into recovery, have you tried to sideload a full ota.zip (not an update)?

I haven't. I see that Google has all the ota's on their site. Is there a specific one that i might want to try? The same one? Go back a few? Will i even be able to sideload if my phone is fully stock?
Edit: sideload adb successfully but no change. I loaded the 6-5 ota which was what i already had.

Sounds as if it's time to just try stuff and see what sticks. Regarding using an ota, it works if you are stock, and I sideload it even if I have installed majisk or installed another kernel. It typically works for me with fewer chances of blowing things up than flashing a stock image. Regarding what to try next, you may have already gone into recovery to check the install function to see if your storage still appears and try to flash anything that worked in the past; if you have a backup in twrp you could try to restore it; you could wipe cache and dahlvik; or even sideload an earlier ota version that worked. Since the 6-5 ota did not work nothing really jumps out to me as obvious. One final caveat, I once had to reboot a sideloaded ota a second time before my pixel booted properly. If I think of something else I'll post again.
I took it to ubreakifix and they told me that this is indeed a known issue with pixel xl's that they all suffered from a faulty motherboard and that is indeed the cause here. Said he thought there was actually a class action about it so I'll have to look into it. Really pisses me off that Google repeatedly told me it's not a known issue when their authorized repair center says it is.
Anyway i have a warranty with Upsie that I'm hoping to get this replaced with. We'll see.

Said he thought there was actually a class action about it so I'll have to look into it. Really pisses me off that Google repeatedly told me it's not a known issue when their authorized repair center says it is.
Anyway i have a warranty with Upsie that I'm hoping to get this replaced with. We'll see.

Good luck
I'm assuming you tried booting into twrp recovery, going to reboot, and picked slot A ( or B if already in A) to reboot to and then rebooted system? A lot of the times simply switching slots from recovery and then rebooting is the fix. At least for me.
手机早期经历的情况得说明一下。root没有？Twrp是谁的？
Also, for anyone else having this issue, try rebooting into the bootloader. Connect to PC, and try fastboot --set-active=a
If this doesn't work, try booting back into your recovery image using fastboot boot *whatever you named your TWRP recovery image* and then flashing your twrp.zip again in recovery, and when rebooting if you're in slot B choose slot A in recovery to boot into.
Also keep in mind in Windows 10, it uses Powershell, so commands have to be typed in .\fastboot not just fastboot or it won't take it.
