need advice

tryed to install a new rom and did a full wipe the rom didnt install so i rebooted and now when I hold the power volumn button down i get a quick flashing white/red light where the power charge light is on the top left and cannot get into the phone to do a backup restore any ideas?
thanks
can now get the starting x with the unlock icon on screen but still hangs there thanks for any ideas

Did you try to boot into recovery? Did you try to flash the recovery image again via fastboot?

finally got phone into recovery and restored. I have been having this problem several times.
when I try and go into recovery after the phone is shut off I hold the power and volumn button down at the same time and this usually will boot the phone to recovery. But sometimes it hangs up and the small led on the right coener of the phone will flash between red and white. After removing the battery for a few minutes it goes into boot mode.\
Have you heard of any one else with this problem? thinking the phone might have a problem ?
Was excited for a second as I was hheading to bestbuy for the Nexus s. (smile)
But I want to wait a little longer to see whats next. Tons of stuff coming out wonder ehat google will bring us after the nexus s ????
oh thanks for the reply too

You could just flash everything back via fastboot. Its in the wiki I think. If not it's in the forum.

Cant get in to bootloader/recovery

As it says on the title, I have just rooted went fine then I just installed ClockworkMod Recovery for the LG Optimus 2X went to go in to recovery powering on and holding the Vol down button and a scrren comes up saying
S/W UPGRADE
PLEASE WAIT WHILE UPGRADING....
then nothing happens tried it a couple of time with no joy, having to remove battery to restart, and also it wiped my phone back to stock all my apps etc gone wifi setting etc but the root/superuser is still there
Any idea people????

That is the baseband upgrade screen. You should HOLD power and volume down button!
If that doesn't work are you sure CWM is installed correctly?

It comes up in a command prompt and lists the things its doing and after a min it just goes off, there is no confirmation thats it's been done.

I had this exact same problem as well. It led me to be very confused for a good half hour lol. Simple answer is we weren't booting into recovery properly.
1. Turn the phone off.
2. Hold the volume down button and do not let go.
3. Hold the power button and do not let go.
4. Wait and wait and wait.
5. Should see a small piece of text saying "Android" come up after about 10 seconds-ish.
6. As soon as you see this text let go of the power and volume down buttons.
7. You should now be in recovery.
Hope this helped
Edit: Also I don't think the .bat file used to install CWM recovery gives any confirmation after it's done.

Yeah well i ran the CWM again a couple of times then tried again and it worked great thanks every 1
I just think im impatient as going into CWM on the desire a little bit quicker
Once again THANKS

Had the same problem at first too.
Desire is not as "slow" as the 2X when booting to recovery.
Got myself a factory reset the first time I tried...

Yup exactly, the O2X seems to take much longer than other phones to boot into recovery. I used to have a HTC Hero and it literally took a press of two buttons and then wait a few seconds. Strange...

[Q] I think I killed my phone :s

Hi um I'm pretty new to Android phones, and my Captivate's stuck in a bootloop...
I had CyanogenMod 9 on it, based on ICS 4.0.4, which i still have the .zip for if necessary. But I think I did something stupid... in the recovery (which said something about CWMrecovery) mode, I absent-mindedly formatted the /system directory... derp....
Now basically the phone shows the AT&T logo, then shows some kind of recovery screen, it only flashes up for a short time but I can see in the background both an android, like stock recovery mode, and the logo from ROM manager (or something very similar). There is some text at the bottom but it's very small and only flashes up for a split second so I can't read it... and what's worse, it won't boot into recovery...
I'm not exactly sure how to even do it, but random combinations of the volume & power buttons and home.. screen-area-thing work eventually.. but it's just not working now, as i hold the buttons it either just keeps rebooting before it gets past the AT&T logo or ignoring it completely, showing the recovery screen then rebooting again anyway
Sorry it's kinda long.. I tried to be detailed XD
tl;dr CM9 rom Captivate, formatted /system, stuck in bootloop, recovery mode won't work
Any help would be much appreciated
Edit: Forgot to say, I've searched around already but I haven't found anyone else who's bootloop is caused by formatting /system -.-

re flash the rom. you erased the rom.
dont wipe dont format just flash the rom again. you should be back as if it never happened.

If your in a boot loop you might want to invest in a jig, only $6 on eBay
You also said recovery doesn't work? Have you tried putting it into download mode?

If not google Samsung captivate boot loop. Lots of info on how to fix out there. Sorry I don't work on many Samsung phones. Primarily HTC.

jig will not help bootloop.
you are freaking out because of the bootloop and not holding the button combo for recovery long enough.
take out the battery. and replace
hold both volume buttons
then hold power
keep buttons held for 5 seconds AFTER screen comes on.
if your phone turns on and starts to boot, you have recovery and download.

Tried that, isn't working :\ it just ignores it, shows the recovery screen realy quick then reboots again...

I've had this happen on my captivate...only option is to flash back to a stock ROM and work your way back up to CM9 or whatever you were trying to flash originally. To do this your gonna have to get into download mode. A jiff is your best friend in this situation as suggested by several others. however if the button combo for download mode works for you, that is best. Try unplugging the battery, wait for like 10 seconds and plug back in. Have a PC running, and make sure you have the drivers installed. have the USB cable plugged into your computer, and while holding both the volume buttons down, plug the cable into your phone as well. This should put you into download mode and your good to go.

thanks cmilldrummin (and everyone else)
I got my phone into download mode fine... but i don't think I have the drivers :s (googling still, but can't find them so far)
Also I got it into recovery mode earlier, re-flashed the same custom ROM but when I tried to load it it just kept loading with the blue android on a skateboard until the battery ran out (It was the same one, CM9)
Is the like actual android system openable in download mode? so I could re-write the /system folder? if not I guess I'll just try to re-flash a stock rom then upgrade.. *crosses fingers*

Best way is to flash back to stock and start fresh.

Np Dolei, but yea back to stock is best, gives you a nice clean slate, with no glitches or errors

TRusselo is right. The other posts here are taking the sledgehammer approach for a simple fix. If you cannot get into recovery mode - you're doing it wrong, try again. reflash your rom from recovery and all done.

Try doing this, this has worked for me since I can't get into recovery with the traditional button combo method of holding all three buttons at the same time.
Turn the phone off. Hold the power button, vol up, vol down. Once the ATT boot screen comes on, let go of the power button. Keep holding the volume buttons and voila, you're in recovery.

Agree. Definitely go back to stock if possible first.

Make a backup and try to re-apply the ROM's update.zip without wiping anything.

the problem is i can't show the phone on my computer because it needs to be turned on... And also, my power button is broken...Do you think there is another way to access my phone's system on my computer? :crying:

Pull the battery, connect the USB-cable, re-insert the battery and hold the x button while doing so.
This should take you to recovery and from there you can enable USB mass storage mode.

Thanks... But its stuck on the bootloop... I think im getting it fixed tomorrow though...
Thanks Anyways...
P.S: Although if you can think a way around the bootloop...

Try to enter recovery - either by holding X on the keyboard while powering on or pressing down on your D-Pad.
Recovery works, even if the Android system is bootlooping because it lives on a seperate partition.
You already did this before flashing the ROM.

I have done that but then, what do I do?

Just follow the instructions again - it's not that hard.
Press Volume Down and Camera to access menu, apply update.zip, then Open Recovery starts, and so on...

Pulled battery and connected USB... WORKED!
Idk why, but a million thanks!

[Q] Stuck on Htc Logo and can not power off

Hi Everyone;
I unlocked my phone for flashing custom rom. After unlocking i reebooted it and was normal. Then i flashed cwm via htc one toolkit. It was successfull as well. Then i go to cwm and made factory reset + wipe cache + dalvik cache. Then i go to install zip from sd card but i could not find my rom file. Thought, it was deleted while unlocking device. Then decided to reboot phone again to copy rom file into the phone and reboot.
But, when i rebooted phone from cwm, it stuck on HTC Logo( Quietly Brilliant screen). Waited sometime, but nothing happened. Then i tried to power off it and boot into bootloader or recovery. I press and hold power button but it does not respond anyhow. When i am holding power button ,back and home buttons are blinking but nothing happens. Almost five minutes i waited as holding down power button but phone does not power off anyhow. i tried all methods like vol down + power, vol up + power and both volume keys + power. But really nothing happens, just blinking back and home buttons. That's all.
I can not simply power off device. :crying:
I also tried boot device via fastboot commands but it says "waiting for device" means computer does not recognize device.
Guys, i need an urgent help. Please...

just keep trying to reboot via holding power or power+vol down. if it doesnt reboot after 30 sec or so let go then try again. if that doesnt work you will have to wait for the battery to die. once you get to bootloader use all in one toolkit to erace cache. then boot to recovery and you rom should be there if not boot back to bootloader and sideload rom

First thank you for your quick reply. Unfortunatelly, power+vol down does not work at all. Maybe i tried 50 times.
Anyhow, after battery die. How can i boot into bootloader. I mean, can phone be charged again in this situation? Also, even if i manage to boot into bootloader or recovery how can i put custom rom file into phone. Actually, i did not use sideload or whatever you mentioned before.
I am serouisly confused now and don't know what to do.
Anyhow, as you said, firlst i need wait to battery die i think. Then i will report back whats happen.
Thank you again btw.

yes your not the first person with this problem. hold power+vol down to get into bootloader. press power button in bootloader to get in fast boot mode. use all in one toolkit to erase cache and side load rom. i recommend all in one toolkit because it automates the process. just select the option then follow on screen steps

Good to hear that i am not the first person That means somehow there is a solution i beleive. Still waiting for battery die. even i had 50 percent battery at the begining but still it holds on I never say again htc battery is bad
I exeprienced that stucking on boot logo several times before with my other htc phones but holding power + vol down/up worked always. This is the first time for me that i faced with power button can not power off device.. Well, ,i hope i wish i can handle out this problem. Definetley with your help.
Regards,

I am having the same problem and don't know what to do :crying:
Today I just got my One. Unlocked bootloader, rooted, flashed Android Revolution rom. Everything worked fine for a while... I wanted to reinstall the rom because I wanted to change some options in the installer - I did not wipe because it was the same rom (big mistake I guess!!). After making the installation option changes, when it was done it proceeded to reboot but now I am stuck in a white HTC logo boot loop hell... (with the red text at the bottom that says "this build is for development purposes only" etc). Holy crap I never had a phone that I could not remove the battery. I cannot get this back into recovery or ANYTHING, it just keeps looping... computer recognizes it, no problem with drivers or anything it just doesn't stay connected long enough (because of the constant looping) to be able to use the toolkit.
PLEASE any advice?? Can't even shut it down omg. Do I have a $600 brick here? :crying::crying:

Did you read the other posts in this thread? The way you do a "battery pull" on this phone is to HOLD the PWR + VOL DOWN button for ~15seconds. Your capactivie buttons will blink, too. On my device, it took exactly 15seconds to reboot. There have been some reports of some phones that get so stuck that you just have to wait until the battery dies and charge it back up.
Alternatively, if the computer is recongizing it, try to adb reboot recovery to try and get into the recovery.

hi again. this morning my battery finally out. Then i put my phone to the charger and started it in fastboot mode( that is a good new) Then i left it for 20-30 minutes to charge a little bit for flashing custom rom.Then i went to recovery and started adb sideload. Sideload was succesful and finally came to aroma installer of trickdroid. I chose my installation options and started to flash rom but process was frozen on 10 percent. It was saying unmount system, unmount cahce and both of them has notification as "already unmounted". But installation was not going on. Then again i tried to go back fasboot mode again by press and holding power+vol down but unfortunatelly lights are blinking but nothing happens again. I think i need to wait to battery die again.
Isn't it quite weird? Why power+vol down combination does not work for me anytime? So, do i need to wait for battery die in every frozen? Do you have any ideas or comments ?
Do i need to go back to stock first ?
EDIT : Battery was out again and i tried once more. This time installation (trick droid) was successful but it frozen at the end this time. And unfortunatelly i can not restart (power+vol down) it again again Holy crap, i am really pissed off with this problem.

O..K...Finally, i managed to start my phone and now it works... Especially thank you skinsfanbdh for your support.
But still i don't know how to solve button configuration problem. But anyhow i think i won't need quite sometim to use it I hope someone can find a solution for that later.

Guide me with steps please
